Naruto stared expressionlessly at Jiraiya, who was standing on Gama Ken's head, left hand forward, right palm back, squatting down in that ridiculous posture, a slight twitch appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Jiraiya wasn't a bad person, and his funny appearance actually made it easy to like him, but it was just because of their different positions, and the other party's arrogant appearance did indeed make Naruto dislike him.
Jiraiya bit open his palm, used blood to draw two lines on his face, then his wrists collided together, and his hands clasped together.
"Gama Ken, next I need to use Sage Mode, summon the two great Sages. During this time, my hands cannot be opened, so I'll have to trouble you to buy me some time."
"What... I understand. Although I'm not very useful, I'll do my best to hold him back."
Gama Ken's frog eyes widened slightly, and some cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.
"Aren't you going to come out and say hello?"
Naruto asked Minato Namikaze in his heart, who had been keeping quiet since just now. He hadn't blocked the Sealing Space's observation of the outside world, so he had been watching everything that happened outside since receiving the news.
Minato Namikaze's expression was also a bit complicated. He originally wanted to pretend he didn't see anything, but he didn't expect Naruto to point him out anyway. Naruto still wanted to condemn his heart.
"If I stop you, will you let Jiraiya-sensei go?"
"No, I just want you to say goodbye to him."
Naruto's answer was very direct. He just wanted to see if there would be a "benevolent teacher and filial disciple" scene, after all, a Hokage killing his teacher wasn't tradition, but it seemed he wouldn't see it.
Hearing Naruto's answer, Minato Namikaze's expression didn't change much. This answer was what he had expected.
"In essence, I'm already a dead man. Going out to meet Jiraiya-sensei now would only add to the trouble."
"Although it's a bit shameless to say this, Naruto, could you please spare Jiraiya-sensei some pain for my sake?"
Naruto was silent: "Don't worry, I have no intention of torturing Jiraiya."
After speaking, neither of them spoke again, because Gama Ken had already swung his huge fish fork towards Naruto.
The best way to buy time is to take the initiative and put the opponent into your own attack rhythm.
Just as Gama Ken's fish fork was about to hit Naruto, with just a flash of golden light, Naruto dodged Gama Ken's attack.
At the same time, Naruto's figure appeared above Jiraiya's head like a ghost. In his hand, a ball of blue light was condensed, and the Rasengan smashed down towards Jiraiya like a meteor.
However, Jiraiya was not intimidated by this sudden attack. After all, he was Minato Namikaze's teacher, and he had a deep understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He also knew the special features of Naruto's Flying Thunder God Technique from Nara Shikaku, so he had already prepared for it, and had been using Ninjutsu to sense the changes around him.
He seized the time difference between the appearance of the Flying Thunder God Technique mark and Naruto's attack, that is, at the moment when the Rasengan was about to hit him, Jiraiya nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding Naruto's attack, causing the other party's attack to land on Gama Ken's smooth head, directly blasting out a bloody wound.
"Ugh!"
Gama Ken also let out a cry of pain.
And Jiraiya also leaned back while dodging to the side, his cheeks bulging. Even with his hands clasped together, he could still perform Ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, converted the Chakra condensed in his body into oil, held it in his mouth, and sprayed it forcefully towards Naruto. At the same time, he used Fire Release to ignite the oil, turning it into an extremely hot, burning giant Flame Bullet.
Naruto didn't dodge. In his eyes, the originally rotating Three-Tomoe Sharingan instantly turned into vertical pupils. An extremely sharp long sword appeared in his hand, the sword body flashing with a cold light. Naruto injected his own Chakra into it, and a faint blue light appeared on the surface of the sword body.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto suddenly swung the long sword in his hand, with powerful force and fierce momentum, and slashed fiercely at the huge Flame Bullet spit out by Jiraiya. With a loud bang, the Flame Bullet was split in half by Naruto's sword, turned into two halves, and then dissipated in the air. At the same time, a Chakra sword energy still flew towards Jiraiya.
His figure flashed again, appearing at Jiraiya's side, and slashed the long sword sideways.
Still dodging the Chakra sword energy, Jiraiya had no time to evade Naruto's side chop. Jiraiya stopped dodging, and the hair on his body began to grow rapidly. He used Chakra to harden his silver hair, enveloping his entire body. At the same time, many hardened hairs stood up, launching an attack towards Naruto.
"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"
Naruto's expression remained unchanged. A layer of fiery red Chakra cloak had already appeared on his body, blocking the sharp, hardened white hair. The long sword in his hand did not lose momentum, and despite the layer of obstruction, it still deeply embedded itself into Jiraiya's waist and abdomen.
It was at the moment the long sword entered his body that a slight fluctuation appeared in Naruto's eyes.
Releasing the long sword in his hand, a burst of Wind Release Chakra erupted, directly blasting Jiraiya's body away.
Jiraiya, who was blasted into the air, had a look of surprise flash in his eyes, and his entire body exploded in mid-air.
"A clone technique and Exploding Tags?"
"It seems he used them when he summoned the Toad earlier."
But to be able to deceive his senses, Jiraiya does have some tricks.
Naruto's body leaped high again, and Gama Ken's harpoon directly smashed into his head, making him feel dizzy.
"I'm really useless."
Gama Ken's body swayed on the sea surface.
"Is he hiding inside the Toad?"
Naruto stood still in the air, looking at Gama Ken, who was swaying left and right, with a black ball already appearing in his hand.
"Hollow Flash!"
Naruto gripped the black ball tightly, as if pouring all his power into it. A black beam of light shot out from his hand, as swift as lightning. This black beam of light traversed the air at an astonishing speed, instantly piercing through Gama Ken's body.
Gama Ken's eyes widened, and his body, which had been swaying, stopped instantly. The black beam of light did not disappear after piercing through Gama Ken's body. Naruto's arm moved downwards violently, carrying powerful energy and destructive force, directly splitting Gama Ken's body in two.
Looking at the huge Toad that had been split in two, there was no joy on Naruto's face, and he murmured.
"So that's how it is."
