Ch 32

Kurama's POV
J "Hey kid, I'm here, you alright?"

KN "Hm? Yeah just finished up"

J "I- oh. Oh you really beat him up..."

O "...Jiraiya?.... what the fuck."

J "Well he's alive... that's something."

KN "Did you handle those 4?"

J "Yeah, Kakashi's just cleaning up right now, we'll meet him outside."

KN "Okay good. I want your opinion on this; should we take care of him now, or take him back to the village with us?"

J "If we took care of him now, we would have the least chance of something going wrong as there wouldn't be time for him to try something. If we took him out, but brought his body with him, it'd give the village more incentive to trust you by bringing the body of their most wanted criminal back, but we'd risk someone cutting us off and getting him from us, giving them the possibility of learning any secrets he has. The last option, bringing him back alive, would be the most beneficial to the village, we'd be able to learn a lot, however a few things could go wrong; there's a chance Orochimaru could escape, and we'd have to track him down again while he has some knowledge about you, there's the clean up we'd have to do to prove you aren't trying to get him into the village to help him, and there's a chance he could get out while in the village."

KN "Yeah, that all makes sense to me, so what do you want to do then?"

J "I think, it's best to take him out now, and just bring back anything we can from this lab. We can find more too when we go to take down any of his other labs."

KN "Alright, works for me. So uh... how do we do this?"

J "What do you mean?"

KN "Well, I don't really kill people.... nothing but Zetsus, but I don't think they really count..."

J "Ah.... okay kid, you go find anything we should bring back, start destroying the rest, and I'll meet you outside. He's my responsibility."

KN "Are you sure? He's your teammate... I've had to face something similar... I get it if you can't..."

J "No, it's because he's my old teammate that I have to do this. Just go ahead and get outta here, you've been through enough recently as is, I'm not gonna make you watch me do this."

KN "I- thanks Pervy Sage. See you outside."

J "Yeah, see you."
