However, upon learning of Jiraiya's rarity, another unpleasant thought surfaced in his mind.
So he prepared to say that he would stay behind and let Jiraiya, the commander, go down and take command!
Otherwise, if these people step down, there will still be no one below who can make overall decisions.
So even if they go down there and a fight breaks out, it'll all be for nothing!
But Utatane Kunio speak for the second time, he was stopped by the voice beside him.
Jiraiya was able to realize this and arrange for someone to take charge!
He was very happy.
But what about Jiraiya's title!
Uncle Kunxiong was extremely unhappy!
Then Utatane Kunio's face darkened, and he turned to the white-haired boy beside him, saying, "Do your own thing."
"You go down and take command; I'll handle the Wood Release up here!"
After saying that, he threw another Water Release Ninjutsu at the person in the air.
Water Release: Water Bullet Barrage
I'm not even thinking about dealing damage, because that thing is in the air and flies so far away, how could it possibly hit anything!
But his real purpose was to delay the inevitable.
The unwillingness to take command is not due to a lack of willingness to obey orders.
He just felt that Jiraiya needed this kind of experience even more!
After all, the future belongs to the young people, and Jiraiya couldn't possibly Jiraiya a gathering of several hundred people.
So, wouldn't the subsequent thousand-person recruitment of Jiraiya be a trap?
Commanding is something that requires more than just talent; experience is key!
The more pitfalls you fall into, the more likely you are to turn a hundred defeats into a hundred victories!
In his haste, Jiraiya accidentally uttered the name he was thinking of.
Perfect timing to say sorry!
But what happened next to me?
He frowned and said in a deep voice, " Utatane Kunio and obey my orders!"
"The enemy is Jonin, and they use the Senju and Wood Release, plus they can fly and it rains!"
"You think you, a Jonin, can hold off the enemy?"
"Hurry down and assemble the troops to arrange tactics. Stop dawdling here, I have a way to move up another level!"
After saying that, I didn't want to waste any more words.
He turned to look into the eyes of the person beside him and said, "There are also those who have the confidence and means to completely stop him!"
He had no idea what that old bastard was thinking.
But he knew the old bastard's strength range, and he also knew that a Jonin Senju, Wood Release, the ability to fly, and the ability to withstand rain was a powerful combination.
Just how challenging is this combination of advantages?
Leaving aside the latter three, just consider the Senju and Jonin.
Even a newly Jonin Senju can fight to a draw with a veteran Jonin that old Flat Chest!
Then there are still three items left!
If we leave that old bastard to hold them off, then we'll only have ten minutes or so to go down there.
It'll fall down from above, that old bastard's head!
The name of the Senju Clan is renowned throughout the Shinobi World!
Hearing Jiraiya's words, he looked into the eyes of the white-haired brat.
Utatane Kunio without further hesitation.
He nodded slightly and immediately stopped and ran downwards!
He stayed behind to hold them off; didn't he know the strength of the Senju and how formidable the enemy was?
But I still hold the same opinion: this level of ability at this age.
The future belongs to the young, so they shouldn't die here before they grow up!
But then, looking into Jiraiya's eyes and listening to the meaning behind his words, he realized...
Utatane Kunio realized that this child truly had the confidence to handle such a formidable opponent on his own!
So, what's the point of being pretentious?
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.
With Jiraiya gone from our Jiraiya, doesn't the enemy also lose such a troublesome Wood Release?
There is a backup command on the other side.
He was actually the village's backup commander!
Given the current situation, should we delay, hesitate, or argue?
These things are all unacceptable!
Seeing that Utatane Kunio had moved, the remaining people quickly began to move downwards with the help of Chakra.
But they had only taken a few steps!
Then the aerial attack came again.
The enemy's anticipated attack immediately blocked their advance.
So they had no choice but to stop and evade or find other ways to tough it out!
Noticing that these people had stopped or Hand Seals, Jiraiya threw the Ninjutsu in his hand directly at the heads of his companions.
Wind Release · Vacuum Great Sphere
"Whew!"
Exhale a long, prepared breath.
An even larger Wind Release energy shot out from Jiraiya's mouth!
This Wind Release energy wave not only blocked the falling water guns, but also directly stopped the heavy rain falling from the sky!
The continuous downpour suddenly stopped.
Realizing this, Utatane Kunio, who had originally planned to use defensive Ninjutsu to withstand the attack, was caught off guard.
While changing the hand seals, he shouted loudly, "Don't stop, stop quickly, someone's blocking our way!"
Those Jonin heard the sound or noticed the scene immediately stopped what they were doing or took a step back.
One after another, they jumped off the cliff.
Some people, in their pursuit of speed, have even resorted to methods as quick as Substitution Technique!
Meanwhile, the person who had previously placed the Substitution Wood Shao, also used other methods to quickly leave this dangerous place, the rocky cliff!
In the sky.
Jiraiya blocked all of Jiraiya 'Water Release: Water Fang Bullet.
Uka Senju showed little surprise upon seeing this.
That's Jiraiya over there!
I remember seeing this guy a few years ago; he was almost Jonin by then.
After these years of growth and with the Third Hokage as his teacher, Jiraiya certainly wasn't someone who wasted his time!
It's quite normal for them to have reached this level of strength!
That was the thought in her mind, but Uka Senju's hands did not stop moving in the slightest.
Although he quite liked this person when he watched anime in his previous life.
But in this life, he stands opposite him.
No matter how much you like something, it can't compare to real benefits!
With so many Jonin present, he dared not get too close.
He was afraid of being entangled and then being taken away by a group of people in one fell swoop!
But now everyone else is gone, and Jiraiya is left!
If we can resolve this, we'll have one less formidable enemy in future battles.
After all, this thing is destined to become Kage Level enemy, and one at the very top of that Kage Level.
Water Release · Instant Water
The thumbs of both hands are straightened, and the last 'Yin' seal is completed from his hands.
He was multitasking, controlling the flapping of the wings behind him.
Uka Senju attacked Jiraiya below Jiraiya was blocking her water gun.
It streaked through the air at breakneck speed and plummeted downwards!
Today's weather is arguably the best battleground for those proficient in Water Release Ninjutsu.
Uka Senju doesn't need to create water using Chakra as usual, and then use Chakra to control the water flow to form a Ninjutsu form.
He only needs to complete the second step, and the falling water from the sky will become the best carrier.
As they fell and approached or had already defeated Jiraiya, they rapidly changed, the water droplets connecting and merging into one.
This completely enveloped Jiraiya within the range of this A-rank Ninjutsu!
I was just using Wind Release Ninjutsu to help my teammates withstand attacks.
This meant that Jiraiya was unable to escape the range of the Ninjutsu immediately.
In that instant, the space around him was completely filled with water.
There wasn't even a wisp of air left!
I instinctively shut my mouth tightly and held back my breath through my nose.
Resisting the tearing force of the water surrounding him, he quickly brought his hands together to Hand Seals!
"Bang!"
"Puff!"
Successfully used the Substitution Technique.
He, who was originally in the water, became a Substitution Wood.
As his double escaped, the piece of wood in the water was torn apart by the invisible force within the water flow!
As the caster, Uka Senju immediately noticed the anomaly in the Ninjutsu.
He immediately cut off the Chakra supply that was maintaining the Water Release.
Their hands clapped together immediately!
Wood Release: Tree Burial
There were no large plants on the bare rocky cliff; only some nameless grasses survived in the crevices of the rocks!
Today, after this rocky cliff came into contact with Wood Release Chakra for the first time, it underwent an astonishing change.
Those originally nameless little grasses were stimulated by Wood Release Chakra.
They grew rapidly, becoming larger and larger, then swirled and intertwined in the air as they rushed toward their target location!
They used Substitution Technique to evade.
However, not many of the previously placed Substitution Wood were located at the top of the cliff.
This resulted in the location where Jiraiya had just emerged being not far from where he was trapped.
So as soon as he appeared, he noticed the unusual appearance of the surrounding plants.
Without much time to think, he immediately Hand Seals and used the second move of his self-created Ninjutsu.
Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo
Chakra within his body disappeared, the white hair that was behind Jiraiya immediately grew longer.
He was wrapped up tightly in it, just like before.
The only difference is that these white hairs are no longer simply a form of defense.
Instead, it stood up like thorns made up of many white hairs.
Having completed his Ninjutsu Jiraiya stood like a hedgehog, resisting the damage caused by the tree roots.
"Kakaka!"
A sickening sound came from where the two Ninjutsu overlapped.
In the end, the Wood Release, which initiated the attack, gained the upper hand.
But when these tree roots burst the contents inside, what they got was not Jiraiya's corpse turned into Jiraiya.
It was a broken body made of mud!
Earth Release: Earth-Style Substitution
Having just been surrounded by Wood Release Ninjutsu, Jiraiya discovered that the hardness of his hair was no match for that of Kazuki.
So, being at the center of the Ninjutsu attack, he immediately formed Hand Seals and used this Ninjutsu to stealthily escape!
As for why he didn't choose to escape immediately, firstly, it would be too late, and secondly, he wanted to personally experience the Wood Release technique used by the opponent.
Just how far has he progressed in his Wood Release?
This way, he can better respond to subsequent battles!
He used Earth Release: Substitution Technique to escape, so he must be hiding in this rocky cliff right now.
Sensing the person hovering in the sky, Jiraiya controlled himself to rise while quickly forming Hand Seals to launch a counterattack.
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
The moment his head emerged from the ground, the soil beside Jiraiya's location changed and formed a dragon's head.
Unlike the Third Hiruzen Sarutobi in the anime, his dragon head is raised high and aimed precisely at the sky.
"Tap tap tap!"
As soon as the dragon head took shape, it opened its huge mouth and spat out a series of mud balls at the person in the air.
However, Jiraiya's Ninjutsu was not aimed at a person.
It was actually the pair of large, deep green wings that Wood Release spread out in the sky!
He launched an attack on the enemy, but Jiraiya did not stop.
His hands moved so fast they almost left afterimages.
After using this Earth Release Ninjutsu, he launched other Ninjutsu towards the sky.
Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade
After completing the hand seals, he stood with his feet apart, one in front of the other.
Then he pulled his right hand back as if throwing a javelin.
The water falling from the sky immediately solidified in his hand, forming a blue javelin.
And it continues to rotate and compress, absorbing the water around it.
"Haa!"
This charging motion lasted for a few seconds, until Jiraiya felt that the Blue Javelin in his hand was about to go out of control.
With a loud shout and fueled by Chakra, he hurled the javelin at the enemy in mid-air!
"Whoosh!"
With a surge of Chakra, the water javelin whistled through the air.
After leaving Jiraiya's grasp, it continued to move forward rapidly while absorbing the nearby water flow.
It only exploded into a giant Water Tornado after it made contact with something!
In the sky.
As the Wood Release Ninjutsu Tree Burial closed, Uka Senju, having learned the result from the feedback of the Ninjutsu, flapped her wings again to control herself and rise higher.
He used this cheating method to dodge the flight path of those mud balls!
Feeling the pressure emanating from the blue Chakra membrane on his body as he was high in the air.
Having just pulled up to dodge the Earth Dragon Bullet, he quickly descended and lunged towards the enemy.
And during this process, he also completed the last mark on his hand.
Wood Release: Wood Dragon
This is a High-Level Ninjutsu that he modified and abridged based on Hashirama Senju's Ninjutsu.
Unlike the original version, it absorbs Chakra by binding!
The new version of Wood Dragon has become a permanent, purely offensive Ninjutsu.
Because he was in the sky, he channeled the Chakra of this Ninjutsu into his armor.
Stimulated by a large amount of Wood Release Chakra, a dragon head struggled to emerge from his shoulder.
Furthermore, the more of Uka Senju's body parts left her body, the larger the Wood Dragon became.
Within seconds, Uka Senju stopped flapping its wings.
Instead, it stands atop this thirty-meter-long Wood Dragon, its two horns rising majestically into the sky.
In a moment of urgency, the Wood Dragon instinctively opened its mouth and roared.
"Hooray!"
With a flick of its tail, the enormous dragon charged towards Uka Senju Jiraiya!
The Water Release javelin they encountered along the way was knocked away by the Wood Dragon with its own head.
The second form of that Ninjutsu, the Water Tornado, was then blown apart in the sky by the Wood Dragon's tail.
2 minutes and 59 seconds!
Below.
Seeing the commotion in the sky, they were locked onto by High-Level Ninjutsu.
Furthermore, due to the inherent interference of High-Level Ninjutsu, Jiraiya was unable to evade it using the simplest method Substitution Technique.
And so I watched the dark green Wood Dragon falling from the sky.
Jiraiya then raised his right thumb to his lips and bit it.
Then the bloodied right hand was placed on the ground in front of him.
"Bang!"
After an exceptionally loud bang, a plume of white smoke rose up, almost obscuring the Stone Cliff Battlefield.
He used that signature Ninjutsu from Jiraiya fighting style in this battle.
Ninja Art: Summoning Technique
Gamabunta his appearance!
I was just summoned, and it seems this Toad is eating at this time.
Then, Gamabunta, dressed in clothes with a long sword at his waist and a deep red panel, lazily asked, " Jiraiya, is it that stinky guy again...!"
Before it could finish speaking, it sensed the movement after coming out and instinctively looked up at the sky.
Seeing the Wood Dragon charging straight at him, Gamabunta immediately dropped the food in his hand, raised his hands high to defend himself, and shouted angrily, " Jiraiya, you idiot, you tricked me again!"
Why didn't you say so sooner that you were going to fight something like this!
No sooner had it finished speaking than its palm collided with the Wood Dragon's.
"Boom!"
A sound much louder than the explosion of the fifty-pound iron ball suddenly appeared in the air.
The bottom of the cliff.
The two groups of Ninja are preparing for battle.
Upon hearing the commotion and the previous shouts, they all looked up at the sky in unison.
The cliffs on both sides are about sixty meters high.
The commotion caused by the clash of Ninjutsu between the two above reached those below.
The sound of heavy rain and the bustling noise of the campsite accompanied the noise.
The Ninja below couldn't hear anything at all!
All they knew was that their own leader was fighting the leader on the other side!
However, this time, the two creatures combined were about the same height as the cliff and collided.
The noise was still there, no matter how much the heavy rain subsided.
Those below heard it all clearly!
"Bang!"
A wooden box fell from the hands of a Konoha Ninja was holding it.
The heavy object crashed into the muddy water, immediately splashing the mud and water mixture onto the nearby Ninja.
Normally, the Ninja who let go and caused all this would definitely be blamed by those around them who suffered the consequences.
But at that moment, the Ninja, drawn by the commotion above, looked up.
Seeing the two enormous creatures above them fighting, these ordinary Ninja were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded!
What are those two things?
The first question that arose in the minds of the Ninja.
When you see that both creatures have people on their heads, the answer becomes clear!
Is the difference between Ninja Ninja really that big?
This was the question that arose again in the minds of the people below after they had figured out the first problem.
The problem wasn't just among the Genin; Chunin Jonin were also having similar thoughts!
Meanwhile, some quick-thinking individuals figured out the first question.
When the second question arose, they all looked down at the Jonin closest to them!
Several Jonin, who had also been marveling at the commotion above, were also Jonin.
Their strength gave them extremely keen senses, and they immediately detected individual gazes nearby!
Those who could guess what these people were thinking ignored them and continued to look up and observe.
Those with thin skin, like Utatane Kunio.
Noticing the questioning looks in his subordinates' eyes, he blushed and immediately shouted at the camp members who had stopped moving, "What are you looking at? The lords are fighting up there!"
"Are you still standing there? Hurry up and put your things in the designated area!"
"What are you all standing there like idiots for? Get moving!"
"A bunch of idiots, all they do is slack off!"
After reprimanding them, he watched his men get moving again.
While muttering to himself, Utatane Kunio kept glancing up at the sky.
He had never encountered a battle scenario like this before.
I had only heard from the elders in the clan that those two legendary figures fought.
At the most intense moments, they all used the Hundred-Meter-Tall Giant Form!
Although the two creatures above them were only about 20 to 30 meters in size each.
But with the addition of the rocky cliff, one can see the battle taking place above.
He could somewhat imagine what the elders in his Clan were like.
Why is there always such deep fear in his eyes when he talks about that final battle?
Spectating is prohibited.
The people in the camp below also resumed their work.
However, the Ninja, who were familiar with each other's missions, couldn't help but whisper among themselves while they were busy.
It was the noise coming from above them at that moment.
This was something they had never seen in their short Ninja careers!
Even the battles of Jonin I've witnessed before never reached the intensity of what's happening above my head right now!
On the rocky cliff.
I just summoned Gamabunta.
Standing atop his head, Jiraiya received a warm greeting from Gamabunta.
But before he could explain, the two behemoths collided instantly.
After the sound, I looked at Gamabunta's hands, which were bleeding profusely.
And the wooden body of the dragon head opposite him swung and entangled with Gamabunta!
Jiraiya, Kunai by Chakra, immediately charged towards the person standing on the dragon's head, wielding a kunai!
I used a summoning beast, while the opponent's was just a product of Chakra.
The key lies with this Wood Release Brat!
Once he is dealt with, the Wood Dragon will disappear.
As a high-ranking Toad in Mount Myōboku, Gamabunta should have no problem dealing with a creature without intelligence!
As for Gamabunta's emotions, there's no way to control them now!
I'll figure out a way to apologize after the battle is over!
The thought flashed through his mind, but he had already used the momentum to rush towards the Wood Release Brat.
"Bang!"
They leave quickly, and they come back just as quickly!
He had only just gotten close, and he still thought he could use his Taijutsu to entangle them.
To avoid Chakra in the end if you use Ninjutsu!
After all, he had fought against the Senju clan since childhood, so he was familiar with their Taijutsu.
He certainly has a fair amount of experience in dealing with these situations!
But this Wood Release Brat's punch shattered all his so-called insights into pieces.
In fact, if he hadn't reacted quickly and used his hair to defend himself and his body to deflect the force, he wouldn't have been able to do so!
His name Sage of Mount Myōboku Jiraiya, had not yet been spread.
He might just get killed on the spot by that kid's punch...!
Seeing its contractor rush towards it, it flew back at an even faster speed.
Although he swears a lot, he's Gamabunta very responsible when it comes to battle!
So, while wrestling with the Wood Dragon, it quickly stuck out its tongue.
While helping this unreliable contractor by blocking the opponent's attacks and positioning, also block this person who is about to fly away!
"Bang!"
The tip of her tongue collided with the fist of the person on the ground.
The pain immediately traveled up his tongue and into Gamabunta's brain.
Its body trembled involuntarily, causing the Wood Dragon to tighten its grip even more.
Having learned why Jiraiya had been so easily defeated, it knew exactly what it should do.
So it quickly caught Jiraiya with its tongue, which was still in pain.
After I helped stop it from flying backwards, it quickly retracted its tongue into its mouth.
It moved gently back and forth inside the mouth, using saliva to relieve the pain on its tongue!
His flying body was saved by Gamabunta's intervention.
While still in mid-air, Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and used the Substitution Technique to hide on a nearby rocky cliff!
If it weren't for Gamabunta's help, he would have had to fly away from the area covered by those Substitution Wood on the cliff.
In that situation, he could only let himself fall to the bottom of the sixty-meter-high cliff.
Then, using Ninjutsu to dodge the impact, he ran up again on foot!
He was confident he wouldn't get injured at this height.
But during this period of rising and falling...
He was fine, but Gamabunta caught in the crossfire of the Wood Dragon and Wood Release techniques.
There's a high chance they'll suffer a severe blow!
By then, they will catch up with either a weakened Gamabunta or Gamabunta who has escaped back to the Summoning Realm.
He was left to deal with it alone.
Even if he summoned another Toad, he would still be at a disadvantage!
Because Chakra is limited in weight, and to avoid damaging the body, the number of times one can consume Military Rations Pill is also limited!
At their level, as long as it's not a counter to instant kill.
So every bit of Chakra wasted in the arduous battle.
All of this is foreshadowing what's to come in the battle!
Fortunately, although Gamabunta has a foul mouth and a bad temper, his fighting instincts are sufficient!
It can help block the attack and also stop him from flying backward!
Jiraiya, having used a substitute to stand on the ground again, immediately began Hand Seals to relieve Gamabunta's predicament.
Wood Dragon top.
After the impact, Uka Senju immediately used her Superhuman Strength Technique as Jiraiya lunged at her.
However, his opponent's fighting instincts were too excellent, causing his first punch to fail to achieve its effect.
When he saw Jiraiya flying backward, he wanted to pounce on him immediately to finish him off.
But that damned Toad on the other side jumped out and blocked our way again?
There's no other way; we definitely can't catch up!
So, instead of giving Jiraiya a second punch, Uka Senju instead struck him on the Toad's tongue.
He caused me to lose such a good opportunity.
Then I need to let them know how powerful they are!
The two collided, amplified by the Superhuman Strength Technique.
The effect that Uka Senju wanted was achieved!
Although it didn't appear to cause serious injury, this punch shattered the balance between Gamabunta and Wood Dragon.
Jiraiya survived and remained on the battlefield.
But if Gamabunta wants to break away from Wood Dragon, then he will have to pay an even greater price!
So when he saw Jiraiya open his hand seals again, Hand Seals.
Knowing his purpose, Uka Senju manipulated the Wood Dragon to tighten its body and attack Gamabunta with its mouth and hands.
He jumped off the Wood Dragon and charged towards Jiraiya, who had used this method to lure him!
Taijutsu combat!
To be honest, this thing, for someone like him who is Senju, is...
No matter what kind of enemy he encountered before, he had never been afraid!
Although he chose the path of Ninjutsu, he never neglected the rigorous training of Taijutsu.
"Clang!"
The sword's name, ' Cloud Cutter, ' originates from the Senju Clan Grounds.
At this moment, under the control of its master's right hand, it slashes at the enemy's head!
The question is whether the Hand Seals can attract Wood Release.
In Jiraiya's mind, it was fifty percent!
The success of this depends on the tactical choices made by the Wood Release user at that moment.
But he, who had been observing Wood Release all along, saw it the moment it set off.
Jiraiya quickly reached for his Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist.
He took out two Kunai from them and held them up in the direction where the sword flashed!
It was only after the weapons collided.
He abandoned any thought that he could defeat his opponent using Taijutsu.
Judging by the quality of the weapons on the other side.
And what's contained in that one strike!
Don't let your weapon cause you to fail in your taijutsu against this Wood Release Brat Taijutsu; just engage him in normal combat.
That would all be a good outcome!
The first strike was blocked.
The second and third strikes, in Uka Senju's hands, were like a torrential downpour, pouring towards the enemy opposite.
"Ta-da!"
In an instant, the main theme of the battlefield changed from Ninjutsu clashes to close-quarters combat!
Uka Senju wields a single-handed sword, while her opponent wields both swords simultaneously.
Having an extra hand to hold a weapon didn't give Jiraiya any advantage in close combat.
Because once he finds an opportunity, he's prepared to use his extra hand to attack his opponent.
Then the empty left hand of the Wood Release will strike his body directly!
After each few exchanges, a deep pit would appear on the rocky cliff!
This pit is why Jiraiya gave up attacking and kept dodging backwards.
The opponent was also wearing armor, and it was armor that provided even more protection than their own.
Whether the Kunai could kill him is another matter, but he still managed to take that punch.
He's very likely going to die first!
That kind of powerful attack is something that armor simply cannot defend against!
The closer the fight gets, the more intense it becomes.
Jiraiya increasingly felt that close combat might not be a wise choice!
Unless, he plays his trump card!
But if that thing were used now, Wood Release would definitely allow them to escape immediately.
That kid on the other side isn't stupid; on the contrary, he's incredibly shameless and only cares about winning!
Using your trump card too early in this situation is a waste of your own strength.
We can only use the battlefield below as a threat once the battle begins.
That's why the Wood Release on the other side is willing to stay here and fight me!
Only in this way can his trump card be effective.
Otherwise, that thing wouldn't be effective against Wood Release that allow flight.
It really doesn't work at all!
Because they can fly, and they can run!
If you can't win, then don't fight.
However, even in his immortal Senjutsu state, there are time and limitations to its use.
Based on the current information, each use only needs to last more than ten minutes.
Without a single day of rest, it would be very difficult for him to recover from his frog-like state!
In this situation, Jiraiya could only hope for good news from Gamabunta's side of the battlefield.
Or perhaps the battle below is about to begin!
"Boom!"
His left fist slammed into Taiseki nearby.
Using this old trick again, Jiraiya was forced to retreat!
But this time, Uka Senju didn't immediately chase after him as she had before.
Including the punch, this is the fifth time he's used his Monster Strength!
Having missed five attempts, he gave up on the idea of solving the problem with a single punch.
The Wood Dragon and the Toad behind him were still locked in a stalemate, even though Gamabunta had managed to escape his previous predicament during this time.
Although the Wood Dragon lacks sentience, it is still a Wood Release creation of Uka Senju, Jonin- level ninja.
In particular, its printing was specially modified, resulting in something that instinctively fights without pain or thought.
Its lack of intelligence is a drawback, but isn't it also a strength?
At least for now, it seems that the Wood Dragon should be able to hold out until the battle begins!
Sensing this situation, Uka Senju focused most of her attention on the enemy opposite her.
The person opposite me looked very wary, even though they hadn't put on their special outfit and makeup yet.
But he already bore some resemblance to Jiraiya from later generations!
He then stopped the Chakra flowing through his body toward the Superhuman Strength Technique Meridian.
Instead, a thin blue membrane, reminiscent of the Senju style, forms on the body's surface!
Then, the previous one-handed knife grip was switched to two-handed grip!
He had a very comfortable fight today, arguably the most comfortable one he'd had since becoming Jonin!
The guy opposite is very strong, and he certainly lives up to the reputation he made in later generations.
If there weren't any hostile circumstances, he would actually quite like to be friends with them.
Firstly, it's the impression left by anime from my past life; secondly, it's because it would provide me with a decent opponent in a fight!
However, their identities naturally placed them in opposition.
This is an irreconcilable conflict!
Even Tsunade, who had a deep friendship with the other party, had to completely cut off contact under these circumstances.
Not to mention his role as the catalyst, the Senju Wood Release!
At the beginning of their hostile relationship, he even considered whether he could bring this guy on the other side to his side.
But his experiences after arriving in the Shinobi World showed him that such a thought was impossible!
In the anime from my previous life, this person did indeed leave the village and wander outside.
And at times, she revealed a hint of disappointment in that teacher!
But the Jiraiya of that time had experienced Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War, the deaths of most of his contemporaries, the departure of his companions and friends, Jiraiya of his disciples!
He had experienced too much at that time and had lost the idea of resolving disputes with people around him.
They placed all their hopes on the so-called chosen one!
Furthermore, his departure was different from that of Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Although he wanders outside, he still maintains contact with the village!
Based on these details from her past life, Uka Senju had already concluded that the other party could not change direction or remain neutral!
Adding to his personal experiences after arriving in the Shinobi World, he was even less likely to have any hope!
It's important to know that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one who gave Jiraiya a second life.
He was the one who brought Jiraiya into another world, and who changed his life!
In this situation, Jiraiya was tricked by the Senju because of his teacher.
Because teachers have another side besides being kind and approachable!
Is this all you're trying to put Jiraiya on the opposite side of Hiruzen Sarutobi?
You must understand that the Jiraiya of today has not yet experienced those things from his previous life!
Moreover, Jiraiya, despite having these experiences in his previous life, never completely Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor did he completely sever ties with the village.
At this point, can these things really make the other party turn against them?
Furthermore, Uka Senju didn't actually know what Hiruzen Sarutobi had said to his disciples!
Even Tsunade was unaware of the conversation between the three of them!
Since that incident, Tsunade has never had the chance to meet her old friends again.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya disappeared from Konoha not long after!
1 minute 50 seconds!
The countdown in my mind reached its target.
With her hands gripping the Cloud Cutter, Uka Senju, empowered by Chakra, launched another attack.
It's true that this person is standing opposite him, but he won't let that slight cause him to hold back!
Instead, it was because of the image this person had given him in his past life.
Uka Senju even thought that killing him at this moment would be a good choice!
That way, Jiraiya won't ruin the impression he left on him from the anime!
"Ta-da!"
The sound of the longsword clashing with the Kunai echoed once again atop the cliff.
Uka Senju changed her tactics, so Jiraiya had to change his fighting style accordingly.
And because the opponent abandoned the idea of killing someone with one punch, the true Nintaijutsu of the Senju was unleashed.
This meant that Jiraiya no longer as relaxed in close combat as before.
Strictly speaking, he is also Ninjutsu- type Ninja, and his Taijutsu is enough to Jonin against Senju to such an extent.
This is because he spent Jonin become a Jonin, and his Taijutsu also improved considerably during the breaks he spent training in Ninjutsu.
However, there's a situation where you need to change your Kunai after every few exchanges.
It still bothered him greatly, even because of the weapon.
He gradually fell into a disadvantageous position!
Time passed second by second.
The two battlefields atop the cliff were still embroiled in fierce fighting.
Uka Senju and Jiraiya's speeds had also slowed down somewhat compared to before.
Both of their armors now have many more scratches!
But these are all insignificant things. It will probably take a long time for both of them, who are holding back their strength, to determine a winner!
Meanwhile, the battlefield between the Wood Dragon and Gamabunta has changed drastically over time.
Previously, Gamabunta found himself in an awkward situation because of his rescue of Jiraiya.
However, after this period of entanglement, the situation of the dragon and the Toad has been reversed!
It's just that a spirit beast with a mortal body is fighting this hard with this piece of broken wood.
Covered in wounds and blood, he was exchanged for a pile of fallen debris!
From this perspective, Gamabunta suffered a significant loss!
10 seconds!
When the number in everyone's mind reaches this position.
On the distant sea.
Inside the ship that had been modified by Uka Senju's Wood Release.
The Mixed Squadron, the Wood Release Squadron, and the Merchant Ninja were all ready and stood in their assigned positions!
"Prepare your Ninjutsu!" Yoshikazu Senju shouted, standing at the front of the modified ship with a group of people who knew Water Release.
As his words fell.
More than thirty Ninja simultaneously began forming hand seals!
Most of these people are from the Senju Clan.
Water Release is a standard attribute of the Senju.
For them, it's a phrase they know by heart!
So in the final five seconds.
The High-Level Ninjutsu that appeared in the first mission in the anime is about to be completed.
Yin-Chou-Shen-Mao-Zi-Hai-You-Chou-Wu-Xu-Yin-Xu-Yin-Si-Chou-Shen-Mao
As the last second passed through everyone's hearts.
Lacking water attribute and possessing sufficient status, Inuzuka Furin shouted loudly, "Release!"
As her words fell...
More than thirty Ninja jumped onto the barrier in front of them almost simultaneously, and then threw the Ninjutsu they had prepared into the sea!
Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Dozens of the lowest-ranking Chunin simultaneously unleashed the same Ninjutsu.
Especially in such terrible rainy weather!
In less than two seconds, the three-in-one ship was within 100 meters in front of it.
The waves, already fluctuating wildly due to the weather, grew even larger.
Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave
Nearly ten Ninja stood at the stern of the ship and simultaneously released this Wind Release, which they could control at will.
They placed their palms on the sail, and the three-in-one white sail immediately billowed.
Because the modifications made to Uka Senju mostly involved the parts of the ship that were above the water.
The lower half of the boat, which hadn't been modified but only had its rigidity reinforced, began to move rapidly in the water.
