"Jiraiya, please don't let anything happen to you," Tsunade said worriedly, looking at Jiraiya who was at a disadvantage on the screen.

"To actually immobilize Gamaken, it seems there's no chance to summon the two great sages. We have no choice but to surrender." With Gamaken rendered powerless, Jiraiya had no choice but to say this.

[Orochimaru: Surrender? This isn't like Jiraiya.]

[Jiraiya: Yo-shi, as expected of my best friend.]

[Tsunade: Please, Jiraiya, knowing your personality, I knew you would never surrender.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Yeah, Jiraiya. If you have any other methods, tell everyone. Don't make them worry.]

Jiraiya's ability to rank among the Kage Level ninjas speaks volumes about his skill, whether it's his Summoning Technique, Sage Mode, or Jiraiya unique Toad Ninjutsu.

Furthermore, with Jiraiya and unusual Ninjutsu, Shinobi who had never fought him before would definitely be caught off guard and attacked immediately.

"I never imagined it would split into so many parts, but..."

"This level of attack wouldn't even be enough to give the giant Toad of Mount Myōboku a run for its money." Clearly Jiraiya had found the summoned beast's weakness.

Jiraiya only skilled at summoning battle-type summons Gamaken, but he is also quite adept at other sealing-type summons.

[The reason he led them here was simply because he thought it was a good place to capture them all. Jiraiya his Summoning Technique again, and the scene instantly changed from an alley to a wall of slimy flesh. All the summoning dogs were instantly trapped inside the flesh.]

As longtime teammates, Tsunade and Orochimaru immediately knew how Jiraiya would deal with these summoning beasts.

The others looked completely bewildered. What had happened? How could all the summoned beasts have been wiped out in the blink of an eye, and why hadn't they split up again?

At this moment Jiraiya stepped forward to explain.

Jiraiya: I see. He summoned the Rock Lodging Toad using the Summoning Technique. The Rock Lodging Toad is the Toad with the largest stomach in Mount Myōboku, so it would be a piece of cake for it to eat these summoning dogs.

[Obito: Lord Jiraiya, my admiration for you is absolute. Please, you absolutely must teach me this move.]

[Yahiko: Yeah, Jiraiya- sensei, you never taught us this move.]

[Jiraiya: Haha, those who haven't signed Summoning Contract with Mount Myōboku definitely can't use it, but we'll see how you perform later.]

At that moment, Nagato lost sight of Jiraiya's location and slowly emerged from his hiding place. How could Nagato Jiraiya, who was just there a moment ago, have vanished in an instant, along with his summoning dog?

However, Nagato made a serious mistake: while searching for Jiraiya, he emerged from his invisibility state, which allowed Jiraiya to instantly pinpoint Nagato's location.

Suddenly a voice came from behind Nagato; Jiraiya's booming voice appeared behind the Animal Path.

Nagato looked back and saw Jiraiya had just disappeared, and the Toad standing behind the Animal Path.

"Nagato, you're still too green. I actually caught you distracted."

Jiraiya's decision to remain inside the stomach of the Rock Lodging Toad was a prelude to Nagato's revelation, allowing Nagato to be revealed so that Nagato's location could be pinpointed. Only by defeating Nagato could Pain be truly defeated.

The chameleon summon didn't want to get entangled with Jiraiya any longer, but Gamaken was even faster, thrusting his steel fork towards the chameleon.

"Is this also Shadow Clone?" Jiraiya noticed that Gamaken's attack had hit the clone.

"That's right, and that's not all; there's also Summoning Technique." Nagato hadn't finished speaking when he summoned another beast.

Teacher, don't think your Toad -Summoning Technique are better than mine. When it comes to Summoning Technique, I'm no worse than you.

"Damn it! I've been tricked!" Jiraiya never expected his apprentice to be so cunning, actually using Shadow Clones to toy with him.

"In that case, we have no choice but to give up Sage Mode!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to give up Sage Mode, Gamaken used all his strength to block the impact for Jiraiya.

"Gamaken!" Before Jiraiya check the wound, the summoning bird in the sky kept releasing eggs to the ground, each egg being a full meter thick.

[Obito: Holy crap, why is that giant bird laying eggs in mid-air? What's going on?]

[Kakashi: I don't know, but that kind of thing is definitely not as simple as a bird's egg.]

[Mei Terumi: Strange and unusual Summoning Techniques, and she's kind of handsome too. Interested in adding me as a friend? QAQ.]

[Konan: We Nagato aren't interested. If you want a handsome guy, go find someone else.]

[Mei Terumi: Is that so? That's such a shame.]

At this time Mei Terumi was young, but her "assets" that she was so proud of were not insignificant. Although she could not compare to Tsunade's level, she was still one of the top in the Shinobi World.

However, Mei Terumi was just talking; she had never even been in a relationship yet, so she could only tease others verbally. If it came down to real combat, she would probably be the first to surrender.

At this moment, Konan looked at her own shortcomings and wondered when she could reach the level of Lady Tsunade, or even half of it.

At this moment, the bird eggs in the picture suddenly showed something unusual.

The inside of the bird's egg gradually began to glow, and the light grew brighter and brighter.

"What is this?" Jiraiya understand why his apprentice was attacking him with bird eggs, but he soon found out.

"Bang, bang, bang." Countless bird eggs exploded behind Jiraiya.

It was completely unreasonable; they unleashed a barrage of firepower, forcing Jiraiya to constantly dodge. At this moment Jiraiya dared not separate his hands, because if he did, he would be unable to summon the Toad Sage and thus unable to enter Sage Mode.

Left with no other choice, Jiraiya looked around for a place to hide. Suddenly, he noticed a pipe in front of him Jiraiya, without thinking, crawled inside.

"Very good!"

The spirit bird looked around and realized it couldn't fit into such a narrow pipe; it could only block Jiraiya at the end.

But now the time has come, and the relationship between hunter and prey should be reversed.

Your work is finished.

With a "bang," Jiraiya disappeared.

"Shadow Clones? When?" Nagato hadn't expected to be fooled by Shadow Clones as well.

The dirtiest one to play is Uchiha Itachi. You fight him for ages only to find out it's all Genjutsu. You can't even describe how disgusting that is.

Our Deidara understands this all too well. You could have easily defeated me, but you had to humiliate me like this. Couldn't you have just been decisive? You made me think I could do it, only to find out later...

"Damn, it was just Genjutsu."

[It turns out that Jiraiya just secretly used the Shadow Clone Technique while Nagato wasn't paying attention.]

Jiraiya almost there, having already used Fire Style to annihilate the summoning birds.

But Nagato was unconvinced. "I still have summoning beasts!" he shouted. Once again, a giant rhinoceros charged towards Jiraiya. "How will you deal with this one?"

But when faced with the sudden attack of the rhinoceros, Jiraiya suddenly disappeared again; it turned out that this was also Shadow Clone.

[Mei Terumi: No way, this is also Shadow Clone?]

[Yugito Nii: If I were tricked like this repeatedly during a match, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist killing him.]

[Mei Terumi: Exactly, it looks really stupid to fight with Shadow Clones like that for so long.]

[Yugito Nii: You guys who use Shadow Clones are so dirty.]

[Hozuki Mangetsu: I think it's perfectly acceptable. Shadow Clones are a method that can effectively restrain [the enemy].]

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Besides, how can we manage without putting in some effort against Jinchūriki like you? We don't have that much Chakra.]

[Yugito Nii: Hozuki Mangetsu, do you have a problem with Jinchūriki?!]

[Hozuki Mangetsu: No, no, I was just envious.]

[Yugito Nii: That would be best.]
