Bubble stood on a tree branch, looking relaxed.
Many Sand Ninja showed anger on their faces because of what Bubble had just said, but in the next moment, they all froze.
"Kirigakure!"
"It's someone from Kirigakure! Has the Sand Ninja Village already allied with Kirigakure?"
Not only Jiraiya saw the forehead protector on Bubble, but the other Sand Ninja naturally saw it too.
Jiraiya didn't care about the Sand Ninja below, who were almost crippled by him.
He quickly looked up, cautiously surveying the surroundings, searching for other Kirigakure.
"No need to search, I'm the only one here."
Bubble raised the flute in his hand, a calm expression on his face.
Just one person?
Jiraiya's movement to search for nearby Kirigakure stiffened, then he suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Bubble and saying:
"Kid, it seems you don't know who I am?"
"Let me tell you, I am Mount Myōboku's..."
Jiraiya danced exaggeratedly on Gamabunta's head, speaking, but halfway through his sentence, Bubble's voice already sounded.
"Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, I know."
Bubble nodded, still looking calm.
"Is that so? Am I being underestimated?" Jiraiya stopped his movements, and the expression on his face became serious.
Underestimated?
"I would never underestimate the legendary Sannin. If I truly underestimated him, I wouldn't be here."
Bubble gently shook his head, inserting the flute back into his waist, and then leaped into the air.
In the next instant, a large amount of Chakra surged out from Bubble's body.
A dark red Chakra cloak covered Bubble's entire body, and six tails, completely made of Chakra, swayed behind Bubble.
Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!
The terrifying Chakra fluctuations made many Sand Ninja below tremble uncontrollably!
"Six-Tailed Jinchuriki!"
Jiraiya uttered these five words with a somewhat stiff expression. He finally understood why the other party dared to appear here alone.
Whoosh!
Bubble, who had leaped into the air, showed no signs of falling after completing his Tailed Beast Transformation in mid-air. Instead, his body paused in the air.
The six Chakra tails suddenly lashed out, transforming into a red streak of light in the air, attacking Jiraiya at an extremely fast speed!
Too fast!
By the time Jiraiya reacted, Bubble was already not far in front of him.
Jiraiya stomped hard, his body quickly leaping backward, while simultaneously forming hand signs!
Ninja Art: Needle Jizō!
His white hair rapidly grew and hardened. In the blink of an eye, the white hair had firmly protected Jiraiya, and each strand of hair, like a steel needle, pierced forward!
At this moment, Bubble also appeared in front of Jiraiya, raising his claw, which was covered in a Chakra cloak, and slammed it down fiercely.
Crash!
The steel needles instantly pierced through the palm covered by the Chakra cloak, but at the same time, a large portion of the hair protecting Jiraiya was forcibly torn away by Bubble.
Revealing Jiraiya's figure inside!
Seeing this, Jiraiya's expression remained unchanged, and his hands, hidden beneath his hair, also completed their hand signs at the same time.
Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Hair!
The hair that had covered his entire body once again surged, growing forward at a visible speed.
Bubble, standing in front of Jiraiya, naturally didn't even have time to dodge and was instantly entangled by the incredibly tough hair, fixed in place.
Even with the obstruction of the Chakra cloak, Jiraiya's sharp, needle-like hair still largely pierced through the Chakra cloak, injuring Bubble inside.
Bubble let out a low growl, and his entire body suddenly turned dark green.
To be precise, Bubble's entire body secreted a large amount of highly corrosive liquid, causing his entire body to appear in a dark green state.
Six-Tails Saiken's unique ability—Leech!
Hiss hiss—
Jiraiya's Lion's Mane Hair, upon touching these dark green liquids, was instantly corroded away.
After breaking free from Jiraiya's restraints, Bubble's body reverted to its dark red state.
His body curled slightly, then he leaped backward, appearing in mid-air.
Bubble's stomach contracted slightly, then his cheeks suddenly puffed out. In the next moment, a liquid full of corrosive acid was spewed out by Bubble in a single breath.
Attacking Jiraiya and Gamabunta below!
"Gamabunta!"
Jiraiya roared.
The two of them had been fighting on top of Gamabunta's head just now, so Gamabunta naturally couldn't intervene, but now that Bubble had jumped into the air, it gave Gamabunta a chance to attack.
As Jiraiya's old partner, Gamabunta's body had already moved before Jiraiya even reminded him.
Water Release: Toad Oil Bullet!
Gamabunta opened his mouth, and several huge water balls spewed out, colliding with the acidic corrosive liquid falling from the sky.
Making hissing sounds.
Under the dilution of several water balls, the acidic corrosive liquid sprayed by Bubble was directly reduced by several levels, splashing onto Gamabunta's body.
Although it still corroded with a puff of white smoke, it didn't even corrode through Gamabunta's epidermis, so it naturally had no effect.
After spraying several water balls, Gamabunta's movements did not stop.
With a slight exertion of his limbs, Gamabunta leaped directly into the air.
His entire body was level with Bubble in the air!
Accompanied by a soft whistle, Gamabunta pulled out the short sword hanging at his waist. A huge blade appeared in mid-air and slashed down towards Bubble's direction!
Before the blade even fell, the mere air currents generated cleared a space in the forest below.
Seeing the massive blade about to descend, Bubble's falling figure in the air paused for a moment.
Immediately after, Bubble's entire body suddenly became soft, like softened rubber, and he slid directly along the blade.
In the next instant, Bubble was already standing on the tip of the giant short sword.
Whoosh!
A red light flashed, and Bubble's figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was standing on the tip of a large tree.
The attack missed.
Gamabunta retracted his short sword, and his body simultaneously fell from the sky with a loud thud, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Jiraiya remained on Gamabunta's head, looking at Bubble in the distance with a solemn expression.
Their gazes silently met in the air!
Strong!
So strong!
The Sand Ninja standing below, who had been temporarily forgotten by the two, all watched the battle between them in a daze.
Compared to the battle between these two, they realized that their earlier battle with Jiraiya was completely child's play.
"The other person is also a Jinchuriki, but why doesn't he have that violent aura compared to Gaara?"
One Sand Ninja spoke with some hesitation.
"Unlike Gaara, that Jinchuriki can already completely control the power of the Tailed Beast."
The captain of this Sand Ninja unit spoke with a solemn tone.
"Then what do we do next?" Another Sand Ninja's voice sounded.
After the battle between Jiraiya and Bubble, they had already realized that they couldn't intervene in this level of battle at all; they would only be a burden here.
