While you're searching village by village, you find Jiraiya had spent the morning in a tavern, telling wild stories to a group of young ladies. You've heard of the Legendary Sannin many times before, but for some reason the man himself always seems to evade you until now.

As he drunkenly stumbles out, he trips on a rock and crashes into a pile of garbage in the middle of the street.

"Hey kid, can you give a helpless old man a hand?"

Was this man really the one capable of training you?
