Afterward, during their conversation, Jiraiya learned something: Orochimaru was the one who had revived Minato and Kushina!
That was right. Although Kushina had been revived by Soji, Soji had also given the credit to his "dear" Teacher Orochimaru.
This left Jiraiya feeling both complicated and excited.
Honestly, after pursuing Orochimaru for so many years, Jiraiya had long given up hope of ever bringing Orochimaru back to Konoha.
Especially after hearing about Orochimaru's attack on Konoha this time, Jiraiya had even been considering whether he should abandon that naive notion.
Yet now, he had learned that Orochimaru was the one who revived Minato and Kushina. How could Jiraiya possibly remain calm?
