Chapter 1030: The Awakening of the Second Pillar
Chapter 1030: The Awakening of the Second Pillar
"Don't you think your memory is a bit problematic?" asked Uzumaki Budou, as she unleashed a Raijin attack, sending Sasuke flying and simultaneously addressing the Second Pillar.
Indeed, the Second Pillar had been consistently opposing Konoha and was even determined to eradicate the decaying Ninja World for the Reiyo's will. However, his sudden shift to Konoha's side without any foreshadowing was undeniably abrupt.
"Hmph, you won't disrupt the bond between me and Naruto!" Sasuke responded with a frown as he got back on his feet.
It must be said that he was putting up a tough front, but his heart was undoubtedly wavering.
It wasn't that his determination had reached such a level that he could sense something amiss, but rather, it was because of Tang Ping's actions within his body, which were beginning to take effect.
Sasuke's current state was influenced by Indra's chakra.
Naturally, Tang Ping's actions would also have an impact, and the conflict between the two would inevitably create cracks in his once unbreakable control.
Without Tang Ping's intervention, there was no chance of Sasuke regaining his senses.
Of course, Uzumaki Budou had another ace up her sleeve.
Elixir Alchemist...no, it was the Clearing Elixir!
A potion that Tang Ping had never allowed to fall into the hands of others.
He wasn't concerned about others figuring out its secrets because the elixir required his blood as a key ingredient, making it a monopolized potion.
And the effects of this elixir were not limited to learning; to be precise, the Clearing Elixir's effect was 'calming and focusing the mind.'
In this state, one's learning efficiency increased by several dozen to a hundredfold, completely free from distractions, similar to the Sage Mode. This was why Tang Ping had nicknamed it the Sage Elixir.
Using it on Sasuke now could be considered 'the right medicine for the right illness.'
At this moment, Sasuke was under the influence and control of Indra's chakra, with Tang Ping's backup plan further confusing him.
Once he drank the Clearing Elixir, there was a high probability he would regain his senses.
Once he learned what the Sage of Six Paths had done to him, he would undoubtedly turn against them in an instant.
After all, Sasuke was only a chakra reincarnation and hadn't been affected by it, as evident from his values. He was nothing like the 'saintly' Shinra, and his twisted personality was evident.
That was why Tang Ping was confident that a single bottle of Clearing Elixir would solve the Second Pillar's problem.
However, the prerequisite was getting Sasuke to drink the elixir.
Currently, Sasuke was deeply influenced by Indra's chakra and would never agree, so they needed to beat him up first, then use verbal jutsu to sow doubt in his mind, and finally force him to drink the elixir to deliver the finishing blow.
If even this didn't work, Uzumaki Budou would have no other choice.
"Sage Jutsu: Raijutsu: Raijin!"
Uzumaki Budou's forehead glowed with flame crests, and dark golden eye shadow appeared at the corners of her eyes.
She had entered Sage Mode.
Natural energy was absorbed through the horns on her head, allowing her to enter Sage Mode multiple times during battles.
After depleting her sage chakra, the horns could slowly extract natural energy, and once a certain amount was accumulated, it could merge with her chakra to form sage chakra.
It was similar to Jiraiya's Three-in-One Sage Mode, except the horns only provided auxiliary support, unlike the abilities of Fukasaku and Shima.
This function wasn't unusual, as the Special Organ inherently had the ability to absorb natural energy, and with minor adjustments, it could be modified to include this function.
In essence, as long as one mastered Sage Mode, they could utilize it repeatedly in battles unless their chakra was completely depleted.
As for chakra?
Apologies, but the Special Organ inherently had a chakra storage function, with a base capacity of several times more, so it was never lacking.
This was also why Uzumaki Budou could use Sage Mode again; she had already utilized it once during her previous beating of Sasuke.
"Six Paths: Raijutsu: Raijin!"
Sasuke also unleashed the S-rank Raijutsu, Raijin.
Two giant birds made of lightning appeared, their piercing shrieks echoing through the sky.
In an Uzumaki civil war, Susanoo wouldn't be used.
It would be a pure battle of dojutsu power, and the opponent had ways to counter it, which was why they ultimately chose to fight with raiton.
It wasn't that Sasuke didn't want to use other techniques.
But whether it was genjutsu, taijutsu, or kenjutsu, how could he possibly match Uzumaki Budou?
If it weren't for the extreme Yin Release that allowed him to enter the Six Paths realm, it wouldn't be surprising if he were defeated in just a few rounds.
However, even with the extreme Yin Release, once the information was revealed, it only bought him some extra time before he was beaten into a pulp by Uzumaki Budou.
Boom! The two Raijin clashed, and the lightning engulfed everything around them. Amidst the dazzling light, an unusual sound could be heard.
Whoosh! The sound of flames erupting.
In an instant, Erzhuzi was blasted into the sky by a pillar of fire.
As he hung in midair, Uzumaki Budou appeared beside him, her left hand pulling out a bottle of elixir from her tactical belt.
"From now on, it's up to your luck!"
She smashed her right fist into Sasuke's stomach, paralyzed by Raijutsu and unable to resist, forcing his mouth open.
Glug!
The clearing elixir poured into his mouth.
Crack!
Then, Uzumaki Budou broke his legs, ensuring that even if Sasuke wasn't fully conscious, he couldn't stop her from what she was about to do next.
Uzumaki Budou hadn't forgotten what her most important task was at this moment.
The latest, newest, smallest, and most secret book is in the sixth, ninth, and tenth books.
Stop the Sage of Six Paths from interrupting Tang Ping's ascension.
That's why she chose to engage in a tough fight with Sasuke.
In reality, her injuries were more severe than Sasuke's.
It was only because she activated 'Heaven's Stable,' restoring her body to its previous state, that she was able to use Katon to blast Sasuke into the air and complete this combo in midair.
As you can see, the support-type Mangekyou is indeed far more useful than the offensive type.
The Mangekyou of Heaven's Stable is essentially an alternative version of Izanagi, and using it in combat can completely catch the enemy off guard.
As Sasuke had expected, she was indeed severely injured.
In fact, there was no issue with this assessment, but the ability of the Mangekyou of Heaven's Stable was so well-hidden that his calculations were off, and he was defeated in one combo.
Bang! Sasuke's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
Fortunately, despite being paralyzed, he had a vast amount of chakra, preventing his body from turning into mincemeat.
However, even after the paralysis wore off upon landing, he showed no signs of getting up. Instead, he lay flat on the ground, his eyes clear and lucid, muttering to himself:
"So... that's how it is!"
As he spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in his clear eyes.
Yes, at this moment, Erzhuzi had regained consciousness and realized the strangeness of the previous situation.
First was the abrupt change in stance, returning to the Konoha side. He could sense something amiss by checking his memories.
The truth, undoubtedly, was related to the Sage of Six Paths.
As for his instinctive kick to Naruto, which ruined the plan to seal Mikoto and forced the Sage of Six Paths to appear, he suspected it was Tang Ping's doing.
It can be said that Erzhuzi is indeed not stupid, especially under the 'Elixir Time' brought about by the clearing elixir.
Moreover, he was well aware of who was truly on his side.
Therefore, at this moment, not only did he not blame Uzumaki Budou for breaking his legs, but he was also extremely grateful to her.
Because she was determined to help him regain consciousness.
However... this was also an opportunity.
A brilliant plan flashed through Sasuke's mind.
Yes, this was indeed a great opportunity.
Because only he knew that he had regained consciousness, and he could take advantage of this to backstab the Sage of Six Paths.
After regaining consciousness, Erzhuzi naturally hated the other party to death, so he made up his mind.
He sat up, first taking out and drinking a hidden elixir from his tactical belt.
Crack!
At the same time, he set his own bones.
As a ninja, this basic first aid was no challenge for him.
The elixir he drank was the original version of the healing elixir, the undiluted kind, and its healing effects were evident.
So, Sasuke was able to stand up immediately, and with his Mangekyou spinning in his eyes, he directly summoned the 100-meter-tall, complete form of the purple Susanoo, spreading its wings and flying towards the Sage of Six Paths.
If one didn't know the inside story, they would surely think that he was there to support the Sage of Six Paths.
But in reality, when Sasuke rushed into the battlefield and reached the other side...
