After recalling Gamabunta, Jiraiya looked at Ritsu in the distance and said in a low voice, "I admit that you are the most capable boy I have ever seen. With your talent, you can become a big shot wherever you go. Why do you stay in a rogue ninja organization and be willing to do those sneaky things?"
"So long-winded," Ritsu slowly raised his palm and aimed at Jiraiya, whispering, "Hadō No. 33, Sōkatsui (Blue Fire Crash)."
Whoosh!
A spirit particle light ball shot out from Ritsu's palm and flew towards Jiraiya at an extremely fast speed.
Jiraiya hurriedly dodged sideways, and the spirit particle light ball hit the place where Jiraiya had just stood. A huge hole was blown out in that place, and the hole was still on fire.
Looking at the big hole with a diameter of ten meters, Jiraiya was sweating coldly and muttered to himself, "This guy's methods are too weird, and his physical skills are not weak. He can injure Gamabunta with one strike. I can't get the upper hand if I continue to fight, and it will be troublesome if other Akatsuki members come to support. I can only retreat first."
Thinking of this, Jiraiya said nothing and ran towards the outside of the village.
Ritsu did not chase him but slashed at the back of the fleeing Jiraiya with a blade in the air and said coldly, "Zanka no Tachi, Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin (Blade of Ember, South: Great Burial Ranks of the Ten Trillion Fire Dead)."
Boom!!
A large amount of flames appeared out of thin air around Ritsu. These flames seemed to have life, and they caught up with Jiraiya in an instant at a very fast speed, surrounding Jiraiya and Ritsu in the flames, forming a hot battlefield surrounded by fire.
Jiraiya, whose way was blocked by the flames, had to stop. He looked at the huge wall of flames in front of him and said in horror, "Fire Release? The temperature is too high… and I have never seen this form of Fire Release before…"
"Looks like I can't run away," Jiraiya sighed, turned to look at Ritsu bathed in flames, and said solemnly, "Although I don't have the confidence to beat you, I will try my best, at least to pass the information about your Akatsuki organization back to the village."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and growled, "Sage Mode!"
The air around him began to fluctuate, and a lot of natural energy entered his body at a relatively slow speed. His appearance was slowly changing, becoming more and more like a humanoid toad.
"It takes ten minutes to fully enter Sage Mode…" Jiraiya thought to himself, "During this period, my hands cannot form seals. It seems that I can only delay time."
Swish!
Jiraiya had just finished thinking, and Ritsu disappeared like a ghost, appearing in front of Jiraiya in an instant.
Ritsu raised his flaming Zanpakutō and, without hesitation, slashed at Jiraiya's neck. The whole process took no more than 0.5 seconds.
"Oops!" Jiraiya's pupils shrank, and he stepped back to avoid the blade.
Puff!
The blade failed to cut Jiraiya's neck but sliced through Jiraiya's arm. There was a muffled sound, and Jiraiya's entire right hand was cut off and flew out. The severed arm fell into the wall of fire and was instantly melted into ashes.
"Damn it…" Jiraiya staggered back a few steps, half-knelt on the ground, covered the broken part of his shoulder, and gritted his teeth, "I was careless. This is bad."
Ritsu did not stop to chat. He slashed at Jiraiya through the air and whispered, "Getsuga Tenshō (Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer)."
Puff!
A flaming blade flew out of the Zanpakutō and slashed across Jiraiya's chest, who was too pained to dodge. A horrible cut appeared on Jiraiya's chest instantly, from the collarbone to the lower abdomen, several inches deep, and the bones in the wound could be vaguely seen.
Bear!
However, this was not over yet. The cut on Jiraiya's chest instantly burst into flames, and the fire quickly spread to Jiraiya's entire upper body, burning with crackling sounds.
"Ah!!" Jiraiya yelled in pain and rolled on the ground in the flames, but he could not put out the flames on his body, and they burned more and more.
"It's over," Ritsu sheathed his Zanpakutō, and the surrounding walls of fire slowly died down. The temperature of the air dropped, but the cemetery had been completely burned down, turning into scorched earth.
Ritsu glanced at Jiraiya, who was still rolling on the ground in the flames, and then turned and left in the direction of the base.
"Wait, wait!" Just as Ritsu took a few steps, Jiraiya's painful but stubborn voice came from behind.
Ritsu stopped and looked back. Jiraiya had actually stood up despite the pain of his body being burned by flames. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not over yet! I'm not dead yet! I, I'm not that weak!"
Ritsu said lightly, "Your internal organs are basically carbonized. If you still have the strength, you might as well end your life to end the pain. Our strength is not in the same dimension. You can't beat me."
"Stop talking nonsense! I, I promised Tsunade that I must go back alive!" Jiraiya said, gritting his teeth and rushing towards Ritsu with his last bit of strength.
Ritsu sighed, drew out his Zanpakutō, and then his body disappeared and reappeared behind Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's forward posture froze in place. A fist-sized blood hole was pierced in his chest, shattering his heart.
Jiraiya looked down at the blood hole in his chest and smiled bitterly, "Looks like I have disappointed you, Tsunade." After that, he fell to the ground with a plop, his pupils dilated, and he lost his breath.
