211 Chapter 204: Battle of The Grass (V)
'How the hell were they able to avoid my senses? I should have detected the Yamanaka's attempts to get past my mind, or at least the giant Akimichi!!! Wait, Kagami!! However that bastard put be in that Genjutsu earlier, he used that same method to dull my senses, with him blocking me from being able to feel them. This was their plan from the beginning. Well, since the board is stacked against me, it looks like I'll have to flip the board.' Onoki thought from inside of a crater, with him only alive due to him using his Earth Chakra to harden his skin at the last moment.
Floating up, he saw the still giant Choma, Inoki in the distance, and Shikai closing in on their location, while Kagami began approaching.
"Particle Style: Atomic Destruction Jutsu!!"
Onoki said as the white cube appeared in his hand, yet instead of it being aimed at the five of them, it was aimed at the army of Leaf Shinobi.
Everyone's eyes widened, as Onoki's Jutsu was about to be fired off.
~
On the other side of the battlefield, Jiraiya and Roshi moved at immense speeds, their punches being akin to blurs to any outside Shinobi.
Roshi's blows carried immense heat and power, with each seeming to even burn the air as a whistle sound was heard.
Jiraiya's punches carried such physical force that each one likely had the capability to easily kill nearly any other Shinobi that wasn't as powerful as Roshi.
However, even though the battle seemed even, Roshi was gradually being pushed back due to the invisible attacks that the Frog Kata allowed Jiraiya to make.
Just as Jiraiya was about to go for another punch, Roshi sent a burst of lava towards him from his hand, with Jiraiya being forced back.
"How about we kick up the heat too, Jiraiya-boy." Fukasaku said as he weaved a few signs, with Jiraiya and Shima doing the same.
Jiraiya then quickly closed the distance between him and Roshi, with Roshi seeing the Nature Energy around Jiraiya coalesce towards his mouth, with him spewing oil directly towards him.
But before he could retreat, Shima spat a large blast of flames while Fukasaku supported it with a blast on wind.
The three attacks combined to form a raging inferno, with it blasting at Roshi.
"Sage Art: Bath of Boiling Oil!!"
Roshi immediately compressed the Lava so much that it turned into molten magma, with it then shaping into a hound.
"Lava Style: Red Hound!!"
The two attacks heated up the environment, with them both clashing and forcing the surrounding earth to begin to melt.
However, Jiraiya wasted no time as he and Fukasaku molded their Fire Chakra into a ball in his hand, with it forming a spherical shape that seemed to shine like a miniature sun.
"Kagutsuchi Rasengan!!!"
The ball was then slammed into the abdomen of Roshi, with him being shocked as he felt himself being burned by the attack, something that he though was impossible.
The Fire Natured version of the Rasengan used the Fire Chakra to heat it and then spun and rotated it, making the heat increase even further until it became hotter than anything Jiraiya had ever seen.
The attack was so powerful that he wasn't confident in using it unless he was in Sage Mode, especially since it even burned his head while he was in Sage Mode.
Roshi was sent flying back by the attack, with Jiraiya standing with his shaking hand as he began think about how to finish Roshi off.
'It seems I'll need to use that one. I'll have to throw it if I don't want the backlash of it to fall on me.' Jiraiya thought as he charged at Roshi one final time.
Roshi could feel the after effects of Jiraiya's Jutsu, with him only being alive due to Roshi using his Chakra to heal him and filter out some of the effects of the technique.
[That attack... It was hotter than my magma. We might not walk out of this battle unscathed, or we may not walk away at all, partner.] Son Goku said as he focused on gathering more Senjutsu Chakra for his host.
Roshi jumped towards Jiraiya again, yet instead of continuing their prior Taijutsu battle, another spherical Jutsu appeared in Jiraiya's hand.
However, unlike the previous brown of flaming variants, this one seemed to be a perfectly ocean blue, with some likely even saying that the Jutsu could be viewed as beautiful if one were to see it.
It looked perfectly still, as if it was a perfect orb of water that was taken directly out of the Ocean's grasp.
At that moment, Jiraiya then threw the orb at Roshi, with him immediately falling back in an attempt to dodge the aftermaths.
Seeing this, Roshi immediately sensed something was amiss, with him preparing to retreat, yet the Jutsu suddenly expanded consuming him completely.
"Sujin Rasengan."
Jiraiya looked at his technique once he made it to a safe distance, with awaiting for it's end.
This was, in Jiraiya's opinion, the most dangerous version of the Rasengan in direct combat.
While the Okami Rasengan increased gravity and created a disruption that could become a super bomb, and the Kagutsuchi Rasengan could incinerate nearly everything, the Sujin Rasengan represented the base Rasengan pushed to the highest degree.
The water inside rotated so fast that it appeared still, and once he stopped funneling it with Nature Chakra, it would grow before becoming still again due to the containment property of it, with anything inside it being victim to the devastating rotation of sharp water, with the water only getting faster as time went on.
And finally, the Jutsu would implode, sending a raging flood worth or water in every direction while destroying the surroundings.
The Jutsu finally imploded, with Jiraiya seeing no sign of Roshi anymore, causing him to sigh while Shima squinted her eyes.
However, before any of them could speak, they saw Onoki in the air aiming his Particle Style at the Leaf Army, with Jiraiya blasting off to stop him.
But, just as the end seemed to be about to arrive for hundreds of Leaf Shinobi, Onoki stopped, with him suddenly changing his aim from the Leaf Shinobi, to those of the Stone.
"We yield this battle!! Spare the lives of our remaining Shinobi!! I will bear all responsibility for this failure!!" Roshi's voice sounded.
Jiraiya turned his head in the air to see Roshi limping forward, his body seeming to be on the verge of collapse and only still moving thanks to the Demonic Chakra that was healing him.
'We can't afford to keep fighting. All of us are tired, and since my Jutsu didn't kill Roshi, he'll likely do his best to take out as many of us as he can before he dies. And that's not even counting Onoki.' Jiraiya thought grimly as he landed.
Inside of Onoki's mind, Dan looked at Onoki, with him being chained up inside of his own mindscape.
"Do you agree to end this war, Lord Tsuchikage? We will take both you and your son as prisoners if you do, but we swear to allow your Shinobi to retreat." Dan asked after recieving a mental message from Kagami to ask that.
Onoki looked at the battlefield grimly, but seeing their lack of options, the man could only nod his head in agreement.
'The Leaf, it truly has grown.' Onoki thought to himself as Dan manipulated his body to return to the ground, after which Seals were placed on his to prevent him from manipulating his Chakra and moving.
It was at that moment that Jiraiya turned his head, with him seeing two individuals he never thought he would see in his life, at least not at the same time.
On one side stood a man with a mask over his face, the same man that had been proclaimed to be the Demi-God of the Shinobi World and had been barely defeated by him and his teammates years prior, Hanzo.
On the other, their sat an individual who had defeated him in the past, the current Fourth Kazekage, The Puppet Mistress Chiyo.
Seeing their tense state, Chiyo cracked a smile.
"I'm afraid we are too late. But we are here as the new allies of the Leaf. We surely did not expect for the battle to end so soon." Chiyo said, as the armies behind them began to be shown.
Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief, as he knew their would be some major sacrifices if they had to fight against them, especially Hanzo.
~
The leaders met each other in the commander's tent, with the bound Onoki and Kitsuchi inside alongside them.
The other Rock Shinobi had returned to the Land of Earth with Roshi as their leader.
Jiraiya sat in a relaxed position as he deactivated his Sage Mode, with him looking at Shikai and Onoki negotiating with a smile.
'Looks like I can finally take a brea-'
"Jiraiya-Boy!! Gamatsaru that was with the boy signed to the Dogs just stated that Madara Uchiha has appeared on the battefield of Uzu!!!" Fukasaku said as he ran into the tent frantically.
Everyone in the tent held their breath and froze, with Jiraiya thinking a single thought that echoed everyone's feelings.
'Fuck.'
