This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 169 Jiraiya, the First of the Three Ninjas

The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. With a shout, he aimed at the enemy commander, Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin.

He slammed his fists together, and the Explosion Release chakra surged at the tips of his fists, creating dazzling sparks.

"Follow me, don't give him a chance to form hand seals!"

At his command, three elite Jonin from Iwagakure instantly flanked him from the flank, and together with Gari from the front, the four of them trapped Jiraiya in the middle.

These three are all renowned strongmen of Iwagakure: Sato, who is skilled in Earth Release hardening taijutsu; Watanabe, who is skilled in Earth Release; and Yamamoto, a sensory ninja.

"Four against one?"

Jiraiya stood atop a protruding boulder, his wild white hair dancing in the wind. Even surrounded and facing the murderous intent of four Jonin, he still wore that somewhat unruly smile.

He lowered his center of gravity slightly, put his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes changed from the playful look to a shrewd and composed one.

"You guys from Iwagakure, this number isn't enough to take my head."

"Hmph! Do it!"

At Shou's command, the rocks beneath his feet cracked, and he shot out like a cannonball.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

At the same time, Sato's skin on the left instantly turned dark brown, as if he were wearing a layer of rock armor, and he swung his heavy fists to cooperate with Kari's attack.

On the right, countless sharp rock spears burst forth from the ground, blocking all of Jiraiya's escape routes.

Behind him, an invisible barrier opened, attempting to restrict Jiraiya's movement speed.

"BOOM!!!"

A violent explosion rocked the boulder, and smoke and dust instantly engulfed Jiraiya's figure.

"Did you succeed?" Yamamoto frowned, staring intently at the center of the smoke and dust, unable to sense any life within it.

"Too naive. This level of attack isn't even enough to tickle me."

Amidst the smoke and dust, a calm voice slowly emerged.

At the center of the explosion, a white sphere stood unharmed, a defense formed by countless white hairs as hard as steel.

"Ninjutsu: Needle Jizo!"

His white hair fell loose, revealing Jiraiya completely unharmed.

"How is this possible? Hair can actually block Explosion Release and Rock Fist?" Sato's eyes widened. Several broken strands of hair were still stuck in his fist, which was throbbing with pain.

"Now that you've finished, it's my turn."

Jiraiya's eyes sharpened, and his hands formed hand seals with lightning speed.

"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"

His white hair suddenly grew wildly, as if it came to life, transforming into several giant white pythons that, enhanced by chakra, swiftly coiled around the sensory ninja.

"Oh no! His target is Yamamoto!"

Kari wanted to go back to help, but Jiraiya acted faster than him.

The white hair, like a snake emerging from its hole, instantly covered a distance of tens of meters.

Just as Yamamoto was about to use Earth Release to defend himself, the white-haired man tightly wrapped his ankle around hers.

"Come here!"

Jiraiya let out a loud shout, strained his neck, and swung it violently.

"what!"

Yamamoto screamed as he was swung around like a meteor hammer and slammed into Sato, who was charging towards him.

"Bang!"

The two collided, and Sato was thrown backward by the enormous impact, cracks appearing on his rock armor.

"asshole!"

Seeing his formation instantly disrupted, Shou was enraged. He charged forward again, his fists pounding out repeatedly, creating a series of violent explosions in the air.

"Explosion Release: Chain Explosion!"

Jiraiya did not choose to take the hit head-on from the Explosion Release. Instead, he nimbly rolled backward and used the terrain to move around.

"Earth Release: Great River of Earth!"

From a distance, Watanabe manipulated the terrain, attempting to turn the land beneath Jiraiya's feet into a mudslide that would wash it away.

"Your earth-escape technique isn't even as powerful as Nagato playing in the mud."

Jiraiya sneered, and while still in mid-air, he slammed his hands down on the ground.

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

boom!

The difference in chakra quality was clearly revealed at this moment.

What was originally just flowing mud instantly transformed into a bottomless, enormous swamp, so vast that it completely covered the Tuliu River.

"What?!"

Watanabe, who was controlling the earth-flowing river, suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground, and his own technique was instead swallowed up by the opponent's technique.

The viscous swamp had an amazing suction force, and it instantly submerged his knees.

"I...I can't move!"

"Then don't move, just lie down obediently!"

Jiraiya landed on a piece of driftwood in the swamp, took a deep breath, and his chest swelled up.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"

No, it wasn't just fire.

At the moment he spewed out flames, he also mixed in a large mouthful of toad oil that he had long stored in his body.

Oil fuels the fire, and the fire is amplified by the wind.

"boom--!!!"

A massive fire dragon roared out, instantly engulfing Watanabe, who was trapped in the swamp.

"Ahhhhh!"

A piercing scream echoed across the battlefield. Watanabe was instantly engulfed in flames, struggling in the swamp for a few moments before ceasing to move.

"Watanabe!"

Sato, his eyes bloodshot with rage, charged towards Jiraiya from the edge of the swamp, stepping on the still-soft rocks.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"A beast that has lost its mind is the easiest to deal with."

Jiraiya watched the approaching enemy with a calm expression.

He didn't form any hand seals; he simply concentrated his chakra in his palms and the soles of his feet.

Just as the rock ninja's rock fist came down, Jiraiya sidestepped, ducked, and elbowed him.

The movements were fluid and fast, almost too fast to see clearly.

"Thump!"

A heavy elbow strike landed hard on Iwa ninja's abdomen.

Even with the rock armor protecting him, the Jonin was still hit so hard that his eyeballs bulged out and he vomited stomach acid.

Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya grabbed his arm, used his waist to deliver a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

"boom!"

The Jonin Sato, renowned for his taijutsu, was slammed into the Swamp of the Dead, with only his head sticking out, and he lost consciousness.

In just a few minutes.

Three highly coordinated elite Jonin, one dead, one injured, and one unconscious.

In the center of the battlefield, only Shou remained, standing alone.

His Explosion Release chakra was still shimmering in his hands, but his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"So this is... the legendary Sannin?"

Looking at the white-haired man standing calmly in the middle of the swamp, Shou thought, "He truly lives up to his reputation."

Even without using any world-destroying forbidden techniques, the combination of these basic ninjutsu and the suppressive power of their taijutsu left the elite members of Iwagakure completely helpless.

Jiraiya slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the last hunter.

He shook the dust off his hands, the smile on his lips faded slightly, and he became even more dangerous.

"The miscellaneous fish have been cleaned up."

Jiraiya's voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Next, it's our turn."

Hunting gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually turning mad.

"Jiraiya! Don't underestimate me! I'll be the one to win in the end!"

"Because I am—the Hunter of Explosion Release!"
