Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands vs. the Strongest Enemy!

Inside Fang Yu's "Screening Room," apart from the Main God Fang Yu, all the other Fang Yu stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Yu's perspective.

The opponent on the other side was Jigen, who single-handedly defeated the Sasuke and Naruto Duo during the Boruto era!

This guy Complete Body Susanoo and a fully-formed Nine-Tails. In terms of destructive power alone, he can be ranked among the top three of the people Fang Yu has fought!

As for how to rank Superman, Bai Mei, Jigen, that's a matter of opinion.

A fierce wind howled, causing the surrounding trees to sway violently. Uchiha Yu's Natural Energy surged and churned like a boiling tsunami.

His eyes flashed with an orange-red light, a sign that Sage Mode was fully activated!

At this moment, Uchiha Yu had only one thought in his mind: to break a hole in the extremely dangerous Jigen in front of him!

So what if the Health Bar is revealed? They'll kill you without hesitation!

He suddenly spread his hands out, and at the same time let out a roar that resounded through the sky, "Sage Art: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill!"

In an instant, the heavens and earth seemed to be shaken by a mysterious and powerful force. A majestic and enormous Guanyin of Guanyin slowly emerged from behind Uchiha Yu. This Guanyin Kannon Statue was a thousand meters tall, radiating a holy and majestic Golden Light. Its compassionate face also revealed a chilling and murderous aura!

The Kannon Statue's thousand arms swung simultaneously, each arm thick and powerful, with the palms at the tips of the arms shimmering with golden light, as dazzling as the sun. These arms, with overwhelming force, attacked Jigen swiftly, and wherever they passed, the air was violently compressed, emitting a shrill "whooshing" sound!

However, Jigen remained unusually calm in the face of such a terrifying attack.

He simply stood there quietly, slowly raised his hand, and with a gentle wave, a mysterious and powerful force surged forth.

Before him, space seemed to be distorted at will by an invisible hand, and a pitch-black hole quietly appeared.

This black hole is incredibly deep, seemingly connected to the endless void, and exudes a chilling, devouring power. The surrounding light is mercilessly sucked into it and disappears without a trace.

Just as the giant hand of the Kannon Statue was about to strike, Jigen flashed and instantly disappeared into the pitch-black hole!

Uchiha Yu's Sage Art: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill missed its target instantly, his arm slamming heavily into the ground, causing a violent earthquake.

The earth trembled violently, and huge cracks spread in all directions.

The surrounding trees were uprooted, the boulders were shattered, and dust filled the sky, making the entire battlefield look like the end of the world.

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Kisame, who were standing not far away, were stunned.

Jiraiya's eyes widened, filled with disbelief!

The sheer size of Uchiha Yu's Sage Art: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill Technique was enough to shock him.

Kisame was equally shocked and speechless; his usually ferocious face was now filled with astonishment.

"Konoha actually has such a powerful expert!"

Even the usually calm and composed Itachi Uchiha showed a rare look of surprise on his face. His eyes widened slightly as he stared intently at the battlefield, a complex light flashing in them.

It's only been a year since the Massacre Night. That night, Itachi was chasing after Uchiha Yu with Susanoo. But now, it's hard to say Susanoo can withstand many hits.

Itachi learned from Sasori, Kakuzu, and Pain that Uchiha Yu was making rapid progress.

But he never expected its growth rate to be so astonishing! It had far exceeded his expectations!

Itachi's current mood can be described as having swallowed a fly; he only has two things on his mind.

One is Sasuke.

One is Konoha.

Sasuke is now under the care of Uchiha Yu.

Konoha was also under the protection of Uchiha Yu.

Itachi's double agent role completely backfired, hindering Konoha's peace efforts.

Uchiha Yu maintained the faint Golden Light emanating from the Guanyin Phantom, his eyes blazing as he scanned his surroundings, not missing a single movement.

The battlefield was deathly silent, with only the ravaged land and swirling dust telling the story of the terrifying attack that had just taken place.

Time ticked by, and about five minutes passed. Uchiha Yu could clearly feel the Natural Energy of Sage Mode within his body rapidly flowing away, like fine sand in an hourglass, and was about to reach its limit.

His breathing gradually became heavy, and his eyes, which had been shining with an orange-red light, gradually dimmed.

As the last trace of Natural Energy dissipated, the Sage Mode quietly canceled. The patterns and aura on his body that represented Sage Mode receded like the tide, and he returned to normal.

Just then, the pitch-black hole reappeared without warning.

Inside the black hole, Jigen clasped his hands together and slowly stepped out.

His movements were elegant and composed, as if he were not the one who had just dodged the terrifying attack, but a bystander who had nothing to do with him.

After Jigen stood still, he bowed slightly to Uchiha Yu, a faint smile on his face that revealed an arrogance and conceit that was utterly repulsive.

"Benefactor, such a fierce aura." Jigen spoke, his voice deep yet clear, carrying far across the desolate battlefield. "However, you have chosen the wrong target."

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Uchiha Yu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Don't get too cocky. Every level and boss is designed to be defeated." Uchiha Yu's eyes regained their fighting spirit. "You're hiding, which means you're afraid! As long as you're afraid, then I have a chance to kill you!"

Jigen didn't understand what Uchiha Yu was talking about, but he also grasped a bit of the philosophy. He put his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, "This humble monk has learned a lot!"

As he spoke, a strange black light suddenly emanated from his body!

Immediately afterwards, the light gradually condensed into fine, black vertical marks that covered the entire body!

Jigen roared to the sky, his voice shaking the surrounding area. "Wedge: State One!" Before he finished speaking, his figure instantly transformed into a blur, hurtling towards Uchiha Yu with an almost Teleportation speed!

Even Itachi Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, could only catch a blurry glimpse of it, almost unable to lock onto it.

In the blink of an eye, Jigen had already reached Uchiha Yu. His right fist, carrying surging power and accompanied by a whistling wind, was aimed straight at Uchiha Yu's forehead!

If this punch lands, it would be enough to instantly smash Uchiha Yu's head!

However, Uchiha Yu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his body twisted inexplicably in mid-air. His arms, which were originally used for defense, suddenly shot out, and his right fist was clenched tightly as he fiercely met Jigen's attack head-on!

"Boom!" A deafening explosion erupted across the battlefield, as if a bomb had been detonated! A powerful shockwave emanated from the two figures, spreading wildly outwards and whipping up dust from the ground, creating a massive dust cloud in its wake!

Uchiha Yu and Jigen were each sent flying dozens of meters backward by the enormous impact.

This time, it was Jigen's turn to be shocked!

He stared intently at Uchiha Yu, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After being controlled by the will of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, he went through countless battles but never encountered an opponent who could face him head-on with a single punch in this state.

What shocked him even more was that Uchiha Yu actually kept up with his terrifying speed after he activated Karma: Phase 1!

"Interesting, very interesting!" Jigen's lips slowly curled up, revealing an excited smile, a smile full of longing for the strong and fervor for battle.

Uchiha Yu was breathing heavily, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Although that punch seemed evenly matched, he knew he was far inferior in strength.

The Eight Gates Formation, the Ghoul Cursed Seal, Armament Haki, and the Gene Lock, combined with the assistance of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, were what enabled him to unleash such a punch.

It's clear that Jigen's strength far surpasses that of Beyond Kage, which explains why Naruto had to sacrifice Nine-Tails and activate Baryon Mode to inflict effective damage on Jigen.

However, there was no fear or retreat in Uchiha Yu's eyes; instead, his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit!

With his Gene Lock, he'd even drag down a god and have to fight him!

"Come on, Jigen! Today, it's either you or me!" Uchiha Yu roared, his chakra surging wildly once more!

At the same time, he opened the Chat Group: "So what if I'm at the Six Paths level! I'm practically True Sight Jigen. Even if Laozi deals 100 million damage, it'll still kill me four times!"

After giving his instructions, Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth, his whole body radiating red lightning-like Conqueror's Haki. He gritted his teeth again and used his chakra to forcefully open the Gate of Limit, which had never been opened before in the Eight Gates Formation!

"Gate of Limit! Open it!"

Jigen watched as Uchiha Yu's aura continued to rise, but he had no intention of sneaking up on him. Instead, he stood there watching Uchiha Yu's performance with amusement, silently waiting for his opponent to reach his strongest state.

"At last."

"I'd like to try this."

Uchiha Yu felt the chakra about to explode within him, and his hands flew into hand Hand Seal! The chakra gathered wildly in an almost violent manner! The earth began to tremble violently, as if it could not withstand the pressure of this immense power! Thick wooden pillars burst forth from the ground, these pillars carrying an unstoppable momentum, breaking through layers of soil, and growing wildly towards the Sky Manipulation!

In the blink of an eye, these wooden pillars intertwined and entangled, gradually forming an enormous wooden platform!

On this platform, a majestic Senju -armed Buddha Statue slowly emerges! The Buddha Statue statue is made entirely of solid wood, yet it exudes a sacred radiance that transcends matter. Its body is enormous, reaching to the sky and standing tall, with its head almost hidden in the clouds. Its massive body seems to be able to support the entire world!

The Buddha Statue has a thousand arms that stretch out in all directions. Each arm is thick and powerful, with muscle lines resembling winding mountain ranges. The palms at the front of the arms are incredibly broad, each capable of easily grasping a small mountain!

Jigen, who had been looking at Uchiha Yu with amusement, now stared wide-eyed, his shock evident on his face!

He stared intently at the gradually taking shape Senju Buddha Statue, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Throughout his long life, he had witnessed countless powerful Ninjutsu and forces, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a magnificent and powerful technique!

Not far away, Jiraiya, Kisame, and Itachi Uchiha were already speechless with astonishment at the sight before them!

Everyone held their breath at this moment, waiting for the final result of this ultimate showdown.

A black horn sprouted from Jigen's head, instantly activating the Stage Two. He roared as he withstood the storm-like palm strike, "I acknowledge you as the strongest!"

Uchiha Yu's voice carried a hint of Buddhist wisdom; it wasn't loud, but it resounded throughout the entire arena. "Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!!"

boom--

!!

The blinding light caused the spectators to involuntarily close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, everyone was so shocked by what they saw not far away that their heads went blank!

Uchiha Yu was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse!

Blood was flowing from all seven orifices of his body, and the crimson liquid slid down his cheeks, the corners of his mouth, and his ears, pooling on the ground into a shocking pool of blood.

The skin on his body lost its original toughness, as if it had been baked in a high-temperature furnace. Like a melting candle, it dripped to the ground in pieces and strips, revealing the bloody and mangled muscle tissue underneath. The scene was extremely gruesome!

There wasn't a single undamaged spot on his body; it was covered in lacerations and burn marks. The once mysterious and sturdy Earth Grudge Fear Mask on his shoulder was now broken in two pieces, the broken mask hanging on his shoulder, making him look even more disheveled!

Behind him, the once majestic and world-destroying Senju Buddha Statue has lost its former glory. The towering and imposing Buddha Statue has shrunk dramatically to only about ten meters tall, as if its power has been drained, and it has become dim and lackluster!

Forcing the use of an unfamiliar ultimate move and being countered by the enemy's technique— Uchiha Yu has really messed up this time!

Jigen stood quietly opposite, watching Uchiha Yu's miserable state. His expression gradually returned to its initial indifference. Everything before him was within his expectations.

He tilted his head slightly, parted his lips, and slowly murmured the name of his technique.

"His Sukuna Hikona!"

"Cough!"

Uchiha Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, a broken tooth popping out, and looked at Jigen with all his might, saying, "I underestimated you."

Jigen his hands together. "No, child, it's not that you underestimated me, it's that you lack understanding. You only see the history of ninjas over the past hundred years, while I am well. Die in peace. All of this is Karma."

"I, because, you, horse, finished, one."

The moment Jigen raised his hand, a giant Rasengan slammed down on his head!

Then Jigen called out again, "His Sukuna Hikona!"

Jiraiya's Senjutsu: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan instantly transformed into a small chakra sphere, smaller than even the first Rasengan Konohamaru used!

"Little Jiraiya!" Sage Fukasaku shouted, and then he and Sage Shima began to Toad Song together!

A blood-red glint flashed in Jigen's eyes as he raised his hand to blast Jiraiya!

However, in the end, it also resulted in nothing being hit.

Jigen looked around and shook his head slightly. "The Flying Thunder God's ability is still too troublesome. Let's deal with the Tailed Beast first."

Jiraiya's view suddenly changed, and when he looked around, he and Uzuki Yugao had returned to Tsunade's side!

Seeing Uchiha Yu lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Jiraiya was momentarily dazed, and Tsunade's voice immediately boomed. "What happened!?"

Jiraiya clenched his fists. "Save them first!"
