Chapter 371 Jiraiya: What's wrong? Why are they all Second Hokage's techniques!
"Eight Gates Formation! How do you know the Eight Gates Formation?!"
Jiraiya watched as Yahiko opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates in one breath, and he was completely speechless.
He remarked that the opponent's martial arts techniques seemed so familiar, and it turned out that the opponent was practicing martial arts techniques associated with the Eight Gates Formation.
The problem is, these Eight Gates are techniques from Konoha.
How did this technique end up in the hands of the founder of Akatsuki? Could it be that this person was actually from Konoha? But that shouldn't be the case.
"Is there a problem with me knowing this technique?"
"This is a technique from our Konoha!"
Yahiko, radiating green energy, replied.
"I can learn because someone is teaching me."
"Someone taught you? Who was it?"
Several names flashed through Jiraiya's mind, but he quickly dismissed them one by one.
"That's not something you should be thinking about. After all, it's pointless for a dead person to think about anything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yahiko disappeared again.
Jiraiya immediately retreated.
He had just taken a step back when the ground where he had been standing suddenly exploded.
"Fire escape!"
As he retreated, Jiraiya completed the hand seals and exhaled flames from his mouth.
However, this level of technique was completely ineffective against Yahiko.
"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
Realizing that hitting Yahiko, who had opened the sixth gate, wouldn't be so easy, Jiraiya changed his strategy.
He activated the Yellow Springs Swamp, transforming the surrounding land into a swamp.
Although Yahiko, having opened the sixth gate, could walk in the air by stepping on space, he still wanted to adjust his state and launch an attack.
But adjusting one's mindset ultimately requires putting it into practice.
"caught you!"
Jiraiya kept an eye on the location of the mud splashed on the ground and eventually determined Yahiko's next landing point.
"Spiral pills!"
He raised his hand and launched a Rasengan.
"Oh!"
The Rasengan hit successfully, and Yahiko was knocked down from the sky.
However, the next moment, Jiraiya disappeared once again.
In the blink of an eye, Yahiko appeared behind Jiraiya and launched a flying kick.
"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"
Jiraiya's white hair suddenly grew, completely covering his entire body.
"Pass!"
Even with the Needle Jizo technique, Jiraiya was still kicked away.
As Yahiko landed, blood continued to flow from his right foot; the kick had riddled his foot with holes.
Using chakra to seal the pressure points for emergency hemostasis, Yahiko once again unleashed astonishing speed as he charged towards Jiraiya.
Jiraiya then transformed the bristles on the needle-shaped Jizo statue into thousands of needles and launched them out.
Suppress Yahiko with a wide-range ninjutsu attack.
For a time, Yahiko found it difficult to get close to Jiraiya, and even if he did get close, breaking through the Needle Jizo's defenses would be extremely troublesome.
Yahiko simply abandoned close combat and leaped into the air.
"Morning, peacock!"
He threw a rapid punch, the friction between his fist and the air creating scorching flames. Countless fiery fists rained down, covering most of the sky.
It is as bright as the sunrise, as dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail.
The intense, high-intensity attacks forced Jiraiya to break free of his Needle Jizo state.
Jiraiya quickly retreated to create distance, enduring the pain as he rapidly formed hand seals and activated his ninjutsu.
"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"
Yahiko in the air tried to dodge, but Asahiko had used up a lot of energy, so his dodging speed slowed down.
He was caught by the Lion's Wild Hair Technique and slammed heavily to the ground.
"Successful!"
With this attack landing, Jiraiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eight Gates Formation, Seventh Gate of Shock, open!"
The next moment, a powerful burst of chakra erupted, directly shattering Jiraiya's hair.
"Daytime Tiger!"
A tiger's roar suddenly rang out, and a terrifying air cannon shattered Jiraiya's long hair, which he hadn't had time to retract, and headed straight for him.
"Spiral pills!"
Jiraiya quickly conjured a Rasengan to counterattack.
"Bang!"
The Rasengan collided with the Daytime Tiger, causing a sudden explosion.
Before Jiraiya could even catch his breath, a powerful killing intent emanated from behind him.
Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Water Blade!
"What?!"
Jiraiya was dodging almost entirely based on his ninja instincts.
However, the speed was still much slower.
Yahiko's water blade pierced directly through his abdomen.
Having barely managed to create some distance, Jiraiya covered his wound, utterly bewildered.
"This technique belongs to the Second Hokage!"
"Kid, who exactly is your teacher?"
"Who is my teacher? You'll find out!"
Yahiko formed hand seals again.
Seeing Yahiko form hand seals, Jiraiya immediately followed suit.
"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"
Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!
Water and fire collided, and steam immediately filled the air.
Jiraiya vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"not good!"
As the water swept by, Jiraiya nearly lost an arm.
"Water Release: Heaven's Cry!"
Amidst the steam, a cold light fell, and blood splattered as Jiraiya's arm and shoulder were instantly pierced.
"These are all techniques of the Second Hokage!"
Jiraiya couldn't help but roar.
"Who exactly are you! Who taught you these techniques?!"
His mind was in complete turmoil. He was even starting to wonder if the Second Hokage had been resurrected and was cultivating a completely new organization outside.
"I taught him these ninjutsu techniques, is there a problem?"
A familiar voice rang out.
Jiraiya stared intently at the figure slowly walking towards him through the thick steam and fog.
"No way, this can't be, this is absolutely impossible!"
As he passed through the thick steam and fog, someone he could hardly believe appeared before him.
Looking at the person in front of me.
"What's wrong with you! Weren't you already...?"
"I'm already dead, aren't I?"
Tetsuya looked at Jiraiya and smiled.
"Haha, I knew you'd make that face, it's so funny."
"Mr. Chiba! You, you're still alive? And why are you so young!"
Jiraiya couldn't believe his eyes.
You know, when I was little, Mr. Chiba looked like this. Now that I've grown up, how come Mr. Chiba still looks like he's in his teens or twenties?
"Surprised? Well, yeah, after all, the whole ninja world thought I was dead. Hahaha, it's really fun to deceive the entire ninja world."
"Master Tetsuya, why did you come out early? I haven't had enough fun yet."
Yahiko dispersed the water vapor and came to Tetsuya's side.
"Master Tetsuya? He's your disciple?"
"Surprised? Otherwise, in this ninja world, besides me who stole the Book of Seals of Konoha, who else could teach him the Eight Gates and various Konoha ninjutsu?"
"You! The Book of Seals!"
Jiraiya also recalled that year when a masked man who transformed into his appearance infiltrated Konoha to steal the Book of Seals, and then fought against the three legendary Konoha Sannin.
The person who was so powerful that he could face Konoha's strongest fighter and escape unscathed was actually the ramen shop owner he knew best.
This ramen shop owner deceived the entire ninja world with his own death, and then his disciple deceived the whole world again with Hanzo!
