Naruto 144

As Jiraiya and Naruto set off, Jiraiya comments that Naruto reminds him of Yondaime Hokage. On a perch above them, the Akatsuki members discuss a strategy for getting Naruto and Jiraiya separated. Sasuke learns that Itachi returned and is chasing Naruto, deciding to follow him. In another town, Jiraiya flirts with a woman and leaves Naruto to practice his training. In a hotel, Naruto answers the door, ready to scold Jiraiya for not training him... and looks up into the eyes of Itachi.
