On the other side, Jiraiya's battle against his former student was only growing more frustrating.
Why was this enemy who looked like Yahiko getting stronger and stronger?
It seemed that every time Konoha took down an enemy, this opponent grew a little stronger.
Now that Kakashi had also defeated the Asura Path,
the feeling was especially clear!
This man calling himself Deva had already become several times stronger than before!
Everyone watched as Jiraiya was sent flying dozens of meters again.
"Lord Jiraiya, do you need help?"
"Enough! Don't underestimate me. I'm the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"
Spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Jiraiya panted heavily, looking rather annoyed.
Before returning to the village yesterday, he'd spent too much energy at that pleasure house, and on top of that, he hadn't gotten much sleep last night.
Then, early this morning, he'd endured the racket all the way here on the plane.
He was getting old.
He couldn't just casually enjoy a three-person game anymore.
Tuoye was a good doctor, but he didn't seem to know how to treat kidney deficiency.
One star!
Tuoye had no idea he'd just been given a bad review. He was still cheerfully watching the show.
"Lord Jiraiya, can you handle this or not?"
"What? Can I handle it? Back when I ruled the pleasure districts, you were still a tadpole with a long tail!"
"Then hurry up. I need to get back for dinner, or I'll miss my chance to mooch a meal."
Jiraiya was irritated. He was in the middle of a fight, for crying out loud! Did he understand what that meant?
This was serious!
He could die!
Watching from the sidelines and picking his nose was one thing, but picking his nose while wondering where to mooch dinner afterward?
