Chapter 534: Shameless Combination

"Great Flame Bullet."

Jiraiya's cheeks bulged, and brown oil sprayed from his mouth. Just as this oil left his mouth, a raging fire ignited.

This move could be described as extremely vicious. It wasn't just a matter of being burned once; if one got stained by the oil, the flames would burn continuously.

Discovering that Jiraiya had given up using the Rasengan, Su Xiao was somewhat disappointed, and Zhan Long Shan slashed forward in his hand.

*Ding. *

The white hair, hard as iron, was slashed off. Su Xiao landed downward, and the burning oil sprayed toward him.

Just as Su Xiao was about to be swallowed by the flames, a clay bird with a wingspan of about four meters flew under Su Xiao's feet, carrying the falling Su Xiao and flying toward the side.

*Whoosh~*

The oil sprayed onto the ground, and the flames spread, burning continuously.

Standing on the back of the clay bird, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh; this was what a teammate was, supporting at the most critical moment.

"Well done."

Sasori looked at the wound on Jiraiya's chest that was still spurting blood. He understood why Pain had recruited Su Xiao; Su Xiao's close-quarters combat ability was stronger than anyone in the Akatsuki.

Jiraiya looked at Su Xiao in the sky. A white hair extended to his chest, and the white hair quickly stitched the wound.

"This way, there's no problem."

Jiraiya was worthy of being one of the Three Sannin. Facing the siege of Su Xiao and the other two, except for being slashed by Su Xiao, no one else's attacks had been able to hit him.

Dipping his thumb in blood, Jiraiya pressed one hand to the ground.

"Summoning Technique."

*Bang. *

A large cloud of white smoke rose, and voices of conversation appeared within the white smoke.

"It's Jiraiya, huh."

"Hmm, sorry to trouble you, Gamaken."

"It's fine. Although I am clumsy, I will try my best to help you."

The white smoke dissipated, and Jiraiya stood on the back of a giant toad. This toad was huge, the size of a two-story building. It held a U-shaped steel fork in one hand and a giant shield resembling a pot lid in the other.

Gamaken's strength was not weak; he was a very ideal summoning beast—brave in battle, obedient to commands, and more importantly, loyal.

Some summoning beasts would flee in times of danger, returning to the space where they resided, but Gamaken was different. As long as the summoner didn't give an order, he would fight until he was on the verge of death, and might even die in battle, which was extremely rare among summoning beasts.

"Gamaken, be careful. There are three enemies: one uses bombs, one controls puppets, and there is one who excels at close-quarters combat."

"Hmm, I'll help you block the close-quarters combatant and the puppet."

"Very good."

Jiraiya looked at Deidara in the sky. He prepared to resolve the one flying first; the various types of bombs from the other party made him extremely annoyed, and the bombs were a huge threat.

"Sasori, you block him. No need to injure the enemy, just block him."

Su Xiao shouted loudly from high altitude.

"Can do."

Sasori judged what tactics the three were going to adopt; it was a tactic that was almost shameless.

"Drag the enemy... use that."

Sasori took out a scroll; this was a storage scroll.

*Bang*, white smoke rose, and Sasori summoned a puppet. This was a man wearing a black robe. The man's skin looked dark due to anti-corrosion treatment, and there were traces of fixation at the joints throughout his body.

"This person is..."

Jiraiya, who was about to release ninjutsu, stopped. He recognized this puppet.

"The Third Kazekage!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath. He had fought the Third Kazekage. When he was young, the other party's iron sand had almost cost him his life.

Even today, there was still a trace amount of iron sand in Jiraiya's arm that couldn't be removed.

Sasori, inside Hiruko, waved his hand, and the Third Kazekage flew up out of thin air. The iron in the mud nearby floated up, gradually forming a giant iron sand hammer. Under Sasori's control, the iron sand hammer smashed toward Jiraiya. Discovering the attack, Gamaken raised the giant shield in his hand to block in front.

*Clang! *

A loud noise spread, dust rose, and Jiraiya behind Gamaken performed hand seals the moment the dust spread.

"Shadow Clone Technique."

*Bang. * Two shadow clones appeared in the dust.

When the smoke dissipated, Jiraiya was still standing behind Gamaken, and the two shadow clones disappeared. Jiraiya conceived a tactic. If the tactic succeeded, at least two of the three Akatsuki members present would be left behind.

Jiraiya didn't know that the most suffocating battle of his life was about to begin.

"Bai Ye, C formation."

Deidara in the sky was full of smiles, using his hands to form a gun shape aimed at Jiraiya. The so-called C formation was just to confuse the enemy, making the enemy mistakenly believe that the three had been cooperating for a long time, creating psychological pressure.

"Same thought."

Su Xiao took out the Spider Queen from his storage space. The remaining time for the 8x Optical Infrared Detection Scope (Active) was still 11 minutes.

Deidara manipulated the clay bird under Su Xiao's feet, and the clay bird flew toward the distance, stopping after about a kilometer.

Su Xiao was half-crouched on the back of the clay bird, drank a bottle of alchemy secret medicine to stabilize his injuries, and aimed the crosshairs at Jiraiya behind the giant toad.

Just as the muzzle aimed at Jiraiya, Jiraiya immediately sensed it.

"This feeling... an ultra-long-range ninjutsu."

Jiraiya's perception was extremely strong. He sensed it before Su Xiao even fired. It was impossible to snipe Jiraiya alone.

Su Xiao wasn't alone; he had two very strong teammates.

"Iron Sand Rain."

Dense iron sand shot toward Jiraiya. Jiraiya swung his white hair, and with a roll of his hair, all the iron sand was rolled away.

Su Xiao pulled the trigger, the firing pin struck the end of the bullet, a dent appeared at the end of the bullet, the bullet head shot out, and after acceleration through the rifling, it left the muzzle.

*Whoosh~*

Because the distance was far, the bullet made a slight sound of wind breaking during flight, breaking through layers of air waves.

The bullet flew toward Jiraiya's head. At this time, Jiraiya had just blocked the Iron Sand Rain and was catching his breath.

The bullet flew to within 100 meters of Jiraiya, and a stinging pain came from the back of Jiraiya's head. He had felt this stinging pain many times.

*Crack. *

Fresh blood splashed, the bullet sank into flesh and blood, blasting open a blood hole the thickness of an arm. Gamaken under Jiraiya's feet let out a muffled groan.

At this time, Jiraiya was tilting his head, and there was a hole the thickness of a finger in the white hair on the side of his neck. The broken hair fell onto Gamaken's back, stained red by Gamaken's blood.

"The power is astonishing."

Jiraiya's brows locked tightly. He felt that things were not looking good today. Just now, he had predicted that the enemy's attack would hit Gamaken. Although he himself had blocked the bullet, he still used his hair to block the bullet.

Facts proved that a heavy sniper rifle could shoot through Jiraiya's hair.

"Iron Sand Spear."

Sasori controlled the Third Kazekage to attack, and a spear formed by iron sand stabbed over. The iron sand spear was three meters long. This wasn't to attack Jiraiya, but to attack Gamaken.

All three of Su Xiao's group saw that this summoning beast had strong defensive capabilities; with it present, it would be difficult to injure Jiraiya.

Sure enough, the iron sand spear was blocked by Gamaken, who held a giant shield. Gamaken swung the U-shaped iron fork and knocked the iron sand spear to pieces with a *clang*.

Just as Gamaken blocked Sasori's attack, Su Xiao fired immediately.

With a *crack*, this bullet drilled into Gamaken's head, blasting open a blood hole. The white hair Jiraiya used to try to block the bullet was still pierced through.

Gamaken's body was too huge, and his physical strength was extremely high; he could withstand dozens of shots, not to mention Jiraiya using his hair to slow down the bullet's kinetic energy for him.

A breeze blew across the battlefield. Jiraiya knew that this wouldn't work; he had roughly understood the attack methods of the three enemies, and it was time to start a counterattack.

Just as Jiraiya wanted to counterattack, a whistling sound came from above his head. A clay bird flew past, and when it passed over his head, it dropped several white objects. Deidara, the "bomber" of the squad, had arrived. ===== CHAPTER 535 =====

Jiraiya had just intended to counterattack when a whistling sound came from above his head. A clay bird flew past, dropping several white objects as it passed over him; Deidara, the "bomber" of the squad, had arrived.
