Battle Continues

"I didn't expect that Xiao Ye wouldn't use the newly modified hand seal Ninjutsu, but instead used the original A-rank hand seal Ninjutsu. Was I underestimated? Or what?"

Jiraiya looked at the Wind Release ahead— Half-Moon Slash, a crescent-shaped slash that was hurtling towards him at an extremely fast speed, carrying immense destructive power and considerable cutting ability as it moved forward.

"Xiao Ye, don't underestimate me! I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, one of the Sannin of the Shinobi World!"

Jiraiya finished speaking, his hands began to Hand Seals rapidly. Jiraiya, Kage Level expert, was extremely fast at Hand Seals, but in Xuan Ye's Divine Eye, it was nothing special and could be seen very clearly.

"Ninjutsu - Needle Jizo!"

After Jiraiya completed the Hand Seals and his chakra began to circulate according to his will, his short silver hair instantly grew longer, completely enveloping Jiraiya without any part of his body being exposed.

"Needle Jizo?"

Xuan Ye smiled slightly Jiraiya he saw the Ninjutsu Jiraiya used. "If it's Needle Jizo, then Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash won't be able to defeat it. We'll have to think of another way."

The crescent-shaped slash arrived instantly, teleporting right in front of Jiraiya and slamming into his steel-hard silver hair. Although the crescent-shaped slash carried powerful destructive force and cutting ability, it was unable to destroy the steel-hard silver hair.

"Boom!"

When the crescent-shaped slash collided with the long silver hair, only a loud bang was heard around it. The powerful force was quickly neutralized by the steel-hard hair, leaving nothing behind.

"Hmm?" Jiraiya lowered his head and glanced at his long silver hair, noticing that a few strands seemed to have been cut off and a small portion of the hair was slightly damaged.

"I didn't expect Xiao Ye to have grown to this level. Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash, although it's just a level A Ninjutsu without a hand seal, it actually displayed such powerful strength in Xiao Ye's hands. It seems we still can't underestimate him!"

Although Jiraiya's strength is at the Kage Level, Xuan Ye's strength is also quite good. His chakra and physical strength have reached the level of Elite Jonin. If Jiraiya is not careful, he might capsize in an unexpected way.

Moreover, Jiraiya himself was very clear that Xiao Ye's strength was not only what he had shown on the surface. His true strength was not only at the level of elite Elite Jonin, but also had a heaven-defying Taijutsu he had not yet used, namely Tai Chi Palm.

Jiraiya learning the Tai Chi Palm Taijutsu, Jiraiya has gained a considerable understanding of Taijutsu and is very clear about its Taijutsu.

He has been learning Tai Chi Palm, a martial Taijutsu, for three years. When using Tai Chi Palm, he can amplify and weaken attacks three times over. What does three times mean? It's an abnormal amplification and weakening!

That triple boost isn't just about increasing strength. While it can't boost chakra, it can boost physical strength, mental reaction speed, and movement speed—basically, all aspects of physical attributes.

There's also the weakening effect, which is even more terrifying. Jiraiya has been learning Tai Chi Palm for three years, but he still doesn't know why this Tai Chi Palm Taijutsu can weaken the power of an opponent's attack when he uses the slow mode.

The concept of this power is extremely broad. It weakens not only physical strength, but also chakra. In short, it can weaken any kind of power.

In other words, if Jiraiya's own strength was at the Kage Level, and Xuan Ye used the slow-motion Tai Chi Palm, then whether Jiraiya used Ninjutsu or physical strength, his strength would be unconditionally weakened tenfold.

"A tenfold reduction! That's no small amount. A tenfold reduction is equivalent to a person's strength instantly decreasing by tenfold. Although speed and physical reaction speed don't decrease by tenfold, the impact of this reduction is already extremely powerful."

"Endure— Rasengan!"

Suddenly, such a voice rang out in front of Jiraiya, and instantly he felt an extremely powerful chakra fluctuation in front of him, and a powerful destructive force appeared in front of him.

This force lacks the cutting ability of Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash, but its destructive power is greater than Ninjutsu of Wind Release: Half- Rasengan Half-Moon Slash, a rank A Ninjutsu without a seal.

"Xiao Ye, are you finally going to make a move against me?"

Jiraiya watched the rapidly moving figure of Xuan Ye in front of him, but he didn't panic at all. He simply jumped slightly backward, leaving the spot where he was originally standing.

However, Xuan Ye would not let this opportunity pass. His speed remained undiminished, and he controlled a constantly spinning chakra ball in his hand, attacking Jiraiya.

As Xuan Ye drew closer, Jiraiya's hands finally moved, forming hand Hand Seals, and his chakra began to circulate rapidly.

"Hand Seals? What kind of Ninjutsu is Jiraiya going to use? Is it a defensive Ninjutsu?"

Xuan Ye thought to himself, but despite the countless thoughts racing through his mind, his body continued to move, his speed increasing and the distance between him Jiraiya growing ever wider.

Jiraiya was known as one of the Sannin of the Shinobi World, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, because his chakra level was already at the Hokage level, and he could also enter Sage Mode, so his strength was naturally extremely powerful.

However, although Jiraiya's chakra level was very strong, his physical strength was far inferior to his chakra level. Although Jiraiya also trained his body, and after acquiring the Tai Chi Palm Taijutsu in the past three years, he spent much more time practicing Taijutsu.

However, his physical attributes are still comparable. His physical strength is not as strong as Xuan Ye's. Currently, Xuan Ye's physical attributes are consistent with his chakra level, both at the level of Elite Jonin.

Three years ago, Jiraiya's physical strength was only that of a Special Jonin, which was not very strong.
