Deep down, Jiraiya even thought that it would have been better if Minato had not rescued him.
Then he would not have had to worry about these difficult problems.
Life in Hozuki Castle had actually been fine. As long as the Ninja Sect's ninjas did not attack Hozuki Castle, Jiraiya still had his freedom.
He could write some pornographic novels, drink a little, and flirt with Amegakure's widows...
But there was no choice. As a Leaf Ninja possessing the Will of Fire, Jiraiya could never stand by and watch Liao Wu destroy his village.
No matter what, he had to stop Liao Wu!
Since there was no solution right now, he would return to Konoha first and gather more ninjas to figure something out!
Before leaving, Tobirama and the others sprang into action to rescue the reconnaissance ninjas being pursued and killed by the Ninja Cats.
Jiraiya summoned Gama Bunta, blocking Fish Ball and his group of Ninja Cats.
Bunta took a puff from his old pipe, and the first words out of his mouth carried all the storms of the Jianghu. "Jiraiya, I thought you'd been chopped to death."
Bunta's words were full of gangster swagger, but Jiraiya heard the concern behind them.
He patted Bunta on the head. "Bunta, we can fight side by side again!"
Bunta drew his enormous toad blade. "Jiraiya, don't keep charging recklessly after dying once! I can't cover for you!"
"Got it! Got it!"
Fish Ball let out a hiss. "Jiraiya, this guy actually dared to face us again. Are you that eager to die?"
Jiraiya pointed at Fish Ball. "Fish Ball, you Thief Cat! Following your Master, you learned none of the good and all of the bad!"
Fish Ball asked Jiraiya in confusion, "Jiraiya, does my Master have any good qualities?"
