Fishing at Hozuki Castle

Just like that, Naruto missed out on the Blood Prison movie experience, but Jiraiya made up for it.

Of course, Blood Prison no longer contained the Box of Ultimate Bliss or the final boss, Satori.

What Jiraiya was about to enjoy was pure prison life.

The current lord of Hozuki Castle was no longer Mui, who had been obsessed with reviving his son, but Mujō, who had replaced him.

Moreover, because of what had happened with Mui, everything at Hozuki Castle was now under Shinobi World supervision.

The supervision itself had not been publicly announced. Only those involved—namely Shirozumi's group and Kumogakure's group—knew about it.

This so-called supervision meant being monitored by Amegakure and Kumogakure, the two "representatives."

But Jiraiya's impression of Hozuki Castle still remained stuck in the past.

Yes, after receiving the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, Jiraiya had begun wandering the Shinobi World. During that time, he had encountered countless people and events.

He had come into contact with the other five of Pain's Six Paths.

Perhaps it was a coincidence of fate, but more than that, the Shinobi World was only so large. Jiraiya had traveled all over it, so he was bound to run into them sooner or later.

Take Hozuki Castle, for example. Jiraiya had naturally visited it before as well.

But as a prison, its contents held absolutely no interest for him. There were no female prisoners with incredible figures, either, so he had not stayed long before leaving.

Now, he was about to return to Hozuki Castle as a prisoner.

Jiraiya held no expectations whatsoever.

There was no way he would have any romantic encounters with female prisoners or female guards here.

He only hoped no one would disturb his training.

Escorted by Konoha's Anbu aboard a ship, Jiraiya was delivered to Hozuki
