Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 174 Jiraiya's Techniques

Hearing Asuma's exclamation, Kyosuke, who was looking at the field, also frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

Kyosuke actually had some impression of Jiraiya; it seemed he had a very unique fighting style and was quite powerful.

However, instead of challenging himself, Mimori challenged Jiriku, which is different from the plan. It is probably Kazuma's request.

Beside Kyosuke, Shisui activated his Sharingan again, wanting to know Jiraiya's plans.

The others were also watching Di Lu intently, wondering if he had gone mad.

Only Kazuma knew more about it, and he wore a serious expression.

The reason why everyone reacted so strongly was because Di Lu's behavior was very strange.

As soon as the battle began, Mikami gripped a kunai and charged toward Jiraiya at an incredible speed, but Jiraiya stood still, neither forming hand seals nor drawing his weapon.

He simply stretched his hands slightly forward, with his left hand held upright in front of his chest and his right hand pressed down, posing in a manner similar to a Buddhist mudra.

Then nothing happened, leaving everyone completely confused.

Abe Morikazu's ruthlessness is well-known. Does this monk really expect to use Buddhist teachings to reform him and make him lay down his weapons?!

Some people grinned maliciously: "As expected of the monks of the Fire Temple, their Buddhist teachings are truly profound. Even in death, they are still so polite."

"Heh, how could we, mere tools of killing, possibly understand the profound Buddhist teachings of others?"

"This might be the legendary Immovable Zen, hehehe, this is what they mean by 'immovable as a mountain'."

There are many conflicts and preferences among ninjas, and many people simply dislike Jiraiya's solemn and aloof demeanor.

We're all murderers, what are you pretending to be noble for, you monk!

Therefore, they all spoke ill of each other.

In the blink of an eye, Mi Shou was in front of Ji Lu, and thrust out his kunai straight at Ji Lu's heart, but Ji Lu remained motionless like a stone statue.

"What kind of chakra is this?"

Suddenly, Zhishui exclaimed in surprise, and then saw a golden light shine behind Dilu, revealing a golden Guanyin statue.

The Guanyin statue appears both real and unreal, sitting serenely on a lotus platform with hands clasped together and eyes slightly closed.

"Playing tricks!"

Mi Shou had already reached Ji Riku, and it was too late to retreat. So he let out a roar and continued to attack, and the kunai was about to pierce Ji Riku.

call out!

Mi Shou suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if he had been hit by a powerful, invisible attack, and was sent flying.

boom.

Mi Shou flew high into the air like a cannonball, then crashed heavily to the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this? I've never seen it before. Can chakra be used like this? I didn't see Jiraiya's hand seals either."

"As expected of the Fire Temple with its long history, it actually possesses such a secret technique!"

"Is this ninjutsu or taijutsu? I can't tell. I hope Abe Moriichi won't be defeated easily. We need to get more information out of Jiraiya."

The crowd in the stands was buzzing with discussion. Shisui, with his Sharingan, saw more and in greater detail, so he spoke more as well.

"The human body is limited by flesh and bones, and physical techniques have upper limits on speed and strength, and are also easily detected. However, this kind of chakra attack is between the tangible and the intangible, and is not limited by the human body. As long as there is enough chakra, there are almost no upper limits on speed and strength. It is also more secretive and difficult to detect the attack trajectory, making it very difficult to defend against."

Seeing this, Asuma breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, Jiraiya should win in this case."

Feeling relieved, Asuma turned to Kyosuke and said with a smile, "Kyosuke, you misjudged him this time; you almost went bankrupt."

Kyosuke snorted, "Want to continue the bet? I'm betting on Abe Moriichi to win again. This time, I'll bet half a year's worth of barbecue!"

Asuma was taken aback and asked in bewilderment, "Do you know something? How can you be so sure that the land will lose?"

Kyosuke raised an eyebrow and said, "It's simple. If I win, then it's fine. If I lose, hehe, I won't acknowledge this bet. There are three people here, and Shisui is my man. If the two of us say together that there was no bet, then there wasn't."

The plan went awry, and Yamori's opponent became Jiraiya, so it's uncertain whether Yamori can beat Kyosuke.

After all, Mi Shou needs to hide his identity and cannot show his full strength.

To outsiders, although Mikami won the battle against Asuma, he must have exhausted a lot of chakra and stamina. If Jiraiya was very strong, it would be normal for Mikami to lose.

Perhaps after demonstrating some impressive strength, Mikami was defeated on the slope.

Therefore, Kyosuke is truly prepared to cheat, and he's not just saying it.

Asuma's expression froze. He thought to himself, "So this is how it works?" Asuma was really not used to Kyosuke's unconventional thinking and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Shisui is young, shy, and kind-hearted.

Hearing the captain act so brazenly, he looked somewhat embarrassed, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, not daring to look at Kyosuke or Asuma.

Mi Shou landed on the ground, his body covered in cracks, and soon turned into a lump of dirt.

"Using a clone to test me? Abe Moriichi, our strengths are about the same. You can't defeat me, so let's call it a draw."

Di Lu was also kind-hearted, thinking that neither side could defeat the other, so they shouldn't fight to the death.

If it really comes down to a fierce battle, Jiraiya, who is fighting for the first time, will definitely have the advantage over Mikami, who has fought once before. Mikami will be the one who suffers the loss.

However, his suggestion was opposed by almost everyone.

You just showed off your skills and now the battle is over. How are we supposed to gather information about you?

Therefore, discussions arose from the stands, mostly sarcastic remarks about Lu's cowardice and timidity.

Di Lu was calm and composed, and of course, he was not moved by these words. He simply turned around silently and looked at Mi Shou behind him.

Mikami, of course, refused. He didn't care about winning or losing; he just needed to continue demonstrating his strength to gain the daimyo's attention.

Once you've shown your true strength, winning or losing doesn't matter; a draw is fine too.

At this moment, Kazuma gently waved to Mikami, meaning to continue the fight and test Jiriku's strength.

Oh, right, Kazuma also gave me a mission, so I absolutely can't agree to it.

"A draw doesn't exist in my dictionary!"

After Mi Shou refused, he formed hand seals and used Earth Release.

Since Jiraiya's moves seem to have a limited range, we'll focus on long-range attacks.

Jiraiya watched as Mikami formed hand seals but did not stop him, so Mikami's ninjutsu attack was very relaxed.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!

The ground in front of Mi Shou was constantly gathering soil and rocks, forming a huge earth dragon that rushed towards Mi Shou with great momentum.

"Come to welcome Thousand Hands Killer."

Seeing that Mi Shou still wanted to fight, Ji Lu sighed helplessly, then his expression hardened, and he decided to use his strength to shatter Mi Shou's delusional belief in victory.

Behind the seated Guanyin statue, arms appeared, forming the image of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

Just as the earth dragon reached the ground, those chakra fists instantly attacked.

Bang bang bang!

The earth dragon's body suffered an unbearable blow and suddenly exploded, sending rocks of all sizes flying.

Between the flying rocks, one by one, the Mikami appeared, rushing against the rocks towards the land.
