[Tsunade:???]

[Tsunade: What? How come Jiraiya is on the list?]

[Minato Namikaze: Hey, is that Jiraiya- sensei?]

[Ōnoki: The Toad Sage of Konoha, huh? He certainly deserves the title of Sannin.]

[Hanzo of the Salamander: Hmph, just a defeated opponent.]

Jiraiya's inclusion on the list is generally accepted by other Shinobi World, although our demigod doesn't agree. To be fair, the original Sannin were indeed no match for Hanzō, but Hanzo was incredibly powerful later on. Someone who was defeated by Nagato in one move doesn't seem quite right either.

Tsunade, now a teammate, seizes every opportunity to mock Jiraiya mercilessly. Despite his penchant for spying, the Inventory System still includes Jiraiya.

The relationship between Tsunade and Jiraiya is perhaps like this: Tsunade often belittles Jiraiya, just like when they were children.

Like most of his friends, Jiraiya's childhood love of beauty led him to Tsunade Jiraiya a young age, a belief that never wavered.

Unlike Obito Jiraiya Naruto, Hokage's initial motivation for becoming Hokage wasn't so noble. At the time, he simply wanted to show off in front of the woman he loved and win Tsunade's favor.

However, Jiraiya's behavior in front of Tsunade was actually quite comical. I think any woman with a bit of imagination wouldn't like someone like that. Besides, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and her fiery personality rivals any man's. Gaining her approval wouldn't be an easy task.

Tsunade has both good looks and a great personality; Jiraiya at the time was simply not good enough for Tsunade.

After years of fruitless pursuit, Jiraiya and started his own career, traveling the world in search of the "Child of Prophecy" mentioned by the Toad Sage, to save the world from peril.

Jiraiya was on his way back to Konoha, also saw this review. However, more than anything else, he wanted to know how he would be evaluated in the future. Jiraiya stared at the screen, lost in thought.

The color scheme at this moment is different from usual; the entire screen is shrouded in gloom, as if foreshadowing the outcome of Jiraiya's operation.

Suddenly, a frog appeared on the calm water, and a pair of familiar large hands emerged from its mouth.

[Konan: This familiar scene, this familiar rain... Isn't this Amegakure?!]

[Yahiko: What? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Amegakure? I could have gone to greet you.]

[Orochimaru: It really is Amegakure, but Jiraiya's attire doesn't seem like he's here to visit his student.]

[Tsunade: Who knows?]

Although Tsunade verbally expressed her disdain for Jiraiya, for some reason she was still worried about him.

"How could Jiraiya possibly be in trouble? What was I thinking?" Tsunade quickly banished the bad thoughts from her mind.

Jiraiya, having crawled out completely Jiraiya, slowly observed his surroundings. He hadn't expected the infiltration to go so smoothly; it seemed this operation wouldn't be too difficult.

"It's surprisingly easy, but..."

It was still raining incessantly in Amegakure at this moment, as if the village, like its name, was perpetually shrouded in rain.

"Where should I begin my investigation?" Jiraiya pondered his next move, unaware that he had been detected by Nagato's Rain Tiger at Will Technique the instant he infiltrated.

At that moment, Pain was at the highest point of Amegakure, gave a puzzled "hmm," then stared intently at the spot where Jiraiya had infiltrated.

"What's wrong, Nagato?" Konan asked, puzzled.

"Someone blocked my rain; the feeling of that Chakra is incredibly powerful," Nagato said.

[Tsunade: Why Jiraiya infiltrate Amegakure?]

[Hanzo of the Salamander: That's ridiculous! Does he really think Amegakure Jiraiya?]

Hanzō still believes that Jiraiya infiltrated Amegakure to deal with him. After all, Amegakure is a small ninja village, and apart from himself, Demigod of the Ninja World, there seems to be nothing that Konoha would be interested in.

[Mei Terumi: Judging from the situation, it should be more than ten years from now. By then, how could Hanzō possibly be worth Konoha taking such a big step to deal with?]

[Hanzo of the Salamander: Girl from Kirigakure, are you questioning this old man?!]

[Ōnoki: That makes sense. Hanzō a decade or so from now certainly won't be worth Konoha's time to deal with.]

Hanzō saw that others thought the same way, a nameless anger rose in his heart. Why was it that everyone recognized Hashirama Senju so much, even though they were both gods, while he, who had made such a great name, was still considered inferior to Hashirama Senju?

"Hashirama Senju, it's a real pity we weren't from the same era, otherwise, how could the title of God of Shinobi have fallen to you?" Hanzo of the Salamander said arrogantly.

It's no wonder Hanzō was so arrogant; ordinary Shinobi don't even have Kage Level strength, so how could they tell who was stronger?

Hanzo of the Salamander wiped out so many Shinobi during the Second Shinobi World War, but if you look closely at his fight records, only a few of them are truly famous.

He simply bullied the Sannin in their youth, along with some ordinary Jonin, and yet he was wildly praised as Demigod of the Ninja World.

All I can say is, Hanzō, you have no shame whatsoever.

[In the scene, Jiraiya's first action upon infiltrating Amegakure is to search for information about Pain.]

However, Jiraiya still believes that the leader of Amegakure is Hanzo of the Salamander, unaware that the old man Hanzo has long Hanzō passed away.

Jiraiya's method of gathering information was also quite unique; he immediately went to the most famous club in the area.

Not only that, Jiraiya also ordered a waiter who looked remarkably like Tsunade, and coincidentally, the waiter's name was also Tsunade.

[Tsunade: Jiraiya, I knew you'd be like this. Even on a mission, you don't forget to call me "little girl," do you?]

Tsunade was furious when she saw Jiraiya's lack of ambition. "You dare to go to a club and pick up girls while on a mission? Have you grown too big for your britches?"

[Konan: As expected of Jiraiya- sensei.]

[Minato Namikaze: As expected of Jiraiya- sensei.]

[Kushina: Minato, don't let Jiraiya corrupt Jiraiya! If I find out you dare to do that, watch out, my fists won't hold back!]

Minato quickly declared himself Pure Love Warrior, implying he could never do such a thing.

"The customer chose me on their first visit here, it must be because of my charm." At this moment, Tezuka poured Jiraiya a glass of wine.

"Ah, it must be because you and one of my friends look so alike, even your names are very similar." Jiraiya stared at Tsunade's "cow" outfit, especially noting that a certain part of her body was comparable to Tsunade's.

"You look unfamiliar. You're not from this village, are you?" Tezuka asked.

"Yes, I was talking about the travel writer. I heard about Hanzo of the Salamander." Jiraiya was just about to ask about Hanzō when Tsuna quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh, you can't mention that person here," Tsuna explained to Jiraiya.

Hanzō was eliminated by Pain a long time ago, and now the rain in the village is all Pain's Ninjutsu. As long as someone gets wet in the rain, he can know exactly who is there and what they are doing.
