Tsunade tried to smooth things over. "Liao Wu, that's enough. Jiraiya and the others didn't come here today to fight you."
Liao Wu gave Tsunade some face. "Jiraiya, I'm letting you off today for Tsunade's sake!"
"..."
Sweat poured down Jiraiya's forehead. He only felt that Liao Wu was becoming less and less human.
He hurriedly got to the point. "Well... General, we came to take back our Leaf Ninjas!"
Liao Wu had Candy negotiate with Jiraiya.
Candy crouched on Liao Wu's shoulder, her cat eyes fixed on Jiraiya. "Jiraiya, you know our terms."
Jiraiya nodded. "I do. Kushina has already agreed to hand over the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques!"
Candy nodded. "Hand over all of the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Techniques, and we'll naturally release your Leaf Ninjas!"

"Then how are we supposed to negotiate?"
"One Sealing Technique for one person!"
"No. We want all the Sealing Techniques!"

Sakumo was exchanged for two Sealing Techniques, because he was Leaf's White Fang and possessed the strength of a Kage.

All the captured Leaf Ninjas were finally gathered.
Seeing that Sakumo was unharmed, Kakashi's pounding heart finally settled.
Yūhi Shinkō was the same. Seeing
