Naruto Returns From the Genshin Impact World

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Under the Scorching Heat.



  The meteor, ignited by friction with the atmosphere, fell from the spatial rift and smashed fiercely towards the people.

Jiraiya forced a stiff smile, feeling as if he had lost all strength in his body, like a primitive man.

Tsunade glanced at the meteor and then at the newly rebuilt Konohagakure nearby, thinking desolately: Konohagakure would probably need another renovation.

She might also die.

Although they were strong and had good willpower, they felt helpless against this threat. They couldn't reduce the meteor's mass with techniques like Oonoki's Light-Heavy Rock, nor could they hold the meteor with sand like Gaara.

What's more terrifying is that the meteor summoned by Madara was at least normal for now. The meteor pulled down by Naruto had been enchanted by the Nine-Tails with fire element power, turning it into a burning meteor. The lethality of the two was vastly different.

Watching the burning meteor fall from the sky, Jiraiya's mindset gradually changed. Memories of the past surfaced in his mind. He felt the elemental power around him and recalled the words once said by Naruto, Sasuke, and others. The Senjutsu of Mount Myoboku was never meant for humans to practice.

It was precisely because of this that he faced obstacles at every turn on the path of using Senjutsu, and in some cases, he couldn't even enter Sage Mode.

But on second thought, if he could break free from his inherent thinking and use new methods, could he surpass his own limits and reach greater heights?

"Jiraiya, we can escape using Reverse Summoning Jutsu; there's no need to stay here," said the Shima Sage.

"No, Konohagakure is behind me; there's no reason to run away in front of my own home," Jiraiya stated firmly.

Perhaps because he felt he was close to death, his thoughts were exceptionally active. He watched the burning meteor and then glanced at the two anxious Toad Sages on his shoulder. He casually dispelled the Summoning Jutsu to let the two Toad Sages leave, then continued to guide along his original train of thought.

Naruto and Sasuke were strong because they could control the natural elemental forces, and their bodies were also highly adaptable to elemental powers. If he wanted to follow this path, it was absolutely impossible to overtake them in a short time, let alone get close.

But what if I stop being human?

The side effect of Mount Myoboku Senjutsu is that absorbing too much elemental power turns you into stone, which symbolizes an excessive fusion with nature, something most people try to avoid. But what if one deliberately gets close to it, and in a state of near-unity with nature, could they sense more than they usually do?

After all, I'm going to die anyway, might as well try. There might be a chance to fight back. If I don't try, I don't even have the ability to resist right now.

Some things must be done!

Jiraiya let out a soft breath and absorbed natural energy as quickly as possible. Now, unlike before, with Urashiki gone, the elemental power here wasn't so hard to absorb, and Jiraiya could take it in.

He's not incapable of entering Sage Mode alone; it's just that the charging time is too long, and the duration too short. That's why he needs to fight alongside the two great Toad Sages. But now, in this extreme situation, he can't risk the lives of the two great Toad Sages along with his own. He's not that kind of person.

There's still some Senjutsu chakra left in my body, and the concentration of natural energy here is not low. I can absorb it quickly.

"Jiraiya, what's wrong with you!?"

Tsunade suddenly noticed the petrified Jiraiya and shouted with furrowed brows.

Sasuke, already under great mental pressure, glanced at Jiraiya subconsciously. His headache worsened, and with a deep sigh, he thought: My teammate not only impersonates me but also petrifies himself at a critical moment. Family, who understands? Who can understand this feeling?

Sasuke didn't have time to worry about him. What he needed to think about was how to deal with the burning meteorite in the sky. If he couldn't handle it, Konohagakure would probably need to be rebuilt, and his newly constructed private villa would likely be gone too.

"Susano'o!"

With a low shout, a super-sized Susano'o armor formed rapidly, and within it, Sasuke gazed at the burning meteorite falling from the sky. The Susano'o, looking like a mechanical paratrooper, held its dream and slashed at the meteorite with all its might.

"Evil Shine - Piercing Heaven Blade Light!"

"Boom!!"

Thunder and flames exploded, their light illuminating the entire world, and the deafening roar echoed everywhere, venting everything like an angry beast.

Fortunately, Naruto never intended to destroy Konohagakure from the start. Although the meteorite was large, it wasn't too hard. The Nine-Tails' enchantment made the meteorite look more terrifying, but it didn't deliberately give it explosive properties that would blow up Konohagakure.

Because his new home was still there...

In the midst of this terrifying explosion, Jiraiya absorbed a massive amount of scattered elements, and at the same time, his petrified body began to naturally disintegrate. In the deliberate moment between life and death, he seemed to feel nature more profoundly; he was about to merge with nature.

"Although it wasn't successful, my ability to control natural energy has improved by more than one level. My guess was indeed correct," Jiraiya murmured with narrowed eyes.

Under normal circumstances, no one could fully merge with nature or feel the Satoru elements at zero distance from nature. But Jiraiya, for the sake of power, was willing to take risks, to fight desperately. He gambled on this opportunity through the side effects of Mount Myoboku Senjutsu and felt that sensation.

Although his physique didn't transform and he didn't become a Sage body, this adventurous process benefited him a lot. After all, it was an opportunity he gambled his life for.

"Let's try again."

Jiraiya closed his eyes, ignoring the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, and devoted himself entirely to sensing nature and absorbing elemental power.

He had a premonition that if he could succeed, his power would undergo a tremendous transformation.

If I can just get to that place.

I will be able to...

Under Tsunade's bewildered gaze, Jiraiya, who had just recovered, turned to stone again, and even faster than before. Tsunade hadn't even had time to rejoice or pop the champagne before he petrified once more.

What's going on with this guy?

Could it be Urashiki's doing? Is this also part of your plan, Urashiki?

"Miss Hinata, shouldn't we provide support?"

Neji asked seriously.

"There's no need anymore."

Hinata replied simply, her smile as she watched the explosion at the edge of Konohagakure was like that of a little girl watching fireworks, without a trace of worry.

"Why? Does Sasuke still have an ace up his sleeve?"

Neji still didn't quite understand.

"There's no particular reason, it's just not necessary. Konohagakure isn't in danger, Naruto hasn't even made a move yet," Hinata said indifferently, taking her eyes off the scene and exhaling a breath of air before looking at Neji.

"Indeed, Naruto's strength is formidable. If he's prepared in secret, then there's really nothing to worry about," Neji nodded in agreement.

"Yeah."

Hinata responded nonchalantly, her gaze towards Neji becoming more perfunctory as she continued to watch the explosion, her thoughts unknown.

On the battlefield, lightning and fire intertwined, and the sky-darkening meteor split in two as it fell. The towering Susano'o, over two hundred meters tall, swung its sword to clear the large meteor fragments, preventing Konohagakure from being too affected.

Meanwhile, in a corner, Jiraiya, petrified due to the side effects of Mount Myoboku Senjutsu, saw the toad-like aspects of his body gradually disappearing.
