If Kouki wanted to kill him, Jiraiya would have been dead a hundred times over. Kouki's power was simply that overwhelming.
However, the one thing Jiraiya couldn't comprehend was how, with his own considerable skills, he hadn't sensed Kouki approaching from behind. What incredibly powerful technique had been used?
Jiraiya knew there were no Flying Thunder God seals on his back, and no kunai had been thrown. The attack had been utterly silent.
Jiraiya, of course, was unaware that Kouki had used Kamui's spatial warping abilities.
Although Kouki had demonstrated Kamui's intangibility and long-range spatial slicing in front of Jiraiya, he hadn't used it to teleport himself.
Jiraiya had never witnessed this specific application of the technique.
Therefore, Kouki was able to appear behind Jiraiya so easily and subdue him. The element of surprise had been completely decisive.
"Since you've lost, accept your fate!"
Kouki chuckled, his Sharingan spinning as he activated Kotoamatsukami on Jiraiya.
He implanted a pre-prepared memory into Jiraiya's mind, subtly altering his perception of reality.
With the memory implanted, Jiraiya now believed he had found Yahiko and the others and had received the information he was seeking.
The information was consistent with Minato Namikaze's account, with no discrepancies.
Jiraiya then began his leisurely journey back to Konoha, completely unaware of the manipulation.
"Now, I can safely go to Mount Myōboku for my check-in!"
Kouki watched Jiraiya's retreating figure, a sense of excitement building within him. His plan was progressing smoothly.
He carefully sensed the location of his Flying Thunder God seal and immediately knew Mount Myōboku's precise location. His preparations had been thorough.
However, Mount Myōboku was quite far. Using Flying Thunder God over such a distance would consume a significant amount of chakra, making it impractical.
Therefore, Kouki opted for a more reliable method: Kamui. Kamui was the perfect tool for long-distance teleportation.
Hum!
With a low hum, spatial vortexes appeared in Kouki's left eye, drawing him into the spatial distortion, and he vanished completely.
…
Mount Myōboku.
On a picturesque, spiritual clearing by the water.
Boom, boom, boom!
Two massive toads were engaged in intense sparring. One wielded a slingshot-like weapon; the other, twin blades. Their training was vigorous.
They were Gamabunta's brothers: Gamahiro and Gamaken.
The toads were deeply engrossed in their training when, with a loud boom, a colossal figure appeared nearby—Gamabunta.
However, Gamabunta was extremely weak; he collapsed, panting heavily. He was clearly badly injured.
Gamahiro and Gamaken immediately stopped sparring and rushed over. "Gamabunta, what happened? What's wrong?"
"Don't ask. I ran into a troublesome Uchiha," Gamabunta said weakly. "Where's Fukasaku? I need to report this."
Gamahiro and Gamaken, without hesitation, took Gamabunta to find Fukasaku.
Fukasaku and Shima, hearing of Gamabunta's injuries, immediately rushed over, concerned for their injured comrade.
Gamabunta recounted his summoning by Jiraiya and his encounter with the Uchiha who had activated Susanoo.
Fukasaku and Shima's expressions turned grave. The implications were serious.
"Uchiha… a troublesome clan," Fukasaku sighed. "The ninja world may not be at peace for long."
Fukasaku had heard from Gamabunta about Indra Ōtsutsuki's betrayal of his father, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and his conflict with him.
The history of the Uchiha clan was fraught with conflict and betrayal.
They also knew about Madara Uchiha's betrayal of Konoha. The Uchiha clan's history was filled with powerful individuals who had used their abilities for both good and ill.
They understood the immense power contained within the Sharingan, and the potential for both creation and destruction it held.
Throughout history, this clan seemed to constantly stir up conflict in the ninja world, unwilling to remain peaceful.
Even in their current weakened state, their relationship with Konoha was strained.
If this clan regained its former strength, Fukasaku expressed deep concern for the future.
"Not good, someone has infiltrated Mount Myōboku!"
In the midst of their discussion, Fukasaku's expression changed drastically.
He had sensed, through his senjutsu, that someone had infiltrated Mount Myōboku, something that had never happened before!
Regardless of whether anyone knew Mount Myōboku's location, it was considered virtually impenetrable. How could someone infiltrate so silently?
Fukasaku and Shima immediately moved to investigate, their movements swift and precise.
The intruder was, without a doubt, Kouki.
Using Kamui's spatial warping abilities, he had effortlessly appeared within Mount Myōboku.
Upon arrival, Kouki felt invigorated by the pure, spiritual atmosphere. The scenery was breathtaking. The air was filled with a palpable sense of serenity.
"Even ordinary people would live long and healthy lives here. No wonder Gamabunta lived so long,"
Kouki mused, taking in the serene beauty of his surroundings.
"Check-in location detected. Will the host perform a check-in?"
The system's prompt interrupted Kouki's thoughts. He didn't hesitate. "Check-in!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Check-in successful. Reward: Perfect-Grade Mount Myōboku Sage Art!"
Perfect-Grade Sage Art! Kouki had obtained a significant reward.
