Chapter 170: 170

Nagato's pupils shrank as he subconsciously tilted his head to the side and avoided it.

But the next moment.

'Boom!'

A fist mark appeared on Nagato's face, and half of his face was sunken and deformed. He flew upside down for dozens of meters. After hitting a roadside pole, he rolled on the ground for a dozen laps before stopping.

"We succeeded!"

Jiraiya was very excited.

His punch just now, although it didn't seem to hit Nagato, actually gathered natural energy near the fist of his hand in advance, which invisibly expanded the attack range of the fist.

Therefore, Nagato just dodged Jiraiya's fist, but not the natural energy around the fist, and was hit hard.

'Whoosh.'

Jiraiya chased after him, wanting to take down Nagato in one go, but the latter's fighting ability obviously exceeded his expectations, as Nagato stood up from the ground.

"Spit!"

Nagato spat out a mouthful of blood and rubbed the half of his face that was hit by Jiraiya. In just a few seconds, the wound on his face was healed.

"How is this possible?"

Jiraiya's expression became more and more solemn. Nagato's self-healing reminded him of the God of Ninjas, Senju Hashirama, which is so similar to what is happening in front of him.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, do you know why I didn't use the ability of the Rinnegan just now? Because I want to prove that even if I only use taijutsu, I am stronger than you."

Nagato stared at Jiraiya and said smoothly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he tore off the Akatsuki robes from his body.

His half-human, half-snake body was completely displayed in front of Jiraiya.

His head has a pair of double horns, his body is covered with hard scales but is soft and flexible, and there is a living white snake tail behind him.

"Nagato, is this the path you chose? Don't you realize that the human part of you is disappearing, replaced by the cold blood and cruelty of snakes?"

Jiraiya said solemnly, the expression on his face was not only shocked, but also one of heartache.

In his opinion, Nagato's personality has changed so much because he must have been influenced by this snake body.

However, Nagato shook his head, grinning quitely, and said to Jiraiya:

"Sensei, you are wrong. Compared to your crappy Sage mode, I am the perfect form. Not only can I absorb natural energy anytime and anywhere, but also have the wisdom of a human and the agility of a snake in my body, and it's evolving every second."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his center of gravity abruptly, swam on the ground like a snake, and attacked Jiraiya.

The two fought again.

Only this time, the situation was reversed.

Nagato, who completely let go of his restraints, used his Sage body's flexible and bizarre taijutsu to suppress Jiraiya and two toads and gained the upper hand.

Soon.

During the battle, Jiraiya's arm was bitten by Nagato's white snake tail that injected him with paralyzing toxin, making his body still.

Nagato seized the opportunity and attacked with a forceful kick, sending Jiraiya flying out and falling on the other side of the street.

'Da da da.'

Nagato's crisp footsteps resounded on the empty street, as he approached Jiraiya step by step.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, your ninjutsu and taijutsu are not able to deal with me. If you have any other means, hurry up and use them. However, I advise you not to use genjutsu, because in front of my eyes, your genjutsu that is normally very powerful is useless."

As he walked towards Jiraiya, he said calmly.

'Damn.'

Jiraiya cursed in his heart and decided to call in some helpers. So, he bit his finger and pressed his palm to the ground.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

Under the watchful eyes of Jiraiya and the two sages, the rocks and buildings that rose from the ground to mid-air finally surrounded the black light sphere, forming a sphere with a diameter of more than 100 meters, similar to a huge meteorite.

Just like this, it floated quietly in the sky above Amegakure.

The toad trio were all trapped in that huge sphere, completely losing their ability to move, and they didn't know whether they are alive or not.

Although Nagato's power is far from comparable to the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Chibaku Tensei he created is shocking enough.

"No, we have to find a way to break that sphere and rescue Gamabunta and others!"

After discussing with the two sages on the shoulders, Jiraiya prepared to work together to use a combination senjutsu, and smash the ball with a powerful external force, and releasing the toad trio.

However, Nagato would not give him this chance.

"Jiraiya-Sensei, you should be too busy to take care of yourself, how can saving those toads?"

Nagato rushed to Jiraiya with a mocking expression on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, he squatted down abruptly, pressed his hands to the ground, and surging natural energy rushed out of his body, covering the entire street.

Next second.

The ground at the foot of Nagato seemed to have suddenly come to life, and the sounds of "crashing" and "banging" came from the ground, as if the blood in the human body was flowing through the blood vessels, producing a strong pulse sound.

Not only that, the water on the ground, the trees and poles on the roadside, and the buildings next to the street all came alive at this moment, rumbling and twisting and changing into various shapes.

'What is this?'

While Jiraiya paled in shock, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned into a huge mouth, which was about to swallow him.

Fortunately, Jiraiya reacted fast enough and jumped into the air ahead of time, but then, the ground and the surfaces of the buildings on both sides of the street swelled with spikes, running towards him like a torrential rain.

At this moment, everything on the entire street seemed to have life, and a frantic attack was launched towards Jiraiya from all directions.

'Whoosh.'

Jiraiya tried desperately to dodge, but under the siege with no dead ends, there was no way to avoid it, and he was quickly injured.

'Swish swish.'

Nagato manipulated dozens of spikes, passing through Jiraiya's armpits, between his legs, and other gaps in his body, forming a spiked cage that completely trapped the latter.

Jiraiya can't move now.

Under Jiraiya's almost desperate eyes, Nagato slowly walked up to him.

"The trick I used just now is called Inorganic Reincarnation, and only those who have perfectly mastered the Ryuchi Cave's Senjutsu can use it. Simply put, it is a jutsu that gives life to lifeless inorganic things and controls them. As you can see, I made my surroundings come alive and fight for me."

Nagato said to Jiraiya in a slightly showy tone, and finally announced, "This battle is over, I won. Today, the Ryuchi Cave defeated Mount Myoboku."

Hearing this, Jiraiya showed a wry smile and said resignedly:

"Go ahead, Nagato, give me a quick death. But please don't hurt the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima. They are the elders under the Great Toad Sage. Once they die, it is likely to cause a full-scale war between Ryuchi cave and Mount Myoboku. I don't think even the White Snake Sage would want to see this situation."

"Little Jiraiya..." Both Fukasaku and Shima choked up.

"As expected of Jiraiya-Sensei, this spirit of self-sacrifice is really admirable."

Nagato praised sincerely, and then said in a victorious manner, "Don't worry, I won't kill these two toads. And, for the sake of the things between you and me, I won't kill you this time either. But as for those three big toads..."

When he said this, he glanced at the terrestrial star in the sky, and added in a tough tone that could not be defied:

"They killed the big snakes of the Ryuchi Cave and must stay to pay for their lives."

"Nagato...Is there really no room for negotiation, can you let Gamabunta and the others go?"

Jiraiya couldn't bear to see the Toad trio killed, and was still trying to save their lives.

"Jiraiya, I warn you not to go too far."

Nagato's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was no longer the word "Sensei" while he addressed Jiraiya, "I spared your life this time to repay the kindness you have given to me. Take your people and go back to Konoha, next time we meet on the battlefield, I won't be merciful anymore."

He then waved his hand, and all the spikes around Jiraiya's body receded, allowing him to regain his freedom.
