"What on earth is this idiot Jiraiya doing? Why is he escaping into the woods? Isn't he just making himself a sitting duck?"
Tsunade saw Jiraiya's actions and couldn't help but clench her fists again.
She now thought that Jiraiya was seeking death by entering the woods on his own initiative.
Because it is not easy to dodge in the woods, and in that environment, the insects of the Aburame clan are more difficult to find and resist. After all, the insects are very small in size, and there are too many obstructions in the woods, which are extremely suitable for insects to hide.
It is possible that there are insects from the Aburame clan hidden under every leaf.
"Jiraiya is right to do this. He doesn't have any perception-based ninjutsu. He can only try to get close to Ryoma and wait for him to perform a ninjutsu to see if he can sense him. Then he can launch a counterattack and force Ryoma out of the dark. Only in this way can he have a chance of winning."
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Jiraiya's intention at a glance.
"I thought Jiraiya would just give up, but I didn't expect him to still want to win. It's really surprising." Orochimaru was also very surprised by Jiraiya's behavior.
"Maybe Jiraiya can really give us some surprises." Sarutobi Hiruzen is also very much looking forward to Jiraiya's next performance.
"What surprises can he give us?"
Tsunade said with a pout.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh"
As Jiraiya entered the woods, two kunai flashing with cold light flew in front of him.
Jiraiya took out the shuriken hanging on his waist and swung it forward.
"bump"
There was a sound of metal colliding, and two kunai were knocked down by Jiraiya's shuriken and fell to the ground.
Jiraiya landed on a thick branch and looked around, but found no trace of Ryoma.
The trees were all overgrown, severely obstructing the view.
"I didn't expect this guy to have the guts to catch up with me."
Ryoma, hiding in the dark, originally thought that Jiraiya did not have the courage to follow him into the woods, and Jiraiya's behavior also exceeded his expectations.
Now Longma was lying under a dead leaf, with many gray insects covering his body, obscuring his breath.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of black insects with transparent wings crawled out from under Longma's sleeves.
After crawling out, these insects immediately drilled into the dead leaves on the ground, and then crawled silently in the direction of Jiraiya.
Ryoma did not use any ninjutsu to release the bugs, so there was no sound.
"It's really a headache not to have a perception-type ninjutsu."
Jiraiya kept jumping on the trees, searching for Ryoma's trace, but found nothing. If he had mastered the Wind Style Technique, he would never be like he is now, in the dark, waiting passively.
The insects crawled very fast. Even though Jiraiya was constantly jumping, the swarm of insects that Ryoma had released earlier was able to keep up with Jiraiya's speed.
Just as Jiraiya jumped up from a tree and was about to jump to the tree in front, Ryoma quickly formed seals with both hands.
"Ninja Technique Mushiro."
The insects that were originally crawling under the leaves all flapped their wings and suddenly soared into the sky. They all released their Chakras and connected with each other to form a thin insect rope, which wrapped around Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was in mid-air at this time and couldn't dodge at all.
It can be said that Ryoma's timing of attack was very good, which immediately put Jiraiya into a difficult situation.
Without any surprise, Jiraiya was directly tied up by the bug rope and fell to the ground.
The bugs began to crawl on Jiraiya's body, constantly shrinking the bug ropes, completely binding Jiraiya's hands and body together, making him unable to move.
Once a ninja loses his hands and can no longer make hand seals, he is no different from an ordinary person.
"it's over."
Ryoma said softly.
In the next second, he was dumbfounded, because the Jiraiya he bound suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated with a bang. What he trapped was just a clone.
"When did this happen?"
Ryoma was extremely shocked, because Jiraiya was under his insect watch the whole time, and he didn't see Jiraiya perform the Shadow Clone Technique at all.
"Teacher, when did Jiraiya use the Shadow Clone Technique?"
Not only Ryoma looked confused, but even Tsunade, who had been watching the battle, did not see when Jiraiya used the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Jiraiya had already performed the Shadow Clone Technique when he first entered the woods. The Jiraiya you see now has always been his clone."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up.
When Jiraiya just entered the woods, he found that he was surrounded by trees, so he directly used the Shadow Clone Technique, and his real body hid behind a tree.
Aburame Ryoma is not a member of the Hyuga clan and does not have the extremely heaven-defying insight of the Byakugan, so he did not realize that Jiraiya's true body had been hiding behind the tree.
"Teacher, there was indeed a blind spot when Jiraiya entered the woods, but with Jiraiya's speed, that blind spot could only block him for a second at most. Did he perform the Shadow Clone Technique in that second?"
Orochimaru asked with a serious look on his face.
Jiraiya did not stay in that blind spot for too long, so he could only use the Shadow Clone Technique within one second. If he stayed too long, it would definitely arouse Ryoma's suspicion, and he would definitely release insects to explore that blind spot, and Jiraiya's plan would fail.
The reason why Ryoma fell into the trap was that he did not expect that Jiraiya could use the Shadow Clone Technique in just one second.
"Yes, Jiraiya just performed the Shadow Clone Technique in just one second. I was also very surprised."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said.
"Sensei, are you sure Jiraiya can complete all the seals of Shadow Clone Technique in one second?" Tsunade said in disbelief.
They practiced Shadow Clone Technique together, and when he and Orochimaru learned it, Jiraiya hadn't even figured out the hand seals yet.
Now suddenly I heard the teacher say that Jiraiya can perform Shadow Clone Technique in one second.
This is even more unbelievable than Jiraiya not going to the women's bathhouse to peek for a week.
"This is indeed hard to believe, but Jiraiya really did it." Danzo, who was standing aside, said, and was also very surprised by Jiraiya's speed in forming seals.
"Fire Style Flame Bomb."
When Ryoma was casting the Bug Rope, Jiraiya, who had mobilized Chakra, had sensed it and immediately cast the Body Flicker Technique to get closer to it. Then, while moving, he quickly formed seals with his hands and a fireball emitting scorching heat spewed out of his mouth.
