Jiraiya's eyes hardened, and his Chakra began to circulate rapidly within his body. Then, his hands began to form hand Hand Seals at lightning speed, followed by a downward bow of his head.
"Ninja Art - Wild Lion's Mane Technique "
He used this technique primarily to test Setsugetsu's abilities; otherwise, he would have used other, more powerful methods to attack. However, a strange situation arose.
Suddenly, his white hair grew longer, twisting and turning in the air like a long white whip, and then it was tied to Setsugetsu.
But a strange thing happened: this simple attack bound Setsugetsu, who couldn't dodge in time. No, it shouldn't be said that she couldn't dodge; Setsugetsu didn't dodge at all. She willingly allowed Jiraiya's white hair.
Because Jiraiya's entire series of actions were seen by Setsugetsu, she could easily dodge the white hair that was striking her like a long whip if she wanted to, but she did not stop him or make any dodging movements, and remained standing quietly.
The only change was that her previously indifferent gaze transformed into one of curiosity. She wanted to see Jiraiya's techniques.
Seeing that Setsugetsu didn't dodge or evade his attack, exuding contempt, Jiraiya was initially angry, but quickly regained his composure, knowing that anger would do him no good. However, this didn't mean he would acknowledge Setsugetsu's disdain.
He then controlled the white hair on his head to slowly shrink back, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Setsugetsu, and said, "I'll ask you one more time: who exactly are you? What are your abilities? What is the purpose of your Light Organization? If you don't answer, my white hair will gradually tear you apart."
Jiraiya's Wild Lion's Mane Technique is quite powerful. Each strand of his white hair, nourished by Chakra, is filled with unbridled willfulness. Such powerful white hair, when gathered together, can easily crush rocks. As for flesh, which is softer than rock, it is even less of a problem. Therefore Jiraiya was not joking when he told Setsugetsu; his white hair really does have the power to crush her.
Despite Jiraiya's threat, Setsugetsu remained unmoved, continuing to stare at Jiraiya curiously. Her nonchalant demeanor seemed to tell Jiraiya that she was not afraid and that he should try to take action.
Even Jiraiya, with his good temper, couldn't tolerate Setsugetsu's silent provocation.
He immediately tightened the white hair binding Setsugetsu.
Then a "crack" was heard, like the crisp sound of a hard object breaking. Jiraiya looked at Setsugetsu's body.
He was disappointed, however; the expected scenario of tearing Setsugetsu's body apart did not occur, only the ice shattered.
"It's happening again!" Jiraiya thought to himself upon seeing this.
The area where Setsugetsu was entangled by Jiraiya's white hair had completely turned into ice, and the ice was cracked noticeably from the hair's movements. Setsugetsu remained silent, so Jiraiya knew that the attack hadn't caused her any harm.
Of course, not fighting back when attacked is not in her nature.
Under Jiraiya's gaze, Setsugetsu's entire body turned into ice. In an instant, a chilling aura surged, and a bone-chilling frost burst forth from Setsugetsu's body, freezing the white hair that was wrapped around her body in the blink of an eye, and then freezing towards the source of the white hair.
Jiraiya reacted quickly. Knowing the power of Setsugetsu aura, he immediately released the Wild Lion's Mane Technique and then forcefully ripped the connection between Setsugetsu's white hair and his body.
Without Jiraiya's Chakra support, the frozen white hairs lost their initial resilience, and Setsugetsu tore them all off with a slight effort.
Then, a cracking sound rang out at Setsugetsu's feet, and the white hair, frozen into ice, fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
After breaking free of her restraints, Setsugetsu transformed back from her icy form into her original flesh and blood body. She was still wearing that white robe, still as clean and tidy as ever, without a single wrinkle. It was as if Jiraiya's attack had been useless, failing to truly harm Setsugetsu in the slightest.
The fact that his attacks missed twice in a row led Jiraiya to speculate about Setsugetsu's special Kekkei Genkai.
His extensive knowledge seemed to have led him to discover that Setsugetsu's ability was very similar to the unique ability of a major clan in Kirigakure. So he continued to test the waters.
A long, drawn-out breath escaped Jiraiya's lips, followed by his chest bulging high and expanding to its maximum, then he exhaled forcefully, " Fire Style: Dragon Fire!"
With a whoosh, a fiery dragon so hot it was blinding spewed from Jiraiya's mouth, roaring wildly as it charged toward Setsugetsu.
Gazing at the fiery dragon that had turned the sky crimson, Setsugetsu's eyes narrowed. Such Fire Style Technique might already pose a threat to her, but she remained unmoved. A crazy idea swirled in her mind: to test the limits of her Ice Release.
To Jiraiya's astonishment, Setsugetsu's entire body transformed into a block of icy ice, and she collided head-on with the blazing fire dragon that was attacking her.
At this moment, even the well-informed Jiya was stunned by Setsugetsu's crazy behavior.
He couldn't believe that anyone would actually try to withstand Fire Style with such immense power.
You have to understand, his Fire Style has A-rank power, burning trees to ashes in the blink of an eye. Yet someone dared to be so audacious as to try to confront such Fire Style head-on. For a moment, he wondered if Setsugetsu had lost her mind, doing something so foolish.
As expected, the collision between Setsugetsu and Fire Dragon Jiraiya Snow Moon disappearing completely.
At this moment, the battlefield ravaged by the fire dragon had no trace of Setsugetsu; the only remaining thing was a pool of steaming hot water. The fact that hot water could remain even at such a high temperature was truly a terrifying Ice Release.
Jiraiya shook his head, Jiraiya at the puddle of water left by the melting ice. A hint of regret appeared on his face. What was originally a very formidable opponent had ended up defeating him; it was truly a pity.
So he turned and headed towards Aizen, but Jiraiya had just turned around.
He heard a "crackling" sound behind him, and the sudden noise startled him so much that he immediately turned around. He saw that the water stains on the ground suddenly began to freeze into ice, and in the blink of an eye, the ice blocks actually reformed into a human shape. And this person made of ice blocks was none other than Setsugetsu, who had disappeared in the fire dragon.
"What?!" Looking at the resurrected Setsugetsu, Jiraiya truly couldn't understand. How could Kekkei Genkai limit be so powerful? Even after being burned to ashes by flames, it could still reform. Was this still the Shinobi World he knew?
At this moment, Setsugetsu, who had successfully materialized and withstood the flame damage head-on, revealed a satisfied smile beneath her mask. Clearly, she was very pleased with the results of this experiment. Being able to withstand an A-rank Fire Style meant that Ice Release truly had no obvious weaknesses.
