On the pale earth, bones lay like a forest.
The extremely dense poisonous fog was almost liquefied, clinging to the branches of the bone forest and dripping down.
Shikkotsu Forest, truly lives up to its name.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru found it hard to believe that the Slug Sage, with his gentle voice and kind personality, actually lived in such a place.
This terrifying place is like a hell of bones.
Snap—
The enormous Slug Sage immortal roared and split into countless offspring.
Each sub-body is the size of a house and contains abundant Natural Energy.
Even after splitting into thousands of offspring, the Slug Sage's original body remains as imposing as a mountain.
"Forty-eight hours from now, the person holding the token will be promoted. There are no other rules."
"The Katsuyu might heal you, or they might attack you."
"You are also permitted to attack Katsuyu."
Orochimaru didn't look well.
The Three Great Sage Locations of the Shinobi World have a certain degree of mutual restraint.
Toad are afraid of snakes, snakes are afraid of Katsuyu, and Katsuyu are afraid of Toad.
This claim is widely circulated in the Shinobi World because Katsuyu venom is highly corrosive to snake skin.
The Three Snake Princesses following behind him felt extremely uncomfortable as soon as they entered the Shikkotsu Forest.
The great immortals of the Three Great Sage Locations are equal beings. Facing the Slug Sage gives them a suffocating feeling, similar to facing the White Snake Sage.
Etc...
The Three Snake Princesses' pupils contracted sharply, sensing something.
A little later than them, the others also sensed an extremely terrifying aura approaching.
Something's coming.
The earth roared...
Boom!!!
A section of the pale white earth split open, and an enormous white serpent burst forth from the ground!
"That is..."
"The White Snake Sage!!"
Hashirama Senju frowned and clasped his hands together.
"Mirror, is he an enemy?"
He possessed Sage Mode, and in his perception, the Natural Energy of this giant serpent was extremely powerful.
"It actually... it actually managed to summon the Shikkotsu Forest to the earth!"
"Lord Uchiha Kagami, you are practically the second Sage of Six Paths!"
The white snake spoke in human language, overjoyed.
The Great Toad Sage immortal, in his Katsuyu form, cannot leave this sacred place.
Of the three immortals, she was the only one who could move freely and was in the best condition.
The essence of advancing in extraordinary abilities is devouring and merging.
It's like the Ōtsutsuki Clan herding the Ten-Tails to absorb Natural Energy and obtain the Chakra Fruit.
Kagami Uchiha absorbs spiritual energy and transforms it into chakra.
On a micro level, humans also rely on food to sustain life.
The White Snake Sage is at a critical point.
She needs a lot of Natural Energy to help her evolve into a dragon.
The original goal was Mount Myōboku.
She was wary of the Great Toad Sage, who was connected to the Sage of Six Paths, and planned to invade Mount Myōboku once the old Toad died.
Shikkotsu Forest is not on her menu.
The Slug Sage cannot leave the Shikkotsu Forest, but she has no confidence in winning within it.
Both the giant Toad and she gave some of their Natural Energy to their people. This Katsuyu, on the other hand, was so powerful that she could feed herself without worrying about the rest of the family.
The White Snake Sage greedily absorbed the Natural Energy of the Shikkotsu Forest, and the dense fog visibly thinned out a little.
But after a short while, specks of blue appeared on her enormous white snake body.
She was poisoned.
It's okay, you'll be fine after digesting it.
Now that Shikkotsu Forest has reached the land, it has become my food!
She was about to continue absorbing the knowledge when, without realizing it...
Within those orange-yellow snake eyes, covered by the crimson color of the Sharingan, three Tomoe appeared.
"That's so rude."
Kagami Uchiha moved along the Katsuyu's body, step by step toward the frozen White Snake Sage.
"I haven't said you can eat yet."
Rumble...
The enormous body of the White Snake Sage was pulled from the earth, stretching for tens of thousands of meters without a tail in sight.
Kagami Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.
After feeding it the Dragon Vein Crystal, it should be able to be used as a step.
In his dark right eye, Tomoe appeared one by one, and four Tomoe formed a crown of thorns.
A black and red pupil mark landed on the White Snake Sage's forehead.
Crimson Demon.
Total domination.
When black and red completely filled the White Snake Sage's pupils, everything about her was controlled by Kagami Uchiha.
The terrifying length on the ground is only a small fraction of her.
Most of her body is still inside Ryūchi Cave.
That's about right, enough for me.
Kagami Uchiha looked up at the moon and smiled.
I'll be there to find you soon, just wait.
The White Snake Sage lay quietly before Kagami Uchiha, if not for the vast difference in their sizes.
Her posture is like that of a pet snake waiting to be petted by its owner.
No matter how incomprehensible something is, once it's associated with the name Kagami Uchiha, it becomes reasonable.
Even the Shikkotsu Forest could be fully connected to spirits, and the White Snake Sage was subdued...
It doesn't seem so hard to accept...
Yeah, right!
The Three Snake Princesses were so anxious that they could no longer maintain their human form.
What's going on?!
The chairman had just returned to the helm when the company was swallowed up. What are his subordinates supposed to do?
"Kagami-sama... you..."
Once again, Tagorihime was pushed forward to speak. She cried out, but dared not continue.
I don't know how to say it.
Kagami Uchiha tilted his head slightly. "It's you."
"You've done a good job with the previous work. Once it's finished, you can take over Ryūchi Cave. The White Snake Sage can't go back."
"Understood, Ryūchi Cave will certainly follow your will and obey your every command!"
"There's no need. Do whatever you want."
Kagami Uchiha didn't even look at these three small snakes.
It's okay to do artistic performances occasionally, but otherwise it's not very useful.
The White Snake Sage's enormous body encircled the Slug Sage, Kagami Uchiha's mind stirred.
Looking at the still-shocked crowd, Kagami Uchiha said calmly, "What are you looking at? The match has already started."
The group then came to their senses and looked around, discovering that several people were indeed missing.
In particular, a certain white-haired, red-eyed guy Body Flicker Technique chased after Kagami Uchiha when he threw out the crystal.
When the Three Snake Princesses turned around, she discovered that Orochimaru had already disappeared.
I was so stunned by the White Snake Sage that I completely forgot the most important thing!
Nagato Hand Seals, waited for a while, and then frowned.
"What's wrong?" Konan asked with concern.
"The abnormal energy here is too concentrated, making it impossible to use the Rain Tiger at Will Technique."
Kagami Uchiha looked at Nagato thoughtfully.
In terms of vitality, Nagato might be slightly better than Kushina and Karin.
However, he did not awaken the Adamantine Sealing Chains that they all possessed; otherwise, he would not have been unable to use it when dealing with the Eight-Tails.
Is it because it contains the Rinnegan?
Kagami Uchiha had no interest in delving deeper; even if Nagato, who possessed Wood Release, awakened the Adamantine Sealing Chains Nagato, it wouldn't significantly enhance his strength.
Nagato's abilities were already too numerous and varied.
In Kagami Uchiha's view, his Dōjutsu configuration was the simplest and most reasonable.
"Severance Release - Black Slash" is responsible for output, Yin-Yang Conversion provides auxiliary buffs, and also heals.
The Crimson Demon's control is a spatial and temporal confinement technique used by the Tsukuyomi.
That's enough.
Kagami Uchiha has always been doing is increasing the upper limit of these abilities, or developing the interaction between several Dōjutsu.
There's no need for anything fancy; as long as you can kill people while ensuring you don't get killed yourself, that's enough.
He has a clear plan and steps for his own evolutionary direction.
This martial arts exercise was not held solely for Shisui.
This is also...
As part of the plan.
Beneath the Shikkotsu Forest.
In absolute darkness, a tiny blue spark ignites.
The powerful warriors who have died since the start of the martial arts competition.
Apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi, who actively dissipated himself, everyone's souls were imprisoned here.
Soul...
It is a very good fuel.
