【boom!】

Kaguya Kimimaro's completely liberated power caused most of Konoha to feel a terrifying tremor coming from the venue area at this moment.

No,

This does not seem to be enough to describe it as complete liberation.

Rather, it is a complete catharsis that devotes its last vitality!

Minutes and seconds!!

The time he has left,

It can only be calculated using the shortest unit of time!!

【so,】

"Hurry up and show me the will of fire you have implemented."

"Otherwise, the Konoha you want to protect will be destroyed in my hands."

The cold words came out of Kaguya Kimimaro's mouth, and there was no hint of joking in the eyes that looked directly at Metkai.

And it was at this moment that its power, which had reached the pinnacle of mankind, once again reached the dimension of a god that was untouchable by mortals!

【Boom!】

The ground shatters,

Wall cracks,

The gate collapsed,

The field sinks,

In just a moment, the arena, which had remained basically intact during the war, was completely reduced to a messy wasteland under the power of its pure chakra!

In one breath, the haze of panic and death exploded to the extreme in the hearts of the survivors.

It is under such a general environment,

Jiraiya, who was named the Sannin of Konoha by the former demigods of the Land of Rain and was praised and sung by countless Konoha ninjas, residents, and children, began to become a little abnormal.

Watching the gradually crumbling field, listening to the shrill and panicked pleas for help from all around.

His even breathing gradually became faster, and the nerves in his whole body were pulling wildly. His rough palms were clenching, loosening, clenching, and loosening in a constant cycle. His wide-open mouth wanted to roar and scream, but it seemed like it was stuck in his throat.

No sound could be made.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to prevent the disaster that might happen, to respond, to rescue the innocent spectators and residents who called him 'Jiraiya-sama'.

However, the pair of evil eyes that gurgled with blood, and the illusory clock that extended the minutes and seconds infinitely, made him, a mortal, even move his body seem extravagant in this absolutely abiding and ruthless realm of time.

Finally, in the endless and powerless struggle, he slowly loosened his clenched fists, and the cycle stopped.

At the same time, a series of deep self-questions and answers began to sound in his heart:

【What on earth have I been doing these years?】

[Looking for the so-called son of destiny who can change the status quo of the ninja world and achieve mutual understanding among ninjas? 】

【But, have you found it? 】

【No,】

[For decades, I have traveled to every corner of the mainland and still haven’t found it!]

[Besides, even if we find it, what will happen? 】

[Anyway, the changes brought about by the Child of Destiny will eventually be overturned and covered by the owner of those eyes. 】

【So why do I continue to search so hard?】

Beliefs were slowly overturned.

The abandoned calls for help also became clear at this moment. They were crying, 'Jiraiya-sama, please save us', 'Jiraiya-sama, please stop this battle!'

【But I'm sorry,】

【Really sorry.】

[With my current strength, it is simply not enough to carry out rescue.]

【Even if it is a blocked life.】

"Aren't you going to continue?"

"Does your will of fire stop here?"

"Then, I'll take action."

Kaguya Kimimaro's eyes were cold and he was determined to do what he said.

The moment when words fall,

From the moment it established its foothold, the entire area seemed like a huge earth dragon rolling crazily in all directions, and the raging red chakra like flames seemed to melt the entire world.

"No,"

"don't want,"

"you win,"

"I admit that you won!!"

A look of panic appeared in Metkai's eyes,

The sluggish attitude also collapsed at this moment, and the voice became urgently pleading.

This is not because he really wants to show weakness, nor is it because he does not dare to sacrifice his life to open the final eighth gate.

But simply worrying about the consequences!

The collision of eight gates with eight gates,

The power that bursts out will make the entire arena cease to exist!!

A truly strong person may have a chance to escape, but more innocent bystanders and residents will be buried in this unprovoked disaster, including several of his beloved disciples!

Yaoyin Village may not care about such consequences,

But, he can't!

We cannot disregard the lives of all ordinary people just because of this moment of confrontation!!

But this kind of prayer is still too late.

"Corpse Vein·Dance of Early Fern."

【ah--,】

The shrill screams exploded after an interval of one breath, and continued.

How to describe this situation?

indescribable,

because,

Even the calm Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but tense up suddenly at such a voice, and his suddenly trembling pupils didn't dare to look back.

However, compared to the 'good luck' who was facing away, Jiraiya could see everything here.

The boundary of the field of vision is cut off by numerous bone spurs suddenly arranged horizontally;

‘Pa-ta, pa-ta’, bright red blood falls like rain;

The 'continuous fire' that was raging and burning a second ago was completely reduced to a cold corpse on the bone spurs at this moment;

There are survivors who are either lucky or unlucky. They are numbly using their hands to free themselves from the bone spurs that penetrate them;

Vaguely, he seemed to hear, 'Why don't you come to us, Jiraiya-sama?' and 'Jiraiya-sama, what are you doing!'

That crazy voice was like an invisible evil spirit, tearing at his soul and will without any scruples.

"At the end of the day,"

"A world where ninjas can understand each other will never come true."

A murmur came out of Jiraiya's mouth subconsciously.

He is in purgatory, feeling the pain,

It is no longer possible to long for the future as before.

if,

I can be stronger,

if,

In the past few decades, he had not spent it looking for the so-called son of destiny, but he had spent it practicing immortality.

So, can I stop all this instead of just becoming a spectator?
