Yang Yan chuckled and took out a pair of earrings.

That's... a divine-grade blessed talisman!

Yang Yan said preciously, "This is my beloved Yu's amulet for me. After wearing it... I will be the invincible Electric Princess!"

Yu said indulgently, "Oh? What makes you invincible? Let me see!"

"Heh heh... Well then, open your golden dog eyes and take a good look!"

Yang Yan wore the divine-blessed talisman.

Yu blamed himself: I was too cautious and too eager to hold back my trump cards... The divine-grade blessing talisman can even partially restore the power of my 'Netherworld Immortal Technique'. The 'complete' Netherworld Immortal Technique can be immune to all negative effects. If Yang Yan had this power protecting her when she was teleported away by Xue Ji, even if it wasn't enough to completely resist Xin Shi's illusion, she wouldn't have been manipulated so thoroughly!

The effects of the divine blessing talisman were immediate. Yang Yan's light purple double-breasted cloak was covered with a noble white haori with crisscrossing patterns. Combined with Yang Yan's long purple hair that opened like a fan, her aura was no less than that of Kaguya!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One after another, Seeking Dao Jade appeared, swirling around Yang Yan's waist!

"Hehehehe, imposter, I'm going to kill you!!"

In Yang Yan's pupils, Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyou Sharingan was wide open, displaying madness. He forcefully opened his palms, which were expanding backward due to the force of the blows, and Momoshiki's red Rinnegan spun wildly in his palms.

Yu tilted his head: "Is this what it means to be invincible? I don't think so..."

"Heh heh... Well then, just watch!"

*Snap!* Yang Yan's body transformed into lightning, reaching a speed equivalent to teleportation.

Yu dared not be careless, and an invisible wave of thought spread out from the Rinnegan on his forehead.

It is the extension of the human realm's power of vision—'A Thought in the Human Realm'!

It can read people's thoughts extensively and predict the opponent's next move!

All I saw was... Yu with her eyes closed, her body leaning back slightly.

Snapped!

A bolt of lightning flashed past, almost touching Yu's body.

Several kilometers away, Yang Yan exclaimed in surprise: "He actually dodged my 'Electric Soul Flash'!?"

Clap clap clap clap!

Lightning bolts streaked through the void, weaving into dazzling patterns...

Yu was at the center of those patterns.

"Heh heh, let's see how you hide now..."

In a fleeting moment... Yang Yanchongyu's silhouette appeared!

Daogu Aga Liu!

With a sharp crack, Yu's palm, covered in black, caught the fist that came from behind Yang Yan!

“Darling, let’s go home…”

call out!

Shenwei released a suction force... but almost simultaneously, Yangyan disappeared, and the lightning bolt shot straight into the clouds, changing the color of the sky.

Countless clusters of lightning lasers fell from the sky, passing over Yu's body and ravaging the land of Jianzhou Kingdom.

Rumble!!

Amidst the deafening roar, Orochimaru suggested, "Since Yu-kun and his wife are fighting, to avoid being caught in the crossfire, it would be better if we settled it somewhere further away. What do you think, Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya nodded and walked away with Orochimaru.

Then, in a canyon setting, the two bonded children faced each other.

Jiraiya, his cloak fluttering, said, "Orochimaru, you've been doing research in the Ninja Kingdom for so many years, and fighting is no longer your forte. I, on the other hand, have been tempered in life and death in the Kara organization and am the most skilled in life-or-death battles among the Sannin. You are no match for me."

Orochimaru smiled: "Perhaps... but I promised Tsunade that if things had developed to this point, I would bring you back safely."

"Tsunade..." Jiraiya couldn't help but be moved upon hearing his wife's name.

Orochimaru said seriously, "Jiraiya, let me ask you this: are you aware that you are being manipulated?"

Jiraiya frankly stated, "I know the Queen has tampered with me... but I now sincerely believe that making enemies of the Otsutsuki clan is not a wise move."

Orochimaru's heart sank: This is the terrifying thing about the Mind Style. It makes people clearly know that they are being manipulated, yet on a deep psychological level, they believe that it is reasonable.

Jiraiya raised his weathered face: "Orochimaru, when I learned you had gone astray, I followed in your footsteps, hoping you would change your mind. It's still the same now. Everyone has gone astray. I want everyone to change their minds, but the path the Shadow insisted on, in retrospect, was wrong..."

raging!

As he spoke, a brilliant flame ignited in his palm.

Orochimaru smiled knowingly and charmingly: "Right and wrong are not the original driving forces that influence people's actions. Take me for example, it is precisely because of the wind's unpredictable movement that I am captivated. If the answer is known from the beginning, there is no point in searching. More than the truth itself, I enjoy the process of discovering the truth..."

"After all these years, you really haven't changed..." Jiraiya said with mixed feelings, "Goodbye, Orochimaru, my former comrade-in-arms!"

Whoosh! Jiraiya's right eye, the Rinnegan with six tomoe, unleashed the brilliance of his eye technique!

—Amaterasu!

Whoosh! Orochimaru was grabbed from afar, and Jiraiya's hand, covered in flames, enveloped him!

Orochimaru could have dodged with his "Cloth Blade Life-Diving Technique," but for some reason, he didn't choose to do so!

The flames blazed fiercely, so intensely that even the regenerative abilities of Hashirama's cells couldn't repair themselves in time!

Swish!

Orochimaru suddenly opened his mouth, and a long arm emerged from his throat, wrapped with a golden rope, striking Jiraiya's shoulder.

Jiraiya's mouth... opened uncontrollably, and a golden spirit flew out.

He frowned slightly: "This is... the Six Paths Ninja Tool of Kumogakure, the Golden Rope, which can make the person hit utter their own 'Word of Power'!"

While Jiraiya hesitated, Orochimaru regurgitated his complete body, and with a whoosh, the Seven Star Sword in his other hand was severed, along with a curse. The curse had locked Jiraiya's most frequently used words; if Jiraiya uttered those words, he would be immediately absorbed into the 'Red Gourd' and sealed away. If he deliberately remained silent to avoid it, he would also be sealed away.

Rumble!

Orochimaru's feet transformed into snake tails, quickly creating distance between him and Jiraiya. The skin that had been shed in Jiraiya's hand instantly burned to ashes.

call out!

A single word appeared on the back of the Seven Star Sword. Orochimaru put away the Golden Rope, cradled the Red Gourd, and smiled confidently: "I know the effective range of your Amenotejikara. I won't let you get close easily."

Jiraiya slowly turned around and said in a low voice, "So, knowing that you were no match for me in terms of combat strength, you planned to play 'word games' with me from the very beginning, didn't you? My dearest friend..."

Chapter 821 Reincarnation, Former Comrades-in-Arms!

The word engraved on the back of the Seven Star Sword is 'Maple'.

During his years as an undercover agent in the Kara organization, Jiraiya and Ananda spent every day together.

Ananda, on the other hand, lives as 'Maple'.

Therefore, the word Jiraiya has called for most often over the years is 'Kaede'.

Once Jiraiya utters the word 'Maple,' the Red Gourd will absorb and seal it!

Noisy!

The toad's horizontal pupils appeared in Jiraiya's eyes, and he entered the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku!

With his knees bent, he leaped at Orochimaru with astonishing force!

Swish!

Orochimaru retreated hastily, but behind him was a mountain wall covered in ice and snow!

call out!

Jiraiya condensed a Rasengan in his hand and struck Orochimaru's face!

—The cloth knife brings death!

In that instant, Orochimaru vanished.

boom!

The Rasengan blasted into the mountainside, shaking off a large amount of ice and snow.

Jiraiya looked up and saw Orochimaru release his chakra at the soles of his feet, sticking to the high mountain wall!

"You've reached a dead end, Orochimaru..."

Jiraiya pressed his palm down.

——Immortal Technique o Earth Escape o Huangquan Marsh!

Wow!

Suddenly, the Yellow Springs Swamp appeared on the mountain wall beneath Orochimaru's feet, and a muddy demon hand emerged from it, grabbing his ankle and pulling him inward!

Jiraiya said, "Orochimaru, it's a pity. Your eye techniques have limitations, and with both hands holding ninja tools, you can't form hand seals. So, the only ones you can use are..."

"Whoa...!!"

Orochimaru opened his mouth and spat out a brand new version of himself.

The discarded snakeskin was dragged into the Swamp of the Dead, and three Six Paths Ninja Tools fell at Jiraiya's feet.

Jiraiya bent down to pick up the Seven Star Sword. Upon seeing the words on the back, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "I see."

The absorbed spiritual energy was released from the red gourd and swallowed back into its mouth, causing the text on the Seven Star Sword to disappear.

"..." Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, wrapped the Hōkin Rope around his right arm, and then... extended his palm, aiming it at Orochimaru in the distance.

—The Heavenly Guidance of All Things!

call out!

The powerful gravity pulled Orochimaru forward!

Jiraiya stepped forward and raised his fist: "Since you want to play word games, I'll play along to the end, but this time I'll be the one in charge!!"

Boom!

Jiraiya's fist rippled Orochimaru's handsome face, creating wave-like wrinkles.

"Uh ah ah ah..." Orochimaru opened his mouth, and the power of his words flew out.
