"Cunning little brat, let me, this messenger of Mount Myōboku, teach you a lesson—"
Confidently leaving Kakashi to the toad he had summoned, Jiraiya cracked his knuckles, preparing to personally discipline Feng Bai for his underhanded tactics.
"Hm?"
Just as he approached Feng Bai at lightning speed with his hand extended, Jiraiya suddenly stopped his movement, frowning as he looked toward a distant thicket.
Someone was watching him?
Feng Bai, feeling the fierce wind at his back, had already resigned himself to his fate. He'd even stopped running to let Jiraiya catch him—after all, Jiraiya was one of the legendary Sannin and wouldn't do anything truly malicious to kids like them. Besides, Jiraiya was the one caught peeping first, so Feng Bai was in the right.
But after waiting for ages with no action from Jiraiya, Feng Bai turned around to see Jiraiya's hand frozen in midair, his gaze directed elsewhere.
[This chakra signature... is it ANBU? I see, someone assigned to protect this child—]
Just as Jiraiya was pondering the identity of that chakra signature, something completely unexpected happened.
"Dynamic Entry!"
A green figure burst explosively from the bushes, charging toward Jiraiya with unstoppable momentum.
"What?!"
Jiraiya, with all his attention focused in the other direction, had no time to defend and took a kick straight to the face.
"How dare you attack my friend—feel the burning fury of youth!" Flashing a confident, brilliant smile, Might Guy sent Jiraiya flying and, upon landing, struck his classic pose with a thumbs-up and gleaming white teeth.
"My friend Feng Bai, I've come to save you! The Military Police Force will arrive shortly—leave this scene to me!"
Shielding Feng Bai behind him, Might Guy assumed a defensive stance, guarding against Jiraiya's counterattack.
"Uh, well, how should I put this..." Looking at Jiraiya with blood streaming from his nose, Feng Bai couldn't help but wonder—was getting kicked by Guy Jiraiya's destiny? Come to think of it, everyone who'd been kicked by Guy seemed to never make it to the finale...
"Damn... damn it..."
Feeling warm blood flowing from his nostrils, Jiraiya thought today was truly a terrible day.
His research was interrupted, he'd been inexplicably beaten up by a bunch of kids—he was one of the legendary Sannin, the Sannin!
Didn't he deserve any respect?!
But he couldn't actually do anything to these children. Gritting his teeth, his nosebleed only got worse.
"Hoh, I can't believe Guy actually landed a hit."
On the other side, Kakashi strolled over with his hands in his pockets.
"Hm? Strange, Kakashi, weren't you wrapped up by the toad?" Feng Bai looked Kakashi up and down curiously.
"Oh, that? I used the Body Replacement Technique to escape."
Pointing at the wooden log behind him, Kakashi's tone was casual.
In the end, the only ones who suffered real damage were Obito and Jiraiya...
Looking at Obito, who was seeing stars and lying on the ground unable to get up for a while, Feng Bai helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Hmph, brats, just you wait!" Feeling that staying here any longer would definitely drive him mad, Jiraiya finally decided to make a run for it. But before he could act after delivering his threat, several people pinned him down, rendering him immobile.
"Who dares cause trouble in Konoha?"
Military Police Force members with the fan crest on their uniforms suddenly appeared, surrounding Jiraiya. Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Inabi personally stepped in to restrain Jiraiya.
They had arrived after receiving Might Guy's alert. Upon reaching the scene, they saw a white-haired adult making threatening remarks toward a group of "helpless" children.
With their sense of justice blazing, they immediately identified Jiraiya as the culprit and decisively acted, subduing him while he was caught off guard.
"Wait, Guy, how did you know we were in danger?" Watching one of the Sannin get pinned down by the Military Police Force, Feng Bai stared in amazement at Guy, who still maintained his confident smile.
"When you guys were climbing the mountain, I was following behind you. I was just about to greet you when I saw that guy suddenly charge forward, so I hurried down the mountain to find help, then ran back up at top speed."
Might Guy described his actions in a casual tone that shocked everyone.
From witnessing Feng Bai and the others encounter Jiraiya, to Jiraiya gaining the advantage and preparing to subdue them, Might Guy had actually made a complete round trip?
"You..."
Even Kakashi, with his usual composure, was stunned by Might Guy's incredible stamina.
"Hm? You... you look somewhat familiar."
On Yashiro's side, looking at the still-struggling Jiraiya, he was about to increase his grip when he noticed the man's face looked vaguely familiar...
"Uh, not familiar, not familiar at all! This is my first time here!"
Seeing his identity about to be exposed, Jiraiya quickly pitched his voice higher, trying to mislead them.
"Hiss, I also think he looks familiar. Wait, are you Jiraiya?" Uchiha Inabi, who had once participated in the Hidden Rain Village battle as a genin, carefully examined Jiraiya and recognized his identity.
"Jiraiya? Indeed, you are Lord Jiraiya!" With Inabi's reminder, Yashiro also showed a look of realization.
Although they recognized his identity, their restraint didn't loosen—instead, they controlled him even more tightly.
This was one of the Sannin—if they relaxed even slightly, he could escape immediately.
No, even with such vigilance, they still felt he could break free at any moment. This was the intimidation that came with the Sannin reputation.
"It's all... all a misunderstanding!" Jiraiya forced an ingratiating smile. Being caught by the Military Police Force and then escaping wasn't a trivial matter, so despite being able to easily break free from their control, Jiraiya chose to explain.
"Yashiro-uncle? You're here! He's the peeping tom!" Jiraiya's explanation was interrupted by Obito. Seeing Jiraiya firmly "suppressed" by the Military Police Force, Obito, who had just regained consciousness, ignored his pain and was the first to point out Jiraiya.
"Peeping tom? Is this true, Kakashi, and Feng Bai..." Yashiro, who had heard about Feng Bai's identity from Fugaku, turned his gaze to Feng Bai, seeking their opinion.
"Uh, it's true." Since they were asking so directly, what else could Feng Bai say? Naturally, all evil must be brought to justice!
With Kakashi's nod and Feng Bai and Obito's personal testimony, the evidence was conclusive. The upright Military Police Force escorted the ashen-faced Jiraiya toward their headquarters.
