Chapter 224: Confrontation with the Six Paths 【47】
"Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails..."
Hagi Shimura looked up at Feng Ye and hummed in disdain. "I thought you were more cautious, yet here you are."
As his words trailed off, his figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Feng Ye. With his right hand gripping the Staff of the Six Paths and his left clenched into a fist, he threw a punch at Feng Ye.
As a direct descendant of Hagoromo Otsutsuki and a vessel of his chakra, Hagi's most formidable technique was taijutsu, far surpassing the renowned taijutsu of the Hyuga clan by leaps and bounds!
Feng Ye tilted his head.
Boom!!
Hagi's punch missed its mark as Feng Ye's head shifted to the side. A massive, visible fist, trailing wind, smashed into the distant ring-shaped mountains, causing them to explode into fragments.
Having dodged Hagi's punch, Feng Ye's right hand brandished the Kusanagi Sword, slicing downward.
Clang!
Hagi raised the Staff of the Six Paths, blocking Feng Ye's sword. The collision of senjutsu chakra and the chakra of the Six Paths caused Feng Ye's senjutsu chakra to falter and show signs of dissipation.
Unfazed, Feng Ye activated his time regression ability, stabilizing his senjutsu chakra once more. He then threw a punch at Hagi's face with his left hand.
Hagi countered with his own fist.
The two fists didn't make contact, stopping an inch apart. The wind and chakra emanating from the fists violently clashed.
Boom!!!
Accompanied by an earth-shattering boom, Feng Ye and Hagi were pushed back, landing dozens of meters apart. The ground between them was riddled with cracks resembling a turtle shell.
"The power of the Six Paths is indeed extraordinary..."
Feng Ye gazed at Hagi from a distance.
Compared to Obito Uchiha, who had not yet attained the power of the Six Paths, this descendant of Hagoromo Otsutsuki possessed speed and strength on an entirely different level.
Hagi's advanced Byakugan could capture all of Feng Ye's movements, and his body in the Six Paths mode could easily keep up with his speed.
In terms of chakra quantity, the two were fairly evenly matched, with Feng Ye even having a slight edge due to his complete Nine-Tails power and perfect sage body. However, Hagi's chakra was far more concentrated, akin to the difference between a kilogram of sand and a kilogram of iron.
The man before him.
Was the first person he had encountered who could truly confront him head-on!
"To think your scattered chakra would regroup... Your chakra control is indeed formidable, but it's futile struggling against the power of my ancestor that I've inherited!" Hagi said coldly.
His Byakugan had captured the flow of Feng Ye's chakra, clearly perceiving the moment it started to scatter before regrouping.
While Feng Ye's chakra concentration was far inferior to his own, it should have been easily overwhelmed. Yet, Feng Ye seemed to possess an incredibly strong chakra control that allowed him to withstand the assault.
However.
This clash also made him realize something—the power of his ancestor that he had inherited was superior to Feng Ye's chakra!
Even though the quantity was similar, the quality was on a whole other level!
"Shin Kugutsu!"
Hagi released the Staff of the Six Paths with his right hand, allowing it to transform back into the Six Paths Sage Mode's rods that returned to his back. He then threw a double punch at Feng Ye.
"Divine Sky Strike!"
Their techniques were nearly identical, both utilizing formidable taijutsu to twist the air and unleash massive fist-shaped air cannons, enveloped in surging chakra.
This long-range clash was purely a battle of attrition, testing their chakra and stamina, but Feng Ye feared no such thing, for his stamina and chakra were infinite.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Countless fist shadows collided in the void, erupting in a series of earth-shattering booms that seemed to shake the very moon.
Countless members of the Otsutsuki clan, direct descendants of Hagoromo, poured out of the buildings, their gaze fixed on the direction of Feng Ye and Hagoromo's battle.
"Is that the ninja that Lord Shehe spoke of, the one our ancestor intended to destroy?"
"He's actually capable of facing off against Lord Shehe, who inherited the power of our ancestor... Unbelievable."
The eyes of the Otsutsuki clan members were empty, unable to see the specifics of the battle, but they could sense the terrifying chakras of the two combatants, clashing from a distance and causing the very earth to tremble.
As direct descendants of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, their individual powers were not particularly strong, not too different from the Hyuga clan.
To them, the chakras of Feng Ye and Hagoromo seemed like vast oceans, their limits impossible to fathom.
"No, there is a difference in their power," the strongest among them, the head of the Otsutsuki clan, spoke in a deep voice. "Lord Shehe's power is more concentrated and pure. The other ninja's chakra is more dispersed, and while they both possess senjutsu, they are fundamentally on different levels."
With the power Hagoromo Otsutsuki possessed, destroying this enemy—
Would be effortless!
Moreover, they had offered their Byakugan to create the Reincarnation Eye, but it seemed that Lord Shehe would be able to crush their foe without needing its power!
After exchanging hundreds of Divine Sky Strikes with Hagoromo, Feng Ye raised his right hand, and with a snap, he gripped the hilt of the Kusanagi Sword, slashing at Hagoromo.
Szzz!
A golden arc of light sliced through the air.
Without hesitation, Feng Ye continued his assault, his sword a blur of motion as he unleashed a rapid series of slashes, each one imbued with the perfect blend of his Perfect Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
This was—
A Secret Ninja Art—Yasakani no Magatama!
The golden light exploded amidst the countless fist shadows.
While Feng Ye's senjutsu chakra might not match Hagoromo's Six Paths power, when channeled through his swordsmanship, it became more concentrated!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Countless golden slashes tore through the fist shadows, pushing them back bit by bit until they reached Hagoromo.
