Obtaining the Sage Body and Sage Eye, Ato's Second Transformation!

Konoha, Valley of the End.

Under twenty-eight times gravity, Ato raised his right hand and instantly fired a massive golden Energy Blast.

Watching the golden Energy Blast fly in a straight line, Ato swung his right hand, and the blast instantly traced an arc before turning directly back toward him.

"Here it comes!"

Watching the Energy Blast rush toward him, Ato's expression turned exceptionally grave. This was his full-force attack at 1,200 battle power.

Looking at the Energy Blast, which stood a full three meters tall, Ato lowered his center of gravity, his feet rooting themselves firmly into the ground.

At the same time, he spread his hands, his muscles taut, and instantly caught the massive Energy Blast between both palms.

Hiss!

The Energy Blast, powerful enough to destroy the Ninja World, was forcibly blocked by Ato's body.

He bent his arms and exerted force, pouring all the strength in his body into his hands.

Like compressing a balloon.

Under Ato's immense strength, the massive Energy Blast began shrinking toward its center.

Ato gritted his teeth, his muscles tense, and exerted every ounce of strength he had. The Energy Blast in his hands rapidly shrank.

Then, the Energy Blast vanished between Ato's hands.

"Whew, whew, whew..."

Ato panted heavily. Blocking an attack with 1,200 battle power head-on had left him exhausted.

However, Ato's training was not over yet.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Energy Blasts came hurtling at Ato wildly from every direction.

Faced with the sudden attack, Ato bent his arms and hunched over, thrusting both palms forward as countless Energy Blasts instantly flew out.

Boom, boom, boom.

The Energy Blasts Ato fired collided with the incoming blasts, producing a dense barrage of explosions.

Wave after wave of energy shockwaves instantly pressed a huge crater into the water beneath Ato's feet, while the waterfall at the center of the Valley of the End was cut off entirely.

After dealing with the Energy Blasts, Ato closed his eyes.

In his mind, humanoid energy sources of varying sizes instantly appeared.

Those energy sources rapidly drew closer, then transformed into Ato's Shadow Clones.

"Found them." Ato abruptly opened his eyes.

Then he raised his right hand and instantly blasted an Energy Wave into the sky.

After reaching high altitude, the Energy Wave split into dozens of streams and fell in different directions.

Boom, boom, boom.

A series of dense explosions rang out.

The Ato Shadow Clones hidden throughout the Valley of the End were directly blown apart by the Energy Blasts.

"The Uzumaki Clan's Mind's Eye of the Kagura really is useful!"

After doing all that, a smile appeared on Ato's face.

What he had just been practicing was the Uzumaki Clan's secret sensory jutsu, the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

The Mind's Eye of the Kagura was a special spiritual power formed from the combination of mental energy and chakra—the Mind's Eye.

Its coverage depended entirely on the amount of chakra one possessed.

The more chakra one had, the wider its coverage.

Within the range covered by the Mind's Eye, everything would enter Ato's mind like a holographic real-world map.

And aside from training a sensory jutsu like the Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

Ato was also practicing the technique of concealing his battle power.

After this period of training, Ato could already suppress his battle power to below 100.

"The Shadow Clone sent out to find Madara Uchiha has returned? Looks like this training will have to stop for now."

Ato wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then, with a thought, his entire body instantly vanished from the Valley of the End and appeared in his laboratory.

The moment he appeared in the laboratory.

Ato saw the gigantic, grotesque Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

He could sense the enormous vitality contained within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

According to the Ninja World's understanding, this was the purest Yang Force.

As for Yin Force, it was Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, sealed within the moon!

Ato merely glanced at it before no longer paying attention.

Then he walked over to a large Life Cell Fusion Device.

In front of the Life Cell Fusion Device, a Research Shadow Clone dressed in a white lab coat was continuously tapping at a holographic control panel with both hands.

"I'm telling you, original body, when is Android 18 coming back? This work was supposed to be hers." Upon seeing Ato, the Research Shadow Clone could not help complaining.

"Android 18 is at Orochimaru's base, recording the data from Orochimaru's various biological experiments. She'll need a few more hours before she returns."

Ato replied casually, then stepped directly into the fusion device.

"Begin. Fuse Hashirama Cells and Madara Cells into me."

Ato gave the Research Shadow Clone the command.

The Research Shadow Clone nodded, then began tapping away again.

"Hashirama Cells will now be injected."

The Research Shadow Clone activated the Life Cell Fusion Device.

A flash of intense light passed.

Ato's body had successfully fused perfectly with the Hashirama Cells.

He could feel a vast life force continuously surging from every cell in his body.

"Continue!"

The next second, Madara Uchiha's cells also fused perfectly with Ato.

Boom!

Ato's originally black eyes instantly transformed into scarlet Sharingan.

Within the Sharingan, three tomoe connected with one another, and the original tomoe became three circles.

This was Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!

After the fusion was complete, Ato willed it, and he once again appeared in the Valley of the End.

Standing on the water, Ato looked at his current appearance.

The Sharingan truly deserved to be called the Ninja World's strongest cheat.

Its stylish appearance alone left Ato immensely satisfied.

Not to mention that the Sharingan Ato had fused was an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!

Ato's looks had become even more striking and cool.

If looks had a battle power rating, his current looks would be enough to break one hundred million!

"So this is the Ninja World's strongest Sage Body and strongest Sage Eye?"

Feeling the newly born power within his body, Ato was rather excited.

Although Ato's battle power was still 1,200 after fusing Hashirama Cells and Madara Cells.

He could sense the third power hidden behind the cells he had fused.

"First, the Sage Body!"

Ato clapped his hands together, releasing the Sage Body's third power: Wood Release.

Rumble!

The entire Valley of the End rumbled and shook.

Beneath the water, countless trees and roots began shaking wildly, like earth dragons turning over.

Then, those trees burst from the ground and grew at incredible speed.

The entirety of Konoha began shaking violently as well.

A True Several Thousand Hands over a thousand meters tall descended upon the valley.

Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Veritable 1000-Armed Kan'on!

The original True Several Thousand Hands required senjutsu chakra to be unleashed.

But Ato's Saiyan physique was simply too overpowered.

With chakra far more immense than even Hashirama Senju's, Ato effortlessly unleashed Hashirama Senju's Sage Art: Wood Release.

Standing atop the thousand-meter-tall True Several Thousand Hands, Ato crossed his arms over his chest and looked down upon tiny Konoha below.

Unlike Hashirama Senju's Buddha-shaped True Several Thousand Hands.

Ato had molded the True Several Thousand Hands into an enlarged version of a Saiyan body!

Spiky black hair.

Facial features resembling an adult Son Goku.

A lifelike tail behind it.

Combined with the thousands of arms of the True Several Thousand Hands.

It looked majestic and incomparably cool.

The colossal True Several Thousand Hands stood above the Valley of the End. Its thousand-meter-tall body made the original valley look exceptionally tiny.

Then, thousands of massive Energy Blasts instantly condensed atop the thousands of arms of the True Several Thousand Hands.

Beep, beep, beep.

Ato lightly tapped his Scouter.

As Energy Blasts filled the thousands of arms of the True Several Thousand Hands.

Ato's battle power began soaring rapidly.

1,200!

1,800!

2,400!

3,000!

Only after reaching 3,000 did the Scouter's reading stop.

One True Several Thousand Hands: Veritable 1000-Armed Kan'on had increased Ato's battle power by a full 1,800.

And that did not even include the Sage Body's terrifying regenerative abilities.

After obtaining Hashirama Senju's Sage Body, every cell in Ato's body contained immense vitality.

His regenerative ability was now terrifying.

As long as he still had chakra in his body, he could continuously heal himself. Even regenerating severed limbs like Piccolo would be incredibly easy.

Although his recovery ability still could not match Earth's Senzu Beans, it was not far off.

"And then..."

"Susanoo!"

Boom!

Ato's eyes erupted with terrifying ocular power.

The power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was unleashed.

A Perfect Susanoo, likewise over a thousand meters tall, instantly enveloped Ato and the True Several Thousand Hands beneath his feet.

"Second Transformation: Armored Susanoo: Susanoo Saiyan Mode!"

Boom!

A terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from Ato's Armored Susanoo Buddha.

The statues of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha in the Valley of the End instantly turned to dust.

Beep, beep, beep.

The reading on the Scouter began jumping once again.

From the previous 3,000, it directly soared to 5,000!

Ato named this mode: Second Transformation: Susanoo Saiyan Mode!

At this stage, Ato could completely unleash the life energy he currently possessed.

Whether in defense or attack, it was the ultimate expression of raw numbers!
