It had been about a week since they had gone to the village closest to the Hidden Stone Village and nothing had happened. Teuchi a.s.sumed that if no-one had been sent after them, then the village was giving them leeway. He planned to enjoy this time and relax, but his friends seemed to have other plans.

He noticed that Duy and Fugaku had gotten up again and charged once more towards Jiro in an effort to train their Taijutsu. Duy had charged straight forward to Jiro and threw a flurry pf punches that were batted away. Fugaku had been lurking away in an attempt to stay out of Jiro's field of vision, but Jiro took the fight over to him after flipping away from Duy.

A flip later, Jiro was too close to Fugaku for his comfort. Instead of a punch like he was expecting, Fugaku got his legs kicked out from under him resulting in him falling right onto his back. A quick punch to the stomach left Fugaku groaning while desperating trying to fill his lungs up with air. Duy dashed over and launched a sidekick towards Jiro while he was in the air.

Jiro reached out his hands to grab Duy's leg, but Duy flipped in midair to deliver a roundhouse kick instead. Jiro lifted up one hand to grab Duy's leg and hooked the other leg between his armpit and arm. Jiro threw Duy towards a tree once more and ended their group Taijutsu session.

Sarutobi put the file labeled Jiro Uchiha away before thinking once more. It had been a week since the escape of his student and his friends. Sarutobi had a very busy day trying to keep that information secret as it might compromise the trust people held in the village. Only a couple select s.h.i.+n.o.bi as well as the parents of said escapees were aware.

Jiraiya opened a letter that had come from his toad that was relaying messages between him and Tsunade. His face formed a smile before he put the letter into his jacket pocket. He opened the door of the room he was in to reveal that he was living inside a brothel. The hostesses stopped to greet him before they moved on.

Jiraiay opened the door of another room to reveal Orochimaru working on some kind of experiment. He could spot a couple of snakes inside the room, but he didn't mind.

"Guess what Orochi?"

Orochimaru didn't appreciate the interruption of his precious research time and he didn't bother to answer back. Jiraiya threw the letter that was in his pocket towards Orochimaru. It cut throw the air easily, but Orochimaru caught it with ease. Grumbling something about toads, the snake summoner opened the letter and read the contents.

"Should I be worried?"

"Why would you be worried about Jiro?"

"No! You idiot. I mean us. Should we be worried that Jiro is out free."

Jiraiya shook his head, clearly looking down on Orochimaru.

"Why would you be worried about us now that Jiro is free?"

The snake summoner's face turned dumbfounded before a barrage of insults and reasons why they should be worried about Jiro began to be hurled at Jiraiya. As the insults and reasons piled up, Jiraiya's smile slowly turned into a frown.

"Do you think we should move?"

Jiraiya's stupid question caused Orochimaru to finally explode.

"We spent at least a month trying to turn this brothel into a spying place like you wanted. We are very close to establis.h.i.+ng what YOU wanted and now you're just giving up? h.e.l.l no. Remember when funds were running low and you forced me to dress up as one of the courtesans. I had to use Genjutsu to get those filthy dudes to believe that "Orochizue" was some super s.e.xy snake girl. I am not giving up."

A perverted grin stretched across Jiraiya's face. However, Jiraiya's eyes were filled with a s.a.d.i.s.tic spirit that intended to make Orochimaru as angry as possible.

"You looked pretty s.e.xy as Orochizue."

Jiraiya quickly closed the door before a swarm of snake could bite him, but he noticed that a couple of snakes were starting to crawl from under the door. Deciding that he could p.i.s.s off Orochimaru more, he shouted.

"I also shared photos of Orochizue with Tsunade. She also said that Orochizue looked cute, especially when angry."

When Jiraiya heard the angry scream from the other side of the door, his face dropped. Quickly rolling to the side, he avoided being launched into the air as the door got smashed into pieces, courtesy of a rather large snake crawling through the doorway. Jiraiya quickly threw himself out using a window. As Orochimaru chased Jiraiya on his snake, the maids at the brothel began to clean up the mess that was formerly a door.
