Right at this moment,
Jiraiya, however, stood with his hands pressed together, unmoving, allowing that flash of sword light to pass through his body.
Swipe!
The sword light flashed.
Jiraiya's entire body was subsequently split in two, dissolving with a splash into a puddle of mud that splattered onto Gamabunta's head.
"An Earth Clone?"
As the sword light stilled, a look of surprise also appeared on Sora's face, "The Sannin of Konoha really aren't so easy to deal with. Did you switch to an Earth Clone right when you used the Summoning Technique?"
"Not just that!"
Following Jiraiya's full-throated shout, a pair of iron hands suddenly reached out from the shadow of the splattered Earth Clone, viciously grabbing Sora's ankles.
"Now, Kushina!!!"
The iron hands clamped down ruthlessly.
Tap tap tap.
The footsteps were urgent and crisp.
"Coming, Jiraiya-sensei!"
When the pale red light figure leaped up, even the previously frozen air seemed to stir because of it.
Kushina leaped high into the air. She shot up from the ground like a ghost, appearing incredibly on the battlefield of the giant beast.
Behind her, red hair danced.
In this instant, Kushina attacked with all her might, as if gathering countless rays of light upon herself.
The pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb and the golden-red chains simultaneously exploded on Sora's body.
The terrifying shockwave from the violent explosion sent Sora flying backward.
Boom!
The blast wave kicked up dust and smoke.
Sora's figure streaked across the sky like a meteor.
"Jiraiya-sensei!"
Despite landing a fierce blow, there wasn't a trace of joy in Kushina's eyes. Instead, she whispered with extreme apprehension, "Such a simple attack isn't enough to kill that monster Yuki Sora. So…"
"I understand!"
Jiraiya's gaze was equally solemn as he roared in a low voice, "Facing an opponent like Yuki Sora, we absolutely cannot be the slightest bit careless. Bunta, use oil!!!"
"Got it!"
Gamabunta's voice was muffled. It gathered Chakra in its throat and opened its mouth, spewing out a flood of dark brown toad oil.
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!!!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Boom!!!
The Fire Release spat from Jiraiya's mouth instantly ignited the massive quantity of toad oil, transforming into an ocean-like sea of fire that surged toward Sora's figure.
That earth-shattering sea of fire roared down from high above, stretching for over a thousand meters, burning like heavenly fire that blotted out the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield in a hell of raging flames.
"This…"
"What kind of Jutsu is that!??"
"My God, this is simply apocalyptic!"
"Konoha's Sannin, Jiraiya, has he finally gone all out!!!"
The terrifying sea of fire, blotting out the sky, filled the entire battlefield with an aura of destruction.
Many Kirigakure's Ninjas looked up and were intimidated by the fearsome power of the Fire Release.
Some were even scared into stumbling a few steps and falling flat on the ground.
Scorching.
Blistering.
The very air was burning.
"Is this the kind of enemy Sora has been facing all along!????"
Mei looked up at the sky-filling sea of fire, her face also turning extremely pale.
'Uzumaki Kushina, Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya…'
'Just what kind of brutal pressure has Sora been enduring all this time!!!'
"Water Release!"
"Quick, organize Water Release defenses!"
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Pillar!"
A Kirigakure's Jonin squad leader quickly commanded his subordinates to use Water Release to defend against the raging heavenly fire descending from the sky.
But the fierce flames, enhanced by the massive amount of toad oil, were not something ordinary Water Release could defend against. Just sporadic drops of the fire pierced through the Water Release defenses, setting many Kirigakure's Ninjas ablaze.
"No!"
"Help!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
The Kirigakure's Ninjas, their skin splitting and flesh tearing from the burns, wailed in despair.
"Damn it!"
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!!!"
Yagura rapidly formed hand seals. He slammed his hands on the ground, and a spectacular earthen wall, resembling a city rampart, erupted from the earth, blocking the path of the falling heavenly fire.
However, the flames, carrying the toad oil, slammed into the earthen wall like molten iron adhering to it.
Soon, the extreme heat burned through the Earth Release, emitting low, dreadful explosive sounds.
"This technique is too terrifying!!!"
Yagura's face also changed color, 'Had Jiraiya not been using his full strength when fighting me earlier!?'
Simultaneously, on top of Gamabunta's head, Kushina's Chakra erupted violently.
The pale red Chakra Cloak behind her even faintly formed the silhouette of a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox due to the excessively fierce Chakra overflow.
"Kurama, lend me your power!"
"Fine!"
"Super Blast: Consecutive Diamond Tailed Beast Bombs!!!!"
Amidst the savage roar, the Nine-Tailed Fox silhouette opened its bloody maw, instantly forming a black Tailed Beast Bomb over twenty meters in diameter.
The moment that terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb took shape, the energy swelled to its limit, distorting the surrounding space-time and generating dark, ink-colored lightning bolts.
Boom!
The black Tailed Beast Bomb shot forth.
Then,
Came the second, the third, the fourth…
Boom Boom Boom!
In the sky...
Seven terrifying Tailed Beast Bombs, each over twenty meters in diameter, were rapidly fired in succession. Like machine gun bullets trailing tracers, they tore through the sky-blotting sea of fire, chasing after Sora's figure.
Buzz!
Buzz!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The seven Tailed Beast Bombs rose like suns, emitting an annihilating yet brilliant radiance. The wildly rampaging energy not only tore through the sea of fire but also ripped apart the space along their path, causing the sky to emit a series of ear-grating, screeching friction sounds.
Everyone raised their heads, instinctively covering their ears. They stared at the ink-black fissures left in the sky by the Tailed Beast Bombs, their eyes wide with shock, their gazes frantic and disbelieving, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before them.
"This…"
"Are they still Ninjas!????"
Even the Elite Jonin, Shinsuke, let his arms hang limply at his sides, his expression dazed and bewildered.
If even the Third Hokage's son was like this, the other ordinary Ninjas were even worse off.
They could only watch the events unfolding in the sky with bated breath, waiting in utter panic for the apocalypse to descend.
'Indeed…'
'This world has become extraordinary.'
Sora, who had been sent flying into the sky, revealed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth.
Last time, he had directly gone for the kill against Kushina, not only stabbing through her heart but also sealing her Chakra with freezing air.
That should have been a situation with zero chance of survival.
But now, Kushina, who should have been dead, had appeared again, full of vitality, and had even unbelievably activated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode…
Really?!
Could it be that you actually have the Asura's Chakra Reincarnation?!
At this moment…
Sora looked at the seven Tailed Beast Bombs chasing him, his expression suddenly turning cold.
"Soldiers will be blocked, water will be covered with earth…"
"Whatever has happened in this world, I will handle it all."
Sora murmured to himself.
Gripping Hyorinmaru, an extremely dreadful spiritual pressure abruptly burst forth from his body.
"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens!"
"Bankai!"
"Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"
Instantly, an indescribably powerful Reiatsu erupted from Sora's body. The gorgeous, brilliant ice wings appeared once again, and a roaring ice dragon coiled around him, radiating an endless, severe, cold pressure.
"Ice Dragon Tail, Void Sever!"
Sora swung his Zanpakuto.
As his terrifying Reiatsu surged, a white, frost-tide-like wave of freezing air formed in the direction his blade tip traced.
The freezing air spread, congealing the atmosphere, forming a domain of extreme cold. And that frigid domain violently collided with the distant, sky-scorching sea of fire and the consecutive Tailed Beast Bombs.
