Konan flew nimbly through the air, attacking Jiraiya from above.
Boom, boom, boom!
It was the sound of Fire Release Ninjutsu colliding with countless shuriken, the flames filling the sky and burning it crimson.
"Still no good. Konan is too fast, and too agile."
Jiraiya considered his options. Under constant attack, he found it difficult to counterattack.
The main problem was that he had no way to restrain Konan. Flying through the air, she was far too mobile.
Hmm?
Jiraiya suddenly spotted something, and inspiration flashed through his mind.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
Powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu hurtled toward Konan again, and a skyful of paper poured down, colliding with it once more.
Boom!
The fierce collision of ninjutsu sent turbulent air currents spreading in all directions.
Seizing his chance, Jiraiya stopped releasing his Fire Release, flipped out of the way of the dense barrage of Paper Shuriken, then crouched on the ground and spat the toad oil he had prepared at Konan!
The toad oil refined from chakra instantly drenched Konan, its exceptional stickiness slowing her movements.
"Toad oil?"
Konan looked at the toad oil running down her body, then lowered her gaze to Jiraiya.
"Now you won't be able to control your paper so freely, will you, Konan!"
"Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
His silver hair grew at incredible speed, turning into a huge snake that instantly crossed the distance and swallowed the movement-restricted Konan in one bite.
Konan fell from the sky, clamped tightly in the hair's jaws, and slammed into the ground.
Suddenly, with a pop, Konan turned into smoke and vanished without a trace.
"A Paper Clone? No wonder something felt off."
Before Jiraiya could say anything more, a figure crashed down in front of him. Orochimaru lay sprawled on the ground like a pile
