Chapter 535
"I haven't tried throwing a slug in yet."
The Akito pointed to the ground and said.
If you keep throwing slug clones into it, will new "enlightenment" emerge?
By then.
How will a slug vs. slug battle end?
If the controlled slug merges with the Slug Sage's true form, will it corrupt the Slug Sage's true form?
"Since you're my enemy, I don't mind giving it a try."
"..."
The slug fairy remained silent.
After a long while, it slowly opened its mouth.
"You are the strongest mortal I have ever seen."
Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, could hardly compare to him.
Perhaps only a powerhouse at the Six Paths level could defeat him.
"But you destroyed Konoha, I was merely fulfilling my promise to my contractor..."
The Slug Sage's contract was undoubtedly with the Senju Clan.
Including Sakura, it's the Senju lineage, the Senju school.
The Will of Fire is passed down through generations.
May it last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years.
... That's probably what the Slug Sage was thinking.
"I will spare Tsunade and Sakura's lives."
The Akito nodded, understanding perfectly.
"In return, whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you'd better keep your distance and not cause me any trouble. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will become of Tsunade and Sakura."
Slug Sage, you wouldn't want Tsunade and Sakura to lose their lives, would you?
"I see..."
"It's a slug," the slug sage said in a soft, low voice.
Despite being a huge creature, it has the voice of a soft, gentle girl.
After reaching a temporary agreement with the Slug Sage.
The Akito then prepared to move on to the next step.
The Akito man quickly Hand Seals, and the slug immortal, who had lived for over a thousand years, quickly recognized the effect of the seal.
"Is it... a secret technique of the Tsuchigumo Clan?"
Because of 1000 years of dedicated research into Natural Energy.
The Slug Immortal immediately realized that Akito wanted to absorb Natural Energy.
Just as she had guessed.
The Akito are preparing to move on to the next stage of their plan.
The Shikkotsu Forest... even though it was nearly destroyed.
It is still filled with endless Natural Energy.
This place... is the best location for Natural Energy to gather.
"He... wants to cultivate 'Sage Mode' here?!"
The Slug Sage was shocked.
Amakawa Akito is already this powerful.
If one were to master the Sage Mode of the Shikkotsu Forest, wouldn't that mean... ascending to the Six Paths with a mortal body?!
In fact.
The Slug Immortal is overthinking it.
The Akito always pursued "the significance of popularization".
Just like Dark Chakra, everyone can use it.
However, even Tsunade couldn't master the "Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode".
This kind of power will eventually become a burden.
Just like how the First Shinobi World War broke out immediately after Hashirama Senju died.
Tsunade and Sakura moved themselves from Konoha to Shikkotsu Forest.
The Amegakure Alliance, however, was able to immediately create a second BOSS.
That's the difference between the two.
The theory of bloodline is powerful, but also fragile.
Once the source is lost, the platform built on the theory of bloodline can easily fall apart.
This can also be seen from the perspective of Kumogakure). During the Third Shinobi World War, with the death of the Third Raikage, Kumogakure retreated directly to its village.
Therefore, the traditional theory of bloodline does not possess the characteristic of rapidly producing highly skilled individuals.
The Akito would naturally not repeat the same mistakes, using some nonsense about rarity and uniqueness as a guideline for future development.
At this moment, the gathering of so much Natural Energy is actually intended to threaten the Slug Immortal.
The vast, boundless Natural Energy surged wildly towards the space between Akito's hands.
Soon, a giant sphere of Natural Energy, several meters in diameter, appeared above Akito's head.
Then it continued to expand.
5 meters...10 meters...20 meters...
As the diameter of the light sphere increases.
Even the Slug Sage himself was astonished.
"Stop! Stop!"
Because she knew it very well.
What would happen if such a massive amount of Natural Energy were to explode?
"What's wrong?"
The Akito raised his right hand and asked calmly.
Not enough, not enough!!
Until all Natural Energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was temporarily drained.
The thing that the Akito had finally taken shape.
It has a diameter of over 100 meters.
Once it explodes, the destructive power will be immeasurable.
It would probably blow up everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
This move was known to the Akito as the "Spirit Bomb"!
This kind of "single" Natural Energy, in terms of destructive power per unit area, is certainly no match for the Truth-Seeking Orb.
It is also incomparable to the other true powers possessed by a Six Paths level expert.
However.
Its advantage is that it is large enough and has a wide enough reach!
It can't kill Six Paths level expert.
It's more than enough to deal with the Slug Sage.
Once the arrow is fired, the Akito believe that the Slug Immortal will vanish from the face of the earth in an instant.
At least most of their forms will be annihilated.
So... how many years would it take for the Slug Sage to grow back to its current size, starting from a tiny slug?
"What exactly do you want to do?!" The slug fairy was getting anxious.
"It's nothing."
The Akito stared intently at the Slug Immortal.
"Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions. I don't trust you, so I need some insurance..."
Akito understood this principle very well.
"Verbal agreements are all bullshit. I know Konoha better than anyone. As the saying goes, 'One is influenced by one's company,' and you, being in cahoots with Konoha, are bound to be similarly wicked. So..."
Slug Sage, you don't want to turn back into a little slug, do you?
Under the Akito's strong demands.
The slug fairy had no choice but to gather around its main body; at least, she said, it gathered most of its body there.
"Very good..."
The Akito nodded slightly.
With a burst of gelatinous movement.
The "Chimera Technique" quickly enveloped the entire sphere of light.
Next...
"Open your mouth."
The Akito gave the order.
As the Slug Sage opened its mouth wide, Akito shoved the Spirit Bomb directly into it.
Snap!
With a forceful push from the Akito.
The slug sage swallowed the entire sphere of light.
The next moment.
The Akito manipulated Natural Energy to perform techniques.
"Chimera Technique!!"
With the aid of such immense Natural Energy, the slug sage's entire body could be transformed in an instant.
Slug Sage! I'm going to turn you into my Dark Summoning!
456. The real Madara Uchiha
Mount Myōboku...
"Naruto, you seem uneasy..." The Great Toad Sage's wise expression suggested he knew everything.
"Um."
Naruto nodded.
"However, I am the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. My father, the perverted sage, Nagato, Itachi... everyone... believes in me. I cannot run away."
The image of the Akito figure flashed through his mind.
"To defeat the emperor, I need the power of the Nine-Tails. I need to find the octopus and train to become the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Yes, Naruto, go ahead without worry." Sage Fukasaku nodded, indicating that the Toad of Mount Myōboku would take good care of things here.
As for Orochihime...
