The croaking of Frog Song transformed into sound waves that enveloped the Eight-Tails in front of them. Although Jinchūriki cannot fall into Genjutsu, it does not mean that Genjutsu is completely useless against Jinchūriki.
The principle behind Jinchūriki breaking Genjutsu is actually quite simple: if Jinchūriki falls into Genjutsu, the Tailed Beast will awaken them; if Tailed Beast falls into Genjutsu, the Jinchūriki will awaken them. However, this process takes time, and there's no guarantee that the Jinchuriki will be able to awaken them.
For example, Karatachi Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, was completely controlled by Obito Uchiha using the Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu. Although Karatachi Yagura was able to perfectly control the Tailed Beast, the Genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan was too powerful, and the Three-Tails was unable to awaken its Jinchūriki.
Amidst the Frog Song of frogs, the Gamabunta tail had been tightening, lost its strength and landed on the ground with a sigh of relief. However, the red marks left all over its body by the suckers still made the Gamabunta gasp in pain.
" Gamabunta, you should go back to Mount Myōboku first. Remember to soak in Toad Oil."
"Yes."
The usually arrogant and unruly Gamabunta, however, appeared quite honest and respectful in front of the Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima.
Before leaving, however, Gamabunta glared fiercely at the Eight-Tails, then Hand Seals with his two Toad hands and spat out several giant water balls.
Water Release: Iron Cannonball.
Then, without caring whether the Ninjutsu caused any damage, it turned into white smoke with a 'bang' and disappeared, returning to Mount Myōboku.
Fukasaku Sage Shima were both amused and exasperated. This Gamabunta really did take revenge immediately; he settled his score right there and then.
However, the real battle has only just begun.
Gamabunta Bee immediately awakened the Eight-Tails from its Genjutsu. Ignoring Killer B, who had returned to the Summoning World, they targeted the tiny Jiraiya, unleashing all eight tentacles in a devastating barrage.
On Jiraiya, the Eight-Tails Gyuki sensed a familiar aura, but the memory was too distant, and the Tailed Beast ' knowledge was too vast, so he couldn't recall it for a moment.
"Little Jiraiya, are you familiar with the Amphibian Technique yet?"
Jiraiya was dodging the tentacles, nodded and said, "That's about enough. The two sages' ability to absorb Natural Energy during battle is truly admirable."
At this moment, a red mark covered Jiraiya's eyes and was spreading, which was a sign that Sage Mode was not perfect. Jiraiya's nose also turned into a rosacea-like nose similar to Toad skin.
"Now that we've adapted to Sage Mode, let's get into actual combat."
Sage Shima said somewhat anxiously, worried that the 'fresh ingredients' she had painstakingly collected would all be gone.
" Sage Art: Water Slash."
Sage Fukasaku spat out a thin stream of water. This Water Release Ninjutsu was not as imposing as Gamabunta's Iron Cannonball, but its power far surpassed it.
The Eight-Tails Gyuki's tough and flexible tentacles were neatly severed by the waterline and fell to the ground, wriggling continuously.
Having gotten rid of the cumbersome tentacles, Sage Shima seized this rare opportunity and stuck out his long tongue.
" Sage Art: Tongue Severing and Binding"
Sage Shima entangled himself around the Eight-Tails ' horns, then dragged his body, carrying Jiraiya, towards the Eight-Tails ' head.
Jiraiya opened his right hand, and Chakra gathered, swirled, and accelerated continuously within Jiraiya!
" Sage Art · Big Ball Rasengan!"
Developed by the Fourth Hokage Jiraiya Rasengan, Ninjutsu without hand seals, has reappeared in the Shinobi World.
The Big Ball Rasengan slammed into the Eight-Tails ' bull head, the violent Chakra colliding head-on with the Eight-Tails ' body. Although the Eight-Tails ' body was made of Chakra, it still felt just as much pain.
It's unclear whether the Sage of Six Paths did this to allow the Tailed Beast to live normal lives, or to instill fear in them.
Moo!~~~
The Eight-Tails' painful roar echoed across the battlefield. The Kumogakure looked anxiously at the dangerous battlefield, praying that Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B, would not suffer any mishap.
" Little Eight is angry. Good luck to you."
"Shut up!"
The Eight-Tails in its Complete Tailed Beast Transformation is essentially no different from a wild Tailed Beast. At this point, the Jinchūriki is more like someone residing inside the Tailed Beast's body. The relationship between the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beast has been reversed, so naturally only the Eight-Tails can feel pain.
Killer B was able to gloat and mock the Eight-Tails because of this; if Killer B had been hit by that attack, it would have been a miracle if he had been laughing.
The scattered blue and red Chakra gathered together, mixing into a dangerous purplish-black color. This purplish-black Chakra sphere continued to expand, growing larger and larger.
Jiraiya after the attack, dodging the Eight-Tails' wildly flailing tentacles, but the moment he saw the Tailed Beast Bomb, Jiraiya knew the situation was dire.
Although he can restrain the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki with Sage Mode, intercepting the Tailed Beast Bomb is too difficult for him. At present, the only thing Jiraiya can try is to try to interrupt the Eight-Tails ' Tailed Beast Bomb.
" Sage Fukasaku, Sage Shima, use that Ninjutsu."
The two sages, whose Chakra was connected to Jiraiya's, understood Jiraiya's thoughts almost instantly.
The two frogs simultaneously began Hand Seals, their Chakra surging and surging.
" Sage Art: Five Right Gatekeepers!"
Fire Style, Wind Release, and Toad Oil —three different Ninjutsu attributes combined together—resulted in an unusually powerful and wide-ranging Ninjutsu. The Fire Style and Toad Oil burned intensely together, and with the help of the Wind Release's wind, they directly covered most of the Eight-Tails ' body.
Just then, an east wind blew across the battlefield. Normally, this wouldn't have mattered, but at this moment, the Eight-Tails' entire body was covered in burning Toad Oil.
The small fire instantly flared up, and the intense pain caused the Eight-Tails to abandon its plan to build up the Tailed Beast Bomb. With a fierce look in its eyes, it aimed the half-formed Tailed Beast Bomb at Jiraiya and launched it.
This unstable Tailed Beast Bomb is very easy to explode and its power is also unstable, but it is the most suitable to use against Jiraiya at this time. Given the range of the Tailed Beast Bomb's explosion, Jiraiya will definitely not be able to dodge it!
But after finishing charging up, the Eight-Tails still has to deal with the Toad Oil and flames all over its body. If it is defeated by a single Fire Style, that would be a disgrace to the Tailed Beast.
However, the Eight-Tails Gyuki, couldn't use Ninjutsu, and Killer B only knew Lightning Release. The Eight-Tails couldn't Water Release to wash away the maggot-like Toad Oil that was possessing it, so it could only roll around on the spot, trying to extinguish the flames.
In just a short while, the enormous Eight-Tails emitted a delicious aroma of roasted meat, clearly indicating that its newly regenerated Eight-Tails had been cooked by Fire Style...
Jiraiya watched the Tailed Beast Bomb approaching, its speed so fast that there was no way to dodge it. Death was imminent, but Jiraiya's eyes remained calm. He simply looked apologetically at Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima on his shoulders.
"I've implicated the two immortals, but hopefully it's not too late. Summoning Technique - Release!"
"Little Jiraiya..."
The two immortals looked at Jiraiya with tears in their eyes. This lecherous middle-aged man, now weathered and worn, was someone they had watched grow up from a boy...
