The entire Mount Myōboku began to tremble violently.
What is described as a mountain is actually more like a small, alternate Alternate Dimension that exists alongside Earth.
It's no different from the Isshiki Alternate Dimension where the Ten-Tails are stored.
The specific connection channels are unknown; only those with mastery over space are capable of entering.
As for its shaking, it should be caused by the frenzied convergence of Natural Energy.
In Kyosuke's eyes, Toad at this moment seemed to have transformed into Uzumaki, gathering all the Natural Energy of the surrounding world into his body.
This scene is strikingly similar to Naruto's battle against the Ultimate Susanoo.
"Why do I feel like all these righteous people use pretty much the same methods?" Kyosuke rubbed his chin, looking completely unconcerned.
Slurp it up, slurp it to your heart's content! It won't be as satisfying without some seasoning.
Staring at the Toad in front of him, Kyosuke clicked his tongue in amazement. It was uncertain how much the toad's strength had increased, but its size was truly growing larger and larger.
If you kill it and throw it into Ryūchi Cave, it would be enough to feed a group of Great Serpent for three months.
Roar!!!
Perhaps sensing its master's thoughts, the Ten-Tails suddenly roared violently, its voice filled with accusations against Kyosuke.
"Just kidding, don't be angry, this big Toad is all yours." He was slightly embarrassed, not expecting the ugly thing to be so possessive of its food.
At this moment, the Great Toad Sage finally finished charging up his power, and his pockmarked face became noticeably calmer.
Regardless of its actual strength, Kyosuke dares to say that the giant Toad's combat experience is practically zero.
When Naruto faced the Ultimate level, he used his own body as bait to barely create a gap in his ability to absorb Natural Energy.
And even then, it was almost too late.
That Toad is really something, blatantly gathering its strength over there. Is it looking down on Uchiha Kyosuke?
If it weren't for preserving the food's integrity, Kyosuke would have had ten ways to take it down the moment it started charging up.
Ten kinds!
"Sigh." Mo Ming sighed, stomped his foot on the stupid thing below, signaling it could start working on the big meal.
Come to think of it, I haven't even eaten yet.
"I'll play along with your nonsense on an empty stomach, and you'll be grateful, you filthy thing..." Kyosuke was deeply moved by his own self-pity.
Meanwhile, the Toad who had fled their homeland soon arrived at the Shikkotsu Forest.
What came into view was a large army of plump, white, and incredibly juicy Katsuyu.
"This is paradise on earth." Gamabunta's pipe fell to the ground.
*Slap! Sage Fukasaku slapped it hard across the face, while secretly wiping away the drool from the corner of his mouth.
"It truly is paradise." Of course, it wouldn't say that aloud.
After briefly explaining their purpose, the head of the Ninja Sect, who was hiding in this place, immediately came to make contact.
The person in charge held his breath as he took the large jar from Gamabunta, his eyes revealing a hint of fervor.
He certainly knew what was inside, and even knew that it was because of it that the Great Toad Sage hadn't moved his body for a thousand years.
It wasn't because of laziness, but because of a promise I made to a good friend.
The jar contained a corpse—the corpse of the Sage of Six Paths.
Nourished by the Great Toad Sage, the corpse was able to remain immortal for a thousand years and gradually transform into a state suitable for consuming the Senjutsu Fruit.
It's fair to say that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo did a lot of preparation in order to achieve a state comparable to her mother.
He just never expected that an Uchiha Kyosuke would appear in the world out of nowhere.
Not only did Isshiki, whom even his mother considered a formidable enemy, perish, but now he has extended his reach to the three unknowable sacred sites.
This move is tantamount to directly engaging in war with the Sage of Six Paths.
"He will definitely pay the price for his arrogance," the person in charge said.
Hearing his words, both the Toad and the Katsuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy is too powerful; they alone cannot stop them.
If the Sage of Six Paths could truly be resurrected, then no matter who comes, they will only face defeat.
Unfortunately, they didn't see it; a hint of helplessness flashed in the person in charge's eyes.
The Ninja Sect has been in seclusion for a thousand years, relying entirely on Sage Talisman from the Sage of Six Paths to slow down the flow of time.
Outsiders may perceive him as merely a mythical figure, but in reality, whenever an agent enters the mortal realm, they must first meet with the Sage of Six Paths.
However, people have recently noticed that the immortal's thinking seems to have changed somewhat.
It's become... I don't know how to put it.
In the past, upon learning of the troubles at Mount Myōboku, he would have immediately dispatched people to handle the situation.
Don't say that Uchiha Kyosuke too powerful; he knows that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' brother is still alive.
Could it be that this person is also no match for the Uchiha?!
As for the reason for not taking action...
It's quite simple: the Senjutsu Fruit is about to ripen, and the Sage of Six Paths is unwilling to take risks during this special period.
Kyosuke is one, and Kaguya is another. He feared that these beings might become aware of his arrangements and try to seize them.
To be on the safe side, he didn't even allow his younger brother to act on his own.
This is why the Ninja Sect hasn't been active in the Shinobi World much lately.
Everything is for the sake of the obsession with the Six Paths existence.
Indeed, in the eyes of the person in charge, absorbing the Chakra Fruit and allowing life forms to evolve had become an obsession in the mind of the Sage of Six Paths.
No, "demonic thoughts" would be a more accurate description.
Just like those descendants of Indra who unlocked the Mangekyō, it wasn't that they wanted to do certain things, but rather that they couldn't control the boiling negative emotions in their hearts.
Absorb the Chakra Fruit, stop the war, create a better world, and avenge the person who hurt my brother...
Under the influence of that obsession, a person gradually becomes less and less like themselves.
The most fatal flaw is that even if they realize there's a problem, they can always convince themselves otherwise.
There is no doubt that the Sage of Six Paths has also been affected.
As for the reason, he guessed it was related to the previous failed spiritual fruit.
In order to fight Isshiki, the Sage of Six Paths forcibly took over the body of the Corrupted Self, which resulted in his own spirit being corrupted.
These things were no secret; not only did the Ninja Sect members know them perfectly well, but even the Ōtsutsuki brothers knew everything.
The key question is, even if I knew, what good would it do?
Even if the news were spread, let alone the Sage of Sage of Six Paths himself, many people would probably disagree with facing Uchiha Kyosuke at this moment.
To save a group of Toad and Katsuyu, he abandoned the mission that the Ninja Sect had upheld for a thousand years.
Is it worth it?
"To be honest, I don't know if it's worth it," the person in charge muttered with a wry smile. "I just know that I won't abandon my friends and run away alone."
He handed the jar to his companion, and then, ignoring the advice of others, resolutely chose to return to the Shikkotsu Forest to live and die with his group of strange friends.
"That's why I joined the Ninja Sect back then."
"Sitting in seclusion for a thousand years is not a reason for me to abandon my original aspirations."
There is no absolute black and white in this world.
Mythical figures, celebrated through generations, may not be entirely perfect.
A person who is considered a great villain by many may be seen as a kind person by others.
Just like this man, from the moment he abandoned his identity as a member of the Ninja Sect, everyone who saw him would be filled with awe.
Whether it was foolish or not, his choice is at least worthy of respect.
Of course, the man would inevitably have to bear the consequences of being Kyosuke's enemy.
There is no absolute distinction between good and evil in the world, but the difference between strength and weakness is obvious.
Kyosuke would admire such a person, but he would never show her any mercy because of it.
People must bear the consequences of their choices.
No one is exempt.
The fierce battle at Mount Myōboku lasted for a full two hours.
Through countless clashes, Kyosuke finally figured out the Ten-Tails' current fighting strength.
Well, it's just so-so.
It's okay for beating noobs, but it's not very effective against top-tier players.
From the very beginning, the Ten-Tails was created to absorb Chakra in order to create a fruit capable of igniting Divine Flame.
In terms of combat, it's at best a battery, the kind that needs to be recharged regularly.
Having quelled the fat creature's agitation, Kyosuke slowly floated up, preparing to personally end the battle.
The Great Toad Sage very strong. Without his Susanoo, the Ten-Tails might not have been able to defeat it in a short time.
A contest of this caliber would likely take at least ten days to two weeks to determine a winner.
Even if they ultimately win, they will most likely wear down Toad until he dies.
Not wanting to waste time, Kyosuke decided to use the Space Passage to deal with his opponent.
Having an excessively large body is not always a good thing.
"Hmm?" Suddenly he frowned and looked at the Toad face opposite him.
"Unable to use spatial abilities." This must be a unique Sage Talisman from Mount Myōboku.
In ancient times, a single talisman could revive Ōtsutsuki Hamura, so confining a space now seems like no big deal.
Bang!
With a powerful stomp of his feet, Kyosuke swiftly reached the giant Toad's side amidst a series of sonic booms.
Using spatial abilities is just a habit; in terms of speed, it might not be slower than teleportation.
"Good timing." Toad had been on guard against him all along, and now that the formidable enemy had finally made his move, he immediately unleashed a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky.
With its capabilities, it can fully utilize the Natural Energy within the atmosphere to forcibly compress the enemy's movement trajectory.
Speed?
Sorry, but speed is irrelevant when it comes to this.
With a deafening roar, Mount Myōboku once again endured terrifying pressure, but when it raised its hand, it discovered that there were no humans in the deep pit.
It was crushed into a bloody mist?
That's unlikely, especially since it still sensed the enemy's Chakra.
The Great Toad Sage, filled with doubt, did not notice that something strange seemed to have appeared inside his body.
The Sukunahikona can shrink his body to a near-microscopic size, to the point that even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan cannot perceive it.
Then it can easily penetrate the enemy's body.
Even after Goku shrunk down, he could still squeeze into his sister-in-law's body and wriggle around inside.
There's no reason why Isshiki Dojutsu wouldn't work.
He believed that the stinky Toad possessed extraordinary strength, and who knew how long it would take to fight it head-on.
Instead of wasting time, he might as well use a dirty trick. If even Goku could make his sister-in-law beg for mercy, he refused to believe that he couldn't subdue a Toad.
"Ugh, this feels kind of disgusting."
