The plot is trying not to implode from the collision of the two of them

We wont let it escape.
 
Can we buy a funjutsu charm on the way there to really knock his socks off?

[X] Follow after him.

Toad Sage knows a few interesting things. And as a Solar Tenten has a mandate to horde narrative potential.
 
Eh, we can try and find a melee tutor later. Jiraiya is gonna be a lot harder to track down, and he's a real good connection to make.
Bird in the hand worth two in the bush, and all that.
Not convinced.
Jiraiya is a good connection to make, but he isn't useful to us in the two or so weeks before Orochimaru's House Party.
And given that we know Pervy Sage exists, and we are at least on speaking terms with Ramen Boy, future encounters are possible.

Bird in the hand only applies if we weren't going to meet someone else; word of GM is that someone else has been rolled here.
I mean, at best, I can see Tenten inquiring about Tsunade, not just because her idol, but because of Lee.
And it's not entirely a waste to meet Jiraiya; dude is a ninjutsu specialist after all, which might come in useful in the future.

Still, I'm not convinced I want to be drawn into the narrative focus around Ramen Boy and his entourage ; I was enjoying the storytelling focused around the lesser known characters.

EDIT
Importantly: two weeks before the invasion.
Training tutors are important now, not for the future, unless you are comfortable going into the Invasion with 25% less combat charms.

EDIT2
Eh, vote what you want to see.
