Chapter 256: 2 Vs 1

"Th-this guy..."

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, he was slapped in the face. Looking at Yu emerging slowly from the shattered stomach wall of the Mount Myoboku toad, Jiraiya's smug smile froze instantly.

This guy... He's like a carbon copy of Naruto Uzumaki...

Truly, he's the most eccentric among the legendary Three Sannin...

After emerging from the stomach wall of the Mount Myoboku toad, Yu carefully scrutinized Jiraiya in front of him. Seeing the bewildered expression on this guy's face, Yu couldn't help but feel like laughing inside.

"It's a human puppetry made by the Hidden Cloud's Third Raikage!!"

At this moment, Third beside them recognized Kaio, who had activated the strongest shield, surrounded by raging lightning all over his body, and his expression changed instantly. "Be careful, Jiraiya!!"

Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu!!

Hearing Third's reminder, Jiraiya suddenly shuddered, and his white hair suddenly grew longer and swelled violently, forming a lion-like head shape rushing towards Yu in front of him. This seemingly simple move not only had extremely fast speed but also had enough force to crush any enemy.

Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!!

While Jiraiya's sudden move was incredibly swift, Yu, standing still, didn't need to make any motion. Next to him, Tyrant, manipulated by Parasitic Threads, erupted with Scorch Release chakra, directly blasting out an immensely huge blazing fireball.

"The temperature is so high..."

"This is probably not ordinary Fire Release..."

Feeling the scorching heat rushing towards him, and seeing all his white hair, which had grown and thrown out, being burned and evaporated by Tyrant's Scorch Release, Jiraiya became secretly vigilant.

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!!"

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals again. The ground trembled slightly, and a vast muddy swamp suddenly appeared under Yu's feet, seemingly intending to swallow Yu and all the Devil Puppets whole.

"This move is useless against me..."

However, faced with the massive swamp that appeared out of nowhere under his feet, Yu's expression remained unchanged. Tyrant beside him pushed away the surrounding air, instantly using Space Transfer to make Yu appear in front of Jiraiya, delivering a fierce whip kick!

Puppet Jutsu: Amber Manipulation!!

At the same time, Yu explosively threw out several blue Chakra Threads from his hands, quickly pulling Toshogun, Michael, and Kaio, who were almost engulfed by the huge swamp behind him, toward him.

"This brat... Such great strength!!"

Not expecting Yu to be able to manipulate Puppetry to instantly move himself along with it, Jiraiya hastily raised his hand to block Yu's kick. He felt a numbness in his arm, evidently underestimating the power contained in Yu's Armament Haki-enhanced body.

Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!!

Before Jiraiya could react to Yu's overwhelmingly dominant Taijutsu strength, Kaio, with his lightning shield activated, had already erupted with The Strongest Spear from his hand, descending from the sky and directly blasting a bottomless pit into the ground in front of Jiraiya.

"This kind of power..."

"Just being hit once would be the end..."

Swiftly retreating to barely avoid Kaio's Strongest Spear descending from the sky, Jiraiya looked at the bottomless pit blasted by Kaio's strike on the ground in front of him, his gaze turning serious.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow River!!"

Fortunately, at this moment, a deep voice sounded beside him. Jiraiya wasn't alone in the battle. Third instantly formed hand seals and unleashed a powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu, manipulating the earth underfoot like a torrential mudflow rushing crazily towards Yu.

"Two against one... Now it's getting interesting!!"

Sensing the powerful Earth Release Ninjutsu suddenly launched by Third, Yu didn't even need to turn his head. He immediately had Michael release a gigantic Barrier Arc, blocking all the incoming earth and mud flows from the side.

"Fire Release: Big Flame Bullet!!"

Seizing this opportunity, Jiraiya, who had retreated and created distance from Yu, simultaneously unleashed a supremely powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu.

Gathering the Chakra refined as oil in his mouth, Jiraiya expelled it while igniting it with Fire Release jutsu. In an instant, he spewed out a massive Flame Bullet, its power surpassing that of ordinary Fire Release. The terrifying temperature contained within could even instantly obliterate a normal Summoning creature.

Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!!

Simultaneously facing the combined attack of Jiraiya and Third, two seasoned Kage-level Ninjas, Yu finally felt the pressure.

With a gentle movement of the fingers manipulating the Parasitic Threads, Toshogun, transformed into the Ice Devil, raised its hand and unleashed an immensely dazzling ice bird. Along the way, it completely solidified the ground beneath everyone's feet into ice, directly intercepting Jiraiya's massive Flame Bullet.

Boom!!

The collision of ice and fire unleashed two extremely powerful forces, generating endless steam that directly obscured and engulfed the sight of everyone present. Even the surrounding Konoha Ninjas couldn't intervene in the battle between these three top-level Ninjas before them.

A great opportunity...

!

Seeing the water vapor continuously obscuring the opponent's vision before him, Jiraiya seized this opportunity by biting his finger, about to unleash his signature Summoning Jutsu.

"I forgot to tell you, Jiraiya Senpai."

"I'm not the kind of Ninja who relies on eyesight in battle."

However, the voice suddenly emanating from the white Water Mist beside him shook Jiraiya to his core. A deafening sound of breaking air filled the atmosphere, followed by a sharp pain on his cheek. In an instant, Jiraiya was sent flying like a cannonball.

With his Observation Haki Sensory elevated to the second level, Yu's range was even enough to cover the entire Konoha. Although the bewildering Water Mist obscured the vision of all the surrounding Ninjas, under Yu's Sensory, no target could escape detection.

"To think he also possesses Sensory abilities..."

"Truly despicable... Such a troublesome kid..."

Suddenly kicked in the face by Yu, even a powerful Kage-level Ninja like Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a dizzy spell. A mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. After some effort, he managed to regain his composure, pressing his palm firmly on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!!"

A massive white smoke burst forth as Jiraiya activated the Summoning Jutsu, summoning a colossal toad directly from one of the Three Great Sacred Places, Mount Myoboku. This toad had a pipe in its mouth, wore loose traditional Japanese clothing, and even had a small long sword strapped to its waist.

Gamabunta, huh...

Seeing the enormous toad summoned by Jiraiya before him, Yu immediately guessed its identity. It must be the great Gamabunta who resided within the hidden toad village of Mount Myoboku, the father of Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, and one of the most formidable among all Summoning creatures.

"This kid is a bit tricky... Bunta."

"I can only summon you out to join forces with me."

Under the gazes of all the Konoha Ninjas around, Jiraiya directly performed a Body Flicker, appearing atop Gamabunta's head with a solemn expression, rapidly forming hand seals.
