Chapter 846: Sage of Shinobi Education!
Chapter 846: Sage of Shinobi Education!
The Leaf Village reinforcements... have arrived.
Led by Jiraiya, Kuyahada Dinzou, Yamayama Gyuichi, and other powerful ninjas, several hundred elite ninjas had made their way to the battlefield.
Astonishing!
The Bridge of Heaven and Earth Battle had only just begun, yet this main force, originally positioned at the rear, had already arrived.
If there were no issues, Tang Ping could have easily devoured the remaining bridge.
"Jiraiya!"
Even as Orochimaru was engaged in a fierce battle with Kakashi, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Opportunity!
Kakashi didn't hold back and swiftly moved like a flash of lightning.
Rip!
A large gash appeared on Orochimaru's body.
"As expected of White Fang's son!"
As he spoke, Orochimaru's mouth opened wide in shock.
And from his mouth, a drenched Orochimaru 'crawled' out.
After the new Orochimaru appeared, the original body, heavily injured, suddenly turned dull and became snake-like.
Great Serpent Transformation Jutsu!
A technique with incredible effects.
Even Tang Ping's Nirvana Technique, which was developed with creativity, had 'borrowed' from this jutsu.
The effect was to allow the body to shed its skin like a snake, freeing itself from damage and seals.
Unfortunately, this forbidden technique not only consumed an enormous amount of chakra but also inflicted significant physical harm, as it required splitting a large number of cells to create a new body, making it a technique only suitable for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's body was like clothing, and even after splitting cells multiple times, he could still create a new body.
Kakashi was stunned by this sight.
He had thought that by giving it his all, he could suppress Orochimaru, but he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
His chakra and stamina were nearly depleted, and he had been poisoned by snake venom, while his opponent seemed to be in complete control.
It was no wonder these veteran powerhouses were so formidable.
Thud! Thud!
Amid the dense footsteps, Jiraiya, wearing the Hokage hat and battle armor, stood on the half-broken Heaven-Earth Bridge, which was supported by giant wooden pillars above the lava lake.
Behind him were fully armed Konoha ninjas.
The sheer force of their presence indicated that Jiraiya was not messing around today.
The 'lineup' originally prepared for Orochimaru now had a new target—the Shell Organization.
Buzz! Buzz!
An additional layer of barrier was formed outside the existing one.
Apparently, this was a backup plan to prevent Orochimaru and Tang Ping from escaping.
"Jiraiya, are you so confident that you can handle us?"
Tang Ping shouted at the Leaf Village forces across the cliff, his right hand clenched in a fist.
At that moment, Senju Shusui, who was fighting Tang Ping, found himself enveloped in gravity, and several lava hands emerged from the lava lake, restraining the Wooden Puppet and the Wooden Dragon.
Sizzle! The scorched air filled with the smell of burning as the Wooden Puppet and the Wooden Dragon were instantly eroded by the terrifying heat, and their movements were restricted by gravity.
But it didn't end there!
Numerous runes appeared on the lava hands, further restraining Senju Shusui, who was standing atop the Wooden Puppet.
Single-handedly restraining Senju Shusui!
Regardless of his state, the truth was undeniable.
The lava began to engulf the Wooden Puppet and the Wooden Dragon, preparing to seal them away.
Sealing!
That was the best way to deal with Impure World Tsunade.
Otherwise, she would be immortal and have an infinite supply of chakra.
Who could withstand such power?
So, while fighting, Tang Ping had also set up this entire arrangement, and now he was giving the Leaf Village forces a taste of his power.
Look, I can single-handedly suppress the First Hokage of your Leaf Village.
"The depth of the Leaf Village's foundation is beyond your Shell Organization's comprehension!" Jiraiya's voice was deep and resolute.
The Leaf Village could not afford another failure.
That's why, this time, Jiraiya had personally led the mission to capture Orochimaru, confident that he could convince him to return to the village or, at the very least, cooperate with them.
He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
The Shell Organization!
This incredibly mysterious organization had also fallen into their trap—how could one not be delighted?
The Leaf Village had long sought to settle scores with the Shell Organization, as they had caused countless damages and losses.
But no matter how they investigated, no one knew where the Shell Organization was located; they only knew that they had been hired by the Land of the Scorching Sun several times and once by the Fire Country's feudal lord.
Jiraiya's target is now right before him, leaving him momentarily bewildered.
But once he comes to his senses, he doesn't waste any time and claps his hands, shouting.
"Sage Mode!"
Even before entering the barrier, he had already gathered enough natural energy to activate Sage Mode.
Oh right, Jiraiya now only needs three minutes to enter Sage Mode, not the lengthy five minutes anymore.
Although it's still far from the speed of Senju Shusui, who can enter with a single clap, or Tang Ping, who can enter in less than ten seconds with the Sage Body, Jiraiya's progress is still remarkably fast.
Gathering natural energy is a difficult task, and the faster one tries to do it, the harder it becomes.
It's like taking an exam.
Going from 0 to 80 points is easy, but every point after that becomes increasingly challenging.
The same goes for Sage Mode.
If it weren't for the Sage Body, Tang Ping wouldn't be able to enter Sage Mode in under ten seconds.
Jiraiya's progress is a testament to his relentless training regimen.
This is all thanks to Tang Ping, a time-traveler who destroyed Mystic Mountain, killed Rikudo Sennin, and led the coalition forces to defeat Konoha and capture Tsunade, leaving Jiraiya with a deep sense of loss and pain.
With such stimuli, it's no wonder his strength improved rapidly.
It's worth mentioning that Tang Ping hasn't kept track of his achievements; otherwise, he would realize how much his actions have boosted the strength of others.
He might even be able to compete for the title of 'Sage of Shinobi Education.'
Two toad sages, Fukasaku and Shima, appear on Jiraiya's shoulders.
In the past, when Mystic Mountain was still around, Jiraiya rarely used Sage Mode, and the only time he used it in a real battle was during the fight against the Rain Village before their demise in the original storyline.
But in this world with Tang Ping, Jiraiya uses Sage Mode whenever he encounters an important battle.
This is because Fukasaku and Shima no longer hold the position of 'High-Ranking Members of the Holy Land.'
With this change in status, the toad clan now depends on Konoha, so their attitude towards Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, has naturally shifted.
The two sages even began to guide Asuma in practicing Sage Mode.
In the past, if one wanted to learn Sage Mode... well, good luck with that.
Cough, cough... no, in the past, one would need the Great Toad Sage to speak up or for the toads to take a liking to them to have a chance at learning it.
But now, all it takes is for the Hokage to ask, and they must teach it.
Times have changed!
It can be said that the toad clan has been thoroughly subdued by Tang Ping.
However, compared to the fate of the Dragon Ground Cave, where all the snakes were annihilated, the toads are still in a much better situation.
As long as they remain obedient.
But for the toads, this is genuinely challenging.
They could endure the darkness if they hadn't experienced the glory of being the Holy Land.
If they hadn't experienced such glory, they might have been content with mediocrity like any other ordinary ninja beast clan.
That's why the toads chose to bet on Konoha.
Once Konoha defeats the Land of the Rising Sun and regains its position as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the toads will have a chance to reclaim the Holy Land.
This is also the reason why the toads are helping Konoha to the best of their abilities.
Jiraiya, in Sage Mode, leaps from the broken bridge, crossing a hundred-meter cliff and landing in the lava lake.
Boom!!
Like a heavy bomb, the terrifying force of his landing sends the surrounding lava flying, creating a terrifying scene.
"Not bad progress!"
Upon Jiraiya's arrival, Tang Ping secretly speeds up the process of sealing Senju Shusui.
He doesn't want to deal with both Senju Shusui and Jiraiya at the same time.
After all, Jiraiya in Sage Mode can single-handedly challenge Pain, a Six Paths powerhouse. If it weren't for the unique 'Teacher-Student Special Attack' and 'First Encounter Kill' of the Hokage faction, he might have even been the victor in that battle.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Tang Ping remains vigilant.
"Shell Organization, it's time to settle our scores!"
Jiraiya's eyes gleam with murderous intent.
He holds no favor for this mysterious organization that has been wreaking havoc on Konoha.
And today is the perfect opportunity.
On this lava lake, they will not only determine the victor but also their fate.
