Chapter 800: The Six Paths Sage Scroll
Chapter 800: The Six Paths Sage Scroll
"Brat, you can't escape. Give me back the 'Li'!" Daitoryu Ise Shiki appeared beside Boruto, his left hand reaching out to grab him.
"Heavenly Hand Force!" Sasuke, brought by Wave Water Gate, used his Dojutsu to switch positions with Boruto, then stepped forward and slashed at Daitoryu Ise Shiki's arm.
Clang! Daitoryu Ise Shiki didn't even glance at Sasuke, instead, he waved the red-beam fishing rod with his right hand, blocking the incoming blade.
Wave Water Gate seized the opportunity and quickly retreated with Boruto.
"Boruto, give me that 'Li'." Wave Water Gate calmly analyzed the situation before speaking.
Daitoryu Ise Shiki's target was not Boruto but an item on his body. As long as Boruto didn't carry the 'Li', Daitoryu Ise Shiki should stop pursuing him.
"Okay." Boruto didn't think much and directly took out the little turtle, handing it to Wave Water Gate.
Wave Water Gate was surprised that the 'Li' was actually a small turtle. However, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to be amazed. He placed the little turtle in his Ninja Tool Bag, then gathered Nature Energy and entered the Breathing Sage Mode.
"Wind Breath Chakra Mode!" The enemy was too powerful, and Wave Water Gate held nothing back. He entered the Breathing Chakra Mode again, elevating his state to the extreme and quickly distanced himself from Boruto.
Whoosh! As Wave Water Gate dashed away, the red-beam fishhook shot into the empty space where he had just been standing.
"What a nuisance. Can't you just listen for once?" Daitoryu Ise Shiki's face showed a hint of annoyance as he saw the missed fishhook.
Whoosh! Wave Water Gate launched a flare and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.
Although Sasuke had said he could handle Daitoryu Ise Shiki, after witnessing their recent clash, Wave Water Gate doubted Sasuke's ability to do so.
Therefore, Wave Water Gate decided to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to buy some time and wait for reinforcements.
With the Hokage's Office under attack, the Anbu had surely noticed the situation by now, but they didn't know where the enemy had gone.
If he could stall for some time, the powerful Konoha ninjas would undoubtedly come to his aid.
Then, the odds of victory would be more favorable.
Daitoryu Ise Shiki had no choice but to activate his Byakugan and give chase, engaging Wave Water Gate in a chase through time and space.
Wave Water Gate kept moving between several Flying Thunder God coordinates, while Daitoryu Ise Shiki continuously opened space portals to pursue him.
When about half of their Chakra was depleted, Wave Water Gate returned to the coordinate where he had initially launched the flare.
Bang! Just as Daitoryu Ise Shiki was about to strike, a thick stick thrust towards him.
Daitoryu Ise Shiki blocked it with the red-beam fishing rod but was forced to retreat a distance.
"Third Hokage, thank you." Wave Water Gate heaved a sigh of relief.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and a group of Jonin arrived to provide support.
"Mizuki, what's going on? Is there an invasion, and why was there no warning?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with caution, keeping a close eye on Daitoryu Ise Shiki.
The entire Konoha was covered by a massive Barrier. If there was an invasion, it would have been detected.
"The enemy is from the Daitoryu clan, and they possess the same time-space abilities as me." Wave Water Gate explained.
Using time-space Ninjutsu to enter Konoha would not trigger the Barrier's detection.
"The Daitoryu clan!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with shock.
As a former Hokage, he was also aware of the secret of Great Sage Kaguya.
He never expected that instead of Kaguya breaking the seal, another member of the Daitoryu clan would appear.
"Jonin, move back and use long-range Ninjutsu." Wave Water Gate didn't explain further to Hiruzen Sarutobi but immediately ordered the Jonin to retreat.
"The enemy can steal your Chakra. If you think there's a chance your Chakra might be taken, you can all withdraw." Sasuke had informed Wave Water Gate about Daitoryu Ise Shiki's abilities.
Daitoryu Ise Shiki's fishhook could steal a ninja's Chakra and use their own Ninjutsu through the stolen Chakra.
The stolen Ninjutsu not only required no hand seals but also produced more potent effects than when used by the original ninja.
"Haha, since you're delivering yourself to me, I won't be polite." Daitoryu Ise Shiki used the Yellow Spring Evil Slope to appear near a Jonin, casually waving the red-beam fishing rod, and stole the Jonin's Chakra, causing them to collapse powerlessly.
Whoosh! Wave Water Gate frowned and threw two Flying Thunder God Kunai, enveloped in wind-style air currents.
Wave Water Gate had anticipated this situation when he launched the flare, but there was nothing he could do.
One flare couldn't convey all of Daitoryu Ise Shiki's abilities.
Moreover, without calling for help, he and Sasuke alone were no match for Daitoryu Ise Shiki.
"Just return the 'Li' to me, and I'll let you go."
"Daitoryu Ise Shiki swayed his body, dodging the Flying Thunder God Kunai with a smirk.
The chakra of Wave Water Gate and his team was barely effective against Daitoryu Ise Shiki, and only the 'Li' Daitoryu Ise Shiki was too lazy to engage.
'Sage Art: Rasengan!'
In response, only a combined attack from three people could challenge Daitoryu Ise Shiki.
Sasuke concentrated lightning-attribute chakra in his hand and fired a Chidori Spear.
Hiruzen Sarutobi swung his enlarged and thickened Enma Staff, aiming at Daitoryu Ise Shiki.
Wave Water Gate used the Flying Thunder God Technique to circle behind and follow up with a Rasengan.
'They're so stubborn.'
Daitoryu Ise Shiki shook his head, and with two swift movements, he evaded the attacks from all three.
'Such quick reflexes!'
Wave Water Gate was astonished.
If Daitoryu Ise Shiki had countered or directly blocked their attacks, Wave Water Gate wouldn't have been so surprised.
To dodge their combined assault solely through his own reflexes was truly awe-inspiring.
'You cannot defeat me. After all, my eyes can see the future.'
Seeing Wave Water Gate's surprised expression, Daitoryu Ise Shiki boasted.
After speaking, Daitoryu Ise Shiki swung his rod towards Wave Water Gate.
'Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!'
Hiruzen Sarutobi swiftly performed hand seals, creating a thick earthen wall that separated Daitoryu Ise Shiki from Wave Water Gate.
But Daitoryu Ise Shiki's red-beam fishing rod was exceptionally powerful, and it soon broke through the earthen wall, forcing Wave Water Gate to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge.
'Shadow Clone Technique!'
'Five Element Combination Secret Technique!'
Hiruzen Sarutobi created four shadow clones, and together with his original body, they unleashed powerful ninjutsu.
Even the capable Jonin were doing their best to attack from a distance with ninjutsu.
Despite the onslaught of ninjutsu, Daitoryu Ise Shiki dodged most of them with ease, as if strolling through a garden.
Although Daitoryu Ise Shiki couldn't avoid Hiruzen Sarutobi's wide-range ninjutsu, it was blocked by the ninjutsu released from the red-beam fish basket behind him.
'Sasuke, can your space-switching ninjutsu work on anyone?'
Wave Water Gate pondered for a moment and walked over to Sasuke's side to ask.
Ordinary ninjutsu was mostly ineffective against Daitoryu Ise Shiki, and they couldn't even hit him.
As for taijutsu, Daitoryu Ise Shiki's uncanny dodging ability kept him undefeated.
To defeat such a formidable opponent, special measures were required.
The ability Sasuke displayed when rescuing Boruto was precisely the special measure Wave Water Gate needed.
'Yes, but the range is limited. It won't work beyond a certain distance, and with my current chakra, I can only use it twice at most.'
Sasuke nodded, explaining the effects of his Heavenly Hand Force.
'Twice is enough.'
Wave Water Gate took a deep breath and nodded.
Boom!
Although Daitoryu Ise Shiki had little interest in the Konoha Ninja, being attacked meant he had to retaliate.
Under Daitoryu Ise Shiki's fierce assault, Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones dissipated one by one, and even his original body was in disarray. Most of the Jonin were severely injured and lying on the ground.
Whoosh!
Countless kunai broke through the air, each attached with explosive tags, raining down on Daitoryu Ise Shiki and forcing him to retreat.
'Hiruzen, are you okay? What's going on?'
Mizuki Mochizuki, carrying a large scroll, and Tsunade, dressed in combat attire, rushed over and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi.
'An intruder has invaded, but there's only one, and they're incredibly powerful. Be extremely careful.'
Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, taking a deep breath.
Mizuki Mochizuki and Tsunade nodded solemnly, both alert and focused.
The fact that two Hokages, along with so many Jonin, were at a disadvantage left no doubt that this was a monstrous foe.
'Occasionally, a little playtime is amusing, but I've had enough. Be careful from now on.'
After dodging, Daitoryu Ise Shiki didn't attack Hiruzen Sarutobi and his team again. Instead, he laughed and charged towards Wave Water Gate on the other side.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, Wave Water Gate teleported Sasuke and himself to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.
His plan had a low tolerance for error, so he had to utilize all available power to ensure success.
'Third Hokage, both of you, please fight with all your might without holding back.'
Wave Water Gate placed one hand on Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder and the other on Mizuki Mochizuki's, speaking earnestly.
Time was of the essence, so he couldn't explain his tactics in detail and had to quickly assign tasks.
'Ame no Habakiri!'
Daitoryu Ise Shiki calmly threw out numerous red beams towards the group, forcing them to scatter.
'Kakure-MBUgu!'
Mizuki Mochizuki unleashed a barrage of various ninja tools, and he himself rushed in for close combat.
Hiruzen Sarutobi once again released his Shadow Clone Technique, with the original body and the clone assuming different positions to use their ninjutsu and seal off Daitoryu's ability to escape through space.
"So this is your all? I seem to have overestimated you."
Daitoryu continued his leisurely stroll, his body showing no signs of injury.
This was the reason for Daitoryu's relaxed demeanor.
On this planet, only the grown-up Naruto and Sasuke could pose a threat to him; the rest were insignificant, and their numbers made no difference.
Even Naruto and Sasuke had to combine their powers to threaten him; alone, they were not worth worrying about.
Just as Daitoryu was thinking this, Sasuke, tightly gripping the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, gradually approached him.
Daitoryu silently switched his Rinnegan to the Blue Rinnegan.
He had three types of eyes: the Byakugan, the Blue Rinnegan, and the Red Rinnegan.
He couldn't use all three eyes simultaneously, but he could switch between them at will.
The Byakugan was similar to the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, only more powerful.
The Blue Rinnegan was different; it was Daitoryu's most potent eye, capable of reversing time by five seconds.
However, this time reversal couldn't be used on his body, meaning that if he was injured, he couldn't heal himself by reversing time.
Moreover, the five-second reversal couldn't be used consecutively to achieve a ten-second effect; it could only repeat the initial five seconds.
So, Daitoryu's strategy was to repeatedly reverse time before an attack hit him, re-experiencing his opponent's techniques to choose the best countermeasure.
"It's up to you now, Moonlit Immortal."
Wave Water Gate focused his breath to the extreme and took out a scroll.
When Moonlit Immortal left, he gave Wave Water Gate a Sage scroll, saying it sealed his Six Paths Sage Art.
Wave Water Gate wasn't sure about the difference between Six Paths Sage Art and ordinary Sage Art, but he knew its power must be greater than his own.
The reason he asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to go all out wasn't because he expected them to suppress Daitoryu.
Instead, Wave Water Gate noticed Daitoryu's extreme arrogance, treating them as mere playthings, not even considering them opponents.
Daitoryu was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to kill fallen ninjas, even if they were still alive.
This wasn't because Daitoryu had a kind heart; he simply didn't view ninjas as people and wasn't the type to go out of his way to crush them.
Wave Water Gate wanted to use Hiruzen Sarutobi to make Daitoryu even more arrogant and overconfident, leading him to believe that all their attacks were harmless and exposing his weaknesses.
The real trump card was always the scroll given by Moonlit Immortal.
Clang! Sasuke's strike was blocked by Daitoryu, who countered with a Red_beam Fishing Rod, slicing Sasuke's body with a blood-colored wound.
"Hahaha, without Naruto, you're not that impressive."
Daitoryu mocked mercilessly.
Whoosh! Wave Water Gate activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting next to Mizuki Mochizuki and entering the core combat zone.
Daitoryu remained unmoved.
A mere mortal with slightly faster speed, what use could he be?
Even if he used his face to catch the so-called Rasengan, he wouldn't be injured. Compared to Naruto's Rasengan, Wave Water Gate's was too weak.
He simply didn't want to get dirty, so he dodged.
Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, and his chakra erupted from his eyes.
"Heavenly Hand Force!"
Daitoryu and Mizuki Mochizuki's positions were swapped.
"Sage Art: Rasengan Azure Flame!"
Wave Water Gate infused all his Sage chakra into the sealing scroll and struck Mizuki Mochizuki in front of him.
Before Daitoryu could react, a terrifying fireball, shimmering in blue and gold, struck his body.
Boom!
A blinding flame engulfed Daitoryu, causing an indescribable burning sensation that contorted his face, charring half of his body black like charcoal.
"How is this possible? These lowly creatures can use such an attack."
Daitoryu was shocked beyond words.
Without a moment's hesitation, he switched his eyes to the Red Rinnegan.
The Red Rinnegan allowed him to cast Yellow Spring Evil Slope faster.
A black teleportation gate opened swiftly beneath Daitoryu's feet, carrying him away from the battlefield.
Plop.
Wave Water Gate could no longer stand, collapsing to the ground.
Even with the Six Paths Sage Art scroll, it wasn't easy to use, nearly draining all his chakra.
Tsunade hurried forward and used her medical ninjutsu to treat Wave Water Gate.
