Is This the Patriarch's Home?

Konoha Detention Center.

"The person you're looking for is in here."

A member of the Uchiha Security Force led the Akatsuki Organization members to the entrance of a cell.

Through the iron bars, they saw a white-haired man lying inside.

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Yahiko called out tentatively.

The sleeping Jiraiya abruptly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked toward the door.

Five people in black robes patterned with red clouds stood there.

The three young people at the front were unmistakably the disciples he had once taken in within the Land of Rain.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, why are you here?!"

Jiraiya gripped the iron bars, his face filled with excitement.

"Are you here to bail me out?!"

Since he was a repeat offender, his original fifteen-day sentence had been extended to a month.

Today was only the third day of his sentence.

Kakuzu frowned slightly. This was the leader's teacher?

Why did he seem so unreliable?

If even the teacher was this unreliable, could that so-called richest patriarch really be trustworthy?!

For a moment, Kakuzu felt like he had been played again.

But since they were already here, he could only wait and see...

"Teacher Jiraiya, why were you locked up?" Yahiko asked worriedly.

When they arrived in Konoha to inquire about Teacher Jiraiya's whereabouts, they had learned from others that he was being held in the detention center.

"Haha, it's a long story." Jiraiya hurriedly changed the subject. He did not want to ruin his image in front of his disciples. "Do you have any money on you? Can you bail me out?"

Ever since Teacher Renye stopped looking after him, no one had bailed him out again.

His friends and disciples could not help him either.

Tsunade was buried in debt. It was already good enough
