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). Whether this is meant to be Missing-nin or not is unknown.
