Hey naruto I got you this hat it used to belong to some guy named yagura
"The badder the enemy, the better the hat. That's how it works."

We were supposed to ask him in Chapter 118, though I don't know if @eaglejarl actually did it or not since it doesn't look like he noted it in the miscellaneous section.
Get him a gift certificate to Ichiraku Ramen. Or have Kagome prepare him his famous Wild Man's Ramen, made from worms!

Again, Hazō isn't comfortable with Jiraiya as his parent, so it would be better to consider him a disreputable uncle. That said, I totally want to have Naruto join our clan.

Unlikely Naruto will be able to join the clan for political reasons.
Anyway, of course Hazou doesn't see Jiraiya as a father but that doesn't mean he can't treat Naruto like family.
Depends. Does he already have a clan? If not, Jiraiya's the closest he's got. And hey, really good

Pretty sure Naruto doesn't have a trickster persona. Unless he's talking about Minato?

For what it's worth, I interpreted that as Naruto confessing pranks to Jiraiya.
In other news: I highly doubt we'll get anything to do with Naruto because Jiraiya hasn't brought him up to us, and Jiraiya seems to be doing everything in his power to help us and be associated with us, which would likely include introducing us to his nephew if that were in the cards. That and the fact that Naruto is possibly Leaf's only wmd mean that he probably doesn't get out much (or, rather, may be out virtually all the time).

Naruto is definitely a trickster in canon. He defaced the hokage monument after all.
This probably doesn't happen in the MfD universe, though he could still be a prankster.

Canon Naruto pranks people to get noticed by people, since he doesn't want them to hate him/ignore him for his jinchuriki status.
MfD Sarutobi would never have revealed this status and would certainly have let decent ninjas raise him. Like Jiraiya, Naruto's godfather (and who apparently knows the kid beyond their canon interactions). Thus Naruto's desire to prank others would have no reason to manifest.
Or who knows.

Goddamnit. Thanks for the heads-up

I agree. Unfortunately, we have settled in Leaf before we were able to properly explore the world. I suggest we ask Jiraiya about if there are things outside the Elemental Nation, and, if so, what they are.

- Yes.
Kagome: Lupchanz bases, Hidden Depths, *starts ticking off increasingly horrible things on his fingers*...
Hazou: *taking notes*

I'd kinda like Jiraiya and Kagome to cross check each other. I assume that both have incorrect information.
- Location
- Yes.
I'd rather think both of them have the correct information, they're just interpreting it...differently.
Like Kagome is Xenophilius Lovegood getting vague prophecies from his daughter and deciding to claim "HARRY POTTER GETS DRACO MALFOY PREGNANT". Meanwhile, Jiraiya is Dumbledore.
On the other hand, a pre-teen boy thinking it's hilarious to prank people is hardly something that needs complex psychological justification. Maybe not to the defacing monuments level, but the 'putting erasers above door to fall on teacher's head" level seems more than possible.
