Seeing numerous Wood Release clones clad in Susanoo, Jiraiya remained unfazed, showing no hint of panic.
Behind him, five different chakra natures surged and intertwined, condensing into five divine warriors in an instant—Flame Titan, Thunder Titan, Earth Titan, Water Titan, and Wind Titan.
Jiraiya had now mastered the ability to summon divine warriors of five different chakra attributes. Each exuded overwhelming power, second only to his primary guardian deity.
Having absorbed the power of the Tailed Beasts, Jiraiya could now manifest these elemental warriors, each possessing immense strength and the ability to wield powerful ninjutsu. Their techniques reached the pinnacle of their respective elements.
The Flame Titan's Fire Release techniques had already reached their ultimate limit. Infused with Sage Chakra, these warriors were not ordinary constructs; they were embodiments of divine power.
Among them, the Wind Titan bore the markings of Shukaku, allowing it to wield Magnet Release. Meanwhile, the Flame Titan was imbued with the power of Matatabi and Son Gokū, while the Water God carried Isobu's strength.
Among the five, the Flame Titan was undoubtedly the strongest, infused with the power of two Tailed Beasts.
The emergence of these divine warriors caused Uchiha Madara's eyes to narrow sharply.
"Such an immense chakra presence... I acknowledge your strength," Madara declared with excitement. To encounter a worthy opponent besides Hashirama filled him with exhilaration.
Each divine warrior radiated dense chakra.
"Let's see if your strength can truly earn my recognition," Jiraiya responded calmly. It wasn't arrogance—he simply didn't know how much power Madara's deteriorated body could still unleash.
Age greatly diminished a shinobi's strength, especially one as battle-worn as Madara.
"Hahaha! You're the first to be so bold in my presence!" Madara laughed, raising his hands. His Wood Release clones leaped forward, charging toward Jiraiya.
With a mere thought, Jiraiya commanded the Flame Titan to hurl its massive gourd skyward. As it ascended, the gourd erupted with blinding flames, spewing molten lava that formed enormous fireballs, raining down upon the advancing Wood Release clones.
A thunderous explosion echoed as the fireballs struck, sending clones flying. Cracks spread across their Susanoo armor.
As the molten lava continued to pour, the number and size of fireballs increased exponentially, eventually engulfing every clone.
"This power... it's like that of a god. With such might, he could destroy an entire nation single-handedly."
"Even against Uchiha Madara, Jiraiya-sama remains dominant. This is incredible!"
"To live in the same era as such a god-like shinobi and witness his rise... what an honor."
"Susanoo, supposedly the ultimate defense, doesn't seem as invincible as the legends claim. Who would've thought it could be shattered so easily?"
"Easy? That's because it's Jiraiya-sama! If it were you, Susanoo would squash you into paste in an instant."
Despite Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders to retreat, many elite shinobi had stayed behind to witness this legendary battle.
The sight of Madara's clones, each wielding Susanoo, had already left the spectators in awe. But when those same clones were obliterated by Jiraiya's single attack, their shock reached new heights.
Jiraiya's strength was beyond comprehension.
The Wood Release clones were hurled away, their Susanoo shattered beyond repair.
It wasn't that Susanoo was weak.
Jiraiya's attack was simply too powerful.
Moreover, the Susanoo manifested by these Wood Release clones were only in their second form, still riddled with gaps in their defense. They simply weren't sturdy enough to withstand Jiraiya's assault.
After all, in the original timeline, even Ōnoki had been able to wipe out twenty-five Wood Release clones in a single move.
"Such terrifying power... If that attack hit me directly, I'd be reduced to nothing but ashes," Black Zetsu murmured in fear, watching the Flame Titan's devastating display.
Despite witnessing his clones being obliterated, Madara remained eerily calm.
Suddenly, his eyes spun violently, unleashing an overwhelming wave of ocular power directed at Jiraiya.
In that instant, Jiraiya felt his very soul being wrenched, his consciousness slipping away.
At Madara's level, genjutsu was nearly impossible to anticipate or evade.
As Jiraiya struggled against the illusion, Madara's fully manifested Susanoo swung its massive blade toward him.
Yet, in the next moment, divine light surged through Jiraiya's eyes, instantly breaking free from the genjutsu's grip.
His Insightful Eye granted him resistance to illusions—an ability further enhanced by a recent system reward. Now, it had evolved into the Divine Eye, capable of piercing through all illusions and manipulating space itself.
His eye could tear through dimensions, distort reality, and even exert influence over time itself.
It was similar to Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan, but vastly superior.
Unlike Obito's eye, Jiraiya's Eye could even manipulate the flow of time.
As he regained clarity, Jiraiya saw the twin blades of Susanoo descending upon him.
With a thought, the Thunder Titan beside him brandished a crackling guandao, intercepting the attack in a dazzling clash of lightning and chakra.
Madara's expression darkened.
"You broke free so quickly... It seems my genjutsu has no effect on you."
