Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Psychic Art"

A slug, similar in size to the Six-Tails, appeared; this was a large clone of the Slug Sage.

"Slug Immortal, please use acid."

"Okay, Hoshino. Glossal acid."

The slug spewed out acidic liquid enhanced by natural energy, which collided with the acidic liquid of the six-tailed slug. After a brief stalemate, the slug master gained the upper hand, and the six-tailed slug's acidic liquid was pushed back.

As the acid was poured on, green smoke continuously billowed from the Six-Tails' body, and it roared angrily.

Despite the pain, the Six-Tails lunged at the Slug Sage's clone.

The Slug Sage's large clone split, and countless smaller slugs covered the Six-Tails' body.

The small slug continued to spew acid, corroding the six-tailed creature, which roared in anger.

Hiruzen

Undeterred, the six-tailed slug secreted acid on its skin, its entire body lumped together, but the acid had limited effect on the small slug.

It rolled up its body and crushed many small slugs, and one small slug crawled onto Hyuga Hoshino's shoulder.

"Hoshino, this is all I can do to help. I'll head back now."

After a puff of white smoke, the small slugs returned to the Wet Bone Forest.

Having broken free from the Slug Sage's clone, the Six-Tails stared intently at Hyuga Hoshino, knowing full well that he was the real culprit.

Tailed Beast Ball

The Six-Tails' speed in condensing a Tailed Beast Ball far surpassed that of the Three-Tails. In an instant, a Tailed Beast Ball was condensed, aimed at Hyuga Hoshino, and launched.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Hinata Hoshino took out his gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, then took them off again, revealing his signature smile.

Black Zetsu, hidden in the shadows, was startled again. Could it be that Hyuga Hoshino was going to kill the Six-Tails? It shouldn't be... right?

Then he saw a sage's face appear on Hinata Hoshino's face.

Black Zetsu: **Hyuga Hoshino, ***, damn it, I'll definitely ****, if you weren't still useful, I ****

"Celestial Art: Great Flame Bullet, Celestial Art: Thunder Ball, Celestial Art: Vacuum Jade, Celestial Art: Great Waterfall Technique, Celestial Art: Rock Iron Cannon Technique, Celestial Art: Five Elements Great Barrage Technique"

Hyuga Hoshino created five shadow clones, using five types of ninjutsu and empowered by Sage Chakra to bombard the Tailed Beast Ball.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared in surprise at the ninjutsu Hyuga Hoshino was using. "This is my technique! You used it, and it's even the Sage Mode version. What am I supposed to use now?"

The Tailed Beast Ball exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a massive burst of Yin-Yang Release chakra that clashed with the Five Elements Great Barrage.

"Boom boom boom boom"

As the dust settled, the Six-Tails appeared, unharmed despite the smoke, confirming its existence.

With the aid of Sage Chakra, Hyuga Hoshino leaped into the air.

"Immortal Technique: Divine Sky Strike"

A massive fist-shaped imprint crashed down from above.

Six-Tailed Rhinoceros Dog: What a brilliant move, a fist technique that descends from the sky.

Then, the six-tailed beast, resembling a slug, was pressed to the ground by the powerful wind pressure, completely spread out like a pancake.

"I give up, I give up, please stop."

"Hmm? It's speaking human language now. Looks like it's really convinced. I'll take it."

Black Zetsu's emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down. Luckily, Saiken surrendered quickly. Otherwise, Black Zetsu's plan to split the moon to save his mother would have been delayed even further.

Black Zetsu touched his chin, which he wasn't sure he had, and wondered why Saiken's surrender was so exaggerated.

It seems that when Madara Uchiha was beating it, it was the same thing; before Susanoo's fist even landed, it had already surrendered.

Even the Gallic military ceremonies weren't that fast; no wonder they're mollusks.

Hinata Hoshino approached the Six-Tails and poked it with a large tree. The Six-Tails remained motionless, like a salted fish that had lost all hope.

Hyuga Hoshino glanced at the system panel, which had no chance of copying, and decided to ask the Slug Sage to keep an eye on the Six-Tails for now.

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique"

Hyuga Hoshino led the Six-Tails to Shikkotsu Forest. In a battle in Kirigakure, they lost two tailed beasts and the Mizukage.

Master Yuan sighed deeply. He had lost, utterly and completely.

"Stop, we've lost."

The master ordered the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU to relay the order, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon seeing the master's command, also ordered a halt to the fighting and a period of vigilance.

"Lord Yuanshi, why are you surrendering?"

"We fought valiantly, why did you surrender first, sir?"

"Old man, our Kaguya clan hasn't lost yet, why should we stop?"

"Elder Yuan, our Snow Clan still has the strength to fight."

“Master, our Hozuki clan still has some strength left.”

The scattered voices of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas echoed across the battlefield, leaving the commander helpless. He then ordered the Anbu ninjas to continue giving orders.

"We have lost the Mizukage and two tailed beasts. If the war continues, our Hidden Mist Village will exist in name only. Gentlemen, tell me, is it more important to fight for pride or for the survival of the Hidden Mist Village?"

The Hidden Mist Village ninja pondered, and before Kaguya Clan Chief could say anything more, the Snow Clan Chief, acting on instinct, made the most timely move.

Ice Release: Mouth-Sticking Technique

Kaguya's mouth was covered with ice, creating a scene comparable to Wang Ye sealing Zhuge Qing's mouth with his earthen river cart.

The head of the Snow Clan, the Ice Release Kaguya Clan Head.

The Hozuki clan's Jonin breathed a sigh of relief. The clan leader was afflicted with a hidden illness, so only he could take charge of the overall situation. However, he was not the clan leader after all, and could not easily cause conflict with the other two clan leaders.

He had just prepared to use the Water Prison Technique to seal Kaguya's mouth.

Fortunately, the head of the Snow Clan made a move.

The ninjas from Kirigakure and Konoha retreated to their camps one after another, remaining wary of each other.

Finally back at their respective camps, they breathed a sigh of relief. Surrounded by ANBU ninjas, Yuan Shi walked to the front of the two armies.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, come out and let's talk."

Chapter 87 The Bottleneck of Sage Mode

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village officially began talks. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Genji held cordial discussions regarding the Hidden Mist Village's surrender and the conditions for its surrender.

Hyuga Hoshino was in Shikkotsu Forest at the time. The slug sage, whose size far exceeded that of the six-tailed shinken, saw Hyuga Hoshino arrive with the six-tailed shinken.

I had some doubts. Was this meant for it to help deal with the Six-Tailed Fox?

"Slug Sage, this is a six-tailed slug. I hope it can be kept in Shikkotsu Forest."

"Hmm, yes, that's possible, but is this alright?"

The slug sage's antennae pointed towards the Six-Tails, which stared intently at the group of slugs. Although Hyuga Hoshino didn't know where the Six-Tails' eyes were, he had this feeling for some reason.

Hyuga Hoshino patted the Six-Tails, which turned its head to look at the Slug Sage and let out a cry of surprise.

It seems that the Slug Immortal is the largest of the three immortals in the three holy lands.

Tsunade and Sakura Haruno activated the Yin Seal, exhausting all their chakra, and in the end, they could only summon a portion of the Slug Sage.

"Little Hoshino, sure, I'll keep an eye on it."

"Thank you, Slug Fairy."

Some small slugs tried to touch Sixtail, and Sixtail did not resist, allowing the small slugs to climb on its body. In just a few minutes, Sixtail's body was covered with slugs.

The Six-Tails seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. Hyuga Hoshino scratched his head. Wasn't this thing a tailed beast?

It feels like I've already merged into Shikkotsu Forest, how is that possible?

"Slug Sage, it seems my Sage Mode has hit a bottleneck. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"

"Okay, Hoshino."

Hyuga Hoshino sat cross-legged and instantly entered Sage Mode, his face bearing the same Sage mask as Hashirama Senju.

The duration could be maintained for more than 5 hours, but up to this point, Hinata Hoshino had been working hard to master Sage Mode, and the duration was stuck at 5 hours.

It seemed like this was the longest possible duration, but Hinata Hoshino didn't believe that Sage Mode could only be maintained for such a short time.

The Slug Sage carefully sensed the changes in the natural energy within Hyuga Hoshino's body and discovered the problem.

“Little Hoshino, it’s not that your total chakra is insufficient, but that the concentration of natural energy in the outside world is not as high as that of Shikkotsu Forest.”

Hyuga Hoshino nodded. As expected, it was still a chakra issue. It was a pity that Yagura, the water-style chakra powerhouse, was wasted.

Otherwise, his chakra should have been able to break through to the Super Kage level very soon.

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin and suddenly realized a problem: he could use Edo Tensei, so why not just find a White Zetsu as a sacrifice?

"Thank you, Slug Sage. I'll leave the Six-Tailed Fox here for now. I'll come back to pick it up another day."

"Okay, Hoshino."

Hyuga Hoshino left Shikkotsu Forest and returned to the battlefield. By this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already completed his negotiations with Genji.

Genji expressed his understanding regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's accidental killing of Yagura Karatachi, but requested that Konoha send someone to assist in capturing the Three-Tails once it revives, preferably Hyuga Hoshino.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said he would. He has given up on clarifying the matter of killing Yagura Karatachi; it's like a lump of mud falling down there—it's not *that*, it can only be *that*.

In addition, Master Yuan also demanded that Konoha return the Six-Tails and waive the war reparations.

Except for the last point, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to all of them. Hiruzen Sarutobi was not currently the Hokage of Konoha, so he was not qualified to waive the war reparations, even though in his heart, peace far outweighed that small amount of money.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's promise had met the bottom line for the master, and Konoha and Kirigakure temporarily ceased their war.

Therefore, the battlefield was silent, with only corpses that had not yet been collected.

Hyuga Hoshino stomped his foot, and a White Zetsu was pushed out of the ground by an earth spear. He then casually grabbed it and activated Kamui.

Inside the Kamui dimension, looking at Hozuki Gengetsu lying peacefully in the coffin, Hyuga Hoshino slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten about this giant power bank.
