Chapter 331: Chapter 331: The Rampaging Thunder
The black rod pierced through Jiraiya's heart.
It went straight through his chest, blood spurting out instantly, exploding in the air to form a crimson flower.
At the same time, Jiraiya stood frozen in place.
Obito also passed through Jiraiya's body.
At this moment, Sasuke noticed something was wrong.
In an instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived by Jiraiya's side.
Amidst the roaring thunder, Sasuke caught Jiraiya as he was about to fall.
Looking at the blood gushing from Jiraiya's chest, Sasuke felt a sense of helplessness.
In the end, was he still unable to change Jiraiya's fate?
This guy... In the original story, he died because he didn't understand Nagato's Six Paths of Pain.
And now, he died because he didn't know about Obito's Kamui intangibility.
It seems!
Jiraiya's death was unavoidable.
"Sasuke..."
Jiraiya looked at Sasuke, as if he wanted to say something.
Sasuke raised his hand and infused chakra into Jiraiya's body, but even with Sasuke's chakra, it was useless for Jiraiya now.
His heart was instantly destroyed, and such a fatal injury was beyond Sasuke's ability to heal.
Even though Sasuke possessed Yin-Yang Release, he currently couldn't create an entirely new heart.
If the damage were only the size of an eyeball, it would be manageable, but the heart was much larger than an eye.
"Return... to Konoha!"
Hearing this, Sasuke was momentarily stunned.
Return to Konoha!
It seemed Jiraiya also thought Sasuke had left Konoha for some other reason, but Sasuke's reason for leaving was truly simple.
Staying in Konoha wouldn't allow him to grow stronger.
Just the idea of challenging the Five Kage Villages alone—forget whether Konoha would support it or not.
Even if they did, it would bring a lot of trouble.
There would undoubtedly be voices of doubt, so why stay in Konoha if it was so troublesome?
There was no need for such complications; it was simpler to just leave Konoha.
Sasuke looked at the dying Jiraiya.
"Sorry, Jiraiya, I don't want to return to Konoha!"
Hearing this before his death, Jiraiya seemed unwilling to accept it and wanted to say more.
But his breath had already faded.
Jiraiya was dead!
Sasuke sighed helplessly, raised his hand, and sealed Jiraiya into a scroll.
Then he slowly stood up and glanced at Obito.
"Nice teamwork!"
Now Sasuke understood why Jiraiya had suddenly rushed toward him.
He must have seen Obito trying to attack him.
But Obito in his intangible state couldn't harm him. However, if Obito had canceled his intangibility the moment he was about to touch Sasuke,
then it was indeed possible to severely injure him.
It seemed Sasuke had relied too much on his sharp senses. Because he didn't feel anything, he had let his guard down.
Jiraiya and Obito had taught him a lesson.
Even with superhuman sensory abilities, one still needed to be wary of attacks that couldn't be sensed.
The hint of arrogance in Sasuke's eyes gradually faded.
His expression became clear, solemn, serious, and focused!
The change in his gaze also shifted Sasuke's aura.
Looking at the Six Paths of Pain and Obito before him,
Sasuke raised his hand and drew the Kusanagi Sword.
"I won't be careless this time!"
Hearing this, both of their expressions visibly stiffened, and Nagato's gaze grew much darker.
Then, staring at Sasuke, the Deva Path and Human Path of Pain immediately attacked.
"Almighty Push!"
The Deva Path coordinated and launched an attack, locking onto Sasuke's body.
However, the moment the gravitational force acted on Sasuke, lightning erupted from his body.
The roaring thunder sounded, and the Kusanagi Sword in his hand gleamed brightly.
A condensed black lightning shot out instantly!
'Chidori Sharp Spear'
Swish! With a single slash, the incoming Asura Path was instantly pierced.
Similarly, the blade stabbed through its heart, and the Asura Path lost its combat ability instantly.
But the Human Path had already charged forward, and just as it was about to be caught in the Deva Path's gravitational pull,
the Deva Path canceled its ability.
The Human Path's fist slammed heavily toward Sasuke's back.
Sasuke didn't even glance behind him.
'Susanoo!'
Instantly, a surge of purple light formed a skeletal structure, blocking the Human Path's fist.
Bang!!
At the same time as he was hit,
the lightning flowing through Sasuke's hand erupted again.
It surged along the Kusanagi Sword.
With a quick reverse turn, Sasuke thrust the blade toward the Human Path behind him.
The moment the sword was drawn, the Human Path was also dealt with by Sasuke.
Now, the remaining Paths were the Deva Path, Animal Path, and Preta Path.
Three Paths.
Even with Obito added to the mix, it was only slightly more troublesome for Sasuke.
Especially Obito—dealing with him wouldn't be so easy.
Unless...
Sasuke suddenly raised his hand.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Boom!!!
Summoning Jutsu?
Using a summoning jutsu at this moment, as a top-tier fighter, Sasuke clearly knew what he was doing.
Summoned creatures were powerful allies for ninjas.
They were often used to assist in battle or buy time, and they were extremely useful.
But did Sasuke need assistance now? Or was he trying to buy time?
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Boom!
Instantly, a wooden dragon formed from entwined vines coiled to Sasuke's right, accompanied by a cloud of white smoke.
The summoned creatures, Aoda and Manda, appeared!
Two giant snakes, plus one wooden dragon.
Three massive beings now stood before them. Nagato, controlling Yahiko, glanced at Obito.
Neither of them knew what Sasuke was planning, but it was clear that the attack Sasuke was about to unleash would be... absolutely devastating!
"Lightning Style: Endless Lightning Pool!"
Boom!
In an instant, lightning surged from all directions, gathering around Sasuke.
In a flash, a massive pool of lightning formed.
The speed at which the lightning gathered left both of them dumbfounded.
Bolts of lightning came one after another, without any gaps.
Dense black lightning waves, one after another, emitted a terrifying aura that even Obito felt wary of.
Once this lightning erupted,
the range of its impact would likely...
But the Preta Path could absorb ninjutsu attacks, so there was no need to...
Bang!
Suddenly, from the direction of the Preta Path, the wooden dragon abruptly bit down and crushed the Preta Path.
Watching the incredibly swift and powerful wooden dragon,
Obito's heart twitched...
'This is going to be troublesome...'
He turned to look at Yahiko. If this fight continued, it was likely that... today... both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Either death or severe injury—neither side would come out unscathed.
If that were the case...
Sasuke stared intently at Obito and the Deva Path.
'Let's try it! The last time I developed this, it didn't succeed. Let's see how it works now!'
'Lightning... Rise!!!'
Boom!
Crackle!
Zzzz...
A storm of lightning erupted violently!!!.
