Sage Mode Fully Unleashed! Jiraiya's Battle of Revenge!

The cold sentence echoed through the tower of the Hidden Rain Village.

Meanwhile, in the charred forest on the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village, Zetsu's pitcher-plant-like face had only just sunk halfway into the mud when a blast of berserk Lightning Release chakra blew it straight to pieces.

Yuan stood at the edge of the scorched pit and shook the dirt from his short blade. He had merely dealt with a spore clone spying from the shadows in passing, and he could not be bothered with whatever trick the Akatsuki was playing. Right now, there was only one thing in his head: find Danzo and kill him.

Just as Yuan was about to continue searching outside the village, a terrifying wave of chakra suddenly erupted from within the Hidden Leaf Village, completely unconcealed and raging like a tidal sea!

The chakra was not only vast; it was mixed with wildly violent natural energy. It shot straight into the clouds, blasting a huge hole through the dark overcast sky.

Yuan stopped and looked back. The target locked onto by that chakra was precisely the Old Uchiha Clan Compound where he stood.

"That old toad Jiraiya's lost his temper." Yuan licked his lips. Not only did he not run, he turned around and sprinted back toward the clan compound.

At that moment, in the Old Uchiha Clan Compound, the newly repaired gate had already been kicked into splinters.

Jiraiya stood in the center of the square. His appearance had undergone a heaven-shaking change. His originally messy white hair had grown extremely long, standing up behind his head like a hedgehog's spines; a large rough lump like toad skin had appeared on his nose, and red sage face markings had surfaced on both cheeks. Two small toad sages—Fukasaku and Shima—squatted on his left and right shoulders.

Sage Mode, fully unleashed!

"Uchiha Yuan, get the hell out here!" Jiraiya's roar was mixed with senjutsu chakra, shaking the tiles on the surrounding houses until they clattered down. Mihui hurriedly led the clan members toward the air-raid shelter in the back mountain, not daring to get close at all.

"Calling for a ghost? Dressed that disgusting, and you came to my doorstep to throw your weight around?"

A black shadow dropped from the sky. Yuan slammed heavily onto the stone slabs a dozen meters across from Jiraiya, without even bending his knees.

Jiraiya looked at Yuan, who was covered in blood, his eyes shot through with red. The old man was dead, and now even Tsunade had died at this madman's hands. The bonds he had cherished for half his life had been torn to shreds by the same person.

"You killed Tsunade! She fought for the village until her very last breath, and you still did it. Are you even human?" Jiraiya gnashed his teeth, the veins on the backs of his hands bulging.

Yuan slid the short blade back into the sheath on his back, shoved both hands into his pockets, and struck an arrogant pose to the extreme. "She contacted Danzo and got in my way. Whoever blocks my path dies. What, you want to go join her in the Pure Land and make up a table?"

"I originally didn't want to fight you. The village can't withstand the turmoil." Jiraiya rapidly formed seals in front of his chest as the natural energy inside him compressed wildly. "But you killed Tsunade. I can't ignore that. Today, I'll clean house for the Hidden Leaf!"

"Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!"

Jiraiya did not test him at all. He directly raised a giant blue sphere of energy over two meters in diameter in his right hand. With senjutsu enhancing it, the Rasengan's destructive power was more than ten times stronger than normal. He stomped down, and the hard bluestone beneath his feet shattered like tofu. His whole body turned into a streak of light as he drove that Rasengan, powerful enough to flatten half a mountain, straight at Yuan's chest.

His speed was unbelievably fast!

Yuan did not retreat. He did not even activate the Mangekyo; only the Mangekyo deep in his eyes spun at high speed. Facing that world-destroying Rasengan, Yuan actually reached out his right hand, spread his fingers, and grabbed it head-on.

"You're asking to die!" Sage Fukasaku cried out from his shoulder.

Boom!

The Rasengan spun violently in Yuan's palm, and its terrifying tearing force sliced a thick layer off the ground within ten meters around him. But strangely, that chakra sphere could not advance another step!

Yuan's palm was covered in a thin layer of monstrous-strength chakra he had just taken from Tsunade and which the system had strengthened countless times over. Two extremes of raw violence ground madly against each other at the point of contact, bursting out with dazzling sparks.

"Toad power? Kind of interesting." Yuan grinned. Not only did he catch it, his five fingers suddenly clenched inward, and he forcibly crushed that Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan until it warped and collapsed!

Immediately after, Yuan clenched his left fist, drove power from his waist, and sent a plain, unadorned heavy punch straight into Jiraiya's side ribs.

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically, but he was in Sage Mode, and his perception of surrounding danger had reached an exquisite level. He forcibly twisted his waist, dodging that fatal punch by a hair's breadth, then used the momentum to roll backward and create distance.

"His physical strength can actually withstand senjutsu head-on!" Jiraiya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima, prepare that!"

"Understood, little Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya bit his thumb hard, formed seals with both hands, and slapped the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!"

With a loud bang, a huge cloud of white smoke billowed into the air. A giant toad the size of a small mountain, with a massive pipe in its mouth and a short blade at its waist, appeared in midair.

Gamabunta!

"Jiraiya, you called me out just to deal with a brat like this?" Bunta exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke.

"Cut the crap, Bunta! Draw your blade and cut him down!" Jiraiya roared.

Bunta also sensed the chilling chakra radiating from Yuan. His huge toad eyes narrowed, and he drew the short blade at his waist, which was dozens of meters long, then slashed down at Yuan on the ground from midair. The force of the slash even cut a white wave of air through the sky.

"A stinking toad dares play with blades in front of me?"

Yuan shouted coldly, and the Mangekyo Sharingan blazed with red light. Vast red chakra burst out of his body, and Susanoo condensed instantly. But this time, it was not a half-bodied skeleton; muscles and armor directly grew over it.

Susanoo reached out with a massive bone hand and actually seized the enormous blade Bunta had swung down!

The blade struck Susanoo's palm, erupting in an ear-piercing screech of metal scraping metal, but it could no longer press down another inch.

"What?!" Humanlike shock appeared on Bunta's toad face.

"Get lost!" Yuan stood inside Susanoo's crystal and let out a furious roar. Susanoo's arm muscles suddenly bulged, and it grabbed the blade and yanked with the momentum.

Bunta's huge body, which weighed dozens of tons, was actually pulled off balance by brute force. Immediately afterward, Susanoo flew up with a kick and stomped viciously into Bunta's stomach.

"Gwaa!" Bunta screamed, his massive body flying backward like a cannonball. He smashed through three rows of abandoned buildings behind the clan compound in succession, throwing up dust that filled the sky.

"Bunta!" Jiraiya's eyes nearly split with rage.

He knew he could no longer clash with this monster using pure physical attacks. He drew in a deep breath, and the two sages on his shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima, puffed out their cheeks at the same time.

"Sage Art: Frog Call!"

This was not an ordinary ninjutsu, but a dual genjutsu and physical attack that infused natural energy into high-frequency sound waves. Invisible sound waves swept out in a fan shape with Jiraiya at the center, like layer after layer of ocean waves.

Yuan's Sharingan could see through chakra flow and discern the trajectories of ninjutsu, but it could not see through sound waves vibrating in the air.

"Bzz—"

An extremely sharp stab of pain pierced straight through Susanoo's defense and drove viciously into Yuan's eardrums and brain. Yuan only felt a thunderous buzz explode inside his head, and his vision blurred for an instant. The powerful sound waves even produced physical force, knocking Yuan and Susanoo back three or four steps together.

A trace of crimson blood spilled from the corner of Yuan's mouth.

"A sound-wave attack... invisible ninjutsu?" Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and the violence in his eyes was instantly ignited. This was the first time he had been injured since his resurrection!

[Ding! Host damage detected! Reverse Scale value soaring! Berserk bonus activated! All attributes increased by 200%!]

The system's notification exploded in his mind.

Yuan's entire being plunged into a state of complete madness. He did not form seals to defend himself. Instead, he concentrated all of his berserk chakra into his legs and right fist.

"I'm turning every last one of you toads into dry pot today!"

Yuan let out a beastlike roar and advanced instead of retreating. Susanoo withdrew, and with his pure fleshly body, he braced against those senjutsu sound waves capable of shattering an ordinary person's internal organs and forced himself one step forward.

Under his violent charge, that invisible sound-wave barrier actually made cracking sounds like shattering glass.

"Break for me!"

Yuan punched the invisible wall of sound waves. Absolute power directly triggered a second explosion in the air.

Boom! The sound-wave barrier was blown apart by one punch, and the violent air wave, mixed with a chaotic chakra current, rolled back. Jiraiya was caught off guard, and he and the two sages on his shoulders were directly sent flying by the air wave. They smashed heavily through a high wall behind them and fell into a stretch of ruins.

Jiraiya struggled to climb out of the ruins and spat out a mouthful of bloody foam mixed with dust. He looked at the demon before him, who was closing in step by step like a god of war, and his gaze became incomparably resolute.

"Ordinary Sage Mode... looks like it still isn't enough." Jiraiya took a deep breath and formed another complex seal with both hands. "Old man, Tsunade, lend me your strength!"
