"It seems Iwagakure values these spies highly." Jiraiya turned and scanned the surroundings.
Because they had been in a hurry to rendezvous with the supporting force for the ambush, they had not had time to interrogate the White Zetsu. They had only sent two ninja to take it to a hidden location for imprisonment.
What Jiraiya had not expected was that Iwagakure's people would find and take away the White Zetsu in just a few hours.
It could practically be described as lightning-fast.

Iwagakure had had far too little time to act.
Before the ambush had officially begun, Iwagakure definitely had not known the spy was exposed. Otherwise, their ninja forces would not have walked into the trap Mu Yue had arranged.
