Unlike Naruto's Sage Mode, Asura, although using Naruto's body, displays his former Sage Mode form.
Several Truth-Seeking Orb floated behind him, he wore a flowing Hagoromo, and several Tomoe hung on his chest.
The reason why the white Hagoromo has turned gold is due to the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Asura Ōtsutsuki was the true son of the Sage of Six Paths and the successor of the Ninshu's philosophy.
His Sage Mode is the closest to the power of the Sage of Six Paths.
"Very impressive power. It merges the power of the world with one's own, and can even incorporate parts of the world's laws into the body. Not bad."
Xu Xiao watched Asura complete his transformation without flinching, and even offered his own comment.
He could feel that the Natural Energy, similar to Spiritual Energy energy, flowed into Naruto's body, merging with the Nine-Tails ' Chakra and transforming into a higher level of power.
'No, to be precise, this is the true cultivation of the unity of heaven, earth, and humanity.'
' Chakra originates from the fusion of physical and spiritual power within the human body, while Natural Energy represents the power of heaven and earth.'
The cultivation method in this world involves first extracting the body's potential, condensing it into a power called Chakra, and then using mental power and hand seals to transform natural forces into attacks.
'But in my view, this is entirely a path that pursues only destructive power. The strength gained by squeezing the body and mind is ultimately limited and will also affect lifespan. Only when Natural Energy is incorporated does it transform into a true method of cultivation.'
'Furthermore, it subtly resonates with the world, representing another way of utilizing the world's rules.'
Having witnessed Asura activate Sage Mode, Xu Xiao quickly analyzed its advantages and disadvantages, and his interest in Chakra grew.
"It seems you are quite familiar with my power, or rather, you had already guessed it. Stranger, I'm becoming increasingly curious about your origins."
After Asura activated Sage Mode, his senses increased significantly, and he was even able to detect Xu Xiao's subtle facial expressions and movements.
Judging from Xu Xiao's completely unsurprised expression, he must have witnessed or guessed that he possessed this power.
"I've only heard of it, but this is a good opportunity for me to see just how much potential this power holds."
Xu Xiao spoke confidently, without even launching an attack.
Even with Asura's Sage Mode being incredibly powerful, it didn't quite reach the point where he was taken aback; his reaction was more of a curiosity about new power.
"Alright, I hope you can truly experience my way of the ninja!"
Asura moved swiftly, appearing in front of Xu Xiao in the next second.
His golden fist suddenly lashed out, creating a series of sonic booms.
Unfortunately, this powerful strike was blocked half a meter in front of Xu Xiao.
Air Shield
As Xu Xiao's mental strength increased, the shield's defensive capabilities also rose again, making it impossible for mere fists and kicks to break through.
"Huh! A defense formed by mental power and Wind Release? It's very strong!"
Asura was knowledgeable and instantly figured out the principle behind Xu Xiao's Air Shield.
After all, He was an expert in using Wind Release techniques and recognized it at a glance.
"Go on, you don't actually think you can beat me with your fists, do you? Show me your strength, or you won't get a chance to fight later."
Xu Xiao remained motionless, instead intending to experience what it meant to possess power at the immortal level.
Asura's punch just now was entirely based on his physical abilities, barely reaching the strength of Xu Xiao's physical body.
If he remembered correctly, Asura inherited the so-called Sage Body, which gave him excellent physical strength and regenerative abilities, so it was understandable that he preferred to use his fists.
But if it's just about fists, that would be far too boring.
"Alright, then I'll show you true power!"
Asura's figure vanished instantly, and then wind elements gathered in his palm.
A massive wind-attribute Chakra agglomerate, resembling Rasengan, condensed in his hand before he threw it at Xu Xiao.
"Take this! Big Ball Gale Rasengan!"
Even before the attack landed, it exuded the sharp cutting intent of wind elements, aimed directly at Xu Xiao's body.
"Playing with the wind in front of me! You've got the wrong person!"
" Five Elements Art: Wind Control!"
Xu Xiao formed a hand seal, his internal Magic Power flowing, and a point of light the size of a blue egg condensed in front of him.
Wind Spirit! The source of manipulating the wind element among the Five Elements, and also the foundation of Xu Xiao's cultivation of the Five Elements Art.
Currently, Xu Xiao's Five Elements Art are only at the beginner level, with the Wind attribute being the only one that has reached a high level, giving birth to the Wind Spirit.
After all, his cultivation method of entering the Dao through martial arts is the Carefree Wind Riding, and his understanding of the wind is the strongest.
Asura's attempt to manipulate the power of wind in front of him was utterly futile.
A wisp of Wind Spirit appeared, and the next second the flying Big Ball Gale Rasengan transformed into wisps of breeze, which were then absorbed back into the Wind Spirit.
"You! Truth-Seeking Orb? Can they nullify Ninjutsu? No, there's no Yin-Yang Release aura here!"
Asura paused for a moment, then attacked again.
" Wind Release is useless, then let's try this!"
With his hands clasped together, Asura unleashed another power.
" Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands - Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Without needing to use the Wood Human Technique, Asura simply clapped his hands, and countless wildly growing trees sprouted from behind him.
These giant trees grew and shaped rapidly, eventually transforming into a thousand-armed Senju statue several kilometers tall.
"A technique to directly control organic matter by fusing one's own life force with Natural Energy? Ingenious, but meaningless!"
Xu Xiao immediately recognized the essence of this Hokage Ninjutsu and offered his commentary.
This move, with its massive size and wide attack range, is a very effective attack in terms of visual impact and clearing out mobs.
But that's only effective against fragile creatures like ninjas. Wide-ranging attacks are far less effective against Xu Xiao than the concentrated power he used earlier.
The sky was filled with enormous tree fists, which poured down from the sky, using their own weight and acceleration to generate absolute potential energy.
Xu Xiao merely glanced up and then uttered a sentence without any interest:
"What a boring move, slash!"
The green Wind Spirit floating in front of him flashed with light, and the wind element in nature instantly gathered.
A wind blade, spanning several kilometers, rapidly formed and shot out in an instant.
The Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands's fists were sliced apart by the massive wind blades, and were reduced to fragments before they even reached Xu Xiao.
"This..."
Even Asura, suspended in mid-air, was stunned. Xu Xiao's Wind Release was stronger than his own, something he had never expected.
The enormous wind blades were not only aimed at the Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands behind Him, but were also directed at Him.
Just as he was about to dodge, he found that a concentrated spiritual force restricted his movement.
"Not good!"
