Main Characters (4)
Summary
Jiraiya attempts a dramatic arrival, only for Naruto to puncture the moment by pointing out that he had simply wandered off to flirt with a woman. Because that woman turned out to be caught in a genjutsu, Jiraiya works out that Itachi and Kisame had staged the distraction to pull him away from Naruto, which confirms for him that Akatsuki really is hunting the Nine-Tails.
Key Events
Listening to Jiraiya, Itachi grasps that it was the Toad Sage who had tipped Kakashi off about the organization. Jiraiya readies himself to fight, but Sasuke insists the pair be left to him. Indifferent to the outburst, Itachi subjects Sasuke to torment. When Naruto rushes to his aid and Kisame gives chase, Jiraiya seals the surrounding ground inside the belly of a toad.
