Sizzle!
The blade enveloped in yellow electricity pierced into the red meat wall, but the imagined scene of easily slicing through did not occur. The defense of the meat wall seemed stronger than a steel fortress, and there was a mysterious power at play, forcibly causing Kakashi's White Fang Short Blade to get stuck inside.
Kakashi could neither slice open the meat wall nor pull the blade out.
Kakashi didn't hesitate and immediately wanted to abandon the White Fang Short Blade, but several tentacles suddenly extended from the meat wall, binding him tightly to it. Then, the meat wall in contact with him swiftly transformed, pulling him inside.
Nohara Rin tried to help Kakashi but was caught off guard by Jiraiya's Shadow Clone and knocked down.
"Tsk, no wonder you've earned the title of Lightning Fang at such a young age. Your brilliance surpasses White Fang in his youth." Jiraiya glanced at the slightly protruding electric blade tip and praised.
Being able to pierce the intestinal wall of the Iwayado Giant Toad indicates Kakashi has a very outstanding attack capability, and ordinary defensive ninjutsu probably can't withstand Kakashi's cut.
Kakashi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Jiraiya to know the title he carved out on the East Coast Battlefield.
"Haha, don't underestimate my intelligence gathering ability." Jiraiya chuckled at the reaction.
After all, Kakashi, Obito, and the others are disciples of Namikaze Minato, so Jiraiya pays more attention.
"I still have a long way to go compared to my father," Kakashi shook his head and said.
Although his output capability is strong now, a battle is not judged by only one ability, and his high output comes at the cost of endurance.
Jiraiya patted Kakashi's head with his large hand, "Why are you being so modest with the strength you've cultivated yourself, which could have been learned from Minato Mokgetsu."
If Jiraiya had Kakashi's current strength and fame at eleven years old, he would walk using the Wind Release to create a bit of breeze, Orochimaru would take a detour, and any dog daring to bark would get a kick.
After speaking, Jiraiya canceled the Summoning Technique, and the red meat wall rapidly disappeared.
Although there was no referee, everyone could see the battle had ended.
Obito collapsed from exhaustion, Nohara Rin was defeated by Jiraiya's Shadow Clone, and Kakashi had basically lost his combat capability.
"Considering your age, the performance is quite decent, but Goggles kid, if you want to sign a contract with Mount Myoboku, try a bit harder," Jiraiya commented.
In fact, the performance of Obito and others exceeded Jiraiya's expectations. The comprehensive combat strength of the entire team is enough to complete some important S-level war tasks, with Kakashi being particularly outstanding, far surpassing the ordinary Jonin in combat quality and hard strength.
If Jiraiya were to score them, he'd give ninety-eight out of a hundred, deducting points for Obito's foolishness.
Of course, Jiraiya's reason for not letting Obito sign the contract with Mount Myoboku wasn't because Obito annoyed him. He's not that petty.
The real reason is that Jiraiya discovered an issue with Obito and Kakashi during the battle – poor sustained combat ability.
Before and after Obito entered the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, there was a significant difference in the power of Fire Release. Jiraiya suspected he mastered a Secret Technique similar to Sage Mode.
Such a Secret Technique generally requires a very strong Chakra, like Sage Mode, where strong Chakra is just the threshold for learning Sage Mode.
Currently, Obito's deficiency in Chakra leads to his inability to fight for extended periods, and the Summoning Technique requires a large consumption of Chakra to summon powerful Summoning Beasts.
So now there's no point in letting Obito sign the contract with Mount Myoboku, which is why Jiraiya encourages Obito to keep trying.
Obito just needs to continue growing to enhance his Chakra, which will solve his issue, and then the Blood Contract with Mount Myoboku will naturally be beneficial.
"No signing then, later Charmander will surely be stronger than those toads," Obito pouted, not caring about the Blood Contract with Mount Myoboku.
What attracted him wasn't the Summoning Beasts of Mount Myoboku but the Sage Mode mentioned by Jiraiya.
"Goggles kid, you're quite arrogant. Kakashi has earned the title Lightning Fang on the battlefield; do you have a title?" Jiraiya asked knowingly.
Obito's face darkened, saying nothing. Obito was also quite upset about not having a title.
He felt those from the Hidden Mist had no vision, missing the immense potential hidden within him.
"Why don't I, the legendary Sannin, give you one—Konoha's False Flames, collapsing after using a few Fire Releases, genuinely weak." Jiraiya chuckled, pretending to muse thoughtfully.
Obito's face turned flush. If he had any Chakra left, he would immediately enter the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode to deliver a fiery Iron Mountain Lean at Jiraiya.
"Born evil white-haired old ghost, once I become stronger, I'll make you pay!" Obito shouted in frustration in his heart.
However, Jiraiya's words made Obito think of a good place to earn a cool title—Hanzo.
As is well-known, the title Sannin was given to Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru after they confronted Hanzo during the Second Ninja World War.
And the recently famous Ninja Master Sosuke has gained momentum by repelling Hanzo.
Thus, fighting Hanzo equals fame equals having a cool title.
If he also fights Hanzo and wins, it would mean surpassing the Sannin as the Sannin couldn't defeat Hanzo back then.
Obito couldn't help but start to fantasize.
