Deep in Turtle Island

"Judging from the intensity of this battle, Lord Jiraiya is probably in grave danger..."

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, stared solemnly into the distance. The aftershocks of the great battle between Fengtian and Jiraiya made him feel increasingly tense.

The surging energy fluctuations, like giant waves in a storm, inspired fear.

"Should we intervene?"

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with urgency.

At the same time, he began to emit a faint steam, a sign that the power of the tailed beast within him was stirring, clearly indicating that he was ready to engage in battle at any moment.

Utakata, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, remained silent, only gripping the bubble-blowing device tightly in his hand, his eyes gleaming with determination.

His eyes seemed to say that as soon as the battle horn sounded, he would throw himself into it without hesitation and fight with all his might.

However, amidst this tense atmosphere, Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, spoke up:

"Everyone, please calm down. Jiraiya-sensei is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha. I believe he will definitely win!"

Although her words were full of determination, even she had to admit that the outcome of this battle was uncertain, and she could not guarantee Jiraiya's victory with absolute certainty.

They are currently trapped inside the barrier array deep within Turtle Island. If Jiraiya is also defeated, the barrier array will be forcibly activated to teleport them out, preventing the tailed beasts from falling into Fengtian's hands!

"Are we just going to sit here and wait?"

Old Zi frowned, his voice carrying a hint of resentment.

Han nodded, indicating his agreement with Lao Zi's view:

"Yeah, we can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

Yu Gao gently blew a transparent bubble, which shimmered with iridescent light in the sunlight, but his gaze remained unusually firm:

"We cannot act blindly; we must wait for the right opportunity."

Kushina bit her lip, knowing full well the heavy responsibility she bore as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki and that she couldn't afford to take unnecessary risks.

"Utaka is right. We should trust Jiraiya-sama, and at the same time, we should be fully prepared."

Just then, the battle in the distance suddenly stopped, and the tense atmosphere in the air eased slightly.

The four looked at each other, all filled with doubt:

Has Jiraiya already defeated Fengtian?

However, at this critical moment, an even more powerful and terrifying aura suddenly surged out from the depths of Turtle Island, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, quickly enveloping the entire island and giving everyone present an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"What's going on?"

Old Zi exclaimed in surprise, his eyes fixed on the source of the mysterious aura, trying to discern some clues.

Han's expression also became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"This aura... could it be...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

The bubble in Yu Gao's hand suddenly burst at that moment, as if even he could not withstand the pressure of this aura.

A flicker of fear crossed his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Oh no, this isn't Jiraiya-sama's aura!"

Kushina's heart sank; she seemed to have a premonition of the worst possible outcome.

Her voice trembled slightly:

"Could it be... that Jiraiya-sensei...?"

Before she could finish speaking, her face was already filled with worry and fear.

Just then, an unexpected figure suddenly swept across the top of the barrier array, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind that made everyone's clothes flutter loudly.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a young man holding Jiraiya by the neck with one hand, as easily as lifting a chick. His face was filled with arrogance, and his eyes were piercing as he looked down at the Jinchūriki below.

This scene left everyone present stunned; they could hardly believe their eyes.

Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, was so easily subdued by a young man, which was beyond their imagination.

"Hmph! As expected, you're all here!"

When Fengtian saw Kushina and the others, a crazed grin instantly appeared on his face.

He casually tossed Jiraiya away as if he were a piece of trash, without a second thought.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Upon seeing this, Kushina's heart tightened, and an anxious cry escaped her lips.

She jumped up almost instantly, her body shooting into the air like an arrow, and caught Jiraiya as he fell helplessly.

When her hands touched Jiraiya's cold body, an indescribable pang of pain surged through her heart.

Kushina held Jiraiya tightly, her gaze fixed on his pale face and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. Her eyes were filled with worry and fear, forming an indescribable emotion.

She could sense Jiraiya's weakness; the feeling of his life force slipping away tormented her.

"Jiraiya-sensei, hang in there!"

Kushina's voice was choked with sobs, but she tried to calm herself down and channeled chakra into Jiraiya, attempting to stabilize his injuries.

Seeing this, Lao Zi, Han, and Yu Gao also gathered around, their eyes filled with anger and worry.

"Fengtian, you bastard!"

Old Purple roared, wanting to rush forward and fight Fengtian to the death, but was stopped by Kushina.

"Don't be impulsive, we are no match for him right now."

Kushina's voice trembled, but her tone was unusually firm.

Fengtian looked down at the Jinchuriki below, a mocking smile on his face:

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, daring to be my enemy? How laughable."

As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals, preparing to launch an attack.

Seeing this, Kushina quickly put Jiraiya down on the ground, stood up, and rapidly formed hand seals, preparing to fight Fengtian.

"Watch out, everyone! He's about to attack!"

Kushina shouted a reminder.

Just as Fengtian's attack was about to land, Kushina suddenly disappeared from her spot and appeared behind Fengtian, punching him in the back.

However, Fengtian was faster than Kushina. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he easily dodged Kushina's attack and knocked her back with a counter-punch.

"Hmph, is that all you've got?"

Fengtian sneered and continued his attack.

Seeing this, Lao Zi, Han, and Yu Gao also unleashed their ninjutsu and engaged in a fierce battle with Feng Tian.

Although the four of them were quite strong when they joined forces, they still seemed somewhat powerless in front of Fengtian.

While fighting, Fengtian mocked them:

"Hmph, the legendary Sannin of Konoha are nothing special after all..."

"And you Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are nothing but a rabble."

Kushina and the others were even angrier after hearing Fengtian's words, but their attacks became even more chaotic.

Just then, Jiraiya suddenly got up from the ground. His face was still pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

"Kushina, you all step back!" Jiraiya shouted.

Although Kushina and the others were unwilling, they knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so they all retreated, leaving the battlefield to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya knew full well the strength of Fengtian; even he and the two toad sages of Mount Myōboku were no match for him. Therefore, he had prepared for the worst!

He moved his hands rapidly, forming a series of complex hand seals, and then slammed his hand on the ground. The surrounding barrier array seemed to receive his call and began to resonate strongly with him.

Beams of light burst forth from the barrier array, illuminating the entire space, as if making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

However, Fengtian was not intimidated by the light. A cold glint flashed across his face, and his eyes instantly switched to the [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]. A chilling [Power of Cause and Effect] surged from his body, instantly filling the entire space.

"Reverse the cause and effect! Turn things around!"

Fengtian let out a low roar, and the barrier array that was originally shining brightly began to dim rapidly under the effect of this powerful [causal power], as if it had never been activated.

This scene astonished everyone present; they had never seen such a bizarre and powerful force.

Fengtian coldly surveyed the crowd, his voice as icy as ice:

"Now, do you have any last words to say?"
