Whoosh! Whoosh!
Flames surged up on eight sides, forming a fiery fortress that enveloped their caster, Jiraiya!
Five-Flame Divine Fan, a defensive S-rank Sage Art Fire Release technique!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Behind Isshiki, nine Wood Dragons tethered by nine Adamantine Sealing Chains spat nine white phantom dragons from their mouths, which coiled around him!
Using the Senju Clan's Wood Release and the Uzumaki's sealing chakra, he had recreated the forbidden technique the Akatsuki once used to seal Tailed Beasts-Phantom Dragon Nine Seals. It could absorb and seal chakra, and given enough time, it could drain even Tailed Beast Chakra dry!
"This technique alone is enough to render yours useless!" Isshiki glanced at the flames surrounding Jiraiya. "For something like that... three will suffice!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three phantom dragons came hurtling in. The flames flickered violently, flaring in defiance...
With a bubbling rush, the Fire Release chakra flowed along the phantom dragons into the Wood Dragons, then through the Adamantine Sealing Chains into Isshiki's body.
Feeling his chakra increase, Isshiki thought, Good... I'll keep absorbing chakra like this. Once I've recovered enough power to use Daikokuten once, I can incapacitate Jiraiya. Then I'll take him hostage and negotiate with Uchiha Riu!
Jiraiya darted sideways out of the dwindling flames and pressed both hands to the ground.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!
Bubble, bubble!
The ground beneath Isshiki instantly became a Yellow Springs Swamp dozens of meters across!

Amid bubbling sounds, the nine Wood Dragons sank into the Yellow Springs Swamp!
In midair, Isshiki coldly extended his hand. "All I need to do is target you, the caster!"
Whoosh!
A phantom dragon swooped
