Jiraiya vs. the Two-Tails!

Su Nuo watched the Third Raikage's head fly through the air, a surge of exhilaration welling up inside him.

"Hmph..."

He kicked the Raikage's corpse away.

He dispelled Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and Domain Expansion.

By then, the injuries on his body had also completely recovered under the effect of Reverse Cursed Technique.

"The strongest Raikage is nothing special after all." Su Nuo sneered and looked toward the direction where the Eight-Tails had gone berserk.

"A Tailed Beast? Interesting... Should I go over?"

But at that moment.

Su Nuo's Byakugan had already caught sight of two figures.

After thinking it over, Su Nuo abandoned the idea of heading to the Eight-Tails' battlefield. Instead, he activated Eight Trigrams Palms and pushed it to its limit, using the force of his palms to smooth away all traces of battle.

Then the black markings on Su Nuo's body began to disappear.

The cold and arrogant aura also vanished.

"A... Lord A!"

Yugito Nii cried out in terror.

At that moment.

Her gaze instantly locked onto Hyuga Shin.

Hyuga Shin was bewildered.

He seemed to have grown much stronger...

Although he had no idea what had happened, his body felt... light.

And this headless corpse before him—could it be Third Raikage A?

The Evil God inside me is terrifyingly strong.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Sword!"

Just as Hyuga Shin was marveling at this, a scorching wind swept toward him!

Lightning crackled over Yugito Nii's body, while a five-meter-long greatsword in her hand slashed straight at Hyuga Shin!

Hyuga Shin hurriedly dodged.

Yet he evaded it with ease.

"Die, die!!" Yugito Nii, the girl who adored the Raikage, was now consumed by fury!

Her Lightning Release Chakra Mode was still quite clumsy, but gradually, the lightning coiling around her body transformed into flames...

A moment later, a giant cat covered in black markings and wreathed in blazing blue flames appeared!

The Two-Tails!

"She's transformed into a Tailed Beast..."

Hyuga Shin sighed softly.

But in the next instant, Hyuga Shin kicked the Two-Tails away!

That kick left both the Two-Tails and Jiraiya, who was hiding nearby, dumbfounded.

The enraged Two-Tails roared and immediately hurled a large number of blue flames, firing them over like a laser gun.

The flames looked like mice.

Hyuga Shin swiftly dodged, and the flaming mice landed on the ground and ignited.

At that moment, the Two-Tails pounced.

Its flaming claws struck down in an instant, but Hyuga Shin was even faster and dodged again. The claws smashed into the ground, blasting out a huge crater.

Bang!

Hyuga Shin raised his hand and punched the Two-Tails directly in its cat-like eye.

"Roar!"

The Two-Tails flew into a rage and opened its mouth, firing a massive fireball!

Hyuga Shin dodged again, then charged toward the Two-Tails.

"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!"

He activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode at the same time.

Hyuga Shin quickly reached the Two-Tails' side and sent it flying with an elbow strike.

The Two-Tails became even more furious.

This time, when it opened its mouth, an incredibly dark Tailed Beast Bomb began to form within it!

Hyuga Shin's expression shifted slightly.

Just then.

A tremendous roar came from the sky!

Hyuga Shin looked up.

A gigantic toad descended from the heavens.

"Gamabunta!"

Jiraiya, his face painted with markings, suddenly landed on Gamabunta!

The ground trembled when Gamabunta touched down!

"Hyuga Shin, I'm here to save you!" Jiraiya said.

Then he glanced at Hyuga Shin before looking at the Third Raikage's corpse, which lay on the ground with its head separated from its body.

This...

Did they really need to save him?

Come to think of it, how had Hyuga Shin killed the Third Raikage? And he looked to be in excellent condition...

Yet judging from Hyuga Shin's performance against the Two-Tails Jinchuriki just now—

Byakugan, top-tier taijutsu, and Lightning Release...

This...

Was he really a Hyuga ninja?

Didn't Hyuga ninjas all activate their Byakugan and use Eight Trigrams Palms?

Although both were forms of Nintaijutsu, Hyuga Shin was completely different from the other Hyuga ninjas. He was more like a taijutsu ninja who pursued sheer physical power, like Might Duy.

Generally speaking, although the Hyuga Family also trained their bodies, they pursued technique even more!

"Sage Art: Needle Senbon!" Jiraiya had no time to think further. He shouted loudly, and countless sharp hairs shot from his body.

They flew toward the Two-Tails like arrows.

The Two-Tails' charge was interrupted. It swung its tails to block them, but many strands of hair still pierced its defenses and embedded themselves in its body.

This made it even angrier!

"Let's go!" Jiraiya jumped down and had Gamabunta entangle the Two-Tails while he landed lightly beside Hyuga Shin.

"Where?" Hyuga Shin stood where he was.

"Uh..." Jiraiya was bewildered. "Back... to Konoha?"

"You mean we're going to run away?"

"This is a retreat. I'm here to rescue you."

"You can't beat that cat?"

"Uh, this..."

"We're at war with Kumogakure, right?" Hyuga Shin pointed at the cat. "That's the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. Can't we capture her and take her back?"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at Hyuga Shin.

Hiss...

He was currently in Sage Mode.

Gamabunta had also been summoned.

Hiss... Huh?

It seemed like they really could.

Jiraiya suddenly realized that it did indeed seem possible.

A large number of Cloud Village Ninjas were currently being chased all over the place by the Eight-Tails.

Moreover, Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru would be arriving soon.

Most importantly...

He had been appointed the overall commander of the battlefield, while Orochimaru had not yet been appointed, since he had basically been confirmed as the overall commander of the second battlefield against Iwagakure later.

As for Jiraiya commanding this battlefield, that was actually because Namikaze Minato was in charge here... and Minato was his disciple.

At the same time, Jiraiya happened to know Fuinjutsu!

It was the Fuinjutsu his teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had taught him. In fact, all three of the Sannin knew Fuinjutsu because of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"We can give it a try! And you're incredibly strong if you managed to kill the Raikage. Let's work together!" Jiraiya said.

"The Raikage was already seriously wounded when he arrived," Hyuga Shin said. "I only succeeded because I caught him by surprise. Besides, I don't have much Chakra left, and I'm out of stamina too."

Jiraiya: "..."

You just kicked the Two-Tails and punched it, sending it flying.

Are you seriously standing here with your eyes open and spouting lies?

But Jiraiya did not press the issue. After all, Hyuga Shin really had killed Raikage A. Although it was unclear what had happened in between, it was perfectly reasonable to say that the battle had exhausted him.

Jiraiya raised his hand and stared intently at the Two-Tails opposite him.

At that moment.

The Two-Tails sensed the threat. The blue flames around its body grew even hotter, and its body suddenly swelled! It expanded from two meters to three meters!

Seeing this, Jiraiya did not dare to be careless.

He quickly formed hand seals!

"Sage Art: Gojō-ō!"

Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima, perched on Jiraiya's shoulders, each exhaled Wind Release and Fire Release, while Jiraiya suddenly spewed oil.

The three techniques combined, creating a super-sized flamethrower with a massive area of effect and terrifying destructive power!
