Chapter 847: Yamayama Gyuichi's Death!
Chapter 847: Yamayama Gyuichi's Death!
"Water Break Wave!"
Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, took the initiative and fired the first attack.
Whoosh! A silver-white pillar of water surged forward, effortlessly slicing through Tang Ping.
However, Jiraiya's toad-like features showed no signs of relief.
If the opponent was only capable of this, then they didn't deserve his utmost attention.
The simplest move.
The wooden puppets and wooden dragons, still enveloped in lava, showed no signs of dissipating.
Jiraiya unleashed a powerful Frog Fist towards the side, colliding with the massive lava fist.
Boom!
The lava lake beneath their feet erupted with terrifying force, resembling a towering wave crashing upon the surroundings.
"It seems that the Fifth Hokage's strength has grown significantly!"
Tang Ping's calm voice echoed.
That previous 'Great Eruption' punch, capable of punching through even a small mountain, was effortlessly blocked by Jiraiya, which indeed surprised him.
According to his estimation, even if the opponent could withstand the punch, it shouldn't have been this effortless.
"Frog Cry Illusion!"
Fukasaku, the Toad Sage, cast this sound-based genjutsu.
Tang Ping showed no reaction.
He had already demonstrated his formidable resistance to genjutsu on the battlefield, so he didn't expect to use it to gain an advantage.
Jiraiya must have been fully aware of his abilities, yet he chose to test him in this manner, indicating one thing.
He wanted to verify this information to prepare for the upcoming battle.
It can be said that among the top-tier warriors, few have poor intellect, for their lack of wit would have resulted in a tall grass-covered grave.
Even the Great Pillar had an incredibly sharp mind during battles.
A certain prince, favored by the Six Paths Sage, can disregard this statement.
"Yellow Springs Swamp!"
Jiraiya unleashed this A-rank Earth Release technique.
However, in Sage Mode, the technique was enhanced to a Sage Technique.
Note that in Tang Ping's opinion, only techniques specifically modified for Sage Chakra, capable of fully utilizing its advantages, and then empowered by Sage Chakra, were considered Sage Arts.
Jiraiya's technique was merely a Sage Technique.
Gurgle!
The surrounding lava rapidly transformed into a muddy swamp.
Evidently, Jiraiya was attempting to seize control of the 'home field' advantage from Tang Ping.
If the battlefield was in a lava environment, it would give Tang Ping a significant advantage, so Jiraiya naturally sought to reverse this.
"Magma Doton: Meteor Volcano!"
Tang Ping retreated to a safe distance from the swamp area, then formed hand seals, executing this S-rank forbidden technique.
Compared to the past, his growth was immeasurable, and the power of this forbidden technique had also undergone a tremendous change.
Clusters of lava rose into the sky, defying gravity.
"Jiraiya, stop him quickly!"
Although Fukasaku didn't understand Tang Ping's intentions, he wouldn't stand idly by.
Regardless of the enemy's actions, stopping them was the priority.
Unfortunately!
The Leaf Village hadn't obtained any intelligence from the Cloud Village regarding the Shell Organization's use of this S-rank forbidden technique.
The same technique, used at different times, exhibited vastly different power.
At the very least, Tang Ping's strength far surpassed that of the Cloud Village during that time, resulting in a qualitative change in both power and range.
Due to the barrier, the lava clusters only reached a moderate height before starting to descend.
During this process, a formidable force came into play.
Gravity!
First, anti-gravity allowed the lava to rise from the ground, then by removing the anti-gravity and applying multiple times gravity, the falling speed of the lava increased exponentially.
Previously, Tang Ping's control over gravity wasn't at this level; he needed to fly into the air and convert his chakra into lava to achieve such effects.
Now, by directly manipulating the existing lava and controlling gravity, he reduced his chakra consumption by several times while increasing the power tenfold, showcasing the terrifying nature of this forbidden technique.
"Great Onmyudama!"
Jiraiya unleashed a powerful single-target ultimate technique, slamming it towards Tang Ping, aiming to interrupt his technique.
Action: Toad Sage
For this attack, Tang Ping naturally couldn't use his face to withstand the Meteor Volcano. He could only choose to dodge.
"Mind Turn Technique!"
A surge of spiritual energy instantly flooded into Tang Ping's mind.
Got him!
At the edge of the distant Lava Lake, Yamayama Gyuichi's eyes flashed with excitement.
However, before he could even signal, he suddenly felt something amiss.
An immense and boundless spiritual force, like a raging tsunami, rushed towards him, causing blood to flow from his eyes and nose, and his body to go limp.
"Gyuichi!"
Kuyahada Dinzou, who was protecting him, exclaimed in shock.
On the Lava Lake, Tang Ping also withdrew his gaze and gave an evaluation.
'Overestimating your abilities!'
Yes, he acknowledged that the Yamanaka clan's spiritual secret technique was indeed a powerful tool for the weak to overcome the strong.
But it also depended on who it was used on!
If it were used on powerful individuals like Jiraiya or Senju Shusui, even if it had no effect, they wouldn't be in danger.
But if used on Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Suigintou... those skilled in illusions or Yin Style, it would definitely backfire.
Using it on Tang Ping, who had mastered the Soul Field and had the backing of an extremely powerful ally, was like stepping into a trap. Unless his spiritual energy was stronger than Tang Ping's, he was as good as dead.
Dead!
Yamayama Gyuichi, the Elite Jonin and leader of the Yamanaka clan, who could even threaten Kage-Level Powerhouses with his spiritual secret technique, died just like that.
Although he wanted to maintain the overall plot to trap Rikudo, it didn't mean Tang Ping would let the story unfold as planned.
As long as Akatsuki resurrected the Ten-Tails and lured out the Masterminds, he was satisfied. In other aspects, he didn't care much.
For someone like Yamayama Gyuichi, a clan leader who survived until the end of the original plot, killing him now was no more difficult than squashing an ant.
"Gyuichi!!"
Jiraiya, of course, witnessed this scene and launched an enraged attack.
The three-in-one Sage Mode made his strength formidable, not to mention that in recent years, due to Tang Ping's provocation, he hadn't wasted a moment or an ounce of energy, instead focusing entirely on self-improvement, making his combat power far superior to that in the original plot.
He attacked fiercely, and even Tang Ping had to respond seriously.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Meteor Volcano, a forbidden technique, had already been completed. Otherwise, Tang Ping would have suffered some losses.
"Fifth Hokage, you don't expect me to just stand here and let you kill me, do you? Only those with the resolve to die have the right to kill. Isn't that the resolve a ninja should have?"
Tang Ping looked up at the falling Lava 'Meteor' and mocked Jiraiya, who had lost his composure due to Yamayama Gyuichi's death.
A ninja's profession was to kill.
It couldn't be that only you were allowed to kill, but others weren't allowed to kill you, right?
"No one in Konoha who possesses the Flame Will fears death, but they shouldn't die at the hands of someone like you!"
Jiraiya retorted.
"Flame Will, not even dogs believe in it. I don't think you're unaware of who holds the Flame Will. Do they even abide by it?"
Tang Ping mocked.
Due to the book "My Struggle," the entire Shinobi World knew how hypocritical the Hokage Faction was about the Flame Will. It was all about letting others burn themselves out to illuminate the village, but when it came to themselves, they had a different set of rules.
So, when faced with Jiraiya's words, he hesitated slightly because he knew the other party was right.
"Jiraiya, calm down. The opponent is preparing to use psychological warfare!"
Shisui reminded Jiraiya.
"I understand!"
Jiraiya also regained his composure.
No matter what the opponent said, for the sake of the village, they had to eliminate him.
"Now, it's time to enjoy this grand fireworks display!"
However, Tang Ping didn't immediately take advantage of the opportunity to strike.
Because the 'Meteor' in the sky had already started to fall.
Under the force of gravity, the Lava clumps fell at a terrifying speed, trailing long tails of flames.
The forbidden technique, capable of devastating the world, began its indiscriminate attack on the target within the barrier.
