The situation was completely reversed the moment Tsunade unleashed her astonishing power.
Seeing his younger brother's mangled corpse, Muryu's mind went blank. Then, boundless anger and fear swept over him.
"Uryu!"
He let out a mournful roar, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.
He gave up his fight with Orochimaru and turned to charge at Tsunade, to avenge his brother.
However, a figure was faster than him.
It was Jiraiya.
With a roar of anger, Jiraiya delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, viciously sweeping towards Muryu.
Caught off guard, Muryu could only block with his arm.
Thump!
With a dull thud, Muryu felt as if his arm had been struck by an enraged rhinoceros. An unimaginable force was transmitted, sending his entire body flying sideways.
"How is this possible?!"
Muryu stabilized himself in mid-air, looking at his arm in disbelief.
His arm was already red and swollen from the immense impact, and there were even some slight bone fractures.
How did this white-haired brat's strength suddenly become so great?!
What he didn't know was that at this moment, Jiraiya's chakra was boiling at an unprecedented rate, fueled by his anger and his intense will to protect Tsunade.
More importantly, his innate Sage body, which had a natural affinity for nature energy, was unconsciously activated at this moment.
Barely perceptible traces of nature energy were surging into his body, combining with his chakra and causing his strength to skyrocket in an instant!
"Bastard! I'll kill you all!"
Muryu was completely enraged. His hands flew through seals.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
A massive torrent of water gathered before him, forming a huge waterfall that came crashing down on Jiraiya and Tsunade.
He intended to completely drown them with this move.
"Don't even think about it!"
Jiraiya also formed hand seals, his speed more than twice as fast as before.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
A giant fireball, several times larger than before, spewed from his mouth, carrying the momentum to burn all things as it met the waterfall.
Boom—!
The second collision of water and fire produced an even more violent roar than before.
A massive amount of steam, like a tsunami, swept through the entire forest.
The originally dense poisonous mist was instantly evaporated and diluted by the impact of this high-temperature steam, disappearing without a trace.
The Kijin Brothers' greatest home-field advantage was completely destroyed by Jiraiya's angry blow!
"Well done! Jiraiya!"
Tsunade praised him. At the same time, her healing was complete.
The poison in Jiraiya's body had been completely removed by her.
"Next, it's our turn to counterattack!" Tsunade's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"No."
A cold voice interrupted them.
It was Orochimaru.
He had, at some point, come to their side. His golden, serpentine pupils calmly analyzed the situation.
"His Water Release is very strong, and he seems to be able to freely control the form of the water."
"Then what should we do?" Jiraiya asked.
"You two, pin him down from the front," a calculating glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. "Create an opportunity for me. An opportunity for me to get close."
Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a look, both understanding their partner's intention.
"Alright!" they both replied.
"Go!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade, from the left and right, charged towards Muryu again.
"Monstrous Strength Fist!"
Facing their pincer attack, a ferocious smile appeared on Muryu's face.
"Good! Let me show you my true power!"
"Secret Technique: Dance of the Water Moon!"
He formed hand seals, and the moisture in the surrounding air began to converge towards him in a strange way.
In an instant, dozens of crystal-clear mirrors made of water appeared around his body, enveloping himself and the charging Jiraiya and Tsunade.
This was Muryu's ultimate secret technique, similar to Haku's Water Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, but even more bizarre and difficult to defend against.
Within these water mirrors, his figure could move freely and launch fatal attacks from any angle.
"Not good! It's a secret technique similar to space-time ninjutsu!"
Tsunade was alarmed. She threw a punch at a water mirror beside her.
However, the water mirror only rippled like water and then returned to its original state. Her monstrous strength was completely unable to shatter it.
"Hahaha, it's useless!"
Muryu's laughter came from all directions. "Within these water mirrors, how can you possibly perceive my existence?"
