People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

With the help of Gamabunta, Jiraiya narrowed the gap between himself and Rasa, who was able to fly.

Jiraiya flicked his hair: "Lion's Mane Technique!"

The hair grew longer, forming a lion's head shape, and then it bound itself towards Luosha.

Rasa manipulated the sand mat, dodging Jiraiya's Lion's Mane Technique with great agility in the air.

"Tch, being able to fly is such a hassle. Bunta, jump up!"

Gamabunta leaped high into the sky.

Jiraiya pointed to Rasa below: "Gunta, Toad Oil Bomb!"

Gamabunta converted his chakra into oil and sprayed it downwards over a large area.

Because the area was too large, Rasa couldn't dodge it all, and inevitably got oil on his body.

Jiraiya formed a fire seal: "Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!

The flames Jiraiya spewed from the sky instantly ignited the oil, and the entire sky was covered in flames.

"Did it succeed?" Jiraiya stared intently at Rasa in the sea of ​​fire.

Suddenly!

Luo Sha's voice came from within the sea of ​​fire.

"Magnetic Escape? Placer Gold Realm Method!"

Countless sharp gold dust, like bamboo shoots, extended from the sea of ​​fire. If Gamabunta, who was descending from the sky, did not take action, he would definitely be pierced into a hedgehog.

"Bunta!"

Gamabunta exhaled a smoke ring, drew his giant katana from his waist, and swung it repeatedly, slicing through the gold dust below to create a space for himself to land.

Gamabunta landed steadily on the ground with Jiraiya.

Seeing this, Rasa aimed both palms at Jiraiya beneath his feet.

Suddenly, the ground shook and trembled. Jiraiya, who was standing on Gamabunta's head, looked down at the ground.

Large amounts of placer gold were seen continuously emerging from the ground.

"Bunta! Jump up again!"

"No! My feet are entangled in the gold dust!"

The gold dust on Gamabunta's feet was steadily climbing up his body until it covered his entire body.

Rasa clenched his fists tightly: "Magnetic Release: Great Burial of Gold Sand!"

A huge explosion came from inside the gold dust.

The cautious Rasa did not choose to approach, because he sensed something was wrong.

It is highly unusual that the explosion, caused by the heavy pressure of gold dust, did not result in any blood seeping from the gold dust.

However, Rasa was not surprised that he was fighting Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin.

suddenly!

Luo Sha felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.

Suddenly, Jiraiya appeared behind them, holding the Rasengan and pressing it towards Rasa's body.

Luo Sha hurriedly manipulated the gold dust to defend himself. Although he managed to block it, the hastily released gold dust was too scattered, and some of its power was not neutralized, resulting in abrasions to his hands.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Boundary Technique!"

Like bamboo shoots, the gold dust spread outwards from the center of Rasa, successfully forcing Jiraiya to retreat.

"He released the summoning jutsu while bound by the gold dust, then used the substitution jutsu to escape the gold dust's cover and hide in the side, waiting for his chance... As expected of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin!"

Despite being enemies, Rasa still praised Jiraiya.

Just as Jiraiya was about to answer Rasa, he heard the voice of the liaison unit.

"Lord Jiraiya, Konoha has been attacked by ninjas from Sunagakure and the One-Tailed Beast. The ninjas who went to provide support have returned to Konoha and are temporarily unable to support the front lines."

Upon receiving the news, Jiraiya looked at Rasa in the air with a solemn expression: "Rasa, you really have a big hand. You actually dared to send the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to attack Konoha. Aren't you afraid that we, Konoha, will capture and seal the One-Tailed?!"

"Jinchūriki are weapons. Since they are weapons, they can only play their proper role in war. If they are always timid and hesitant, then jinchūriki lose their meaning."

Rasa manipulated the surrounding gold dust, transforming it into long spears that he continuously shot at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya kept dodging and thinking of a solution.

The main force of Sunagakure is here now, and the Konoha ninjas on the front line are no match for Sunagakure ninjas, not to mention that Rasa, the Kazekage, is also here.

The Konoha ninjas who came to support them have all returned to defend Konoha, meaning they are now isolated and helpless. If the Sand Village breaks through the front line and joins up with the Sand Village ninjas who are destroying Konoha, then Konoha will be in danger.

Jiraiya, who originally intended to keep Naruto out of the war, now has no choice but to rely on Naruto's Nine-Tails power.

In Miaomu Mountain.

Naruto, who was undergoing the final training of the Frog Kumite, was interrupted by Fukasaku the toad.

"Naruto, Jiraiya needs your help."

Naruto thought to himself, 'It's finally here!'

Fukasaku the toad placed his hand on Naruto's body.

"Now I will use Reverse Summoning to teleport you to the battlefield. Are you ready, Naruto?"

"I was... well prepared!"

On the front lines between Konoha and Sunagakure, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared. When the smoke cleared, Naruto's figure appeared on the battlefield.

Seeing Naruto's Sage Mode mask, Jiraiya was overjoyed: "Naruto! You've actually achieved a perfect Sage Mode! That's fantastic!"

Naruto's cold gaze swept over Jiraiya, but he did not answer.

Jiraiya sensed that Naruto was acting very strangely: "Naruto? What's wrong with you?"

Each of the five great ninja villages has its own intelligence network to know the other's Jinchuriki. When Naruto appeared on the battlefield, Rasa immediately recognized Naruto as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Magnetic Escape? Placer Gold Cube!"

Rasa used gold dust to create a cube, which he then violently rammed into Naruto.

"Frog knock!"

Naruto gathered Sage Chakra in his hand and unleashed a powerful attack, clenching his fist and slamming it down on the gold sand cube.

The incredibly hard gold-dust cube was instantly sent flying by Naruto's smash.

Naruto closed his eyes and called out Kurama in his heart.

Kurama, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes: "Naruto, have you begun your plan? Feel free to use my power!"

"Thanks, Nine-Ratna!"

With Kurama's permission, Naruto instantly entered Tailed Beast Transformation mode, while his own Sage Mode remained unchanged.

The horizontal stripes of the Sage Mode's eyes and the vertical stripes of the Tailed Beast's eyes overlap to form a cross-shaped eye. Naruto can now use not only Kurama's power but also Sage Mode's Sage Techniques.

Naruto created a shadow clone, and in Naruto's palm appeared a super-large red Rasengan formed from highly compressed Nine-Tails chakra.

Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak suddenly extended two Nine-Tails Chakra hands, grabbing the gold dust that was dragging Rasa along, and Naruto's main body rapidly approached Rasa's location.

"Sage Art: Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan!"

Chapter 244 Revenge

Faced with Naruto's attack, Rasa manipulated a large amount of gold dust to surround his body.

Naruto's super-sized Rasengan, powered primarily by the Nine-Tails' chakra and enhanced with Sage Mode chakra, is equivalent in power to the impact of a small meteorite.

The moment Naruto's Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan touched the gold sand, the gold sand encasing Rasa began to crack and fall off continuously.

Rasa roared and kept manipulating the gold dust to replenish the gold dust that had been knocked off by Naruto's attack.

Naruto's expression was extremely calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Just when Rasa thought he had successfully blocked Naruto's attack, another unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, another Nine-Tails chakra hand appeared behind Naruto, and a small Rasengan enhanced by Sage Mode appeared in the palm of the Nine-Tails chakra hand.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the small Rasengan completely collapsed after hitting Rasa's gold dust.

Rasa was engulfed in the violent explosion, leaving the ninjas below speechless with astonishment.

The most shocked person was Jiraiya. He never expected that Naruto could combine Sage Chakra and Tailed Beast Chakra and unleash such great power.

However, Jiraiya was vaguely worried. Danzo had said that Naruto could only maintain a clear sense of self when he was in the Four-Tails form, but now Naruto had entered the Five-Tails form.

A figure fell from the sky; it was Rasa, who had been struck by Naruto.

Just before it was about to fall to the ground, Rasa manipulated the gold dust as a cushion, and landed safely on the ground.

Chiyo broke through Asuma and the others' entanglement and came to the side of the injured Rasa: "Rasa, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's strength has exceeded our imagination. What's most terrifying is that he still has his own consciousness in his tailed beast form. This battle has already been lost. If we continue to entangle ourselves, and Konoha Village reacts, Shukaku will be sealed away, which will be completely bad."

Rasa knew in his heart that the fate of Sunagakure was sealed, but he was extremely unwilling to accept that a kid had turned the tide.

Chiyo's younger brother, Ebizo, also retreated to Rasa's side and advised, "Don't completely destroy the future of Sunagakure here. As long as we are alive, we will be able to make a comeback sooner or later!"

Rasa's eyes were terrifyingly fierce, but he was helpless. He hadn't expected Konoha to be so well hidden, that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could control the Tailed Beast just as perfectly as the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure.

Now that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has joined the battlefield, Sunagakure's previous slight advantage has vanished, and their morale has plummeted, leading to a series of defeats.

Luo Sha announced with difficulty, "Retreat!"

Seeing that the Sunagakure ninjas were retreating under Rasa's leadership, the Konoha ninjas did not choose to pursue them.

The Konoha ninja cheered with joy at the victory, constantly calling out Naruto Uzumaki's name.

Jiraiya walked up behind Naruto and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, Naruto!"

Suddenly, Jiraiya abruptly retreated, creating distance between himself and Naruto.

Confused, Might Guy asked, "What's wrong with Jiraiya-sama?"

Jiraiya didn't answer Might Guy, but instead looked solemnly at Naruto not far away.
