Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 538 - 26: Blow Him Up!!
A few clay bombs were thrown down, resembling grasshoppers, and exploded the moment they hit the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound was deafening, with earth flying near Jiraiya.
Su Xiao in the distance didn’t open fire. He only fired when Jiraiya dodged attacks or cast ninjutsu, to interrupt his ninjutsu.
A toad leaped out from the smoke and dust, covered in burns.
"Gamakichi, are you alright?"
Jiraiya was a bit worried about Gamakichi overexerting himself.
"No... I’m fine."
Gamakichi looked exhausted, quickly forming a puddle of blood beneath him. Seeing this, Jiraiya immediately formed a seal, preparing to unsummon the summoning beast.
"Although I’m clumsy, I can still fight, Mr. Jiraiya."
"You’ve already helped me a lot, take a break first, I’ll summon your brother."
"Well... alright then."
Gamakichi disappeared into white smoke.
"Summoning Technique."
Bang.
White smoke rose again, and Jiraiya summoned a second summoning beast.
"Jiraiya?"
A red-skinned toad appeared, holding a pipe in its mouth. Its size was similar to Gamakichi’s but wielded a different weapon, a large short knife without a guard. The ’short knife’ was five meters long relative to Wentai’s size.
Toad Wentai, Gamakichi’s brother.
"Wentai, jump!"
Jiraiya shouted from Wentai’s back because Deidara had thrown a few more bombs.
"Fire Style..."
Bam!
A bullet flew by. Jiraiya barely dodged, and his ninjutsu was forcibly interrupted.
Blood splattered, the summoning beast toad was too large to dodge Spider Queen’s bullet.
"So painful, whose attack was that?"
Toad Wentai drew the large short knife without a word and slashed towards the Third Kazekage, who got hit by accident.
Boom!
The power of the slash was staggering. Although it didn’t cut the Third Kazekage, it almost struck the Scarlet Stream Tiger hiding Sasori.
Toad Wentai was much fiercer than Gamakichi, slashing madly at the Third Kazekage and Scarlet Stream Tiger upon appearing, forcing Sasori to evade as he controlled the Third Kazekage, which seemed less agile than before.
"The enemy is strong, hmm."
Deidara stopped throwing bombs; the mouth in his palm kept chewing, seemingly preparing a big move.
Bam, bam, bam...
Su Xiao continuously pulled the trigger, creating several bloody holes on Toad Wentai, slowing down its attacks.
"Wentai, buy me some time."
Jiraiya knew he couldn’t hold back anymore; the enemy’s tactics were too vile.
Close range had Third Kazekage and Sasori holding him down, bombs were thrown occasionally from above, and from afar were long-distance attacks frequently interrupting his ninjutsu.
Jiraiya stained his fingers with some blood, drawing semi-circles on the sides of his eyes. He clasped his hands together, as an unusual wave spread.
Wentai understood what Jiraiya wanted to do and stopped actively attacking Sasori, focusing on protecting Jiraiya.
Su Xiao and his team grew increasingly coordinated. Sasori controlled Scarlet Stream Tiger to occasionally spit out thousand stems and shurikens, coated with poison. Deidara was brewing a big move, while Su Xiao seized any opportunity to snipe Jiraiya or Wentai if no such chance arose.
Explosions and sounds of ninjutsu collisions continued to resound.
Toad Wentai’s swordsmanship was not only fierce, but its ninjutsu was also formidable, temporarily suppressing the unrestrained Sasori.
Sasori wasn’t using full power, and neither was Deidara. Coincidentally, the same applied to Jiraiya, as they all probed each other, looking for weaknesses. As for Su Xiao, he was the safest participant on the battlefield.
At this point, Jiraiya prepared to give his all, realizing prolonging the battle might lead to his death.
Bullets flew, Su Xiao had already emptied three magazines, and the Spider Queen’s barrel was starting to heat up.
"Ji... Jiraiya, are you done? I can’t hold on much longer."
Toad Wentai was covered in bullet holes, with a fierce wound on his foreleg, showing a glimpse of iron sand inside.
"It’s done."
Jiraiya sighed in relief, the technique was ready, and the blood-soaked Toad Wentai dissipated into white smoke.
"Embrace my art."
A loud shout came, and from above, Deidara air-dropped a clay bomb.
This clay bomb looked like a round puppet. As it left Deidara’s hand, he formed a seal, and with a bang, the puppet increased in size. Due to gravity, the puppet bomb started to fall faster.
This is Deidara’s ultimate move number eighteen, with his highest level of Chakra mixed into the clay bomb.
Below, Sasori stopped entangling with Jiraiya, using a few low-level puppets to stall him, then turned and ran.
This action aroused Jiraiya’s vigilance, and just as he was about to escape, bullets flew at him, forcing Jiraiya to dodge.
"Little Jiraiya, what’s going on here?"
An old toad squatting on Jiraiya’s shoulder spoke.
"Child’s father, the attack is coming, protect little Jiraiya."
The toad squatting on the other side of Jiraiya’s shoulder spoke.
At this moment, Jiraiya’s appearance changed dramatically, his nose enlarged, rough and bumpy, with red marks appearing under his eyes.
"Sage Mode, huh."
Through the scope, Su Xiao noticed Jiraiya’s transformation. The two old frogs squatting on his shoulders were renowned as the Toad Sages of Mount Myoboku, Shen Zuo Immortal (male) and Chiazma Immortal (female).
The ordinary state of Jiraiya and the Sage Mode of Jiraiya are two different concepts. However, he is about to face Deidara’s bombing.
Clay bomb number eighteen landed; this move had once leveled an entire village.
A blinding white light spread out, not a single sound was heard.
The white light enveloped Jiraiya, even Sasori, who had run far away, was affected. Scarlet Stream Tiger was blasted away, and in the distance, Bubu Wang exclaimed, ’What a big firework.’
"Explosion is art, hm!"
Deidara admired his masterpiece, while Su Xiao covered one eye, the white light magnified by the ’Optical Infrared Detector 8x (active)’ was painfully intense to his eyes.
Boom!
The shockwave spread around, lifting the ground surface into the air. The nearby forest was flattened in an instant.
The white light lasted a few seconds before disappearing. Looking again at Jiraiya’s position, within four hundred meters, there was a large crater, slightly sunken. The soil on the surface was vitrified, reflecting light under the sunlight.
At the center of the explosion was a ’meat sac’, more than half-destroyed, looking like the stomach of some creature.
"Cough cough cough."
Jiraiya staggered out of the gastric sac, the blast wave having injured his internal organs.
"What explosive power is this, luckily the summon was timely."
Just as Chiazma Immortal opened its mouth, a bullet whizzed towards it.
Jiraiya sidestepped, the bullet passing by, snapping off a few partially scorched strands of his hair.
"Begin the counterattack."
Jiraiya stomped on the ground, the earth beneath his feet burst forth, his power only describable as terrifying.
Swoosh~
Jiraiya dashed towards the Scarlet Stream Tiger entwined by Sasori, who just tried to control the Third Kazekage, only to find it unmanageable as Chiazma Immortal had wrapped its tongue around the Third Kazekage.
"Frog Shock."
The Frog Sages on Jiraiya’s shoulders puffed their cheeks, emitting a special wavelength; a powerful sonic attack Ninjutsu.
Scarlet Stream Tiger froze, unmoving, as Jiraiya’s kick shattered its head.
With a crash, Scarlet Stream Tiger was smashed to pieces, with Sasori being sent flying up high.
"This is the real body."
Just as Jiraiya was about to attack Sasori’s real body, he noticed those two large birds in the sky approaching.
Clang, clang, clang...
A dozen metal rods a few meters long pinned around Jiraiya.
Sizzle~
The sound of metal wire contracting came, forming a trap using the rods with Boundary Line.
The Spider Queen had been put away by Su Xiao, dozens of little white frogs leaped from his sleeve, falling towards Jiraiya.
Deidara wasn’t idle either, throwing out dozens of clay bombs.
"Boom."
"Boom."
Bang, bang, bang...
The explosions were incessant, even the rods that Su Xiao had stuck around Jiraiya were blasted away.
The explosion lasted for dozens of seconds before ceasing, and when the smoke cleared, Jiraiya was nowhere to be seen.
This disciple of the Third Hokage, mentor of the Fourth Hokage, companion of the Fifth Hokage, master of the Sixth Hokage, life tutor of the Seventh Hokage, was driven to retreat by the sniper + puppet + bombing combo of Su Xiao, Sasori, and Deidara.
"Tch, lucky this guy ran fast."
Deidara’s face broke into a smile, as his clay bombs were already exhausted.
In the distance, Sasori stood up, an arm clattered to the ground.
Su Xiao sat on the back of the clay bird, blood seeping from more than a dozen small wounds.
Although they all paid a significant price, the three of them almost managed to keep the Sannin Jiraiya here forever.
