Chapter 118 The Second Sun
next second.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!"
A bright red handprint appeared on Jiraiya's left cheek.
At this moment, Shima nodded: "Very good, Jiraiya is in pain too. It seems I wasn't dreaming."
Looking at Akali, Shima was once again immersed in profound shock:
"Honey, is it really possible that such a perfect immortal form truly exists in this world? I thought perfect immortals only existed in legends!"
"My dear wife, the legends in this world are all true, it's just that sometimes things are not as good as they used to be, they have declined."
Fukasaku the Hermit's long white eyebrows met in a line:
"It seems that Jiraiya, this junior, is indeed very outstanding, just as he said!"
"Little Jiraiya, can we not fight?" Fukasaku asked, his old bones unable to withstand the torment of a perfect sage.
"It doesn't seem feasible yet," Jiraiya said seriously. "This time it concerns Naruto!"
"Naruto? I see! Minato's son, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and also the student you're about to take on!"
"Your disciple, the Son of Prophecy, the Son of Prophecy, is indeed not to be taken lightly!"
The two sages on Jiraiya's shoulders each said a sentence.
Through tacit communication, the necessity of this battle was established.
Three pairs of eyes turned to Akali.
Seeing this, Akali, who was sitting on the small stool waiting, came to her senses.
"Oh ho, finally finished talking?"
"But if you ask me, the two immortals are really working hard. At their age, they still have to get involved in the conflicts of this world. Aren't they afraid of hurting their backs?"
Akali said casually.
Seeing Akali's attitude, the Immortal was very disdainful: "Hmph, what an arrogant little girl!"
Shima the Hermit continued, "Honey, give her a good beating!"
"Okay, honey!"
During the conversation between the two immortals, Shima opened his mouth, and a long tongue with a nose and eyes shot out, grabbing Akali at an extremely fast speed, trying to bind her.
However, when faced with Shima's attempt to capture her, Akali simply activated a Flying Thunder God Mark, causing him to fail completely.
Jiraiya hurriedly reminded him, "Master Shima, she can use the Flying Thunder God Technique; you won't be able to catch her like this!"
"Flying Thunder God Technique? That's Minato's technique! Why didn't you say so sooner!"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Shima also began to frown:
"Little Jiraiya, you've really given us a lot of trouble!"
"After this is all over, you have to come to Mount Myoboku and eat my meals, three times in total!"
“This… alright!” Jiraiya’s face fell.
He felt that being killed by Akali here would be easier than going to eat Shima's whole insect feast.
But what can be done now?
"Please, Lady Shima!"
"Sigh, it seems my wrinkles are bound to increase after this treatment. I'll have to take better care of myself when I get home!"
Master Shima sighed.
Then, a powerful surge of Sage Chakra rushed up to Shima's throat and flowed into his long tongue.
To Akali's astonishment, tiny holes suddenly appeared on the long tongue that Shima had just shot out.
A large amount of clear, yellow liquid gushed out from the hole!
Like an irrigation machine on a lawn, a large amount of clear yellow liquid covered an area of a kilometer radius centered on Jiraiya!
"what?"
Akali let out a surprised exclamation.
She suddenly realized that after Shima used that liquid to cover the surroundings, a strong sense of natural energy permeated the air, and the Flying Thunder God mark she left on the ground simultaneously lost its signal, as if there was a membrane separating the two.
And the farther up in the sky, or the farther away from the ground, the less interference there is.
However, the space transfer of the Flying Thunder God is just like taking a plane. There is no 80% or 70% safety probability. It is only 0 or 1, because space transfer and taking a plane are both ways to cause serious consequences if there is an accident.
Naturally, Akali shouldn't gamble on that probability.
Therefore, Akali's Flying Thunder God technique is currently considered sealed.
"You can actually do that?"
Akali felt she had learned something new.
This was the first time she had ever known that the Flying Thunder God Technique could be broken in this way!
It's no wonder they're from Mount Myōboku. A force that existed since the Six Paths era, or even before, true native inhabitants of the planet—truly extraordinary.
At the same time, after performing this technique, Shima, showing some signs of fatigue, spoke smugly:
"Little girl, with my toad oil interfering with your flight, you won't be able to fly anymore!"
“Indeed!” Akali nodded.
However, it's just Flying Thunder God Technique; if you don't use it, you don't have to. Flying Thunder God Technique isn't her core skill.
Akali moved her feet.
But at the same time, an extremely strong suction force came from the soles of my feet!
Akali looked down at her feet in surprise. She was like someone who had stepped on a sticky mouse trap, with long strands of sticky, bright yellow toad oil forming!
"This toad oil has this kind of function?" Akali was genuinely surprised this time.
"Of course! How do you think ordinary toads catch mosquitoes?" Shima the Hermit said proudly. "Honey, it's your turn!"
"Okay, honey, you've worked hard!"
"Immortal Technique: Water Slash!"
Fukasaku opened his mouth and activated the spell he had been preparing for a while. A high-speed water blade composed of a thin line of water crossed a hundred meters and instantly arrived in front of Akali!
Akali dared not be careless in the face of the sudden high-speed water jet attack.
Before she traveled through time, high-speed water jets manufactured by technological equipment could cut through anything; even the strongest objects would crumble before them, making them arguably the sharpest in the world.
Akali dared not be careless, but how to defend against the Water Blade was also a big problem.
Ordinary ninjas here might habitually use Earth Release: Earth Wall or Hardening Technique, while more advanced ones might add a Sage Art.
But if Akali really did that, she would be severely injured, if not killed.
Because waterjet cutting is never for cutting, but for grinding.
A high-pressure, high-speed water jet impacting a single point is like countless Barrett missiles firing at the same point; even the strongest defense will be breached by this single point.
Thinking about this, Akali suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly added the skill points she had saved from the last skill point allocation to a ninjutsu she had drawn in the past.
The four seals of Zi, Chen, Mao, and Yin flashed by on his hand.
Because of the brevity of the hand seals and Akali's 12-year-old hand speed, most people could only see her hand seals change three times, leading them to believe that she only formed three hand seals.
Thick water vapor surrounded Akali, and a spiraling water curtain instantly enveloped her!
Since even the hardest solids can be cut, why can't fluids be cut as well?
"Snapped--"
The high-speed water jets crashed into the water curtain, where they were then absorbed and dissolved by the rotating water curtain, becoming part of it.
With the addition of this new water, Akali's spell quickly took shape, and a huge water dragon with a body of aquamarine blue and two bright golden eyes opened its dragon mouth above her head and roared silently!
"Sage Art: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Akali shouted out the name of the spell with a hint of excitement.
Then she pointed at Jiraiya and the others ahead and said, "Go!"
The majestic water dragon unfurled its enormous body, several meters long, like a train charging forward!
"What?!" Fukasaku was undoubtedly quite surprised to see his water slash being neutralized in this way.
Fortunately, Jiraiya remained vigilant throughout.
"Immortal Technique, Earth Escape, Earth Current Wall!"
A towering city wall, several meters high, rose up. Akali's magical water dragon bullet collided with it, producing a deafening roar like an explosive blast.
However, at the same level, Earth Release is inherently superior to Water Release, not to mention that Akali's Water Release is only a temporary skill, while Jiraiya's Earth Release is his signature move.
Thus, the seemingly majestic water dragon burst apart on the city wall, transforming into surging waves rushing in all directions.
"Ahhh!"
Not far away, Sakura, Naruko, and the others let out delicate, panicked cries as the waves crashed against them.
Swimsuit-clad girls playing in the water, soaking wet, are usually the thing that most attracts Jiraiya's attention.
But now, Jiraiya, who had come to the city wall, dared not look away for even a moment. Instead, he stared at Akali's feet, which had broken free of the toad oil and were now standing on the water's surface, and fell into deep thought.
A sudden, mutated Water Dragon Bullet not only created a Water Barrier, neutralizing Fukasaku's Water Slash, but also cleverly altered the terrain, freeing her from the toad oil's restraints, and even depleted his chakra.
Akali's combat wisdom surprised Jiraiya with her triple achievement.
This also demonstrates Akali's deep reserves.
"It seems that ninjutsu battles won't yield any results!"
Jiraiya came to this conclusion.
Then he kicked off the wooden clogs he was wearing on both upper bodies: "Let's try close combat again!"
As if some kind of pattern shift, the Sage Mask on Jiraiya's face merged into one, turning his entire cheeks and even his eyelids a deep red.
At the same time, his hands and feet began to swell, his fingers and toes sharpened, and the toad-like bumps on his skin increased, making the signs of his transformation into a frog more obvious.
Finally, Jiraiya lay prone on all fours, squatting on the water's surface like a real toad, his aura greatly enhanced.
Seeing this, Akali was somewhat surprised: "You're not planning to use Goemon, but instead preparing for close combat? A wise choice!"
Jiraiya's Sage Art: Goemon is a combination of his toad oil, enhanced by the wind release of the Sage of Toads and the fire release of the Sage of Shima, making it incredibly powerful.
Because of the toad oil, once this fire gets on your body, it cannot be extinguished even by water.
Like a stubborn carbuncle that is difficult to remove, and a raging fire that burns at thousands of degrees, enough to destroy everything.
But if Jiraiya really dared to use a technique with such a long wind-up, Akali would definitely flash in and teach him a lesson on the spot.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiraiya simply stopped using it.
"Fine, close combat it is then!"
Akali, after a long absence, pulled out her scythe and kunai.
At this moment, the ninja scythe and kunai also underwent a change in appearance under the KDA Prestige Edition, with gold handles and crystal blades, looking exquisite and luxurious.
With such obvious actions, both sides understood each other's intentions.
Jiraiya jumped onto the earthen wall, landing on all fours, perpendicular to the ground.
Then, he used all four of his frog-like, powerful limbs together!
"Oh!"
The sturdy magic earth wall shattered under the immense force.
Amidst the flying earth and rocks, Jiraiya transformed into a high-speed projectile and hurtled towards Akali.
Not only that, Jiraiya, who was in mid-air, raised his right palm, and a familiar azure vortex quickly condensed in his palm.
"Senfa·Super·Dayama Rasengan!"
A giant Rasengan the size of a hot air balloon slammed down on Akali!
Seeing this, Akali's beautiful brows furrowed deeply: "What happened to close combat? You have no sportsmanship!"
"Fine, fine, so you're going to play it this way, huh!"
Akali used a skill she had only recently acquired with some awkwardness.
She didn't allocate any points to this skill, firstly because she didn't have enough skill points, and secondly, because allocating points wouldn't make much of a difference.
Because this is a technique entirely based on Sage Mode!
That is, R from Kalmar—the mantra!
In an instant, a bright, powerful light burst forth in Akali's eyes and even her small mouth.
She clasped her hands together, mobilizing all the Sage Chakra in her body, which condensed into an oval ball of light between her clasped palms.
Akali pushes her palm forward:
"Sa sai sa, PDD!"
Like the Giant Rasengan, the palm-sized oval ball of light expands to tens or even hundreds of times its original size the moment it is released!
"boom--"
Two enormous orbs of light collided!
In the face of this relentless pressure, both the Giant Rasengan and Akali's Mind Flame underwent terrifying deformation and distortion.
The very tip of the giant Rasengan was slightly concave, and the entire sphere expanded by one size, while the elliptical Mind Flame transformed from an ellipse into a disc!
However, for a technique of this level, any change in form is dangerous!
Fukasaku and Shima, who were on Jiraiya's shoulders, changed their expressions drastically and urgently reminded him, "Little Jiraiya, get out of here quickly, leave right now!"
At the same time, Akali teleported to Naruto and Sakura's side, adding another skill point to a ninjutsu.
"Immortal Technique·Earth Release·Earth Formation Wall!"
"Ice Barrier!"
"Face the storm!"
Wind walls, ice walls, and earthen walls—three layers of defense—stood before everyone like three Rashomon gates!
The next second, the Giant Rasengan and the Mind Flame could no longer maintain their form. The surging energy came into contact with and clashed with each other, while under the action of inertia, they continued to press together, just like the chain reaction of a nuclear explosion!
And so, the second sun rose slowly in this nameless valley outside Konoha!
Infinite light and heat radiated outwards, instantly scorching the flowers, grass, and trees on the ground at the explosion's epicenter into charcoal. The charcoal was then shattered into ashes by the shockwave, as the air at the very center was instantly expelled into a vacuum.
The immense heat caused the air to expand, and the resulting shockwave was like a divine strike, instantly tearing apart and crushing the fragile grass, creating a huge, ever-expanding crater!
At that moment, the soil turned into water, which was propelled by the shockwave into a wave, and then, together with the shockwave, crashed heavily into Akali's triple defense!
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble—"
A deafening roar accompanied the shaking of the earth!
