"Makes you look like a dumbass. Also: seals?"

"It does not! It makes me look heroic. And charming."

"Focus please? Seals?"

"Fine, fine. Show me these seals. You first, boy." He points at Naruto.

"'s on my stomach," he says, pulling up his shirt a bit and channeling chakra through the seal. "The seal in the middle's supposed to be there but the added seal messed up my chakra control enough I can't use ninjutsu. I think it's an odd-even conflict? But whatever it is, sensei didn't want to risk messing with it."

"Hmmmmmm," says Jiraiya. "Shirt off, all the way. Then hands up, like this. Banzai!"

"You're a weirdo."

But he does so.

Chakra flashes around the fingertips of Jiraiya's right hand, and he sticks it into Naruto's exposed stomach, right over the points of Orochimaru's seal. He twists to the left, and the seal unravels.

"There we go, good as new."

He puts his shirt back on, experimentally channels chakra to his feet. "Huh. Yeah, better. Thanks. Sasuke's seal now?"

"Yes, yes. Let's see it."

He pulls aside the collar of his shirt, showing the little marks. "Our sensei added a seal on top, to contain it."

"What's that, young Hatake's work? Surprisingly neat for the brat..."

"His, yes. Can you remove the curse seal?"

"Mmm. No. Or not without a lot more time to study this. Don't get your hopes up. Looks like that damned snake has been messing around with natural energy. Dangerous, very dangerous."

Fortunately, the remove curse spell builds on basic healing and restoration spells, so he should be able to manage it himself given sufficient time and disregard for basic health and safety...

"What is it doing?"

"...Nothing we should talk about out here. Let's go somewhere we can take a closer look at that. Come on, kids."

He glances at Naruto, then nods and follows.

Jiraiya leads them back to the hospital, around the back entrance. Jiraiya has a brief conversation with the guard manning the desk back there, that ends with him saying to 'tell the old man I'm going to unravel the curse seal a little, and if he wants to watch, he'd better hurry'. The guard moves into sending-messages mode as Jiraiya takes them downstairs to the secure rooms.

That sounds fun.

Sasuke follows.

Naruto pesters Jiraiya with questions about the seal, and how he'll be unraveling it, and what precautions is he taking...

Jiraiya answers Naruto's questions indulgently, like an uncle with a favored nephew. The room Jiraiya picks is equipped with an instrument that looks like a cross between an orrery and a microscope, and has a wall of glass windows for observation. Tight lines of warding seals cover the outside seams on the wall. Jiraiya and Sasuke will be the only ones going in, Naruto will have to wait outside, with the Hokage, who has shown up with a handful of ANBU bodyguards.

He'll just have to pay attention and take notes then...

He smiles a bit tightly at the old man, but is mostly anxiously focused on his friend.

Sugira's going along, though his gaze is sharp and attentive. (He's saving his questions for when Jiraiya is likely to know more.)

Jiraiya positions the scope above Sugira's seal, warns him to stay very still, and channels some chakra into the instrument. The lenses begin glowing with light, and shadows of the seal are cast along the walls and floor. He fine-tunes things some, and the three swirls of the seal expand and resolve into densely packed tiny writings. Jiraiya begins examining these.

He stays exceptionally still.

Unfortunately this isn't something he'll be at a good angle to examine everything himself... Hopefully Jiraiya is taking good notes.
