Jiraiya sighed in relief after watching Shimura Danzō leave. If a fight really broke out in Konoha, Konoha would be the one to suffer.
But now Jiraiya faced a dilemma. If he went looking for Tsunade with Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru would be left alone in Konoha. If Shimura Danzō refused to give up and secretly sent more people over, he worried Orochimaru would not be able to hold them off.
So he told Orochimaru his concerns. Orochimaru smiled when he heard them, because he was no longer the Orochimaru he had been before. His strength had improved considerably, and simply protecting the Third Hokage and Hatake Sakumo should not be a problem.
Still, to put Jiraiya at ease, Orochimaru said:
"If you're worried, leave Minato Namikaze here. With his Flying Thunder God Technique and me here as well, no one should be able to hurt the old man again."
Hearing this, Jiraiya figured that with Orochimaru around, practically no one could harm the Third Hokage. Besides, even if they could not win, Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique would make escaping easy. But he also needed Minato Namikaze to help him travel, so he hurriedly said:
"If I leave Minato Namikaze here, who's going to get me there to find Tsunade?"
Orochimaru gave a mysterious smile and said:
"When it comes to finding people, I have someone to recommend. I guarantee he'll help you find her quickly."
As he spoke, Orochimaru walked toward an empty room. Jiraiya had no idea what he was up to and could only follow in confusion.
Once Jiraiya entered, Orochimaru closed the door and took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Jiraiya naturally recognized the kunai, since his own student used the same kind. Only the writing on it seemed somewhat different.
