Although Jiraiya has all kinds of problems,
there is no doubt that he is a standard Konoha Enforcer Ninja.
More than twenty years ago.
Tsunade left the village.
Orochimaru became Konoha's Gold Medal Enforcer, with the highest number of missions among the Konoha Ninja.
Later, Orochimaru defected.
Jiraiya took up the heavy burden.
He inherited the position of the village's top enforcer.
He could be called a model worker, carrying out missions tirelessly and without complaint.
To this day...
The number of missions Jiraiya had completed was...
58 D-Rank, 345 C-rank, 684 B-rank, 614 A-rank, and more than 100 S-Rank missions...
Although in recent years,
as Jiraiya traveled throughout the Shinobi World, the number of A-rank missions he completed gradually decreased.
The number of S-Rank missions, however, continued to rise.
For some extremely troublesome S-Rank missions, Jiraiya would volunteer to take them on.
Just like this time.
Infiltrating Orochimaru's lair and eliminating Orochimaru...
That would unquestionably be an S-Rank Mission.
Unfortunately... it couldn't be done.
Judging from their Ninjutsu styles,
Jiraiya, whose attacks were broad and powerful, was not Orochimaru's match.
Orochimaru possessed extremely high Ninjutsu resistance and could take an S-Rank Energy Wave Technique head-on.
It would be extremely difficult for Jiraiya to kill Orochimaru.
As for Taijutsu,
Orochimaru could take Tsunade's Monster Strength head-on.
It could be said that
Jiraiya practically had no way to punish Orochimaru.
Perhaps Sage Mode could do it.

So... there was a high probability that this couldn't be done.
After obtaining information from Sasori,
Hyuga Sho set out.
He headed for the distant Land of Sea.
Several hours later...
Hyuga Sho crossed the Land of Sea, passed through the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools, and entered the vast
