Of course, ordinary Chibaku Tensei was nothing more than a little brother before the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei.
But compared to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Hayato was just a little brother too.
At once, Hayato sensed the peculiar nature of Chibaku Tensei. The stable space around him became abnormally solid, while unstable areas resembled spatial turbulence.
Simply put, within the range of Chibaku Tensei, using space ninjutsu became difficult and dangerous.
Of course, that did not mean Hayato wanted to run.
If he wanted to leave, he would not need space ninjutsu at all, because Chibaku Tensei's gravitational pull gradually strengthened. As the target, Hayato initially faced tremendous gravity, but with the Tenseigan's power, he could still resist it and escape.
The problem was, he could not run.
If Chibaku Tensei was completed, there was no way he could expect Nagato to set down such a massive, meteor-like solid sphere gently. The most likely outcome was that it would be smashed directly onto Konoha.
Konoha's barrier definitely would not withstand it. In the end, Hayato would still have to hold it back.
Since he had to stop it, he naturally could not wait for Chibaku Tensei to fully take shape.
Hayato unleashed a Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, temporarily offsetting Chibaku Tensei's gravitational pull with equal force.
"Lord Jiraiya, this is really no joke. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to."
Hayato turned back to Jiraiya again and spoke.
"Fine, then... be careful."
Jiraiya could not find a way to break this sealing technique for the time being. Staying here seemed useless and would only distract Hayato. With that in mind, Jiraiya decisively retreated toward the outskirts.
"Naruto..."
On his way out, Jiraiya ran into Naruto, along with the two sages on his shoulders.
"Pervy Sage, why are you here?"
