Chapter 508 The Toad's Shock

"Danger!"

"That gray lightning is dangerous!"

Fifty meters away, on Jiraiya's shoulder, Gamashima stared intently at the man emerging from the white smoke, the gray lightning he had just witnessed giving him a strong sense of danger.

That thing absolutely cannot be taken head-on; otherwise, even Jiraiya in Sage Mode wouldn't be able to withstand that kind of attack.

"And his speed was so fast that even Jiraiya in his current state almost couldn't react!"

Compared to the terrifying gray lightning, Fukasaku was more wary of the speed displayed by Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang.

This was the third time she had seen someone catch up to Jiraiya when he activated Sage Mode.

The first one was the Fourth Raikage!

The second time was the Fourth Tsuchikage!

Moreover, like the Fourth Tsuchikage, this brat named Hatake Saigumo is also quite troublesome.

That speed, combined with that strange gray lightning attack, is what makes this man so troublesome.

Jiraiya solemnly warned, "That's the Lightning of Destruction developed by Sagumo. It's a lightning release technique comparable to a bloodline limit ninjutsu, and it's very dangerous."

"Another guy who's managed to develop his lightning attribute to the level of Bloodline Elimination!"

Gamashima and Fukasaku were shocked to hear this. They had already experienced this kind of ninjutsu talent in their previous battle with the Fourth Tsuchikage, and they did not expect that there was one here as well.

Thinking of this, the two toads' expressions changed, and they asked again, "Does he have any other single-attribute escape techniques that reach the Bloodline Elimination level?"

"No." Jiraiya shook his head and said, "At least no one has ever seen Zuo Yun use any other escaping techniques that reach the bloodline limit."

"That's good then." Gamashima and Fukasaku breathed a sigh of relief.

If this man had a few more ninjutsu with a single attribute reaching the level of bloodline elimination, his ninjutsu talent would be terrifying, possibly even reaching the level of the Sage of Six Paths.

If facing a powerhouse with talent comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, this battle would be dangerous.

Even so, this battle is still not easy.

"The opponent uses Lightning Release and is very fast, so let's use a combination of Wind Release ninjutsu for a wide-range attack!" Fukasaku suggested.

"Alright." Jiraiya suddenly jumped backward to create distance, then formed hand seals.

Tear!

A flash of lightning appeared, and Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang - was not dead. Seeing Jiraiya's actions, he instantly followed, arriving twenty meters in front of Jiraiya in a flash.

At this moment, both of them were in mid-air. Jiraiya clasped his hands together, preparing to form a hand seal, but Li Yao did not need to form a hand seal. Gray lightning flashed on his body, and a gray lightning bolt shot out instantly.

"not good!"

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically. He couldn't dodge a lightning attack that didn't require hand seals. The gray, destructive lightning struck his chest instantly and spread outwards.

Fortunately, on Jiraiya's shoulder, Gamashima had already reacted and clapped his hands together. The moment the gray lightning struck Jiraiya's chest and spread out, a huge wind release condensed from Jiraiya's body spread out, neutralizing most of the gray lightning.

At the same time, Fukasaku had already formed hand seals and inhaled deeply before exhaling.

"Wind Release - Wind Pressure!"

A violent wind pressure erupted from Toad Fukasaku's mouth, transforming into a gale that instantly pushed away the approaching Li Yao Lightning Release clone - White Fang.

Tear!

Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, crackled with destructive lightning, negating the tearing force of the gale.

Unlike Sage Chakra Wind Release, Wind Release, which is condensed from pure natural energy, has a more pure power and can only be countered by energy.

"Rasengan!"

Just as Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, landed, a Sage Art: Giant Rasengan rushed towards him from above; it was Jiraiya who had arrived in Instantaneous Movement.

Knowing that Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, didn't need to form hand seals to use the Lightning of Destruction, Jiraiya instantly changed his fighting style and attacked with the Rasengan, a ninjutsu without hand seals.

Otherwise, just like before, the moment the hand seals were formed, Li Yao's lightning clone - White Fang - found an opportunity.

That destructive lightning, if not for the protection of Shima-sama's wind-style natural energy, would not have been able to be blocked by Jiraiya's Sage Body alone.

call out!

This kind of attack is something that Li Yao's lightning clone, White Fang, cannot dodge.

But... *sizzle*!

Just as he dodged, a high-pressure water jet shot out from Jiraiya's left shoulder, from the mouth of Gamashima, and intercepted the spot where Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had dodged.

boom!

Without revealing his Six Paths level strength, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, couldn't dodge this well-coordinated attack. However, he was still able to withstand the high-pressure water column formed by the natural energy by unleashing a large amount of Destruction Lightning Chakra.

With the resistance of the Destruction Lightning, the high-pressure water column was unable to cut Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang in half. Instead, it pushed Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang away like a cannonball.

Boom! A deep trench was carved into the ground along the way.

In the end, Li Yao's lightning-based clone, White Fang, landed in the ruins and rubble two hundred meters away.

This demonstrates the power of this high-pressure water jet.

call out!

Jiraiya didn't even glance at the flying Li Yao Lightning Release clone, White Fang, before instantly running towards Tsunade and her group.

At this point, Tsunade and her group had only run a little over a thousand meters.

The battle between Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, and Jiraiya lasted less than five seconds.

At Jiraiya's current speed, he could catch up with Tsunade and the others in just two or three breaths.

In just a breath, Li Yao's lightning-style clone, White Fang, who had been struck by the high-pressure water jet and flown more than 200 meters away, appeared in front of Jiraiya and delivered a sweeping kick straight to his face.

bump!

Jiraiya only had time to cross his arms to block before Lee Yo's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, kicked him at the point where his arms were crossed, the heavy force sending him flying instantly.

call out!

In mid-air, before Jiraiya could dissipate his power, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had already caught up. His right hand formed a blade, condensing destructive lightning that pierced straight at Jiraiya's head like a lightning blade.

"Ninja Technique - Crazy Hair Thousand Blades!"

In the moment of crisis, Jiraiya reacted quickly, directly manipulating his hair to condense into blades and stab at the head and chest of his Lightning Release clone, White Fang.

At the same time, Gamashima and Fukasaku, who had reacted, used Wind Release: Wind Pressure and Water Release: High-Pressure Water Column respectively to attack Lee Yo's Lightning Release clone - White Fang.

Faced with the tacit cooperation of one person and two toads, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang, who concealed his strength and was not practical for large-scale destruction of lightning, had no choice but to wave his hand and cut off the hair, wind pressure and water column that were attacking him.

Tatata!

Taking advantage of that moment, Jiraiya landed and used several Body Flicker Techniques to close the distance between himself and Lee Yo's Lightning Release clone, White Fang.

"That's magic!!!"

"impossible?"

"How does he know magic?"

Jiraiya and the two toads, having closed the distance, stared in shock at Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, in the distance.

At this moment, the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had black patterns resembling Peking Opera masks emanating from his eyes and covering his entire face. His aura was a level stronger than before.

Especially just now, whether it was the wildly unleashed blades empowered by Jiraiya's Sage Art chakra or the Wind Release and Water Release techniques condensed from the natural energy of the two toads, they were all easily severed by the Sage Art: Lightning of Ruin in the hands of Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang.

Jiraiya and the two toads were very familiar with that kind of Sage Chakra; they wouldn't mistake it.

But... how is that possible?

Immortal arts can only be learned in the three sacred sites of the three great spirit beasts.

At this moment, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone - White Fang's Sage Mode was not the Sage Mode of the three great holy lands, but it was even more perfect than Jiraiya's Sage Mode, just like the Sage Mode of Hashirama Senju.

Where did the other party learn Sage Mode from?
