Soon, all the ninjas who were around Jiryoku and Jiraiya left. As the ninjas were leaving, Jiraiya opened his wooden sandals and went on to stand on all his limbs like a beast. His hands and legs also became thicker, resembling a frog.

As soon as Jiraiya transformed into this form, he attacked Jiryoku with full speed. Jiraiya's speed in this form was no joke. He immediately appeared in front of Jiryoku and threw a punch towards him. Although Jiryoku possessed 'Observation Haki,' he could only defend himself by placing his sword in front of him.

Upon the punch of Jiraiya hitting Jiryoku's sword, Jiryoku was dragged along the ground for quite a distance. After stabilizing himself, Jiryoku used Gravity fifteen times on himself, increasing his weight fifteenfold. Despite his increased weight, Jiraiya, with his incredible speed, punched Jiryoku on his chest. As Jiryoku had covered his chest with 'Armament Haki,' he wasn't hurt much. Even after his increased weight, Jiryoku was thrown quite far away and destroyed many buildings that came in his way.

"Haha, do you see how powerful the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku is?" said Jiraiya while making weird poses.

"Shut up! Jiraiya boy, see clearly, he is not injured in the slightest," reprimanded Shima.

"You are correct. In Sage-Mode, you are on a totally different level. Even though, if I want, I can procrastinate this battle and let you consume your Chakra so that you cannot maintain your sage mode. I assure you that you will not be able to harm me in the slightest. However, I am not one who will get continuously beaten without answering in kind," replied Jiryoku to Jiraiya's taunt.

As soon as the voice of Jiryoku fell, the EAM mark on his hand lit up, and black lines started spreading throughout his whole body, except his face. Over the past three years, when he was outside doing different missions, he had mastered the EAM mark to the third stage. However, for this fight, he didn't need to use the third stage, as the three times strength boost that comes from second stage of EAM mark is more than enough to deal with Jiraiya.

(A/N: If you forgot about EAM mark then refer to Ch-14.)

And after Jiryoku used the EAM mark, Jiraiya's face became solemn as he could feel that Jiryoku was more powerful than he was before using the mark.

"Is it some kind of curse mark created by Orochimaru that he gave to Jiryoku?" said Jiraiya in confusion.

"No, it doesn't seem to be the curse mark of Orochimaru. Instead, it seems as if the limitations of the body have been removed," said Fukasaku.

"You mean like the Eight Inner Gates?" asked Jiraiya.

"No, it is more like a thing where a human uses their body to its full potential. It is very different from the Eight Inner Gates," said Fukasaku.

Jiraiya was confused about what happened to Jiryoku, but Jiryoku didn't waste time explaining anything and disappeared from the place. He immediately appeared in front of Jiraiya and punched him in the stomach. This time, it was Jiraiya who was unable to react to Jiryoku's attack and was sent flying, destroying everything in his straight path after being punched by Jiryoku.

When the dust settled, Jiraiya punched the debris above him and came out coughing heavily, as he had difficulty breathing. Jiraiya knew that if he wasn't in sage mode, then it was most likely that he would have been seriously injured.

Just as Jiraiya was recovering, Fukasaku suddenly shouted, "Jiraiya boy, buckle up, he is coming."

As Fukasaku's voice fell, Jiryoku appeared in front of Jiraiya, flying, and held his head, embedding it in the ground and dragging it forward, creating a straight line.

But suddenly, at this moment, a large sword slashed at Jiryoku. It was Gamahiro who attacked Jiryoku from the front. However, Gamahiro kept in mind that Jiryoku could use Jiraiya as a shield, so he also attacked Jiryoku from behind using his another slash.

As predicted by Gamahiro, Jiryoku had to leave Jiraiya so that he could defend against Gamahiro's attack. Jiryoku threw away Jiraiya and unsheathed his sword, which was in his left hand, and defended himself from both sword attacks. Obviously, as Jiryoku was in the air using gravity, he wasn't that stable, and on top of that, the size of the sword was huge, making Jiryoku's sword seem like a needle in comparison. As a result, Jiryoku was thrown to the ground but managed to land smoothly without a hard impact due to gravity.

After landing, Jiryoku said, "I don't understand where you get the confidence to fight me."

After saying that, Jiryoku activated his Storm Chakra mode and disappeared from the place. Suddenly, several white light lines passed through Gamahiro's body, and Gamahiro stood there blankly without moving. Jiryoku was standing behind Gamahiro, sheathing his sword. As soon as Jiryoku sheathed his sword, multiple red lines appeared on Gamahiro's body, and a huge amount of blood gushed from those lines like a fountain.

Gamahiro is not some weak toad; he is one of the strongest toads present, and his defenses are as tough as mountains. However, after seeing the amount of blood gushing out from Gamahiro's body, it is clear that the cuts are very deep, and it is unclear if he will even be able to survive this injury.

"I am sorry; I can't be any further help in this battle," said Gamahiro as his voice fell, and he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"I am sorry, Hiro. Although I am ungraceful, I will surely take revenge for you," said Gamaken as he jumped in Jiryoku's direction.

"Gamaken, wait! Don't be impulsive," said Gamabunta, but before his voice could reach Gamaken, he had already taken off towards Jiryoku.

In response to Gamaken's attack, Jiryoku covered his sword with 'Armament Haki,' and his sword was covered in Storm Chakra as he slashed towards Gamaken's direction.

The slash was purple due to 'Armament Haki' and was very fast. Soon, the slash passed through the middle of Gamaken vertically. Gamaken, who was very close to Jiryoku, continued falling, but suddenly his body, along with his pan, turned into two halves vertically, falling on the two sides of Jiryoku, right and left.
