Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Technique Comparable to the Eight Gates of Death
Crack~~~ Boom!
Vroom, vroom, vroom!
The terrifying thunderous sound above Konoha slowly spread.
At this moment, every ninja in Konoha, regardless of who they were, seemed to have heard that dreadful roar.
Thud!
The ninja blade in Sasuke's hand dropped, and he fell directly to the ground.
Behind him, Jiraiya almost simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, with a wound so deep that the bone was visible, and blood poured out madly from the injury.
Sitting on the ground, Jiraiya's face turned deathly pale.
His breathing became weak.
However, Jiraiya still managed to hold on, and his consciousness hadn't faded.
He turned around!
Looking at Sasuke, who was lying motionless on the ground, the chakra fluctuations were rapidly dissipating.
Sasuke had completely lost his fighting ability.
That final blow seemed to have drained all his chakra!
Jiraiya smiled.
But the smile was somewhat bitter.
"Didn't expect... a kid... to force me into this state!"
Jiraiya shook his head gently.
At this moment, the Konoha ninjas suddenly snapped back to their senses after the terrifying strike.
They quickly moved towards Jiraiya's direction.
Two ninjas jumped quickly to Jiraiya's side.
They helped him up, and Jiraiya's gaze remained fixed on Sasuke.
After getting up, he let go of the hands of the two Konoha ninjas.
Then, looking at the unconscious Sasuke on the ground.
He opened his mouth, and the surrounding Konoha ninjas all looked at Jiraiya.
"The Uchiha kid..."
"I take back my earlier words, the ninjutsu you created Breath of Thunder!"
"It is completely not inferior to the Eight Gates of Death!"
"But unfortunately, you only have seven forms, one less than the Eight Gates of Liberation!"
"That's a bit lacking!"
As he spoke, Jiraiya let out a helpless smile.
At this moment, hearing Jiraiya's words, the surrounding Konoha ninjas were stunned.
A technique that is no weaker than... the Eight Gates of Liberation!
What kind of heaven-defying technique could a twelve-year-old kid have created?
How did he manage to do it?
If it were anyone else, they might not care, but the person giving such an evaluation was Jiraiya.
Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas.
A grown adult like him would never speak carelessly.
"Lord Jiraiya, is the ninjutsu that Uchiha Sasuke used just now really comparable to Might Guy's forbidden Eight Gates of Liberation?"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya awkwardly smiled.
"Ah! Of course it's true!"
"Although that move was powerful, the strength it displayed just now probably isn't enough to compare with the Eight Gates of Liberation."
Hmph!
Jiraiya shook his head.
It wouldn't be right to simply judge it by the size of its power.
Sasuke was only twelve, and his chakra pool was far smaller than his own.
Also, it was clear that Sasuke had used the final move under extremely strained conditions.
If Sasuke were at his peak, the power of that technique would have been unimaginable.
Once Sasuke's power grows, and he uses the Breath of Thunder again, how many people in the ninja world would be able to stop him?
The Breath of Thunder! It is indeed a forbidden body technique on par with the Eight Gates of Liberation!
From Sasuke's earlier combat movements, it was evident that the Breath of Thunder didn't require any hand seals.
Just like the Eight Gates of Liberation, it used a special method to control the flow of chakra within the body.
This unlocked even greater power.
Such a ninjutsu, if it appeared in the era of war, would undoubtedly amaze the entire ninja world.
Jiraiya looked at Sasuke with a more complex expression.
A prodigious talent like him, yet he couldn't fully inherit the Will of Fire.
Jiraiya felt it was such a pity and hoped that, in the future...
While Jiraiya was deep in thought, suddenly a shadow rushed out from the crowd.
The figure grabbed Sasuke's clothes and dragged him away from the ground.
It was only when the figure dashed toward the outskirts of Konoha that the surrounding Konoha ninjas reacted.
"Not good, chase after him!"
A large group of Konoha ninjas quickly pursued.
At this moment, Jiraiya also wanted to act, but the moment he moved, his wounds tore, causing him immense pain.
He was in no condition to chase after them.
"Lord Jiraiya, leave it to us! You... right now..."
Jiraiya looked at the ninjas in front of him. "Uchiha Sasuke stole the Sealing Scroll. He has two companions, and the Sealing Scroll is with them!"
"No matter what, you must retrieve the Sealing Scroll. Uchiha Sasuke can be left, but the Sealing Scroll must be retrieved!"
"What?"
The Konoha ninjas froze in shock.
The Sealing Scroll was stolen?
Uchiha Sasuke did it?
No wonder Lord Jiraiya was fighting with Uchiha Sasuke so that's why.
Now the Konoha ninjas understood the gravity of the situation.
The Sealing Scroll was no laughing matter!
However, what worried Jiraiya even more was that Sasuke was not dead.
If he woke up and still had the Sealing Scroll, how much more terrifying would Sasuke be with the power of the Thunder Release combined with the forbidden body technique that rivaled the Eight Gates of Liberation?
If Sasuke got his hands on the Sealing Scroll, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This monstrous prodigy would grow into something even more terrifying.
If he harbored any ill will toward Konoha, he could become an even harder opponent than Orochimaru.
No, Jiraiya couldn't trust the Konoha ninjas to handle this.
He had to personally chase after them and retrieve the Sealing Scroll!
Boom!
Just as Jiraiya prepared to chase after them, a terrifying explosion sounded behind him, and this time, the explosion was even louder than the previous one.
Turning around!
Jiraiya felt an unprecedented wave of malice.
"Hahaha! This lord is finally out!"
"You filthy humans, all of you will die!"
Boom boom boom!!
A series of compressed air blasts rained down on Konoha.
Jiraiya looked at the towering figure.
His pupils instantly contracted.
With a pale face, he stared at the distant figure.
"Sunagakure... Tailed Beast!"
"One-Tailed Shukaku!"
This was a huge problem! The Tailed Beast from Sunagakure was rampaging in Konoha, and the disaster it would bring would be catastrophic!
Damn it!
Jiraiya looked back at the black figure, which was almost disappearing from his sight.
He sighed lightly. The safety of Konoha's people was far more important than the Sealing Scroll!
Meanwhile, in the examination hall.
Orochimaru looked at the severely injured Third Hokage.
"It's time to end... Sensei!"
Two figures slowly walked out from Orochimaru's side...
Looking at these two figures, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned even darker.
