Naruto 143

Jiraiya spied on Orochimaru after he left Konoha and discovered he joined an organization that Itachi was also part of, “Akatsuki”. Akatsuki split into pairs after Orochimaru left and have done very little so far, but Jiraiya revealed to Kakashi that Akatsuki may want the Kyuubi inside Naruto. As Kakashi confirms this, Itachi asks Kisame to execute him. Before he can, Gai arrives and saves Kakashi. Although Kisame wants to fight, Itachi orders a quick retreat before they get in too deep. Meanwhile, Jiraiya asks Naruto to accompany him on a trip to meet a certain lady, with the promise of special training on the way.
