Chapter 721: The One-Armed Blade, Shikaku!
Chapter 721: The One-Armed Blade, Shikaku!
On the battlefield, Jiraiya faced off against several opponents, including Yuchiha Yaya. Despite the challenging situation, Yaya found time to taunt Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, does it really take you this long to enter Sage Mode? Are you regretting not putting in more effort in your training?"
With the current lineup, even the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan might not guarantee victory.
Furthermore, due to tactical considerations, Yaya had no intention of using the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Instead, she relied on her Trigram Eye to quickly break through and disrupt Jiraiya's preparations, attempting to lower his guard through verbal tactics.
"You little brat, I'm your opponent!" Tsunade punched with her immense strength, capable of sending anyone flying and shattering them upon impact.
Her sheer power was comparable to an A-rank ninjutsu, and combined with her exceptional medical ninjutsu skills, she rightfully earned the title of a Shadow Level Powerhouse.
Yuchiha Yaya, with her extraordinary organ, responded with a swift Body Flicker Technique, causing a red demon horn to sprout from her forehead.
The activation of her extraordinary organ brought about a qualitative change in her speed, as a pair of red and blue chakra wings appeared behind her.
Demon Transformation!
In an instant, she unleashed her full power, entering the ultimate state of her extraordinary organ.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Armor!"
"Fire Style: Flame Armor!"
She consecutively executed these two unique techniques to enhance her overall state.
The red and blue radiance enveloped her body, forming a special purple veil of light, both dazzling and dangerous.
The extraordinary organ's empowerment allowed her to seamlessly combine these two techniques.
With her Demon Transformation, Yuchiha Yaya's speed became terrifying, swiftly evading Tsunade and rushing towards Jiraiya.
She was determined to prevent him from entering Sage Mode.
If Jiraiya summoned Fukuzawa and Shimagami, two Sage-level creatures, and combined them with Sage Mode, his strength would instantly rival that of a Hyper Shadow Goalkeeper.
In the original storyline, it wasn't that Jiraiya's Sage Mode was weak; it was due to the 'first impression kill' and 'plot armor' that he survived.
Just as Yuchiha Yaya had stated, Jiraiya would come to regret not putting in more effort into his Sage Mode training.
A few minutes of preparation time was more than enough for numerous interruptions.
If Jiraiya had consistently trained, he wouldn't have needed this much time to enter Sage Mode.
However, due to Fukuzawa and Shimagami's assistance in entering Sage Mode, he had become complacent in his early success, leading to a lack of motivation.
Yuchiha Dohei's words struck a chord, resonating with Jiraiya's inner thoughts.
Initially, Dohei struggled to enter Sage Mode without Ryusen's help, but he consistently improved, reducing the time to under a minute even before obtaining the Sage Body.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, showed no signs of progress.
Instead of training, he wasted his time on leisurely activities, leaving no room for Sage Mode practice.
Now, he was facing the consequences.
"Hokage-sama, don't let her words distract you!" Shikaku Nara, using his Shadow Secret Technique, attempted to block Yuchiha Yaya's advance while warning Jiraiya.
"I know!" Jiraiya responded, maintaining his posture of gathering natural energy, his thoughts known only to himself.
Yes, he did regret it. Sage Mode was a technique with limitless potential, and while others might possess it, their power varied.
Jiraiya's Sage Mode, from the beginning, had remained stagnant.
In contrast, Yuchiha Dohei's progress soared after mastering Sage Mode.
They had even exchanged training methods, but these methods required significant time and were incredibly tedious, causing Jiraiya to subconsciously abandon them.
Thus, Dohei's words held truth.
"Thousand Birds Stream!"
Yuchiha Yaya's body glowed brightly, and a blue aura expanded, instantly pushing back the nearby Asuma and Doza, along with Tsunade.
"Fang Through Fang!"
Inuzuka Hana and her ninja dog simultaneously unleashed their secret technique, pouncing towards Yaya.
"Inuzuka...!"
Yuchiha Yaya's Trigram Eye fixed on the two gusts of wind drilling through the sky, but she made no attempt to dodge as before.
A blue, water-like sphere of light condensed in her palm.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Bird!"
She directly unleashed this S-rank Lightning Style technique of her own creation.
S-Rank Ninjutsu!
For a Shadow Level Powerhouse, developing such a technique was not impossible; the key was having sufficient ninjutsu knowledge and chakra.
With Dohei present, his casual guidance could save Yaya years of detours.
If anyone else had offered guidance, Yaya might have felt insulted, but she readily accepted Dohei's advice.
Lightning Bird!
This S-rank exclusive ninjutsu was tailor-made for her.
Shreee!
The chorus of Thousand Birds echoed across the battlefield.
A giant blue bird with a wingspan of over ten meters flew out from Yaya's palm, colliding with the falling Fang-Passing Fang in the sky.
In terms of assault capabilities, Fang-Passing Fang was undoubtedly top-tier, but its biggest drawback was its difficulty in hitting targets accurately.
So, despite the Lightning Bird's more impressive display, no one expected Hana to lose in this clash.
Zzzzzzzz!
But when the Lightning Bird and Fang-Passing Fang collided, a terrifying blue current overwhelmed everything.
As the current dissipated,
A person and a dog fell to the ground, charred black.
"Save them quickly!"
Kibaku was the first to react and remind them.
He dared not leave Jiraiya, so he could only rely on others for rescue.
"Get out of my way!"
Yaya swept past a ten-meter-wide moat, avoiding the shadows below, and her right-hand ninja blade shot straight at Kibaku.
Empowered by lightning, the ninja blade pierced the atmosphere, an unstoppable force.
"Kibaku!"
Jiraiya exclaimed.
However, he had no chance to intervene at the moment.
Fortunately, Kibaku had teammates nearby.
It was Doza, who had just been pushed back by the Thousand Birds Stream, and he had already returned by the time Yaya used 'Lightning Bird'.
"Hyper-Multiplication Technique!"
Doza's body suddenly grew taller, becoming a small mountain-like figure blocking Kibaku and Jiraiya.
As mentioned earlier, defensive capabilities also increase in the Multiplication Technique state, so the Akimichi clan doesn't need shields; their bodies are the best shields.
Pff!
A crisp piercing sound rang out.
The ninja blade Yaya threw directly pierced Doza's body, continuing its trajectory towards Kibaku.
However, just as it reached Kibaku's nose, it abruptly stopped.
It wasn't due to a depletion of power but because, on the ground, the ninja blade's shadow was entangled by countless thin, thread-like shadows.
Around Kibaku, a vast web of shadows was spread out, capable of intercepting any approaching target. This was his final line of defense.
Of course, it was also because Doza had weakened the attack that he could block it.
But before Kibaku could even catch his breath, he felt a chilling killing intent behind him.
Indeed, the attack had been blocked, but where was Yaya?
Shua!
At this moment, Yaya, covered in purple sheer fabric with her red-blue chakra wings fully extended, had already positioned herself ten meters behind Kibaku.
"Thousand Birds Spear!"
Her right index finger lightly tapped, and a blue glow shot out, aiming at Kibaku's back.
The Shadow Secret Technique couldn't block this non-physical attack.
Indeed, intelligence was crucial; if Yaya had used a physical weapon, it might have been stopped by the shadows, but the Thousand Birds Spear wasn't afraid of the Shadow Secret Technique.
Just as the Leaf Army's strategist was about to be pierced through the heart by the Thousand Birds Spear,
A fist blade shimmering with Wind Style light flew in from the side, blocking the Thousand Birds Spear.
The blue laser, which had been shooting towards the heart, instantly shifted, grazing the left hand instead.
Shua!
With a crisp slicing sound, an elbow-length arm fell to the ground.
Now, Kibaku could learn the 'One-Armed Blade' technique.
It was the price of being the first to act.
If he hadn't jumped out like that, he wouldn't have attracted attention.
"Eh!"
Yaya glanced at Asuma, surprised by his speed and his ability to guess her target.
It was worth noting that her current speed was incredibly fast, second only to Namikaze Minato among the top-tier. The fact that Asuma could keep up was impressive, and his understanding of her combat style showed his dedication.
She didn't waste time and had no intention of continuing her attack on Kibaku. Instead, she rushed towards Jiraiya, aiming to disrupt his Sage Mode.
