Chapter 105: Jiraiya The Gallant

. . . .

"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!"

. . . .

Konan watched as smoke enveloped her former sensei with a frown. What was he planning? He was already low on chakra and was injured. No summons he has could hope to face her. So what was he planning? A voice brought her out of her thoughts.

"Hey Jiraiya-chan, been a while." an elderly male voice said through the smoke. "Yeah, ever since you and Naruto-chan left ya haven't talked to us! And why do ya have ta' always summon us in weird places like this?" an elderly female voice complained. The smoke began to clear as Jiraiya chuckled at the voices. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. But, I'm going to need you help, Pa, Ma'am, to put an old student of mine back in her place." Jiraiya said as the smoke cleared to reveal two small and elderly looking toads on the Sages shoulders.

Fukasaku looked at Konan with an amused smirk. "Oh, so this is the lass that knocked ol' Bunta on his ass huh? Well Jiraiya-chan, we better get started then." the elder toad said as he and Shima clasped their hands together and started gathering natural chakra.

Before Konan's eyes, her old Sensei began to change. His features shifted and became more rugged. His hands became webbed and his feet morphed into those of a toads. His eyes bulged slightly and gained a bar like pupil. He grew a beard and his nose became more bulbous. His teeth sharpened and his hair came loose from it's pony tail. He looked at Konan and smirked. "Well, Konan, how do I look?" he asked in a sarcastic tone.

The blue hair Angle of the Akatsuki scowled at the man. She could feel the power radiating from him as his old wounds began to close. "You look rather horrid if I do say so myself." she replied to her former sensei, getting a mock pout out of the man. "Sensei, give up." she said bluntly to the man. "Even in this state you cannot defeat me. You have lost too much chakra. Give up."

Jiraiya looked at his former student for a long moment before crouching on Gamaken's head. "Give up?" he said as his legs tenses and his muscles tightened. "Stop trying..." he growled. "To make me give up!" he roared as he launched himself towards Konan faster than she could react. His kick connected with the side of her head, sending her crashing into the hard ground below, forming a crater on impact. "Never underestimate your elders Konan. It'll be the death of you."

Konan coughed as she spat out blood. She slowly rose to stand and glared at her former sensei. "I see...then I will no longer hold back against you Sensei." she growled as she rose her hands up towards Jiraiya. "Paper Chakram!" she called as paper squares gathered around her. A second later seven Chakrams made of paper cicled around her as she glared at Jiraiya. "For Pein-sama!" she called as the Chakrams flew with great speed.

"Dodge em Jiraiya-chan! Even in Sage mode those'll do a lot of damage!" Fukasaku warned. Jiraiya nodded with a serious look on his face. "Right!" he shouted as he jumped high over the first of the chakrams. Just before he landed the second was getting close, but Shima used a wind jutsu to knock it off course. Jiraiya jumped to his right to side step the third and ducked under the fourth.

The fifth and sixth came at him from the sides as the seventh chakram rushed him from the front. Fukasaku and Shima used fire and wind jutsu to destroy the Chakrams from the sides while Jiraiya formed a Rasengan to intercept the seventh chakram. Once those three were destroyed he looked back to Konan with a confidant smirk. "That all?" he taunted his former student. Only for his Sage instincts to warn him of danger.

"Jiraiya-chan jump!" Shima called. The Sannin jumped into the air as a Chakram raced passed him. "What!" Jiraiya breathed as he noticed the four that weren't destroyed were still moving in the air towards him. "Shit!" he called as another chakram came towards him while he was in the air. Fukasaku used a low powered wind jutsu to knock it off course, only for it to come back around in a tight curve and smash into Jiraiya's back.

"Gagwk!" Jiraiya coughed as the chakran sliced across his back, cutting deeply into his skin. Without his Sage Mode he would most likely have been bisected by the paper blade, but instead he was deeply wounded. The Sannin landed on the ground and fell to a knee before the other three chakrams came towards him. "Hari Jizo!" Jiraiya called as his hair spread over his body, making a spiked shield around him and the toad elders.

The chakrams were all caught in his spiked hair as he opened it enough for him and the elders to counter. "Senpou: Goeman!" he and the elders called as Jiraiya shot forth Oil, Shima lit it with fire, and Fukasaku intensified the flames with wind. The boiling oil cascaded over the Chakrams and even caught the lone chakram with it. The paper blades were burnt away as the oil spread towards their master.

Konan took to the skies as fast as she could to avoid the oil. She formed several paper shuriken and launched them towards the opening in Jiraiya's defenses. The Sannin cursed as he was only able to cover the elders before the blades got close. He moved his head enough so that one would only cut across his cheek while another glanced off his Hitai-ate. A third Shuriken however stabbed into his shoulder next to his neck and made it through his Sage Modes thick skin.

"Damn!" he hissed in pain. He jumped back as Gamaken swung his club down on Konan. The paper Angel just let her body turn to paper and flow around the club. As she dodged the summons' attack she sent several papers over to Gamaken and stuck them to his legs. Ken looked to his legs and noticed they were paper bombs.

"KEN!" Jiraiya called out as Gamaken was enveloped in a massive explosion. The summons dispelled as soon as he took the damage so he could heal, leaving Jiraiya injured and almost out of chakra. Even with Fukasaku and Shima he was running on fumes. "Damn...Dammit!" he cursed as he felt his Sage Mode slipping. "If it weren't for those damn Zetsu..." he panted as his Hari Jizo receded.

"This ain't good Jiraiya-chan. Ya can't keep up Sage Mode like this." Fukasaku grumbled as he noticed Jiraiya's condition. "We need ta retreat Jiriaya-chan. Get to the medic." Shima said to him.

Jiraiya fell to a knee as he looked at Konan. She wasn't in much of a better shape than he was. His earlier kick did a lot of damage, while controlling seven Chakrams took a tone of Chakra. She was in her human form looking at Jiraiya, panting in exhaustion.

Jiraiya grimaced as he tried to get up. "Unless you can carry me, I think we might have a problem." he grumbled as his Sage Mode finally ended. He couldn't move from the wound on his back. Fukasaku snorted at him. "Ya know I can carry yer ass. But if the little girl would let us get away is another question." Fukasaku mused as he hopped off of Jiraiya's shoulder and picked him up slightly. Shima also hopped off and helped carry him.

"Oh no you don't!" Konan exclaimed as she formed more paper shuriken. But before she could launch them towards Jiraiya, she was thrown off balance by a massive explosion that reached up to the sky. She looked over to where the explosion happened. "Deidara!" she called out as she figured out who just self destructed. Another loud explosion caught her as she turned to see Sasori be destroyed from across the battle field. "Dammit!" she cursed as she watched two of her comrades fall.

Jiraiya chuckled. "Looks like you guys are losing." he said to the Angel of the Akatsuki. She growled at him before something happened.

The sound of thousands of birds filled the area as Jiraiya and Konan tried to find the source. Konan was the one to find it, as a Chidori stuck straight through her chest. She coughed up blood as the hand encased in lighting pulled itself out of her chest. She fell to the ground, her head facing the direction of Pein's battle against Cole. "Naga...to..." she said before her eyes rolled back and she went limp on the ground.

Jiraiya watched as his former student died on the ground. He looked up to see a raven haired Uchiha that was thought to be dead, stand over her with an emotionless expression.

Uchiha Sasuke looked to the injured Sannin and pointed his sword towards the man. "Jiraiya of the Sannin. Perhaps you can prove just how much I have improved?"
