23 Chapter 23 Fight

Konoha.

Spiritual Ground.

"Haha, I knew it, I knew it you would find the answer to my quest, Haha… I knew it"

Jiraiya sitting, continued to laugh, talking loudly to himself as well, completely forgetting about Satoshi who stood at some distance watching him with a light smile on his face.

"Haha…I don't care about why I appeared in your mind kid, but after learning this, even if I die again, I won't mind, thank you…thank you for telling me everything" Said Jiraiya finally his laugh stopped, his grateful eyes stuck at Satoshi, endless gratitude in them.

"Umm, you don't need to be like that, anyone who has studied the history of Konoha knows that much"

Said Satoshi in a reserved manner, being humble.

"Haha, you Nara kids are all the same, others would have jumped happily at my praise"

"Umm…if you say so…"

"Huh…cough…"

"Even death can't change one's nature"

Said Jiraiya with a proud look on his face, Satoshi forcing himself to respond, thinking inwardly, Jiraiya's shamelessness catching him off guard, the latter coughing out of embarrassment.

" Ah, the sparring partner, I nearly forgot it, let's try my strength on him" Yelped Satoshi a little, suddenly remembering the reason why Jiraiya was brought back from the world of dead.

"Umm, Lord Jiraiya, I heard you were the teacher of Lord Seventh, you must be pretty strong right?"

"Swish!"

Asked Satoshi expectantly, the space around his hands twisting, a black sword with red marks on it appearing in his hands. {Shusui}

"Huh? Haha…of course, I'm strong, no one can stand calmly before the proud sage of Mount Myoboku"

Jiraiya was surprised at the appearance of the sword in Satoshi's hands, but the urge to brag about his strength suppressed the surprise

"Hehe…Is that so?"

"Huh?"

"Click!!"

Satoshi chuckled at his words, a smile appearing on his face, Jiraiya frowning at his sudden smile, but before he could say anything, the white space around him suddenly changed, the white floor under him changing to a barren rocky surface.

"Damn…How is this? It's like…I'm at Iwagakure Battlefield!"

Jiraiya yelped out in surprise, looking at the area around that had towering rocks everywhere, far away some huge barren Rocky Mountains could be seen as well, so similar to the battlefield of the land of earth, where he used to fight in the wars.

"Here I go!"

"Kid…stop for a sec!"

"Swooosh!!"

But the voice of Satoshi fell in the ears of surprised Jiraiya, bringing him back to his senses, seeing him pointing his sword at him, Jiraiya waved his hand in a hurry to stop, but like being one with the wind, Satoshi disappeared, the sharp edge of the sword shining near Jiraiya.

"Dang!! Is this really a kid?"

Cursed Jiraiya, seeing the sharp edge of the sword approaching his face, hands like on autopilot making a hand sign in a panic.

"Poof!!"

"Okay kid, before we talk thoroughly about this place, let me put some sense into you first!"

But just when the sword struck him, Jiraiya burst into smoke, at some distance Jiraiya reappeared, speaking out with a somewhat speechless look, Satoshi's sudden attack caught him off guard, nearly taking him down by surprise.

"That speed…It's no less than any Jonin, how did such a kid emerge from those lazy lots"

Thought Jiraiya, eyeing Satoshi, his whole body tense, knowing he had to be serious to teach this kid a lesson.

"Wind Style! Wind Wave!"

Making hand signs, Jiraiya spat toward Satoshi, and with a cutting sound, a horizontal whip of wind rushed toward Satoshi.

Seeing the approaching wind whip, Satoshi didn't fret, immediately jumping up, dodging the wind wave easily.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Poof!!"

Landing back on the ground, his hands moved fast, smoke bursting around him, and three more Satoshi appeared, all holding the sword Shusui.

"It's time for it to make its first appearance"

"Yontoryo! Fury Slash!"

At the same time all the clones of Satoshi, moved forward, one jumping up, one going to left, one to the right, all three waving the sword with blue energy around it down at the same time.

"SWISH!!!"

The air seemed to be cut apart, three crescent shaped energy arcs, from left, right and above all stormed towards Jiraiya.

"The Hell is this kid?!!!"

Yelled Jiraiya with astonishment seeing the dreadful energy slashes approaching him, Satoshi continuing to surprise him.

"Shoot! No time to surprise!!"

"Earth Style! Multi Mud Wall!!"

"DHAG!!"

The ground before the panicked Jiraiya shook, three thick brown walls rose up, a height of around 10 meters, firmly blocking the approaching slashes from the eyesight of Jiraiya.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

Sharp cutting sounds resounded one by one, followed by all three walls getting destroyed one after and another, rubble flying everywhere, but no sign of the slashes as well, blocked by the walls.

"Swoosh!!"

But from the flying rubble, a figure whizzed through, the black sword making an arc in the air, blue chakra shining around it, just inches away from Jiraiya, whose eyes firmly stuck at the figure with blond hair holding the sword.

"No more playing!!"

The surprised expression on the face of Jiraiya vanished, replaced by a serious glare, in an instant, a blue rotating ball of energy condensing in his hands, thrust towards the black blade.

BOOM!!!

The sharp edge of the black blade collided with the Rasengan, immediately, the ground under both Satoshi and Jiraiya cracked, large chunks of earth pulled out, dust everywhere, and a small figure flew back at an incredible speed.
