Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

However, the disparity was so great that Jiraiya couldn't even see the two of them fighting. He could only see a huge crater suddenly appear on the ground, or a terrifying scene of a sudden explosion in mid-air and nearby mountains instantly collapsing.

This is a feeling I've never had before.

Before this, Jiraiya always thought he was one of the few strong people in the ninja world who stood at the top. If he used Sage Mode, he was confident that he could fight any of the five Kage from the five great ninja villages.

But after arriving in the Land of Rain, Jiraiya discovered that the world seemed to have changed.

First, his disciple Nagato could suppress him, but Nagato at least had the Rinnegan. Then there was Hanzo of the Salamander. This demigod of the ninja world was already standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world. It was not surprising that Jiraiya could have such strength after consuming a powerful treasure.

Moreover, although Nagato and Hanzo of the Salamander were strong, Jiraiya believed that if he returned to the village and called Tsunade and Orochimaru, then whether it was Pain or the demigods of the ninja world who had eaten the secret treasure, the three Sannin together would have a chance of winning.

But now, Suzuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki have filled Jiraiya with a deep sense of despair!

He couldn't even see the figures during the battle. The gap was so huge and unimaginable that Jiraiya felt he had no chance of winning, let alone the Sannin or even the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

BOOM—!!

The loud explosions continued, and the flying debris made it difficult for Konan, Kakuzu, and the others to escape.

Fortunately, the battle between Suzuki and Otsutsuki Isshiki slowly moved into the sky, where they began to clash above the clouds.

Where did these two incredibly powerful beings come from?

Jiraiya looked up at the clouds that had split open in the sky, and as he watched the perennial drizzle of the Land of Rain suddenly disappear, a look of profound solemnity appeared in his eyes.

perhaps……

Only the First Hokage and that ninja demon could possibly fight them, right?

……

High in the sky above the Land of Rain.

Bang! ! !

The clouds burst open instantly.

Otsutsuki Isshiki was losing ground in the collision with Suzuki, and his body was falling rapidly downwards.

"Damn it... I don't have enough power in my body."

Otsutsuki Isshiki felt his condition with a grim expression.

Seeing Suzuki flying towards him, he gritted his teeth, and a dark red vortex instantly appeared in the direction from which his body was falling.

Once I've absorbed the power of the Ten-Tails, I'll deal with you, you troublesome fellow!

Otsutsuki Isshiki concealed half of his body within the vortex, his gaze towards Suzuki filled with murderous intent.

"Finally... time to go get the little ten-tailed fox, huh?"

Suzuki smiled, then his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing swiftly towards the dark red vortex, and entered the alternate dimension with Otsutsuki amidst Otsutsuki's astonished gaze.

……

In another dimension.

Otsutsuki Isshiki flew rapidly toward the location of the Ten-Tails, while Suzuki followed behind him at a leisurely pace.

"Faster...faster!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki glanced at the lightning bolt following closely behind him, gritted his teeth, and desperately urged his power to fly at full speed.

Seeing this, Suzuki narrowed his eyes slightly, then silently slowed down.

Not long after.

At the end of the tenth position.

Looking at Suzuki, who had already been left far behind and disappeared from sight, Otsutsuki Isshiki couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression on his face:

"Hmph, a nobody who popped up from who-knows-where..."

As he spoke, he looked at the little ten-tailed fox in front of him, and his killing intent towards Suzuki suddenly became extremely strong:

"Just you wait, I'm coming to kill you right now!"

After saying that, Isshiki Otsutsuki walked towards the little Ten-Tails and reached out his hand to absorb its energy.

However, at that moment...

"Thank you, Mr. Isshiki."

Suzuki's figure suddenly appeared in front of the little ten-tailed beast.

Immediately, as Isshiki Otsutsuki's pupils dilated, an incredibly fast and unimaginable blade of light slashed down.

The cold light was as sharp as winter snow, exuding a strong sense of death!

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hurriedly raised his black rod to defend himself, but surprisingly, the lightning blade passed right through the black rod like flowing water.

"How is that possible?!"

It was hard to believe, but the sharp blade sliced ​​through the air and struck his chest in an instant.

"It's a pity, you're useless now."

The thunder blade in Suzuki's hand slowly dissipated.

"You...you damned bastard!"

"You were hiding your abilities?!"

As Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt his body being split in two, a look of resentment immediately appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I guess so."

Suzuki reached out and touched the trembling little Ten-Tails, then turned to look at Isshiki Otsutsuki and chuckled:

"Your Daikokuten is even more troublesome than Obito Uchiha's Kamui."

"My body doesn't have much spatial ability, so I can only find this little guy by following you."

"You...you deserve to die! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!..."

Feeling his life force rapidly slipping away, Otsutsuki Isshiki was filled with hatred for Suzuki!

The Otsutsuki clan can survive in the Karma state; as long as they find a suitable host, they can be resurrected even after death. However, if they are killed while in a parasitic state, even an Otsutsuki will vanish into nothingness.

At this moment, Ichishiki, who was parasitizing Jigen, was cut in two by Suzuki.

No, I absolutely do not want to die!

I haven't gotten revenge on that woman yet, and I haven't gone back...

An incredibly strong will to survive was revealed in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes!

Then, seeing Suzuki in front of him seemingly not caring at all about his impending death and constantly teasing the little ten-tailed beast, Isshiki hardened his expression and pounced over with all his might.

"You damn bastard!"

"I'll make sure you suffer even if it kills me!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki was uncertain about changing hosts while on the verge of death.

But no matter what, he had to try, at least to make Suzuki pay the price!

bang~

The monk Jigen's upper body collided with Suzuki's, and he grabbed Suzuki's left arm tightly with his hand. Then, the black runes covering his body flowed towards Suzuki as if they were alive.

"Become my next host!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"..."

A strange look flashed in Suzuki's eyes, but he did not resist. Instead, he stood quietly in place, waiting for the transmission of the technique to end.

Not long after.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I actually succeeded! I'm still alive!!!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki's loud laughter rang out.

"yes."

"Congratulations, Mr. Isshiki."

Suzuki responded with a light laugh.

"!!!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Even if he had just been placed in the wedge and couldn't control the host's body, Suzuki shouldn't be so calm.

"Why are you doing this... ah—"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he had suffered some unimaginable shock.

"Mr. Itsuki, you may not know this, but I have done some research on brainwashing."

"Consciousness can get stuck if it receives too much information, and the same goes for data."

Suzuki lowered his head slightly, looking at the black lines that stretched from his left palm to his left shoulder, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes:

"The core ability of your clan's Wedge is data processing, isn't it?"

"That's quite an ability."

The figure, shimmering with silvery-white light, suddenly changed, and countless strangely colored tentacles emerged.

Fish eyes, cat eyes, snake eyes, fox eyes...

The transparent wings of a dragonfly, the feathered wings of a bird, the snow-white wings of a swan...

Each tentacle is covered with countless different kinds of eyes and teeth, and wings of various shapes grow on both sides of the tentacles. The tentacle skin is even covered with tiger fur, fish scales, and so on.

The terrifying and eerie yet inexplicably sacred aura instantly made the little ten-tailed fox tremble.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki screamed in terror and pain.

"Monster? How can you say that? That's incredibly rude."

Suzuki shook his tentacle, and all eyes turned to the black markings on one of the tentacles. He patiently explained:

"Mr. Isshiki, this is the return of all things to oneness."

"Just like how you Otsutsuki use the Divine Tree to collect genes, I'm just taking a different path from you."

"Bullshit! You're clearly a monster! Ah—"

Otsutsuki Isshiki howled in pain.

Suzuki smiled, ignoring Isshiki's angry curses, and looked regretfully at the black patterns, saying:

"Your Otsutsuki Karma can parasitize others in a data-driven way, retain your own power within the data, and allow the host to use your power. What a perfect parasitic race you are!"

"Unfortunately, it possessed self-awareness."

"You... monster..."

An endless stream of chaotic information assaulted Isshiki Otsutsuki's consciousness, making his speech fragmented and disjointed.

Countless eyes stared at the black patterns, and countless mouths spoke at the same time:

"Stop thinking about planting trees all the time; that's not something your Otsutsuki clan should be doing!"

"Wouldn't it be better to just make a quiet, unassuming system?"

"Wouldn't it be enough if it just made a 'ding' sound when the host achieved a certain goal?"

The next moment, countless tentacles began to fiddle with the tentacle covered in black patterns.

"..."

The Otsutsuki style has fallen into complete silence.

a long time.

"No sound? The modification failed?"

Suzuki curiously reached out his tentacle and touched the black patterns that had turned into a tangled mess.

"Ding~"

"Your system has been activated. To use the Lesser Name Kunduna, say 'one'; to use the Great Black Heaven, say 'two'. To ensure successful activation, please prepare sufficient energy in advance."

Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's voice rang out again, but it had become devoid of emotion, as cold and mechanical as a machine.

"Heh heh... this is really interesting..."

The tentacles waved wildly, and the terrifying aura made the little ten-tailed fox shrink back and close its eyes.

After a while.

A seven-colored light suddenly appeared, and countless tentacles pressed towards it.

Soon, Suzuki transformed back into human form, holding a strange, black, fleshy ball in his left hand.

"Little one, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Suzuki walked to the little ten-tailed fox's side, reached out and gently stroked its head, soothing its fear.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

Little Ten-Tails stared in horror at the humanoid monster before it.

"It's time to go back."

Suzuki smiled, then pinched the little ten-tailed beast's head with one hand and gave an order to the small black, fleshy ball in his left hand:

"The One-Style System uses Daikokuten."

"Ding, the 'Rice-Character Golden Eye' is loading... Activating... Activated..."

……

……

Outside, in the Land of Rain.

Looking at the sky, which had suddenly quieted down and was once again covered by dark clouds, Jiraiya looked puzzled:

"Boss, Big Sister."

"Did they leave? Or did someone win?"

Shima and Fukasaku shook their heads together and said:

"have no idea."

"How could I possibly sense something that's so far away?"

"My wife and I have to go back to Mount Myōboku, little Jiraiya."

"Indeed, we need to go back and report this to the old man. Jiraiya, you should leave too. It's best not to stay in this awful place any longer."

"Alright, boss, goodbye, big sister."

Jiraiya said goodbye to the two toads.

bang~

With a burst of white mist appearing and then dissipating, Shima and Fukasaku disappeared without a trace.

Jiraiya turned his head to look at the location of Konan, Pain, and the others.

Not far away, Hanzo of the Salamander, still in his Gyu-oni form and covered in wounds, was confronting the Akatsuki members, and both sides seemed to want to continue fighting.

"roar--"

"Rinnegan brats, get out of the Land of Rain!"

"Hmph, dream on! Hanzo, if you don't want to live, we can kill you right now!"

"Heh, you've even lost your strongest puppet, and you still want to..."

Roars and curses rang out one after another.

But perhaps because both of them were also seriously injured, and Jiraiya was still nearby, the group ultimately did not fight again.

Soon, the Akatsuki members followed Pain away from the area, while Hanzo of the Salamander turned his head to look at Jiraiya:

"A disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi..."

"We meet again."

A murderous intent rose in Hanzo's heart.

Unlike at the end of World War II, when he had to spare the three legendary Sannin of Konoha because of the Land of Rain and had no hatred for Jiraiya, now he is no longer afraid of Konoha, and that brat with the Rinnegan is Jiraiya's disciple, which is infuriating.

"Well……"

"I'm so sorry, Hanzo-senpai, I'll be going now!"

Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Hanzo's eerie gaze. He immediately turned around and leaped and ran quickly toward the border of the Land of Rain.

"..."

The large, scarlet eyes on the head of the salamander Hanzo flickered uncertainly, but in the end, he sighed and gave up the pursuit.

……

……

a few days later.

Konoha Village, Hokage Building, Hokage's Office.

A group of high-ranking officials from Konoha Village had arrived at the scene. Orochimaru, Tsunade, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and others listened to Jiraiya's report on his trip to the Land of Rain in their offices as if they were listening to a myth.

"Wait... the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan?"

"What? You think even the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha couldn't beat them?"

"Jiraiya, are you sure you're not under a genjutsu?" (End of Chapter)
