"what!"

Jiraiya breathed a heavy sigh of relief as his head emerged from the sea, but just then, a dark shadow fell directly in front of him.

A serrated steel blade appeared in Shura Path's hand, and he slashed directly at Jiraiya, who had just surfaced from the sea.

Jiraiya braced himself against the sea surface with one hand, emerged from the water, and quickly flipped backward to escape.

Shura Path, having missed his attack, showed no sign of retreating. Instead, he pressed close to Jiraiya, thrusting his steel sword straight at him with his right hand while his left hand conjured the muzzle of a Gatling gun. As the steel sword missed again, Shura Path raised his left hand, and the gun instantly unleashed a barrage of bullets.

It's a very unpalatable attack method, but the effect is quite good.

The barrage of bullets forced Jiraiya to flee in panic, but no matter how fast Jiraiya ran, he couldn't outrun the bullets. Just as he was about to be riddled with bullets, Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and used Fire Release to forcefully suppress them.

Senfa·Goemon!

Jiraiya spewed toad oil from his mouth, while Shima, the sage on his shoulder, used Fire Release, and Fukasaku, the sage on his other side, used Wind Release. When these three merged together, it became a terrifying Fire Release that blotted out the sky. With the oil, fire, and wind mixed together, the incoming bullets were instantly swallowed up. Even on the sea, Jiraiya's Sage Art: Goemon still had an amazing effect.

Flames instantly spread across the sea, and the Asura Path had no way to avoid such a large-scale attack, so it could only dive into the water.

However, to his surprise, the toad oil, along with the flames, seeped into the sea, creating a peculiar spectacle of flames burning underwater. The Asura Path, which had just entered the sea, was also engulfed by the flames and was unable to escape successfully.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

As the flames of Sage Art: Goemon poured towards the Deva Path, Human Path, and Preta Path, the Deva Path rapidly floated into the air. However, the flames were so fierce that he was about to be engulfed. In the end, the Deva Path spread his hands and released Shinra Tensei.

While Shinra Tensei may not be the most powerful attack technique, it is definitely a unique form of "absolute defense" when used for defense.

Even Jiraiya's Sage Art: Goemon was forced back by Shinra Tensei and had no way to get close.

At this moment, an absolute defensive space with a diameter of several feet was formed, centered on the Heavenly Dao, which could not be penetrated by water or fire.

At the same time, the Hungry Ghost Path and the Human Path also quickly arrived below the Deva Path. While the Hungry Ghost Path was rapidly absorbing the power of Sage Art: Goemon and creating a new area for the Deva Path to stand in, the Human Path stood behind the Hungry Ghost Path, wary of Jiraiya in the distance.

Although the Deva Path himself blocked Jiraiya's attack, when he looked down at the Asura Path below, which had disappeared into the sea of ​​fire, his face was as gloomy as the weather that day.

The realm of animals, the realm of hell, and the realm of asuras.

The opponent alone had already defeated three of the Six Paths, and what made Nagato even more upset was that the Hell Path was among them.

If the Hell Path still existed, the destruction of the other people's bodies wouldn't matter, but now...

Even before that brat who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique intervened in the battle, things had already escalated to this point. Nagato vaguely sensed that the situation was getting out of his control.

The open sea.

A liaison frog emerges from the sea.

"call out!"

With a whooshing sound, Shinichi Hyuga appeared beside the Liaison Frog.

Shinichi Hyuga glanced at the battlefield ablaze with fire using his Byakugan, and a slight smile appeared on his face:

"The results were even greater than expected."

"By eliminating the Animal Path early on, Jiraiya was able to retain a large amount of chakra."

"Now I have successfully entered Sage Mode, and I am a 'Permanent Sage' with the assistance of two Sages, Shima and Fukasaku. In this way, I can fight against the Heavenly Path, the Human Path, and the Hungry Ghost Path."

"Can you use illusion magic that involves toad chanting?"

"Nagato doesn't have any information about this genjutsu. We have a chance to take them all out at once!"

The battle between Jiraiya and Pain was fierce, and Shinichi Hyuga had no intention of joining the fight, but simply monitored the entire battlefield from the open sea using his Byakugan.

He possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Jiraiya also carries his Flying Thunder God kunai. If Obito Uchiha wanted to intervene in the battle, Shinichi Hyuga could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at Jiraiya's side immediately to provide assistance.

Moreover, judging from the current battle situation, it is actually Jiraiya, not Pain, who has the advantage.

With the assistance of two toad sages, Jiraiya's current state could actually be considered that of a "perfect sage".

The biggest weakness of Sage Mode is not that natural forces are difficult to control, but that the user needs to be absolutely still to gather natural forces. This also means that the user's time in Sage Mode is limited.

However, at this time, Jiraiya's chakra was connected with that of the two toad sages, and the two sages could carry out the task of gathering sage chakra in Jiraiya's place. This also means that Jiraiya's sage mode has no time limit, and he can use the power of nature freely without worrying about running out of power.

Furthermore, Jiraiya's "killing order" when facing the Six Paths of Pain happened to suppress the opponent's most troublesome abilities, which makes the current battle situation very advantageous for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's ability to defeat three of the Pain members is enough to prove his strength. However, with fewer puppets at his disposal, Nagato's control over the remaining three will greatly increase, and the amount of chakra he can distribute to them will also become stronger.

Jiraiya, unaware of the enemy's true nature, was currently pondering how to deal with the remaining three enemies.

He already had some understanding of the Heavenly Dao's techniques. This was a troublesome character who could control gravity and repulsion. Judging from his previous performances, whether it was taijutsu, ninjutsu, or powerful sage techniques, they would all be repelled by the opponent's repulsion.

However, Shinichi Hyuga's previous attack on Tendo served as a reminder to Jiraiya that the opponent's power seemed to be unusable at all times, with a short "cooldown period" in between. However, Jiraiya was unsure how long this interval would last.

At the same time, Jiraiya also had some speculations about the power of the Preta Path.

This chubby ninja seems to be able to absorb ninjutsu. He can not only absorb the chakra of ordinary ninjutsu, but also senjutsu. The senjutsu: Goemon that just happened was blocked by him using that ability.

Upon closer reflection, Jiraiya realized that he had already mastered the ninjutsu characteristics of both enemies. On the contrary, the Human Path, which had been under the care of the Deva Path and the Preta Path, had not made a move until now. Jiraiya was extremely wary of this one person's ninjutsu.

For ninjas, the most terrifying thing is the unknown.

The abilities of the Deva Path and the Hungry Ghost Path are indeed difficult to deal with and troublesome, but Jiraiya can always think of a good way to deal with these two. However, when it comes to the Human Path, whose information is unknown, Jiraiya doesn't know how to deal with it or how to guard against it.

Therefore, he could only lure the human realm into making a move by attacking the Heavenly Realm and the Hungry Ghost Realm, so that he could observe the situation closely.

Of the remaining three, Jiraiya naturally set his sights on the Preta Path, which had the most obvious flaws.

Pain's Six Paths' taijutsu abilities were not as strong as one might imagine. The best way to deal with that strange ninja who could absorb ninjutsu was naturally through taijutsu.

On the sea, Jiraiya, after quickly analyzing the information before him, bowed slightly, and his long hair, which was draped behind him, suddenly swelled up.

Immortal Needle Ksitigarbha!

As Jiraiya rapidly formed hand seals, he flicked his hair, sending countless hair needles hurtling through the air, their targets the Deva Path, Human Path, and Preta Path.

The densely packed hair needles, like a thousand needles, possessed formidable piercing power amplified by the Sage Mode chakra. Without a doubt, anyone struck by this attack would be pierced through.

Facing Jiraiya's attack, Tendo remained calm. This technique looked impressive, but for Tendo, who had mastered Shinra Tensei, it was an attack that could be easily broken.

With a wave of his hand, the dense array of needles was blocked by a nearly transparent wall of air. It was impossible for the power of the Needle Jizo to break through the defense of Shinra Tensei.

Jiraiya wasn't in a hurry. His attack wasn't actually aimed at Pain; his goal was simply to get Pain to unleash that strange gravity ninjutsu once. And Pain's reaction was exactly as Jiraiya had initially predicted.

"An opportunity has arisen!"

"I'm going!"

Jiraiya uttered a soft murmur, then immediately bent down and rushed towards the direction of the Preta Path.

The positions of Tiandao and the others were quite particular. Tiandao, who had fallen from mid-air, stood at the very front, Hungry Ghost Dao stood in the middle, and Human Dao stood at the very back.

To attack the Hungry Ghost Path in the center, Jiraiya had to get past the Deva Path at the very front. So, after accelerating for a few meters, Jiraiya leaped up and tried to get over the Deva Path's head to attack the Hungry Ghost Path directly with taijutsu.

However, while Jiraiya's idea was good, he seemed to have forgotten about the other abilities of the Deva Path during actual combat.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Just as Jiraiya soared into the air and flew over the head of the Deva Path, preparing to attack the Preta Path, the Deva Path suddenly reached out to Jiraiya in the air. The powerful gravitational pull caused Jiraiya to fall rapidly in the direction of the Deva Path.

"Well?"

Jiraiya rapidly adjusted his posture in mid-air, and upon noticing the anomaly, he decisively changed his strategy. He had already condensed a Giant Rasengan in one hand, and using the momentum of his downward descent, he directly slammed the Rasengan towards Tendo.

"Humph!"

While Panda couldn't use Shinra Tensei to deflect Jiraiya's attack for the moment, he showed no sign of panic in the face of the powerful Rasengan.

Just as the Rasengan was about to hit Pain's head, Preta Path suddenly rushed in front of Pain, raised his hands, and began to absorb Jiraiya's chakra.

At the same time, the Human Path, in coordination with the Preta Path, arrived behind Jiraiya while the energy of the Rasengan in Jiraiya's hand was being absorbed. With his hands clasped together, he slammed his fists down hard on Jiraiya's back.

"The speed has increased?!"

With fewer puppets to control, the accuracy increased significantly. Jiraiya could clearly feel that the three of them moved much faster and their movements became more fluid and agile. Unable to adapt in time, Jiraiya suffered the consequences of underestimating his opponents.

"Bang!!!!"

Human Path's heavy blow sent Jiraiya slamming into the sea, but to his surprise, his powerful strike didn't seem to cause any irreparable damage. He didn't hear the sound of bones breaking.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's defense is greatly enhanced, and his physical strength is no longer that of an ordinary ninja.

If it were the Asura Path with its monstrous strength using such physical attacks, it might cause Jiraiya a little trouble, but with the Human Path alone... it's far from enough!

Jiraiya, who had disappeared into the sea, used the same trick again. Shima, who was on his shoulder, spat out water blades, forcing Pain to separate the three people with different abilities.

However, Nagato seemed to have seen through Jiraiya's thoughts. The Pain members cooperated well and did not lose their composure under the frequent water blade attacks, and Jiraiya's plan failed.

As the power of the Heavenly Dao was restored, upon sensing Jiraiya's location, the Heavenly Dao directly used the Universal Pull on Jiraiya underwater.

The suction force could even penetrate the seawater and be directly transmitted to Jiraiya's body, to the point that Jiraiya, who had been fighting for so long, still couldn't figure out how this technique worked. As his body was pulled towards the surface of the sea, Jiraiya once again condensed a Rasengan.

"puff--"

The moment Jiraiya's body was sucked out of the sea, he hurled the Rasengan at Tendo. However, before the Rasengan even got close, Jiraiya suddenly felt a terrifying repulsive force enveloping him.

"Buzz—" With the release of power, the Rasengan was directly shattered by Shinra Tensei, and Jiraiya was sent flying backward, even faster than when he went there.

"Bang!!"

Even when a high-speed flying object lands in water, the recoil it experiences is terrifying. Jiraiya couldn't control his body at all and rolled several times on the surface of the sea before gradually regaining control.
