"That man looks awfully familiar." Meng Chuan opened the video. The moment he saw the man, he recognized the hairstyle, the forehead protector bearing the character for "oil," and the two red streaks running down his face to his chin.
"Isn't that Jiraiya?" Meng Chuan dug the man's name out of his memory.
One of the Three Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya!
"This video..." Meng Chuan watched Jiraiya battle someone in a black cloak patterned with red clouds.
Jiraiya's hands flashed through signs as he shouted a technique that turned his hair into a wild lion's mane. It had no effect. He summoned a toad and tried to enter Sage Mode, but failed.
The Six Paths of Pain kept interfering with Jiraiya, but they ultimately failed to stop him. Jiraiya entered Sage Mode and merged with two Toad Sages.
Jiraiya was fearsome in that state. He forced one of the Six Paths of Pain out of the Invisible Summoning Beast Chameleon, only for Pain to summon two more companions and start a villainous gang beating.
Jiraiya unleashed Sage Art and even the Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, but nothing worked. He could not hurt the Six Paths of Pain, so he fought while retreating and devised a plan to defeat them one by one.
Jiraiya even brought down several of the Pains in the ensuing battle. But when all Six Paths of Pain appeared, he could not turn the tide alone. His left arm was severed, his throat was crushed, and six black rods pierced his body.
In the end, Jiraiya's corpse sank into the sea!
"The final chapter of Jiraiya's Tale of the Gutsy Ninja?" After watching the video, Meng Chuan understood what it depicted.
[Group Admin] Meng Qi lv59: That's Jiraiya, right? His final battle?
[Group Member] Lu Mingfei lv33: That's right,
