When the Konoha Police Force moved in to arrest him, Jiraiya naturally refused to be captured.

He swiftly dodged one policeman's attack and countered another, breaking free from the encirclement with ease.

"Uchiha Kanzou, I don't have time to get tangled up with you right now. I'm on an important mission. When I return, I'll report to the Konoha Police Force myself, alright?" he called out.

"I think you're just trying to flee in fear of facing the crimes you have committed," Kanzou replied coldly. "I advise you not to resist—otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

The aura around Kanzou grew increasingly menacing, the weight of his threat settling heavily over the area. Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a twinge of hesitation.

What made matters worse was that standing only a step beside Kanzou, looking at him with scorn and disgust, was Uchiha Mikoto. Hiruzen had warned him that she, too, had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, making her threat no less than Kanzou's

"…Fine. I'll go with you," Jiraiya muttered, abandoning any thought of resisting Kanzou for now.

Even the Hokage had fallen into Kanzou's hands, and Jiraiya knew he didn't stand a chance against him. "Let me make it clear—if you don't have any evidence, then you'd better let me go."

"Let's go," Kanzou said flatly.

"Don't touch me, I'll walk there myself," Jiraiya added quickly, seeing the Konoha Police Force begin to move in.

They were out in public, and he didn't want to be manhandled on the street.

The Policemen ignored Jiraiya's words and looked to Kanzou for instruction.

"Show some respect—he's one of the Legendary Sannin. Let him walk on his own," someone suggested.

But Kanzou gave no response. He had already made up his mind—Jiraiya was to be brought in.

Whether he walked or was dragged didn't matter.

Once he entered the Konoha Police Force's prison, things wouldn't be so simple anymore.

Jiraiya's attempt to find Tsunade and treat Sarutobi Hiruzen had to be stopped—for now, Kanzou couldn't allow him to succeed.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen really raised his disciples well… one is a pervert, the second is a drunk gambler, and the last one is a sick kidnapper," Kanzou remarked with a smirk.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jiraiya asked, irritated by the jab.

"Hey, isn't that the Sannin Jiraiya? Why's he being taken in?"

"Who doesn't the Konoha Police Forces arrest these days? Even the Toad Sannin is going to be arrested? Is there anyone safe from them?"

"They still call it the Konoha Police Force? Might as well rename it the Uchiha Police Force. That whole department does nothing but create trouble with everyone, only for the Uchiha Clan to get the benefits… Where are they serving Konoha? They are serving the Uchiha!"

"Shhh! Keep your voice down! Say that too loud and the Uchiha Police Force will haul you in next."

As they walked, passing ninjas and villagers began whispering among themselves. The pointing and murmurs made Jiraiya increasingly uncomfortable—he just wanted to get to the police station and get it over with.

After arriving at the Konoha Police Force headquarters, Kanzou used a Fuinjutsu to seal Jiraiya's chakra.

"What's the meaning of this?" Jiraiya's expression darkened.

With his chakra sealed, he had lost at least 80% of his combat ability.

"It's to prevent you, an old sleazy pervert, from escaping," Kanzou replied coolly. "After all, you're one of the legendary Sannin—a dangerous criminal like you can't be taken lightly."

"Fine, then show me the evidence you mentioned. If you can't, I'm not admitting to anything," Jiraiya said firmly.

"Bring the evidence," Kanzou ordered Tsubaki.

Tsubaki took out several photographs from a drawer and handed them over while looking at Jiraiya with pure contempt, as if looking at a piece of trash. Even as a Uchiha, Tsubaki used to have some degree of respect and admiration for Jiraiya, but all of that disappeared now that she has learned of his perverted activities.

Receiving the photos, Kanzou tossed them on the table for Jiraiya to see.

"This?!" Jiraiya was takenaback to see himself in all of the photos, and in each of them, he was peeping at a woman's bathhouse.

"Well? Still want to deny it?" Kanzou asked, eyes mocking.

"Ahem, this isn't some serious crime," Jiraiya muttered, blushing. "Can you just let me go for now? I really do have an important mission to complete."

The evidence was undeniable, and even if he wanted to argue, he couldn't.

'When was I ever photographed? And how did I not notice someone tailing me?' he couldn't help but think to himself.

"How about this—I'll take the punishment after I finish the mission?" Jiraiya offered, trying to negotiate.

Kanzou gave a cold smile. "What if you die on your mission? Will I be searching for your corpse to punish?"

Turning to Souta, Kanzou instructed, "Take him on a public parade first. After that, lock him up in prison. No visitors allowed without my permission."

Jiraiya's expression twisted in shock. "Uchiha Kanzou, you are going too far!"

Parading him through the streets—did Kanzou want to completely ruin his reputation?

"Mikoto, bring me a wooden sign to hang around his neck," Kanzou said, ignoring Jiraiya's angry glare.

Without a word, Mikoto fetched a wooden plaque and handed it over. Kanzou then picked up a brush and wrote in bold, unmistakable characters:

[Old Pervert Jiraiya]

[Crime: Peeping at Bathing Women at the Bathhouse]

Once he finished, Kanzou hung the sign around Jiraiya's neck.

"Alright, take him out for a public parade," Kanzou ordered with a sneer.

"Uchiha Kanzou, you bastard! Just wait. Once I'm out of here, I'll make sure you pay for this!" Jiraiya roared in fury.

If they really dragged him through the streets like this, his reputation would be utterly destroyed. From now on, whenever someone mentioned the name Jiraiya, the word pervert would follow.

"You dare to shout in front of me? Sounds like you haven't been taught a proper lesson," Kanzou said with a cold smile as he looked at Jiraiya.

He waved his hand slightly, and Souta immediately understood the signal. Without hesitation, he moved in and began beating Jiraiya.

Konoha Sannin or not, with Kanzou backing him, Souta felt no fear.

He pinned Jiraiya down and gave him a brutal beating, leaving Jiraiya's face bruised and swollen like a real toad.

'This bastard actually dared to have me beaten...' Jiraiya thought bitterly.

But then again, if Kanzou had the audacity to attack the Hokage, why wouldn't he dare attack him?

With his chakra sealed and his body bound in unbreakable steel chains, Jiraiya couldn't resist—he could only watch as Souta continued the assault.

Once satisfied, Souta signalled a few subordinates, and together they dragged Jiraiya out for the public parade.

…

Jiraiya was dragged through the streets, attracting a great deal of attention. As people noticed the sign around his neck listing his crime, many in Konoha—especially the women—grew furious.

"Shameless old pervert! Beat him!"

"I can't believe one of the legendary Sannin is this disgusting—ugh, hit him harder!"

"I've heard rumours for years that Jiraiya was an old pervert, but to actually peep at the women's bathhouse? That's it—let's teach him a lesson, sisters!"

The women's anger turned physical.

With Jiraiya still bound and unable to move, they scratched and slapped his face, leaving him battered and bruised.

And it wasn't just the women—some of the men joined in too.

"This bastard was peeping on the women's bathhouse—what if it was my wife or my daughter he saw?! My daughter is not even six years old, you know… You pervert, Lolicon!" one man yelled.

Just the thought made their blood boil, and soon they, too, were in the mob, striking Jiraiya without holding back.

Rotten vegetable leaves and eggs were hurled at Jiraiya one after another, splattering across his body.

"Tsk. What a shame—I didn't even gain any evil points," Kanzou muttered with mild disappointment. "But then again, Jiraiya really is guilty. I didn't have to frame him this time."

He watched Jiraiya's pitiful state with amusement.

The accusations were legitimate—there was no need for any dirty tricks.

Sha!

Suddenly, a Kunai was thrown at Jiraiya…

"Ahhh! Who threw that kunai?!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted, panic in his voice. A kunai had landed dangerously close to a vital spot.

Rotten food was humiliating, but at least it wasn't lethal. A kunai, though? That was a different story.

In his bound state, if someone really intended to kill him, Jiraiya wouldn't stand a chance.

"I've always hated perverts like him," Mikoto said coldly, hurling another kunai with precision.

The second blade sliced into Jiraiya's thigh; it was very close to his little brother, and he howled in pain once more.

While hurling a kunai at Jiraiya, Mikoto turned to Kanzou and said softly, "Kan-sama… I… I've never set foot in the Konoha bathhouse… so… aside from you, no one has ever seen me… please, believe me..."

"Of course, I believe you," Kanzou replied, gently patting her head.
