Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Is it alright?"

Fukasaku asked from his shoulder.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode lasted for a period of time, so it's hard to say how his natural energy has changed.

Everyone will feel somewhat fatigued, more or less.

"Jiraiya".

Shima said in a low voice.

Jiraiya glanced over at it.

"This is your only chance."

"What do you mean?"

Shima's words were so shocking that even Jiraiya was startled; he actually had a way to deal with the monster in front of him.

"That guy's movements have become a bit sluggish."

Could it be that—

Shima and Fukasaku were working in tandem, and Jiraiya still didn't understand what was going on.

What on earth are you talking about?

"Empty palm".

Jiraiya quickly dodged to the side.

"This guy can't fully absorb natural energy; the residual energy is taking effect in his body."

"It's petrification, but not completely petrification."

Fukasaku quickly voiced his guess, and Shima nodded in agreement.

Just like the child's father said.

“Natural energy is different from chakra and is not a type of energy. I’m afraid that child’s absorption is only able to absorb chakra energy. Even if he can absorb natural energy mixed in, it will only be barely.”

Shima kept explaining her analysis, and indeed, just as she said, the Ōtsutsuki's exterior was already covered in dust, a sign that it was about to petrify.

"Whoo~"

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

"It is indeed good news, but our natural energy is also running low, and the Sage Mode cannot be maintained for that long."

Jiraiya threw a kunai at him, just to harass him a bit.

Such an attack could be easily blasted away by Otsutsuki with a wave of his hand.

"Then, let's go!"

Jiraiya moved his feet and charged straight over.

"Immortal Techniques, Left and Right Guardians."

Jiraiya, Fukasaku, and Shima all performed hand seals simultaneously.

Jiraiya was in charge of the oil, Fukasaku was in charge of the wind, and Shima was in charge of the fire.

The three ninjutsu combined, and a sea of ​​fire erupted, continuously hurtling towards the Otsutsuki.

"Are we going to waste our time again? A monkey is a monkey."

Otsutsuki maintained the same expression and simply raised his hand.

The eye was still in the palm of his hand, then it opened and absorbed all the flames rushing towards it.

"Then give it to me."

"Enjoy watching the monkeys' performance!"

Jiraiya continued walking, releasing ninjutsu as he went.

This requires extremely strong chakra control, which Jiraiya clearly possessed.

Hang in there!

Otsutsuki's brow twitched and furrowed slightly, a moment that Jiraiya clearly saw.

—Now!

Jiraiya exerted his strength one last time, and he was almost in front of Otsutsuki.

The oil stopped flowing from his mouth, and so did the flame.

The red mark symbolizing a sage at the corner of Jiraiya's eye had become somewhat blurred.

—Hold on!

Jiraiya stubbornly began absorbing natural energy, with Fukasaku and Shima helping him guide it.

Everyone knows that this is the crucial moment.

Even so, Jiraiya's body began to stiffen due to the natural energy.

He's about to start petrifying too.

Jiraiya drew a kunai from his waist, channeled natural energy into it, and then it was simple for him to do next.

The next moment, the flames in front of him were completely absorbed, and the figure of Otsutsuki was only a few steps away.

He stood there, his body covered in dust, looking somewhat petrified.

"Awaited!"

Jiraiya shouted and stepped down, covering the distance of several steps in one stride.

"monkey!"

Otsutsuki realized he had been tricked, and his voice changed, becoming somewhat angry.

Jiraiya doesn't care about all that.

Otsutsuki stood right in front of him, completely unable to react to his attack—no, he reacted but couldn't move his body.

Pfft!

Jiraiya shoved it in.

Along the palm of his hand, Otsutsuki didn't even have time to close his eyes.

Blood spurted from his palm, and time seemed to stand still for that instant.

"It's not over yet!"

Jiraiya thrust the needle deeper, using the force to kick the Otsutsuki's chin.

With that one kick, the Otsutsuki was sent flying, and Jiraiya released his kunai, letting it remain stuck inside.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique".

Jiraiya completed the hand seals in an instant and spat out a fire dragon.

"Immortal magic, the art of frog croaking."

Fukasaku's figure was no longer on Jiraiya's shoulder, but had risen into the air.

Otsutsuki gritted his teeth and picked up his other hand.

There are never just one eye.

Jiraiya's fire dragon flew down from below, while Fukasaku's sound waves rushed towards them.

Two different directions, and since Otsutsuki doesn't have two hands, he can't block it.

However, their speeds are different. Otsutsuki first absorbed the sound waves, and then began to absorb the fire dragon.

The kunai hidden within the fire dragon was also clearly discovered by Otsutsuki.

With one hand injured, Otsutsuki's taijutsu skills became somewhat difficult to execute, and his strength decreased considerably.

Just as the fire dragon began to be absorbed by the Otsutsuki, a kunai that brushed past suddenly burst out with smoke.

Jiraiya appeared there.

It was right next to the Otsutsuki.

"Oh! It's a monkey."

Jiraiya's arm had begun to petrify, and the red mark at the corner of his eye had not faded.

Otsutsuki stood there, stunned, not having enough time to do anything in that instant.

And then, with another "plop,"...

The kunai was inserted into the palm of Ōtsutsuki's other hand.

Blood gushed out just like before.

"Immortal Technique, the Art of Disrupting the Lion's Mane."

Jiraiya kicked the Otsutsuki away and continued.

The white hair on his shoulders began to grow, turning into needles that embraced the Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki pulled out the two kunai from his palms mid-air and then swung them around.

It was another resurgence.

This time, the rebirth of the nation was even stained red.

Jiraiya's Lion's Mane Technique was undoubtedly blocked.

"It's troublesome."

Jiraiya landed and immediately knelt on one knee. One of his arms was petrified and hung down as if it were broken.

"Stop using Sage Mode, or you're doomed."

Shima immediately issued a warning, and Fukasaku returned to his shoulder.

"Whoo~"

The red mark at the corner of Jiraiya's eye began to fade, and he was so weak that he almost collapsed.
