Chapter 534.1: The Price
The grasshopper-like creatures exploded as soon as they were only a meter or two above their target's head.
*BOOM-BOOM-BOOM...*
Deafening explosions reverberated throughout the area.
Su Xiao didn't shoot at the moment. He only fired when Jiraiya was trying to dodge the attacks of two of his comrades or wanted to release his ninjutsu.
The toad, along with the man at its feet, soon emerged from the smoke with burns all over its body.
— Are you all right?" Jiraiya asked with concern.
— No... Gamaken's expression wasn't very good, and soon a pool of blood formed under his huge body.
Jiraiya, seeing this, immediately started forming hand seals.
— Even though I'm clumsy, I can still fight, Jiraiya.
— You've helped me a lot, now get some rest, I'll call your brother.
— Then... Okay.
The huge toad turned into white smoke and disappeared.
— A call.
*Boom*
A large cloud of white smoke rose again. Jiraiya summoned a second toad.
— Jiraiya? A huge red-skinned toad with a pipe in its mouth asked. Its body shape was similar to that of a Hammock, but this toad used a different weapon and was larger than its younger brother.
This toad was already five meters tall.
This toad is Gamabunta, Gamaken's older brother.
— Gamabunta, on top! Jiraiya shouted at Gamabunta's head as Deidara dropped more bombs.
— Technic...
*BOOM!*
Jiraiya managed to dodge the bullet, but his attempt to activate the ninjutsu was interrupted.
Blood immediately flew into the air. This toad, just like the last one, was too big to dodge the Spider Queen's bullet, just like Jiraiya.
— It hurts, what kind of bastard attack is this?! Gamabunta snarled and pulled out a massive blade and, without saying a word, slashed it at Sasori, to which the Third Kazekage immediately responded with his own blow.
*BOO-Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo-M!*
Although this skirmish didn't hurt the Third Kazekage, it almost managed to seriously hurt Sasori in Hiruko.
Gamabunta was much more aggressive than Gamaken. As soon as it appeared, he immediately tried to kill Sasori, and although it didn't hit him, Hiruko became less active.
— Deidara stopped throwing bombs and stuffed clay into his mouth, then chewed on it for a long time, as if he was planning to make a serious move.
*Pum-pum-pum...*
Su Xiao continuously pulled the trigger, and bloody holes began to appear on the toad's body.
— Gamabunta, help me buy some time, " Jiraiya said. The tactics of his enemies were truly disgusting.
The third Kazekage and Sasori held them in place, and from time to time bombs fell from the sky, and in addition to all this, at the most important moments, they were hit by powerful attacks that did not allow him to do anything.
Jiraiya put some blood on his fingers and drew a strange symbol on his face, then put his palms together and strange vibrations began to spread out from his body.
Gamabunta knew what Jiraiya wanted to do, so he no longer took the initiative and stopped trying to kill Sasori, but tried to protect Jiraiya as much as possible.
Su Xiao and the two Akatsuki members ' actions were almost perfect at this point. Sasori, along with his puppet, occasionally threw out dozens and hundreds of needles and shurikens, all of which were poisoned, while not allowing him to move. Deidara was currently preparing a big move, but before that, he was constantly trying to blow up Jiraiya, and Su Xiao was just looking for an opportunity and kept preventing Jiraiya from doing anything.
Explosions and powerful collisions of various ninjutsu were constantly heard around the area.
Gamabunta not only had excellent blade skills, but the ninjutsu he unleashed wasn't weak either — he managed to completely suppress Sasori along with his puppet.
But Sasori didn't use all of his power, and neither did Deidara. However, Jiraiya wasn't doing his best either. All the people in this battle were still testing each other for flaws.
As for Su Xiao, he was currently in the safest place on this battlefield.
Right now, Jiraiya was clearly going all out. If he continued to drag out this fight, he might very well die.
The bullets were fired one after the other. Su Xiao had already emptied three magazines, and the Spider Queen's trunk was getting a little hot.
— G... Jiraiya, I can't take this anymore!
Gamabunta was covered in bloody holes, and there was a nasty gash on his front paw, where iron sand could be vaguely seen.
— Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. His technique was ready, and as soon as Gamabunta heard "Good" from Jiraiya, he immediately disappeared.
