"Mr. Gamaken!" shouted Jiraiya, raising his hand towards Gamaken's now halved body.
"Gamaken! Damn it!" shouted Gamabunta.
"Gamaken!" Fukasaku and Shima closed their eyes upon seeing Gamaken's body.
"I told you that if you stand in the way of my revenge, this will be the end," said Jiryoku.
"Don't you understand what true peace is? Just for the sake of your revenge, you have killed so many people today, causing them more pain than you can imagine," Jiraiya said.
"You might be right; maybe the pain they felt is greater than mine. I was only one year old when my father died. You know, my foolish father, who didn't even know how to pacify a child, used to show hand signs of ninjutsu and teach his son, who was just a few months old, ninjutsu verbally. The happiness and satisfaction I used to see on his face were adorable and cute. And then, you see his lifeless body with cut marks. It's like a curse that came with my photographic memory; I never forget things," explained Jiryoku.
"Jiraiya, Konoha hasn't given me anything except a few friends. Even with them, I maintained a distance because I knew a day like today would come. I warn you, Jiraiya, that if I can't kill those two pieces of garbage today because of you and these toads, then there will be one less holy place in this world," said Jiryoku, gripping his sword tightly.
Jiraiya's face was solemn, as he couldn't figure out a way to defeat Jiryoku; he was completely out of options right now.
"Fukasaku-Sama, what do you think we should do now?" asked Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, boy, fight with him in close quarters. I will launch a surprise attack on him," said Fukasaku.
"Are you going to use that attack?" asked Jiraiya in confusion.
"Yes, only that attack can surprise him in the fight and give us an opportunity to win," said Fukasaku.
"A person who has achieved nothing in his whole life, just chasing after peace and living in a dream bubble of your own peace. How dare you teach me the real meaning of peace?" said Jiryoku, disappearing from his place. The impact of his departure created a crater, and stones and pieces of the ground were also thrown into the air.
"Jiraiya-boy, be ready to dodge his attack and leave the rest to me," said Fukasaku.
Jiraiya nodded, and based on the experience accumulated from countless battles and Barrier: Canopy Method Formation, he predicted the path of Jiryoku's attack and dodged accordingly. However, Jiryoku possesses 'Observation Haki,' so how could Jiraiya escape from Jiryoku's attack? Just as he was nearing Jiraiya, an invisible force suddenly struck him – it was an attack made by Fukasaku. Fukasaku used Frog Kata to attack Jiryoku, and since this attack is impossible to see and sense, Jiryoku wasn't able to react.
Jiryoku's speed was incredibly fast, and Fukasaku's attack acted like a speed bump, making him very unstable. He crashed into several buildings, destroying many houses. Fukasaku's attack wasn't potent enough to harm Jiryoku directly, but the destruction was a result of his own speed. Fukasaku had utilized Jiryoku's speed against him.
Suddenly, debris from the house where Jiryoku had fallen began to rise, revealing Jiryoku as he emerged. "I had heard that with age comes knowledge and shrewdness. And today, I was able to witness this firsthand. Your calculations prove that you haven't been idle for the past 800 years," said Jiryoku, wiping red blood from his mouth.
"Haha, it's amusing. You know, I've only been injured twice in my entire life. The first time was when I injured myself, and the second was today, at the hands of some small toad who means nothing to me," said Jiryoku as he walked toward Jiraiya. Rubble rose around him, creating a sphere above him.
"Ma, we have to use that," Fukasaku said to Shima.
"No, I dislike using that move. My throat gets sore after using it," Shima replied, clearly against Fukasaku's idea.
"What are you both talking about?" asked Jiraiya in confusion.
"We can use a genjutsu called 'Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.' It's a sound-based genjutsu that can be effective against Jiryoku. However, we need time to prepare it, and considering how he knows so much about you, us toads, it's very possible that he knows about this technique as well. So, it's clear that he will likely attack us and prevent us from completing it," explained Fukasaku.
"You're right, but it's not like I don't know how to run, especially in the village where I grew up as a child. You just get prepared," said Jiraiya. He then used the 'Barrier: Canopy Method Formation' to its full potential, covering an area of almost 100 meters in radius, and positioned himself on all fours like a toad.
As Jiraiya began to prepare, Fukasaku and Shima started singing in unison, attempting to synchronize their voices for the Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.
Jiryoku's expression changed as soon as he heard this voice. He knew that Fukasaku and Shima were about to use the 'Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant.' He immediately moved to attack Jiraiya, but Jiraiya swiftly evaded and didn't stop running. Seeing Jiraiya in motion, Gamabunta also utilized his sword to obstruct Jiryoku's path, assisting Jiraiya.
Jiryoku manipulated the large sphere made from the rubble of the shattered houses, which was hovering above his head. He hurled it forcefully at Gamabunta, and upon impact, Gamabunta was flung several meters away, causing destruction along its path.
Following that, Jiryoku continued his pursuit of Jiraiya. As Jiraiya had lived in Konoha and remembered every nook and cranny of the village, he used various routes. Jiryoku, on the other hand, had never wandered through Konoha for such purposes, considering it unnecessary and a waste of time.
At times, Jiraiya utilized the sewer lines of Konoha, while at others, he ran on the surface. Throughout, he avoided running in a straight line, opting for a zigzag pattern without any predictable path.
Other ninjas who had retreated also witnessed this chase. Although both Jiryoku and Jiraiya appeared as blurs to them, they were able to discern that it was Jiraiya who was running and Jiryoku who was in pursuit.
"Was that Jiryoku?" Ino asked, glancing at Shikamaru.
"Seemed like it, but I can't be certain," Shikamaru replied, scratching his head.
"Let's go and see," Ino suggested, running in the direction of the commotion.
"What a drag," sighed Shikamaru, following Ino.
Soon, Jiraiya came to a stop, and Jiryoku, who had closed in on him, also halted, raising his sword. Strangely, Jiryoku stood there blankly.
