Demonic Statue of the Outer Path [Protagonist Renamed]

Ninjas are called ninjas precisely because of ninjutsu.

People in this era do not place much importance on taijutsu, and Otsutsuki Hagoromo is naturally no exception. Perhaps it had some utility in the early days of ninjutsu, but once one reaches the level of an elite jonin, no one practices it at all.

After all, the Eight Inner Gates do not exist in this era, and ninjutsu has yet to spread across the entire world.

"Well then, goodbye! Brother Hagoromo!"

Having obtained the Ten-Tails' chakra, Otsutsuki Yuhao was impatient to return and study it.

But just after Otsutsuki Yuhao departed, a black-and-white figure emerged from behind a rock.

"The Ten-Tails has been split into nine; the hope for Mother's resurrection grows ever slimmer. Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Hamura, and Otsutsuki Yuhao—you three unfilial sons, one day I will make you suffer the same seal as Mother."

Black Zetsu thought, his eyes filled with malice.

"It seems the children of Asura and Indra have already been born. Hehe, I may not be able to handle you three, but I believe they will have their own ideas for the Ninja World!"

Black Zetsu thought with a sinister grin.

Otsutsuki Yuhao sat cross-legged on a rock, muttering to himself: "Ordinary chakra is formed by the balanced fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy within the body. In this way, a ninja can consume a certain amount of chakra to unleash ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu."

"Sage chakra, or the power of a sage, is the power created by drawing the natural energy of the world—the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—into the body and balancing it with one's own physical and spiritual energy. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu performed using this power is known as senjutsu."

"The question is, chakra itself is a secondary energy emitted by the God Tree as it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it easier for the human body to assimilate. This is why senjutsu can inflict damage on a Ten-Tails jinchuriki or those at the Six Paths Realm, while ordinary chakra is ineffective against them. However, senjutsu is far more difficult to cultivate than ninjutsu."

"Yet, in my previous life, I never heard of anyone turning into a frog or a stone statue after failing to absorb spiritual energy. Could it be because of the nature of chakra?"

"When natural energy and one's own chakra are balanced at a one-to-one ratio, the body possesses sage chakra. But if there is too much of this sage chakra, one will undergo frog-like or stone-like transformation at Mount Myoboku, or snake-like transformation at Ryuchi Cave. As for why the petrification occurs, it is likely due to the specific cultivation methods; Mount Myoboku turns practitioners into frogs, while Ryuchi Cave turns them into snakes."

"My Golden Core Path will not suffer such a fate. My Golden Core has gathered a vast amount of natural energy, and the markings that appear on my face are merely because the senjutsu I practice is different from that of the three great sacred sites."

"Unlike others who manifest facial markings upon entering Sage Mode—which signifies success—my path is different. In Sage Mode, one's strength and speed increase several-fold; a Sage Mode Naruto could easily toss around the massive summoning creatures of Pain and the Nine-Tails. The power of a sage greatly enhances the three systems of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. One could say that spiritual energy elevates the limits of human strength."

"Furthermore, unlike ninjutsu chakra, the more sage chakra one uses, the more energized the user becomes; it is truly like cultivating immortality. Conversely, the more ninjutsu chakra one uses, the more exhausted one becomes, as if it consumes the body's spiritual and vital energy."

Thinking this, Otsutsuki Yuhao stood up and looked toward the direction of the three great sacred sites.

"In a world without chakra, senjutsu should be the true power of this world! It is just that there are not many who can truly master it. But it is certainly countless times more than the number of ninjas who achieve Sage Mode in later generations."

Otsutsuki Yuhao thought to himself.

Having traveled the Ninja World for over twenty years, Otsutsuki Yuhao had visited many places and discovered numerous secrets of senjutsu, all of which were completely different from those of the three great sacred sites. The only drawback was that these secrets were flawed and incomplete. It was through these fragments that Otsutsuki Yuhao eventually perfected his Golden Core Path and created his own unique senjutsu technique.

Otsutsuki Yuhao

Level: Six Paths Third Tier [White Golden Core Realm]

Six Paths Ninjutsu: Twelve times Super Kage power

Senjutsu: Ten times Super Kage power

Base Physical Strength: Four times Super Kage power [Twelve times Super Kage power with the Fifth Gate opened]

Chakra Reserves: 1300 units [One unit is equivalent to one Hatake Kakashi]

Kage-level chakra ranges from 3 to 10 units.

If we use Madara's ability to single-handedly defeat the Five Kage as a unit of measurement, then Super Kage-level chakra is equivalent to the Five Kage combined.

Super Kage-level chakra ranges from 50 to 250 units, while ordinary Six Paths-level is 500 units.

Kekkei Mora: Tenseigan, Rinne Sharingan.

Dojutsu: Heavenly Mechanism Technique, Time Reversal, Flying Thunder Might, King Realm Fist, Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei, Shoten no Jutsu, Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Kinrin Tensei Baku...

Ninjutsu: Mastery of all Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Yin, and Yang releases, Shinra Tensei, Chibaku Tensei, Flying Thunder God Technique, King Realm Fist...

Twelve units of Super Kage power in Ninjutsu, ten in Senjutsu, and ten in Taijutsu.

Adding these together equals thirty-two units of Super Kage power, but this does not mean Otsutsuki Yuhao's strength surpasses Naruto in Baryon Mode.

It merely indicates that Otsutsuki Yuhao possesses this amount of energy.

If one were to calculate it this way, the Nine-Tails' chakra would exceed that of the Six Paths level, to say nothing of the Ten-Tails, which is estimated to be over five times that of the Nine-Tails.

Yet, any random Kage-level ninja could put up a fight against the Nine-Tails.

Senju Hashirama's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands could even crush the Nine-Tails with a single hand.

Over ten years, Otsutsuki Yuhao's combat power has increased by approximately fifty percent; if his combat power ten years ago was ten thousand points, it is now fifteen thousand.

[Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]

Otsutsuki Yuhao spoke indifferently, the complex pattern within the white pupil of his right-eye Six-Tomoe Rinnegan slowly rotating!

"BOOM!!"

A massive portal suddenly appeared on the ground.

The entire earth shook violently as if hit by an earthquake, and the shockwaves alone blew away the surrounding trees!

"ROAR!"

A terrifying, gargantuan monster slowly crawled out from the portal, its hands braced against the earth it had cracked under its weight.

It had the appearance of a giant humanoid with nine Rinnegan eyes on its body, skin the color of withered wood, and ten pillar-like protrusions on its back.

Even with only its upper body exposed, it stood a hundred meters tall, and the pressure radiating from it far exceeded the Kage level, a terrifying sense of oppression sweeping across the surroundings!

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had only just crawled out halfway.

[Flying Thunder Might]

The Six-Tomoe Rinnegan in Otsutsuki Yuhao's right eye flared once more.

A spiral-shaped space absorbed one-tenth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's body.

Before the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could even let out a scream, it had already been sent back by Otsutsuki Yuhao.

[Renaming to Yuhao. Since so many readers complained about the name Otsutsuki Tatsuten, I will change it to Otsutsuki Yuhao.

It fits perfectly to have the three brothers: Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Hamura, and Yuhao.]
