When Jiraiya heard the pretty boy agree, he immediately grew excited. After all, he hadn't spent the past three years at Mount Myoboku just lazing around and eating bugs. He had trained seriously. Senjutsu was simply very difficult to master, but he hadn't come away empty-handed. At the very least, under the Toad Sage's guidance, he had made great progress in some areas of ninjutsu.
When Tsunade heard Dan Katō agree, she looked at him with concern. Jiraiya might be unreliable at times, but he was genuinely strong. You could say he was a late bloomer.
Otherwise, the Third Hokage wouldn't have taken Jiraiya on as his student.
Tsunade was worried Dan Katō wouldn't be able to beat Jiraiya. She knew what Dan's ninjutsu was like. The Spirit Transformation Technique was mainly for killing by catching people off guard; it wasn't something to take lightly.
Aside from the Spirit Transformation Technique, his other ninjutsu was nothing special. Though Li Yi had trained him well over the past six months, Dan had only learned the Rasengan and some Fire Style.
The problem was that Jiraiya knew both the Rasengan and Fire Style—and Jiraiya's Fire Style was quite powerful.
"Jiraiya..." Tsunade thought, fixing him with a glare. If that guy dared to get rough, hmph! He'd have to answer to her iron fists. She'd beat him so badly he couldn't take care of himself.
Jiraiya sensed a murderous aura. When he saw Tsunade glaring at him, he immediately felt a little guilty. Is this how you treat your teammate?
But Jiraiya quickly turned his fiery gaze toward Dan Katō. This is all your fault, pretty boy. You really deserve to die. Taking advantage of someone when they're down—shameless!
Seeing Jiraiya like that, Orochimaru quietly cleared the field. Tsunade had no choice but
