"Now that we know this, things will be much easier."
Sage Fukasaku said.
"Wife, from the looks of him, he seems able to hear sounds. Physical attacks might not be able to affect him, but we can use Genjutsu..."
"No! I'd rather die!"
Sage Shima immediately objected vehemently.
"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked, confused.
"Sigh..."
Sage Fukasaku sighed.
"Wife, this battle concerns world peace... Don't be so stubborn. The Akatsuki Organization wants to capture the Tailed Beasts. You heard what the Great Toad Sage said, didn't you? If the Tailed Beasts are gathered together, something terrifying might happen... Don't be so stubborn."
"Shut up! I'm not going to care about that senile old man's nonsense!"
Sage Shima had never believed in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
Of course, it was also possible that she was merely putting on a tough front.
"Big Sis, what exactly are you so opposed to...?"
Jiraiya still didn't understand.
"We're already old enough... I don't want to sing with that old fart..."
Sage Shima's cheeks flushed an unusual shade of red.
"It's too embarrassing!"
They were an old married couple of 800 years, yet they still had to sing duets...
Jiraiya: "What? A duet?"
"Our strongest Genjutsu is an illusion that uses singing to attack the enemy's hearing..."
Sage Fukasaku explained.
"Hearing... So that's how it is." Jiraiya nodded.
"Although this Genjutsu is powerful, it has the weakness of allowing the enemy to locate us by sound... And combining the two vocal parts requires a little time..."
"I understand..."
Jiraiya immediately bent down and performed Sage Art.
"Sage Art: Senbon Needles!!"
Sss sss sss!!
Dense strands of hair shot from Jiraiya's head, transforming into sharp needles that could take lives.
Uchiha Obito walked out of the boiling oil, ignoring the needles.
"Now! Gaaah~~!!"
"Gaaah~~~!!"
