The Jiraiya in the original series likely never found the true balance point in Sage Mode, which made his activation speed unusually slow and caused the toad-like transformations in his body. It also placed an enormous strain on him physically.
Now, Jiraiya understood why the original version of himself couldn't achieve a perfect Sage Mode. His body simply couldn't withstand the burden of achieving the true balance point.
If not for the terrifying regenerative abilities granted by...

"This speed is just unbelievable," Fukasaku remarked, his voice filled with shock.
Just moments ago, he had speculated that even with Jiraiya's talents, it would take at least a month for him to sense the natural energy around him. Yet, in the blink of an eye, not only had Jiraiya managed to sense it, but he had also begun drawing it in. The rapid progress was almost unnatural.
"As expected of someone with a Sage Body—his talent is monstrous," Fukasaku muttered under his breath,...

"Jiraiya-boy, it's been a long time since someone managed to master the Sage Arts of Mount Myōboku. Sage techniques are extremely difficult to learn, so you'd better prepare yourself mentally. They're nothing like other ninjutsu that can be learned with relative ease—they demand a great deal of time and effort," Fukasaku, the Toad Sage, said to Jiraiya.
This was his way of giving Jiraiya a heads-up.
Jiraiya had always been able to master the techniques of Mount Myōboku with ea...

Golden chains shot out, extending rapidly like dragons, winding toward Gamabunta.
Sensing the danger, Gamabunta wasn't about to stand idle. He drew the massive blade at his side, spinning midair to slash at the golden chains.
Clang!
Although the chains were formed from chakra, they were incredibly sturdy. Gamabunta's blade struck them, creating a metallic clash and sparking on impact.
Despite Gamabunta's skill with the blade, the sheer number of chains—each ...

Half a month later.
On the western defensive line of Konohagakure, thousands of shinobi clashed in fierce battle. A man with spiky pineapple-shaped hair stood at the front, continuously issuing commands.
"All units, form the formation I laid out earlier—Earth, Fire, and Lightning users, establish a three-pronged attack!" he bellowed to the surrounding Konoha shinobi. "Earth Release users will handle defense in teams of three, Fire Release users focus on large-sc...

The front lines of Konohagakure had suffered a crushing defeat, and the supreme commander, Senju Momoka, was on the brink of death. The entire frontline camp was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. They had sealed off all information to the outside world and fortified their position, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving without strict orders. If not for Senju Momoka's personal decree, neither Kakuzu nor Sakumo would have been allowed inside.
As for why Momoka had given such an order...

Kakuzu wondered if Bunpuku really had no fear of death. His response to Kakuzu was simple:
"Everyone who comes into this world has their own mission. I'm just doing what I must."
With that, Bunpuku stopped speaking and closed his eyes, silently reciting a mantra.
Kakuzu chuckled softly. Everyone had their beliefs. In the original tale, Shukaku once remarked that Bunpuku embodied the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths. Perhaps Bunpuku truly was a man of boundless compassion.

Behind Kakuzu, the black tendrils of his Earth Grudge Fear unfurled, electricity crackling ominously as a storm of Lightning Release surged from the mask on his back. The attack shot directly toward Shukaku's feet, crackling with violent energy and splashing water everywhere.
Though Shukaku wasn't defeated outright, the searing pain spreading across his sandy body made him howl in fury.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu unleashed his Fire Release and Wind Release techniques toward Shamon.

The strongest, fastest, and most explosive of them all, Tsunade was the first to launch an attack.

A flash of green light streaked through the air as Tsunade's chakra-infused foot came crashing down toward Jigen's head like a meteor.
"Tch, annoying ant!" Jigen muttered irritably, stepping back half a pace. A black rod appeared out of thin air, gripped firmly in both hands as he raised it to block the strike.

The moment they collided, dozens of Iwagakure shinobi were sent flying into the air.
Uchiha Mirai charged forward like an unstoppable force, plowing through any ninja who dared to stand in his path. Those who blocked him were mercilessly knocked aside, their bodies hurled away as if they were weightless.
Once he was deep within the ranks of the Iwagakure forces, attacks rained down on him from all directions.

Feeling the overwhelming surge of chakra coursing through him, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile.
With this, his chakra reserves were almost comparable to a tailed beast, turning him into a walking ninjutsu artillery. Wherever he went, ninjutsu could follow in waves, without a hint of worry about running out of chakra.
More than the sheer abundance of chakra, the incredible recovery speed alone could sustain him through the use of any technique.

The Reaper Death Seal was undeniably powerful, but its price was equally steep—it required sacrificing one's soul to the Shinigami. This sealing technique was essentially a mutual destruction jutsu.
I wonder if the system will ever offer a solution to the drawbacks of this technique, Jiraiya pondered. If the system could remove the sole downside of the Reaper Death Seal and make it usable as a standard jutsu, it would be an incredible asset.

After the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, the members of the Uzumaki Clan scattered across the world, forced to live in hiding.
Revealing their identities meant risking relentless pursuit, as the great nations still coveted their powerful sealing techniques.

In the past, she had even suggested to the village that they take in some of the surviving Uzumaki.

Uzumaki Mito was already advanced in age, and maintaining the seal within her body had become a tremendous burden.
After all, the Nine-Tails was the most fearsome of the Tailed Beasts. Sealing it was no simple task.

You sure left in a hurry.
If Mitokado Homura hadn't left, Jiraiya would have seized the opportunity to mock him a little more. He wasn't worried about offending Homura—most of Homura's authority came directly from Hiruzen Sarutobi. If Homura tried to make trouble for Jiraiya, Hiruzen would undoubtedly intervene.
Of course, Homura wasn't foolish enough to push his luck. He knew better than to trip up Jiraiya, especially now, when Jiraiya was regarded as one of Hiruzen's ...

The severed remains of the snakes, along with their blood, were carefully collected by Orochimaru.

Jiraiya and his team weren't blindly chasing the Sunagakure ninja—they had a plan.
Wrapped around Orochimaru's right wrist was a small snake, one of the countless summoning snakes. While some excelled in combat, others specialized in tracking. The snake coiled on Orochimaru's wrist belonged to the latter category, capable of detecting the faint scent left in the air by the retreating Sunagakure ninja.
