On the other side, after his initial surprise, Jiraiya quickly calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart. He realized that he should not be surprised now, but should find a solution as soon as possible.
Judging from what just happened, ordinary Ninjutsu really can't deal with such a monstrous Setsugetsu. And at this moment, his Chakra is also running low. In order not to be defeated by Setsugetsu, he must use more of his strength.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya's leg muscles tensed up, and then he jumped suddenly.
This leap reached a height of tens of meters, landing back on Gamabunta's head.
After returning to Gamabunta's head, Jiraiya looked down at Gamabunta and said, " Gamabunta, the enemy's moves are very strange. I'm not confident I can defeat her using ordinary methods, so I'll have to use that."
After exchanging a few blows with Setsugetsu, the battle-hardened Jiraiya had already discerned a clue from Setsugetsu's strange Kekkei Genkai. The secret technique that could grant immunity to ordinary Ninjutsu attacks was very similar to the Hydrification Technique of the Hozuki Clan in Kirigakure.
Jiraiya could confidently handle ordinary Hydrification Technique, but this ice-based technique was something he was truly helpless against.
Only one trump card might bring him victory.
Although he wasn't very good at using this technique, he had no other choice; he had to do it for the sake of Konoha.
Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Gamabunta, the Gamabunta beneath his feet, immediately understood what Jiraiya meant. He tapped his Toad head and said earnestly, "Has the situation become that critical? I understand. Jiraiya, just go for it. I'll hold the enemy back."
After saying that, he raised the short knife in his hand again and placed it horizontally in front of his chest.
"Thanks, brother. It's all up to you now. Please be careful."
After Jiraiya responded to Gamabunta, he didn't hesitate. He put his index and middle fingers together and swiped them under his eyes, then immediately clasped his hands together.
In an instant, countless Natural Energy began to surge towards Jiraiya was standing atop Gamabunta's head.
When Setsugetsu saw Jiraiya adopt this stance, her eyes narrowed, and she thought to herself, "This pose? Sage Mode? I can't let Jiraiya use such a dangerous technique, or this will never end."
With this thought in mind, Setsugetsu raised her hand and conjured countless frozen Kunai, then swung them down again.
In an instant, the countless ice Kunai, resembling a multitude of ants, flashed with a cold light Jiraiya.
Setsugetsu's idea was good; she wanted to force Jiraiya to give up gathering Senjutsu Chakra with an astonishing number of attacks, but she forgot that Jiraiya had a super powerful ally.
Faced with so many flying ice attacks, Gamabunta immediately brandished his short sword.
For a moment, the sounds of clanging and banging filled the air.
Even more astonishing was Gamabunta's impenetrable wielding of his short swords; even a large number of ice Kunai couldn't break through his defenses to attack Jiraiya above his head.
Seeing Gamabunta working so hard, Setsugetsu sighed heavily. It seemed that some simple moves wouldn't be able to interrupt Jiraiya, but she couldn't go too far, lest she accidentally kill Gamabunta. It was a real dilemma.
If only Jiraiya had let Aizen, she would have been fine. Right now, she and Jörmungandr fighting Jiraiya and Minato to the death, while Aizen is enjoying a peaceful life with the Konoha Ninja. It's truly enviable.
But it's too late to be envious now; we should hurry up and interrupt Jiraiya's Sage Mode.
Thinking of this, Setsugetsu's Chakra began to circulate wildly, and the icy ground beneath her feet began to tremble violently.
Meanwhile, the sound of ice shattering kept ringing out.
Immediately afterwards, Setsugetsu's body continued to rise, and as she rose, countless Setsugetsu blocks began to gather around her.
One meter, five meters, fifteen meters, thirty meters, fifty meters.
The ice blocks gathering around the Setsugetsu grew larger and larger, transforming into humanoid giants.
Finally, a colossal, pure white Ice and Snow Valkyrie stood atop the battlefield.
This Valkyrie is clad in a snow-white battle robe, with a pair of ice crystal wings that blot out the sky on her back, and a completely transparent ice blade at her waist. She is also a head taller than Gamabunta. Her mere size is enough to give her enemies an unparalleled sense of oppression.
" Ice Release: Ice God Armament "
This powerful Ice and Snow War God was developed by Setsugetsu to rival the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, Susanoo Complete Body.
The goal is to be able to rival Susanoo, so as not to be helpless when facing the Mangekyō of the Uchiha Clan. Of course, it also fulfills Setsugetsu's wish to pilot a Gundam.
However, this first use of the ability left everyone on the battlefield dumbfounded.
"What kind of power is this?"
The appearance of this Ice and Snow Valkyrie left Jiraiya and Gamabunta dumbfounded, and even Minato, who was fighting Jörmungandr in the distance, was astonished.
There was no way around it; this defeat was simply too outrageous. In an era where the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan Susanoo completely disappeared, they had never seen such godlike power before.
No, it's not that he's never seen it before. Jiraiya witnessed Kōki using the Wood Human Technique a few days ago, and it was exactly the same scene he was seeing this Valkyrie now.
They were all filled with boundless power, giving people a strong sense of despair.
At this moment, Setsugetsu stood on the diamond-shaped crystal on the forehead of the Ice and Snow Valkyrie, controlling everything about the Valkyrie.
The unique visual experience of looking down from a high vantage point, surveying all the mountains below, makes everything in the world seem as insignificant as ants, easily crushable, which can indeed ignite an endless sense of arrogance in a ninja.
At that moment, she began to understand why the Uchiha Clan was so spontaneous and proud. Anyone with such extraordinary abilities would be incredibly proud.
Unlike Setsugetsu, who was immersed in the power of the Valkyrie, Jiraiya and Gamabunta had tense eyes, with Gamabunta even subconsciously tightening his grip on his short sword.
Jiraiya almost couldn't even maintain his Sage Mode stance. There was no way around it; the sudden appearance of this Ice and Snow Valkyrie put too much pressure on them.
" Gamabunta, how are you? Can you still hold on?" Jiraiya couldn't help but ask Gamabunta, who was standing at his feet. He saw beads of sweat on Gamabunta's forehead and the rashes on his back had gotten bigger. He knew that Gamabunta was under a lot of pressure.
" Jiraiya, all I can say is that I'll do my best."
At this moment, Gamabunta's words no longer carried the confidence he had when he first agreed to Jiraiya's request. Whether he could withstand Setsugetsu's Ice and Snow Valkyrie would depend on the effectiveness of his desperate efforts.
