Uchiha's personal opinion

"The symbol of the Uchiha clan!"

The two sages on Jiraiya's shoulders spoke respectively.

"Uchiha Homura's Fan!"

"Are you prepared?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu grinned maliciously and unleashed the Two-Tails, Yotsuba, as he charged forward!

Chapter 372 Nothing More Than Death

During the Akatsuki purge, Uchiha Tokumitsu once used his Susanoo to kill Ichikishima-hime, one of the three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave. Now, after absorbing her Sage Mode essence, his strength has increased again, so he naturally doesn't take Jiraiya and the two Sages of Mount Myōboku who joined forces with him seriously.

However, strategic disregard does not equate to tactical ease.

He didn't know if Orochimaru and Yagura could defeat Tazatsuhime, so he couldn't afford to linger with Jiraiya for too long. He had to go all out and finish the battle quickly, then join forces to kill Tazatsuhime and solidify their victory.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu first puffed out his cheeks and spewed a sea of ​​fire at Jiraiya and his comrades, then waved his flame fan to create a gust of wind that swept towards the sea of ​​fire.

"Pong!"

Driven by the divine artifact Flame Fan, the fire borrowed the power of the wind, and the wind fueled the fire, making the already overwhelming sea of ​​fire even more magnificent!

"Sage Art: Water Release - Great Exploding Water Wave!"

Faced with such a raging sea of ​​sage fire, Jiraiya's expression immediately changed. He didn't have time to use any of the secret sage techniques of Mount Myōboku, so he quickly extracted sage chakra and spewed out a giant wave that swept towards the sea of ​​fire, trying to suppress Uchiha Tokumitsu's sage fire release with an attribute advantage.

"boom!"

Water and fire clashed, chakra was extinguished, followed by a violent explosion, and then scorching water mist quickly spread out.

Unexpectedly, even with the Water Release technique which was advantageous to Jiraiya, his Sage Art: Giant Wave was still burned dry by Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sage Art: Sea of ​​Fire. Although the remaining flames were greatly weakened, they still rushed towards Jiraiya.

"not good!"

Jiraiya's expression changed, and with the help of the two sages on his shoulders, he used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly leap backward.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

The magical fire spell missed its target and then began to bombard the area.

As sparks flew, Uchiha Tokumitsu used the Shadow Clone Technique to create four shadow clones, which then leaped off in four directions.

"This is……"

Jiraiya and the two sages also noticed Uchiha Tokumitsu's shadow clones.

However, he couldn't care less about anything else at that moment, because Uchiha Tokumitsu had already charged over in his Susanoo form with the Two-Tails.

"Immortal Technique: Frog Knock!"

Jiraiya and the two sages on his shoulders swung their arms in unison, and under the influence of Sage Chakra, six thickened and lengthened giant arms swung down at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Uchiha Style: Sun Halo Dance!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu brandished his Flame Fan, unleashing the Uchiha-style swordsmanship techniques. With the help of the Two-Tails Matatabi, he unleashed waves of flames that surged toward Jiraiya!

"Fire Rat Jade!"

Although the Two-Tails Matatabi was covered in armor formed from Susanoo, it still managed to take a break and spew out fist-sized, rat-shaped fireballs at Jiraiya's lower body.

Although the punches and palms imbued with Sage Chakra were powerful and heavy, Uchiha Tokumitsu's Flame Fan lived up to its name as a divine weapon, engaging in close combat with one man and two frogs.

After a brief exchange of taijutsu, Jiraiya was quickly overwhelmed by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's taijutsu wasn't particularly strong, it was certainly not bad either; in particular, the defensive power of his Susanoo exceeded Jiraiya's expectations.

The armored Susanoo, a mixture of tailed beast chakra and sage chakra, was completely beyond his ability to withstand. As a result, no matter how fierce Jiraiya's Myōboku Frog Knock was, Uchiha Tokumitsu was able to withstand it with his Susanoo.

But just because Uchiha Tokumitsu could withstand it doesn't mean Jiraiya could.

Even though Jiraiya's fists and palms kept striking the armor formed by Susanoo, his attacks were like scraping a scalp, and Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't take them seriously at all; on the contrary, Jiraiya had to keep dodging Uchiha Tokumitsu's close-range ninjutsu using the Flame Fan.

Although Jiraiya had two sages on his shoulders forming a team, he also had the Two-Tails Matatabi under Uchiha Tokumitsu providing support, which quickly put Jiraiya at a disadvantage.

"That scoundrel..."

Jiraiya's heart sank to the bottom.

Even though he was determined to die, Jiraiya was still filled with resentment at being so easily and completely suppressed.

Why!

Why should this happen?!

He has two hermits from Mount Myōboku helping him in battle!

How could he be so humiliated by a mere brat from the Uchiha clan!

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

Just as Jiraiya was entangled with Uchiha Tokukō, four shadow clones of Tokukō immediately stood around him and simultaneously activated the Uchiha clan's secret sealing technique.

The Asura's Hellfire became a barrier, and the intense heat began to spread, causing Jiraiya to feel suffocated.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Dust Concealment Technique!"

After forcing Jiraiya back with a single blow, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately formed the Tiger Seal and spewed a plume of high-temperature smoke from the mouth of the Susanoo's demonic giant statue, which spread within the range of the Uchiha Fire Formation.

"asshole!"

Jiraiya was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

Even though the temperature was unbearable, he dared not use Water Release to deal with it, fearing that the clash between hot and cold would cause the dust to explode. So he could only use Wind Release repeatedly to try to disperse the hot dust.

"Wait to die!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's Mangekyou Sharingan unleashed its killing intent, with hot smoke constantly billowing from his mouth. As his chakra continued to condense and condense, Susanoo transformed into its ultimate form with three heads, six arms, and two wings on its back.

……

Orochimaru and Yagura fought against Tsutsumi, and the battle was only a draw.

After losing the Ryuchi Cave summoning contract, Orochimaru's original snake-type ninjutsu was basically half useless. Although some secret techniques could be performed by mimicking chakra, they were far inferior in both power and convenience. Even after obtaining the Sage Seed and being able to refine Sage Chakra, he could only integrate it into ordinary ninjutsu, which only served to amplify its power.

As for Orochimaru's various snake medicines, they had no effect on Princess Tsutsuhime.

As for Yagura Karatachi, although he relied on his enormous size after transforming into a tailed beast to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the blue snake transformed by Takitsuhime, the Three-Tailed Isobu's attack methods were relatively simple. In addition, the blue snake transformed by Takitsuhime was too agile, so Yagura Karatachi, after transforming into a tailed beast, was whipped around like a spinning top.

However, the Three-Tailed Isobu, being similar to a giant tortoise, is tough and has a long health bar. Although ninjutsu techniques such as Coral Palm and Shadow Isobu failed to hit Tsurugi, it was still possible to entangle Tsurugi with Orochimaru's help.

Therefore, they also placed their hopes on Uchiha Tokumitsu and the ninja army that was engaged in fierce fighting.

……

"Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial!"

Gold dust, carrying sand and gravel, stirred up storms that enveloped the ninja snakes and ninja frogs in front of it, crushing them into bloody foam.

After entering a large-scale battle, Rasa, who had been wielding the power of Magnet Release, trembled once again.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Shisui, protected by a group of clan ninjas, charged forward with unrestrained ferocity.

Despite his young age, Uchiha Shisui's mastery of genjutsu was truly remarkable.

Especially during the period when he was forced to train in taijutsu with Might Guy, Uchiha Shisui devised a genjutsu that could reduce his own presence, which proved to be very effective in the battlefield.

Wherever Uchiha Shisui went, the ninja frogs and snakes that came towards him were only focused on the clan ninjas who were trying to protect him. They didn't even notice Uchiha Shisui's presence and were thus caught off guard and slashed to death by ninja swords that were thrust out from under his armpits, the back of his head, his lower body, and his seven-inch spot.

Even the clan ninjas couldn't help but marvel.

Although the Uchiha clan is renowned for its genjutsu and fire-style techniques, most of their genjutsu are "hard control" techniques, which are quite different from the genjutsu of Uchiha Shisui, which is completely devoid of any artificiality.

"Our family has produced many talented younger generations..."

A Jonin from the Uchiha clan remarked, then casually finished off a ninja frog that had been cut in half at the waist.

……

Jiraiya, trapped in the Uchiha Fire Formation, was completely unaware of the situation outside.

Of course, even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.

Under Uchiha Tokumitsu's relentless bombardment, the alien armies of the two holy lands had been weakened to the extreme. The only reason they were still able to maintain a fierce battle was because the Konoha ninja army did not take any prisoners.

Jiraiya was left only with the ability to protect himself under the pressure of the Dust Concealment Technique.

However, under the control of the four moral light and shadow clones, the surrounding fire array slowly and steadily squeezed towards the center; that is to say, the range of the barrier was getting smaller and smaller.

With the continuous barrage of Sage Mode, Ninjutsu, and Tailed Beast Techniques, Jiraiya was even more overwhelmed.

Both Fukasaku and Shima felt that something was amiss.

In terms of mastery of sage techniques, there is no doubt that Mount Myōboku surpasses Uchiha Tokukō.

This has nothing to do with talent or anything like that; it's purely a product of historical accumulation.

However, at this point, both sides had already been dragged into a battle of ninjutsu using Sage Chakra, which was Jiraiya's relative weakness compared to the two Sages.

Although practitioners of Sage Mode possess an extremely large amount of chakra, it is still far inferior to that of Uchiha Tokumitsu, who possessed a Tailed Beast.

In theory, as long as the chakra output threshold is not exceeded, Uchiha Tokumitsu in his Susanoo form can achieve perpetual motion by extracting the chakra of the tailed beasts.

At this point, after several rounds of clashes, Jiraiya and the two sages had already exhausted one-third of their Sage Chakra.

"Jiraiya!"

The hermit, Fukasaku, cried out anxiously, "This can't go on!"

"Persistence is victory!"

Jiraiya answered expressionlessly, then seized an opening and drew a large amount of chakra from the link between the one person and the two frogs to cast Sage Mode—

"Sage Art: Frog Formation!"

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

This time, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not give Jiraiya another chance to rush up and engage in close-quarters taijutsu combat.

As the long arms swung and struck, Tokumitsu Uchiha's Susanoo simultaneously condensed tomoe from its six arms, blasting them towards Jiraiya and his companion.

Jiraiya was once again forced into a defensive posture.

Furthermore, due to the excessive amount of Sage Chakra he had drawn to use the Frog Kumite, his defenses had begun to falter.
