The next moment Hanzō forced Jiraiya back, before Jiraiya could counterattack...
Bang--
Hanzō disappeared directly in place.
Jiraiya was stunned at first, and then realized that Great Salamander King was seriously injured, and his chakra output could no longer maintain "Reverse Summoning Technique". Hanzō returned directly to the space where he should be... probably somewhere southeast of Land of Wind.
But just when Jiraiya is about to continue to attack Great Salamander King...
Bang--
Great Salamander King also disappeared!
Obviously, Hanzō, who was "bounced" back by the space, immediately used Summoning Technique to channel Great Salamander King away - not for fighting, but just to allow Great Salamander King to evacuate.
Then...
Bang, bang, bang...
There were many Giant Salamander one after another, and they all disappeared.
It is estimated that after Hanzō returned, he immediately ordered his subordinates Rain Ninja and Giant Salamander, who were able to teleport, to channel all of them. In this way, the remaining defeated soldiers were naturally no match for the snakes, and they were quickly divided and devoured.
Although he knew that this would be the result,... the strength shown by Akaseki and the snakes forced Hanzō to choose to "evacuate" and retain his strength.
If Hanzō were here, he might still have the determination to fight, but he himself was not there at all, and only appeared temporarily due to Great Salamander King's "Reverse Summoning Technique", which made it impossible for him to fight for a long time!
"Coward..."
"Do you only know how to escape?"
"He is indeed a despicable human being!"
Akaseki heard this and looked over. He didn't know what was going on with Garaga. It seemed to have a strong opinion on humans. At this time, it was also covered in wounds. It pushed away other giant snake beasts, swallowed a few Giant Salamander, and then left.
Akaseki also did not stop its domineering behavior of grabbing food...
After all, in the battle just now, in terms of merit, Garaga was not first, but also second - it was the one that held back the enemy's strongest Hanzō!
The injuries on its body also prove that this is not simple.
However, Garaga obviously did not come to help Akaseki. He simply felt the aura of Black Salamander King and came here to settle old grudges.
Garaga's strength is obvious to all, but... If, as Summoning Beast, he is not obedient, then no matter how strong he is, Akaseki will not consider it.
Akaseki also did not bring up the topic of eye treatment...
"I didn't expect you to be so strong now... Was that Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave just now?" Jiraiya asked with emotion to Akaseki who had returned to his original form.
Although there were still some snake beasts chasing the scattered Ibuse at this time, there was nothing going on with Akaseki and Jiraiya.
"Yes, it's our Uchiha Clan's Sage Mode!" Akaseki said proudly.
Jiraiya:???
Jiraiya I always feel like something is weird...
Jiraiya is certainly no stranger to "Sage Mode". He has also learned Sage Mode from Mount Myoboku.
Just...
Mount Myoboku and Sage Mode fully enhance the power of ninjutsu. Jiraiya cannot even be used independently!
This made Jiraiya fail to see what the use of Akaseki's Sage Mode was - looking at Akaseki's appearance just now, Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode seemed to be focused on strengthening the body? But Akaseki had never fought anyone hand-to-hand just now, and was only fighting with "ninjutsu"!
Isn't the body always under the protection of "Susanoo"? I can't see any effect of Akaseki's "Sage Mode"...
"The last move is Combination Technique from Earth Style and Water Style?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
Jiraiya's main ninjutsu is Fire Style and Earth Style, but even Jiraiya's strongest ninjutsu, Earth Style, is far behind the "Swamp Monster" just now.
"No, it's Swamp Release, a kind of "earth + water" Kekkei Genkai, and... it's also combined with Senjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, otherwise it wouldn't have such power." Akaseki explained.
Compared to Mount Myoboku Sage Mode, which comprehensively improves the power of almost all ninjutsu, Ryūchi Cave's "Inorganic Reincarnation" has a much simpler effect.
But just because it is single, if used properly, the effect is extremely strong, and it perfectly matches Akaseki's "Swamp Release"!
Akaseki gave a few simple explanations. After hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but grin. "I see, is there any Kekkei Genkai..."
There was "Air Release" before, and now another "Swamp Release" has been awakened?
Jiraiya now wonders whether Orochimaru made a wrong judgment...
Is there a possibility that Akaseki is not First Kekkei Genkai Awakener at all, but that there are too many marriages between the Uchiha Clan and Other Ninja Clans, and the bloodline pool is too deep?
"The power of Sage Mode just matches well with Kekkei Genkai... It is indeed a very strong power, especially Sage Mode, which can continue to grow!" Jiraiya looked at Akaseki with emotion.
When it came to "continue to grow", Akaseki also hesitated for a while, and asked Teacher Jiraiya for advice after a long time, "Teacher Jiraiya, recently... my chakra amount, except for turning on Sage Mode, has almost no increase. It is said that as I grow up, chakra should be able to expand. Is there some upper limit?" Jiraiya heard Akaseki's question, which was not unexpected. He just shook his head and said, "Normally speaking, as the body grows older, the physical strength will increase, and you are Uchiha Clan. Your mental energy is already strong, so you can have more chakra...
"However, your previous Taijutsu was already good enough, and the increase in physical energy brought about by growth will not be obvious. Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave can bring you a large amount of chakra increase, also because of the physical strengthening. If it is Sage Mode from Mount Myoboku, it will only make Senjutsu Chakra with Nature Energy stronger.
"Of course, now that you continue to practice Taijutsu, at least temper your body and train it to a level that matches your age, the upper limit of chakra should be increased."
Akaseki understood clearly after hearing this - he is indeed a member of Jiraiya, much more reliable than Orochimaru's son-in-law.
It's not that Orochimaru has little knowledge, it's that if Akaseki asks him for advice, he will only recommend his questionable supplements to Akaseki, and won't bother to explain these "profound principles". After all, Orochimaru really doesn't know how to be a teacher!
"I see...Taijutsu still can't fall behind." Akaseki reflected on it and realized that he had really made little progress in recent Taijutsu. The main reason was that he had less time to practice, and he had been diligently practicing Yin Style Eight Gates.
After all, Akaseki usually wears "Susanoo", so it's hard to be interested in Taijutsu.
This results in Taijutsu of Akaseki, which hasn't grown much with age lately.
Akaseki instead focuses on technology on Taijutsu, that is, using "Susanoo" to fight Taijutsu.
And I have fallen behind a bit in terms of physical exercise – I don't need it at all on a daily basis!
This caused Akaseki's physical fitness to regress from "outstanding" to "above average" among his peers.
Ordinary ninjas do not need to keep practicing Taijutsu, but as ninjas gradually mature, it is still necessary to maintain the habit of exercising to maintain physical strength. "After a ninja's strength reaches this level, there is often no regular increase. If you want to go further, you can only Relying on some special means, if you don't... you will never make progress. If you can master "Sage Mode", you will have the key to go further." Jiraiya was afraid that Akaseki would be too nervous, so he explained.
Jiraiya can also "Sage Mode", but his attainments in this area are too low. He can only use it barely, and it is not even a stable performance. It is difficult to make progress based on this.
Even so, he has more paths than other ninjas. Even if he doesn't use "Sage Mode", his usual ninjutsu training has been improved.
For Akaseki, "Sharingan" is one of them, and now there is another "Sage Mode"...
Even the two chakra types Kekkei Genkai can be considered half the way.
Immediately Jiraiya hesitated, and then pointed out. "Actually... for ordinary ninjas, there is another way, and that is "cooperation". It is not only the cooperation between multiple ninjas like Ino-Shika-Cho, but also their top abilities, if they can cooperate with each other, they can often have an effect that surpasses Tongji."
"You mean... an ordinary ninja like Third?" Akaseki asked weirdly.
Well, that Hiruzen Sarutobi has neither Kekkei Genkai nor any special abilities, and his mastery of Ninjutsu has not reached the level of Tobirama Senju...
The reason why "Shinobi Hero" is famous as Shinobi World is because his Five Basic Nature Transformations can cooperate with each other!
Hiruzen Sarutobi Take any attribute of ninjutsu individually and it is considered top among Elite Jonin. When combined with each other, he can reach another realm.
Coupled with Taijutsu who is not weaker than any Elite Jonin, that Hiruzen Sarutobi is a typical master who relies on "comprehensiveness" to reach the top.
"Ahem, I didn't say that the old man is an ordinary ninja!" Jiraiya glared at Akaseki and emphasized. For Akaseki, it actually means this now...
"Well, now Swamp Release and "Inorganic Reincarnation" are my strongest means." Akaseki also understands this.
In fact, many of Akaseki's previous strengths have reached the edge of "limit".
For example, Combination Technique, such as Sharingan Genjutsu, and another example is "Susanoo" which has surpassed Second Stage...
The reason why it has been unable to exceed the limits of ordinary ninjas is that Akaseki's power really has no coordination.
Before mastering "Inorganic Reincarnation", the greatest combination of Akaseki's various powers is "Thunderflame Greatsword", which is better than nothing...
This makes Akaseki just able to cope with more situations, but hardly any improvement.
Just like mastering an S-level ninjutsu, if the strength is 10, mastering ten will not become 100, but will only be a more comprehensive 10, which can be comparable to 12 and 13 in many situations.
If Akaseki's "Susanoo" can be applied to Swamp Monster, or Senjutsu Chakra can be applied to "Susanoo", then Akaseki's strength will take a leap forward!
But now...
Akaseki still needs to take some time out of Akaseki to Taijutsu... at least the progress of physical exercise to catch up with his age, to ensure that the improvements brought about by physical development are realized first.
