Jiraiya is severely injured, and he fights fiercely against Minato Namikaze!
Chapter 99 Jiraiya is severely injured, and he fights fiercely against Minato Namikaze!
Jiraiya let out a low roar, clenched his right fist, and concentrated highly concentrated Sage Chakra and natural energy on the knuckles. Without any fancy moves, he punched Susanoo's knee joint.
"Close combat?!"
"court death!"
Makoto Koji frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that Jiraiya would dare to engage in close combat with Susanoo.
The Susanoo's massive chakra arm clenched its fist without hesitation, and with overwhelming power, slammed down on the tiny Jiraiya below.
"Immortal Technique: Lion's Mane Technique!"
What should have been a series of punches clashing was instead interrupted by Jiraiya's hair suddenly growing longer and wrapping around Susanoo's arm, causing him to suddenly lunge in front of Susanoo.
Then, a powerful punch!
boom!
Jiraiya's fist slammed into Susanoo's knee joint.
Makoto Kariju felt his eye power maintaining Susanoo suddenly falter, and the light on the knee of the massive chakra giant dimmed abruptly, even revealing a tiny, spiderweb-like crack!
Even the third stage of Susanoo would be damaged with the support of Sage Chakra!
"Tsk!"
With a sharp look in his eyes, Makoto Kujirai immediately activated more of his eye power to repair the damage to his knee. At the same time, the other huge chakra arm of Susanoo swept across at an even faster speed, its five fingers spread wide like a collapsing mountain, aiming to crush Jiraiya in its palm.
But at that very moment, Fukasaku, the sage on Jiraiya's shoulder, unleashed a whirlwind that slashed at Susanoo's fist, causing it to tremble and even threatening to shatter!
"Now!"
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he transformed his fist into a palm.
The highly compressed, high-speed rotating chakra sphere instantly took shape and bombarded the joint that had already appeared.
"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"
The space around the sphere was slightly distorted by the enormous energy, emitting a heart-pounding hum.
The next moment, the Sage Art Rasengan slammed into the joint of Susanoo, and the violent force shattered Susanoo's defense, revealing Makoto Karatachi's figure inside.
"Boss, leader!"
"Celestial Art: Frog Croak!"
"Verbal Battle Slash!"
Shima the Hermit sang loudly, and the sharp, piercing croaking of frogs echoed within Susanoo.
At the same time, Fukasaku's tongue, amplified by Sage Chakra, stretched infinitely, like a swift blade, and rapidly attacked Makoto Karatachi.
Faced with the combined magical attacks of the two immortals working in perfect harmony, Gouju Cheng felt a great alarm bell ring in his heart.
The sharp, piercing croaking of the frog by Sage Shima was not a simple physical sound wave attack. It also contained highly condensed Sage Chakra and mental interference. Even through the defense of Susanoo, it was like countless fine needles piercing Makoto's eardrums and brain.
For a moment, he felt a ringing in his ears and the scenery before his eyes swayed slightly. His eye power and chakra output for maintaining Susanoo were significantly interfered with and slowed down!
"Illusionary interference?!"
Gouju Cheng immediately realized the power of the frog's croaking and felt a chill run down his spine.
The sound illusion enhanced by his magical powers was extremely powerful; even with his kaleidoscope, the effect was still remarkable.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Fukasaku's tongue, amplified by Sage Chakra and transformed into a steel whip with sharp, knife-like edges, broke through the defenses of Susanoo's damaged joints and pierced straight for Makoto's throat with lightning speed!
The timing, angle, and coordination were all exquisite!
The combat experience of the two immortals was on full display at this moment.
Their seemingly simple and direct attacks were actually intricately linked, precisely seizing the moment when Makoto's defenses were breached and his mind was disturbed, delivering a fatal combo.
Ordinary ninjas, even Kage-level powerhouses, would likely be severely injured or killed if faced with such a deadly combination!
however.
"Kamui!"
Just as his tongue was about to pierce his throat, the kaleidoscope pattern in Makoto's eyes suddenly reversed direction.
Fukasaku's incredibly sharp tongue pierced through Makoto Karatachi's neck without any resistance, as if piercing through nothingness, without even drawing a drop of blood.
Perfect blurring!
"What?!"
The immortal's pupils contracted.
He felt it; the moment his tongue pierced the target's neck, it didn't touch anything at all, but simply went straight through.
"Boss, be careful! His kaleidoscope eye technique is a space-time technique. It can not only release distorted space to attack, but also allow him to enter another dimension, thus becoming immune to all attacks!"
"I saw it!"
Fukasaku Immortal's eyes slightly condensed.
Although he was shocked by Gouju Makoto's space-time technique, as a sage, he had seen all sorts of methods before.
If they're immune to physical attacks, then let's use mental attacks!
"Old woman, use that move!"
"what?"
Master Shima blushed: "There are so many people here, old man—"
Before the two toads could discuss it, the ethereal Gouju Cheng suddenly soared into the sky, instantly widening the distance between himself and the ground below.
The two immortals were both startled.
"Little Jiraiya, he's flying!"
"asshole!"
Jiraiya roared in anger, but could only watch as Makoto Kujira flew away.
The ability to fly is extremely rare in the ninja world, and very few ninjas can master it.
Although the two toads were supposedly immortals, they were limited by their species and did not have the ability to fly, so they could only stare helplessly at each other.
Jiraiya also lacked the ability to fly.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Makoto Karatachi's Mangekyou Sharingan time had ended. He could fly to save his life, but what about the others in Kirigakure?
"Go ahead and fly! I'd like to see who in Kirigakure can stop me without you!"
"Wait, something fell!"
Jiraiya was preparing to leap into the air, unleashing a carnage like a tiger among sheep.
Just then, Fukasaku seemed to sense something and suddenly spoke up to warn him.
Jiraiya subconsciously looked up and saw a dark crystal with an explosive tag attached fall from the sky and land beside him.
"What is that? It looks like one of those explosive talismans you humans have stuck on it!"
"What?! Wait, could it be?!"
Jiraiya's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the jet-black crystal with a look of terror on his face.
The next moment, the detonator exploded with a loud bang, and the crystal seemed to be activated, with an extremely terrifying energy suddenly bursting out from it!
"Immortal Technique: Needle Earth Treasury!"
Jiraiya's fighting instincts were pushed to the limit, and his full head of white hair instantly hardened and grew wildly, like countless steel needles wrapping around himself and the two sages on his shoulders, attempting to form an absolute defense.
At the same time, Fukasaku and Shima Sage did not hesitate and simultaneously formed hand seals, releasing a surge of dense Sage Chakra that poured into Jiraiya's defenses in an attempt to reinforce them.
however.
That suffocatingly violent power suddenly surged forth from within, rushing outwards in all directions without any blind spots!
The first to come into contact with this power was naturally Jiraiya, who was right next to him and had his white hair hardened like steel needles as a defense.
Faced with pure, brute force, which could withstand most ninjutsu, the Needle Jizo, enhanced by Sage Chakra, was crushed and disintegrated instantly like fragile glass!
The white hair broke off inch by inch, turning into dust.
"Ugh!!"
Jiraiya only had time to let out a short groan before his arm bones cracked under the strain, and he was sent flying backward at an even greater speed than when he arrived, as if he had been hit head-on by an invisible high-speed train.
He vomited blood, which drew a shocking blood trail in the air.
The terrifying repulsive force did not stop, continuing to act on his body. His chest cavity caved in, several ribs were broken, his internal organs were violently impacted, and the sage chakra in his meridians was thrown into chaos by this tyrannical force.
"Little Jiraiya!!"
Fukasaku and Shima Senjin's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.
Because the two frogs were on Jiraiya's shoulder due to the use of the Twin Rebirth Technique, and because they were relatively small, the impact was dispersed. However, they were still blown away along with Jiraiya.
Jiraiya crashed heavily into a pile of rubble behind him like a rag doll, making a dull thud and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Jiraiya, how are you?!"
Fukasaku and Shima called out urgently, while Jiraiya channeled Sage Chakra to stabilize his injuries.
Jiraiya struggled to prop himself up amidst the pile of stones, spitting out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
His right arm had disappeared, there was a dent in his chest, and his breath was extremely weak.
"He's not going to die yet—"
Jiraiya coughed up a mouthful of blood, enduring the excruciating pain, and looked up at the sky.
The destructive power that erupted just now far exceeded his imagination.
If he hadn't used the Immortal Technique: Needle Earth Treasury in time, and hadn't received the full support of two immortals, he would probably have been blasted into mincemeat by now!
Even so, he still suffered multiple fractures in his bones, internal organ damage, disordered chakra pathways, and his entire right arm was destroyed, leaving him severely injured.
"So this is what destroyed the Cangnan supply station and the Fengming Valley transit station? This is really troublesome."
This kid from the Hidden Mist Village not only possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and space-time ninjutsu, but also has a special crystal capable of creating such a terrifying explosion.
What kind of monster is he?!
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of Makoto Karatachi anywhere.
In the distant bushes.
Having already descended from the sky, and having somehow produced an ANBU mask to wear on his face, Makoto Karatachi looked at Jiraiya in the distance with a slight frown.
He hadn't expected Jiraiya's defensive capabilities to be so strong. He had withstood the instantaneous explosion of Shinra Tensei at point-blank range, along with the massive explosion of the Asura Path missile!
Not bad.
The previous explosion was not Grell's Stone, but rather a skill effect similar to an explosion created by Makoto Karatachi using his Limbo clone.
"My chakra is almost depleted—"
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Makoto Kojiki abruptly raised his head and looked at the bushes beside him.
Accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, several kunai were shot at, at extremely tricky angles.
Gouju Cheng raised his hand and shot out several black rods, knocking down all the kunai. But the next moment, a golden light flashed and appeared without warning at the location where the kunai was!
Minato Namikaze?!
Gouju Cheng's pupils contracted sharply; he recognized the newcomer almost the instant the other person appeared.
He had dazzling and rare blond hair, eyes as blue as a clear sky, a young and handsome face, and was dressed in the standard Konoha Jonin uniform.
Konoha's Golden Flash, Minato Namikaze!
Wasn't this guy supposed to be in the Iwagakure battlefield? How did he end up here?!
Gouju Cheng's mind raced, but his body had already reacted instinctively.
"Shinra Tensei!"
I've seen plenty of people use the super armor Rasengan at the start, so my reaction time is that fast!
The instant Minato Namikaze appeared at the location of the kunai, the blue orb in his hand, condensed with highly compressed chakra and spinning at high speed like a small typhoon, slammed down hard onto Makoto Karatachi's chest.
Rasengan!
However, this golden, swift attack didn't even touch Makoto Goji's body.
A powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted, shoving everything around it.
"What?!"
A look of astonishment appeared in Minato Namikaze's eyes.
But before the repulsive force could fully erupt, his figure had already disappeared from the spot, landing on a rock, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Makoto Koji.
What kind of power was that just now!
According to intelligence, this guy possesses the power of replicating bloodlines.
Two of his bloodline abilities are two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan and one pair of space-time eye techniques, which can be used to perform long-range space-time ninjutsu attacks and also to make himself intangible.
The other pair of Mangekyou Sharingan has unknown abilities, but it previously revealed the ability to absorb chakra. Could it be that the repulsive force at this moment is another ability of the other pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, or perhaps a third bloodline ability that it has been hiding all along?
wrong.
Both of these Mangekyou Sharingan should still be in cooldown period, which means this should be the third bloodline ability.
Despite the lack of intelligence, this did not affect Minato Namikaze's determination to fight.
With both Mangekyou Sharingan on cooldown, this is a rare opportunity, and he must seize it to capture or kill the greatest threat from Kirigakure, who has repeatedly destroyed important logistical nodes of Konoha, severely injured Jiraiya-sensei, and possesses the ability to copy bloodlines!
Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed, and his hands flew, sending several specially made Flying Thunder God kunai flying like a shower of flowers from different angles toward the open space, trees, and rocks around Makoto Karatachi.
The seemingly chaotic landing points of the kunai actually blocked all possible directions of movement and dodge for Makoto Kouju.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The moment the kunai hit the ground, Minato's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
In the next instant, he appeared as if teleported to the left rear of Makoto Karatachi, next to a kunai. The Rasengan in his hand condensed again and struck Makoto Karatachi directly in the back of the heart.
The speed is unbelievable!
This is the terrifying aspect of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As long as there is a marker, instantaneous movement can be achieved regardless of distance, and the angle and timing of the attack are difficult to predict.
However, Makoto Kujiri's reaction was equally surprising.
The Rinnegan's keen perception allowed him to clearly pinpoint the landing point of each Flying Thunder God Kunai, and he locked onto Minato Namikaze the moment he appeared.
"The Path of Asura!"
Gouju murmured inwardly, the patterns of his Rinnegan beneath his mask gleaming faintly.
His body changed in an instant; his clothes tore open on his back, and several thick metal arms covered with intricate patterns suddenly stretched out, grabbing Minato Namikaze's wrist with one hand.
Asura Path - Strange Arm Rocket!
This is a mechanical modification ability controlled by the Rinnegan, based on chakra and incorporating special substances, capable of transforming the body into a terrifying humanoid weapon.
Faced with Minato Namikaze's unpredictable Flying Thunder God Technique, ranged attacks and probing are meaningless; the best way to deal with it is...
Melee combat counters melee combat!
"What?!"
Minato Namikaze was shocked; he never imagined that a living human body would turn into this.
Is this guy not an ordinary human, but a cyborg puppet from Sunagakure?!
Minato Namikaze had never been to the Sunagakure battlefield, but he had read the battle reports from there. It was said that there were some extreme puppeteers there who were driven to desperation by Konoha, and they would create special human puppets, or even transform themselves into human puppets.
Could it be that Gouju Cheng also did this?
The rockets fired, but Makoto felt his palm suddenly empty; Minato Namikaze's figure had vanished.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
This is not a Naruto mobile game.
Unless Minato Namikaze is sealed directly, or a special barrier technique is used.
Otherwise, let alone capturing it by force, even if it were Kamui or Kenshin, this guy could still escape!
Just as the rocket launcher missed its target, Minato Namikaze suddenly reappeared beside Makoto Karutachi. A bright blue ball of light, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, descended from the sky and struck Makoto Karutachi's crown.
"Rasengan!"
"That troublesome guy—"
Gouju Makoto frowned slightly, and the Shinra Tensei began again!
hum!
A small-scale repulsive force erupted centered on Makoto Karatachi, blocking the Rasengan.
But Minato Namikaze's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared again.
You! Your mother!
After a while, Makoto Goji was getting increasingly annoyed by Minato Namikaze.
This blond guy's fighting style was too flexible, giving him no chance to engage in close combat. He kept using the Flying Thunder God Technique to fight a guerrilla war, wearing down his chakra and energy.
Moreover, in that brief moment of contact, he had already sensed Minato Namikaze's terrifying fighting instincts and reaction speed.
The fact that he could activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape the instant his Asura Path arm grabbed him shows that his reaction and decisiveness are absolutely top-notch!
Moreover, the opponent was clearly observing and analyzing his abilities, engaging in a drawn-out battle.
The battles of ninjas are ultimately battles of intelligence. The reason he is so secretive is to prevent the information about his replication of the Rinnegan from being overly exposed and noticed by those with ulterior motives.
If something goes wrong because of this blond guy, Makoto Kouju would absolutely not accept it.
If Jiraiya hadn't already used up most of his chakra, Makoto would have even considered transforming into the terrifying Great Striker.
Never mind, I have to take this guy down!
"Flying Thunder God Technique—"
The ripples of the Rinnegan in Makoto's eyes shifted slightly as he scanned the scattered Flying Thunder God kunai around him.
The core of the Flying Thunder God Technique is marking.
As long as Minato Namikaze leaves a Flying Thunder God Technique seal in a certain location, he can instantly teleport to that location, regardless of distance.
These specially made kunai were his coordinates for movement.
In other words—
Just as Minato Namikaze disappeared from one kunai and was about to reappear next to another, he was about to disappear from another kunai.
Gouju's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Universal Guidance!"
A powerful suction force suddenly erupted, but its target wasn't the spot where Minato Namikaze was about to appear; rather—
The scattered kunai all around!
hum!
The kunai that was about to become Minato's landing point was forcibly pulled by gravity and flew rapidly towards Makoto Karatachi at an extremely fast speed.
The Flying Thunder God Technique requires a spatial jump using a marker as a coordinate.
What if the coordinates are moved at the moment of the jump?
That person naturally had to move along with them!
Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared in front of Makoto Karatachi along with a kunai, and he himself was also surprised by this sudden change.
"Chance!"
Gouju Cheng did not hesitate at all.
"Grotomato!"
"The Way of Humanity!"
