Jiraiya let out a breath of relief in his heart. Although he didn't know why Aomi suddenly mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he was one of the few in the Ninja World who knew how to counter it!
Experience truly does make one a master.
His hardened hair tightly wrapped around Jiraiya's entire body, leaving only a gap for him to observe the battle.
Jiraiya calculated in his heart that as long as Aomi's figure appeared, his hair would immediately extend, securely ensnaring Aomi!
If he could seize the opportunity to place a Five Elements Seal on Aomi, the scales of victory would begin to tip...
Jiraiya focused intensely on the kunai flying towards him, constantly reminding himself that he had to seize this fleeting moment to accurately capture Aomi's position. The flexibility of a Flying Thunder God Jutsu user did not allow him a moment of relaxation,
Clearly, when it came to dealing with Flying Thunder God Jutsu users, Jiraiya had his own set of strategies.
This was the approach he summarized through his past encounters with Namikaze Minato!
And just as Jiraiya had guessed, Aomi's figure appeared beside the kunai!
Jiraiya was overjoyed as he drove his hair to launch an attack at this moment!
But what entered Jiraiya's line of sight was a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, glowing with an eerie red light!
Jiraiya was stunned; this was not what he had anticipated...
But there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't help but focus on the position of the kunai because the only moment he could capture was the instant Aomi materialized...
If he turned his head away and only relied on intuition to calculate the position of the swiftly moving kunai, the margin of error would be too large. Trying to capture a Flying Thunder God Jutsu user would be like a pipe dream...
As Jiraiya locked eyes with Aomi, his expression faltered, and his protective Needle Jizo Jutsu had already been disrupted by the ocular power, the hair that was as hard as armor softened!
Aomi's leg surrounded by chakra kicked Jiraiya away like a ball!
Bam!!
Jiraiya was sent flying like Orochimaru; the two brothers found the same resting place in the same pit.
At this moment, facing Namikaze Minato was only Uzumaki Kushina.
Aomi slowly walked over, examining the blond Namikaze Minato and then the red-haired Kushina, speaking softly, "I want to ask a question..."
Aomi raised his arm, pointing to the Flying Thunder God Mark above: "Who etched this mark on me?"
At this moment, Aomi's Sharingan glowed intensely red, with killing intent almost materializing, sending a chill through Kushina's heart.
Kushina sensed the terrifying chakra within Aomi, and the killing intent as if he had walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Her excellent perception ability now became a burden—
The more she understood Aomi's current power, the more powerless and frightened she felt.
Was her fellow disciple, Aomi, going to kill Minato?
At this moment, Aomi terrified Kushina more than the Nine-tails she had seen within Mito!
At least, the Nine-tails could be controlled, but Jiraiya and Orochimaru's performances told Kushina—
Here, it seemed no one could stop Aomi...
"No one wants to speak?"
Aomi whispered to himself, "If no one will speak, I'll start by asking this blondie..."
[You received Kekkeigenkai: Vajra Seal from the confrontation target Uzumaki Kushina!]
"It was me!"
Sensing Aomi's chakra surging once again, Kushina drew courage from deep within: "I'm the one who left the Flying Thunder God Mark on your arm!"
Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Kushina in shock; at this moment, her strong-willed profile was etched into his heart!
"No, it's me!"
Namikaze Minato shouted at Aomi the next moment, his expression sincere and genuine: "It was really me, it has nothing to do with her!"
Even under Aomi's immense pressure, this pair of lovers still showcased their love.
Aomi couldn't help but nod slightly in his heart; Namikaze Minato and Kushina were truly in love...
Yet even as Aomi thought so, he didn't look toward Namikaze Minato, and softly said: "The first one to speak, counts!"
Namikaze Minato's heart instantly sank to rock bottom!
At this moment, how he wished to take Kushina and escape using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
But having been repeatedly struck hard by Aomi, Namikaze Minato could barely stand, let alone drive his chakra!
Aomi slowly raised his hand.
His speed was slow enough for Namikaze Minato to clearly see his hand seals.
But in Namikaze Minato's eyes, Aomi's hand seals were so fast, too fast for him to think of a way to stop Aomi!
[You received the Flying Thunder God Jutsu from the confrontation target Namikaze Minato!]
And at that moment.
A violent gust of wind mixed with raging flames swept towards Aomi!
Aomi slowly turned, shaking his head in his mind: "Jiraiya and Orochimaru are really too slow, any later and I wouldn't be able to maintain this act..."
Kushina's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved in front of Minato, hoisting him and sprinted away, occasionally glancing at Aomi's back, as if afraid he would appear before them again and ask that deadly question—
"Which of you two left this mark?"
Aomi glanced at the sky-filling fiery wind approaching, nodding: "After the Fire Release, now it should be Water Release..."
"Orochimaru, it's been a long time since we fought side by side!"
Jiraiya looked at the Combined Ninjutsu released by him and Orochimaru, and inexplicably felt his fighting spirit rising.
