Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Suppression Power from the Three Ninjas
Jiraiya's expression instantly became serious.
His gaze toward Sasuke grew increasingly complex. The Sharingan was the symbol of the Uchiha clan.
This was something that didn't need to be elaborated on.
When combined with Sasuke's physique, and considering the remaining members of the Uchiha clan…
Even without thinking too much, one could tell that the person in front of him, dressed in Anbu clothing that clearly didn't quite fit, with this height and build, was…
"Uchiha Sasuke!"
Jiraiya suddenly called out Sasuke's name.
Sasuke, who was preparing to take action, smiled helplessly.
He raised his hand, removing the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
As soon as Sasuke's face appeared before Jiraiya, the latter silently sighed!
"Why?"
"Uchiha Sasuke, you were a genius of Konoha, why… Why did you fall for Orochimaru's temptation?"
"Your future was…"
Future?
The future of staying in Konoha?
Such a thing didn't need to be said Konoha held no special meaning for Sasuke.
So whether he left or stayed was not a big issue.
Tsuchi, Itachi, and all those problems didn't affect Sasuke's decision. Leaving Konoha was simply a matter of going to Orochimaru's place to learn the Sage Art of the Ryuchi Cave.
Moreover, Sasuke now needed to find a quiet, undisturbed place to study the forbidden jutsu from the Book of Seals.
That was all.
"Three Ninjas, Jiraiya!"
"You talk too much! Are we going to fight or not?"
"If we don't fight, are we leaving?"
Interrupted by Sasuke, Jiraiya looked at the firm determination in Sasuke's eyes.
Thinking back to the events of the Uchiha clan, he felt a great deal of helplessness.
Sasuke, consumed by hatred, must have received a promise from Orochimaru to help him with his revenge.
Otherwise, why would someone like Sasuke, a genius, leave Konoha?
But no matter what, Sasuke's decision had led to a fact.
He had stolen the Book of Seals and defected from Konoha!
This act could be considered the worst act of betrayal in Konoha's history.
"Leave?"
"Do you think you can escape from me today?"
Jiraiya's tone suddenly shifted, and in that instant, a terrifying pressure appeared.
The might of the Three Ninjas was no joke.
In that moment, a gust of wind surged, sweeping toward Sasuke and Kimimaro.
At the same time, Kimimaro became highly alert.
The man in front of him was one of the Three Ninjas, equal to Orochimaru himself, not someone you could just run into casually.
And he had to make sure Sasuke could leave safely Sasuke was Orochimaru's most important vessel.
Nothing could go wrong.
With this thought, Kimimaro raised his hand and took the initiative to strike first.
"Ten Finger Piercing!"
Kimimaro suddenly raised his hand, aiming at Jiraiya, and in the next moment, the power of the Shikotsumyaku activated.
Bang, bang!
Bones like bullets shot out from his fingertips.
Jiraiya froze for a moment.
'This is…'
In a state of surprise, Jiraiya instantly dodged.
The next moment, Kimimaro's footsteps were rapidly closing in, his body skimming over the ground, trailing a long cloud of dust behind him.
Jiraiya glanced at Kimimaro, who was charging toward him.
'Not bad, decent speed!'
Trying to close the distance and fight me up close?
Jiraiya raised his hand to form seals, and unexpectedly, he quickly closed the distance, charging forward.
When the two were within three meters of each other…
"Wild Lion's Mane Technique!!!"
Suddenly, Jiraiya's hair seemed to awaken its own consciousness, transforming into countless tentacles, rapidly writhing toward Kimimaro.
At an incredible speed, it quickly wrapped around Kimimaro's ankle and began to crawl up his leg.
Kimimaro swung his bone blade, trying to sever Jiraiya's hair.
But in the next second, Jiraiya was already close.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The familiar sound of a whirl of wind filled the air.
A Rasengan flew straight toward Kimimaro's chest.
Kimimaro's eyes suddenly contracted.
His face turned even paler!
Boom!
The Rasengan struck with terrifying force, exploding against Kimimaro's crossed arms.
Kimimaro was immediately blasted away.
The powerful shockwave sent him rolling across the ground like a ball.
His skin, which had been blocking the Rasengan, was completely shredded, revealing his white bones underneath.
If not for the resilience of his Shikotsumyaku, which gave his bones extraordinary hardness, this blow might have been fatal.
In the blink of an eye, Kimimaro had been sent flying more than ten meters away.
Jiraiya slowly stood up, turning to look in another direction.
Crackling sounds echoed.
"Lightning Style!"
"God Speed!"
"Flash of Lightning!"
Crack, crack…
Sasuke's body was surrounded by electric sparks. The next moment, the sound of a ninja blade unsheathing could be heard.
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with surprise.
In the instant the lightning struck, a silver-white blade light appeared right in front of him!
It was heading straight for his neck.
Just as the blade was about to touch his neck…
Jiraiya grabbed Sasuke's wrist with one hand.
The powerful grip made Sasuke freeze for a moment.
Lightning Style!
"Electrify…"
The thunder that exploded around Sasuke's body surged wildly.
Sensing danger, Jiraiya quickly released Sasuke's wrist and flipped backward to avoid Sasuke's ninja blade.
As he rose, his body quickly slid back, and Jiraiya's hands turned into countless afterimages.
His speed of forming seals was so fast that even Sasuke was a bit stunned.
"Fire Style~ Fireball Jutsu…"
Jiraiya's timing in battle was impeccable.
Sasuke now felt something different. Although in his lightning-fast state, he was faster than the Three Ninjas, that didn't mean he could easily suppress them.
Just like now.
His attack had failed, and the initiative was instantly seized by Jiraiya.
Looking at the terrifying flames rapidly closing in on him, Sasuke could already feel the scorching heat in the air, even before the flames fully engulfed him.
He quickly accelerated, performing a dazzling flicker and narrowly escaping the range of the Fireball Jutsu.
However, the next second boom, boom, boom!!
The explosions behind him made cold sweat break out on Sasuke's forehead.
If he had been hit, he would have been turned to dust!
This level of Fire Style was this the power of the Three Ninjas?
