Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

"Spellcasting without hand seals?"

Jiraiya, who hadn't seen Feng Qi form any hand seals, let out a soft sound of doubt and frowned slightly.

In recent years, he has been similar to Tsunade, not paying much attention to the affairs of the ninja world, but only traveling around to create "Icha Icha Paradise" and searching for the Child of Destiny.

Little is known about Feng Qi's "special white eye".

"No matter what, it's just a type of water escaping technique, so..."

Based on common sense, Jiraiya quickly made his move, forming hand seals and slamming one hand on the ground beneath his feet, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

The only thing that can counter Water Release is Earth Release!

Boom boom boom.

A wall made of hard earth rose up from the ground, blocking the path of the water dragon.

Just when Jiraiya was confident that he could neutralize the opponent's attack, an unbelievable scene appeared that made his pupils shrink.

The water dragon crashed into the earthen wall with no reduction in speed or power, and its breakthrough speed was even easier than the fireball from before!

If it doesn't gain an advantage through overwhelming chakra quantity, then it seems more like the Earth Wall, which has the ability to suppress higher attributes, is practically useless!

As a veteran ninja with extensive combat experience, Jiraiya was shocked, but his reaction speed was quick. He used his waist to generate power and dodged the water dragon's bite with several clean backflips.

Wow!

The water dragon, having lost its target, crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. Instantly, water droplets splashed everywhere, and steam filled the air.

The moment he landed, Jiraiya formed hand seals once more.

Wei-Wu-Si-Chen-Zi-Chou-Yin.

Under the influence of a large amount of chakra, Jiraiya's chest swelled up like a toad, and the chakra flowed down his throat into his mouth.

That was an extremely powerful fire-style technique...

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

boom!

A jet of intensely hot fire, compressed to its limit and glowing red with a white light, suddenly burst forth.

The residual heat alone evaporated all the scattered water stains around it!

The high-temperature flames swept straight in, turning into a sea of ​​fire that completely engulfed Feng Qi's figure along with the surrounding land.

In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and heat billowed out!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 102. Ideas that cannot be instilled with words will be resolved with fists!

102.

"The character '巽' signifies a chaotic, raging wind."

As a calm voice emanated from the depths of the flames, the sea of ​​fire trembled slightly, drawn into the air by a sudden tornado.

Jiraiya, who was still in the breathing posture, was taken aback and stared in shock at Fuuki, who stood unharmed in the center of the fiery tornado.

That's... Wind Release?

No, it's not your average Wind Release technique!

Under normal circumstances, Wind Release will only enhance the power of Fire Release, making its burning tendency even more ferocious.

However, the wind that Hyuga Kazeki unleashed not only failed to have this restraining effect, but instead turned the tables and took control of his Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Is it really possible to achieve this level of skill simply through mastering escape techniques?!

"Lord Jiraiya, in front of my eyes, the restraint relationship between ninjutsu is useless, and can even be reversed."

Feng Qi spoke up, answering Jiraiya's question.

The raging tornadoes of flame around him made his pale blue eyes shine brightly.

Feng Qi did not use the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet to launch a counterattack, but instead casually waved his hand to dispel the raging wind energy that was about to be unleashed.

In order to make Jiraiya accept his defeat wholeheartedly, he took the initiative to reveal his information to the other party.

As one of the four legendary invincible gods widely celebrated in Naruto, Itachi could not achieve a healthy life, but Jiraiya, who possessed information, could at least fulfill that dream.

As for the remaining two, Minato and Rai went home...

The former has long since died, and the latter... cough cough.

"The Hyuga clan's bloodline limit, huh..."

Jiraiya's expression turned serious. "I never thought the Byakugan could become as powerful as the Sharingan."

"But to tell me this so openly, it seems you're quite confident in your strength, Hyuga Kazeki?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Anyway, with your combat talent, you'll soon find out that this is no secret to many people."

At this point, he bent his knees and sat down heavily on the charred ground.

"What do you mean by that?" Jiraiya asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Admit defeat? That's simply impossible in this situation.

"I'm in a hurry and want to end this boring battle as soon as possible."

Feng Qi yawned, propped one cheek up with his hand, and looked at Jiraiya through the gaps in his naturally falling hair with his pale blue eyes.

"So, use the Sage Mode you were so proud of, which you learned from Mount Myōboku."

The lazy, casual words caused Jiraiya's pupils to dilate sharply, and his breath to catch in his throat.

How did this brat from the Hyuga clan find out he can use Sage Mode?!

Did Tsunade reveal it to him?

No, she is definitely not that kind of woman!

Jiraiya scratched his head, feeling utterly perplexed.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped trying.

"Although I don't know how you know about Sage Mode, it's still necessary to remind you."

"Once Sage Mode is activated, it's no longer a trivial matter. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Although Hyuga Fuuki's Byakugan ability does indeed have the potential to cause a complete upheaval in the ninja world.

But after this brief encounter, Jiraiya gained a general understanding of Fuuki's personality.

His intuition told him that, at least for now, the young man with such great potential in front of him was unlikely to commit such an extreme act of evil as Orochimaru, which would destroy Konoha.

Before activating Sage Mode, he wanted to give his opponent a chance.

"The Great Toad Sage's prophecies have never been wrong, and you are most likely the white-eyed boy he foretold."

After a brief pause, Jiraiya said with a serious expression, "So, let's give up. Asking Tsunade to establish a completely new ninja village is an extremely dangerous move no matter how you look at it."

Aside from her own personal reasons, Tsunade is also the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

If Feng Qi were to establish a ninja village in another country, regardless of his motives, it would have an unimaginable impact on Konoha!

"Lord Jiraiya, you must have heard of the death prophecy of the priestess of the Land of Demons, right?"

Feng Qi did not directly answer Jiraiya's question, but instead said, "Before she met me, her predictions were 100% accurate."

"Since you firmly believe in the so-called prophecy of fate, then if the priestess of the Land of Demons announces your death to your face, will you obediently end your own life?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was visibly taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward with a determined expression.

"The prophecy of the priestess of the Land of Demons is always confined to the personal realm, but what the Great Toad Sage pointed out concerns the life and death of the entire ninja world!"

"So what is the essential difference between the two?"

At this point, Feng Qi's lazy gaze turned serious.

"Look at reality and understand yourself. For the sake of Konoha and the ninja world, isn't it more practical to strive to become stronger than to spend your entire life searching for the so-called 'Child of Destiny'?"

The thought-provoking speech caused Jiraiya to lower his head slightly and fall into silence.

If anyone else said such a thing, he could find countless ways to refute it, but he couldn't use them on the clean-skinned, white-eyed boy in front of him.

The reason is simple: Hyuga Fuuki broke free from the Caged Bird Seal on his own, shattering the fate that the Hyuga branch family ninjas had struggled to change for hundreds of years!

At this moment, Jiraiya's unwavering belief began to waver.

But how easy is it for him to give up the goal he has pursued for many years and completely deny his fate?

No matter how strong he is or how cheerful his personality is, he is ultimately just an ordinary person and it is difficult for him to escape the shadow of Mount Myōboku.

“You’ve never seen the Great Toad Sage, so you have no idea what his prophecy means.” Jiraiya shook his head.

Between Hyuga Fuuki and the Great Toad Sage he had known since childhood, he naturally chose the latter.

Seeing that Feng Qi had no intention of backing down, and also to clear his mind of confusion from the cracks in his heart.

puff.

Jiraiya decisively bit his fingers, drawing deeper lines along the existing red lines on his face.

Then, he clapped his hands together and began to absorb and transform natural energy, entering the preparation stage for activating the Immortal Mode!

Seeing this, Feng Qi sat up slightly, his nerves tensing up involuntarily.

Even when facing the Six Paths of Pain who knew nothing about him, Jiraiya in Sage Mode was able to defeat three of them, demonstrating his undeniable strength.

Otherwise, the controversial topic of "Jiraiya the Informant" wouldn't have arisen.

While remaining vigilant, Feng Qi was also carefully observing and sensing the natural energy around him, studying its operating principles through the unique properties of the Byakugan.

Having more skills is never a bad thing. If he can use this to deduce the training method of Sage Chakra, it will greatly improve his overall combat strength.

It might even cause the Qi chakra, which has been fused with the power of the demons, to undergo another qualitative change!

With a "bang," billowing white smoke, representing the summoning technique, rose around Jiraiya.

A terrifying and surging aura erupted in that instant, and a storm, stirred up by the intense compression of natural energy, dispersed the white smoke that filled the ground.

Three pairs of extremely imposing frog eyes slowly opened.
