Chapter 1005: The Monstrous Hyuga Aikotsuki!
Chapter 1005: The Monstrous Hyuga Aikotsuki!
Whoosh!
Behind Aikotsuki, the nine fox tails instantly unfurled like blooming petals.
When it came to the secret art of 'Tail Hera', Aikotsuki was undoubtedly the most formidable in the Solar Flare, so one could only imagine how terrifying her control over the Godly Organ was.
To put it bluntly, even if the real Nine-Tails itself were to appear, she could strangle it with her Godly Organ.
Yes, it was that formidable.
Her Godly Organ was unlike Uzumaki Mei's, which granted its user immense enhancement in both fire and lightning, nor did it have the auxiliary effects of TenTen or Konan's abilities, nor the defensive capabilities of Yamanaka's Powered Armor.
Combat!
Her Godly Organ, aside from storing Chakra and absorbing natural energy, had only this function.
Brute force and simplicity!
However, as her strength increased, she rarely used her Godly Organ.
Because there were few opponents worthy of her full power.
Just like Instant Chakra Mode, the Gigantic Reincarnation Eye, and Nekkyo Hoki, she didn't need to reveal these trump cards, as she was already invincible. Only when facing Madara, Hashirama, or the Sage of the Six Paths could she unleash her full power.
Now, facing Jiraiya at the Ultra-Kage Level, she didn't need to go all out.
She planned to use these trump cards as her 'First Kill' moves against Madara or the Sage of the Six Paths and wasn't about to waste them on Jiraiya.
Close combat!
The nine fox tails didn't extend too far, only a few meters, but combined with the Reincarnation Eye and Sakura no Jutsu, it was enough to max out her Taijutsu.
Of course, Aikotsuki would deliberately use Sakura no Jutsu instead of Nekkyo Hoki.
If she used the Kekkai Rinnegan, there would be no 'First Kill' effect, and she wasn't that foolish.
And it wasn't just her offense that was exaggerated; her defense was even more so.
Hagoromo!
This technique ensured her safety, further enhancing her defense with Sakura no Jutsu.
To be blunt, Aikotsuki's defense in this state was absolutely more formidable than the Third Raikage, who could engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Eight-Tails.
Aikotsuki vanished from her original position.
Bang! Bang!
Amidst the dull sound of impact.
Jiraiya was blasted away by a terrifying force.
It was the tail!
Aikotsuki's bone strike had narrowly missed Jiraiya, but he was swept away by the tail's sweep.
It could only be said that the instincts of a strong opponent were indeed troublesome.
If it were a lethal attack, their senses would be incredibly sharp, making it difficult to hit them.
The chances of landing a non-lethal attack were much higher.
Just now, the fox tail's sweep, if it weren't a blunt strike but a piercing attack capable of causing fatal damage, Jiraiya would surely have found a way to counter it.
Zila!
Amidst the surging sound of electricity and flames, Uzumaki Mei's figure appeared beside the blasted Jiraiya.
Note that at this moment, Jiraiya was in mid-air, unable to dodge or block.
"Little Jiraiya!"
On his shoulder, Shima's tiny frog palm struck out.
Frog Fist!
The air was shattered.
Just as it was about to hit the top of Jiraiya's horned head, with wings sprouting from his back, several transparent ribs emerged, blocking the Frog Fist.
It was the initial stage of Susanoo!
It seemed that Uzumaki Mei was prepared to take a hit to ensure Jiraiya's defeat.
Choking!
Her Ninjato, imbued with lightning, slashed down.
Even if she took a Frog Fist strike, she would be knocked away and injured at most, but if Jiraiya took her Ninjato strike infused with Raiton Chakra, it would be a devastating blow.
Facing this exchange, Jiraiya was naturally unwilling.
So, the white hair on his body seemed to come alive, wrapping around him to block the blade.
Tear!
His flesh was sliced by the Ninjato.
If not for 'Needle Jizo' making his hair as tough as steel, he might have been cut in half instantly.
Or, if given more time, the Ninjato, empowered by Raiton Chakra, could still slice Jiraiya in two.
Unfortunately, Susanoo could protect Uzumaki Mei from being killed, but it couldn't prevent her from being knocked away.
Bang!
He was blasted away.
And it was at this moment that Jiraiya landed.
"So strong!"
"What a formidable combination!"
Houkai and Uzumaki Shizuka witnessed this scene, muttering in shock.
It was no wonder they were so stunned, as both Aikotsuki and Mei's strength and coordination were astonishing.
The cooperation between Jiraiya and Shima was seamless, not only because they were mortal enemies, but also because they understood each other's thoughts and styles perfectly.
As for Houkai and Uzumaki Shizuka, why were they relegated to the background?
It was because, in such a battle, there was no opportunity for them to intervene.
Aside from the disparity in strength, their combat synergy alone was enough to make any assistance from them not only unhelpful but also a hindrance. Therefore, staying on the sidelines to spectate and provide backup was the best choice.
Jiraiya immediately countered with this technique as he stood up.
It wasn't that other Divine Techniques were unusable, but this particular technique, when cast without any hand seals, was the fastest.
Without a single mistake, the technique was executed in a swift and precise manner.
If he dared to use a technique with more hand seals, he might not have survived.
Currently, Jiraiya had a wound on his chest, bleeding continuously. His attack was a desperate move to counter-attack, not because his strength was superior.
The more he wanted to survive, the less he could afford to fear death.
On the battlefield, those who feared death the most were the ones who would perish.
Boom!
The destructive power of Senjutsu was indeed formidable, but the Spiral Ball's concentrated power meant that the destruction it caused was limited to this extent, unlike other Senjutsu techniques that could easily destroy the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, not only Jiraiya but also Houkai and Uzumaki Shizuka, who were observing from the back, were concerned about the outcome of the battle.
Although they didn't believe that Hyuga Aikotsuki would be defeated so easily, they were also aware of Jiraiya's strength.
Even without the presence of Shisaku, the Three-in-One Mode still possessed Ultra-Kage-level strength, especially when combined with Jiraiya's experience, which further enhanced their combat prowess.
The scene in the pit left both Houkai and Uzumaki Shizuka in disbelief, seeing the same incredulity in each other's eyes.
Indeed, Hyuga Aikotsuki was in the pit, and apart from some damage to her tail, she seemed completely unharmed.
Her defense... was top-notch!
After evolving into Koga Hoki, not only did her offensive power increase, but her defense also underwent a qualitative change.
At the very least, Hyuga Aikotsuki's body had attained a Rikudo-tier level of defense.
Aside from the absence of the Sonneityama, her actual defensive power was no weaker than Madara's.
Such terrifying strength was the reason Tang Ping had others take action while insisting on restraining Hyuga Aikotsuki.
Once she took action, it would be a chaotic slaughter, and the situation would become uncontrollable.
Therefore, Tang Ping waited until Madara became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki before allowing Hyuga Aikotsuki to enter the battle, as she would no longer be the only one capable of disrupting the situation at that point.
This was just a minor test of her defense, yet it left the onlookers in awe.
"This..."
Jiraiya stared at Hyuga Aikotsuki, who was walking out of the pit, her tail rapidly regenerating under the infusion of chakra, and he didn't know what to say.
What a monster! Even he had to admit that he had underestimated her in the past.
He never expected that there was such a monster among the original 404 Squad.
Indeed, only the word "monster" could describe Hyuga Aikotsuki.
"Next, it's our turn, right?"
Hyuga Aikotsuki slightly lowered her body, and then her entire person seemed to disappear.
Her presence! It had reached a terrifyingly low level.
If she were an ordinary ninja, even standing next to her opponent, she would be subconsciously overlooked.
Even a Kage-class powerhouse might not notice her if she didn't take action.
Jiraiya, of course, understood the fearsome nature of this ability, so he immediately performed hand seals.
"Heavenly Cover Formation!"
He directly deployed this reconnaissance barrier.
But before he could locate anyone, he realized he had other pressing matters.
Uzumaki Mei, who was responsible for the frontal assault, had already arrived, filled with murderous intent.
