When Poor, Use Tactics; When Rich, Bombard Away

"Oh dear, Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta!"

Tsunade, watching from afar, chuckled softly.

"Is this Sannin 'Jiraiya summoning beast?"

Karin blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.

"However, Wood Release is the best counter to these kinds of large summoning beasts, isn't it?"

Shizune hugged Tonton and said with a smile.

Logically speaking, the power of Rikuto's Wood Release, even if not as strong as it is, is quite close to that of the First Hokage.

Even a summoning beast like Gamabunta.

It shouldn't be possible to stop it.

"Didn't you notice? Shizune..."

Tsunade curled her lip, "That Rikuto, he's obviously doing it on purpose..."

"After all, they're not real enemies, so killing them directly is a bit of a constraint!"

"From the very beginning, he wanted to make Jiraiya use all his skills, and then completely overwhelm him with his own power, leaving him utterly helpless and utterly defeating him both physically and mentally!"

"Otherwise, do you think Jiraiya could have survived this long without knowing any real information about Rikuto?"

"That kid is wicked!"

"..."

Shizune and Karin bewildered glances.

Based on their understanding of the Rikuto.

It seems quite possible.

"Jiraiya, what's going on?"

At this time.

The smoke dissipated in the ravaged forest.

A giant Toad, puffing on a pipe, appeared there, its voice booming like thunder, and said gruffly, "You actually summoned me to a place like this?"

But the next moment-

The vines were numerous, as if they were alive.

It grew wildly there, coiling towards the enormous Gamabunta.

"This is... Wood Release?"

Gamabunta was stunned.

If it remembers correctly.

Apart from the First Hokage, no one else in the entire Shinobi World has mastered Wood Release.

"There's no time to explain..."

The Rikuto continued to manipulate the vines to entwine themselves around the landing site.

Jiraiya shouted, "Gamabunta, step back and leave this forest..."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words...

Although he liked to complain, Gamabunta, who had always worked well with him, naturally did not hesitate.

Its powerful hind legs pressed down sharply.

He leaped up.

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, a powerful wind pressure was generated.

The enormous beast leaped backward.

A small portion of the vines that had wrapped around the tree were torn off and freed.

"Bang..."

The earth trembled, and billowing smoke and dust filled the air.

Gamabunta landed over a hundred meters away, out of the forest.

"Jiraiya, what's going on?" Gamabunta asked, somewhat puzzled, gazing at the lush, verdant forest. "Wood Release? I remember that's a technique unique to the First Hokage, right?"

"That brat is Tsunade's disciple, and apparently a descendant of the Senju, having awakened the First Hokage's Wood Release..."

Jiraiya offered an explanation there.

Looking at the empty surroundings, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "At least we're finally out of that dangerous area!"

"What? Tsunade's disciple?"

Gazing at the unusually young-looking Rikuto in the distance, Gamabunta exclaimed in surprise, "You're utterly useless! A mere brat has managed to make you look so pathetic..."

"Call..."

Jiraiya wiped his sweat.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate him. His Chakra reserves are ridiculously large, and his control over Wood Release is even better than the First Hokage's. In fact, he doesn't even need Hand Seals for most of his Ninjutsu!"

As he spoke.

He didn't give Gamabunta chance.

Staring at the forest ahead, he shouted, "Enough of this, Gamabunta, use the oil..."

"Burn them all in one go!"

"Good!"

Gamabunta stopped wasting time.

He took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully.

A large amount of Toad Oil gushed out like a giant column of water.

Jiraiya also finished his Hand Seals there, unleashing a powerful burst of flames. "Fire Style: Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!!"

A large amount of oil.

It was ignited instantly.

It transformed into an intensely fiery Kakkō, distorting the very atmosphere.

It swept in from all directions, surging towards the forest.

They were determined to burn it to the ground in one fell swoop.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

However.

The next moment.

In a lush forest.

One after another, the morning glories had shifted their direction, all pointing towards the direction where Gamabunta was.

Numerous water dragons roared one after another.

Towards the intense Kakkō.

It came crashing down.

"...Boom... Boom..."

"Sizzle..."

The deafening roar shook the heavens.

The intense Kakkō collided with the massive flow of water.

A powerful burst of wind pressure made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Large plumes of steam filled the air there.

The heat was intense.

"What?"

Upon witnessing this scene...

Gamabunta startled.

Somewhat incredulous, their invincible combination of moves with Jiraiya had been so easily stopped.

Is it blocked?

Jiraiya's expression turned serious.

"Jiraiya, do you think you can escape the forest so easily with just that giant Toad?"

Giant vines supported the Rikuto.

It moved like a giant serpent, arriving at the front of the forest.

He stood facing Jiraiya was perched on Gamabunta's back, his face filled with solemnity.

With a relaxed expression, Rikuto, arms crossed, smiled and said, "Some flashy moves ultimately need an open space and a sufficiently dazzling opponent to be truly spectacular!"

"Don't underestimate me, kid!"

Gamabunta, who is known for his bad temper and doesn't Jiraiya give much respect to his contractor Jiraiya, was angered by Rikuto's arrogance.

It suddenly leaped up.

The two claws Hand Seals there.

He suddenly spat out. "Water Release: Water Bullet!"

"Call out--"

A sharp, piercing sound whistled through the air.

A giant water sphere shot out of its mouth.

Carrying astonishing power, it fiercely blasted towards the Rikuto in front of it.

"So, how about this, seven?"

Rikuto's expression remained unchanged.

It grew from a large number of vines.

Morning glories bloomed there, one after another.

Under the incredulous and horrified gazes of Jiraiya and Gamabunta.

The multicolored light was dazzling.

They unleashed a devastating barrage of attacks in unison, like lightning.

"Five Elements: Great Consecutive Bullets Technique!"

"Boom... Boom..."

Chapter 89 When poor, employ tactical infiltration; when rich, unleash devastating bombardment.

"Boom boom..."

A giant water sphere.

It was shattered like a house of cards.

Its momentum remained undiminished, striking Gamabunta directly.

Even though it didn't quite achieve the perfect fusion of two different Chakra Nature Transformation like Kekkei Genkai.

However, the combined power of the five ninjutsu far surpasses that of ordinary single-attribute Ninjutsu, reaching the level of an S-rank Forbidden Techniques.

It was far beyond what Gamabunta's Water Bullet could withstand.

"Ahhh..."
