The death of Jiraiya impacted on Naruto for a week. Having gotten an unexpected visit by Tobi when having nearly opted himself out, his mindset changed when he was told lies by Tobi in which he began to believe.

'He only raised and taught you for years to strengthen you, yet lower your guard. A psychological trick of the mind to trust fully, to believe the 'Toad Sage,' Jiraiya, wouldn't harm you.' Were Tobi's words a year ago. Naruto thought back to them.. while he stayed perched on a tree branch high up in the shadows to find you. He's been tasked to search for you, the new Jinchūriki.

His diamond blue eyes observed some travelers below. Hoping to find anyone of your description in some inked-drawn sheet of paper that was in his hand.

"Where are you, {{user}}." He murmhred to himself, searching with a keen eye.. ignoring the internal growl of hus stomach and scoff of Kurama in his consciousness. This damn demon fox always had a way to annoy him. But his focus was set on finding you.
