### Search for Tsunade [ ]

After Naruto accidentally spilled some food on Gantetsu's jacket, Gantetsu was ready to force him to pay for a new jacket, which apparently was very expensive. Gantetsu, alongside Chōseki , then got beaten up by Jiraiya 's Rasengan . Jiraiya also took Gantetsu's money to pay for Kazabune 's destroyed cart.

## Trivia [ ]

- In the manga, Jiraiya steals his wallet while in the anime, he is given it out of respect.
- The Second Databook labels both Gantetsu and his partner, Chōseki, as Fallen Ninja ( 忍者崩れ , Ninja Kuzure ). Whether this is meant to be Missing-nin or not is unknown.
