Jiraiya Appears!

He couldn't keep staring at this thing for long. He had to end this quickly!

Once Kakashi had readied himself, an even greater terror erupted.

Countless thick, spiked tentacles sprouted from that bizarre giant eye and came crashing down on Kakashi from all directions.

The instant he used the Sharingan to catch the monster's movements, Kakashi immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to flee the area.

Without any surprise, the enormous tentacles tore apart the entire earth. Calling it earth-shattering would not have been an exaggeration.

"This kind of monster, it really is..."

Kakashi frantically dodged the enemy's attacks. Faced with such a monster, he was unusually at a loss.

In all his years as a shinobi, he had never encountered an opponent like this.

Not only was it enormous, but its tentacles swung with astonishing speed. Its entire body constantly radiated a Genjutsu-like mental assault, and the slightest carelessness would leave one stiffened by that Fear.

This meant Kakashi did not dare use the Sharingan too much to observe the enemy's movements.

Several tentacles crashed down wildly, effortlessly ripping open the ground wherever they struck and leaving behind massive ravines.

Finally, after adapting to the enemy's attack rhythm, Kakashi used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared atop one of the tentacles.

"Lightning Cutter!"

Without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest technique.

With a piercing Thunderclap, terrifying lightning wrapped around his palm. He became a flash of light and raced along the tentacle toward the eye in the sky.

Kakashi knew that attacking these tentacles was meaningless. Only by destroying the enemy's main body could he claim victory.

Stimulated by Lightning Release Chakra, his speed reached its limit.

But the monster before him clearly had no intention of waiting to die. It violently shook its tentacles, trying to throw Kakashi off.
