"Could all these people be..."
Jiraiya looked at Lin Guang and winked, having completely reverted to his usual carefree manner.
Lin Guang gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Satō Maji said, "Lord Jiraiya, you're back already?"
At that moment, Hyūga Jō looked toward the direction Lin Guang had left in and said, "It looked like there was someone else here
