(A/N): Ugh, sorry about not updating yesterday guys. The path to life is a winding path that just likes to screw with us sometimes.
But anyway, here's yesterdays chapter!
TO THE STORY!
. . . .
Chapter 104: Origami Angel
. . . .
Sasori tried to turn his head to see the blonde behind him, but was planted into the ground as his core shattered from Naruto's Rasengan. Sasori's dying scream was drowned out by a massive explosion coming from where Gai and Kakashi were fighting Deidara...
. . . .
Twenty Minutes earlier. With Jiraiya.
"Ninpou: Ranjishigami no Jutsu!" Jiraiya called out while facing off against his former student, Konan. His long white hair began to twitch and expand before it launched straight for the flying woman. His hair formed to have a dragons features as it charged towards the self proclaimed Angel.
Konan narrowed her eyes as the beast made of hair caught her in its jaws, effectively trapping her. Jiraiya shook his head with a sigh. "I expected more from you Konan. You haven't improved at all I seen." he sighed in disappointment. Konan leveled a calm gaze towards the Toad sage. "No sensei...it is you who has not improved over the years." she said as he skin began to change color. After a moment her skin began to float away in small squares of paper until she was no longer within Jiraiya's grasp.
Jiraiya's eyes widened as he recalled his hair to its normal state. He looked around him and noticed that the paper in the air began to pick up speed as it floated around him and Gamabunta in a cyclone around the two.
Bunta scowled as he watched the paper. "This is bad Jiraiya..." he grumbled while readying himself for whatever Konan was about to do. Jiraiya could only nod in agreement as he waited for Konan's attack.
"Shikigami no Mai..." Konan's voice called out from seemingly everywhere. Jiraiya and Bunta upped their defense as they continued to wait. "Sensei, I do not wish to kill you," Konan's voice called. "But if you do not yield, then I will have no choice."
Jiraiya let out a low and long sigh. "I can't submit to you Konan. I have a mission to complete. At it seems that I have let my little students get out of hand." he said in a stern voice.
"Fine then Sensei. I am sorry for this. Shikigami no Mai: Tsukisasu!" Konan's voice called as the paper around Bunta and Jiraiya stopped moving. The paper began to gather and form small spears made of paper that all pointed at the summons and Jiraiya. Jiraiya and his summons eyes widened as they looked at the hundreds of spears pointed at them. "Not good..." Jiraiya breathed out.
And then the spears flew through the sky towards the two of them. Gamabunta cursed loudly as he reacted as fast as he could. He used his tongue to grab Jiraiya off the top of his head and take him into his mouth to avoid the attack. Gamabunta growled in pain as he felt the spears stab him all across his body. As soon as the spears stopped their attacks Bunta opened his mouth and let Jiraiya out onto the ground.
The Toad Sage looked at his long time friend and partner to see him covered in wounds and breathing heavily. "I have to retreat Jiriaya...Good luck..." the summons said while in pain before he dispelled in a plume of smoke. Jiraiya growled as he looked to where Konan was reforming her body. "You're gonna pay for that, Konan." he growled.
Konan's upper body formed completely leaving her lower body as a paper cyclone. "Is this all that you have to offer against me Sensei?" Konan asked in her monotone voice. "Pein-sama would be disappointed in you..." he sighed as she gathered more paper around her. "Shikigami no Mai: Uzu Ryu!" she called as her paper formed a cyclone around her before blasting towards Jiraiya.
Jiraiya growled before he began making hand signs. "Katon: Karyu Endan!" he roared as he shot out a bullet of flame. The flame and paper crashed and canceled each other out. Konan scowled at the Sannin before disappearing in a flurry of paper.
Jiraiya waited for the smoke to clear. But as soon as it did it revealed a horde of white Zentsu's running straight for him. Jiraiya growled before taking the taijutsu stance of the toads. "Damn. Looks like I'm in a tight spot here..." he mused. "But. This will make one hell of a book if I live through this..." he said with a confident smirk.
The first of the Zetsu made it near him before he leaped into action. The first of the clones went down from a flying kick to the face. It was sent through the air and crashed into two other of the Zetsu. Jiraiya let out a laugh as he began to rip through the Zetsu horde.
A back hand to ones head sent it spiraling through the air. A palm strike to the nose killed one on impact. Kick to the stomach. Chop to the neck. Rasengan to the torso. A flame bomb to a group of five. It seemed as though Jiraiya was tearing the hordes apart. Until a sheet of paper appeared behind him.
Jiriaya crashed his fist into a White Zetsu's head as he felt a sharp pain rush through his side. "Grah!" he growled as he touched his side and felt blood. But he couldn't stop to ponder the injury. He still had Zetsu's to face. He fought through his pain to continue facing the horde.
He created a Rasengan and smashed it against another Zetsu. And yet again he felt a sting of pain run across his leg. He hissed in pain before leaping away from a group of charging Zetsu. He landed on his good leg and gingerly tested his other. He groaned slightly, but it was workable. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he called as he summoned a second toad to fight for him. Before the smoke cleared a club came down onto the horde, scattering their forces. "Alright Gamaken! Let's take them apart!" he called as the smoke cleared.
"I am not very graceful, but I will do my best!" Gamaken shouted as he brought down his club yet again onto the horde, smashing more of the Zetsu. Jiraiya took his moment of rest to check over his injuries. He had a deep cut on his side and a more shallow one on his leg. "Damn Konan. Why don't you fight fairly..." he grumbled to himself as he stood on top of Gamaken. "Come on out Konan!" he called. "These little pests can't beat me!"
The Zetsu below him growled as they came together in several groups. They began to morph together until there were several giants standing in Gamakens path. 'Oh really!?" one called in its crazed and happy voice.
Jiraiya's eyes widened as the giants began to morph together as well. "KEN! TAKE THEM DOWN NOW!" Jiraiya yelled in a furious tone. "Right!" Gamaken called as he jumped high into the air and brought down his club.
Only for a cyclone of paper to appear before the summons and knock it away from the forming Giant.
"GAH!" Gamaken cried out as he crashed into the earth. Jiriaya jumped from his summons before he was knocked away at the last second, jumping high above the Zetsu Giant. "ODAMA RASENGAN!" he roared as he formed a Rasengan the size of a small house and brought it down on top of the giants head.
The Zetsu cried out in pain as it was torn apart by the rotating sphere of chakra. "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Jiraiya roared as he tore the giant apart.
Jiraiya landed hard onto the ground after destroying the Zetsu. He tried to stand but fell to a knee, panting in exhaustion. "Damn...I'm...too old...for this...shit!" he growled out between breaths.
Gamaken got up from his back and lumbered over to Jiraiya. "Are you alright Jiraiya-sama!?" he called to his summoner. He reached down and placed Jiraiya back onto his head.
Jiraiya got his breathing back under control and nodded to his summons. "Thanks Ken...I'm just a little tired is all...but this isn't over yet..." he growled as he watched Konan form in front of him and Gamaken.
"You did well Jiriay-sensei. But, I do believe it is time we finish this." she said to him in a grave tone.
Jiriaya nodded with a frown. "Let's." he said before making hand signs. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
