Chapter 525 The Cult of Evil Gods
As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!
It was an extreme abruptness, without any warning.
The white-cloaked figure closest to Jiraiya didn't even make the slightest move; he simply raised his arm slightly.
The snow beneath his feet, that pure white snow illuminated by the moonlight, seemed to have been imbued with an evil life.
Suddenly, it condensed and bulged, transforming into a ferocious and terrifying white giant claw that tore through the air, carrying a chilling aura, and lightning-fast grabbed at Jiraiya's ankle.
Ninja Art: Snow Claw!
It all happened so fast it felt like an illusion.
But Jiraiya's reaction went almost beyond the concept of speed.
He didn't even back down; it was an absolute confidence in his own speed and strength.
The toes lightly touched the thick snow, a subtle yet powerful force.
The whole person was like a weightless feather, rising from the ground, drawing a graceful and flowing arc in mid-air, and with a beautiful flip, landing silently a few meters away.
The entire process was fluid and graceful, displaying the composure of a master.
"They just start fighting without warning; they have absolutely no manners."
He still spoke with that cynical, complaining tone, but his eyes, which usually held a hint of mockery, were now sharp as an eagle's, locked onto the five figures.
His hands, concealed by the wide sleeves of his robe, had already formed hand seals at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive as he turned over.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
Without the slightest hesitation, a huge fireball, like a miniature sun falling from the sky, was suddenly spewed out of his mouth.
"call--"
The fireball, trailing a blazing tail, roared as if it could ignite the air itself, and with unstoppable force, slammed into the weak fire around which the five people sat.
Extreme heat versus extreme cold.
A scorching wave of heat swept across the entire ruins in an instant, evaporating and melting the surrounding snow with a hissing sound. White steam rose up, making the entire space hazy.
However, the five figures remained motionless in the face of the terrifying flames that could melt even steel.
They seemed oblivious to the intense heat hitting them, enough to scorch their skin.
Just as the enormous fireball was about to engulf them, the three people sitting on the outside simultaneously extended a withered finger that was nothing but skin and bones.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they were being controlled by intricate puppet strings, as they lightly tapped the ground in front of them.
"Ice Release: Ice Wall Formation"
Three hoarse, dry voices overlapped, devoid of any emotion.
boom!!!
The enormous fireball slammed into a semi-transparent ice wall that appeared out of nowhere, half a meter thick.
The moment the two collided, a deafening roar erupted, like a muffled thunderclap exploding in the deathly silent snowfield.
Countless sparks, mixed with shattered ice fragments, flew in all directions like a grand fireworks display, illuminating the surrounding ruins with flickering light and casting shadows that resembled a chaotic dance of demons.
The smoke and water vapor slowly dissipated.
That ice wall still stands tall.
Its surface was scorched with a fine, spiderweb-like crack, but the overall structure remained intact.
An even stranger scene unfolded.
The cracks that were burned are repairing and healing themselves inch by inch, starting from the edges, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The chilling air, seemingly drawn by some invisible force, was continuously flowing towards the ice wall, filling its wounds.
"Tch, it's a bit hard."
Jiraiya clicked his tongue, his flippant expression softening and replaced by a hint of seriousness.
"This ice technique is rather strange."
Orochimaru's calm voice rang out. Before anyone knew it, he had appeared on Jiraiya's other side like a ghost, his body pressed low, like a venomous snake ready to strike at any moment.
"Ice Release is a combination of wind and water chakra nature transformations. But just a moment ago..."
He extended his signature forked tongue and gently licked his pale lips. In his narrow, golden vertical pupils, there was no fear, but rather a burning, almost fanatical light.
"Sbarashi...it's perfect! They're not just using chakra, they've completely assimilated their chakra with the eternally existing cold energy of this land! They...they are part of this snowfield themselves!"
Speak like a human being!
Tsunade's cold, sharp shout interrupted Orochimaru's almost obsessive academic discussion.
She had already charged forward from the other side like a lithe female leopard.
She always had only one simple and effective way to deal with these charlatans—
Use your fists to smash them back from their delusional fantasies to the cold reality!
"Aaaaaah—!"
She let out a furious roar, and her seemingly slender and fair fist was now enveloped in a layer of pale blue chakra that was visible to the naked eye and seemed to have solidified into a tangible substance.
Before the fist arrives, the wind from it has already blown.
The piercing shriek that tore through the air momentarily silenced the surrounding howling wind.
This punch embodies her ultimate control over superhuman strength, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!
Her target was the face of the cloaked figure closest to her.
However, faced with this terrifying blow that was enough to crack even the Susanoo of a Kage-level powerhouse, the cloaked man neither dodged nor defended.
He stood there stiffly, like a lifeless sculpture, as Tsunade's destructive fist rapidly magnified in his vision.
