A growing unease settled upon Jiraiya as he considered Naruto and Sakura's safety. He soon asked Tsunade to assign them a mission with him. He overheard Naruto telling Sakura that he wouldn’t try to dissuade her from seeking out Sasuke, but that he would accompany her. He outlined the details of their assignment. Together, they set off for Rice Country, tasked with locating the Hidden Sound Village and, if possible, Sasuke himself.
