202 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger
🕑 Added 2025-12-15 06:15:01 +0000 UTCJiraiya and Orochimaru were both riding atop their towering summoning beasts, each seven or eight stories tall. Standing on the ground, Kairen felt his presence completely suppressed.
So he bit his finger, then formed hand seals on the ground: "Summoning Technique!"
"Bang!"
A soft puff of white smoke exploded in midair.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and even Uchiha Madara who was spying from afar narrowed their eyes, wanting to know what kind of summoning beast had signed a contract with Kairen.
"Mm~"
A black-and-white summoning beast about the height of a person appeared, holding bamboo shoots in its claws, sitting on the ground munching away happily.
"..."
The three were speechless — Kairen's summoning beast was actually a comedic character.
Kairen lightly hopped onto Wolon's furry back and kicked it.
Wolon gave him face, swallowing the bamboo shoot in one gulp; then it braced its four limbs against the ground as sharp fangs emerged.
"Roar—"
Wolon let out a roar, assuming a vicious, ferocious form. Facing off against the two massive summoning beasts, its aura did not fall behind at all.
Gamabunta spat a mouthful of smoke, the haze rolling down and engulfing Kairen and Wolon. He looked like some mafia boss.
"Kid, you sure are doing poorly! Even one of the smalest toads from Mount Myōboku is bigger than your summoning beast."
When the smoke cleared, Kairen stood on Wolon's back with his arms folded, his face calm like a still sea.
You must always control the atmosphere — as long as I'm not embarrassed, someone else will be.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
Manda opened its huge mouth, swallowing seven or eight corpses at once. It chewed lightly — crisp, still the familiar taste.
Manda's cold pupils looked downward: "Orochimaru, seriously?! You want me to deal with such a weak human? You're really pathetic."
Orochimaru smiled indifferently with an evil curl of his lips, sticking out his long tongue as he said to Kairen,
"Manda, be careful. Even Jiraiya and I don't have confidence dealing with him!"
"Oh…"
Manda turned its snake head, taking a more serious look at Kairen.
Though Manda spoke disdainfully about Orochimaru, deep down it acknowledged Orochimaru's abilities. Anyone who even Orochimaru found troublesome… what would they taste like?
Jiraiya stared sternly at Kairen. He had spent some time with Kairen's shadow clone and regarded him as a kindred spirit.
But their paths diverged.
Kairen's ninja way sought to completely deny the established order that the forefathers built. Jiraiya did not know what the future held…
But if Kairen were left unchecked, the entire ninja world would face great calamity.
He tried one last time to advise him:
"Kairen, you're too extreme. This world needs reforms like water, not destruction like fire.
"The old systems may be flawed, but cutting them down in one stroke will only cause people's hearts to collapse even more."
Kairen sneered. "Enough nonsense. Let me, Moku Kairen, see whether the two of the Legendary Sannin truly live up to their names!"
Moments ago he'd been fighting a bunch of muggles — his blood felt suppressed like in Boruto, not igniting at all.
Fighting strong shinobi — that is what truly makes the blood boil.
Before he even finished speaking, immense battle intent roared to life. The murky air was swept into a chaotic whirlwind.
Dying embers flickered out; two or three crow calls punctuated the heavy atmosphere.
"I'll go first, Orochimaru!"
A dark purple giant serpent lunged like a charging dragon, opening its massive devouring maw, ready to swallow Kairen and Wolon in one bite.
Kairen kicked Wolon's back. "Strategist, it's on you!"
"Mm~(||๐_๐)"
Wolon was speechless — it spun around and sprinted desperately, displaying the ancestral survival instincts.
"Roar—"
But the shadow above still pursued relentlessly. The bloody maw came closer and closer — he could even faintly smell human blood… and the cold stench of a reptile's breath.
Kairen chuckled lightly. Chakra surged through his whole body; a massive cloud of white smoke exploded, enveloping him and Wolon.
"Roar—"
A heavy dragon roar erupted like a shockwave, kicking up dust. The head of a monstrous dragon clamped down on Manda, flinging it hundreds of meters away.
When the smoke settled, a titan dragon ten stories tall stood with its four limbs on the earth, its entire body covered with sharp bone spines — like a ruler from a prehistoric age.
Manda stabilized itself and glared viciously at Kairen, cursing:
Standing on Manda's head, Orochimaru's eyes hardened.
"I used to think this was just a high-level Transformation Technique. But this aura can't be simulated with chakra alone. This is a forbidden-level transformation."
Jiraiya's voice echoed from afar: "Orochimaru, you okay?!"
Orochimaru didn't answer — instead he gave Jiraiya a look, signaling him to attack together.
Jiraiya nodded, telling Gamabunta beneath him: "Bunta, prepare the toad oil!"
"No problem!"
Gamabunta's reddish cheeks puffed up as he summoned Myōboku's toad oil.
Jiraiya formed hand seals, preparing a combination jutsu.
Meanwhile Orochimaru controlled Manda, performing Earth Release to burrow underground, preparing to attack Kairen from below.
"Mm~"
Wolon grabbed one of the dragon horns on Kairen's head. A puff of white smoke rose — a winged shadow clone picked Wolon up and flew off the battlefield.
He landed atop the wooden fort wall, setting Wolon down, then called to the clones who were posing with props:
"Boss says — music on!"
"Got it!"
Several shadow clones produced gongs, drums, and speakers.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong…"
The song 'A True Man Must Be Strong' boomed rhythmically.
A surge of strength and determination rose from Kairen's heart — he felt so fired up he could crush his own dragon eggs.
Seeing Kairen preparing for battle with speakers, Uchiha Madara murmured, stunned:
"This brat… really knows how to put on a show."
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya and Gamabunta unleashed the Fire Release together — oil and flame combined, forming a scorching blaze so intense it seemed to ignite half the sky.
The dragon eyes watched calmly — this Fire Release was extremely powerful, comparable to Uchiha Madara's Great Fire Annihilation, with a range just as immense.
The flames erupted in an instant. To escape, Kairen would have to take to the sky.
Kairen spread his dragon wings, preparing to fly — but a giant purple tail suddenly wrapped around him.
It was Manda—
Jiraiya and Orochimaru pulled off a perfect combo: Jiraiya attacked, Orochimaru restrained.
The intense flames engulfed Kairen. For the first time, he experienced the burning agony of boiling oil.
This fire was just like his own Fiery Liquor Technique — full coverage. To extinguish it, he would need a massive Earth Release to cut off oxygen.
"Ding!"
"Jiraiya dealt 500 damage to you!"
When the flames faded, thick black smoke drifted across the battlefield. Only a shed snakeskin remained — Manda's recent escape trick.
Kairen's figure was nowhere to be seen, as if he'd been burned to ashes.
But Jiraiya and Orochimaru did not lower their guard, scanning the surroundings carefully. If Kairen were truly that easy to deal with, their teacher wouldn't have been so troubled.
Even after analyzing Kairen's kekkei genkai intelligence thousands of times, facing him in reality was still maddening.
