Tsunade brought her thumb up to her mouth and bit it hard, drawing blood, and then she made a series of hand signs, yelling, "Stay away from my brother! Summoning Jutsu!" Tsunade yelled, drawing everyone's attention to her.
With a puff Tsunade felt all the chakra in her body drain as, with a puff of smoke, a whitish-blue slug about half the size of Tsunade
With her last signs of consciousness before she passed out, Tsunade whispered, "Heal them, Lady Katsuyu," as she transferred some of her healing chakra through Katsuyu as her vision darkened.
Katsuyu, seeing this, simply said, "Yes, Mistress Tsunade," as she split into three, one slithering quickly to Hiruko.
Yosuke, not understanding what was going on, still knew he had to stop this as he rushed in, picking up Ichi's sword as he made a move to stab Hiruko.
But before he could, a white-haired figure with red lines extending from his eyes threw a punch at the left side of Yosuke's face; it was Jiraiya.
Though due to Jiraiya being a Genin, this punch was incredibly slow; Yosuke, seeing this, simply dodged the punch and then kicked Jiraiya hard in the stomach, causing Jiraiya to be launched hard.
However, this distraction gave Katsuyu enough time to reach Hiruko, healing him slightly, just enough to get him to a place where his increased biological healing could take over.
After healing him, Katsuyu disappeared in a puff of smoke but not before saying, "Good luck."
Hiruko knew he couldn't defeat all three. Jonin by himself racked his brain on what to do; everything would either not take all three out or couldn't be done due to the close proximity of his comrades.
'Time to take a gamble.' Hiruko thought as he began forming handsigns. Yosuke, seeing this, rushed in but was met with a minor force launching him back just far enough to buy Hiruko some time.
And as Yosuke tried again and again to get close, he was met with the same pressure.
'This kid needs to go,' Yosuke thought darkly.
Hiruko finishing his hand signs created two identical clones.
"Get Tsunade and the others out of here; I plan on using that." Hiruko said to his clones,
Hiruko's clone on the right immediately complained, "The theoretical blast radius is more than we could cover, especially with add-ons."
The clone on the left also spoke up: "Plus, you'd also be caught in the blast radius. Not to mention, aside from almost using it in your battle against Sakumo, you've never even tested it; it's all theoretical, and watching it in an anime doesn't count."
Hiruko, hearing their concerns, frowned. "I know, I know, but we have no choice. Do you want them to die?" Hiruko said, eyeing each clone, seeing each clone shake their heads no. Hiruko said,
"Then go; I can only buy like five minutes," Hiruko said as both clones disappeared with Tsunade and Jiraiya, who Youske didn't try to stop from leaving his body. To him, Hiruko was the dangerous one that needed to die.
"You three back me up; this kid needs to go." Yousuke said as Kyousuke and Ichi, who had a ripped piece of his clothes tied around his neck. He was using chakra to keep the blood in and stay alive, though he'd need medical attention soon.
Hiruko, watching the three, took a deep breath as he charged at them while his mind wandered to when he had his second confrontation with Sakumo.
Flashback (Ch. 20)
'So you have no intent to stop him, huh?' Hiruko thought seeing the man making no move to stop Sakumo
'What a drag.' Hiruko thought emulating a certain character
Extending his hand, a translucent circle of energy appeared under Sakumo; however, instead of the pressure being on his body, Hiruko concentrated it on the sword, which Sakumo had already drawn.
'What the—' Sakumo thought, noticing the added pressure on his sword, but contrary to what Hiruko thought, Sakumo didn't drop his sword; instead, he strained his muscles, keeping the sword in his hand, using momentum to make his way toward Hiruko.
'Shit' Hiruko thought about planning to use a new technique he'd been working on for the past month and a half, but suddenly a voice of absolute power erupted.
"Stop!!" At that moment both Hiruko and Sakumo stopped in their tracks, their power draining from their bodies.
— Flashback end
Hiruko, who was struggling to keep up with three Jonin ninjas, had cuts and injuries all over his body; if not for the Press-Press fruit and the fact he was focusing on dodging more, he would already be dead.
[Host, you have completed the mission: Ensure teams' survival.]
[You have received the reward: Batto Batto no Mi.]
[The host is locked in combat and not alone; reward integration will be put on hold.]
Hiruko, seeing this, smiled; he'd been waiting for this message because it meant his team was far enough.
Hiruko distanced himself from the Jonin, activated his press-press fruit to the max, and focused all his gravitational force into one point, adding more and more. Blood poured from his ears, mouth, nose, and any surface it could.
The pressure growing more and more began to start to pull everything in Earth—trees, even Hiruko himself.
The Jonin, seeing this, felt immense danger from the technique.
Yosuke was the first to speak: "Kill him now!!!" He said seriously that Jutsu was beyond anything he could comprehend and that a child that young shouldn't have that much power.
Kyousuke and Ichi, hearing this, immediately rushed in, their killing intent palpable.
But it was too late. Hiruko, who had kept adding more and more pressure, now held a miniature black hole.
Biting his thumb, drawing blood, Hiruko smiled somewhat sadistically. "Hey assholes, if you somehow live, remember to tell your villages the next time they come after me, my family, or anyone who is close to me to remember that I am a miracle born from this world, the one who will become a great god, the life that should be despised above all, and ultimately a first-class singularity that can swallow your village whole."
Hiruko said as he laughed manically, dropping his miniature black hole and forming several hand signs.
'I know I talked all that smack, but please let me be lucky. I don't want to die. Hopefully I wasn't too cringy saying that it's just that Sinbad is so cool. Maybe I should have called myself the honored one instead. No, I need to levitate for it to be cool. Hiruko thought internally, distraught over which cool monologue he should've done.
