Three enormous beasts appeared in Konoha, and the Sannin each stood on the head of one of the summoning beasts.
Orochimaru summoned Manda, Tsunade summoned Katsuyu, Jiraiya summoned Gamahiro and Fukasaku and Shima, the so-called Toad Sage.
Clearly, all three of them were really fired up and were getting serious.
" Orochimaru, Tsunade, you two are stubbornly helping that guy. From this moment on, we are true enemies."
"That guy is the one the Toad Sage prophesied would destroy the world, you..."
"That Toad could actually predict my future? Really?"
Jiraiya could finish speaking, a male voice interrupted him, and then a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Watch out, Jiraiya!"
The Sage Shima on his shoulder only noticed when Xu Xiao's hand touched him. He immediately reminded him and clapped his frog paws together, preparing to unleash Ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, a large hand grabbed it off Jiraiya's shoulder.
"Does this thing even deserve to be called an immortal? It's nothing more than a little demon that has gained sentience."
Xu Xiao held the so-called Sage Fukasaku in one hand and quickly scanned him with his Divine Sense.
It is still a normal flesh and blood body, but this Toad's brain is more developed than that of ordinary animals, and there is a large amount of natural power circulating in its body. Obviously, they use this as a means of cultivation.
The so-called Toad Sage are nothing more than animals that have gradually awakened their intelligence by harnessing the power of nature; in the cultivation world, they are all classified as demons.
"Release me!"
"Release Sage Fukasaku immediately!"
With the Toad held in Xu Xiao's hand, he was unable to mobilize any of his Natural Energy or Chakra. Meanwhile, Jiraiya realized what was happening, formed a danjutsu in his palm and fiercely met Xu Xiao's attack.
Immortal Method· Big Ball Rasengan
"It's no use. The gap between you and me is greater than the difference between a human and an ant."
Xu Xiao simply extended a finger, its tip wreathed in Magic Power, and with a whoosh, pierced through the opponent's Big Ball Rasengan.
Even Asura himself, who created this move, couldn't defeat Xu Xiao, let alone Jiraiya.
Those below the Six Paths level are nothing but ants to Xu Xiao.
"You... this!"
Before Jiraiya could react, Xu Xiao's fingers changed from poking to grabbing, and he grabbed Jiraiya's wrist.
An overwhelming force, which Jiraiya couldn't resist, came from his arm. With a pull and a tug from Xu Xiao, Jiraiya immediately lost his balance.
By the time he realized what was happening, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and Xu Xiao had already trampled him underfoot.
Wow~
A sweet taste rose in his throat, and then a stream of blood spilled from Jiraiya's mouth.
Xu Xiao also held the other Toad Sage on his shoulder in his hand, like a doll.
"Stop struggling. Killing you is easier for me than killing a chicken. Didn't you say that Toad prophesied my fate? Tell me, explain yourself clearly, and I might spare your life, how about it?"
Xu Xiao stood high above Jiraiya, stepping on his back, and his physical strength alone was enough to completely overwhelm Jiraiya.
In terms of physical strength, he is Golden Core cultivator who entered the Dao through martial arts, and he has also taken enhancement drugs; in terms of skill, Xu Xiao did not collect martial arts techniques from so many worlds for nothing.
That seemingly simple pull and tug actually involves profound techniques of transferring and releasing force.
"Don't even think about it! You're a scourge to this world, I absolutely will not... Ah!"
Having entered his Sage Mode, Jiraiya could already sense the world's rejection of Xu Xiao, but being stubborn with Xu Xiao would come at a price.
"I don't like being rejected. My Telekinesis will penetrate deep into every pain nerve in your body, applying pressure that brings a pain experience that no form of torture can match."
"You'd better think carefully about my question before you answer it."
As Xu Xiao spoke, he once again used his Telekinesis to stimulate Jiraiya's pain receptors throughout his body.
Without skin and flesh as a buffer, the pain is more intense and more profound.
"Ah!~"
Jiraiya's screams echoed all around, but despite his body convulsing in pain, he refused to utter a single word.
Xu Xiao could only shake his head at this.
"Still not talking? Then it seems I have no choice but to read your memories. I used to admire someone with backbone like you, but if you don't know what's good for you, then I'll have to make you disappear."
The Divine Sense pierced directly into Jiraiya's mind, Jiraiya was originally struggling in pain, instantly froze.
"Little Jiraiya!"
The two Toad let out a mournful cry.
Soon, Xu Xiao's Divine Sense penetrated deep into Jiraiya's Sea of Consciousness, successfully replacing the other's main consciousness and beginning to peruse his memories.
The scene before me changed, returning to the time at Mount Myōboku.
While traveling, Jiraiya was suddenly summoned back to Mount Myōboku in Reverse Summoning, whereupon the old Toad — Gamamaru— told Jiraiya a new prophecy:
"A world-destroying demon king has appeared, and he will bring consequences far worse than the Ninja Rebellion. All life on earth will perish, the God Tree will descend once more, and this world will become a wasteland!"
The eccentric Gamamaru received the World Will's rejection of Xu Xiao, and the content of the prophecy was deduced from the undisguised malice emanating from Xu Xiao.
So-called prophecies are mostly just predictions about the future based on existing clues.
It's accurate, yet not entirely accurate. From the moment you see this ending, things will never be the same again; it's just one possibility, a matter of fate.
Let alone this kind of thing, even the reverse causal events initiated by those supreme beings entering the river of time are not necessarily 100% accurate.
Especially for someone like Xu Xiao, who possesses extraordinary abilities, even the highest beings cannot interfere with his future.
Xu Xiao quickly skimmed through Jiraiya's memories after that, and when he saw that the old Toad had even performed a divination before Jiraiya set off, he couldn't help but want to laugh:
" The World Will, through these monsters that have gained sentience by absorbing the power of nature, wants to warn the beings of this world to unite against me."
"Just like the same tactic used against Kaguya then."
"From this perspective alone, the world's World Will is indeed much more active than that of the Great Tang Twin Dragons World."
"Unfortunately, even if I gather the power of this world, it will be of no use to me."
"No matter how many ants there are, they can't fight against a dragon. I'm no longer at the level where I can fight with numbers."
"Otherwise, Hagoromo wouldn't have acted like a coward."
Xu Xiao raised his head; the dark clouds that had gathered above him had dissipated. In the past few days, he had seized a portion of the world's authority using the power of the Heavens World-Crossing Gate.
The World Will naturally panic, but no matter how anxious they are, it's useless.
The remnant soul of Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, the strongest being in this world, had already spied on Xu Xiao's battle long ago.
The other party didn't dare to make a move at all, and even if they did, it would be the same.
Before coming here, Xu Xiao had always held the Sage of Six Paths in awe, but now the only one he could be wary of was the legendary God of Ōtsutsuki.
