Chapter 1023: 'Maternal Devotion, Filial Piety'!
Chapter 1023: 'Maternal Devotion, Filial Piety'!
Clang!
Amidst the clanging of metal, a figure clad in a white robe adorned with a tomoe emblem and wielding a nine-ringed vajra, appeared. This individual possessed a pair of mosquito coil-like Rinnegan eyes, with a pair of short horns and an additional Rinne Sharingan on their forehead.
As this figure emerged, the white hair that had been swirling around seemed to recoil in surprise.
"Mother, why must you insist on destroying the Ninja World? I truly don't wish to fight you!"
The moment this figure appeared, they began lamenting the fate of the world to Princess Mikoto.
Referring to Mikoto as "mother" and resembling her in appearance could only mean one person.
Sage of Six Paths!
Also known as Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he was the eldest son of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Indeed, look at it this way, the entire Ninja World is nothing more than a playground for the Otsutsuki clan.
Hence, countless individuals refer to the Hokage as 'Otsutsuki's Household Affairs', for all matters originate from this family.
Damn!
This family is the bane of the Ninja World.
Without them, there wouldn't be so many troublesome incidents.
For a thousand years, people have endured hardships, entirely hindered by them.
Sage of Six Paths was well aware of the existence of Tang Ping and his group.
However, he was extremely confident that no matter how much Tang Ping and his group concealed their strength, it was impossible for them to pose a threat to him. Therefore, he simply ignored them.
One could say that Tang Ping's concealment was so deep that it gave the Sage of Six Paths the impression that dealing with them would be effortless.
Otherwise, if they had any influence over him, there was no way they could have descended upon the Ninja World.
But what the Sage of Six Paths didn't know was that the moment he arrived, Tang Ping had already sent out the information.
A hundred li away, the Mikos had begun their preparations.
With just one command from Tang Ping, they could activate the enormous composite Kekkai they had been preparing for a long time.
The most crucial aspect was that they lacked Chakra, ensuring they remained outside the Sage of Six Paths' 'field of vision'.
Therefore, it wasn't that the Sage of Six Paths was insufficiently cautious; it was that Tang Ping already knew his trump card, but the Sage didn't know Tang Ping's trump card.
The advantage of a first strike! However, this advantage was a one-time opportunity.
If this chance were missed, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't find it so easy to scheme against them in the future.
Then, it would be their turn to plot against Tang Ping.
Thus, this was truly his only chance in this lifetime, and if he missed it, such an opportunity would never present itself again.
However, Tang Ping wasn't in a hurry to activate the Kekkai. Instead, he began preparing to ascend to the divine realm.
It might sound simple, but ascending to the divine realm was akin to a ninja reaching the Six Paths realm. Despite the Sage of Six Paths and the Ultra Shadow being only one level apart, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Uchiha Madara utilized the Ten-Tails, an 'external cheat', to enter the Six Paths realm, making him the weakest among them.
In contrast, Tang Ping intended to use Spirit Energy to break through to the divine realm, causing a 'qualitative change' in his life, which was entirely different from the Sage of Six Paths, and the difficulty was equally immense.
For this reason, before his ascension, he had to optimize his state.
Even though the Ninja World lacked 'heavenly tribulations' and similar phenomena, ascending to the divine realm by harnessing the Spirit Energy converted from countless beliefs was no easy task. Thus, he had to prepare for everything.
Next, it was time to witness the scene of 'Maternal Devotion, Filial Piety'.
In terms of raw power, the Sage of Six Paths was indeed inferior to Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Even if one of them was sealed for a millennium, it didn't signify that the other's strength would continuously grow.
The Chakra system didn't operate on the principle that strength increased with time.
One only needed to observe the geniuses of the Ninja World; every one of them had earned the title of genius at a young age. True geniuses didn't reveal their potential until they matured.
For instance, the Sage of Six Paths was at his peak from the moment of his birth.
After sealing Otsutsuki Hagoromo and guarding the Pure Land for a thousand years, it didn't mean his strength had improved.
If he truly possessed such ability, he wouldn't have feared Princess Mikoto so much.
Therefore, in terms of strength, he was genuinely inferior to Princess Mikoto.
However, this comparison is based on data. If we consider the outcome of a battle, no matter how many times they fought, Tang Ping would always believe that the Sage of Six Paths would emerge victorious.
The Ninja World's Biggest Sweet Nene! Just from this nickname, one could deduce Princess Mikoto's combat prowess.
If we were to compare on paper, Princess Mikoto might claim, "There's not a single one who can fight me." But if it came to an actual fight, displaying even a fraction of her strength would already be considered an extraordinary feat.
In other words, she was the type who excelled in boasting but lacked practical combat skills.
However, as the ancestor of Chakra, facing the rebellious Six Paths Sage who also followed the path of Chakra, the advantage was overwhelming. It was a complete domination, with the Six Paths Sage being thoroughly suppressed.
"This..."
"How could this be!"
"The battle rhythm has already been set!"
...
The battle between Mikoto and the Six Paths Sage, in the eyes of the Reiyo Country's high-ranking officials, was a complete mismatch.
Despite appearing to effortlessly sweep through the battlefield, Mikoto was actually being led around by the Six Paths Sage.
But anyone could see that the Six Paths Sage was controlling the flow of the battle.
Battle rhythm!
Its importance was undeniable.
The newest, smallest, and youngest spoke up, expressing their thoughts about the Six Paths Sage's situation.
Geniuses like Kakashi, Madara, Hyuga Aikotsuki, and Itachi, who effortlessly defeated opponents beyond their level as if it were child's play, were experts in this aspect.
Although the Six Paths Sage had limited combat experience, being the master of the Pure Land, he naturally had access to a wealth of combat knowledge.
While it may not be on par with the combat experience of a genius, it was by no means weak. Therefore, when facing Great Hyuga Tsukuyomi, he effortlessly guided her according to his own rhythm.
Even at the cost of his injuries worsening.
In the original storyline, Naruto and Sasuke's 'easy' sealing of Mikoto was not due to their strength surpassing the Six Paths Sage, but merely fate.
The Great Frog Sage had prophesied that Naruto was the savior, and then guided the prophecy to fulfillment.
Under the influence of fate, Mikoto naturally appeared as the biggest sweet nene in the Ninja World, even falling for Naruto's 'Harem Technique.' She directly revealed her weakness, allowing herself to be sealed.
It can be said that in the original storyline, Naruto and Sasuke's easy resolution of Mikoto was largely due to the Great Frog Sage's efforts. Just like a thousand years ago, the Six Paths Sage's sealing of Mikoto was also due to the Great Frog Sage's behind-the-scenes influence.
Now, after Tang Ping decided to stop playing along and immediately attacked Myouboku Mountain, eliminating the Great Frog Sage and cutting off this hidden manipulator, it proved one thing.
Villains die from talking too much!
If the opponent didn't have prophetic abilities and control over the Ninja World, they wouldn't have targeted the Frog Clan so specifically.
Unfortunately, the opponent did, and so they perished.
This led to the Six Paths Sage personally taking action, but the outcome was even more challenging than Naruto and Sasuke's struggle in the original storyline.
Watching the Six Paths Sage being brutally hammered, Tang Ping, who had been adjusting his state, stood up, sensing that the opponent wouldn't have the opportunity to divert their attention. The Reiyo Country's high-ranking officials silently departed, understanding the situation.
Vibrant vibrations filled the air as an invisible Kekkai slowly rose, completely enveloping the area.
Tens of thousands of Miko stood at twelve ring-shaped Kekkai nodes, along with prepared runes and array bases, forming this intricate barrier.
A world filled with sunshine and grass, where countless people laughed and chatted, hung in the sky, like a layer of illusion.
The Heaven Dimension!
Indeed, the world created by Tang Ping directly utilized the Kekkai's traction to envelop the battlefield, cutting off the surrounding space.
It also severed the Six Paths Sage's escape route.
Anyone attempting to leave this area would enter the Heaven Dimension.
In such a dimension, even Great Hyuga Tsukuyomi would be at a significant disadvantage, easily falling into a desperate situation.
Similar to the Six Paths Sage's Pure Land.
If the opponent persisted inside and refused to come out, aside from Mikoto, who was her natural nemesis, others would have no means to defeat him.
Not even Tang Ping could do it! The home-field advantage was truly overwhelming, just like Tang Ping's dominance within the Pure Land, where the Six Paths Sage and Mikoto came to cause trouble, and he effortlessly defeated them both.
Mikoto's Yomi no Hirabayashi was useless in Tang Ping's Heaven Dimension.
As the Kekkai appeared, the two combatants immediately felt its presence.
However, Mikoto paid it no mind, for in her heart, once this rebellious child was dealt with, the others were mere insects that she could swat away with a single palm strike. She had no need to worry.
The Six Paths Sage, on the other hand, had no time to consider.
He had paid a tremendous price to lure his mother into his trap, and any distraction might cause him to fall, leaving no chance for the trap to activate.
But with the appearance of the Kekkai, an even more shocking event began to unfold.
