"Jiraiya-sensei!!" Minato watched helplessly as Jiraiya's heart was pierced by a Chakra Black Rod. If he were from the Uchiha Clan, he might have awakened his Mangekyo.
Jiraiya, whose heart was pierced by the Chakra Black Rod, exploded into a puff of smoke with a "bang." It turned out to be just a Shadow Clone.
At this moment, a toad leaped out of the water behind Hell Realm, an arm extended from the toad's mouth, and then quickly condensed a Sage Mode Rasengan.
While Hell Realm was still turning, the toad suddenly leaped and pounced on Hell Realm, and the Rasengan in Jiraiya's hand directly pressed against Hell Realm's back.
This was Jiraiya's strategy. While in the lake, Jiraiya used Toad Concealment Technique to hide inside the previous communication toad's mouth, letting his Shadow Clone use Sage Art: Frog Song to trap the three Six Paths of Pain in a genjutsu.
Then, the Shadow Clone used Sage Art: Goemon to kill Human Path, Asura Path, and Animal Path, and then relied on the Shadow Clone to trick Deva Path Nagato into using Almighty Pull.
He himself went behind Hell Realm and used Sage Mode Rasengan to kill Hell Realm. The Rasengan formed by Sage Mode directly blew up half of Hell Realm's body, and the summoned King of Hell also disappeared.
Yahiko didn't expect Jiraiya to seize an opportunity so quickly. In fact, if Jiraiya's attack had been directed at Yahiko, it might have been repelled by Shinra Tensei.
However, because Jiraiya couldn't bear to kill Yahiko, he chose Hell Realm, which led to the current situation where all Six Paths of Pain except Deva Path and Preta Path were killed.
In fact, Yahiko could also summon the King of Hell to revive the other Six Paths of Pain, but although Jiraiya didn't know this, he still chose to entangle Yahiko.
Jiraiya shot out from the communication toad's mouth and used Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon, unleashing countless hard white hairs to attack Yahiko.
"To use a Shadow Clone to feign death and kill four puppets, I won't give you another chance this time! Die! Shinra Tensei!"
Yahiko was actually a bit overconfident. He had become arrogant since obtaining the Rinnegan, awakening its power, and then transplanting White Zetsu Cells.
He considered himself a god, and even Jiraiya was not in his eyes. He tried to kill Jiraiya with just a few Six Paths of Pain, but unfortunately, Jiraiya taught him one last lesson.
That was the importance of information to a Ninja. Although Yahiko knew all of Jiraiya's information except his Sage Mode abilities through Black Zetsu, he ultimately fell due to underestimation of Sage Mode.
From the beginning, Jiraiya approached with extreme caution, testing the Six Paths of Pain and revealing most of their abilities at the cost of half his Chakra.
Now, by taking advantage of Yahiko's carelessness, he managed to destroy four puppets. Now he only needed to deal with Deva Path Nagato and Yahiko, who also happened to be his disciples.
Jiraiya was sent flying by Yahiko's Shinra Tensei, but he had already expected it, as he guessed that Yahiko had probably combined the abilities of all the puppets.
"Little Jiraiya, you can't let Yahiko revive the other puppets again."
Fukasaku was also bleeding from the corner of his mouth. Multiple Shinra Tensei and Almighty Pull attacks had caused them some internal injuries, and their Chakra was now more than half depleted.
If they continued to deplete their Chakra like this, Jiraiya's Sage Mode would be forced to withdraw, and then he might have no chance of winning against Yahiko and the Deva Path puppet.
Minato Namikaze was happy to see that Jiraiya-sensei was not dead and had turned the tide. Although he still didn't see the hope of victory, as long as they held on, reinforcements would arrive.
Because when he fell into the waterfall, he had already summoned a communication frog to Konoha to ask for help. As long as Uchiha Rei arrived, he and Jiraiya-sensei would be safe.
Before he could continue thinking, Preta Path attacked with a Chakra Black Rod, and Konan in the sky also became more serious, unleashing various Paper Release Ninjutsu one after another.
Jiraiya stood on the water, feeling less than half of his Chakra. He unhesitatingly pulled out a potion and put it into his mouth. This was the high-energy nutrient solution Minato had given him.
"What is little Jiraiya drinking? Is it a forbidden drug?"
Shima knew that Ninja would prepare some forbidden drugs that stimulated potential, with great side effects. Now that it was time to fight to the death, using a forbidden drug was a matter of course.
"It's even orange-flavored. As expected of Second Body, she has such good stuff."
Jiraiya felt his Chakra instantly recover by twenty percent, and it was still continuously recovering, which made Jiraiya overjoyed.
At this rate, one potion was expected to restore sixty percent of his Chakra. Combined with his original Chakra, it could be considered full strength, and there were no side effects.
"What an incredible potion, it restored so much Chakra in an instant."
Shima sensed Jiraiya's Chakra and was also a bit surprised. Mount Myōboku also had things that restored Chakra like this, but they were very precious.
"Then let's start the second round. Focus on entangling Yahiko and don't let him revive the other puppets!"
Jiraiya saw Yahiko summoning the King of Hell. He unhesitatingly took advantage of the fact that both Shinra Tensei and Almighty Pull were on cooldown, and immediately used Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Tens of thousands of Shuriken shot towards Deva Path Nagato and Yahiko. Jiraiya also attached the nature transformation of oil to them, while Fukasaku immediately spat fire, and Shima spat wind.
Wind and fire nurtured each other, catching up to the Shuriken. Thousands of Shuriken were ignited. This move was somewhat like Phoenix Flower Claw, but with added oil and wind.
Its power was naturally incomparable to Phoenix Flower Claw, and this was also a Sage Art, making its power even greater. Each Shuriken was enough to compare in power to an ordinary C-rank Ninjutsu.
The nature transformation of oil is an advanced transformation of Water Release. The Second Mizukage, Hōzuki Gengetsu, also knew this nature transformation and developed Vapor Explosion.
Oil is the "I'll just figure it out" level of Water Release, just like Second Body's "I'll just figure it out" level of Wind Release controlling natural wind. The "I'll just figure it out" level of Earth Release is gravity.
Lightning Release should be Black Lightning. As for Fire Release, Second Body didn't know. Second Body hadn't even learned the Light and Heavy Boulder Jutsu she got from Kitsuchi.
Currently, Second Body was still painstakingly repairing the Konoha barrier. Fortunately, her Sealing Technique mastery was superb, so she repaired it faster than the barrier squad.
However, just as she was about to tamper with it and leave a secret door, Shisui, dressed in Anbu attire, came looking for her, and Second Body had no choice but to behave.
"Second Body, Hokage-sama wants to see you." Shisui said concisely.
"What is it? I still have to repair the barrier, I'm busy, okay?"
Second Body subconsciously felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi looking for her was not for anything good.
"I don't know, but Hokage-sama said you don't need to repair the barrier for now."
The Third Hokage understood Second Body too well and directly blocked her excuse.
"Fine, he's always looking for me for something or nothing!"
After speaking, Second Body used Flying Thunder God and disappeared in front of Shisui.
Second Body kicked open the Hokage Office door. The Anbu guarding the door stared wide-eyed. One Princess Tsunade kicking the door was enough, and now there was another Uchiha little ancestor.
What the hell was it for him, an Anbu who guarded the door every day, to have to replace the door every day?
