Chapter 116: Sage Technique - True Form of Zhurong
Chapter 116: Sage Technique - True Form of Zhurong
"Die!"
Hunt laughed maniacally as he punched towards his prey.
A hit would shatter the target with his Explosion Style.
Even a Kage-level ninja wouldn't be able to avoid his strike when surrounded by two Kage-level opponents.
Crack!
His fist, glowing with the power of Explosion Style, would explode on contact, capable of shattering even a mountain.
However, just as Hunt's fist was about to touch his target, it suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that he had suddenly lost his nerve, but because his neck was grabbed and lifted, causing his fist to hang limply.
"Do you think I can't sense your Earth Burrowing Technique?"
Tang Ping mocked him.
Ha!
Sage Mode was a 'comprehensive enhancement.'
Even though Tang Ping wasn't specialized in sensory techniques before, entering Sage Mode naturally elevated his senses to the Kage level.
There was no way he wouldn't have noticed anything below Kage level.
"You..."
Enraged, Hunt prepared to counterattack but found himself overwhelmed by a surge of Fire Release chakra, rendering his own chakra unusable and his body immobile.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A barrage of gold-tipped senbon and shuriken flew towards him.
"Flame Pillar Array!"
Tang Ping remained stationary.
Boom!
Multiple pillars of fire erupted from the ground two meters away, deflecting all the projectiles.
Don't underestimate the power of flames.
In the world he came from, multi-ton fighter jets could achieve supersonic speeds using flames, demonstrating their incredible force.
Of course, this kind of burst couldn't be sustained, and timing was crucial.
To use this defensive jutsu he developed, he would normally need to form hand seals, but in Sage Mode, he could release it without any seals.
While blocking the ranged attacks, Tang Ping used another technique.
"Koto Tsuki Yang!"
He squeezed the neck of his opponent, and the Fire Release chakra he had injected responded.
Boom!
Innumerable flames erupted from Hunt's body, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
Koto Tsuki Yang was a technique only Tang Ping could master.
First, he needed precise control over Fire Release chakra to ensure it was injected into the target without immediate detonation.
Then, he had to maintain control over the target, giving them no chance to escape, which meant he would also have to endure the flames.
If someone else tried it, the flames wouldn't care who the user was and would attack them as well.
Thus, the key to using this technique was having high fire resistance; otherwise, it would result in mutual destruction.
Despite the harsh conditions, it was incredibly powerful.
Once the Fire Release chakra was injected, the target couldn't use jutsu or move, making escape nearly impossible.
Hunt, the elite Jonin, was instantly killed by Tang Ping.
Sage Mode's dominance was on full display.
Facing two Kage-level ninjas and an elite Jonin's ambush, he managed to counter and kill one.
The explosive flames left nothing of Hunt, not even ashes.
Step, step!
Tang Ping emerged from the flames and took his place on a stone, facing Ycan and Rsha.
The momentum of his one-hit kill gave him the upper hand.
"This... is Sage Mode?"
Rsha's voice was low and serious.
After so much combat, he naturally had his suspicions.
Sage Mode was a secret for small ninja villages, but not for the major ones.
Not to mention the 'God of Shinobi,' Hashirama Senju, who mastered it, and Jiraiya, who currently had it. The major ninja villages would have records.
The three sacred grounds were called 'sacred' because they held the legacy of Sage Mode.
But they hadn't expected to encounter another 'Sage' now.
"Correct!"
Tang Ping nodded, confirming it.
Since he had already used it in public, there was no point in keeping it a secret.
Sage Mode wasn't the focus; the focus was on keeping 'Tanggu' a secret.
He wouldn't say it, and no one would dare force him to.
"Sage... I never thought Konoha would produce another Sage. Is it that the Hidden Sand can never rise? First, the God of Shinobi, then the White Fang, and now you!"
Rsha's tone was complex and bitter.
Tang Ping felt that the Sand Shinobi were a bit too unfortunate. Every time they tried to rise, there were always geniuses standing in their way.
"Of course, you Sand Shinobi don't have alien blood, so how could you ever rise to power!" Tang Ping muttered under his breath.
The entire shinobi world was the plaything of the Uzumaki clan. How could villages without 'Dragon Blood' lineage hope to rise to power?
What a joke!
If only they had eaten a few more peanuts, they wouldn't dare think like this.
"Even without me, you Sand Shinobi would never succeed!"
Tang Ping spoke the harsh truth.
Konoha was the 'protagonist' of the shinobi world. Without him, it was likely that a few more powerful shinobi would emerge at critical moments, or perhaps some secret techniques would appear. Lies might not hurt, but the truth was a sharp blade!
After hearing Tang Ping's blunt words, Rosha and Yugure fell silent.
Of course, they weren't losing their will to fight.
As Kage-level shinobi, their resolve was as strong as steel. This was their last stand.
Even if they were sages, it didn't mean they would admit defeat.
A series of fireballs appeared around Yugure, and she pushed her Scorch Release to its limits.
Six fireballs orbited her!
Each one was a Scorch Release technique that consumed a large amount of chakra. If used together, their power would be astonishing.
Swoosh, swoosh!
The soil around Rosha was continuously transformed into gold sand by his kekkei genkai, preparing for his ultimate move.
"Do you also wish to dance?"
Tang Ping sighed lightly.
He had no personal grudge against the Sand Shinobi; they were only enemies because of their positions.
However, it seemed the other side didn't think the same way.
Even knowing he was now a sage, they had no intention of giving up and were preparing to fight to the death.
The six fireballs around Yugure began to merge.
The light started to distort, and countless waves of heat spread, creating a violent storm.
The visual and auditory effects were at their peak!
But the other side was even more impressive.
Rosha formed seals with his hands.
Innumerable gold sands rose into the air, forming a massive golden cube.
If Tang Ping dodged the combined techniques of these two Kage-level shinobi, it would be a significant blow to morale.
Ninjas were paradoxical like that.
They would use any means necessary to complete their missions, but in battle, they were more chivalrous than samurais.
Tang Ping had no intention of dodging.
This was an opportunity to show off, and for him, a fun-loving person, it was exactly what he wanted.
He formed seals with his hands.
"Flame Armor Transformation!"
First, he used this A-rank technique.
A flaming giant appeared, enveloping him.
The real focus was next.
Just as the three of them were gathering their strength for their ultimate moves,
Both sides of the shinobi army knew that the next attack would decide the outcome of the battle, so they naturally paid attention.
Even the strong shinobi on both sides paused, in unspoken agreement.
They were restraining each other to prevent anyone from interfering with the confrontation.
The recent 'Hunt' was the best example.
As the battlefield grew quieter, a voice rang out.
"Hermit Technique: Zhurong True Form!"
Tang Ping slowly formed seals with his hands.
As he did so,
Rush!
Layers of flame veils wrapped around the flaming giant's upper body.
During this process, the flame giant continued to grow, and a large amount of flame wove into the giant's lower body.
Ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters... thirty meters!
When the flame giant stopped growing, it stood thirty meters tall, and a layer of crimson armor covered its body.
Yes, Tang Ping used hermit chakra to perform the true form of Zhurong, not just the upper body.
This was his ultimate trump card.
"What is this..."
"So big!"
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
...
Looking at the Zhurong True Form, the fiery giant in crimson armor, the shinobi on both sides of the battlefield were nearly speechless, some muttering to themselves in disbelief.
It was too astonishing.
The Uchiha clan called their Susanoo 'the power of the gods,' showing how impactful such a giant could be.
Now, Tang Ping had his own 'giant.'
However, his 'giant' consumed a lot of chakra, and he couldn't maintain it for long in his current state, so he had to end the battle quickly.
