Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"Are you saying you'd poison someone's grave?"

The rabbit-faced ninja blurted out, unable to suppress his astonishment.

What a cruel method. The person was already dead, yet you wouldn't even let them rest in peace?

"No, no, no. I dug up his grave instead."

Jiraiya shook his head and clarified, a grin tugging at his lips.

The rabbit-faced ninja's mouth twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Jiraiya to be even more ruthless than he imagined. Without hesitation, he admitted he'd learned something new today.

"Fire Style: Flame Bullet!"

Jiraiya formed hand seals, and an intense surge of fire chakra gathered in his mouth. Five blazing fireballs shot out, each radiating searing heat as they hurtled toward the rabbit-faced ninja.

After days of rigorous training, Jiraiya had mastered the ability to unleash five Flame Bullets simultaneously—a limit for the technique, but not for him.

If not for the low rank and limited potential of Flame Bullet, Jiraiya believed he could produce even more fireballs.

He wasn't planning on concealing his strength, either. With the system bound to him, his power would inevitably grow at an astonishing rate. Holding back would only invite suspicion. Instead, it was better to boldly show his talent and let everyone in Konoha know he was a genius.

Besides, if he kept his abilities hidden, how could he enjoy showing off?

To Jiraiya, flaunting his strength was one of life's greatest pleasures. A life without it would be utterly meaningless.

"Impressive! A Chūnin capable of releasing five Flame Bullets at once... Truly remarkable. But against me, that won't cut it. Prepare to beg for mercy!"

The rabbit-faced ninja was no stranger to boasting either. He formed hand seals and suddenly disappeared from sight.

"Boom!"

The five fireballs crashed to the ground, creating a series of deafening explosions. Five charred craters marred the earth, their edges scorched into glass by the intense heat.

Jiraiya scanned his surroundings, only to find the rabbit-faced ninja had vanished from view. Without wasting a moment, he quickly formed new seals and exhaled sharply. Threads of wind chakra spread out from his position, extending into the area around him.

From their brief exchange, Jiraiya had discerned that the rabbit-faced ninja excelled in stealth and ambush tactics. To defeat such an opponent, all he needed to do was pinpoint their location.

Failing that, he'd be forced onto the defensive, whittled down bit by bit until he was defeated.

In the world of Naruto, legends like Uchiha Shisui had carved their reputations with unmatched speed and the art of the Body Flicker Technique.

The rabbit-faced ninja before him was no Shisui, but his abilities demanded caution nonetheless.

Using the combination of wind chakra and his Sage Body's sensory capabilities, Jiraiya soon locked onto the ninja's location—behind him. A blade gleamed in the moonlight as it arced toward him in a diagonal slash.

Without turning, Jiraiya swung a shuriken backward, intercepting the strike.

"Clang!"

The clash of metal rang out, accompanied by a shower of sparks.

Jiraiya refrained from drawing his Lightning Flame Blade. Using such a high-grade weapon against this opponent would feel excessive. Instead, he intended to use the rabbit-faced ninja to sharpen his ninjutsu and gain more combat experience.

'What incredible sensory abilities,' the rabbit-faced ninja thought, startled. When his ambush failed, he immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique to retreat, hiding once more to search for another opportunity.

'Could that wind chakra technique be... Wind Style: Wind Web?'

The ninja frowned as he felt the wind chakra threads permeating the air around him. He decided to test it, unwilling to believe such a low-level sensory technique could track him.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Forming seals, he exhaled a violent gust of wind, its sharp edges slicing through the chakra threads around him.

"Wind Style: Wind Web!"

Jiraiya wasn't fazed by the disruption. He calmly recast the technique, spreading the wind chakra once more.

With his immense chakra reserves, Jiraiya had no fear of a battle of attrition.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

The rabbit-faced ninja repeated his counter.

"Wind Style: Wind Web!"

And so, the two continued their contest. After several exchanges, the rabbit-faced ninja was visibly struggling, sweat dripping from his brow as his breath grew labored.

'How is this amount of chakra possible for a Chūnin? This is insane!'

Frustrated, the rabbit-faced ninja cursed internally. He was supposed to be the Special Jōnin here!

If this kept up, he'd be completely drained and at Jiraiya's mercy.

"You're already worn out? How disappointing. I feel bad for your wife," Jiraiya taunted, noticing the ninja's exhaustion.

The words hit a sore spot. The rabbit-faced ninja's wife often complained about his... lack of endurance. This was a humiliation he couldn't bear.

Fuming, he charged at Jiraiya with his blade, abandoning stealth for a direct assault.

"Clang! Clang!"

The clash of steel resounded as sparks illuminated the dark night.

Despite the ninja's incredible speed, Jiraiya, through rigorous training and the strength of his Sage Body, managed to keep up.

"Wind Style: Wind Slash!"

The ninja coated his blade with wind chakra, enhancing its sharpness.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

Jiraiya slammed his hands onto the ground, summoning a wall of earth to block the attack.

"Boom!"

The wall shattered under the enhanced blade, debris scattering everywhere.

Seizing the moment, Jiraiya leaped onto a tree, hurling shuriken from above.

After their prolonged exchange, Jiraiya had a clear understanding of his own strength. It was time to bring this battle to an end.
