Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

However, the energy they use is not the same as chakra; it is natural energy. What they use is more like sage art than ninjutsu.

"Roar!"

Fica, the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, could sense the threat of this attack.

Sage techniques have always been something that makes the tailed beasts wary.

Entering the second mode of the Tailed Beast, he lay flat on the ground, his eight tails waving constantly, and his skeleton began to cover his outer body.

Fica is now just one step away from becoming a fully-fledged Tailed Beast.

Chakra gathered in his mouth, and Ficayi's Tailed Beast Bomb was ready.

With just a shout, the Tailed Beast Cannon was launched, colliding directly with Jiraiya's Sage Mode.

"This battle is your defeat."

Jiraiya's white hair was blown around, and his Sage Ninja Technique was actually on par with the Tailed Beast Cannon, which was simply unbelievable.

You should know the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb; it can wipe out an entire village in an instant.

Jiraiya was still breathing flames, and a red shadow began to appear at the corner of his eye.

Sage Mode emerged during the battle.

After adjusting the chakra within his body, this is now a proper Sage Mode, instead of the ninjutsu that Jiraiya used before.

The Immortal Ninja Technique has been transformed into a proper Immortal Technique.

The infusion of natural energy actually suppressed the Tailed Beast Bomb. This scene is probably unbelievable to most people.

"Me now!"

Jiraiya's eyes transformed into the horizontal lines of a toad, and his expression became agitated.

"I'm not that weak person anymore!"

Before, Jiraiya had not yet truly reached the level of a Kage. At that time, he encountered Madara Uchiha and was utterly defeated. Now, he never wants to, and will never again, suffer such a miserable fate!

The scorching sea of ​​fire raised the temperature, burning everything around it to ashes, even the magnificent Tailed Beast Cannon in front of it was engulfed by flames.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Kato Dan and Kankuro's battle was also coming to an end.

Kankuro's hands clenched so tightly that they gained the upper hand in that instant while they were locked in a stalemate with Kato Dan.

Kato Dan's body stiffened instantly, revealing the thin lines that reflected the light.

"Now!"

"Gossip!"

Chakra burst forth, and with the Hyuga clan's unique taijutsu, a Bagua formation materialized beneath their feet.

"Sixty-four palm strikes!"

Fire Gate began to strike, landing palm strikes on Kato Dan's body.

One palm strike after another, each strike accurately hitting the pressure points. Even though this had no effect on the resurrected dead, it still hindered Kato Dan's movement.

"Since it's a deceased person!"

Kankuro's hands moved again, and the thin chakra threads flashed once more in the light.

"Black Crow!"

*Slap!* The final sixty-four palm strikes landed precisely at the right moment.

The puppet fell through the air and split in two in an instant, like a giant mouth swallowing Kato Dan whole, leaving only his head behind.

"It's done."

Kankuro smiled, as did Hinata. They exchanged a glance and then struck each other with their palms.

"Lord Anko, if you still can't resolve this, I'm afraid my chakra will run out first."

Sai spoke calmly, but one could clearly sense the weariness in his words, as well as the stoic expression on his face where a few drops of sweat had dripped down.

"Tch, Sai, you're not so good, it only lasted a little while."

Anko also had many injuries from being hit, and she was still at a disadvantage in her physical combat with Yekura.

"Tokuma, did you see that? It's time to get serious."

Hongdou clenched her fists tightly, a faint smile appearing on her face, which had been punched several times.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm".

Tokuma unleashed a palm strike, and the compressed shockwave shot directly towards Yekura.

Of course, Yekura wouldn't surrender easily. How could such a simple move possibly defeat the hero Yekura?

Yekura effortlessly dodged the attack.

"Don't forget I'm still here."

Red Bean leaps into the air, clutching a kunai in her hand, and flies over while shouting.

Yekura looked blankly at Anko, who was staring directly at him, while she herself drew a kunai.

"A female hero? I will have that title too!"

Anko's breathing changed, and her chakra began to surge forth.

dang!

Red beans and Yekura's kunai collided.

Red Bean and Leaf Village were competing in strength.

"Tokuma!"

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Red Bean called out, and Tokuma moved to a different position to respond.

Yekura glanced over, and Tokuma's compressed shockwave struck again with pinpoint accuracy. The range was well controlled, only hitting Yekura and at most grazing Anko.

Ye Cang increased his strength immediately, pushed aside Hongdou, and jumped to the side.

boom!

"Don't even think about running!"

Anko's kunai shot out, but Yekura actually managed to twist her body in mid-air to dodge it.

"I have a lot of ninja tools!"

Red Bean continued to draw out kunai, shooting them at Yekura with great speed.

This time, Yekura didn't dodge directly, but instead raised the kunai in her hand and directly deflected the flying kunai.

"Don't underestimate the kunai."

"It's terrible to be mindless; you won't notice anything."

Anko's chakra threads coiled in all directions, falling and embedding themselves into the kunai on the ground.

Yecang couldn't speak, she just looked around.

"Next, it's time for the performance."

Hongdou's hand tightened, and although it was only for a moment, it was indeed binding her.

"You didn't know how to use chakra back then, did you?"

Red Bean's hands released the chakra within her body.

Chakra flowed along the chakra threads, transforming into streams of flame that continued to travel through the chakra.

"Although it was only a little bit, the flames still materialized and crawled along the chakra lines toward Pakura, who was now restrained."

"Flames may not be as powerful as the sun, but don't underestimate them."

Flames burned in the fist as Red Bean threw a punch.

"Here's yours back! You can have your title, hero!"

Yekura was blasted straight into the sky.

"Sai!"

"received."

A black tiger leaped out and bit Ye Cang in one swift motion.

"Sealing Technique, Tiger's Gaze and Delayed Bullet."

------

"We won!"

A massive shadow loomed over Fica, Gamabunta's katana descended from the sky, interrupting Fica, and Jiraiya's flames engulfed him directly—

Chapter 394: The Fierce Prey of the Weak

"Did we lose?"

Dou said softly, but he didn't seem disappointed at all; instead, he smiled.

It's certainly not a good thing that the Allied Shinobi Forces' reconnaissance units defeated them, but Akatsuki and Kabuto have already achieved their objective.

White Zetsu possesses a unique characteristic that the Allied Shinobi Forces are unaware of yet—

"My lords, intelligence from the battlefield has been coming back one after another. The war between the five great ninja villages has passed its peak. It seems that the enemy forces have chosen to retreat shortly after our reinforcements arrived."

"In addition, the reconnaissance team led by Jiraiya-sama also achieved a great victory. The enemies—the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Ficayi, the hero of Sunagakure, Pakura, and the Konoha's Dan Kato—have all been successfully intercepted and sealed."

"That's good news."

Ai nodded, and Minato also showed a slight smile; this was the only good news.

All the other news received from the battlefield was that their side had suffered heavy losses. Akatsuki's side chose to retreat after reinforcements arrived. The Allied forces were not in an advantageous position to begin with, and it was impossible for them to pursue and fight their way out. The enemy was in the dark while we were in the light, and it was uncertain whether we would fall into an enemy trap if we rashly pursued them.

"Kato, is it over?"

Minato noticed the name that Yamanaka Inoichi had mentioned.

As Jiraiya's disciple, Minato naturally knew about what happened back then.
