Feeling the overwhelming surge of chakra coursing through him, Jiraiya couldn't help but smile.
With this, his chakra reserves were almost comparable to a tailed beast, turning him into a walking ninjutsu artillery. Wherever he went, ninjutsu could follow in waves, without a hint of worry about running out of chakra.
More than the sheer abundance of chakra, the incredible recovery speed alone could sustain him through the use of any technique.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Jiraiya performed the sealing technique once more, unleashing a torrent of chakra that materialized into twenty-eight golden chains. They extended forward, stopping only after reaching a length of about twelve meters.
Throughout this process, Jiraiya didn't feel even the slightest chakra depletion.
The sensation was completely different from before.
Manifesting twenty-eight golden chains and stretching them to their twelve-meter limit was the technique's maximum potential. Were it not for this cap, the immense reserves of chakra within Jiraiya could undoubtedly produce more chains and extend them even further.
"Not having to worry about running out of chakra... this feeling is just too satisfying," Jiraiya muttered as he controlled the golden chains, making them lash out and twist with ease. Despite the continuous use of chakra, his reserves remained untouched.
Next, he retrieved the Lightning Flame Blade, slashing his own arm lightly.
A sharp sting ran through his arm as a wound opened up, but before blood could even flow, the flesh began writhing, regenerating at an astonishing speed. Within moments, the wound had completely healed.
"This level of regeneration is simply absurd," Jiraiya remarked, clearly pleased with his newfound healing ability.
No wonder everyone in the original Naruto lore coveted Hashirama's cells. Such terrifying regenerative capabilities were bound to be highly sought after.
Beyond regeneration, Jiraiya's sensory abilities had also seen a significant boost. He could now clearly perceive the natural energy lingering in the air—something that used to be an arduous task for him.
With his current state, Jiraiya felt confident he could swiftly master Sage Mode, just like Hashirama Senju. The ability to instantly enter Sage Mode with a simple hand sign—without the need for prolonged absorption of natural energy—was now within reach.
In the original timeline, Jiraiya's Sage Mode was the most incomplete form, requiring the assistance of the two elder toads. Additionally, his hands had to remain in a constant seal during the process, and any interruption would result in failure. Even after entering Sage Mode, his face would take on a toad-like appearance.
But with a fully developed Sage Body, Jiraiya now had the strength of an elite jonin. In fact, he was confident he could hold his own against Kage-level opponents.
His chakra reserves and relentless regeneration made him capable of outlasting most foes in a battle of attrition.
"What's the purpose of the Soul Vessel?" Jiraiya asked, excitement still coursing through him.
"The Soul Vessel can absorb the souls of recently deceased individuals, storing them for future use," the system explained.
"You can use the souls stored within the Soul Vessel as offerings to the Shinigami, enabling the use of the Reaper Death Seal.
"However, the Soul Vessel has a limitation—it can only absorb the souls of elite jonin or higher. Souls below this level are too fragile to withstand the absorption process."
Jiraiya's eyes lit up. His system was as reliable as ever, providing exactly what he needed.
He had been pondering how to overcome the drawbacks of the Reaper Death Seal, and the system had handed him the solution.
Although the Soul Vessel could only store elite jonin-level souls, it was enough to mitigate the Reaper Death Seal's cost.
With a sufficient number of souls, Jiraiya could use the Reaper Death Seal without any personal repercussions. Even when facing Kage-level opponents, he could choose to fight head-on without hesitation.
Jiraiya eagerly extracted the Soul Vessel.
It was a palm-sized, pitch-black jar inscribed with intricate runes. A faint, ominous aura radiated from it, resembling the scroll that Uzumaki Mito had entrusted to him, which contained instructions for the Reaper Death Seal.
"Could this be something that originally existed in the ninja world?" Jiraiya speculated as he examined the Soul Vessel.
After all, the ninja world did possess various mysterious powers—like the Shinigami summoned by the Reaper Death Seal or the evil god worshipped by Hidan.
But Jiraiya didn't dwell on it for long. He trusted the system implicitly, certain that anything it provided would be free of hidden dangers.
"It's time to head to Mount Myoboku and train in Sage Mode," Jiraiya declared.
With his newfound Complete Sage Body, he now had the qualifications to train under Fukasaku and Shima. The two elder toads had once told him that his body wasn't suitable for Sage Mode, but now, Jiraiya was confident they
would change their tune.
If his current body couldn't handle Sage Mode, no one else in the ninja world could.
Jiraiya used the Summoning Jutsu to transport himself to Mount Myoboku.
"Gamabunta! I've developed a new technique! Come spar with me!" Jiraiya called out as he arrived and spotted the toad boss.
Hearing this, Gamabunta immediately leaped into the distance, shouting over his shoulder,
"Jiraiya, have some humanity! Can't you see I'm still covered in bandages? And they're still bleeding! How can you even think about sparring with me?"
Wrapped in bandages like a mummy, Gamabunta looked utterly miserable, with fresh blood still seeping through in places.
It was clear he hadn't yet recovered from his previous injuries.
Internally, Gamabunta was on the verge of collapse.
Damn it! I'm already half-dead, and you still won't let me rest? Are you a demon?
"Don't worry, Gamabunta! This time, it's not a blade technique. I won't cut you. I promise I'll be gentle," Jiraiya reassured him, leaping after the toad with a smirk.
As he closed the distance, Jiraiya formed hand seals, golden chains appearing around him. With incredible speed, the chains shot forward, wrapping tightly around Gamabunta.
