I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

This can be seen from the surrounding situation.

After the Tailed Beast Bomb killed most of the people, the remaining people also suffered heavy casualties in the ensuing battle.

In the nearby ruins, you can see Hyuga Hizashi, whose chest was pierced and who had already lost his life.

Not far from Hyuga Hizashi, Hyuga Hiashi was also lying down.

Although Hiashi Hyuga was still breathing faintly, his eyelids were sunken and two streams of bloody tears were flowing down his cheeks.

He was shocked to find that not only had he suffered severe injuries, but his eyes had also been taken away.

There are ruins in another direction.

Fugaku Uchiha knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his left eye strangely appearing as a grayish-white.

"monster!!"

Looking up at Naraku atop the One-Tailed Shukaku, Fugaku Uchiha's remaining right eye revealed fear and resentment.

If he hadn't decisively used Izanagi to change the reality of the fatal injury, he would now be a cold corpse like everyone else.

Fugaku Uchiha was not immune to defeat, but this time, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from the man opposite him.

It was as if he were just a genin waving his fist at a jonin, filled with a sense of powerlessness.

The Akimichi clan's Three-Colored Pill is indeed remarkably effective.

But the problem is that Chief Akimichi now faces more than just Shukaku.

To conserve his true energy, Naraku only attacks after his opponent has broken through Shukaku's defenses.

But as Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was unable to defeat the Akimichi clan leader for a long time, he also loosened his arms that were crossed over his chest.

brush!

The technique of "shrinking the earth to an inch" is employed.

Just as the Akimichi clan chief's punch was once again blocked by Shukaku's claws, Naraku suddenly appeared behind him.

"Thunder Magic - Thunder Blade!"

Brilliant lightning coalesced into a forty-meter-long sword, and 'Naraku' swung it out with icy eyes.

The swift slash continued until the massive lightning sword was about to strike his neck, at which point Chief Qiu Dao finally reacted.

puff! !

Blood spurts.

The Thunder Sword was not only enormous, but its sharpness was also extremely terrifying.

The strike encountered almost no resistance and instantly severed the head of the Akimichi clan chief, sending him flying.

The body and head are separated.

The Akimichi clan's multiplication technique was involuntarily canceled.

Whether it was the head that was thrown away or the body that remained in place, they all shrank back to their original size, and then, like the people before them, became another corpse in the field.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Just as Naraku was killing the Akimichi clan chief, three raging, dragon-like flames rapidly swept in from afar.

Flames came.

Naraku, who descended from the sky, showed no sign of panic.

He shrunk the giant thunder sword back to its normal size and casually cleaved the incoming flames in two.

brush!

The flames dissipated, and 'Naraku' flashed back to the top of Shukaku's head.

A figure followed closely in the direction from which the flames were coming.

"Psychicism!"

The one who came was none other than Zilai.

Upon entering the ruins of the examination venue, Jiraiya bit his finger without hesitation and slammed his palm into the ground.

Bang! !

Amidst the swirling smoke, Jiraiya rose from the ground, and beneath his feet appeared a gigantic toad, its size comparable to that of Shukaku.

"One-Tailed Beast? Hey, Jiraiya, you don't mean to make me fight this guy, do you?"

When Gamabunta, who had been summoned by spirit, saw Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, he immediately became uneasy and asked Jiraiya above his head in surprise.

"Lord Fukasaku, Lord Shima, Bunta, the situation is urgent, and we have no choice but to ask for your help!" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

As you can see, in addition to Gamabunta at his feet, two small toads, one male and one female, have also appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders.

"Jiraiya, this is Konoha, right? It seems the situation here is indeed quite urgent."

"Konoha has been invaded? And they even have tailed beasts. It looks like we're in for a tough battle!"

Leaving aside Gamabunta, the two toads on Jiraiya's shoulders, though much smaller than Gamabunta, appear to be taller when they are posed.

Even when referring to Jiraiya, they added a small character before his name.

These two little toads are none other than Fukasaku and Shima, a married couple from Mount Myōboku, whose status is second only to the Great Toad Sage and who also possess the same Sage Techniques.

They arrived through spiritual communication.

Fukasaku and Shima were surprised by Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, but they reacted quickly and immediately looked around the entire arena.

When they saw the corpses scattered all around, Tsunade fighting a powerful enemy in the distance, and Konoha suffering severe damage even further away.

Both Fukasaku and Shima immediately showed solemn expressions.

Jiraiya also quickly glanced at Tsunade in the distance.

When he saw the lines on Tsunade's face, his heart sank even further.

He naturally knew about the "Yin Seal" and the "Hundred Healings Technique".

They also knew the side effects that could occur if these two techniques were overused.

"Bunta! Use oil!"

From Jiraiya's arrival to the toads of Mount Myōboku, it all happened in a very short period of time.

Similarly, after briefly checking Tsunade's condition, Jiraiya immediately focused his gaze on Shukaku and Naraku on the opposite side.

Without hesitation, Jiraiya gave the order to Gamabunta beneath his feet, while simultaneously forming hand seals with lightning speed.

"without--"

Gamabunta had by then seen his surroundings clearly and knew that Konoha had been invaded by a powerful enemy and had suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, upon hearing Jiraiya's order, it immediately prepared to spray toad oil to cooperate with Jiraiya's fire release technique.

"Wind Style: Air Training Bullet!"

Before Gamabunta and Jiraiya could complete their combined ninjutsu, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, had already launched an attack.

With a swift movement, a massive blast of wind shot out, causing Gamabunta and Jiraiya's expressions to change.

Chapter 145 The Magical Toad's Final Song

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Head Carving!"

Shima, who was on Jiraiya's left shoulder, narrowed his eyes and immediately spat out a small fireball.

The fireball was very weak when it first flew out, but after traveling a certain distance, it immediately expanded rapidly, forming a huge wave of fire.

boom! ! !

The fire wave met the wind bullet.

Regardless of the elemental advantage of chakra or the superiority of Sage Chakra, the Wind Bullet not only failed to break through the fire wave, but instead fueled the fire wave to burn even more fiercely.

The rolling waves of fire spread out in an overwhelming manner, violently sweeping towards Shukaku and Naraku.

Its claws extended.

As Shukaku lunged at the oncoming wave of fire, just before they collided, it suddenly spewed out sand from its claws, creating an even larger sand wave that blocked the fire wave from getting closer.

On one side were waves of fire, and on the other side were waves of sand.

The collision of the two seemed to split the entire world in two, even affecting Pakura and Tsunade who were fighting on the other side, who had to dodge the incoming sand and flames.

"They've finally arrived!"

After stepping back a distance, Tsunade, who appeared to be unharmed, actually had a look of exhaustion in her eyes.

She looked toward where Jiraiya was.

My heart, which had been taut all along, finally had a moment to breathe.

Whether it was the battle with Yekura or the constant deaths of others, the pressure she was under was immense.

So much so that she felt a vague sense of despair deep inside.

But the good thing is.
