Jiraiya led a team of three people to the location where Asuma and three people performed their mission, Land of Hot Water.
Originally, the task of informing Asuma of Third Hokage's death was important, but the difficulty was not high. There was no need for Jiraiya to do it himself, just send Anbu casually.
However, Jiraiya has followed the future adult Sasuke in the past few days and had several conversations after contact. He can see that the character of future Sasuke is much softer than the current little Sasuke.
Except that he seems a little bad at interpersonal communication, he is almost the same as Minato.
It is absolutely impossible for such a person to kill Third Hokage, no matter for any reason.
As for Boruto?
With Boruto's strength, even if it were a sneak attack, it would be impossible to kill Third Hokage silently.
Rather, even he and Orochimaru cannot do this.
That is, only the "Ōtsutsuki" mentioned by Tsunade can do it.
Jiraiya suspects that Ōtsutsuki has actually arrived in this era, but the other party has chosen to lurk, first getting rid of the combat forces around Naruto, and then taking action against Naruto.
In order to lure out Ōtsutsuki and prevent the other party from attacking the people in Konoha again, Jiraiya made this decision.
Using the mission of informing Asuma of Third Hokage's death as an excuse, take both Naruto and Boruto out.
As for Konohamaru?
Brought along by the way.
It's a little too obvious to have just these two intentions.

Land of Hot Water.
The so-called "soup" means hot spring.
Land of Hot Water There are hot springs everywhere.
The mission of Team Asuma here was assigned by Third Hokage to investigate the situation of Jashin Cult here.
Unfortunately, they came to investigate for several days and found nothing.
On the contrary, when I soaked in the hot spring Tenten, I felt like I was on vacation.
"Ino She is pitiful. She stays in the village to practice Tenten..."
Choji was half lying in the hot spring, with a plate floating in front of him with various foods on it.
"The hot spring service at Land of Hot Water is indeed second to none at Shinobi World, and the bathhouse at Konoha is simply incomparable."
Shikamaru is in another small pond, playing water shogi with others.
"Konoha? Are you from Konoha Ninja Village?"
When the young man playing chess with Shikamaru heard the conversation between Shikamaru and Choji, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Shikamaru answered with his mouth, but secretly thought that he was in trouble, he should have known better.
"Hey, this and this."
The man took out a book from behind his back and asked excitedly, "The author of this book is Kakashi from your village, so are the things in it true?"
"<<Manly Man Strategy>>? This thing is already on sale? Why... the cover has also been changed?"
Shikamaru looked at the title of the book and was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this the "Book of Answers" given to him by Shirozumi during the Chunin Ninja Exams period?
He only read a small part of it at the time, and after taking it home, his father took it away.
"Change the cover? No, this book has always been like this since it was released... Wait, have you seen the unreleased version?"
In the middle of speaking, the other party suddenly grabbed Shikamaru's hand excitedly, and then said with an envious look, "Oh, it would be great if I were a Konoha citizen, so close to the water."
"Uh, haha."
Shikamaru laughed twice.
"So is the story here true?"
The other party asked a question that Shikamaru had not answered just now.
"That's right. After reading it, my dad said that the story in it was indeed adapted from real events."
Shikamaru nodded.
"Is this true?"
The other party opened the first page of the book, and there was a photo and a paragraph of text inside.
"Aren't you afraid that the books will get soaked in water when you flip through them here?"
Shikamaru complained.
"Don't be afraid, this book is a collector's edition and it's waterproof."
"Waterproof... is this Explosive Tag waterproof?"
"Don't worry about these useless things, little brother, take a look."
"..."
Shikamaru turned his attention to the book.
"Second?"
"Really Second Hokage?"
Shikamaru's low cry made the other party confirm.
This photo turns out to be real.
Shikamaru is a little confused.
In the photo above, the one standing at position C is Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. Behind him there seems to be First Hokage, Third Hokage, and Orochimaru.
Isn't this what happened when Orochimaru and Sunagakure invaded a few days ago?
It is said that Orochimaru used the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation to summon the deceased First Hokage and Second Hokage.
Could it be that Kakashi stopped by and took a photo with Past?
Or was it Jiraiya who helped Kakashi take the photo?
I saw it was also marked next to the photo - the fifth part was personally dictated by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju who was released by Impure World Reincarnation, which is true and reliable.
"The fifth part is written based on the dictation of Second? There is also a supplement? No, is this too late?"
Shikamaru scratched his head and felt something was wrong, "Well, have you finished reading the fifth part? What is it about?"
"The story here is very exciting. You are still young. Do you really want to know?"
When the other party heard Shikamaru asking, he immediately hesitated.
"Stop talking nonsense and talk quickly!"
"We are bored in the hot springs, please tell me!"
Waves of urging sounds came from the side.
It turned out that the conversation between the two had been heard by other people in the hot spring.
There are people reading books while soaking in hot springs, which is a beautiful thing.
"Didn't I just say that? I've already seen the unreleased version, what are you afraid of?"
Shikamaru curled his lips.
The content in <Jingman Paradise> is a bit abstract, but it's not like that, right?
"Okay, then I'll start talking."
"According to Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's recollection of the past, it was actually not him who killed Madara Uchiha's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna.
When he used the move Flying Thunder God Slash, he only cut off Izuna's style.
But what people never expected was that there were "iron ropes" on it! The heart of Tobirama, who was still young at the time, was severely damaged.
Madara Uchiha, who was fighting First Hokage Hashirama Senju at the time, saw his brother's secret exposed and hurriedly retreated with Izuna.
Later, he asked Madara how "Izuna" was doing, because he wanted to confirm whether Madara was crazy and tortured him mercilessly when Izuna was seriously injured.
After learning that Izuna passed away, Tobirama Senju was devastated, and became even more convinced of Madara's animal behavior beneath his cold appearance.
Hence, his subsequent actions against the Uchiha Clan.
Unless he is sure that Uchiha is heterosexual, then he will choose to recognize it, such as Kagami Uchiha in his team."
"Afterwards, Tobirama Senju recalled his last battle, which was the scene when he had a meeting with Kumogakure and was killed by Kinkaku Ginkaku.
It is said that Kinkaku Ginkaku was once swallowed into the belly of Nine-Tails and gnawed the flesh and blood of Nine-Tails, thus obtaining Chakra of Nine-Tails.
But in that battle, Tobirama Senju learned a shocking secret.
It turned out that when Kinkaku Ginkaku was swallowed by Nine-Tails, he saw something other than gastric juice in his belly. At that time, Nine-Tails was so angry that he told them to shut up, and the local man said that it had nothing to do with Madara Uchiha.
After learning that Madara had not only done something to his brother's birth, but also Nine-Tails, Tobirama was shocked at that time. That's why he didn't use Flying Thunder God and was killed by Kinkaku Ginkaku."
