Jiraiya's Worst Performance

"Earth Release, Earth Flow River!"

A loud shout rang out across the battlefield. More than a hundred Iwagakure shinobi formed hand seals at once before slamming their palms onto the ground.

Rumble! Rumble!

In an instant, after the ground shook violently, the hard earth before Konoha's shinobi forces suddenly softened like liquid. The liquefied mud surged high into the air, crashing forward in wave after wave.

"Fire Release, Great Fireball Technique!"

On Konoha's side, nearly a hundred shinobi stepped forward as well. After rapidly forming hand seals, they opened their mouths and spewed out clusters of crimson flames.

Crackle! Crackle!

The flames scorched the air, producing a series of crackling sounds.

More than a hundred crimson fireballs gathered together, gradually forming a vast sea of fire that covered nearly a kilometer.

The moment the sea of fire appeared, the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly.

Ahead, the sea of fire spread swiftly and soon collided head-on with the mudflow. Wave after wave of mud crashed into the flames, but the heat within the fire sea was so intense that the mud was baked dry shortly after entering it.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Shisui, who had been standing beside Fugaku and Hiashi, vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already within Iwagakure's ranks.

Shisui's appearance only caught the attention of a few Iwagakure shinobi. The others acted as though they had not seen him at all and continued charging forward.

Even those few Iwagakure shinobi who had noticed Shisui did not attack him immediately. They merely stood there and watched him.

"Ignoring me? Is my intimidation not strong enough?"

Shisui muttered under his breath. Then, violent energy surged from his body. "If that's the case, I'll put on a show too!"

"Susanoo!"

The power in his eyes erupted instantly.
