"even I can see there's too much hate in this world"

yeah, buddy, have you tried doing anything about it by somewhat pushing back against Konoha's both incredibly murderous and fascinatingly incompentent leadership, especially considering you are LITERALLY part of the governing line

or have you tried NOT abandoning children completely reliant on you for their safety and training. have you considered NOT doing it TWICE with two separate Uzumaki children

considering how VERY explicit Orochimaru was announcing his motivations (desire to learn all there was of ninjutsu combined with the natural fear of death), it's actually a testament how Jiraiya managed to completely miss the point. I mean, I really expected nothing else of him, and Naruto's "gonna fix Sasuke" thing is also similar in that he doesn't understand half of the shit going on in his potential victim's of salvation head, so the apple really doesn't fall far from the rotting tree

and what the fuck do you mean Jiraiya by saying "oh Orochimaru went loony after his parents' death" brother Orochimaru was like SIX when that happened, he was in that age when you three had just become genins. is that a subtle reference to him always being slightly off his rocket

no actually you know what, this page is actually terrifying because it confirms that the people that spawned and raised Jiraiya the sex offender in this world are still out there and probably still living in Konoha. maybe Nagato is about to fix that, now that I think about it

huh

holy fucking shit we should have shot Jiraiya behind the Ichiraku Ramen dumpster a decade ago

holy fuck even in Naruto's most positive memories of Jiraiya montage he's still harassing women

Tsunade, you should really shut the blinds for this convo, Naruto is gonna be really upset when he hears Konoha's suffragette movement celebrating

(Naruto please pick better adult figures to mourn thank you)
