"That is... could that be..."
Jiraiya, with his head raised, gazed at Orochimaru's figure, descending like an immortal, his trembling pupils betraying an unspeakable shock.
At this moment, Orochimaru was like a completely different person, with a stern horn, white hair flying, and a handsome appearance that appeared even more bewitching under the purple eye shadow, his whole body filled with an indescribable, strange energy.

This energy... actually gave Jiraiya a familiar feeling!
If...
If his perception was not mistaken, then it must be...
Jiraiya's pupils contracted slightly, the aura emanating from Orochimaru's body was clearly the aura of Natural Energy!
The words of Fukasaku from Mount Myoboku suddenly flashed through his mind.
'Little Jiraiya, it is indeed rare to be able to communicate with my sons, but don't be complacent, because you haven't even touched the edge of Mount Myoboku's true inheritance.'
'The true inheritance, what is that?'
'Hehe, why do you think Mount Myoboku is called a sacred land?'
That day, with the permission of the Toad Sage, Fukasaku covered Jiraiya's entire body with Toad Oil and taught him the method of absorbing Sage Art energy, allowing him to truly experience the power of Natural Energy.
Even today, Jiraiya would not hesitate in the slightest, that was definitely the closest he had ever been to death.
Because under the erosion of that majestic energy, the cells all over his body lost control, his body surface was extremely stiff, and even his consciousness was blurred, as if his soul was about to be drawn from his body, and he fainted on the spot.
When he woke up again, he realized that Fukasaku had rescued him from the Gates of Hell in time. According to Gamabunta, he was almost turned into a stone toad at the time.
In the end, Fukasaku could only suspend Jiraiya's Sage Art cultivation on the grounds that his strength was insufficient.
It was this personal experience with Natural Energy that made Jiraiya's expression so shocked when facing Orochimaru today.
A sharp wind sound cut through his ears, and a pale figure suddenly flashed from the air. Before Jiraiya could even react, a Big Hand covered his face.
"Too slow."
Orochimaru's laughter was full of sarcasm. With a grab of his five fingers, he lifted Jiraiya's body with one arm and rushed towards Tsunade!
Even with Jiraiya, his speed did not decrease much, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.
Tsunade's eyes were solemn, and her white hands immediately clasped together, forming the standard "Tiger" seal.
"Yin Seal—"
With a "bang," her voice stopped abruptly, because Orochimaru had already rushed in front of her, and with a lightning-fast punch, he hit her lower abdomen hard, stopping the Chakra's operation.
Orochimaru quickly raised his hand, and with the same method, pinched Tsunade's fair forehead with one palm, stomped his feet on the ground, and jumped high into the air with the two of them.
The two struggled desperately, but to no avail. Orochimaru's current strength was not what it used to be, and the Big Hand clasped on their foreheads was like iron tongs.
Tsunade tried to break free with Super Strength, but three white snakes drilled out of Orochimaru's sleeves in succession, tightly entwined her body, and once again cut off the operation of Chakra.
"Giggle..."
The snake's body tightly bound her, making her already heavy breasts even fuller.
At the same time, Jiraiya was also entangled by several white snakes, strangled until he was dizzy and unable to breathe.
Orochimaru leaped up, Sage Art Chakra not only amplified his Ninjutsu, but also strengthened his soul and Physical Body simultaneously. With his current physical strength, a single leap could cover hundreds of meters.
The wind howled as Orochimaru jumped into the air, aiming at a seemingly hard reef, and threw the two of them over.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Jiraiya was the first to wake up from his dizzy state. He quickly glanced at the approaching land, his eyes twitching rapidly.
Falling from such a height, even a Ninja would suffer internal injuries!
Unable to borrow strength in the air, he immediately formed hand seals, "Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Technique!"
In an instant, his messy long hair grew rapidly, countless strands of hair intertwined and extended, billowing in the wind, as if supporting a silver-white parachute behind his head.
Jiraiya's white hair had exceeded his main body by dozens of times. With the cushioning of the "parachute," he offset most of the kinetic energy, allowing him to land safely.
On the other side, Tsunade did not take any safe landing measures, but on the ground, Katsuyu, who was fighting, noticed her crisis and immediately split into countless clones, surging like a tide to Tsunade's landing point, and quickly merged into a huge Slug.
Tsunade fell straight down from the high altitude, steadily landing on Katsuyu's body. Katsuyu's snow-white body immediately rippled with a layer of flesh, and the soft body was like an air cushion, protecting Tsunade safely.
Orochimaru fell towards the sea, his body rising and falling with the waves. He looked at the two and tilted his head.
"Now that things have come to this, do you still want me to go back with you?"
Jiraiya was silent, but Tsunade's expression remained angry.
"Damn it, are you going to abandon the village just for the sake of strength?"
"You're mistaken." Orochimaru shook his head. "I'm after Immortality and research. Strength is just a byproduct of the process. However, even this mere byproduct has beaten you so badly that you don't even have the qualifications to fight back."
"Damn it, do you think you're the only one with trump cards?"
Orochimaru raised his eyes slightly. "Tsunade, if I had wanted to attack just now, the two of you would already be Corpse."
"But you didn't, did you?" Tsunade took a step forward. "This shows that there are still bonds in your heart, and the village is still there!"
The air suddenly quieted down, and Orochimaru's face visibly darkened, his eyes as if swallowed by shadows.
In the distance, Nawaki, who was hiding behind a reef and secretly observing, was slightly stunned. He inexplicably felt that his sister's words just now were very dangerous.
"Yes, if that's your reason for pestering me..."
Orochimaru's aura changed, and the Sage Art Chakra all over his body seemed to burn, yet it was cold and piercing.
As he spoke, his hands began to bloom with clear brilliance.
He closed his palms, and as Chakra slowly condensed, the ice-blue streamer stretched inch by inch, like a tail-eating spirit snake, chasing its own tail, and finally the head and tail were connected, condensing into shape.
The blue light flashed, suddenly shrinking, and a circle of bright blue light wheels appeared in Orochimaru's palm.
The buzzing sound was loud, it was the sound of the air being cut.
The flow of Sage Art Chakra was as turbulent as water, forming a stable circulating circuit inside. There was no doubt that this was the operating mode of "Autumn Dew on Leaves", representing the ultimate in Chakra form transformation.
But whether it was form or nature... it was completely different from the genuine "Autumn Dew on Leaves".
The urgent sound of wind swirled incessantly, even whipping up layers of white foam on the sea surface.
It's Wind Release Chakra!
Orochimaru infused his Wind Release Chakra into the shape transformation!
This move was a new creation born from his experience with Shin'yu's "Autumn Water Whirlwind Blast Orb," merging "Autumn Dew on Leaves," the Rasengan, Sage Art, and Wind Release Chakra.
He couldn't, like his master, casually release the Light Blade formed by "Autumn Dew on Leaves" to create an unparalleled sword aura.
His master had meticulously explained the principle, that the method of releasing internal force was similar to the principle of point discharge, compressing the flowing Chakra to a single point through the medium of the "Autumn Dew on Leaves" operation method, and then releasing it, the destructive power was simply terrifying.
The difficulty was also quite terrifying.
Orochimaru asked himself, and he was sure he couldn't do it. It was no longer a matter of skill, but entirely within the realm of talent.
But he had his own method!
The Light Wheel spun at extreme speed, stirring up gusts of wind, and the humming sound in the air became increasingly sharp.
"I'll use this move to sever the bonds!"
Orochimaru's eyes focused as he aimed at Tsunade and flung the blue Light Wheel in his hand!
"Sage Art: Tail-Chasing Eight-Division Light Wheel!"
