"Now is not the time to worry about these things!" Fukasaku wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Jiraiya. "Are you sure you don't want to leave? We've just been through a major battle; we won't be able to get away!"

Jiraiya lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Boss. I can't leave. They are too dangerous. If we let them enter Konoha, the village will be in even more peril!"

"Well, alright," Sage Fukasaku sighed deeply. "In that case, I, an old man like myself, will have to show some real skill!"

"I have some energy within me that I've accumulated over the years, which I personally extracted. I will replenish the energy you've lost. Little Jiraiya, just go ahead and do what you must with confidence!"

Jiraiya smiled knowingly. "You're always so reliable, Boss."

"Hmph!" Sage Fukasaku looked at the Six Paths of Pain and said, "I won't lose in a contest of summoning techniques! Summoning Jutsu!"

An even more massive cloud of white smoke rose, accompanied by a rough complaint. "Boss, I just left, and you're calling me again! What troublesome opponents are we facing this time… Huh?! What are these?!"

When the smoke cleared, an enormous red toad appeared. It held a giant pipe in its mouth, had a bandage wrapped around its waist, and a short sword strapped to its back. The huge word "Oil" on its forehead revealed its identity: the great toad of Mount Myoboku, Gamabunta!

"Bunta, the situation is not good. The opponent has the Rinnegan, and there are six of them!" Jiraiya stood atop Bunta's head and quickly explained.

"The Rinnegan?! And six of them?!" Gamabunta's huge frog eyes glared at the group of eager summoning beasts and the indifferent Six Paths of Pain behind them. Suddenly, his scalp tingled. "You guy, you always cause such huge trouble!"

"There's no other way, Bunta. Let's deal with these big guys first!" After saying that, Sage Fukasaku used his summoning technique again. Two more puffs of white smoke appeared, and the equally huge Gamaken and Gamahiro appeared.

"Brother, is the enemy strong? I will try my best not to hold you back," Gamaken said, carrying a huge shield and a forked spear, his tone lacking confidence but his eyes firm.

"Hmph, looks like I can swing my swords to my heart's content," Gamahiro said, wielding two huge ninja swords, his spirit full of fight.

"Stop talking nonsense and go!" Gamabunta gave the order, and the three great toads attacked at the same time. A huge battle between the summoned beasts erupted instantly.

Gamabunta suddenly drew the short sword from his back. The huge blade, with a whistling sound, chopped fiercely at the psychic rhinoceros rushing at the front.

CLANG!

Sparks flew everywhere. The rhino's hard shell actually withstood the blow, but the massive impact still caused its limbs to sink into the ground, cracking the earth beneath it.

Gamahiro danced his two swords like windmills, the sharp sword light forming a death zone that directly covered the giant, multi-headed dog. The giant dog was extremely fast and split into several clones in an attempt to dodge, but was still chopped to pieces by the sword light, its main body also suffering several bloody wounds.

Gamaken raised his huge shield to block the fierce charge of the raging bull. The powerful force pushed him back a short distance, but he immediately stabilized himself and threw a huge forked spear with his backhand, accurately piercing the bull's back and causing it to scream in pain.

The strange, bird-like creature in the sky seized the opportunity, swooping down and grabbing at Jiraiya with its sharp claws. With the energy support of Sage Fukasaku, Jiraiya nimbly jumped over Bunta's head to dodge, while forming seals with both hands.

"Fire Style: Great Flame Bomb!"

A huge fireball shot up into the sky, forcing the monstrous bird to retreat.

"Yahiko, just wait! Even if you won't tell me, I'll force the answers out of you!"
