Side:
Faced with Pain's strange Summon, Jiraiys gets serious!

Jiraiya: We don't have time to watch this guy and learn how he fights!
We've gotta go at him full force from the start!

SFX: Bite

SFX: Smear

SFX: Rub

Jiraiya: I'm going into Hermit Mode!
Text: Jiraiya Attacks!

Ken: Y-
You don't mean-

Jiraiya: Oh, you'd better believe it.
I'm calling on the two Great Hermits!

I need you to buy me some time until I finish.
Ken: O-okay,
I know I'm clumsy, but I'll give it my best shot!

Title: The Two Great Hermits

SFX: Ssssssssss
SHLURP

Jiraiya: He disappeared?
Damn, that throws a wrench into things...where'd he find that thing, anyway...

If he's invisible, we'll need a barrier.
Ken: Yep, it'd be tough to fight him without one...

SFX: Shwip

CLACK

SFX: STOMP

SFX: Bzuooooo

Bzuooooooooo

Pain: He'll know my position immediately if that field touches me...

Dogs: GHRUOOOOOARGH

SFX: DASH

Jiraiya: He saw my barrier switched to an attach-type summon, eh?

Page 6:
SFX: CRAAAAAAAASH

Page 7:
Jiraiya: Whohoooooaao!
SFX: SMAAAAAASH

SFX: SMAAAAAASH

SFX: Grab

Jiraiya: Would you make the ride a little smoother next time?
Ken: Sorry, I'm kind of a klutz, ya know.

Jiraiya: They multiply with every time I hit one...
I really have no clue what to expect now...
Does that hound's power just increase on its own?

Page 8:
SFX: HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL

Jiraiya: Get ready, it's going to split again!!

Page 9:
Jiraiya: Overhead!

Ken: GHUAH!

Jiraiya: And when I try to attack their master, he vanishes!
He keeps using summoned animals to hide himself...

Gamaken-san!
Don't you find all this a little strange?

Ken: I-I'm kinda slow...I don't really know.

Jiraiya: As a kid, the eyes of the "Sage of the Six Paths" enabled him to master every technique I taught him.
But on top of that, they led him to do something wholly unprecedented in the shinobi world - Master the use of all six types of chakra nature manipulation completely by himself!

He's possessed the ability to use any type of ninjutsu he desires...
since he was 10 years old.

So why...

Page 12:
Jiraiya: Why is he only using the Summoning Technique?

Is he trying to say he doesn't need to fight directly?

Leave me, Gamaken-san!
I'll handle things from here!

Page 13:
Ken: I'm sorry!

Page 14:
Sage 1: Damn it, boy! Why do you only call on us when you're in the middle of some wild rampage?!
Sage 2: No wonder Bunta's always so mad atcha!

Page 15:
Papa Toad: Aww, don't say that, Ma.
You know Jiraiya-chan must have a good reason-
Mam toad: SHADDAP, PA!

Jiraiya: I'm sorry to call you so suddenly when it's been so long.
My most honored Boss. (H: He's talking to a female toad).

Mama toad: By the way, boy...
Didn't you say that you hate this form
'cuz you think the girls won't like it?

Jiraiya: I don't have a choice right now.
I'm up against the "Rin'negan", after all.

Mama toad: Oooh, the Six Ways' eyes?
I always figured there weren't no such thing!

Jiraiya: There is.
Please, lend me your powers.
