One of the greatest mistakes Tobirama made in his life was bringing together Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya, those two kindred troublemakers.
From then on, Konoha had a master-and-student duo that annoyed everyone, dogs included.

Neither did a single useful thing. They completely forgot their identities and responsibilities as a Combat Shinobi and a Combat Shinobi trainee.
They cast aside the shinobi training Tobirama and Sage Fukasaku had assigned them and threw themselves wholeheartedly into a grand literary endeavor.

But Monkey's reckless antics actually sent the Uchiha Police Officers' reputation soaring, simply because they beat him harder than anyone else.
