Swoosh! The sound of intense air friction echoed.
Jiraiya swiftly moved behind Naruto, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him backward. At the same time, he formed a Rasengan in his other hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Rasengan!"
The blue, high-speed rotating chakra ball appeared in his palm.
Jiraiya's eyes sharpened, and he pushed the Rasengan forward without hesitation.
Gensou did not retreat either.
In the next second, the two identical Rasengan collided.
Boom~~~ A dazzling blue light erupted.
Intense friction and collisions exploded continuously.
Gensou and Jiraiya's figures sank instantly, a massive crater forming beneath them.
Their black and white hair, respectively, were blown wildly backward as if hit by a storm.
Dust flew, stones scattered.
In the midst of the standoff, violent gusts of wind carried blue chakra strands, spreading out like a giant fan from the center of their clash.
One second, two seconds... Finally!
After one last intense friction, Gensou and Jiraiya exchanged a look.
Then,
Boom!
With a massive recoil, both flew backward at high speed, their Rasengan dissolving into blue sparks.
The sound of ninja sandals dragging on the ground echoed for a few seconds.
Jiraiya pulled his foot from the ground, looking at Gensou doing the same a short distance away, his expression growing more serious.
"Pervy Sage! Pervy Sage!"
Naruto ran over, pointing at Gensou in confusion,
"Pervy Sage, how can that guy use the Rasengan too?" "Rasengan..."
Jiraiya, snapped out of his thoughts, shook his head,
"I don't know. But seeing it on him, after the initial surprise, it feels almost normal."
"You need to understand, he is a man who stood shoulder to shoulder with gods. Any jutsu in his hands would not be surprising."
As a direct disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya had the means and interest to learn about historical figures.
Among them, Gensou, who developed numerous Kekkei Genkai and could perform any jutsu with astonishing talent, was someone he had studied.
Seeing it firsthand, Gensou indeed lived up to his reputation.
"Shoulder to shoulder with gods? What's that supposed to mean? Why isn't it surprising?" Naruto scratched his head, still not understanding Jiraiya's explanation.
But there was no time for Jiraiya to elaborate.
Gensou, having recovered, heard their conversation and smirked, "Rasengan? Just an A-rank jutsu. If this surprises you, let me show you its advanced version."
The Rasengan, like the Chidori, was a jutsu Gensou had figured out during the Warring States period, even further developing it.
He rarely demonstrated it publicly because he already had other powerful jutsu and Kekkei Genkai.
Unlike the Chidori's charging boost, with many options and few opponents forcing him to use his full strength, he seldom showcased it.
The few times he used it, the targets were already dead.
The only potential exposure was the Battle of the Valley of the End.
But against Hashirama's thousands of giant Buddha arms, the Rasengan's impact was
negligible.
Now, with the future master of the Rasengan right here, it was a good time to display another use of the jutsu.
With a mischievous smile, Gensou opened his right hand again.
"One more time, will you hand over the Spirit Transformation Technique?"
No response.
"Alright."
The highly compressed blue chakra ball formed in Gensou's palm.
Jiraiya expected Gensou to attack with the Rasengan again and prepared to counter. Suddenly, Jiraiya's pupils contracted as he noticed a new change in Gensou's Rasengan. "This kind of nature and shape transformation... he has developed the Rasengan to this extent!"
Sizzle~~~ Under Jiraiya's astonished gaze, the Rasengan in Gensou's hand transformed into a giant spinning shuriken made of countless tiny chakra blades after wind chakra was infused. This was the advanced version of the Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
In that instant, while Naruto exclaimed, "What is that?", Jiraiya felt a serious threat from Gensou's familiar yet strange jutsu.
Crack, crack. Gensou looked at his right arm, which was cracking under the strain of holding the Rasenshuriken.
"As expected, a regular body can't withstand the Rasenshuriken's backlash."
This was why Gensou rarely used the Rasenshuriken before.
Even someone as resilient as Naruto nearly lost the use of his right hand after using it the first
time.
Anyone else would have their arm completely destroyed.
Gensou's Edo Tensei body was also reaching its limit.
So, it was time to throw it.
Gensou focused on Jiraiya and Naruto.
"Watch closely and learn."
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Gensou swung his right arm.
In the next second, his right arm shattered completely.
Carrying a terrifying aura, the Rasenshuriken, moving at lightning speed, flew towards Jiraiya
and Naruto with a piercing sound as it tore through the air.
"Watch out!"
Shizune, still healing herself, couldn't help but shout a warning.
Jiraiya, with an unprecedentedly serious expression, stood protectively in front of Naruto,
biting his finger and slamming it onto the ground: "Summoning Jutsu!"
Boom! A huge cloud of white smoke erupted.
Before anyone could see what was inside, the rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken had already
entered the smoke.
It felt as if time had stopped.
After a moment of silence, a blinding white light burst from within, dispersing the smoke and
shooting into the sky.
Immediately after, a massive explosion, loud enough to be heard by Tsunade, echoed.
"What happened over there?"
Tsunade, having just punched Kabuto away, couldn't help but turn and look towards the
explosion.
Orochimaru, also watching, narrowed his eyes as if he realized something and quickly
signaled Kabuto.
Kabuto understood.
As Tsunade prepared to attack again, he pulled out a kunai and slashed his palm without
hesitation.
Blood spurted like a fountain.
The sight of blood made Tsunade freeze, trembling all over, her face pale: "Blood..."
