Gamamura's heart filled with concern as he witnessed the perilous situation unfolding before him. He knew that if this continued, Iwayado faced the risk of being sealed or worse, losing his life due to the excruciating pain he was enduring. Iwayado was already grievously wounded after the onslaught by Jiryoku, and his situation was growing dire.
With a sense of urgency, Gamamura called out to Gamashiri and the other toads, his voice carrying a note of desperation, "Save Iwayado before it's too late!"
Iwayado had the option to retreat to Mount Myoboku for healing, but he chose to remain in this treacherous predicament, adhering to Gamamura's instructions. Gamamura permitted only those with serious, yet treatable injuries to return to Mount Myoboku. Iwayado's condition was severe, to the point where his injuries were potentially life-threatening. Despite the immense pain he was enduring, he bravely waited, putting his trust in his fellow toads to rescue him from the brink of death.
Gamashiri and the other toads leaped into action, immediately coordinating their efforts to save Iwayado from his dire predicament. However, Jiryoku was not about to let anyone else rescue Iwayado. He swiftly moved to attack the injured sage, determined to prevent his escape. Gamamura, well aware of Jiryoku's intent, made a strategic decision to create distance between himself and the relentless foe. Although he couldn't match Jiryoku's speed, he relied on his ability to foresee the future to position himself effectively and intercept the oncoming threat.
As Jiryoku surged forward with incredible speed, Gamamura materialized in his path. In rapid succession, he launched three powerful punches, each packed with immense force. A solemn expression washed over Jiryoku's face as he recognized the sheer power behind the strikes. Despite his ability to glimpse into the future, he could only evade one of the three punches, leaving him vulnerable to the other two, whichever direction he chose to dodge – one to his left and the other to his right. Gamamura had executed a triple attack strategy, making it exceedingly difficult for Jiryoku to evade all of the blows.
Jiryoku made the bold decision to confront Gamamura's attack head-on without veering in any direction. He shrouded his body with 'Armament Haki' and allowed Gamamura's fist to collide with the 'Gravity Barrier' enveloping him. As the punch connected with the barrier, the 'Gravity Barrier' managed to withstand the force for only a fraction of a second before it crumbled under the immense pressure. The attack reached Jiryoku's body directly, and the impact propelled him a considerable distance, dragging him for nearly 50 meters. Even though Jiryoku employed his 'Gravity Control' ability to slow himself down, the force was still substantial.
While one of Gamamura's strikes successfully landed on Jiryoku, the other two were far from wasted. They continued their relentless path at breakneck speed, causing destruction in their wake. The sheer velocity of these attacks made it nearly impossible for onlookers to track their trajectory.
The individuals in immediate danger hailed from Iwagakure and Kumogakure, as the two devastating attacks were hurtling in their direction. Among the few who could follow the path of the attacks were Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and Raikage A and Killer B from Kumogakure. Killer B boldly stepped forward to shield his fellow Kumogakure ninja, transforming into his Eight-Tails form and bracing for the impending impact.
On the other side, Onoki readied himself to counter the threat with his formidable Dust Release technique. Drawing upon his extensive experience, he unleashed the 'Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.' The invisible attack collided with Onoki's jutsu, resulting in the complete annihilation of the destructive force. However, the residual energy from the invisible attack struck Onoki and other Iwagakure ninja, sending them either flying or toppling to the ground.
Simultaneously, Killer B, in his Eight-Tails form, took the brunt of the invisible attack. Like a ragdoll, he was forcefully propelled over a significant distance, carving a substantial gully in the earth. The impact left a visible, gaping hole in Killer B's body, a testament to the overwhelming power behind Gamamura's attack.
Eight-Tails began to heal, and the gaping hole in its body gradually closed. Meanwhile, Onoki stood gasping for breath, visibly drained from expending a third of his chakra to counter Gamamura's attack.
Raikage A swiftly moved to Killer B's side, and as the hole on the Eight-Tails' body mended, Killer B reverted to his original form. Raikage A inquired with genuine concern, "Are you alright?"
Killer B responded, his voice filled with a mix of pain and frustration, "Fool! You fool! I'm fine, but when I took that hit, it hurt like nothing else."
Raikage A nodded, his gaze now directed at Gamamura. He questioned the toad sage, "Do you intend to eliminate us or neutralize the threat to Konoha, considering that you're allied with them?"
Gamamura, still catching his breath after unleashing such a formidable attack, replied earnestly, "I apologize. It was not my intention."
"Hmph," Raikage A grunted in response.
At this moment, Jiryoku, who had recovered from the impact, stood tall. A trace of blood stained the corner of his mouth, which he swiftly wiped away with his finger. Before addressing Gamamura, he turned towards Raikage A and remarked with a hint of disdain, "If you're so feeble that you can't withstand the aftermath of this battle, you might as well leave. Weaklings like you don't deserve to witness the clash of the strong."
