Chapter 103 (Patreon)

The surviving Suna shinobi felt anger upon hearing the disparaging words and seeing the carefree Utakata on a tree branch, but then their anger was replaced by utter confusion and bewilderment.

"Kirigakure!"

“This is Kiri shinobi!”

“Have we really united with them too?!”

The Sannin wasn't the only one to notice Utakata's forehead protector.

Jiraiya himself suddenly began to give a damn about the undead shinobi of Suna; instead, he raised his head and warily looked around in search of other Kiri shinobi, except for Utakata.

“No need, I came alone,” he lazily picked up the phone.

One?

“Don’t you know, boy, who I am?” – Jiraiya looked forward and laughed, at first very wary in anticipation of the arrival of Kiri’s massive forces, and then took a defiant pose on the head of the Toad Boss and exclaimed loudly. – Then remember, I am the Toad Hermit from Mount Myoboku...

“Yes, I know, I know, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin,” Utakata abruptly interrupted him mid-sentence with the same indifferent expression on his face.

- Really? It turns out I'm being underestimated? – Jiraiya came out of his practiced position and became serious.

Underestimated?

“Well, no way, I wouldn’t be here at all if Kiri underestimated one of the Sannin,” Utakata shook his head and jumped forward, putting the bubble pipe in his belt.

A short moment later, an unimaginable amount of chakra flowed from his figure, which seemed tiny against the background of the Toad Boss, which instantly formed a dark red cover around his body and as many as six swaying tails behind his back.

Second form of Jinchuriki!

The surviving shinobi of Suna were chilled by this huge chakra!

- Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails! – Jiraiya spat out tensely through his teeth, realizing why the enemy dared to come to him alone.

Phew!

After an instant transformation right in the jump, Utakata did not even think about falling to the ground, but turned into a dark red comet, furiously swinging all his six chakra tails!

How fast!

Jiraiya didn't even have time to blink an eye when the transformed Jinchuriki appeared right in front of him at great speed.

But Sannin’s response was not long in coming. Without thinking twice, he pushed off with his feet and sharply bounced back on the Toad Boss’s huge head, simultaneously making a series of hand seals!

Spiny Defender!

After forming the necessary seals, his white hair began to grow rapidly and become spiky, and in a matter of moments, it enveloped the Sannin's entire body, like a hedgehog!

At the same moment, the dark red silhouette of Utakata appeared in front of Jiraiya and without hesitation, struck a furious blow with his chakra-covered hand.

Pooh!

White spiky hair, as strong as steel, of course pierced the dark red chakra cover, but at the same time sharply flew to the side after the hand.

The defense was opened with one blow!

But this did not change Jiraiya's face at all, and his hands had already finished forming seals.

Mane of the Wild Lion!

Then his white hair again grew in length many times over and suddenly rushed forward at great speed, continuing to conduct chakra.

The jinchuuriki was unable to dodge, because he was already rushing towards Jiraiya as fast as he could, and instantly became entangled in a swarm of elongated white hair, which was stronger than even steel wire.

Completely enveloping Utakata’s figure, the elongated hair suddenly shrank and began to dig into the dark red cover with steel spikes, just like barbed wire.

Then, with a ferocious roar, the Jinchuriki’s body turned green, or, to be more precise, it released a caustic green alkali.

Six-Tails' unique ability: Leech Rip!

Psshhhhh....

Jiraiya's lengthening hair began to rapidly decompose upon contact with Utakata's extremely alkaline liquid.

It didn't take long before the jinchuuriki freed himself from Jiraiya's wild lion mane and immediately regained his dark red coat.

After which he jumped back and hovered in the air, where he first inhaled sharply and puffed out his cheeks, and then exhaled a stream of alkaline liquid at Jiraiya and the giant Toad Boss at his feet.

- Gamabunta! – Sannin immediately roared.

The Toad Boss couldn't interfere while Jiraiya was fighting Utakata right on top of him, but now there was a chance.

Gamabunta's gigantic body began to move even before the Sannin's reminder.

The old partners understood each other perfectly.

Sweeton: Water Bullets!

Toad Boss opened his huge mouth wide and shot several water balls from it into the stream of alkaline liquid of the Jinchuriki.

A moment later the hissing sound was heard again.

The extreme alkalinity of Utakata's liquid dropped dramatically when mixed with the huge spheres of water. Therefore, even though the attack partially achieved its target, and even smoke appeared from the reaction, the weakened alkaline liquid was still unable to eat through Gamabunta’s thick skin.

But the Toad Boss himself did not finish there; after spitting out water spheres, he pushed off the ground with his paws and soared sharply into the sky.

Gamabunta's gigantic body caught up with Utakata's tiny body!

Then the toad just as quickly took out and swung a huge tanto towards the enemy, putting all the power of his jump into this blow!

Even before the giant sword reached its target, its enormous pressure had already completely cleared away the aftermath of the battle on the ground.

Utakata himself froze in the air, looking at the approaching blade, and then suddenly became soft and calmly slid along it. A short moment later, the jinchuuriki was already standing on the blunt side of the tanto!

Phew!

Then his figure disappeared and with a flash of dark red chakra appeared on the same tree.

After a failed attack.

Toad Boss returned the tanto to his belt and fell to the ground, accompanied by a monstrous roar, raising a lot of dirt and dust around.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya continued to stand on Gamabunta's head, his gaze never leaving Utakata's figure in the distance.

Their gazes crossed for a few seconds!

Strong!

How strong!

Already completely forgotten Suna shinobi watched with open mouths the shocking battle of the Sannin against the Jinchuriki. What they saw made it clear that Jiraiya was still just playing with them...

– This shinobi Kiri is also... A jinchuriki? Then why doesn't he have that scary aura like Gaara? – one of them doubted.

“Because he most likely achieved complete control over the power of his Biju, not like our Jinchuriki...” the commander explained seriously.

- Well, what should we do now? – added another Suna shinobi.

By this point, they were already well aware that they were simply unable to intervene in such a large-scale battle between the Sannin and the Jinchuriki.
