The fireball whizzed away, and all the leaves along the way were ignited one by one.
Jiraiya did not use his full Fire Style Flame Bomb, he only released one Flame Bomb.
This would allow Ryoma to misjudge his strength.
In this way, he can better defeat Longma in the next battle.
Some strategies are extremely useful in battles between ninjas.
A good strategy can definitely allow a less powerful ninja to defeat a stronger opponent.
Among the Chūnin at this level, ninjas who have mastered the Fire Style Flame Bomb can almost only release one Flame Bomb.
Ryoma would never have dreamed that he could release three fire bombs at the same time.
I can give Longma a big surprise later.
When Ryoma discovered that it was Jiraiya's clone who was bound by the ninjutsu, he knew that he had been exposed and prepared to use the defensive ninjutsu, Insect Release, Insect Wall.
When the fire bomb was about to fall on him, a large number of black beetles flew out from his body and quickly gathered together to form an insect wall, which looked like a black shield from a distance.
This jutsu is the most commonly used jutsu by the Aburame clan. The strength of the defense depends entirely on the controlled insects.
"Boom"
The fire bomb hit the insect wall, making a loud bang and sparks flying, and a burnt smell immediately appeared in the air.
Half of the black beetles that formed a wall of insects were directly burned and fell to the ground.
Aburame Ryoma felt a trace of pain in his eyes, because breeding ninja insects was not an easy task.
After blocking the fire bomb, Aburame Ryoma immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and continued to escape deeper into the woods, trying to hide again.
Jiraiya naturally would not let Ryoma succeed again, so he used the Body Flicker Technique to follow up, and took out three shuriken and shot them at Ryoma's back.
Ryoma also threw out three shurikens with his backhand. There was a sound of metal collision, and the shurikens fell to the ground one after another.
The power of ordinary shurikens is extremely limited and it is difficult to hurt the enemy, except when there are a large number of them.
Only shuriken made of special metals that can guide Chakra can have great power.
However, ninja tools like these are extremely precious and extremely difficult to obtain.
"Bug Escape Bug Rope."
Seeing Jiraiya chasing him closely, Ryoma once again released the insect with transparent wings, which condensed into a rope and wrapped around Jiraiya.
Jiraiya took out several more shurikens and threw them at the bugs.
Due to the extremely fast speed of this insect, the insect rope it formed was also extremely flexible. It easily avoided the shuriken and approached Jiraiya with a buzzing sound.
"It's really troublesome."
Jiraiya formed seals with his hands and once again unleashed the Fire Style Flame Bomb. A fireball emitting an astonishing temperature whizzed forward.
Before the fireballs hit the bugs, they made crackling sounds and fell to the ground.
Fire Style is extremely effective against Bug Escape, as most bugs are afraid of high temperatures.
The insects condensed into insect ropes are fast enough, but their defense is far weaker than that of the black beetles and they are extremely fragile.
Jiraiya killed all the bugs with just one fire bomb.
"Teacher, why do I feel that the power of Jiraiya's fire bomb is much greater than before."
Tsunade, who was watching the battle outside, said with some uncertainty.
She had fought with Jiraiya in the past and was well aware of the power of Jiraiya's fire bomb.
In a previous duel, she even used her fists to smash the fire bullet that Jiraiya spat out into pieces without any injury.
But the power of the fire bomb that Jiraiya now unleashed was astonishing.
"It is indeed stronger than before. The Fire Style flame bombs that Jiraiya uses now contain more concentrated Chakra than before. When you compete with Jiraiya in the future, you must never use your fists to block them, otherwise you will get burned." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
I am even more looking forward to Jiraiya's next performance.
He actually accepted Jiraiya as his apprentice out of political considerations.
Because Jiraiya was born into a civilian family and his parents died in the war, he accepted Jiraiya as his apprentice, and some of the lower-level civilian ninjas would respect him even more.
Otherwise, he would definitely not have accepted Jiraiya as his apprentice.
In fact, he was planning to give up on Jiraiya in his heart because Jiraiya's qualifications were really too poor.
In the original work, if Jiraiya had not reverse-Summoned to teleport himself to Mount Myōboku and met the Great Toad Sage while practicing the Summoning Technique, he might never have become a Jōnin in his life.
Now that Jiraiya has suddenly become stronger, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also extremely happy. No one wants to accept a waste as a disciple.
The only disciple Sarutobi Hiruzen truly wanted to take on was Orochimaru.
He chose Tsunade as his apprentice out of political considerations, in order to better win over the Senju clan and suppress the Uchiha clan.
"Did he pretend to be so weak on purpose before?"
Orochimaru couldn't help but wonder in his mind when he saw how strong Jiraiya had suddenly become.
"It's absolutely impossible for you to slip away from under my nose again."
Jiraiya said loudly, continuing to spit fire bullets at Ryoma.
Anyway, he has a Sage Body, and his Chakra can withstand his consumption.
On the other hand, the bugs on Aburame Ryoma's body cannot be endless, and sooner or later there will be a moment when they are used up.
The black beetles on Aburame Ryoma's body were rapidly decreasing. After finding that he could not shake off Jiraiya, he jumped onto a tree, turned around quickly, and threw out three bugs.
It looks very strange, just like a ball with four pairs of wings. The wings are also very strange, as thin as cicada wings, but shaped like a knife.
"Bug Escape, Bug Cut."
Longma formed seals with his hands and shouted loudly. He then saw that three insects that were originally only the size of fingernails suddenly had huge Chakras emerging from their bodies and their size instantly became the size of a palm.
The wings also began to flap, and a wind-attribute Chakra covered them, making the wings, which were originally as sharp as knives, become even sharper.
Three insects rushed towards Jiraiya. As they flew, they created wind blades. Wherever they flew, the trees were instantly cut off by the wind blades. The wind blades were extremely sharp and powerful.
This insect is called the Kazekiri insect, and it is a special insect that the Aburame clan has spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
This insect contains a large amount of wind-attribute Chakra and can be used in conjunction with various Wind Style Ninjutsu.
"Fire Style Flame Bomb."
Jiraiya formed seals with his hands and once again spurted out a fire bomb, covering the three ninja insects!
But before the fire bomb could hit the insect, it was cut and blown away by the wind blade.
