Chapter 1027: Hyuga Aikotsuki vs. Sage of the Six Paths!
"Soft Fist Technique: One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms!"
Hyuga Aikotsuki initiated the battle with the Sage of the Six Paths using her Soft Fist technique, engaging in close combat.
If it were the Sage of the Six Paths in his prime, her actions would have been suicidal. However, the Sage was currently in a weakened state, and sealing Mikoto was not an easy task.
Furthermore, one shouldn't underestimate the Six Paths level solely based on the 'Unburned Legend'. In that particular legend, the Six Paths level was portrayed in a rather embarrassing light.
While such a situation wouldn't occur in the Ninja World, the upper limit was still the 'Full Moon' level.
And at the 'Full Moon' level, Hyuga Aikotsuki could indeed pose a threat.
In other words, her destructive power had reached the Six Paths level, but her life force was still only at the Ultra Shadow level.
"Is this the legacy of Uzumaki Yamato...?"
As the Sage of the Six Paths responded to her attacks, he recalled the origins of the Soft Fist technique—the legacy of his younger brother, Uzumaki Yamato.
However, compared to him, Uzumaki Yamato had long perished on the moon.
The Sage was intimately familiar with the Soft Fist technique, making it effortless for him to counter and even counterattack.
But this was exactly what Hyuga Aikotsuki wanted.
She was controlling the rhythm of the battle!
The fact that her opponent was the Sage of the Six Paths didn't necessarily mean he was superior in combat intelligence to her, Kakashi, or Itachi. This psychological warfare was a part of her strategy.
By using the Soft Fist technique, a style the Sage was well-acquainted with, she could momentarily relax his guard.
One could say that this move shared a similar brilliance with the Sage's recent battle against Mikoto.
However, to execute such a strategy, one needed extensive intelligence support. At the very least, knowledge about Uzumaki Yamato was essential.
Just as Hyuga Aikotsuki's situation seemed dire, and she was about to be struck by the monk's staff—
Whoosh!
Her right fist, executing the Soft Fist technique, suddenly emitted three distinct beams of light in front of her. These beams intertwined and merged, forming a transparent lightsaber as thick as an egg, spinning at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Chakra Blade!
This was the ability Hyuga Aikotsuki had initially developed under the guidance of Tang Ping. Many of her other abilities were derived from this technique.
However, this Chakra Blade was not merely composed of chakra.
It was a fusion of chakra, spirit energy, and natural energy.
Hmm... It was akin to the Maikankoushahou, but instead of firing, it was a handheld weapon.
The firing version required an instantaneous burst of power, while this handheld version needed both strength and sustainability.
This weapon could even pierce through the Sonneityama, a testament to its formidable power.
Initially, the Sage of the Six Paths had anticipated that Hyuga Aikotsuki's punch wouldn't reach him. However, with the appearance of this half-meter-long weapon, the situation changed.
Thud!
The transparent light... blade tore through the Sage's chest, leaving a trail of blood.
The Sage... was injured!
This was the advantage of the 'First Strike'.
If you can't take it, don't play.
Of course, the reason Hyuga Aikotsuki wasn't the Sage's disciple was that she couldn't benefit from the 'Master Slayer' buff, which might have made her victory even easier.
Boom!
An overwhelming amount of chakra erupted, forcing Hyuga Aikotsuki to retreat just as she was about to strike with her second sword.
"Cough, cough!" The Sage of the Six Paths, having unleashed his chakra, coughed up blood and turned to Hyuga Aikotsuki, saying, "You've created such a terrifying technique; indeed, you are a genius!"
Although he had just witnessed this technique for the first time, the Sage of the Six Paths had already discerned its intricacies.
A genius technique!
It maintained a delicate balance between several energies, and if that balance were to be disrupted, it would unleash an incredibly powerful force.
"..."
Hyuga Aikotsuki showed no emotional response to the Sage's praise, for in her heart, he was already a dead man.
Anyone who opposed Tang Ping or stood in her way would be eliminated.
This was her raison d'etre.
Therefore, to her, the Sage of the Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Sect and a figure of great renown, was nothing more than an obstacle to be removed.
The name 'Lightsaber' had been given to her by Tang Ping.
He had said that her creation resembled a 'laser sword'.
Although Hyuga Aikotsuki didn't know what a 'laser sword' was, she named it the Lightsaber.
Whether the name sounded good or not didn't matter; what mattered was that Tang Ping had named it.
For Hyuga Aikotsuki, Tang Ping was the most important person, and everything else was insignificant.
Despite being a member of the Reiyo Country, Tang Ping could easily destroy it with a single command. Perhaps this was why Tang Ping never gave her any official position or stationed her anywhere, instead keeping her by his side most of the time, fearing her potential loss of control.
But what if Tang Ping were to unexpectedly pass away? Would Hyuga Aikotsuki then destroy the Ninja World?
Tang Ping expressed that it was none of his concern. After his death, let the floods come, for he was no saint who would worry about the Ninja World.
Facing the attack from Hyuga Aikotsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, having witnessed the power of the 'Luminous Sword', became even more composed and took the initiative.
Without the initial advantage, the Sage of Six Paths was indeed stronger than her.
Hum! A layer of green chakra enveloped Hyuga Aikotsuki's body, causing her eyes to emit a starry, cerulean light.
Reincarnate Eye Chakra Mode!
In this mode, her life force was infinitely close to the Six Paths Level.
However, 'life force' did not equate to combat power.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥head⊥start!
For a genius, the ability to fight across power levels was standard, let alone for someone as strong as Hyuga Aikotsuki.
And her goal was not merely to 'stall' the Sage of Six Paths; she was determined to kill him.
"The Reincarnate Eye?"
The Sage of Six Paths naturally recognized the Reincarnate Eye but showed no surprise, as he had known about it beforehand.
Furthermore, it was just the Reincarnate Eye, and he also had the Rinnegan, so he wasn't afraid at all.
At this moment, he had simply exhausted too much, unable to exert his full strength, but that didn't mean his abilities were limited to this extent.
A black Sonneityama fell into Hyuga Aikotsuki's palm, and she spun it while lightly shouting.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnate Burst!"
She unleashed a wide-range attack, sweeping the entire area in front of her.
Boom! A terrifying storm erupted from her palm, sweeping across the entire region.
However, when the storm touched the Sage of Six Paths, it vanished as if absorbed by a black hole.
No way!
With the Rinnegan, the Sage of Six Paths could naturally use all its abilities.
This was the absorption ability of the Hungry Ghost Path.
He didn't use these abilities when fighting Mikoto because they were useless, but that didn't mean he couldn't use them. Therefore, it was impossible for such attacks to threaten him.
"As expected..."
Hyuga Aikotsuki showed no signs of surprise at this.
She already had a rough idea of his strength in her mind, and during his previous battle with Mikoto, he had displayed all sorts of abilities and trump cards. So, at this moment, she was merely testing him.
Now that the result was confirmed, it was clear that he didn't possess any power beyond their imagination. The next step was to try to defeat or even kill him.
Hmm... Although Tang Ping had mentioned the 'wedge' before, the area was currently covered by a composite barrier.
One function of the barrier was to send souls and wills within it to the Heaven Dimension.
In other words, even if they killed the Sage of Six Paths before the barrier was lifted, he wouldn't be able to activate the 'wedge'.
The Sage of Six Paths was unaware of this, so he could only seal Mikoto.
But the Reiyo Country's upper echelons all knew about this, which was why Hyuga Aikotsuki dared to take such drastic action.
Moreover, when it came to sealing abilities, the Reiyo Country was no weakling.
Kiba was present, not to mention the tens of thousands of Mikos outside maintaining the barrier.
Sealing was their specialty.
Therefore, even if killing him was not an option, sealing was the backup plan.
Hum! A moonlight shone from the sky, passing through the Pure Land and landing directly on Hyuga Aikotsuki, causing her aura to surge again. Combined with the nine stretched-out fox tails behind her, she appeared both sacred and eerie.
"Is this the power left by the descendants of Hatake?"
The Sage of Six Paths frowned.
He was naturally aware of the existence of the 'Gigantic Reincarnate Eye'.
However, he had not paid attention to it until now, and now he felt a bit of regret.
The terrifying eye power accumulated within it was enough to significantly increase her threat level, even if it didn't push her to the Six Paths Level.
In a sense, she had already qualified to threaten him.
Hmm, the Reincarnate Eye, the Gigantic Reincarnate Eye, and the Special Organ, among other things, were what made Hyuga Aikotsuki a force to be reckoned with by the Sage of Six Paths.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that these were the things Hyuga Aikotsuki wanted him to see.
The real trump card was something else entirely.
