Chapter 852: Soul Devouring Seal!
Chapter 852: Soul Devouring Seal!
"Soul Devouring Seal!"
Jiraiya unleashed this S-class forbidden technique.
Hmm!
This technique was exceptionally unique in the Ninja World.
Firstly, it belonged to the Uzumaki Clan, and was one of the few lucky survivors after Kaguya-sama planted the Divine Tree.
In the original story, the Fourth Hokage used this forbidden technique to play a game of 'Mahjong' with half of the Nine-Tails inside the Shinigami's stomach, directly becoming a Perfect Jinchuriki, which was incredibly overpowered. The Third Hokage also used it to take away the First and Second Hokage, along with one of Orochimaru's arms.
From this perspective, the opponent could be considered a 'Hokage Killer'.
From the First to the Fourth Hokage, they were all inside the Shinigami's stomach, and they could have played a game of Mahjong together.
The crucial point was that this forbidden technique was a soul attack, ignoring all defenses.
Hyuga Tsukuyuki felt an incredibly dangerous threat.
If they had been a little further apart, she could have easily created some distance.
But at such close range, she had no room to dodge, and could only face the Shinigami head-on.
It could be said that this trap was set by Jiraiya, and it was also a trap set by the opponent, using their life as bait.
The transparent Hand of Shinigami tried to pull Tsukuyuki's soul out.
Attention!
The power of the Shinigami depended on the user.
For instance, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was able to take half of the Nine-Tails with him even at the brink of death.
But if it were the Third Hokage, he could only take two weak souls, and with the forbidden technique's advantage over the First and Second Hokage's souls, even Orochimaru, whose soul had a weakness, could hold out for a long time. This showed that the power of the technique varied with the user.
Compared to the Third and Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya was definitely in a 'heavyweight' class.
Not only was he in peak condition, but in Sage Mode, the power of the Shinigami reached an unprecedented level, which was why he could threaten Tsukuyuki.
If it were the Third Hokage from the original story who used this technique, Tsukuyuki could stand before him without worry.
Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Since this was a battle of souls, one misstep could lead to irreversible consequences.
Dangerous!
Tsukuyuki never expected Jiraiya to be so decisive, willing to risk his life without hesitation.
The opponent had taught her a lesson.
These veteran powerhouses were not to be trifled with.
Even though she surpassed the opponent in many aspects, this sudden 'life-exchange' forbidden technique dragged both of them into a life-or-death struggle.
However!
She couldn't afford to lose!
With this thought, Tsukuyuki's will hardened like iron.
What she didn't know was that Jiraiya was equally impressed by her willpower.
It was willpower that influenced the battle of souls.
Now, with the Shinigami's help, Jiraiya was able to suppress her soul, indicating the terrifying strength of her will.
The clash of their souls didn't go unnoticed.
On the ground!
"Huh?"
Tang Ping sensed a chilling aura and instinctively looked towards the distant pit.
This chilling feeling seemed familiar to him.
He felt this way because he had witnessed the 'Night of the Nine-Tails' firsthand and couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
After their brief encounter, Tang Ping also learned some information about Nagato.
Any technique, whether ninjutsu or otherwise, that was chakra-based could be easily countered by Nagato.
His taijutsu was also incredibly powerful, leaving him with almost no weaknesses.
Instead of feeling worried, Tang Ping was excited.
He had finally confirmed something.
The Sage of Six Paths was indeed powerful, beyond what anyone could have imagined.
But he wasn't invincible.
At the very least, the Sage of Six Paths in the Ninja World matched the information Tang Ping had predicted.
In fact, he seemed weaker.
Because in the mind of a time traveler like Tang Ping, a true 'Sage' was all-powerful.
But the existence of the Sage of Six Paths lowered the bar for what a 'Sage' should be.
However, it made sense!
If the Sage of Six Paths were truly invincible, he wouldn't have struggled for several days and nights to seal his mother, Kaguya-sama, and paid a huge price.
In short, if it weren't for the Six Paths Technique, he might not be a match for Tsukuyuki in a direct fight.
With the information he had gathered, Tang Ping felt relieved despite being at a disadvantage.
As for the Sage of Six Paths, why did he remain silent and not communicate?
It was because he didn't want to reveal his identity.
Indeed, Tang Ping's intelligence advantage had once again proven useful.
Currently, it seemed that Tang Ping was on the first floor, while the Sage of Six Paths was on the fifth floor.
In reality, Tang Ping was in the atmosphere.
It must be said that the Shinobi God was inferior, not even aware of his identity.
Of course, that was only for now.
After today, the Sage of Six Paths would immediately realize the existence of 'Paradise' born from the Networking, and he would also discover Tang Ping's intelligence.
Once the attention was focused on him, it would be much easier for the Sage to obtain information.
"Melt Style: Volcanic Explosion!"
Tang Ping slammed his palm onto the ground.
At that moment, he suddenly realized where the familiar sense of coldness was coming from.
Shinigami!
He had studied this entity and naturally understood that Hyuga Tsukuyuki wouldn't be able to perform this forbidden technique. It must be Jiraiya's doing.
So it was no wonder he suddenly became so agitated.
With his sister in mortal danger, who wouldn't be anxious?
Rumble!
The ground began to boil.
A magma volcano erupted, spewing lava and smoke into the surroundings.
This technique was an improved version of the Earth Fire City Incineration, but it had evolved from a simple Fire Style into a Melt Style.
By harnessing natural energy, the technique's consumption was reduced, and its power significantly enhanced.
After using the technique, Tang Ping immediately rushed towards the distant deep pit, not taking the opportunity to launch an attack.
At this moment, Naruto's body was enveloped in a golden glow.
If Tang Ping's eyes didn't deceive him, if they stayed any longer, Naruto might directly enter the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
Among the Tailed Beasts, only the Nine-Tails had the ability to do so. It could be said that the Sage of Six Paths was biased, not even putting on a show.
Not only might Naruto access the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, but he might also directly enter the Six Paths Level.
Therefore, Tang Ping chose to abandon the test, not only because he wanted to save someone but also because he didn't want to push any further.
However... it wouldn't be surprising if Naruto had already reconciled with the Nine-Tailed Fox in the Mind Space.
In the original plot, this was only possible with the help of the Toad Sage.
But with the assistance of the Sage of Six Paths, wasn't it even better than the Toad Sage?
Of course, without the pressure, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't continue to give Naruto an advantage, but instead, allow him to grow through trials and tribulations.
However... Naruto was also following closely behind.
"What's going on?"
Tang Ping noticed Naruto behind him, and a thought flashed through his mind.
The Sage of Six Paths was currently unaware of the Networking and 'Paradise', so it was impossible for him to have any killing intent towards Tang Ping. Therefore, he must not be pursuing him.
Could it be?
Suddenly, Tang Ping thought of something.
If the Sage wasn't after him, then he must be after the person in the pit.
Jiraiya?
In the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, Jiraiya held no significance.
Tsukuyuki?
With the Rebirth Eye, not to mention the Giant Rebirth Eye, it was likely to attract the Sage's attention.
But would it be so important?
After all, the Rinnegan was merely a tool in the Sage's eyes, and the Rebirth Eye and the Rinnegan were just techniques of the same level.
That's it!
Suddenly, Tang Ping realized something.
There was another treasure in the pit.
Shinigami!
This was the real treasure.
Especially for the Sage of Six Paths.
His foundation was the Pure Land.
But he himself was not a Shinigami, a specialized spirit-collecting entity.
If there was a Shinigami to 'work' for him, it would not only improve the Pure Land but also liberate himself.
Otherwise, he would have to remain in the Pure Land, with no time for anything else.
For an existence like him, with a soul sanctuary, there was nothing better than a Shinigami.
But... Tang Ping also remembered something at this moment.
His Paradise seemed to be a soul sanctuary as well.
With this thought, his gaze became sharp.
