Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 509 should end here.

The man and the two toads were shocked and puzzled.

Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, smiled slightly. His Sage Mode was even more perfect; he had simply left black magic markings on his face to avoid any unnecessary associations.

"Again!"

Li Yao's Lightning Release Clone - White Fang arrived in an instant, its speed even faster than before, and this time Jiraiya had no way to dodge it.

bump!

Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, kicked out, and Jiraiya blocked with both hands, but the terrifying force sent him flying instantly.

"Wind Release..."

"Fire Release..."

"Random hairpins..."

While not as strong or fast as Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, his reaction speed was not slow. With the assistance of two toads, the combined strength of the two toads and the one person was enough to keep them locked in a stalemate with Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, who was holding back.

Although he was the one being brutally beaten, Jiraiya was able to withstand the physical and regenerative abilities granted by Sage Mode.

However, it's impossible for him to catch up with Tsunade and save the Third Hokage.

Jiraiya was lucky to survive Lee Yo's Lightning Release clone, White Fang's attack.

"hateful!"

"Too fast, there's no way I can hit it!"

During the battle, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, moved with incredible speed, leaving Jiraiya only able to parry.

His attacks couldn't even reach Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, which made Jiraiya very anxious.

Because Tsunade had already gone far away, he could no longer sense her chakra.

And time is running out.

Once Tsunade meets with the people from the four hidden villages, especially the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, he will have no hope of rescuing his teacher under the protection of those two monsters.

Previously, when the four Kage were mobilized, Jiraiya went to the Iwagakure battlefield to provide support and faced the Tsuchikage. The Tsuchikage's terrifying physical defense ninjutsu was the nemesis of his Sage Mode. All his Sage Techniques were useless in the face of that kind of physical defense ninjutsu.

On the contrary, the opponent's attack was many times more terrifying than Tsunade's monstrous fist.

Each punch was powerful enough to split mountains and seas; even his immortal body couldn't withstand a single blow.

The Fourth Tsuchikage, who possesses such terrifying defense and power, is surprisingly no slower than him in Sage Mode.

The two toad masters said that the Fourth Tsuchikage's physical defense ninjutsu was also a bloodline limit earth-style ninjutsu.

How come single-attribute escape techniques at the Bloodline Elimination level are so easy now?

The information Orochimaru sent him also mentioned that the Fourth Kazekage's Wind Release slash was a Wind Release ninjutsu that had reached the level of Kekkei Tota.

In the battle between Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage, his Wood Release: Wood Human Technique was instantly cut in half, and he couldn't stop it at all.

The key is that this terrifying and abnormal wind-style attack is not only fast, but it can also maintain its power even when launched from a distance of several kilometers.

Furthermore, the Fourth Kazekage could fly in the air.

Facing an enemy like the Fourth Kazekage who uses slashing attacks, Jiraiya, who cannot fly, can only passively take hits and might even die if he is not careful.

Trying to rescue the teacher from such powerful individuals is already despair-inducing enough, but to make matters worse, there are more than just one or two such powerful individuals.

Zuo Yun-jun, who is now rubbing himself in the ground, is also this kind of strong person.

For a moment, even Jiraiya felt a sense of despair.

This time is different from the time he faced the Fourth Tsuchikage, when there was someone to restrain him. Now he is on his own, and if he wants to escape, he can only rely on the reverse summoning beasts at Mount Myōboku to bring him back.

"Use illusion magic!"

Gamashima suggested this while Jiraiya was being sent flying again.

Physical techniques are ineffective, and ninjutsu is no match for them either, so they can only resort to genjutsu.

The illusion techniques passed down from Mount Myōboku are still very powerful.

"But Jiraiya alone can't withstand that man's attack at all," Fukasaku added. The illusions of Mount Myōboku are powerful, but the fact that they require time to prepare is a drawback, and they can't help Jiraiya fight the enemy during that time.

Given the strength that man on the other side is currently displaying, Jiraiya wouldn't be able to stop him at all without them.

"..."

Jiraiya remained silent. He wanted to say that he could hold out for the time the two adults used illusions, but the reality was that without their help and restraint, he would be defeated by Sagumo-kun in a few rounds.

"Alright, we've had enough fun, it's time to wrap this up."

Before Jiraiya and the others could make a decision, Lee Yo's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, made his decision first.

Sensing that Tsunade and the others had gone far away, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, decided to no longer hold back.

With a thought, gray, desolate lightning suddenly exploded from his body, instantly covering an area of ​​two kilometers.

This large-scale attack is completely different from what has happened before.

Jiraiya and the two toads never expected that Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, could unleash such a massive Sage Art: Lightning of Destruction in an instant.

In an instant, the man and the two toads had no time to release their Wind Escape Technique to defend themselves before being struck by the gray, destructive lightning.

Even though they instinctively unleashed natural energy to protect their bodies, Li Yao's lightning clone, White Fang, continued to attack with his immortal technique, the Lightning of Destruction.

The man and the two toads didn't last long.

Five seconds later, the defenses of the man and the two toads were broken, most of their cells were destroyed, and they instantly fainted.

Then Li Yao's lightning clone, White Fang, stopped.

He instantly appeared in front of Jiraiya.

Bang bang bang!

Before Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, could sense Jiraiya's condition, Mount Myōboku seemed to have sensed the situation of Jiraiya and the two toads, and summoned them back.

"Looks like he won't die!"

Seeing this, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, smiled, unconcerned, and turned to chase after Tsunade and the others.

The reason Li Yao didn't kill Jiraiya wasn't for Tsunade's sake, but because Jiraiya was a key figure connected to the Child of Destiny, someone he might need in the future, so he didn't kill him.

If we don't need him in the future, it's not too late to kill him when we offend him later.

Li Yao is that confident now, even when facing someone of Jiraiya's caliber.

After all, his opponent was the Sage of Six Paths, a member of the Otsutsuki clan, who was no longer one of the ninja world's people.

In this world that values ​​bloodlines.

Those who are not of the Otsutsuki clan bloodline are not worth mentioning.

Even the two main characters, Naruto and Sasuke, are the same.

After half an hour.

The Lightning Release clone, White Fang, deliberately slowed down as it approached Tsunade and her group.

"Brother Zuoyun!"

Tsunade, who was initially worried about Lightning Release Clone - White Fang, felt relieved upon seeing its return.

The group of ANBU ninjas stopped and looked at the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, who had returned safely, with a hint of respect in their eyes.

To be able to escape unscathed from Jiraiya in Sage Mode, and it seems he even managed to stop Jiraiya before escaping unscathed, shows how powerful Lord Sagumo truly is.

"It'll be here so soon!!"

"Even Jiraiya in Sage Mode is no match for him?!"

The Third Hokage was slightly startled. He knew that Hatake Sagumo was powerful, especially his legendary Lightning of Destruction, which was said to kill anyone who touched it. It was so powerful that even Sasori of the Red Sand and Orochimaru dared not touch it.

However, he also understood the power of Sage Mode.

It's not just about comprehensively improving ninjutsu; natural energy also has a powerful restraining effect on ninjutsu.

The Third Hokage originally thought that Hatake Sagumo would at most stop Jiraiya and buy time, giving Tsunade enough time to hand him over to the people of the four great hidden villages.

Unexpectedly, Hatake Sakumo returned alone in just over half an hour, and Jiraiya did not chase after him.

This suggests that the battle between Hatake Sagumo and Jiraiya lasted at most about ten minutes before Jiraiya was defeated, or even... possibly killed.
