Chapter 34: A Sannin's Efforts

For the first time, fluctuations appeared in his calm eyes. Aizen looked into the distance, and in his eyes a figure kept zooming in, quickly approaching the watch tower. This figure hadd white hair, magnificent, and accompanied by an astonishing killing intent.

The legendary Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya.

At this moment of life-and-death crisis, Jiraiya appeared strongly and moved Aizen's destination.

However, the appearance of Jiraiya did not surprise Aizen, instead, he smiled slightly and showed an expectant smile, "Is he finally here? I have been waiting here for a long time. This time, let me thoroughly feel the power in your body."

"It's finally here, the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya!" Seeing Jiraiya's figure keep zooming in his eyes, Aizen's eyes are full of expectation.

From the beginning, Aizen relied on Reiatsu to sense the existence of Jiraiya, and the reason why he is waiting here is to wait for Jiraiya to take the initiative to show up.

That unintentional encounter in a month made Aizen interested in the natural energy fluctuations in Jiraiya's body. In Aizen's eyes, although the ninjutsu performed by Chakra is powerful, it is still inferior to Reiatsu.

Aizen, who has always believed in the original power, naturally dismissed ordinary Chakra ninjutsu.

On the contrary, after he felt the great power of Chakra from Jiraiya, he became interested in this unknown power, so this time, he deliberately stayed at the watch tower, just to find an opportunity to fight Jiraiya and force him to use that kind of power.

In Aizen's heart, the so-called battle with Kakashi and Might Guy was just a joke. Even if the strong breathe out a light breath, they can crush the ant's body at will.

Konoha powerless struggle was only the result of Aizen's deliberate delay.

Jiraiya's figure quickly approached, immediately attracting the eyes of Kakashi and Might Guy.

Including Aizen, his eyes are also fixed on Jiraiya.

At this moment, no one noticed. Orochimaru, who had suffered two beheadings from Aizen before, and lost the ability to fight because he was lying on the ground dying.

There were small cracks in his back, like a snake shed its skin, when all the small cracks converged, Orochimaru's whole body was completely split from head to tail, a liquid trickled out from the shocking crack, and pair of pale arms struggled to open the crack and stretch out from it.

At the same time, the expression on Orochimaru's face stopped in vain, and there was no vitality in his eyes, as if all his spirituality had been lost in an instant.

Zizi! A faint sound of corrosion sounded, and all the viscous liquid continuously penetrated into the ground below. Because these liquids were very corrosive, plus this is the highest level of the watchtower.

Gradually, a huge hole was exposed on the ground, and the viscous liquid completely penetrated the roof of the watch tower and kept falling below.

There was a crisp tearing sound, the crack was completely broken, and a body struggling from it, falling to the next floor of the watch tower.

This figure was like a newborn, with skin that could be blown and stretched, smooth and translucent, long black hair and cold eyes that make people feel a chill. 

Orochimaru, who was dying, was reborn again.

For a long time, even though Orochimaru suffered two slashes from Aizen and fell into a slander, he still lingered and did not lose immediately like Third Hokage, but collapsed to the ground feebly, and although he had lost the ability to fight again, he was waiting to find an opportunity.

He was unwilling, angry, and never believed that he would end like this.

Fortunately, taking advantage of Aizen's distraction, Orochimaru finally found a perfect opportunity. He shed his skin through a secret forbidden technique and regained his life. The price he paid is the exhaustion of all Chakra in the body.

"Rebirth, this feeling is really unforgettable." Orochimaru stood up slowly, sighing with emotion. After using the Molting Technique, all the scars on his body surface disappeared, and even the pain did not exist.

Since when Orochimaru had made a pact with the Snake Sage of the Ryūchi cave, and because of the numerous forbidden experiments, he had turned from a human to a snake monster.

With this method he could overcome the biological limits of normal humans, being able to reborn again, overcoming any injury, and even death by changing his form.

It's just that he has to pay a huge price, and the Chakra in his body was completely depleted. If he were to encounter a Konoha Jōnin at this time, Orochimaru's life can be easily ended.

This method also harms the cells, and the result of this in such a situation, was losing a portion of his life force, and shortening his life.

"Aizen Sōsuke, I will remember you! When I regain my peak, you will pay." His inner hatred for Aizen has reached its extreme.

This time, if it weren't for Aizen's turnout, his plan to destroy Konoha would have been firm.

Whether it was Orochimaru or Third Hokage, they never expected that Aizen would be the one who would survive in the end.

In the Watchtower.

When Orochimaru used the Molting Technique, Aizen frowned slightly and glanced downwards, before returning to a calm face, because in fact, he noticed that Orochimaru was not dead, and had used the Molting Technique to escape.

But it didn't matter to Aizen.

He used Kyōka Suigetsu, and it meant that Orochimaru will never be able to crack it, and will fall into Complete Hypnosis.

With the first defeat, there will naturally be a second time. This is the self-confidence of the strong.

Aizen believes that even if Orochimaru is allowed to escape, it will not be a return to reach the peak, because although Orochimaru's strength was strong, it posed no threat to him.

Before Kyōka Suigetsu's Complete Hypnosis, any facts were just a passing glance.

Jiraiya's figure quickly approached, and when he was only a few hundred meters away from the watch tower, his eyes were fixed on the fallen body of Third Hokage.

With Jiraiya's strength, it is natural to see that Third Hokage has long been lost, and un an instant, an aura gushed out of Jiraiya's body, sweeping across all directions like a vast ocean. 

There was sorrow in his heart. Jiraiya was silent, eyes full of guilt. If he could arrive, he might have been able to save Third Hokage's life.

"Third Hokage, did you do it?" Jiraiya asked coldly.

"Yes or not, why is it important? The purpose of your rush here, isn't it to get rid of me?" Aizen's eyes finally ignited with a bit of fighting intent.

"You didn't choose me, Jiraiya. From the beginning, I chose you!"

"Summoning Technique!" As Jiraiya's hands formed a seal, a summoning formation formed by black lines appeared on the ground.

There was a loud bang, and the hazy white mist emanated, covering the entire watch tower.

In the white mist, there seemed to be a strong aura slowly brewing, and after a while, when all the white mist had dispersed, a huge figure appeared in the sight of everyone.

Crimson skin, red lines, strong limbs, a huge body of several meters, and a saber hung around his waist.

As everyone knows, the Mountain is the hometown of toads. There are were not only many Toad Summoning beasts inhabited here, but also two powerful Toad Sages.

In addition to the two of them, this Toad was the leader of all toads in the Mountain.

"Jiraiya boy, disturbing my dreams in a quiet afternoon, unexpectedly summoned me. Have you forgotten the fear of being beaten by me?" The toads mouth was carved with a pipe, angrily scolded in dissatisfaction.

However, it was beyond its expectation. Jiraiya didn't respond with a smile as usual, but nodded solemnly, and motioned to the Toad to look too far ahead, where Aizen was.

"Is this the so-called Summoning beast? It's really different." There was a rare glimmer of admiration in Aizen's eyes.

If it was the peak period, Aizen would naturally be too dismissive of toad text. No matter how big it is, it is nothing but a huge ant in Aizen's eyes. But now the situation has changed, Aizen's strength is only half the level of his peak, and although he still has an overwhelming strength in front of ordinary Jōnin, facing an unknown frog who can fight against a tailed beast, he must approach this carefully.

"Jiraiya boy, the reason you called me out is because of this young man?" The toad was too light-eyed, he stared at Aizen for a long time, and then laughed disdainfully.

In its view, Aizen was just a slightly mature teenager. No matter how strong the breath is, to Toad Wentai's eyes it is nothing but a man's arm as a car.

"Don't take it lightly." Jiraiya frowned slightly, and although his heart surged with murderous intent, he was able to remain calm.

Being able to be the legendary three ninjas by the world, Jiraiya naturally has his uniqueness, so before fully understanding Aizen's abilities, he would not act rashly like Guy.

"I said, Jiraiya boy, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect your courage to become so small. Over the years, only the body has grown up, but the brain is still standing still?" The Toad did not take Jiraiya's words to heart, but mocked him instead. He thought that Jiraiya was too cautious, and instead let himself be restrained.

One is the legendary Sannin, the legend of Konoha. One is the toad boss, second only to the powerful existence of the two immortals.
