Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Thunder That Shines Over Konoha
In this moment, cold sweat began to pour down Jiraiya's forehead.
The blade, carrying lightning, swept toward him.
He immediately bent down, moving as fast as possible to dodge.
The long sword quickly passed over his head, the sharp whistling of the wind echoing in his ears.
This caused Jiraiya's heart to tremble wildly.
So fast... this is different from before.
This time, it's not just speed; the power of this strike... is not simple!
Swish! Swish!
After reaching behind Jiraiya, Sasuke stabilized his body.
The next moment, he suddenly took a heavy step.
He quickly spun around, lowering his body as much as possible, and his eyes erupted with a second flash of lightning!
It's not over yet! Jiraiya...
Thunder Breathing!
First Form, Thunderclap Six Flash!!!
Lightning surged from the blade, running across Sasuke's entire body.
The next second, the flash reappeared, and Sasuke flew toward Jiraiya with incredible speed.
The blade, crackling with lightning, easily tore through the air.
All the Konoha ninjas on the rooftops, hearing the roar in the air and watching the lightning flash by, were stunned.
One flash!
Sasuke's blade swept across Jiraiya's shoulder.
Once again, Jiraiya dodged.
However, Sasuke did not stop.
Not even for a moment did he give Jiraiya a chance to catch his breath.
Second flash!
Jiraiya couldn't dodge in time and was instantly cut open across the abdomen.
Though he used his instincts to avoid the full depth of the wound, it was still painful.
Third flash!
Sasuke attacked again, and this time, Jiraiya was completely caught off guard by Sasuke's storm-like barrage.
It was impossible to avoid Sasuke's attacks simply with speed and taijutsu!
"Earth Style~ Earth Barrier..."
Boom boom boom!
The first earth wall rose.
The alloy ninja sword chopped down on the wall, and it instantly shattered.
Fourth flash!
Sasuke quickly changed direction, attacking from another angle.
But the second earth wall rose and blocked Sasuke's path again.
The ninja sword, now charged with terrifying lightning, pierced through the earth wall.
However, it couldn't break it completely.
Fifth flash! Sixth flash!
Sasuke, transformed into lightning, continued to change directions, but the earth walls kept rising one after another to block his way.
The final two strikes also failed to break through the Earth Barrier's defense.
This earth wasn't just ordinary dirt; it was earth infused with chakra.
Its defensive power was no joke.
After Sasuke stopped, Jiraiya quickly jumped away, clutching his abdomen where the wound had appeared.
Though not severe, if he hadn't used ninjutsu to block the attacks, he would likely have been injured much worse by now.
Jiraiya's gaze toward Sasuke became much more serious.
Blood flowed from his waist, and the Konoha ninjas who saw this scene were stunned.
"He... he's injured!"
They stuttered in disbelief.
"One of the Three Ninjas, Jiraiya-sama, was actually... injured by that Uchiha brat!"
He was one of the legendary Three Ninjas, a ninja on par with the Hokage.
Yet, this ninja was injured by the genius of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke!
Although it didn't seem to be a particularly serious injury, it was still something that left countless ninjas feeling utterly shocked.
"It seems that I can no longer look at you with the eyes of an ordinary genin!"
"That last move was powerful. Was it a ninjutsu you created yourself?"
Sasuke nodded.
After confirming this, Jiraiya couldn't help but mutter inwardly, What kind of monster is this? Not only did he create that lightning-style jutsu with astonishing speed, but he also combined sword techniques with taijutsu! Is this kid a monster or what?
"However! There's one thing you got wrong. This move... isn't over yet!"
Sasuke's face revealed a cold smile.
Thunder Breathing!
Second Form!
Crack!
Suddenly, Sasuke was enveloped by lightning, charging straight at Jiraiya.
Having experienced the terrifying power of the previous attack, Jiraiya didn't dare rely on taijutsu to dodge this time.
Shadow Clone!
He decided to use shadow clones to confuse Sasuke's attacks.
Although Sasuke had the Sharingan, in the blink of an eye, it would be impossible for him to pinpoint which clone was the real one.
But that didn't stop Sasuke from attacking.
Five clones, just perfect!
Thunder Breathing~ Second Form~ Rice Soul!!
With a single breath, Sasuke instantly slashed out five times, lightning flickering.
Four clones were instantly destroyed, and even Jiraiya himself was struck across the shoulder by Sasuke's blade.
Jiraiya looked at Sasuke in surprise.
"Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
His hair rapidly curled toward Sasuke, aiming to capture him.
Sasuke gently ran his hands over his ninja sword.
Thunder Breathing!
Third Form!
Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder!!
In an instant, the lightning from the sword exploded outward as if coming from all directions.
The bolts of lightning expanded like slashes, instantly cutting through Jiraiya's hair and erasing it.
As Jiraiya quickly retreated, he completed his next jutsu.
Earth Style: Underworld Swamp!!
In an instant, the ground beneath Sasuke's feet turned into a swamp, and his body began sinking, his feet trapped within.
It was difficult to extricate himself in a short time.
Jiraiya planned to trap Sasuke, knowing that with that terrifying speed and those powerful taijutsu-based attacks, any hit would be extremely difficult for him to bear in his current state.
"Do you think you can trap me?"
"Can you even do it?!"
Sasuke spoke as Jiraiya began forming seals. While trapped by the Underworld Swamp, Sasuke was in the perfect position for Jiraiya to attack.
But Sasuke wouldn't let him easily execute his jutsu.
Thunder Breathing!
Fourth Form!
Distant Thunder!
Sasuke thrust his ninja sword straight at Jiraiya, who was still mid-air.
Suddenly, lightning surged from all directions, as if Sasuke had gathered it, instantly breaking through the air to form a thick lightning snake, charging at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, still airborne, was caught off guard.
He has long-range attacks too?!
"Fire Style~ Fireball Jutsu..."
Flames erupted instantly, crashing against the lightning with a violent collision.
The sound of the explosion reverberated around the outskirts of Konoha.
The Konoha ninjas on the rooftops watched the fierce clash between the lightning and fire in the air.
The speed of these exchanges was so fast that they couldn't keep up, and the intensity of the battle was beyond anything they could comprehend. One of the combatants was still just a genin...
Jiraiya, panting, had just landed when the explosion's light hadn't even fully faded.
But beneath that explosive light, a more terrifying glow rapidly approached him, and that familiar sound of lightning cutting through the air echoed again.
Thunder Breathing!
Fifth Form!
Heat Domain~ Thunder!!!
