Jiraiya could see the gears turning in Sasuke's head. Whatever he had to tell him, it was more than just something simple. He was trying so hard to be emotionless, even moreso than usual. Sasuke wasn't the type to waste energy, and he wasn't the type to over think something. From the impression he was getting, this conversation could make or break everything. The Uchiha could either end up as an ally or an enemy.

No pressure, really. Not that Jiraiya wasn't confident in himself--he was--but he knew that Naruto would be devastated if he messed this up and made Sasuke their enemy. Not to mention the damage it would cause to Sasuke himself. The kid could go either way...

When Sasuke asked for his silence, Jiraiya nodded. "You have my word."
