Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Gap Between Stronger Opponents
The unprecedented pressure made Sasuke start to understand the gap between himself and top-tier opponents.
Although he had techniques like Raiden (Lightning Release) and Thunderclap,
even against Jiraiya, he could still take advantage of speed.
But without powerful attacks to complement it, simply using a ninja sword against a ninja of Jiraiya's level was completely useless.
Moreover, Jiraiya's ninjutsu power was also extremely formidable.
Sasuke... could not stop it!
Even when using ninjutsu to counterattack, Sasuke was clearly at a disadvantage.
Adding to that, Jiraiya's taijutsu was also no joke.
In this situation, defeating Jiraiya... was very difficult!
Sasuke's mood became heavy, "Am I still too weak to face a Sannin-level opponent?"
Cough cough!
Kimmaru, who had gotten up from the ground, looked at his hands.
Just one strike almost took him out!
No wonder he was at the same level as Orochimaru-sama.
Facing such a monster, if he held back any longer,
he might accidentally die!
He had to use all his power.
Kimmaru raised his head and flicked his arm gently, the power of the Corpse Bone Path erupted.
Skin that had previously vanished started to grow back.
At the same time, Kimmaru firmly grabbed his hand bones and suddenly yanked, pulling out a long bone blade.
He looked up at Jiraiya.
Black lines began appearing on his body.
The moment these black lines appeared, Kimmaru's aura suddenly changed.
A powerful chakra fluctuation erupted suddenly.
Jiraiya sensed the change and immediately frowned.
'What's this?'
Suddenly, the aura had increased so much, and the chakra fluctuation was so intense.
There was even a strange, eerie chakra!
Did he use a cursed seal?
Sasuke frowned. Using the cursed seal to fight Jiraiya was indeed a good method.
But combining the cursed seal and Thunderclap was difficult for Sasuke to achieve right now.
Against Jiraiya, the speed brought by Thunderclap made Sasuke feel more secure.
'Combining Thunderclap with Chidori... There's still a chance to injure this guy!'
'Kimmaru just needs to give me an opening.'
With that thought, Sasuke glanced at Kimmaru.
He hoped Kimmaru would understand his intentions, but Kimmaru had only one thought right now.
That was to block Jiraiya and give Sasuke a chance to escape.
As for himself, Kimmaru had already stopped thinking about leaving.
Ignoring Sasuke's gaze, Kimmaru's back suddenly erupted with bone spikes, and he fully activated his battle mode.
Seeing Kimmaru's transformation, Jiraiya's gaze became even more focused on Kimmaru.
'The Kaguya Clan's bloodline limit, which was extinct in the Mist Village!'
'The Kaguya Clan was indeed once a terrifying existence that made countless ninjas tremble in fear!'
'Orochimaru actually found a bloodline-limit ninja from a clan that had been exterminated.'
Jiraiya couldn't help but smile wryly.
Now Sasuke, who had also been deceived by Orochimaru, was the second surviving member of the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru must have been targeting bloodline-limit ninjas from exterminated clans!
"I, Kaguya Kimmaru, will test the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, today! Let me see what kind of being the legendary Sannin truly is!"
With that, Kimmaru attacked.
Activating his cursed seal form one, Kimmaru's speed surged several times.
The sudden increase in speed surprised Jiraiya.
But it was only a slight surprise.
It wasn't enough to make him afraid.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two shadow clones appeared, and all three Jiraiyas rushed toward Kimmaru at high speed.
The four figures collided quickly.
Two clones teamed up with Jiraiya, and the three launched attacks on Kimmaru.
The intense taijutsu collision erupted.
As a member of the Kaguya clan, Kimmaru's bloodline limit leaned heavily towards taijutsu.
Now, fighting three opponents, he didn't fall behind in taijutsu.
Seeing this, Sasuke couldn't help but take a breath.
He unleashed Thunderclap once again.
Speed surged to the next level as he quickly dashed toward Jiraiya.
The metallic ninja sword in his hand slashed out, but Jiraiya also dodged.
Watching the blade crackling with thunder pass by.
Jiraiya felt the pressure mounting!
'These two's taijutsu... has already reached this level!'
Even with the help of two shadow clones, Jiraiya still felt the strain.
Boom!
Suddenly, Kimmaru eliminated one of Jiraiya's clones.
Turning to face Jiraiya's main body, a bone spike in his hand shot forward.
'It's really difficult to compete in taijutsu.'
'Ninjutsu Needle Earth Burial!'
Hair immediately wrapped around his body, and as the bone spike struck Jiraiya, it couldn't break his defense.
However, the impact sent Jiraiya's body flying backward.
At this moment, Sasuke wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
'This is the chance!'
'Chidori!!!'
Suddenly, a pleasant bird chirp rang out.
Lightning surged through Sasuke's hand, quickly gathering into a lightning sphere that flickered wildly in his palm.
The next second, with the speed of Thunderclap, Sasuke caught up to the retreating Jiraiya.
With Chidori in his hand, he thrust it fiercely toward Jiraiya's heart.
Crackle~~Zzzz...
However, at that moment, Jiraiya's mouth curled into a slight smile.
'Has he even learned Kakashi's Raikiri!'
'And he can already release it without needing hand seals? What a terrifying little brat!'
'Ninjutsu—Hair Needle Thousand Birds!!!'
Suddenly, Jiraiya's hardened hair, which had been wrapping around him, shot out a series of hair needles toward Sasuke's direction.
The speed was so fast that, in the blink of an eye, it reached Sasuke's face.
And it seemed that in the next second, it could instantly turn Sasuke into a pincushion.
Sasuke's eyes flickered rapidly.
'Dodge... there's no time!'
Damn it!
This guy, even in this state, can release a second ninjutsu, using two different ninjutsu techniques in quick succession.
This isn't something an ordinary ninja can do.
The hair needles were already closing in.
'Chidori Flow!!'
Zzzz!
The Chidori in Sasuke's hand suddenly changed shape. Originally intended for attack, the Chidori turned into a powerful electrical current that surrounded Sasuke's entire body.
At the same time, Sasuke leapt backward.
He avoided some of the hair needles, while the remaining ones were blocked by the Chidori Flow.
A small portion, however, pierced through Sasuke's arm.
With his arms crossed in front of his body, Sasuke stopped and looked at the small blood holes on his arm.
The pain was starting to set in!
What he had thought was an opportunity had instead become a chance for Jiraiya to counter.
Sasuke's injured arms trembled slightly.
The hair needles had even pierced through Sasuke's arm bones…
