As they agreed on, Jiraiya would return Naruto's training to Kakashi after the long period of time Jiraiya and Naruto spent together. Tsunade decides to test if Naruto and Sakura are worthy enough to recreate Team 7 and hunt Akatsuki. They would be doing the same test they did the first time they had become ninja, to take the bell from Kakashi. Akatsuki already planned their first step towards the ultimate dream.
