Gamaken quickly turned around and used the large steel fork in his hand to deflect the incoming dagger. Taking advantage of this gap, Uchiha Yoru also hurriedly jumped onto the head of the Manda, forming hand seals while shouting, "Manda!"
This time, the Manda wasn't as arrogant as before. It let go of Gamabunta and retreated. At the same time, Uchiha Yoru had just finished forming the seals.
"Jiraiya you bastard!"
As the Manda released its grip, the face of Gamabunta turned red as he gasped for breath, furiously cursing Jiraiya, "I might boast a lot, but don't you know I can't beat this stinking snake? You made me really fight this thing alone."
"Bunta!" Jiraiya shouted as he saw Uchiha Yoru forming the seals. But the next moment, just as Gamabunta was catching his breath, he staggered and fell to the ground.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
The ground instantly turned into a thick swamp, and Gamabunta lost his balance and fell in. At this moment, Jiraiya jumped over him and said, "Be careful."
Jiraiya looked at Gamabunta sinking into the swamp with an awkward smile, "I was careless." But Gamabunta was extremely furious, raising his head to roar at the figure on the Manda, "Brat!"
When had Gamabunta ever been in such a predicament? Even when he teamed up with Jiraiya to fight Orochimaru, he hadn't been this embarrassed. Today was a huge embarrassment.
"My God! Is this brat's chakra free?"
At this moment, Jiraiya exclaimed in shock. Uchiha Yoru on the Manda's head revealed an evil smile, his body turned out to be a mud clone. The real Uchiha Yoru emerged from the edge of the swamp, hiding behind a large tree. But he had already formed the hand seals, took a deep breath, and flames gushed out from his mouth.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
A vast amount of chakra formed a roaring fire dragon, releasing five massive fire dragons from bottom to top, completely sealing off all angles of Gamabunta.
"Damn it, this brat knows my combat habits."
Jiraiya shouted in anger. The way this brat fought seemed to indicate that he knew everything about him. Clearly, this was Orochimaru's work.
Although Jiraiya was angry, his eyes remained calm. Clearly, with his experience, he wouldn't lose his composure. He analyzed the situation, noting that the curse mark seemed to enhance the brat's strength and speed. The energy felt similar to Sage Mode but more unstable.
Orochimaru truly was a genius. As Jiraiya pondered, Gamabunta , almost entirely sunk in the swamp, shouted, "Jiraiya!"
The five massive fire dragons had him surrounded from all angles. If Jiraiya didn't help, he would truly be in trouble.
"Bunta, use the oil!"
Jiraiya, not feeling threatened by the jutsu before him, laughed and shouted. With mutual trust, Gamabunta reflexively spat out a large amount of oil, and after Jiraiya formed his seals, he spat out fire.
Fire Release: Frog Oil Flame Bullet.
The overwhelming flames appeared like a waterfall, directly engulfing these several fire dragons. If the fire dragons are compared to massive rocks, then the combination fire technique of Jiraiya and Gamabunta is like a waterfall.
The powerful impact caused the five fire dragons to be knocked off course, skimming past Gamabunta and flying into the sky.
They missed!
However, the enormous flaming waterfall attacked, and right after releasing his jutsu, Uchiha Yoru turned into a streak of lightning, quickly heading towards Manda.
"Manda!"
With Uchiha Yoru's loud shout, the temperamental Manda, seeing this scene, even though they were cooperating for the first time, seemed very in sync. Almost instantly, Manda understood his intentions. Yet, in his fiery temper, he shouted, "Brat, this time I want two hundred sacrifices."
There was a large pond nearby, and Manda's thick and strong tail, swift as lightning, fiercely lashed the water. With this force, the pond splashed, forming a brief waterfall barrier.
Hiss~
With the collision of water and fire, a loud hissing sound emerged, accompanied by a thick mist.
The scene was clearly seen by the Konoha ninjas rushing from a distance. Many were shocked by the sight.
"Is this! Is this the battle among the Three Legendary Sannin?"
Amazement! Many of the ninjas were seeing such a ground-shaking jutsu duel for the first time, a battle that was reshaping the terrain.
"No! It's not Lord Orochimaru, it's Orochimaru's disciple, Uchiha Yoru, who is battling with Lord Jiraiya!"
Clearly, among the crowd, there were sensor-type ninjas, and they were even more astonished when they detected the identities of those fighting.
"What!"
Many exclaimed in shock. It's Uchiha Yoru! Orochimaru's disciple, being able to fight Jiraiya to such an extent, is truly terrifying.
The destructive power of a jounin-level battle is already vast, but to change the terrain requires an enormous amount of chakra or the aid of summoning beasts.
For example, Jiraiya's combination jutsu with the summoned beast, Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet, reshapes the terrain. In terms of power range, it surpasses the ordinary A-rank jutsu but is not as powerful as S-rank jutsu. Still, in battle, it's a very formidable jutsu, specifically designed for large-scale wars.
Jounins do not have an abundant amount of chakra. In the anime, Kakashi once mentioned he could only release his Chidori four times a day. Kakashi's chakra might seem limited, but when compared to regular jounins, it's quite plentiful.
Moreover, Kakashi's chakra is not scarce; it's just that his Sharingan continually consumes it, preventing him from being at full chakra.
Uchiha Yoru's chakra is almost seven times that of Kakashi. With the enhancement of the Curse Mark's first state, even though it's not its full power, the natural energy entering his body also amplifies his jutsu's strength.
From the very beginning, Orochimaru was aware of the chakra disparity between them, so he chose to help with the summoning, considering the vast chakra consumption.
From the start of the battle, the following jutsu have been released: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation B-rank, Rasengan A-rank, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands C-rank, Earth Flow Wall B-rank, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique A-rank, Chidori A-rank, Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique B-rank, and many more.
Though the two fire techniques are B-rank, they consume quite a bit of chakra. Additionally, being continuously in the Lightning Release chakra mode, Uchiha Yoru's vast chakra is nearly depleted.
"Brat, how much chakra do you have left?"
Gamabunta and Gamaken descended from the left and right, and the Sannin ninjas, Jiraiya, looked solemnly at the fading figure in the distance as the mist cleared. Uchiha Yoru, standing atop Manda, was panting heavily, drenched in sweat. At some point during the previous evasion, a stone had cut his eyebrow, causing blood to obscure one eye.
The surrounding landscape was devastated, bearing the scars of a great battle. Flames from ignited oil still burned in the forests, casting dark shadows everywhere.
"Brat, you're already very strong for your age," Jiraiya remarked, nodding in admiration at Orochimaru's prized disciple. The boy had vast amounts of chakra, was skilled in ninjutsu, excelled in body techniques, and was adept at illusionary techniques. Thinking of the boy's three-tomoe Sharingan, Jiraiya couldn't help but shake his head, "If this kid grows up, he might become a formidable adversary."
Dark clouds began to cover the sky, seemingly foreshadowing significant events in Konoha. From a distance, a group of Konoha ninjas approached, clearly shocked. From their perspective, the aftermath of the battle was evident, and it was clearly beyond the capabilities of an average Jonin.
Eager to know the truth, Jiraiya, with a hearty laugh, addressed Uchiha Yoru, "Brat, you're impressive for your age. Now, can you tell me about Orochimaru?"
Regarding the things Orochimaru had said during their confrontation, Jiraiya might have had doubts about the immortality technique, but he couldn't entirely dismiss Orochimaru's ninja way. As for being ruthless? Jiraiya chuckled. No ninja had the right to claim another as cruel. However, harming fellow villagers was crossing a line.
Uchiha Yoru, gasping for breath atop Manda's head, looked at Jiraiya and smirked coldly, "Lord Jiraiya, you want the truth? I can tell you, but I doubt you're ready to face it."
Jiraiya, despite his goofy demeanor, was astute. From the start, he had other considerations. Orochimaru's predicament was evident, and from the recent intel, Jiraiya could infer the gist of it. Orochimaru's reputation had taken a massive hit, similar to what had happened with White Fang. So, when facing Uchiha Yoru, Jiraiya chose to let Orochimaru escape. Uchiha Yoru's abilities were recognized by Jiraiya, who felt relieved that if anything happened to Orochimaru's direct followers, there would be someone capable to lead them, preserving the village's strength.
However, Gamabunta, who had spent many years in Mount Myoboku, felt something was amiss. Looking up at the gathering storm clouds, a sense of dread enveloped him.
Reacting to Bunta's warning, Jiraiya's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, "Brat, what have you done?"
From atop the snake's head, Uchiha Yoru slowly stood, his muscular body surrounded by electric arcs, reminiscent of a god of thunder. Sparks danced on his palm, and he grinned, "Lord Jiraiya, under the guidance of Master Orochimaru, I developed this technique. A thunderbolt from the sky. How will you, one of the Legendary Sannin, evade it?"
Jiraiya gulped, his face showing unprecedented seriousness. He had underestimated his opponent. "Brat! Tell me the truth about Orochimaru!"
Even now, Jiraiya was persistent. He needed to know the truth about Orochimaru. With the village now issuing arrest warrants, the reputation that his old friend had built over the years was at stake. Jiraiya didn't want Orochimaru's legacy to vanish. He also didn't want the village to be too harsh. As long as there was a chance for redemption, Jiraiya wouldn't give up on Orochimaru.
"Lord Jiraiya! The truth is that Orochimaru has been researching the Wood Release. The village plans to restart the Wood Release project and has also assigned him two forbidden jutsu for research. The Root division has provided countless ninja for human experimentation. However, we later discovered that some of them were from our village. Master instructed us to secretly imprison these fellow villagers first."
Listening to Uchiha Yoruichi's words, Jiraiya's face looked extremely bad. So that's how it was. Why didn't Orochimaru object? No! Or it could be that the Third Hokage was involved or tacitly approved. He recalled the situation with the Fourth Hokage and became silent.
Back then, he also agreed with the Third Hokage's political ideals. The Hidden Leaf needed stability, so he stood by his own disciple, Minato. The Third did the same, and in the end, Orochimaru failed.
Now! Once again, the village's abandonment, the master's abandonment, and the temptation of immortality, Orochimaru chose to watch with indifference. If the village and the Third chose to support him, he would move forward. If they abandoned him, he would sever all ties!
Jiraiya knew Orochimaru's nature, but precisely because of this, he felt even more anxious. Orochimaru was really capable of anything.
"By the way, some time ago I visited the Third Hokage and placed a scroll report about the Root division secretly using village ninja among the gifts. The gift I received in return was the Third Hokage's signature jutsu, as you have seen. Moreover!"
At this point, Uchiha Yoruichi showed a cold smile, "It seems there are quite a few people in the village who want Master Orochimaru gone."
Boom!
This intelligence shocked Jiraiya, and at the same time, dark clouds rolled in the sky.
Lightning Release: Kirin.
