"That is... could that be..."
Jiraiya craned his neck, gazing up at Orochimaru's celestial figure, his trembling pupils conveying unspeakable shock.
Orochimaru at this moment was like a completely different person, with a menacing horn, white hair flying, and a handsome appearance made even more bewitching by the purple eye markings. His body was also filled with an indescribable, strange energy.
This energy… actually gave Jiraiya a familiar feeling!
If…
If his perception was correct, then it must be…
Jiraiya's pupils contracted slightly. What Orochimaru was emitting was clearly the aura of natural energy!
The words of Mount Myōboku's Elder Fukasaku suddenly flashed through his mind.
'Little Jiraiya, it is certainly rare to be able to communicate with my sons, but don't be complacent, because you haven't even touched the edge of Mount Myōboku's true legacy.'
'The true legacy, what is that?'
'Heh heh, why do you think Mount Myōboku is called a Sage region?'
That day, at the behest of the Toad Sage, Fukasaku covered Jiraiya's entire body with toad oil, and taught him the method of absorbing Sage energy, allowing him to truly experience the power of natural energy.
Even to this day, Jiraiya would not hesitate to say that it was definitely the closest he had ever been to death.
Because under the erosion of that majestic energy, the cells throughout his body lost control, his skin became stiff, and even his consciousness was blurry, as if his soul was about to be pulled out of his body. He fainted on the spot.
When he woke up again, he realized that Elder Fukasaku had rescued him in time, pulling him back from the brink of death. According to Gamabunta, he was almost turned into a stone frog at the time.
In the end, Elder Fukasaku could only postpone Jiraiya's Sage Arts training due to insufficient strength.
It was this experience of personally experiencing natural energy that made Jiraiya's expression so shocked when facing Orochimaru now.
A sharp wind noise passed by his ear. A pale figure suddenly flashed from the air. Before Jiraiya could even react, a large hand covered his face.
"Too slow."
Orochimaru's laughter was full of sarcasm. He grabbed with five fingers and lifted Jiraiya's body with one arm, turning and rushing towards Tsunade!
Even with Jiraiya in tow, his speed did not decrease much, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.
Tsunade's expression was solemn, and her slender white hands immediately came together, forming the standard "Tiger" seal.
"Strength of a Hundred Seal—"
With a "bang", her voice stopped abruptly, because Orochimaru had rushed in front of her and punched her hard in the abdomen as quickly as lightning, stopping the flow of chakra.
Orochimaru quickly raised his hand, using the same method, and grabbed Tsunade's fair forehead with his palm. He stomped on the ground with his feet and jumped high into the air with the two of them.
The two struggled desperately, but it was useless. Orochimaru's current strength was not what it used to be, and the big hand clasped on their foreheads was like a pair of pliers.
Tsunade tried to break free with Superhuman Strength, but three white snakes drilled out of Orochimaru's sleeves one after another, tightly entangling her body and cutting off the circulation of chakra again.
"Giggle..."
The snake bodies were tightly bound, making her already heavy breasts even fuller.
At the same time, Jiraiya was also entangled by several white snakes, and was dizzy and breathless from being strangled.
Orochimaru leaped high. Sage chakra not only amplified his ninjutsu, but also strengthened his soul and body. With his current physical strength, he could leap several hundred meters with a single jump.
The wind roared. Orochimaru leaped into the high sky, aimed at a rock that looked hard, and threw the two of them over, one in each hand.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Jiraiya woke up from his dizzy state first. He quickly glanced at the approaching land, his eyes twitching violently.
Falling from such a high place, even ninjas would suffer internal injuries!
Unable to borrow strength in the air, he immediately formed hand seals, "Ninja Art: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"
In an instant, his messy long hair grew rapidly, countless strands of hair crisscrossed and lengthened, blown by the wind, as if supporting a silver-white parachute behind his head.
Jiraiya's white hair had grown more than dozens of times the size of his body. Under the cushioning of the "parachute", he dissipated most of the kinetic energy and was able to land safely.
On the other side, Tsunade did not take any safe landing measures, but on the ground, the Katsuyu that was fighting discovered her crisis and immediately separated countless divisions, rushing to Tsunade's landing point like a tide, and quickly merged into a huge slug.
Tsunade chased straight down from the high sky and landed steadily on Katsuyu's body. Katsuyu's snow-white body immediately rippled a layer of flesh, and the soft body was like an air cushion, protecting Tsunade safely.
Orochimaru fell to the sea surface, his body rising and falling with the tide. He looked at the two of them and tilted his head.
"Even now, do you still want me to go back with you?"
Jiraiya was silent, but Tsunade's expression was still angry.
"Damn it, are you abandoning the village just for strength?"
"You're wrong." Orochimaru shook his head. "What I'm after is immortality and research. Strength is just a product of that process. But even this mere product has beaten you so badly that you don't even have the qualifications to fight back."
"Damn it, do you think you are the only one with trump cards?"
Orochimaru raised his eyes slightly, "Tsunade, if I wanted to do it just now, you two would have been corpses by now."
"But you didn't do it, did you?" Tsunade took a step forward, "This shows that there is still a bond in your heart, and there is still a village!"
The air suddenly became quiet, and Orochimaru's face visibly sank, his eyes as if swallowed by shadows.
In the distance, Nawaki, who was secretly observing behind the reef, was slightly startled. He inexplicably felt that what his sister had just said was very dangerous.
"Yes, if that's your reason for pestering me…"
Orochimaru's aura changed, and the Sage chakra all over his body seemed to burn, but it was cold and bone-chilling.
As he spoke, his hands began to bloom with clear light.
He put his palms together, and as the chakra slowly condensed, the icy blue streamer lengthened inch by inch, like a serpent devouring its own tail, chasing its tail, and finally connecting head to tail, and solidifying.
The blue light flashed, and suddenly contracted. A circle of bright blue light wheels appeared in Orochimaru's palm.
The humming was loud, it was the sound of the air being cut.
The flow of Sage chakra was as turbulent as water, forming a stable circulating circuit inside. There was no doubt that this was the way "Leaf on Autumn Dew" operated, representing the ultimate in chakra shape transformation.
But both the shape and nature... were completely different from the original "Leaf on Autumn Dew".
The rapid wind circled endlessly, and even the sea was blown out of layers of white foam by this sharp wind.
It was Wind Release chakra!
Orochimaru integrated his Wind Release chakra into the shape transformation!
This move was created by him after tasting Shenyu's "Autumn Whirlwind Jade", integrating "Leaf on Autumn Dew", "Rasengan", and Sage Arts, and Wind Release chakra.
He really couldn't be like his teacher, casually releasing the light blade formed by "Leaf on Autumn Dew" to form a sword qi with unparalleled power.
His teacher had explained the principle carefully. The method of releasing that kind of internal force was the same as the principle of sharp-end discharge. Through the medium of the "Leaf on Autumn Dew" operation method, the flowing chakra was compressed to a point and then released, and the destructive power was terrifying.
The difficulty was also quite terrifying.
Orochimaru asked himself, he absolutely couldn't do it, it was completely in the category of talent.
But, he had his own method!
The light wheel rotated extremely fast, stirring up gusts of wind, and the humming sound in the air became more and more shrill.
"Use this move to cut off the bond!"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, aiming at Tsunade's direction, and threw the blue light wheel in his hand!
"Sage Art: Ouroboros Eight Divisions Light Ring!"
