Money? Life? Women?!
None of those! For the strong, the most important things were reputation and pride!
After all, in the Shinobi World, you could die the very next second.
Life was worthless in the Shinobi World!
What the strong truly cared about was their own reputation and pride.
Otherwise, during the Second Great Ninja War, Hanzō the "Demigod," the leader of Amegakure, would not have bestowed the title of "Three Ninja" upon them after Konoha had driven him into a corner.
It was meant to show Amegakure's acceptance of defeat and its goodwill toward Konoha.
In the Shinobi World, reputation was even more important than life.
If his reputation were completely ruined, what was the point of living? He might as well die!
No! Even death would not let him rest in peace!
Compared to that, Jiraiya could only apologize to the Toad brothers of Mount Myōboku.
Besides, Yuu might not really chop up the Great Toad Sage.
Maybe Yuu was just talking big.
Jiraiya kept consoling himself inwardly.
"However, Yuu, Mount Myōboku is extremely far away, and barriers have been set up all around it. Ordinary methods can't get you there.
"The most convenient method is to use the Reverse Summoning Technique, but that requires signing a summoning contract with the Toad Clan."
Jiraiya spoke slowly.
A trace of anticipation rose in his heart.
Yuu hated trouble the most.
And Yuu would not like creatures like toads, either. The only thing about toads that had ever interested Yuu—
Was that, before Yuu had fully risen to prominence, he had thought they could fetch a good price and be traded for alcohol.
The current Yuu naturally had no need to do that.
Maybe Yuu would find it too troublesome and give up on going to Mount Myōboku?
Whoosh—smack!
Aaargh!!!
