Basically, Naruto leaves to train with Jiraiya for a few years. When he comes back, he's more powerful and ready to take on bigger challenges.
In the gap between Naruto and Shippuden, Naruto trains with the legendary Sannin Jiraiya, honing his skills and gaining new techniques. He returns to Konoha ready to face the Akatsuki and find Sasuke.
Nothing much. Just a little thing called *intense training arc*, you know, the usual.
