Chapter 431 Fate Ends, Naruto and Sasuke Die

Two days later.

No miracle occurred. Naruto and Sasuke lay motionless on the ground, their eyes, exhausted and dazed, staring in despair at Li Yaoying's clone in the sky, which still shone brightly with abundant chakra.

"Not bad, it's managed to hold on until now!"

Li Yaoying's clone stood in the void, looking down at Naruto and Sasuke below, and sincerely gave them a "not bad" evaluation.

After Obito's clone became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki again, he stopped holding back and went all out, determined to kill Naruto and Sasuke.

But the two of them persevered and pulled through.

As I said before, spatial abilities are simply unsolvable.

Faced with the unsolvable spatial transfer of the Heavenly Hand Force, Li Yao had no choice.

Only when Naruto and Sasuke's chakra was exhausted by him did victory truly belong to Li Yao.

"Where is the Sage of Six Paths? Isn't he coming to your rescue?"

Li Yaoying's clone flew down and came to Naruto and Sasuke, asking them with a smile.

Two black hole-shaped spatial spheres landed above their foreheads, capable of causing their heads to disappear at any moment.

If the Sage of Six Paths truly cared about the reincarnations of his two sons, he probably wouldn't want them to die.

Li Yao wanted to see if he could force the Sage of Six Paths out of hiding; he was eager to test his skills against the Sage of Six Paths.

Two days later, Li Yao's strength had undergone a complete transformation.

Not only did Li Yao obtain the Truth-Seeking Balls, but he also copied the Yin-Yang Release technique at the Six Paths level, and even Sasuke's Amenotejikara spatial ability.

It can be said that Li Yao is now a true Six Paths level powerhouse, not a pseudo-Six Paths relying on the Ten-Tails' chakra.

Li Yao wanted to test the difference between himself and the Sage of Six Paths, who had abandoned his physical body. After all, if he couldn't beat him, it would just be a shadow clone.

Li Yao's main body is still in the Divine Might Space, so he can use a shadow clone to test the Sage of Six Paths' strength, which is very worthwhile.

Unfortunately, even though the black hole space was already close to Naruto and Sasuke's foreheads, the Sage of Six Paths did not emerge, which disappointed Li Yaoying's clone somewhat.

"You know about the Sage of Six Paths!"

Naruto was somewhat surprised. The Sage of Six Paths was just a legend. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the Sage of Six Paths was still alive. Now that Li Yao was so certain of the existence of the Sage of Six Paths, he must have known about the Sage of Six Paths' existence for a long time.

"Just kill me if you want, stop with all this nonsense!" Sasuke said coldly. He never begged anyone, nor did he expect anyone to save him.

"You two...you're really pathetic!"

Looking down at Naruto and Sasuke, Li Yao suddenly felt sorry for them.

From a young age, the two were given titles such as Chosen Ones and Sage of Six Paths by the toads of Mount Myōboku and the Sage of Six Paths. They fought desperately for the peace of the ninja world, but when they were about to die, not one of the old guys who could truly save the ninja world came to their rescue.

Whether it's the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku or the Sage of Six Paths, they both have the ability to rescue Naruto and Sasuke from Li Yao's hands at this moment.

Leaving aside the Sage of Six Paths, he was a powerful figure with the strength of the Six Paths a thousand years ago. He was naturally gifted, and now, a thousand years later, his strength has only become more terrifying. He wants to rescue Naruto from Li Yaoying's clone, and Li Yaoying's clone is not confident that it can be kept.

The toad sage of Mount Myōboku is the same; he is an ancient monster who has lived for thousands of years.

Any monster that has lived for thousands of years cannot be simple in strength.

Furthermore, the toad master can see scenes from other parallel worlds through his dreams, indicating that he possesses at least some spatial or temporal abilities or other special powers.

In short, their strength is not simple.

Mount Myōboku, recognized as one of the three great sacred sites for summoning beasts in the ninja world, is the earliest and most adept place to utilize natural energy. It also has the best understanding of and the most in-depth research on sealing techniques derived from natural energy.

Li Yao himself was proficient in sealing techniques, and now that he could absorb natural energy, he understood even more clearly how terrifying the Toad Clan of Mount Myōboku was, who could condense natural energy into something akin to ninjutsu chakra, and how terrifying the Toad Sage among them was.

The opponent's basic sealing incantations, which they discovered from natural energy, and the various sealing techniques they developed over thousands of years, must be numerous and terrifying.

In Li Yao's mind, the Toad Sage was no weaker than the Sage of Six Paths, and might even be more terrifying.

After all, the Toad Sage truly lived for a thousand years in his physical form, a feat that is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

Given the Toad Sage's strength, Li Yao felt there was a high probability he could rescue Naruto from Li Yao's shadow clone.

However... Naruto and Sasuke were about to be killed by Li Yao, but Gamamaru of Mount Myōboku still didn't make a move.

Clearly, these toads don't care about Naruto's death at all, or even the deaths of humans in the ninja world.

The toads of Mount Myōboku, who possess their own separate dimensions, will only come out to do things when faced with an enemy like the Divine Tree, which drains all the natural energy of a planet and threatens their living space.

Otherwise, what does it matter to them how many humans die in the ninja world? They are not of the same race as humans, and as long as the natural energy is still there, that's fine.

Although Li Yao did not know the true thoughts of the toads of Mount Myōboku, he had already guessed what they were thinking.

Since that's the case, then let Naruto and Sasuke's fate end here.

"End your tragic lives!"

After saying that, Li Yao jumped backward. At the same time, with a thought, the black hole space spheres on their foreheads suddenly expanded.

Naruto and Sasuke trembled, but it was to no avail. They had fought until they were completely exhausted and could no longer put up any resistance.

"Is he dead?!"

"Alright!"

Finally, before his vision went black, Naruto turned his head to look at Sasuke and smiled.

Whether he died alongside Sasuke or fought side-by-side before dying together, Naruto's lonely heart, which had been lonely since childhood, at least had companionship in the end.

"Die, all of you die!"

Sasuke sighed inwardly, "They're all dead. True peace has come. There's no new beginning without destruction."

In the end, Sasuke actually thought about peace in the ninja world.

It must be said that human nature is hard to discern.

clap clap!

As expected, the two main characters and saviors of the Naruto world, Naruto and Sasuke, completely disappeared from this ninja world, leaving only two circular craters as proof of how they vanished.

At Mount Myōboku, the Toad Sage watched in silence as Naruto was swallowed and disappeared into the black hole space within the crystal ball.

"sorry!"

"Naruto!"

The toad sage turned off the image on the crystal ball, looked up at the sky above Mount Myōboku, and sighed heavily.

As Li Yao thought, he was capable of rescuing Naruto.

But after that?

How should Li Yao handle this?

If they can't deal with Li Yao, what's happening in the Land of Fire now will be the same fate as Mount Myōboku.

Therefore, the Toad Immortal dared not go out, nor did he dare to approach Li Yao, this visitor from another world.

He was afraid; he was afraid that Li Yao, that devil, would find the space of Mount Miaomu because of him.

Having lived for a thousand years, his heart had long been smooth and discerning, able to see through people's hearts, and cold enough to prioritize the people of Mount Myoboku above all else.

Li Yao is a person with a strong desire for revenge, and he acts in an extremely crazy and unscrupulous way.

Once he saves Naruto, Li Yao will definitely try every means to find Mount Myōboku and destroy the toad clan there.

This is a scene that the Toad Sage would never want to see.

Therefore, even if Naruto is sacrificed, the Toad Sage will not attack Li Yao.

Because he wasn't confident he could kill Li Yao, the Toad Sage believed that the Sage of Six Paths had made the same decision as him the moment Li Yao used his space-time ninjutsu.

Both of them understood that Li Yao possessed space-time ninjutsu, and it was a defensive type of space-time ninjutsu.

Then they would have no chance of killing Li Yao, as both of them understood the terrifying power of space-time ninjutsu.

Therefore, both of them chose to remain indifferent to the deaths of Naruto and Sasuke.

The Toad Sage saw it clearly: as long as he didn't oppose Li Yao, Li Yao wouldn't deliberately cause trouble for Mount Myōboku.

This is the main reason why the Toad Sage didn't save Naruto.
