Sage Mode Jiraiya

Jiraiya's Sage Mode training was far from perfect. Just entering that state required a period of preparation, and during that time, Jiraiya had to maintain his hand signs the entire time.

Momoshiki raised a hand to stop him and said, "No need. Although that energy is special, its intensity still isn't very high. With Kinshiki's power, he is more than capable of handling it
