Gamashiri was sent hurtling through the air, struck by Gamamura's devastating 'Frog Kata.' As Gamashiri grappled with the pain, a swift and unexpected turn of events unfolded. Jiryoku swung his sword down with blistering speed, severing Gamashiri's right hand in a heartbeat.

The sudden amputation left Gamashiri stunned, and he clenched his teeth in agony. His hand lay on the ground, still twitching as if it had a will of its own. Jiryoku's attack had been a lightning-fast blur, and Gamashiri's diamond like defence had utterly failed him, leaving a bitter taste of defeat in his mouth.

The startling turn of events left Jiryoku bewildered. He had fully expected to end Gamashiri's life, but reality had other plans. Moments before he executed his strike, he had glimpsed a vision through his 'Observation Haki: Future Sight,' where Gamashiri was cleaved in two. The present, however, painted a drastically different picture.

Meanwhile, Gamamura leaped gracefully towards Gamashiri, landing beside him. Concern laced his voice as he inquired, "Are you alright, Sage Gamashiri?"

Gamashiri, his pain eclipsed by the gravity of the situation, responded, "You struck me to position me out of harm's way, didn't you? To shield me from Jiryoku's blow?"

Gamamura nodded in confirmation. "Indeed. I glimpsed a future in which Jiryoku's strike would cleave you in two. I couldn't allow that to happen."

Gamashiri sighed, realizing his overconfidence had led to this predicament. "It appears I put too much trust in my defenses, and he," he looked toward Jiryoku, "delivered on his promise by shattering my confidence."

Gamamura reassured him, "This isn't your fault. Your defenses are formidable, and I, too, believed you would remain unscathed."

Jiryoku intervened, his resolve unwavering, "Before I confronted you toads, I suspected you could glimpse the future for brief moments. It seems I was right."

Gamamura explained, "Yes, you're right. But because of your own future-sight ability, our predictions continually shift. It's nearly impossible to foresee precisely what's going to happen."

Jiryoku, his determination resolute, readied himself to strike Gamamura, stating, "Then it seems you should be my first target, Great Toad Sage."

However, before Jiryoku could launch his assault, Iwayado intervened, proclaiming, "You won't find it so simple." He exhaled a blazing torrent of fire, an inferno that surged toward Jiryoku. In response, Jiryoku created a 'Gravity Barrier,' effortlessly deflecting the flames away from himself.

Unperturbed by the fiery assault, Jiryoku prepared to continue his offensive against Gamamura. But just as he was about to strike, he felt an immense pressure bearing down on him from above. The force compressed him, leaving him immobilized and trapped in place, his attack halted abruptly.

The assailant descending upon Jiryoku from above was none other than Gamashiri. Just moments ago, Gamashiri, harnessing his natural chakra, had managed to staunch the bleeding from his amputated hand. He sprang into the air, positioning himself directly over Jiryoku. With a swift motion, he executed the 'Frog Kata' technique, unleashing a continuous compression of air upon Jiryoku. Due to Gamashiri's massive frame and immense weight, the pressure on Jiryoku intensified as he plummeted closer.

Thanks to Gamashiri's massive frame and substantial weight, the pressure bearing down on Jiryoku intensified exponentially as Gamashiri hurtled toward him. The magnitude of this pressure was astonishing, as evidenced by the crater that materialized beneath Jiryoku's form, remarkably resembling the shape of Gamashiri's own leg, like that of a colossal toad. In addition to this, Jiryoku's previously unyielding 'Gravity Barrier' was left trembling in response to the unprecedented force.

In an attempt to outmaneuver Gamamura's extraordinary 'Future Sight' with his own impressive speed, Jiryoku had refrained from employing his 'Observation Haki: Future Sight' up to this point. However, recognizing the impending danger, he countered Gamashiri's assault with his fearsome 'Graviton Pulse.' Two concentrated pulses of gravity surged towards Iwayado and Gamashiri.

With Jiryoku's gravitational onslaught redirected, the atmosphere began to shift. The 'Graviton Pulse' wielded by Jiryoku molded the very air itself, causing space to warp and fold as it surged toward Gamashiri and Iwayado.

In this critical moment, Gamamura, relying on his 'Future Sight,' foresaw the calamity that would befall Gamashiri and Iwayado if they were struck by this impending attack. He urgently bellowed, "Dodge this attack, both of you! Failure to do so will result in grievous injuries!"

In response to Gamamura's warning, both Iwayado and Gamashiri swiftly altered their positions, skillfully evading Jiryoku's devastating assault. The true extent of the attack's power was now apparent to all observers, as the ground in its path between Jiryoku and Iwayado was mercilessly torn asunder, creating a tumultuous and undulating landscape that extended over a considerable distance.

By this point, all the Kages had been witness to Jiryoku's formidable array of attacks, many of which possessed catastrophic area-of-effect capabilities capable of obliterating entire armies in an instant.

"Fool! You're a fool! Ain't he excessively formidable? He's even mightier than you," Killer B exclaimed in his signature rapping style as he cast a discerning gaze toward Raikage A.

"It's become apparent that the Kumogakure squad has been utterly decimated, and there's little they could have done to thwart him," Raikage A responded somberly, his expression reflecting the gravity of the situation.

"It's clear he's no fool to recklessly assail Mount Myoboku. He possesses the strength to substantiate his audacity," Eight-Tails interjected, his wisdom and insight shining through.

Both Jiraiya and Tsunade wore expressions of deep concern. It was troubling that Jiryoku had yet to unleash his mastery of 'Sage Mode.' What was even more perplexing was the complete absence of exhaustion on Jiryoku's countenance, despite the ongoing conflict. The tension among the onlookers grew as they pondered the extent of Jiryoku's power and endurance.
