With just one Deva Path body, Nagato was able to fight Jiraiya in Sage Mode equally in taijutsu.
Now, having recalled the Five Paths of Pain and recovering his health after extracting the Three-Tails' Chakra, Nagato's main body was ready.
Facing Jiraiya's attacks in Sage Mode, he wasn't completely stress-free, but he was exceptionally relaxed.
The high-speed taijutsu exchange between master and disciple kicked up large clouds of dust.
Konan, who was observing from the side, frowned slightly, then two paper wings appeared on her back, and she flew into the air.
Girls, unlike two big men, still like to keep clean.
The taijutsu battle had lasted for a minute, and Jiraiya had no way to deal with Nagato.
The more he fought, the more Jiraiya was startled.
Jiraiya knew very well how strong his taijutsu was when he entered Sage Mode.
Even against Tsunade, he could easily handle her.
However, Nagato on the opposite side seemed to be handling it with great ease and comfort.
After realizing how troublesome Nagato was, Jiraiya's resolve grew even stronger.
There's no mistake, Nagato must be the Child of Prophecy!
"Bosses!"
Jiraiya's simple words made Shima and Fukasaku understand.
It was time to get serious.
The two Sages, who had been itching for a fight, didn't hesitate and immediately chose to act, thinking it was a good opportunity to teach this disrespectful brat a lesson.
[Sage Art: Frog Kumite!]
Jiraiya's Sage Mode wasn't as perfect as Naruto's, and using Frog Kumite required the cooperation of the two Sages.
'Bang'
The moment they clashed again, the Natural Energy around Jiraiya transformed into invisible and imperceptible fists or palms, attacking Nagato.
Imperceptible was for ordinary Ninja, but in Nagato's eyes, he saw it clearly.
Invisible attacks?
Then try this!
Nagato didn't choose to dodge, still preparing for Jiraiya's next attack.
Just as Jiraiya felt he was about to succeed, a presence with a strange aura appeared in his greatly enhanced perception from Sage Mode.
What was that?
The Natural Energy attacking Nagato was completely blocked, and Nagato, without any hindrance, threw a punch at Jiraiya.
While blocking Nagato's attack, that strange presence that had just blocked Frog Kumite rapidly attacked Jiraiya.
Not good!
Jiraiya was anxious but had no solution, then Jiraiya saw the enormous figure behind Nagato.
[Naraka Path: King of Hell!]
Jiraiya, entangled by the tongue, could finally see the King of Hell standing behind Nagato.
It was a huge head with a gaping mouth that could swallow several people at once, and the tongue extending from its mouth was now wrapped around Jiraiya.
"What is this?"
Jiraiya asked, but Nagato had no intention of answering.
He kicked Jiraiya in the abdomen, and then the King of Hell released its tongue, sending Jiraiya flying backward.
"If this is all you've got, then you'll die here today, Jiraiya-sensei!"
Still in the air, Jiraiya heard Nagato's cold words.
Jiraiya quickly got up after landing, dusting off his clothes; although he couldn't see it anymore, he could still clearly sense that the King of Hell hadn't disappeared.
Jiraiya knew that he couldn't teach Nagato a lesson with just taijutsu.
Upon hearing Nagato's words, Jiraiya only gave a slight self-deprecating laugh.
What a failure, even his disciple was shouting to kill him, and he was beaten without any ability to fight back!
However, the stubborn Jiraiya wouldn't voice his inner thoughts.
"Nagato, your taijutsu is indeed good, but you need to know that Ninja are called Ninja because of Ninjutsu!"
"I'm going to get serious now. If you feel it's too much, remember to run away, Nagato!"
After speaking, Jiraiya leaped, directly halving the distance between him and Nagato.
At the highest point, Jiraiya's right hand had already condensed a huge blue orb of light.
Visibly, Chakra was rapidly swirling within it.
[Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan!]
Looking at the aggressively approaching Jiraiya, Nagato didn't even want to move a step.
Jiraiya, in mid-air, holding the Rasengan and smashing it down, saw Nagato standing still, intending to take the hit head-on, so he quickly twisted his body, intending to shift his target.
However, Jiraiya realized it too late; the Rasengan that hit the ground rapidly expanded, engulfing Nagato.
"Nagato!"
Jiraiya shouted anxiously.
Seemingly remembering that his last narrow escape was with Konan's help, Jiraiya quickly looked towards Konan's location, hoping she could think of a solution.
No, Konan wasn't there!
Oh, she was in the sky, watching the leisurely Konan, Jiraiya felt something was wrong.
At a time like this, how could Konan still be watching the show?
So, Nagato is fine?
Everything that happened next confirmed Jiraiya's guess.
Chakra, it was absorbed!
Looking at the increasingly smaller Rasengan in his hand, Jiraiya felt the Chakra within it rapidly draining away.
Just a moment later, the Rasengan dissipated into the air.
Aside from a hole with a radius of over ten meters caused by the initial impact with the ground, this attack had no effect.
Nagato, standing in place without moving a step, appeared before Jiraiya's eyes, completely unharmed.
