Jiraiya arrived soon afterwards, looking like he was deep in thought. His discussion with Kakashi had been one he'd rather avoid, but he valued the man's opinion. Kakashi had been right that Jiraiya would have to be more careful of how long he spent with Naruto during nightshift in the future.

What was also surprising is that Kakashi didn't know what his subordinates were up to. It hadn't occurred to Jiraiya at the time, as he had been concerned with other things, but it was plainly obvious now. Sakura, Naruto, and Sai weren't working together with their captain in the slightest.

But despite that, Jiraiya still smiled when he saw his roommate, even as he gave him a somewhat annoyed look, "I'm not sure if I should be mad or happy with you."
