Chapter 337: Deliberate Misunderstanding
Jiraiya reached Iwagakure in disguise. Surprisingly, he rendezvoused with Sakumo and his team there.
"Why are you here?" Jiraiya confusedly asked. Iwa was enemy territory, not many ninjas are sent to missions here because of it.
"We couldn't complete our mission in Takigakure. The man you are after was faster than us and somehow took away the tailed beast. We are after him, Jiraiya-sama." Sakumo told him.
Jiraiya was surprised by the news. If the man could control a tailed beast then he was surely a huge danger to not just Konoha but the whole world.
"Okay, let's work together. If he has a tailed beast with him then fighting him may not be very easy. I can maybe capture the tailed beast for a while but I will be open for attacks at that time." Jiraiya told him.
"But we have no idea where he is," Sakumo said.
"Hmm, where can a man with a tailed beast hide?" Jiraiya thought.
*TUNG TUNG TUNG*
Loud enemy attack bells started sounding throughout the village. Shinobis started running around and people ran into their homes.
