Gutsy Master and Student: The Training

is episode 187 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Summary
Naruto and Jiraiya have left Konoha to begin their three year journey. Jiraiya explains that Naruto must master breaking genjustu if he wishes to bring Sasuke back because Sasuke's Sharingan's ability. Jiraiya summons Gamariki to help Naruto further his training. Gamariki kisses Naruto, thus forcing him into his genjutsu. Once trapped by the Genjutsu, Naruto sees forms of Juraiya, Sakura, and Sasuke but with all Gamariki's face. This forcing Naruto into a running frenzy before his feet are caught by Gamariki's mouth (Gamariki having converted into the floor). Naruto, trying to distrupt the flow of chakra inside of his body, instead creates a chakra blast with his physical body that forces Gamariki into the nearby river. Jiraiya quickly releases Naruto and explains they must work on Chakra control before they can go any further with genjutsu. Naruto practices on the river water nearby, constantly falling in as he tries to distrupt his chakra flow. The next morning, he appears to master this skill. They one again begin to travel, Jiraiya happily watches Naruto as he remembers Minato, stating that Naruto is like his grandson. They soon arrive to the Village hidden in Genjutsu Trees to train there because it has natural genjutsu affinity. However, upon their arrival, they are greeted with chili powder. A village boy, Tanishi, whom Jiraiya once stayed with asks them to leave from on top of a tall wall that gates off the village. Jiraiya finds this rather odd as he remembered this village to be benevolent and very hospitable when he had stayed with the boy's family. Tanishi again asks them to leave or there would be trouble. Jiraiya pretends to leave with Naruto so no trouble would be caused. Tanishi's shift ends and he heads home only to be caught by Jiraiya and Naruto who wish to understand and help the once benevolent village. Tanishi explains that Kandachi has come there to hide from Amegakure pursuit, taking over as a violent dictator who threatens to kill the women and children he holds captive. Tanishi also explains his father was killed by Kandachi and that he was a fool to stand up to a man when there was absolutely no way he would have been able to win. Tanishi begs them to leave so that no trouble would be caused but Jiraiya hits the back of Tanishi's neck, rendering him unconcious as the two ninjas decide to free the village of Kandachi and the rest of ex-Amegakure ninja.
