Synopsis of Last Episode
With his sensei taken out by an old man, Naruto confesses him to train him. The old man said no and introduced himself as Jiraiya. This is the episode when Naruto calls him "pervy sage". After some chasing and convincing of the Sexy Jutsu, Jiraiya trains him. He then uses the Five Prong Seal Release, Naruto can then have his chakra mix easily with the demon fox (and easily walks on water). Jiraiya then tells Naruto that he has two types of chakra and concluded the day. Ebisu was then with him that he was the only who could take care of Orochimaru. The last episode was: Long Time No See: Jiraiya Returns!.

Plot
The episode starts off on the top roof of the Hokage Monument, when Ebisu tells Jiraiya to take care of Naruto; he then leaves to go down. The scene changes into a building where the roof has two huge statue fishes. Gaara was sitting on the tail of the fish; he was suddenly alarmed by Dosu who tells him that he doesn’t get any sleep, but then said that he can fight him in this location, making him one step closer to fighting Sasuke. Gaara then said that it was the full moon, having “it’s” blood stirred up. Gaara suddenly turns into an enormous monster, and swipes at Dosu, killing him. Gaara was then breathing and putting his fingers on his head, like he has a headache. Out in the distance, Baki and Kabuto witnessed the attack. Kabuto was then shocked of how Gaara easily killed Dosu. Baki and Kabuto then discuss the plans to attack the Leaf Village. Hayate Gekko was spying behind the wall, of where Baki and Kabuto were meeting. After Kabuto gives some kind of scroll to Baki, he then says that he’ll take care of the spy. Hayate Gekko immediately moved as Baki said that he’ll take care of him. Knowing that he must pass on the information to the Hokage, he moves as fast as he could. He then stops on the roof of a building as Baki blocks him. Having no choice but to fight, Hayate Gekko uses his Leaf Village Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon; he hits Baki in the shoulder but was suddenly blocked by the vest. For some apparent reason, he couldn’t move his sword. Baki then activates a move with some gusty move, Hayate then shouts.

Scene immediately changes to the area where Jiraiya and Naruto were for the walking on water training. It shows three girls playing on the water in their bikinis. Behind a bush, Jiraiya quietly spies on them and does a perverted laugh. Naruto then uses his Sexy Jutsu to convince Jiraiya to divert his attention to Naruto. He then sees the girls leave and trains Naruto. Jiraiya then said to try to get out that red chakra. Naruto attempts, but only his original blue chakra comes out. Naruto then asks of why he needs to use that chakra, Jiraiya only answers by saying that using this red chakra can make Naruto more powerful and is necessary for him to use this move that Jiraiya is going to teach him. Jiraiya finally reveals that he was going to teach him the Summoning Jutsu. Knowing that it was awesome, Naruto wanted to give it out a try, but Jiraiya then said to use his normal chakra first so that he could release his red chakra.

Naruto then had an idea of how to do it. He uses Shadow Clone Jutsu and makes about 30 clones. He then says that there will be a contest of which “me” will be the best. Jiraiya then rests as he watches the Narutos fight, saying that it’ll take a while. After some minutes, the clones went down to 4, barren and bruised. After a fight, the real Naruto won. He suddenly fainted after he told Jiraiya that he was done.

Naruto immediately wakes up from a splash of water, and Jiraiya then says that his normal chakra is completely depleted and that he can teach him the Summoning Jutsu. Jiraiya then shows a demonstration, putting blood to his left hand, do the necessary hand seals, puts his left palm on the floor, and a huge toad comes out. The toad then gives him a giant scroll, Naruto then writes his name in blood and pressed his fingerprints on his name below, so that he could summon a toad every time he uses the Summoning Jutsu. Naruto then tries it out, and does, for the first time in his life, the Summoning Jutsu. To his surprise, he summoned a tadpole. Jiraiya then said that Naruto has no particular talent.

Conclusion
The scene changes to where Hayate was battling. He was all covered in blood and was murdered. Six ANBU Blackops were circling around the corpse, shocked to see what happened. The long-purpled hair Anbu female was then muttering her name in a sad way, realizing that her lover was killed.
