Neither Jiraiya nor Gama Ken was the real body, but a Shadow Clone.
Just then, the Gama Ken that had been cut in half, its body still gushing with blood, suddenly exploded, turning into a thick cloud of smoke, quickly dissipating in the air. At the same time, the originally turbulent, wave-filled sea surface slowly became calm and waveless.
And Naruto had already found Jiraiya's true location.
Naruto stared at the sea surface beneath his feet, the originally calm sea surface suddenly bulged, as if inflated like a balloon.
Here it comes!
As time passed, the bulging sea surface became higher and higher, as if some enormous force was pushing it from below. A huge harpoon, like lightning, cut through the sea surface, carrying a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for him.
This time, Naruto did not choose to dodge. He raised his right hand, and an enormous sword, as if from the heavens, appeared out of thin air in front of him!
Immediately afterward, carrying an aura like divine punishment descending, it fell like a meteor towards the incoming harpoon.
The giant sword, like Mount Tai pressing down, with unparalleled power, directly suppressed the harpoon, making it unable to move. The two collided fiercely in the air, emitting deafening sounds, sparks flying, as if two meteorites had collided in the sky. Finally, the giant sword pushed the harpoon aside and continued to fall into the sea in the direction from which the harpoon had come, stirring up monstrous waves.
Before long, a large amount of blood stained the sea surface red.
A planetary black ball appeared in Naruto's hand, two transparent rings rhythmically moving up and down, and then he casually tossed the ball into the air.
The Uchiha and others who were watching the battle hurriedly retreated, and even Ao, who was still in a daze, was immediately taken away from the scene by Kakashi.
The small ball rapidly fell in the air in free fall. When it finally fell into the sea, it instantly triggered an extremely terrifying explosion. The entire sea surface was lifted into huge waves, as if a ferocious beast was roaring in anger.
The energy and impact generated by the explosion caused the surrounding air to tremble, forming a powerful shockwave. In an instant, a hemispherical vacuum area appeared on the sea surface, inside which was a huge Toad, eyes rolling back, dying and on the verge of death.
Bang!
Another burst of smoke, Gama Ken's summoning was canceled, and Jiraiya, who had been hidden inside it, now revealed his figure.
The tattered white hair that enveloped him slowly retracted, revealing his somewhat bloated figure. The appearance of his face had changed greatly, the patterns on his face had become more complex, his entire nose had become extremely swollen and covered with small bumps, and his eyes had directly become frog-like, slightly bulging and protruding from their sockets.
He was simply inhuman.
Two green-skinned Toads were standing on his shoulders, but at this moment, they seemed to be arguing about something.
"This power is truly ugly, Jiraiya. In this form, you seem more like the one who has fallen."
Naruto's face showed disgust. This was why he wanted Orochimaru to research Sage Arts. Was that appearance really still human? Wave Country needed its own Sage Mode.
Naruto's voice also stopped the Two Great Sages, Fukasaku and Shima, from arguing, and they looked at Naruto, who was enveloped in the Tailed Beast Cloak.
Fukasaku on the right shoulder said, "Little Jiraiya, is this the enemy this time?"
"What a terrifying amount of Chakra."
Shima on the other side also sighed.
"Yes, he is Minato's child, and also the Child of Destruction in the Great Toad Sage's words." Jiraiya's expression was very solemn.
"Since he is the Child of Destruction, then it would be best to just get rid of him." Fukasaku narrowed his eyes.
"We need to deal with him as soon as possible. Gama Ken's injuries are too severe. I need to go back and take care of him quickly!"
Hearing this, Shima's expression also became serious. She was also anxious to see her child: "Little Jiraiya, use Oil. Honey, prepare Wind Release!"
"Okay!"
Standing in the unfilled puddle, the man and two toads clapped their hands together simultaneously, creating a crisp sound. Immediately afterward, their bodies leaned back at the same time, their cheeks bulging high, as if accumulating power.
"Sage Art: Goemon!"
Jiraiya spat out Chakra-transformed oil, Fukasaku spat out gale-force winds, and Shima spat out flames. The wind aided the fire's momentum, and the fire borrowed the oil's power. The three merged together in the air, producing a terrifying high temperature and destructive force. This temperature was enough to melt metal, evaporate moisture, and even destroy rocks. Any tangible object that came into contact with this sea of fire would be instantly swallowed and turned to ashes.
"Not a bad attack!"
That overwhelming attack was indeed difficult for Naruto to dodge, but he didn't need to.
Naruto's arm rose, his palm pointing at Jiraiya, and the tips of his four tails also pointed at Naruto's palm. Black and blue, two profound Chakras rotated wildly like a vortex, interweaving and condensing.
It was the Tailed Beast Ball!
For this kind of large-scale Ninjutsu clash, the Tailed Beast Ball was still more effective.
Terrifying Chakra erupted from Naruto's hand, surging out like a volcanic eruption, transforming into an extremely dazzling pillar of Chakra light, colliding with the Sage Art: Goemon cast by Jiraiya.
The two forces collided in the most intense way. The sky seemed to be torn apart, and the Chakra light pillar and the sea of flames intertwined into a shocking picture. The light radiated in all directions, and the deafening roar resounded through the clouds, even causing the surrounding space to tremble.
The seawater, which had originally converged towards the center like a mountain collapsing, spread out again in all directions.
In the end, Naruto, relying on his four tails and his own Chakra, had the upper hand with the Tailed Beast Ball. The terrifying Chakra light pillar pressed down, and Jiraiya's toad eyes trembled slightly as a huge Chakra light ball appeared in his hand.
"Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"
The blue Chakra ball collided with the Tailed Beast Ball, once again erupting with dazzling light. Fortunately, this Tailed Beast Ball had been weakened by Jiraiya's previous Goemon, and coupled with the Sage Mode's enhancement of his own defensive power, Jiraiya was not directly killed by this Tailed Beast Ball.
He also stopped using Chakra to stand on the water surface, and instead directly dived into the seawater, using the seawater's buffer to alleviate the damage from the Tailed Beast Ball.
