Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra-Chapter 179: A Display of Divine Might
Chapter 179 - 179: A Display of Divine Might
The overwhelming power of Sage Art: Goemon left the shinobi of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind in shock and fear. Nearly a hundred shinobi from the Land of Earth were wiped out in an instant, including three jōnin. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Kill them all."
Jiraiya issued the command coldly.
The Konoha shinobi, following their pre-established battle plan, charged toward their enemies from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. Meanwhile, Jiraiya targeted Kuroiwa, the strongest shinobi among them and the personal bodyguard of the projection.
Kuroiwa quickly formed hand seals, causing the earth around him to surge like a tidal wave, crashing toward Jiraiya.
"Wind Release: Whirlwind!"
Shima unleashed a powerful gust of wind, sweeping the airborne earth high into the sky. With the aid of the two elder toad sages, Jiraiya had no need to worry about such attacks—his sole focus was on offense.
Jiraiya closed in on Kuroiwa, his Lightning Flame Blade slicing downward. Flames roared, and lightning crackled as his blade descended.
"Earth Release: Iron Wall!"
Kuroiwa channeled a massive amount of earth-nature chakra into the ground, erecting a black, obsidian-like barrier in an instant.
The Lightning Flame Blade cleaved through the barrier with ease, sending bolts of lightning surging forward. At the same time, Fukasaku completed his hand seals, launching a blazing fire release jutsu from his mouth, the flames streaking toward Kuroiwa.
"Agh!"
A scream echoed through the battlefield as lightning and fire struck Kuroiwa simultaneously. His black armor was instantly shattered, and he coughed up blood as his body was hurled backward. If not for his armor absorbing most of the impact, he would have perished on the spot.
Now, with Jiraiya in Sage Mode and the two great toad sages assisting him, his power had reached the level of a Kage. Elite jōnin were no longer a match for him; cutting them down was as effortless as slaughtering cattle.
Only Kage-level opponents, those with powerful bloodline limits, or jinchūriki could pose a threat to him now.
Kuroiwa collapsed, blood gushing from his mouth. His organs had already suffered internal injuries, and now he was critically wounded.
"Sage Art: Blazing Rasengan!"
Before Kuroiwa could react, Jiraiya leaped into the air, a massive Rasengan engulfed in flames forming in his palm before he slammed it down upon his enemy.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently as the Rasengan struck, leaving behind a deep, charred crater. When the dust settled, all that remained of Kuroiwa was ash and debris. Jiraiya swiftly took out a Soul-Sealing Bottle and captured his soul.
"Jiraiya-sama is incredible! He defeated an elite jōnin in mere moments!"
"Jiraiya-sama is unbelievably strong. He's still so young, yet he already has Kage-level power. Konoha hasn't seen such a genius in a hundred years!"
"With Jiraiya-sama leading us, the shinobi of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are just asking for death by challenging us!"
Jiraiya's instant victory sent Konoha's forces into an uproar, their morale soaring as they launched even fiercer assaults on their enemies.
"This level of talent is terrifying... To already possess Kage-level strength at this age... Since the village's founding, only the First Hokage achieved such a feat. Aside from him, no one else in history can compare to Jiraiya."
Uchiha Raiden was thoroughly convinced of Jiraiya's power now. Though he was formidable among elite jōnin, taking down one of his peers still required significant effort. Yet Jiraiya had done it with ease.
"Unbelievable... The next Hokage is undoubtedly Jiraiya," Hyūga Tetsuki murmured in admiration. Possessing such strength at his age, it was only natural that he would lead the village one day.
"This isn't real... Lord Kuroiwa was just killed like that? Am I trapped in a genjutsu?"
"We must be under an Uchiha illusion! There's no way Lord Kuroiwa could have been defeated so quickly!"
"This has to be fake—definitely a genjutsu!"
...
The shinobi of the Land of Earth were in disbelief. Jiraiya's swift elimination of Kuroiwa left them utterly shaken, but no matter how much they refused to accept it, reality remained unchanged.
After dealing with Kuroiwa, Jiraiya turned to another elite jōnin. Forming rapid hand seals, he unleashed a powerful combination of earth and fire-nature chakra. Molten rock surged forth, engulfing his target.
This seamless fusion of chakra natures pushed the technique's destructive power to S-rank.
"Sage Art: Wind Release Dust Cloud!"
Shima cast a dense cloud of dust and debris, shrouding the battlefield and limiting enemy visibility.
She knew that Jiraiya's sensory abilities were exceptional, making this technique a severe hindrance to their enemies while leaving them unaffected.
Fukasaku spewed forth a stream of intense flames, merging with Jiraiya's molten attack.
The fire exploded violently, raising the temperature to extreme levels. The very air seemed to distort from the heat.
"Agh! Agh! Agh!"
Cries of agony filled the battlefield. Some chūnin from the Land of Earth, unable to withstand the searing heat, were caught in the blast. Their bodies ignited like torches, burning to ashes in seconds.
As for the elite jōnin who had been targeted, he frantically used Earth Release to counter the attack. But his barriers were instantly consumed by the molten wave, unable to stop its advance.
Desperation filled the jōnin's eyes. He was completely overpowered—there was no way to withstand an attack of this magnitude.
"Retreat! Everyone, fall back! Escape however you can!"
Before the lava swallowed him, he let out a desperate cry.
With Jiraiya's overwhelming strength, there was no one left to hold him back. Their side was doomed.
His words barely left his lips before the molten surge engulfed him, incinerating his body in an instant. Once again, Jiraiya retrieved his Soul Vessel and absorbed his spirit.
The remaining shinobi from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind were paralyzed with fear. Seeing Jiraiya slaughter two elite jōnin so effortlessly, even the strongest among them turned to flee.
"You think you can run? Not so fast! Stay and dance for me!"
Jiraiya, filled with battle spirit, fixed his gaze on the retreating enemy and let out a chilling command.
