"Gasp!"
"Isn't this Konoha?"
"Jiraiya, who on earth are you asking me to deal with?" Gamabunta asked, puffing on a giant pipe and looking confused as he surveyed the scene with his hip-blade tattoo.
"Jiraiya! Don't tell me the Nine-Tails has broken out again!"
The last time Gamabunta came to Konoha, he was summoned by Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze to fight the Nine-Tails, and Minato Namikaze died after that very battle.
"Ah na! Ah na!"
"Don't worry, you don't have to fight the Nine-Tails."
"This is the Uchiha rebellion in the village, and I need your help to suppress it." Jiraiya began to explain to Gamabunta.
Although Jiraiya's teacher was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the things Hiruzen Sarutobi actually taught him were truly limited, and his ascension to the Super Kage-tier was entirely thanks to the toads of Mount Myōboku.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was still somewhat more generous than Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake.
In the generations of Naruto and Obito, the squad leaders were truly just squad leaders; aside from helping the students train in the basics, they taught them almost nothing.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had at least passed down the Multiple Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique he developed to the three of them; if Jiraiya couldn't learn it, that was Jiraiya's own problem.
"Lady Tsunade!" The one summoned by Tsunade was a gigantic slug, which they called Katsuyu.
"Sorry to trouble you this time." Tsunade spoke to Katsuyu courteously.
Don't let Katsuyu's soft, gentle voice and seemingly harmless appearance fool you; Katsuyu's strength might be one of the most powerful existences in this world.
This world possessed three Summoning Animal Sanctuaries: Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryūchi Cave!
The Mount Myōboku that Jiraiya contracted with and the Ryūchi Cave that Orochimaru contracted with both contained countless summoning animals within their sanctuaries.
Yet
