Naruto : Sequence 0 Visionary

"Here it comes, both of you Sages!"

Jiraiya said in a low voice, bringing his hands together in a dramatic gesture: "Now, coming to the stage, the Sage of Mount Myoboku, the great hero Jiraiya!"

The natural energy flowing through him made his already strong body grow even more muscular and imposing, completely defying the typical ninja image of being agile and slim.

Not only that, compared to Minato standing beside him, Jiraiya's transformation was much more dramatic, with webbed feet and hands resembling a frog's.

"Shut up!"

"You're so loud!"

The two toads standing on his shoulders punched him in the face, one on each side.

Jiraiya, squeezed between them, felt his head ring: "Uh, okay, I got it, Sages."

In the background, black dots seemed to appear, accompanied by an eerie silence.

The brief moment of silliness seemed to ease the tense atmosphere slightly.

"Is this guy really one of the Legendary Sannin?"

As Obito's doubt flickered through his mind,

Whoosh!

A flash of pale yellow light suddenly zipped past in front of him.

"I've been prepared for you!" Obito reacted quickly, swinging his arm to create a hurricane around his body: "Ice Storm!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Beautiful, dream-like snowflakes danced in the air, and a freezing gust of wind swept through.

In an instant, the temperature dropped to freezing, causing Minato to feel his limbs stiffen, his movements slowing down.

Out of the corner of his eye, Obito caught the slow movement of Minato, and a cold, sinister smile appeared on his face. His ankle twisted, his upper body turned, and his arm suddenly swelled several times, veins bulging like thick rebar. His fist came crashing down like a hammer.

The violent gusts of wind slammed toward Minato like a heavy truck.

Before the terrifying power could even reach him, it already deformed Minato's facial muscles from the pressure.

"Sage Technique: Needle Jizo!"

At the critical moment, white hair surged like a tide, wrapping around Minato, the strands hardening and gleaming like steel needles.

Boom!

Obito's punch didn't break the Needle Jizo defense. Instead, the hardened hair pierced through it.

"Sage Technique: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!" Jiraiya quickly formed hand signs, and his white hair grew wildly, entangling Obito within seconds: "Now, Minato!"

"Damn it, what is this strange energy?!"

Tied up, Obito tried to use his Wraith Form to break free, but he found that the energy clinging to his hair blocked the phasing ability of his soul.

Using his sharp, sturdy nails, he tore through the white hair binding him. Before he could catch his breath, a harsh, noisy song suddenly rang in his ears, and his mind instantly became hazy, as if he was being dragged into some strange environment.

"Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Singing!"

Two toads standing on Jiraiya's shoulders began croaking, sending out a mesmerizing sound from their throats.

At that moment, Minato took the chance, raising his hand to form a Rasengan, preparing to strike Obito. But suddenly, Obito grinned widely, his eyes clear—there was no sign of being affected by the illusion: "I forgot to tell you guys, Genjutsu doesn't work on me!"

The noisy croaks of the toads were nothing compared to the voice in his mind.

His sharp nails, like blades, instantly sliced through the air.

Flying Thunder God!

Minato vanished again, like an eel, impossible to catch.

But Obito wasn't about to let him go so easily. He used his 'Cursed Spirit Binding' technique, summoning a large number of special undead creatures. They surged forward like a dark, foul wind, viciously lunging at the fleeing Minato.

"Watch out, Minato!" Once again, the experienced Jiraiya stepped in front of his disciple, taking a deep breath. "I'll use oil—Sages, please lend me your strength!"

The black, foul wind filled with vengeful undead spirits swept toward them like deep malice, devouring everything in its path.

Meanwhile, the large ninja with a lion-like build and white hair spat out special oil from his mouth, while the two toads on his shoulders used Fire Style and Wind Style.

"Senjutsu: Goemon!"

The fire and hot oil instantly generated extreme heat, bursting into a raging inferno, like a surging tidal wave.

The flames, fueled by the wind, quickly became a sea of fire, engulfing everything with intense heat, as if to light up the entire night sky. The red glow erupted violently.

No matter how troublesome those vengeful spirits were, under the scorching fire filled with natural energy, they all turned to ash.

Obito's situation was even more miserable—his entire body was set on fire, and he let out a painful scream.

The person who was bound had a strong recovery ability, but after coming into contact with that strange oil, the flames seemed to cling to him like maggots on bone, impossible to extinguish. 

His recovery ability only made the situation worse, turning it into a constant torment.

But soon, the burning flames were extinguished by ice crystals. The vengeful spirits could produce large amounts of ice to a certain extent, saving his life.

"Such fast recovery, almost comparable to Tsunade," Jiraiya frowned slightly, but soon came up with a plan. Lowering his body, he instructed the two sages on his shoulders, "I'm going to try close combat. You two prepare the sealing jutsu."

In the next moment, the ground suddenly shattered.

Jiraiya, who had been motionless a second ago, was now like a cannonball, launching himself forward at extreme speed.

"He's fast!"

Unlike Minato, whose teleportation happened without warning, Jiraiya's movement was more like a high-speed train, charging forward with incredible velocity.

You could see it coming, but that didn't mean you could stop it.

Even with a body as tough as a zombie's, comparable to steel, under Jiraiya's sheer brutality, Obito was kicked hard in the stomach. 

The force made his insides churn, and he spat out a spray of blood. Just as he was about to counterattack, he saw a fist the size of a cooking pot flying straight at his forehead.

Obito quickly tilted his head to dodge the incoming fist, snarling with a ferocious expression, "Don't underestimate me!"

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, his cheek felt like it had been struck by a heavy punch.

The powerful force sent him flying, spinning in the air, and then smashing into the ground with a heavy thud before bouncing back up.

What just happened?

Obito was completely confused in his mind, not understanding why, after dodging the punch, he was still sent flying.

"Young Minato, that's the Frog Kata," Fukasaku, on Minato's shoulder, looked at him and said, "You've learned Sage Mode, but you need to practice the Frog Kata more when you have the time."

"Quit the chatter, old man!" Jiraiya didn't want to waste time. He quickly stuck out his tongue and wrapped it around the flying Obito, pulling him back with force. "Minato, it's up to you now!"

"Understood!"

Jiraiya laughed loudly, his five fingers igniting with chakra. As Obito flew toward him, he slammed his hand heavily onto Obito's abdomen. "Five Elements Sea!"

Obito was hit by the sealing technique, coughing up blood, but instead of being affected, his violent nature was triggered.

"You're asking for death!"

As he was about to speak, a pale yellow flash appeared again.

This time, the Rasengan hit him square in the back. The violent swirling energy within the Rasengan shattered his flesh and bones.

"AAHHH!"

The immense force sent Obito crashing into the ground.

Visible chakra spread out, ripping the earth apart, leaving deep spiral cracks, and a powerful shockwave surged outward.

"Teacher, the sealing technique doesn't work on him," Minato, standing nearby, exhaled sharply and quickly warned, "To defeat this guy, we have to kill him completely."

"In that case, let's use this!"

Jiraiya sneered and joined his hands together. "To the mighty toad of Mount Myoboku, no matter how powerful the enemy, they can be completely digested!"

Ninjutsu—Toad Mouth Bind!

The pink flesh walls writhed, and in an instant, the three were swallowed whole.

"Dammit!"

Obito cursed loudly, getting up and trying to run.

However, Jiraiya sneered again, pressing his palms together. "It's useless. You're already in the belly of the toad, there's no escape!"

The pink flesh walls seemed to sense an intruder, growing dozens of tentacles that chased after Obito.

"Pant... pant..."

Obito, running desperately, finally realized how troublesome the legendary "Sannins" could be when they were serious.

At this moment, he truly understood how terrifying they were.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Sealing Techniques—nearly every aspect of combat, they were perfect all-around ninjas, far more terrifying than Minato.

"Offend a sage, and still think you can run?!"

Jiraiya channeled more chakra, causing the toad's stomach to contract tighter.

Looking at the narrowing passage, surrounded by the pink walls of the stomach and the corrosive liquid seeping from them, Obito felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

In less than half a second, he inhaled deeply and shouted, "White Zetsu, save me—!"
