The Snake Sage emerged, Sage Art Susanoo struck down Butsuma

"Protect the Clan Leader!"

Three ninjas simultaneously charged towards Kyosuke.

The remaining two escorted Butsuma southwards, towards the direction of the Senju camp.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

Lightning Release: Earth Flow!

"What a spineless fellow, Butsuma Senju." Kyosuke pressed his hands to the ground, and three earthen walls suddenly rose up in front of him.

Earth Release · Earth Style Wall!

The power of Ninjutsu depends on two factors: the amount of Chakra it produces and the level of development of the corresponding element.

Kyosuke has an absolute advantage in these two aspects, so he can completely ignore the mutual reinforcement and restraint of Ninjutsu.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a Special-Made Kunai shot straight into the sky.

Kyosuke didn't intend to dawdle with them. After killing Butsuma Senju, he would have plenty of time to play with them at his leisure.

Just as he was about to move, a fireball suddenly hit the Kunai, burning away the Space Coordinates on it.

"Sigh, isn't it better to be alive?" Ignoring the three people who quickly surrounded him, Kyosuke calmed his mind and began to communicate with the Cursed Seal on his neck.

Soon, an extremely pure Senjutsu Chakra rapidly filled every corner of his body.

If you were to ask Kyosuke what changed the most in the past three years, it would definitely be that he exchanged for Intermediate Sage Body.

If we're talking about what caused the change in strength, it has to be successfully learning the Sage Mode from Ryūchi Cave.

Under the gentle discipline of Tagorihime Whip, Kyosuke successfully completed the conversion of Senjutsu Chakra.

By utilizing the properties of the Cursed Seal, it can be stored securely, and when needed, one can enter Sage Mode with a mere thought.

Previously, he had been unable to withstand the power of the immortals due to physical limitations.

As for now, he no longer has that worry.

As Senjutsu Chakra spread throughout his body, Kyosuke's appearance underwent a significant change.

A single horn grew from his forehead, his hair burned like flames, and several snake-shaped transparent Chakra surrounded his body.

At first glance, it may seem similar to the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, but in reality, the driving forces behind the two are completely different.

In this state, Kyosuke's strength and speed increased several times over, and his serpentine Chakra also possessed a variety of amazing uses.

In terms of basic strength, he has already stepped into the realm of Super Kage Level.

"Now, let's continue the enjoyable battle."

With a thought, the snake-shaped Chakra shot out, piercing through the thick smoke of the clashing Ninjutsu, and quickly arrived in front of one of the ninjas.

"What the hell?!" He slashed at the strange object with his sword, but the man's Samurai Sword shattered instantly, and the Phantom Snake bit a gash in his throat.

At the same moment, the Water Dragon Bullet and several Kunai successfully reached Kyosuke's side.

From the moment they chose to stay, they were prepared to risk their lives.

Therefore, the two also took advantage of their companion's death.

"Blind spot, he's dead!"

"Hmph, this is what happens when you underestimate the Senju Clan."

But before the two could even celebrate, the transparent Phantom Snake behind Kyosuke moved.

One of them casually tossed his head and easily sent the Kunai flying.

The other one opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of flame rich in pure Senjutsu Chakra.

Immortal Technique: The Tragedy of Karmic Fire!

The scorching flames instantly engulfed the water dragon, and then, with undiminished power, incinerated the second member of the Senju.

"I still have 70% of my Senjutsu Chakra left, that's enough." After quietly assessing his own condition, Kyosuke turned his head and looked at the last enemy not far away.

"You..."

Unfortunately, he didn't even have time to utter a last word before he was instantly devoured by the four Phantom Snake phantoms.

Looking in the direction the target had fled, Kyosuke now possessed an astonishing level of perception.

"I've found you, my dear Senju Clan Leader."

With a single step, he charged towards the enemy like a cannonball.

It wasn't until he was a full two seconds away from his spot that the ground suddenly collapsed due to the impact of kinetic energy.

The enemy was already moving very fast, but in front of the Snake Sage Kyosuke, they were no different from snails crawling.

By fleeing two minutes earlier, he managed to catch up with her in just seven seconds.

Upon seeing Kyosuke enter Sage Mode, Butsuma Senju immediately wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

As the Clan Leader of the Senju clan, Butsuma was quite well-read and could naturally recognize the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave by its outward appearance.

That's why he felt an unprecedented sense of panic at this moment.

Few outsiders know that the Senju have always kept the Shikkotsu Forest Contract Scroll.

However, the Slug Sage had been in a deep slumber for a long time, with only a small number of its clones active outside, so it never considered forming a contract to become a ruler.

His eldest son, Hashirama, once expressed his desire to learn Sage Mode, but Butsuma, considering the risks of practicing this technique, did not agree.

But he never expected that Uchiha Kyosuke had already completed his training in Ryūchi Cave.

Didn't the Slug Sage say that the old woman in Ryūchi Cave was difficult to talk to? How come she completed the test so easily?

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Butsuma Senju stopped in his tracks, letting the two clansmen beside him buy him some time.

While the two men went to resist, he Hand Seals and then lightly ran his finger along the Samurai Sword.

Soon, a layer of black markings spread across the entire blade.

This is the signature technique of Butsuma Senju, a combat skill that combines Cursed Seal and Swordsmanship.

Those struck by this curse will not only suffer physical attacks, but the damage inflicted by the Cursed Seal afterward is even more devastating.

The preparations were a bit troublesome, and we had to sacrifice the lives of two members of our tribe to buy time.

Ahead, Kyosuke had already eliminated two enemies without shedding a drop of blood.

"Fifty percent of Senjutsu Chakra remains."

Kyosuke's gaze swept over the Samurai Sword covered in black markings, and he sneered at his enemy, saying, "As expected of the Senju of the Forest, you can still be so righteous even when someone dies for you."

"I truly admire you."

"Enough with the nonsense." Butsuma Senju was already furious and, too lazy to say anything more, charged forward wielding his long sword.

Curse the Water Tyrant to be Slain!

A deep blue Cursed Water surged from the blade, and even the transparent Phantom Snake constructed from Senjutsu Chakra began to perish the moment they came into contact with it.

"It's done!" Upon seeing this, Butsuma Senju was overjoyed, and the scene of Kyosuke being killed by the Cursed Water seemed to appear in his mind.

With a clang, his Samurai Sword was blocked by a dark golden rib that suddenly appeared.

"Susanoo!" Butsuma's pupils dilated suddenly. The appearance of Susanoo was not surprising; he had long known about Kyosuke's power.

He just couldn't understand why Sage Mode and Susanoo were both additional abilities that placed a very heavy burden on the body.

How could he use all of these at once? Isn't he afraid his body will collapse?!

Wait, using both abilities together...

In a daze, the Senju Clan Leader seemed to realize something.

"Oh, your intuition is quite sharp." Kyosuke slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest to form a Hand Seals, and his eyes narrowed. Flesh, clothing, and armor were immediately put on the skeleton.

That wasn't the end of it. Suddenly, all the Senjutsu Chakra surrounding him gathered together and poured into Susanoo.

The enormous, dark gold creature gradually revealed pale green markings on its outer armor.

Sage Susanoo!

At this moment, Kyosuke finally possessed the strength to reach the Super Kage Level.

"Surprised?" Even with the blessing of Intermediate Sage Body, Kyosuke felt his blood boiling.

His Chakra consumption rate was faster than when he used any powerful Ninjutsu.

The transformed Kusanagi Sword in Susanoo's right hand. Before the violent strike could even land, the earth had already cracked beneath Butsuma's feet.

The seemingly massive and cumbersome slash is actually incredibly fast.

One second they made an attack gesture, and the next the blade was already on the enemy's head.

With nowhere to hide, the Butsuma could only roar and unleash his most powerful strike.

Curse Slash - Dragon Slash of Blade Qi!

The azure dragon roared and leaped, clashing with the giant sword that slashed down from above.

The power of this strike was astonishing, almost imbuing the opponent with all of its strength.

If it were an ordinary Clan Leader, he would probably have been killed on the spot by Butsuma's sword.

To be honest, there aren't many strong individuals in the entire Shinobi World who could withstand this attack, which is enough to demonstrate Butsuma Senju's terrifying dominance among Clan Leaders.

However, Kyosuke successfully elevated his power to another level through the combination of Senjutsu and Susanoo.

The terrifying dragon-like blade energy slash caused even the over ten-meter-tall, Three-Stage Susanoo to tremble uncontrollably.

Of course, it could only tremble slightly a couple of times.

The illusory Kusanagi Sword slashed down, and Butsuma Senju barely escaped death by sacrificing an arm.

"No, I can't..."

"We must not let this menace remain!"

With a single step forward, Butsuma Senju pushed his Chakra to its limit, essentially replicating the attack he had just delivered with his life.

Curse Slash - Dragon Slash of Blade Qi!

"Break it!!!"

Without the obstruction of the transformed Kusanagi Sword, the longsword instantly struck the Crow Tengu Armor.

The powerful dragon energy of the spell instantly tore through the outermost layer of armor, and the azure dragon roared, heading straight for Kyosuke's true form, which was wrapped in the innermost layer.

Armor, outer garments, flesh, and bones—layer upon layer of protection were shattered, and victory seemed to be within reach.

Just then, Kyosuke's left pupil suddenly lit up, and a strange, powerful force suddenly filled his surroundings.

"The Finality!"

Seeing this, Butsuma Senju, disregarding his shattered flesh, continued to compress the energy within his body to the extreme, "Die!!!"

But no matter how hard he tried, the blade was always a little bit away from Kyosuke.

It seems like a leap can be made in the blink of an eye, but in reality, it's an insurmountable distance.

Ultimately, when his Chakra was completely depleted, none of his attacks landed on the enemy.

[System notification: Successfully defeated Butsuma Senju, Points 38,000 points.]

"Cough cough cough." The moment he heard the system notification, Kyosuke finally couldn't help but bend over and cough.

Bright red blood kept seeping from the palm of the hand covering the left eye.

He used up too much Chakra.

"Finally, we succeeded." Staggering to his feet, Kyosuke put his black robe back on and turned to leave the Senju Clan's camp.

He needs to guard against enemy pursuit, and at the same time be wary of the existence of Hyuga Tennin.

The Dojutsu is extremely taxing and will require at least several days to recover.

It's a good time to go back to the Land of Whirlpools to recover from my injuries, so that girl won't keep complaining that I don't come to see her.
