"How dare they?"
Jiraiya's expression darkened.
The Dark Dawn gang had already been defeated in the Ninja War. Instead of lying low, they were now coveting the Nine-Tails. This wasn't just a provocation against the Five Great Shinobi Villages—it was, to some extent, a challenge to Breaking Dawn, led by A!
