The Great Toad Sage trembled all over. He never expected that this man, who Jiraiya's brother and seemed so refined and easy-going, would actually be a war maniac!
Once that thing is released, even the three great sages will be annihilated, and the Ninja World will be shattered! At that time, even if the Heavenly Dao wins, the Ninja World will collapse, the Three Great Sage Regions will collapse, and the world's will will collapse, all because of the Heavenly Dao.
When the endless Karmic Sin accumulates, even if the Heavenly Dao survives, it will probably be driven to the brink of collapse every day. Being burdened by Karmic Sin is no small matter!
Orochimaru put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then chuckled, "Please keep this a secret, Great Toad Sage. This matter is far too wicked; it can only be used as a last resort. And please, don't let the Lord Hokage know!"
The Great Toad Sage stared intently at the scroll in Orochimaru's hand, a deep sense of apprehension in his eyes.
His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "How many more like these do you have?"
Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He blinked, then without hesitation tossed the two hundred scrolls onto the ground like trash. The scrolls clinked together, making a crisp sound, as if mocking the Great Toad Sage's astonishment.
"That's all for now," Orochimaru said calmly. "However, I'm continuing my research." His tone revealed a sense of confidence and pride, as if he was very satisfied with his research results.
The Great Toad Sage's face turned pale, and he felt a wave of dizziness. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn, this guy is terrifying!"
Although Orochimaru's strength was only at the Kage Level, far inferior to the Three Sages, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Otsutsuki, the things he created possessed the power to destroy the world!
The Great Toad Sage swallowed hard, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "This... this thing, it's best not to use it casually!"
His gaze never left the pile of scrolls scattered on the ground, his heart filled with fear and unease.
Orochimaru nodded, indicating that he understood the Great Toad Sage's concerns. He reassured him, "Don't worry, this is just a last resort. I won't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary."
Jiraiya, was completely baffled. He couldn't understand what the Great Toad Sage and Orochimaru were talking about.
However, judging from the Great Toad Sage's words and shocked expression, Orochimaru had clearly created something extremely powerful. Jiraiya wondered to himself, "Just what has this guy come up with?"
Outside the palace
Uchiha Kō stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his figure appearing exceptionally tall in the sunlight.
The Chixiao Sword danced gracefully in the air, soaring and tumbling like a dragon, each swing unleashing a sharp sword aura that dazzled and captivated onlookers.
Not far away, Otsutsuki Dō was leisurely humming a tune, driving away the wandering souls.
His steps were light, as if he didn't care about the battle at all.
However, just as he was some distance away from Uchiha Kō, he suddenly stopped as if he had seen something incredible.
He rubbed his eyes hard, muttering in disbelief, "Holy crap? Who's that person standing outside the hall? How come their aura is so dense it's practically dripping water! How did they do that?"
Otsutsuki Dō was filled with shock and curiosity; he couldn't comprehend what he was seeing.
It's important to understand that while luck is an ethereal and intangible thing, it is a very real phenomenon, and it is extremely difficult to obtain and accumulate.
Most people are already quite fortunate to have even a little bit of luck, but this person's luck is so strong.
At this moment, the Otsutsuki Dō had long forgotten about the Battle of Mount Myoboku.
He rushed forward impatiently, reaching the bottom of the steps in front of Uchiha Kō, and asked with a sincere expression, "You, how did you acquire such a strong aura of luck? Can you tell me?!"
Uchiha Kō glanced at him and laughed, "My methods, I don't tell dogs."
"A dog? What do you mean? You're calling me a dog?" Otsutsuki Dō's eyes widened, disbelief shining through his Rinnegan, before he pointed at himself.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Yes, aren't you the dog of the Heavenly Dao?" Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Dō froze, then his eyes darkened, he took a few steps back, and waved his right hand.
A group of Toad spirits from Mount Myoboku appeared, like puppets on strings. Then Otsutsuki Dō spirit form, grabbed a Toad and said, "I do not agree with your statement. The truth of this world is that the strong prey on the weak."
"I am merely temporarily relying on the Heavenly Dao for cultivation; I am not a dog." He could disregard the words of Fukasaku, Jiraiya, and Shima, but he would still remember the words of such a person of great fortune.
Because no one would have so much good fortune bestowed upon them for no reason! This person must have extraordinary abilities, and Otsutsuki Dō holds the strongest in high esteem.
Uchiha Kō nodded upon hearing this. "You're right, the strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest, that is indeed the law of the world."
"But what does this have to do with you being the dog of the Heavenly Dao? Or do you think your current strength is comparable to the Heavenly Dao?" Uchiha Kō stomped hard on the cripple's good leg.
Otsutsuki Dō gritted his teeth. Damn it! This person in front of him is indeed despicable. Endure, endure it. He must first obtain the method of acquiring fortune from him! Only in this way can he break away from the Heavenly Dao and establish his own sect.
"Your Excellency, if you don't want these souls to suffer, hand over the method of acquiring fortune to me, and at the same time transfer all the fortune within you! I promise you, I will let them go." As he spoke, his spirit-like hand slowly tightened, and the dazed soul immediately regained its clarity.
It howled in agony, not understanding why it had to suffer such torment after being dead for so long.
Uchiha Kō watched all this indifferently. "Oh, whatever." Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Dō froze, muttering, "Didn't you come for Mount Myoboku? What, what about these spirits? You're not going to take care of them?"
Uchiha Kō looked at Otsutsuki Dō, "Have you gone mad following the Heavenly Dao?" His gaze towards Otsutsuki Dō showed no fear, but rather mockery.
"I'm standing up for Mount Myoboku, but they're already dead and their life force is gone. I have to think about the living, right?" Uchiha Kō said calmly.
Otsutsuki Dō silent, then with a flick of his wrist, the Toad's soul dissipated. He looked at Uchiha Kō with a complex expression. Shouldn't someone with such profound fortune have the world's well-being on their mind?
Why does moral blackmail fail to work when it comes to Uchiha Kō?
He didn't know that Uchiha Kō had no bottom line or morals, so moral blackmail was useless.
Moreover, Uchiha Kō is a calculating person. These Toad from Mount Myoboku were already dead, and now their spirits are bound and summoned out. It wasn't their doing, yet they expect him to exchange all his luck for them? Don't even think about it!
Do you really think I Uchiha Kō, am a charitable organization?
Otsutsuki Dō gritted his teeth, then struck out with a palm, scattering the spirits, before looking coldly at Uchiha Kō.
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! If you can't reason with me, I'll also share some martial arts skills!" With that, Otsutsuki Dō stretched out his hands.
Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow. This guy's a Daoist! Interesting!
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Come here!" He used a skill that combined the One Yang Finger Lion's Roar Technique!
Otsutsuki Dō knew that someone with such good fortune was immune to both Ninjutsu and Senjutsu, so Taijutsu was the only option.
Now, he has put aside all thoughts of destroying the lineage of Mount Myoboku and exterminating the Toad of Mount Myoboku. What matters most is obtaining the fortune of Uchiha Kō and the method to acquire that fortune in the future.
Thinking that he might become the second Heavenly Dao in the future, Otsutsuki Dō could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart and threw a straight punch at Uchiha Kō's chest.
Uchiha Kō clicked his tongue, thinking this guy was going to be something powerful and give him a big one, but instead he just pooped a huge pile!
Uchiha Kō didn't even open the Eight Inner Gates; he simply dodged to the side and sent Otsutsuki Dō flying with an uppercut.
Otsutsuki Dō's pupils contracted. So strong! Damn it! Could it be that the Ōtsutsuki Clan's physique alone isn't enough to defeat him?
The Otsutsuki Dō had fought against fellow clansmen who were not much different from him, and he was very familiar with their Isshiki. Moreover, the Otsutsuki Dō's greatest strength lay in his control over spirits, but all of this was useless against those with high luck.
That's why we're in this awkward situation today, but none of this has anything to do with Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō straddled him, punching him in the left cheek, then the right, simply using the Human Path to enhance the power of his physical body as he beat up the Otsutsuki Dō.
Otsutsuki Dō felt a sharp pain in his face! Just as he was about to strangle Uchiha Kō sneered, stood up, spun 720 degrees in mid-air, and stomped on him...
Um, not suitable for children.
Otsutsuki Dō's pupils widened, and a mournful howl rang out. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Uchiha Kō, I'll kill you!"
He unleashed his full power, disregarding the potential backlash from his destiny, and summoned all the souls he had collected over the years.
There were Nine-Headed Hydra, three-headed wolves, and giants with only one eye, densely packed together.
"Attack him! Tear him to pieces!" He was furious, like a raging tiger.
Upon hearing Otsutsuki Dō's roar and the manipulation of Chakra, they charged towards Uchiha Kō together.
Uchiha Kō frowned. With the Red Firmament in hand, he spotted their weakness and charged out!
