Chapter 1032: Night City Summons the Slug Sage?
Chapter 1032: Night City Summons the Slug Sage?
After using "Paper Dance" to shield an innocent mother and daughter from a lightning strike, Konan witnessed the Rain Village transform into a veritable hell on earth. Her expression immediately turned resolute.
In the past, she had unconditionally supported Yahiko and Nagato's every move, following them without question.
But now, after witnessing the scene before her, Konan realized she couldn't remain passive as she had before.
Nagato's desire to fulfill Yahiko's legacy was something Konan supported wholeheartedly, and she was willing to strive to help him.
However, the current Nagato had clearly strayed from the right path. Their actions were no different from those of other ninja villages that had invaded the Rain Village, and they were no better than Hanzo, who had killed Yahiko.
They were creating tragedy after tragedy, producing war orphans just like they once were.
These children had done nothing wrong, so why should they suffer the same pain as them?
Konan, with her angelic wings fluttering, approached Nagato's physical body, hoping to calm him down and make him open his eyes to see the current state of the Rain Village.
But the Outer Path Demon Statue had already gone berserk, its eyes bloodshot. As Nagato's Rinnegan did not belong to him, the statue was beyond his control. Konan, who had intended to persuade Nagato, was unexpectedly struck by the Outer Path Demon Statue's palm and sent flying!
"Konan!"
Seeing Konan being blown away by the Outer Path Demon Statue, Nagato's eyes widened in shock. After Yahiko's death, Konan had become his sole pillar of support in this world.
But now, Konan had been struck by the Outer Path Demon Statue, a summon of his own, and her life was in peril. This caused Nagato's emotions to spiral out of control.
With his mental state compromised, Nagato inadvertently triggered the Outer Path Demon Statue's second rampage!
Countless chains burst forth from the ground, enveloping the Outer Path Demon Statue, the embodiment of the God Tree. It instinctively sought to absorb chakra to fill its empty shell.
In other words, at this moment, the entire Rain Village was within the Outer Path Demon Statue's indiscriminate attack range. Anyone possessing chakra would become its target, including members of Akatsuki.
As the largest chakra entity on the battlefield, the Outer Path Demon Statue focused nearly ninety percent of its power on Night City.
With the Outer Path Demon Statue's second rampage, the Wooden Man Golem on Night City's side was struggling to suppress it.
Konan's sudden intrusion onto the battlefield and her attempt to persuade Nagato to give up were not something Night City had anticipated.
Using his 'Ki Perception' ability, he could sense Konan's faint presence. If he didn't intervene, she would truly die.
Having lost Yahiko, Nagato was already shouldering the burden of the entire world. Night City couldn't fathom how Nagato would turn out if even Konan perished here.
Glancing at the Outer Path Demon Statue, now enveloped in countless chains and in a state of frenzy, Night City leaped from the Wooden Man Golem and bit his finger.
"Summoning Technique!"
A massive white fog, covering nearly the entire Rain Village, erupted, and in the next instant, a colossal blue-white creature resembling a toothpaste tube appeared on the map.
The summoned slug, its body stretching for several kilometers, looked like a white mountain range from a distance. Everyone present was stunned by Night City's summoning.
As one of the three legendary ninjas of Konoha, Jiraiya had also witnessed Tsunade's summoning abilities.
Yecheng had always believed that the largest slug in the Shinoboru Forest was only as big as Futatsume and his kind.
"A slug of this size... could it be the Great Elder of the Shinoboru Forest?"
Compared to Jiraiya, who knew nothing, the Kano and Shima sages on his shoulders were more knowledgeable about the three sacred lands. Upon seeing the several-thousand-meter-long slug, they exclaimed in surprise.
"That Great Elder? Kano, do you mean that Yecheng summoned a being similar to you from the Shinoboru Forest?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Shima quickly shook her head, "We dare not compare ourselves to that Great Sage.
The Shinoboru Forest, Myobokuzan, and Ryutenkyo are the three sacred lands for summoned beasts, and each of these places possesses the inheritance of sage techniques.
Furthermore, within each sacred land, there is an extremely powerful sage, just like the Great Frog Sage of Myobokuzan. The Slug Sage of the Shinoboru Forest is rumored to be the oldest and most mysterious sage among the three sacred lands."
"Unlike Myobokuzan and Ryutenkyo, the Shinoboru Forest doesn't have numerous individual summoned beasts. There's only one massive individual, the Slug Sage.
When ninjas summon slugs after signing a summoning contract with the Shinoboru Forest, they are merely summoning a part of the Slug Sage's body.
The latest news is that the book is about to be published!
Therefore, the size of the summoned slug determines their status. The larger the slug, the closer it is to the true form of the Slug Sage.
The size of the slug Yecheng summoned is so large that I even suspect it might be the true form of the Slug Sage. Even if it isn't, a slug of this size would still be considered a 'Great Elder' when we encounter them."
Although Yecheng had signed a summoning contract with the slugs, he only learned the Xianren Mode, similar to Hashirama Senju. However, during battles, he rarely summoned his beasts.
On one hand, his combat strength was already formidable, and he could use Wood Style to create massive constructs like the Wooden Man and Shinra Tensei.
On the other hand, the slugs' unique healing abilities were of little use to Yecheng, as he possessed exaggerated regenerative abilities and group magic for healing. This led to Yecheng rarely using the Summoning Technique.
"So it's Yecheng. I've been wondering who has the ability to summon half of my body into the Ninja World.
Since signing the summoning contract with you, I've rarely seen you use the Summoning Technique. Have you encountered a formidable enemy this time?"
The massive slug, several thousand meters in length, stood before Yecheng, resembling a towering white mountain that one couldn't see the top of.
Yecheng even suspected that the Slug Sage was communicating purely based on sensation, as his body was minuscule compared to the slug's massive form, and even with the Slug Sage's keen perception, it would be challenging to notice him at this moment.
"I have indeed encountered some trouble. I'd appreciate it if the Slug Sage could help me suppress that Waidao mo xiang over there. If there's any spare energy, please split off some individuals to heal the innocent bystanders affected."
Upon hearing Yecheng's request, the Slug Sage turned to look at the Waidao mo xiang, which appeared as a tiny toy before her. A look of surprise flashed across her face.
As one of the oldest beings in the Ninja World, the Slug Sage was well aware of the origins of the Waidao mo xiang. However, she never expected that this thing, once sealed by the Rikudo Sennin, would reappear in the Ninja World.
