Chapter 170 Going All Out with Jiraiya
"So this is all the power you have? That's why you didn't kill me before," Jiraiya asked.
As he spoke, he formed hand seals, finally opening his mouth to shout: "Sage Art: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya spat out scalding toad oil, Fukasaku used Wind Release, and Shima unleashed flames. The sea of fire formed by the three great sage techniques instantly engulfed half the village, distorted the air, and even melted the rocks. The insect clones condensed by the insects were instantly burned to ashes by the sea of fire, along with hundreds of millions of insects, creating a large clearing.
However, soon, countless insects emerged from the ground and quickly filled the gap.
"You're not speaking, so you'll have to use your full strength to kill me?" Jiraiya continued to ask. Judging from his silence after displaying his power earlier, he was probably right.
Therefore, Aburame Shicheng was not as invincible as he seemed. At least his opponent was wary of him from beginning to end, fearing that he would escape halfway and expose his identity.
In an instant, Jiraiya regained his confidence and once again conjured a ninjutsu in his hand. This time it was still a fireball, because it was the simplest way to deal with the swarm of insects.
On the other hand, Aburame Shisei simply raised his hand.
"Immortal Technique: Wind King's Barrier".
A blue wind wall unfolded before the swarm of insects, forcibly diverting the high temperature.
At the same time, a large number of brown beetles suddenly emerged from the grayish-white swarm of insects, burrowing into the ground and turning the ground into a muddy swamp.
The sea of fire fell into the mud, hissing as it evaporated, its power greatly reduced.
"These are insects that can turn into mud!"
Jiraiya leaped to avoid the mud, only to find the air already swarming with silvery-gray insects, their wings rubbing together and making a piercing hissing sound—
"Insect Escape: Lightning Net!" Aburame Shisei only used one hand seal as a guide.
Like dark clouds, the iron-aluminum worms filled the sky. For the first time, they were used as weapons, flying against each other and rubbing their armor together.
A series of arcs of electricity connected from within the swarm of insects, eventually coalescing into a thick bolt of blue lightning.
With this seal, blue lightning descended like a fishing net, and Jiraiya hastily formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Lightning struck the earthen wall, sending debris flying.
As soon as he landed, a swarm of gray insects, as if they had smelled meat, swarmed toward him.
"Earth Release: Earth Opening and Rock Creation." Jiraiya used Earth Release to compact the soil, barely leaving himself a place to stand.
Then it spewed out a ring of flames, scattering all the insects.
However, at that moment, a sweet and pungent odor entered my nasal cavity.
The smell was faint, and he didn't notice it at first, but as one of the two toads who often ate insects, the immortal immediately realized what it was.
"Something's wrong with Xiao Jiraiya too. There's a smell in the air, it's the toxins from the insects."
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiraiya's vision blurred, and he quickly bit his tongue: "Release!"
At this moment, Shima quickly cut open his own arm and forced a drop of blood into Jiraiya's mouth.
After all, toads are naturally resistant to insect toxins.
The moment the illusion was forcibly broken, a dark figure appeared before him. It was Aburame Shisei, who had already closed in on him without him even noticing.
"Wind Release: Sage Art - Vacuum Waves!"
The air was compressed into dozens of transparent blades. Jiraiya barely managed to turn to the side, but his shoulder and thigh were still slashed with deep, bloody gashes.
He staggered backward, coughing up blood: "Who exactly are you? Bai Mu is your hidden identity, isn't it?"
The insect clones coalesced again, surrounding them from all directions, their voices overlapping: "Didn't you already guess that?"
The illusion was still a sonic illusion. Although it couldn't harm him, it would definitely disrupt him if he relaxed his guard.
He had never seen the quality of this illusion before, but if one's mental strength relaxed, even the ability to perform ninjutsu would likely be affected.
"Aburame Shisei... Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, with a bounty of 30 million taels of silver."
Jiraiya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a bitter smile on his face. "I checked your file before. You graduated at twelve and remained a genin until you were eighteen, without much success."
Until the end of World War II, in the first half of Konoha 35, you openly defected from Konoha and even killed your longtime friend and an elite Jonin of Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi.
The illusion you used back then was probably the same one as before. It was quite cleverly designed, incorporating poison into the illusion. Even I almost fell for it just now.
"So?" Aburame Shisei's thin wings fluttered behind him, and he nimbly hovered in mid-air.
All around him were his black-clad, black-haired clones wearing sunglasses, who mingled among the insect swarm and continued to question him.
"Why did you defect?" Jiraiya stared intently at him. "Although the Aburame clan keeps a low profile, they have never been mistreated in Konoha. Your parents were ninjas who died in battle in Sunagakure, and the Third Hokage personally provided for their families. Your teacher was..."
That's enough.
Aburame Shisei interrupted him, her voice devoid of emotion: "Konoha is good, but even the best cage is still a cage. I want to see the world outside the cage, is that reason enough?"
Jiraiya continued to use Fire Release techniques to clear away the insects flying around him.
"You say Konoha is a cage, but you're in the ninja world, a human being, isn't everywhere a cage? Come back. Considering you haven't revealed your identity, and considering you haven't committed any serious mistakes in your current state, I believe the old man will be very willing to accept you."
If you also dislike Danzo, then you don't need to pay any attention to him. We all hate him. He's currently imprisoned, paying the price for the mistakes he's made over the years. Come back; there is no oppression in Konoha!
Upon hearing this, Aburame Shisei couldn't help but laugh. He covered his face with one hand, brushed the stray hairs from his forehead, and revealed his piercing eyes.
"So you're inviting me to go back and destroy Konoha?"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya froze. Only then did he realize that Shisei Aburame was not as calm as he appeared. The other's will had been completely distorted. He seemed normal, but in fact, he could no longer communicate in normal language.
If this being is not exposed and all the powerful figures in the ninja world are not united to eliminate him, he will inevitably bring disaster to the world.
"Shisei Aburame, what have you been through all these years... that has twisted your humanity to such an extent?" Jiraiya's expression turned solemn, even carrying a sense of regret.
"You must have experienced some injustices back then. Can't you forget the scars of the past? You must look forward."
"Hahahaha, I'm... a twisted human being!"
Yu Nu Zhicheng thought this was the biggest joke he had ever heard.
