"Hua!!"
"Ah!! That's...!"
On the stands and in the audience, people widened their eyes, astonished, and looked in awe at the center of the field!
Even the Third Hokage on the high platform couldn't help but make a soft sound.
His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Jiraiya.
Has he already mastered the Kuchiyose no Jutsu, this type of ninjutsu, without us realizing it...? Jiraiya, this child, has grown to this extent...
Meanwhile, in the examinee area!
The crowd of examinees also looked in astonishment towards the center of the field!
Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing. She looked at Jiraiya on the field, feeling shocked at the growth of this companion who had always been by her side!
Next to her, Orochimaru's expression was slightly solemn.
Jiraiya... Have you already grown to this extent...
Sosuke, with a smile on his face, looked at Jiraiya on the field, and a gleam of light flashed under his glasses as he murmured softly.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu... I'm seeing it for the first time... A mysterious ninjutsu..."
Beside him, Dai was excited and shouted loudly!
"As expected of Jiraiya-kun! He can even summon such a giant toad!"
In the middle of the battlefield.
The white smoke had already dispersed!
A giant toad, holding a U-shaped fork, squatting in the spot where the Grass ninja had been before, stood tall and big!
Jiraiya on the field was excitedly enjoying the astonished gazes of the people outside the field!
Well... This kind of admiration from thousands of people belongs to this great Jiraiya-sama after all... It's such an intoxicating feeling~
At this moment, Tsunade was probably admiring me as well, right? Haha... What kind of pose should I strike?
Just as Jiraiya was immersed in his self-admiration!
A loud voice interrupted him!
"Hey! Jiraiya! Don't get distracted! The guy you have to deal with doesn't seem to be finished yet!"
Hearing this voice, Jiraiya was somewhat surprised!
He looked carefully at the giant figure!
"Eh!! Gamaken!? Why are you here!? Shouldn't it be Gama-tatsu!?"
Jiraiya shouted in astonishment!
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Gamaken, with a heavy voice, said foolishly.
"Brother knows that you are participating in the Chunin Exams, and it said that it didn't want to be summoned by you at this time. It seems to say that it's embarrassing to be with you..."
Hearing Gamaken's words, Jiraiya felt like he had been struck by ten thousand arrows. His previously excited expression was suddenly doused with cold water!
Embarrassing... Embarrassing... Embarrassing...
But Gamaken continued in a self-reliant manner.
"But Brother is right. Jiraiya, you can't even deal with such an opponent. It's really embarrassing for the Toad Clan..."
Its words dealt another ten thousand points of damage to Jiraiya!
Embarrassing... Embarrassing... Embarrassing...
Jiraiya shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the self-deprecating thoughts! He looked seriously at Gamaken and said,
"Anyway! Help me take care of this guy in front of me first! He's a very formidable opponent!"
To this, Gamaken muttered helplessly.
"Sigh, I knew it would be like this. If Brother didn't urge me to come, I wouldn't have come! Just now, someone called me a frog over there... Are all the people from Konoha this stupid? They can't even tell the difference between a frog and a toad!"
Hearing Gamaken's complaints, Jiraiya could only quickly comfort him.
"It's alright, it's alright! In the future, I'll properly distinguish the noble Toad Clan from frogs in my books! For now, let's quickly figure out how to fight together!"
Although in his heart, Jiraiya couldn't help but sneer.
"Are frogs and toads not the same thing!! Really! That guy has complained about this many times!"
"Is that so?! Then you must keep your promise! Alright, let's fight now!"
Gamaken was delighted after hearing this and said in a muffled voice.
On the other side!
The Grass ninja, panting heavily, looked pale and stared at the frog ninja combination in front of him.
Almost... almost! If I had released the jutsu a little later, I wouldn't have just been injured!
Damn it! Are all the brats from Konoha this strong!
And at this moment!
Jiraiya and Gamaken were ready for battle!
Jiraiya jumped up and landed smoothly on Gamaken's head!
"Jiraiya! I'm ready! I'm going to attack now!"
Gamaken mumbled.
Then, its thick hind legs pushed against the ground!
"Bang!"
Its massive body shot off like a missile!
Jiraiya, on top of Gamaken's head, squinted his eyes, focusing his chakra on his feet to stick to the frog's head!
His white hair swayed wildly in the wind!
On the opposite side, the Grass ninja saw this scene and his pupils shrank. His face turned pale, and he felt like his liver and gall were split!
"Such... such a huge frog!"
Gamaken, still in mid-air, heard this and angrily retorted!
"Frog! I'm a Toad! Not a frog! This guy who disrespects the Toad Clan should be given a good lesson!"
Then, Gamaken carried Jiraiya on his back and landed forcefully! The U-shaped fork in his hand smashed towards the ground!
"Mogura Tobira (Mole Missile)!"
"Bang!" A slight tremor swept across the entire arena!
Everyone on the spectator stands looked at Jiraiya and Gamaken on the battlefield in shock!
Silence filled the air!
On the field.
The young Grass ninja once again used a secret technique to avoid this attack!
But he was covered in sweat and looked like a dehydrated fish!
Bending his waist, he breathed heavily!
No... I'll die... if this continues, I'll definitely die!
"What! This insignificant brat actually managed to dodge it!"
Gamaken saw that the Grass ninja was no longer on the ground and immediately turned around.
Then it mumbled, "Jiraiya! Get ready to use Fire Style to cooperate with me!"
With that, it carried Jiraiya again and leaped into the air!
"Thump!"
The powerful jump from its hind legs sent its massive body soaring into the sky!
Everyone on the spectator stands looked up in astonishment!
When they saw Gamaken descending towards the ground, he opened his mouth wide!
"Mogura Abura Tome (Mole Oil Spurt)!"
From its mouth, a huge jet of dark oil-like substance spewed out!
"Jiraiya!" it then yelled.
"I got it! Watch this! Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Jiraiya, standing on Gamaken's head, quickly formed hand seals!
When the scorching Great Fireball collided with the oil-like substance, it exploded violently in mid-air, scattering in all directions towards the vast arena!
"Gamaden Furen Ranbu (Frog Flame Dance)!"
Faced with this ninjutsu, which fell from the sky like heavenly fire, there was no place to hide in the entire arena!
The Grass ninja's face turned as white as a sheet, and he had already given up resistance!
"I surrender! I surrender!"
He hastily raised his hand and shouted loudly!
Hearing this, Jiraiya on top of Gamaken couldn't help but sigh.
Shit! I went too far with my attack!
However, at this moment!
The mixture of black oil and flames falling from the sky was unstoppable!
"Whoosh!"
A figure moved!
A hand suddenly grabbed the motionless Grass ninja and disappeared in an instant!
At this moment!
Just as the mixed flames and oil were about to hit the ground!
A new, upright figure suddenly appeared in the arena!
With a soft whisper.
Sosuke stood on the battlefield!
Even in the face of the swirling flames, he was completely unafraid. He raised his slender hand and a smile appeared on his lips as he softly spoke.
"Bakudō #81. Dankū!"
"Whoosh!" A transparent curtain suddenly formed in the sky above the battlefield, standing tall in mid-air!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
The flames mixed with black oil fiercely impacted the curtain, creating intense booming sounds!
Shaking the hearts of everyone present!
At this moment, with an upright posture, Sosuke seemed to have done something insignificant. He looked at Jiraiya with a smile and spoke softly.
"Jiraiya, if the battlefield is destroyed, it will affect the next match."
Gamaken then landed on the ground, and his massive body contrasted vividly with Sosuke's upright stance.
