Five Paths Nagato vs. Sage Jiraiya
With just a Deva Path clone, Nagato was able to fight Nagato in Sage Mode to a standstill in terms of Taijutsu.
Now, having retrieved all five Paths of Pain and extracted the Three-Tails 'Chakra, Nagato has regained his health.
Facing Jiraiya's attacks in Sage Mode, he was not without pressure, but he was also extremely relaxed.
The master and disciple engaged in a high-speed Taijutsu exchange, kicking up large clouds of dust.
Konan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, frowned slightly, then two paper wings appeared on her back, and she flew into the air.
Girls, unlike two grown men, are still quite clean.
The Taijutsu combat had been going on for a minute, Jiraiya had no way to deal with Nagato.
The more the battle raged, the more alarmed Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was well aware of just how powerful his Taijutsu were when he entered Sage Mode.
Even when facing Tsunade, he could easily handle her.
However, Nagato on the other side seemed to be handling it very easily and comfortably.
After realizing how difficult Nagato was to deal with, Jiraiya grew stronger.
There's no mistake, Nagato is definitely the chosen one!
"Two bosses!"
Jiraiya's simple words were enough to make Shima and Fukasaku understand.
Now it's time to get serious.
The two immortals, who had been holding back for a long time, did not hesitate and immediately took action, just in time to teach this brat who did not know how to respect people a lesson.
[Sage Art: Frog Kata!]
Jiraiya's Sage Mode wasn't as perfect Naruto's; using the Frog Kata required the cooperation of two Sages.
'Bang'
In the instant the two clashed again, the Natural Energy around Jiraiya transformed into invisible and imperceptible fists or palms that attacked Nagato.
What was imperceptible to ordinary ninjas was clearly visible to Nagato.
A stealth attack?
Then try this!
Nagato did not choose to dodge, but instead prepared to deal with Jiraiya's next attack.
Just as Jiraiya felt he was about to succeed, his senses were greatly enhanced by Sage Mode.
An entity with an eerie aura has appeared.
What is that?
The Natural Energy rushing towards Nagato was completely blocked, and Nagato, unaffected, threw a punch at Jiraiya.
As Jiraiya blocked Nagato's attack, the strange entity that had just blocked the Frog Kata Kyuubi rushed towards Jiraiya.
Not good!
Jiraiya was anxious but helpless. Then Jiraiya saw the enormous thing behind Nagato.
[Naraka Path - King of Hell!]
Jiraiya, whose tongue was entangled, was finally able to see the King of Hell of Hell standing behind Nagato.
It was a gigantic head, its gaping maw capable of swallowing several people whole, and its tongue, which was now wrapped around Jiraiya's body, stretched out from its mouth.
"What's this?"
Jiraiya asked the question aloud, but Nagato showed no intention of answering.
He kicked Jiraiya in the stomach, and then King of Hell released his tongue, sending Jiraiya flying backward.
"If that's all you've got, then you might as well die here today, Jiraiya- sensei!"
While still in the air, Jiraiya heard Nagato's cold words.
Jiraiya quickly got up after landing, dusted himself off, and although he could no longer see him, he could still clearly sense that King of Hell had not disappeared.
Jiraiya knew that he couldn't teach Nagato a lesson with Taijutsu alone.
Upon hearing Nagato's words, Jiraiya merely offered a self-deprecating smile.
What a failure! Even his own disciples were shouting for his life, and he was beaten so badly he couldn't even fight back!
However, the stubborn Jiraiya would never reveal his true thoughts.
"Nagato, your Taijutsu is indeed impressive, but you must understand that what makes a ninja a ninja is their Ninjutsu!"
"I'm going to get serious now. If anything feels off, remember to run, Nagato!"
After saying that, Jiraiya leaped up and instantly halved the distance between Jiraiya and Nagato.
At the highest point, Jiraiya had already condensed a huge blue sphere of light in his right hand.
Chakra was visibly spinning at high speed within it.
[Immortal method· Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!]
Seeing Jiraiya approaching menacingly, Nagato didn't even want to move an inch.
Jiraiya, who was slamming down with the Rasengan in mid-air, saw Nagato standing still, Fudō to take the hit head-on. He quickly turned around and tried to change his target.
However, Jiraiya realized it too late. The Rasengan that hit the ground expanded rapidly and enveloped Nagato.
"Nagato!"
Jiraiya shouted anxiously.
Seemingly recalling that his previous escape from death was thanks to Konan's help, Jiraiya quickly turned to Konan, hoping Konan could think of a solution.
No, Konan isn't here!
Oh, so she's up in the sky. Looking at the carefree Konan, Jiraiya sensed something was wrong.
At a time like this, how could Konan possibly be in the mood to watch the show!
So, is Nagato alright?
What happened next confirmed Jiraiya's guess.
The Chakra was absorbed!
As Jiraiya watched the Rasengan in his hand shrink smaller and smaller, Jiraiya felt the Chakra within it rapidly draining away.
Just moments later, the Rasengan dissipated into the air.
Aside from creating a hole with a radius of more than ten meters upon initial contact with the ground, the attack had no other effect.
Nagato, who hadn't moved an inch, appeared unharmed in Jiraiya's sight.
