After the fierce fire, the area in front of Gamaken was completely empty.
However, he, who was not affected by the Fire Release, suddenly collapsed weakly, and the trident in his hand rolled away to the side due to exhaustion.
What is going on?
Before Uchiha Itachi could analyze the situation, Boro's voice came from in front of him.
"Hmph, kid, you've got a lot of guts."
A shadow covered his vision, and only now did Uchiha Itachi notice Boro's figure.
Seeing Boro throw a punch at him, Uchiha Itachi instinctively raised his hand to block, but found that he could not lift his arm at all.
No, even his movements were affected, and moving his feet had become difficult.
What's happening?
Uchiha Itachi activated his Sharingan before the fist reached him.
Then he saw the black virus swirling around Boro.
"Jiraiya-sama, this guy can release a virus that paralyzes people!"
After leaving this warning, Uchiha Itachi was elbowed away by a punch, smashing through three thick ice sheets before stopping.
"I know!"
Jiraiya's voice finally rang out.
Seeing his current state, Bunta finally let out a sigh of relief. His mission was complete, and the rest was up to Jiraiya himself.
And the two Sages, Fukasaku and Shima.
Bunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro successively released their summons.
"Oh? The big toads aren't enough, so you summon the old toads?"
Boro turned his head to look at Jiraiya, who had already completed Sage Mode, with the two Sages standing on his shoulders.
"No, no, no, from this point on, it is my Mount Myōboku's—"
Jiraiya struck his classic pose.
Then Shima punched him in the face.
"Kid, why the nonsense, hurry up and finish! I still have to go home to cook!"
It's like this again... my pathetic entrance...
Hearing Sage Shima's reprimand, Jiraiya was on the verge of tears.
"Use wind."
Knowing that the opponent was surrounded by a virus, Shima told Fukasaku to use Wind Release to deal with it.
The strong wind blew away the virus surrounding Boro, and Shima's tongue shot out from her mouth, quickly wrapping around Boro, while simultaneously releasing a yellow gas.
Immediately after, Shima flung Boro, who was trying hard to break free from the restraint. The moment the tongue released him, Fukasaku released a Water Release, which directly cut Boro in half.
"That hurts, you bastard."
Boro, who was cut in half, began to regenerate right in front of the two Sages.
Fukasaku and Shima looked serious, carefully observing Boro's regeneration process.
"Did you notice anything, you two?"
Jiraiya asked the two Sages.
"I have a guess. Kid, use oil, and Fukasaku-chan, use wind!"
Shima did not immediately reveal her guess, but instructed Jiraiya to prepare the oil.
"Understood, Sage Art: Goemon!"
Jiraiya quickly jumped to a high place, cooperating with the two Sages to use the Sage Art.
The scorching hot oil formed a giant wave, surging towards Boro.
The intense heat directly melted the ice layer on the battlefield, and some of the hot oil began to spread around.
Several Leaf ninjas quickly went forward to drag away Uchiha Itachi, who had been struck by Boro, putting distance between themselves and Jiraiya.
Boro was engulfed by the hot oil, leaving him with only one option: jump out of the hot oil's coverage area.
He immediately climbed onto the closest ice pillar, wanting to escape before the ice pillar melted.
What a terrifying Ninjutsu, it actually has such a large range.
As he was escaping, he did not forget to lament the range of this Ninjutsu.
"Rasengan!"
Jiraiya burst out with a speed even faster than his, arriving next to Boro and slamming a Rasengan into his abdomen.
Boro, in pain, realized that Jiraiya wanted to knock him into the hot oil, and he struggled vehemently, trying to grab onto anything that could prevent his fall.
"As expected, the regeneration of his physical body has a limit. I think there must be some kind of core inside him. As long as the core remains, his body can continue to regenerate."
As he spoke, the Rasengan had already blasted a large hole in Boro's body.
"You hateful fellow."
Finding that there was nothing around to grab onto, Boro once again released more black mist from his body.
"Is that the virus again?"
Fukasaku next to Jiraiya stretched out his tongue, wrapping it around a distant ice shard, carrying Jiraiya away to evade the black mist's attack.
Boro suddenly spat out a mouthful of flames.
The flames caused a violent explosion upon contact with the black mist.
The resulting shockwave of the explosion flung Boro horizontally, and he used this to avoid the fate of falling into the hot oil.
"Was that not a virus, but gunpowder?"
Jiraiya was slightly surprised, not expecting the opponent to use such a method to avoid Sage Art: Goemon.
"Die, you damned fellow!"
Boro, who crawled up from the ground, was furious and eager to kill Jiraiya, who had made him so miserable.
"I should be the one saying that, you bastard."
Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of Boro.
Boro only now realized that Jiraiya's speed was much faster than before.
Damn it, why didn't I have any information about this.
Just as Boro was about to block, Jiraiya delivered a side kick, hitting him directly in the face.
Watching Boro fly backward, Jiraiya quickly followed up, delivering several more punches, each strike causing Boro extremely high damage.
"It's time to deliver the final blow."
Looking at Boro, who was smashed several meters into the ice, Jiraiya unleashed his ultimate technique.
"Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan!"
The Rasengan made contact with Boro's outer skin, spinning layer by layer, stripping away large portions of his tissues.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it—"
Boro roared, but he couldn't stop the Rasengan from consuming his regeneration.
Soon, his regeneration speed was suppressed by the Rasengan, exposing the core used to help him heal his wounds.
Accompanied by a loud explosion, his core was shattered by the Rasengan, and the entire Rasengan also burst open at this moment.
"Did I succeed?"
Jiraiya subconsciously spoke, looking at the ice fragments filling the sky.
Soon, the super-strong sensory ability granted by Sage Mode made him realize that his words just now sounded like a joke.
Even without sensing, everyone present saw the huge shadow through the mist of ice.
"You will pay a blood price for this, you bastards!"
Boro's roar dispersed the ice mist filling the air, and his mutated, octopus-like body was completely exposed to everyone's view.
"So big!"
His enormous size made Jiraiya feel a little shocked.
Even the huge physical boost brought by Sage Mode probably couldn't shake this leviathan in front of him.
Just as Jiraiya was pondering how to take down this big guy, Boro had leaped high and was slamming straight down toward his location.
Boro's landing was earth-shattering. The ice at the center of the impact point shattered directly into ice dust, and cracks spread for hundreds of meters around.
Jiraiya, who had dodged in time, still had his body shaken a few times by the immense tremor even after jumping to a safe distance.
