Chapter 903
Seeing that the offensive of the Rain Tiger at Will Jutsu had stopped, Orochimaru finally breathed a sigh of relief and released the Summoning Jutsu.
"Poof!"
With a puff of smoke, the dying giant snake disappeared from the spot.
Compared to Orochimaru and Tsunade, Jiraiya on the other side was clearly having a much harder time.
But fortunately, to some extent, Jiraiya was the most proficient in defense among the three.
Facing the torrential Rain Tiger at Will shuriken, Gamaken guarded Jiraiya's front tightly with his huge body.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"
Gamaken used his fork to attack instead of defend, knocking down the shuriken falling from the air. With his other hand, he held his shield, intercepting the flying Rain Tiger at Will shuriken.
It was just that even the Rashomon, which symbolized the gate of hell, could not withstand these shuriken that were as surging as a tsunami, let alone the average-material shield in Gamaken's hand.
"CRACK!!!"
Sure enough, as expected, Gamaken's giant shield soon shattered into pieces.
So, at this moment, Gamaken's huge body was exposed to the sky full of shuriken.
Jiraiya was not like Orochimaru; he could not bring himself to forcibly use a summoning beast as a scapegoat.
Since Gamaken had done his best, then Gamaken could just retreat; he would not blame Gamaken.
At this moment, Jiraiya was prepared to face the sky full of Rain Tiger at Will shuriken alone.
But who would have thought that the next thing to happen would be something Jiraiya did not expect.
When he could have clearly released the Summoning Jutsu on his own and returned to Mount Myoboku, Gamaken just turned his back and stood firmly in front of Jiraiya.
"Ken!!!!"
Jiraiya looked at Gamaken's purple-red face in disbelief. At this moment, there was a hint of human-like guilt on Gamaken's face.
"I'm sorry, Jiraiya."
"It's just that I am too stupid."
Gamaken said guiltily, and the next second, his body trembled violently.
A massive amount of Rain Tiger at Will shuriken pierced Gamaken's back, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his huge body.
For a moment, Jiraiya's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Strong ninja instincts still made Jiraiya react quickly; he did not let Gamaken's sacrifice go to waste.
In fact, long before this, Jiraiya knew that Gamaken alone could not block the sky full of Rain Tiger at Will shuriken, so he had prepared a countermeasure early on.
Since he couldn't defend, why bother defending?
Since things had come to this, why not go all out! As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense.
Jiraiya, a hero of his generation, ultimately chose to confront the demigod's terrifying and powerful offensive head-on!
At this moment, Jiraiya had a shadow clone he had summoned in advance by his side.
Jiraiya and his shadow clone wove hand seals rapidly together. Just as Gamaken blocked the Rain Tiger at Will shuriken for Jiraiya, the ninjutsu Jiraiya had prepared was finally completed.
Then, Jiraiya forcibly released the Summoning Jutsu, sending Gamaken back to Mount Myoboku.
At this moment, Jiraiya's small body was exposed to the sky full of Rain Tiger at Will shuriken, appearing so thin and fragile.
Fire Style: Flame Bullet Jutsu!
Ninja Art: Toad Oil Jutsu!
Jiraiya and his shadow clone opened their mouths together; one spat out a scorching heatwave, while the other spat out thick, sticky oil.
Fire and oil merged in the air, instantly erupting with an even more terrifying fire!
Fire Style: Great Flame Bullet Jutsu!!
Jiraiya, on his own, released a composite Fire Style ninjutsu with terrifying power!
"HISS!!!!!"
The scorching oil-fire came into contact with the sky full of Rain Tiger at Will shuriken. A harsh sound rang out under the rain curtain, and in an instant, a massive amount of steam diffused in all directions, obscuring Jiraiya's figure.
As everyone knows, Water Style counters Fire Style; even if Water Style and Fire Style of the same level collide, Water Style will basically win.
Not to mention that under the current torrential rain, this Rain Tiger at Will Jutsu was a super-standard Water Style.
Although the large amount of steam from the liquid evaporation obscured the surrounding vision, it could be expected that the Fire Style Jiraiya had spent so much effort to release would be ruthlessly extinguished.
Just as Tsunade said, even if Hanzo of the Salamander relied on the rain, his chakra was not infinite.
With such a large-scale ninjutsu, Hanzo could not release it indefinitely.
Soon, Hanzo's chakra was faintly bottoming out, so he had to retract this massive Rain Tiger at Will Jutsu.
He looked to his left and right; on one side was a giant snake that had been skinned alive, and on the other was thick water vapor.
Seeing this, Hanzo of the Salamander slowly shook his head and made a move to leave.
He felt that under his full-strength attack, these three young ninjas should have already perished.
But just then.
"Poof!"
The giant snake disappeared on the spot, revealing Tsunade and Orochimaru inside.
At this moment, Tsunade looked incredibly disheveled, covered in blood, while Orochimaru, apart from looking a bit pale, was completely fine.
Hanzo of the Salamander stopped in his tracks, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes.
That was not all; the torrential rain in the sky was still falling, and the water vapor on the other side of Hanzo of the Salamander was soon washed away by the rain.
"Whew, whew, whew."
Jiraiya, who had become a bloody mess, was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
Even though he was incredibly disheveled, a fact that surprised Hanzo of the Salamander was laid out before him.
—Jiraiya was actually not dead! ===== CHAPTER 905 =====
