I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 426 Yin-Yang Escape Technique!

"Haha..."

Tsunade gave two dry laughs.

"How is this possible?"

Although there are indeed many special creatures in the ninja world that are difficult for ordinary ninjas to understand.

For example, there's this living slug fairy in front of us, who knows how many years it has lived in the Shikkotsu Forest.

For example, there were the few Tailed Beasts that Konoha captured and sealed one after another, all of which were long-lived and incredibly powerful.

But no matter what...

That's the Sage of Six Paths!

Isn't the Sage of Six Paths a fictional character from mythology?

Just like the living slug fairy right in front of me.

Even though the legends of the "Three Great Holy Lands" have always circulated in the ninja world.

Even someone as prominent as Nara Rinka would respectfully address the slug as "the immortal."

However, in Tsunade's eyes, the live slug was at most just a super-large summoning beast that had lived for a relatively long time.

Immortals and such...

Absorbing natural energy and fusing it with Sage Chakra—is that what makes someone a Sage?

Wouldn't Nara Rinka also be considered an immortal?

Not to mention that idiot Jiraiya...

"Lady Tsunade, the Sage of Six Paths was indeed a figure who existed in world history."

The Living Slug Sage explained patiently and gently.

"Like the Ninjutsu, the Six Paths Ninja Tools, the Rinnegan... and your Konoha's Senju and Uchiha clans."

"All of these are the inherited power left behind by the Sage of Six Paths."

The Senju clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths...

Tsunade shook her head again in her heart.

She genuinely didn't believe in something that sounded so unbelievable.

But seeing that what the slug said seemed to make sense, and Tsunade couldn't find any evidence to refute it, she could only turn her attention to the man next to her.

"Nara, what do you think?"

"The Goddess of the Rabbit, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Sage of Six Paths' brother?"

Nara Rinka raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and gave his answer.

"A menopausal woman and her two unfilial sons."

Oh, and there's also a son who's in mourning...

Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth.

She had just thought that Nara Rinka would deny the existence of the Sage of Six Paths, just like she had.

To her surprise, the other party's reply was completely unexpected!

What the heck is "menopausal auntie"?!

What the hell is this "unfilial son" thing?!

"Please understand, Tsunade."

Nara Rinka noticed that Tsunade's expression was off and offered a comforting reassurance.

"Think carefully, where are we right now?"

"Since the Shikkotsu Forest exists, the Tailed Beasts exist, and there are extraordinary creatures like the Living Slug Sage, there are indeed such things in the world."

"Then why can't there be a Sage of Six Paths?"

"Of course, I have some doubts about the claim of the Living Slug Fairy."

"At least in my eyes, the Sage of Six Paths is definitely not a normal human being."

Is this the key point?

Tsunade's mood was not comforted in the slightest.

"Nara, the Sage of Six Paths is just a character in mythology; there are no gods in the world."

"No, Tsunade, you're wrong."

Nara Rinka said in a very serious tone.

"There are gods in the world."

"Or look at the Living Slug Immortal!"

Tsunade's expression froze for a moment.

Nara Rinkazu seemed unsatisfied and continued speaking.

"Furthermore, although the Sage of Six Paths is no longer in this world, perhaps his soul is quietly observing the changes in the ninja world over the years from within a layer of the world!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Ahem! Okay, let me put it another way."

Nara Rinka cleared his throat and, with a strong will to survive, spoke before the [Super Strength] attack came crashing down.

"You know King Mu, right? He's also known as the Five-Tailed King."

"Tailed Beasts are special creatures created by the Sage of Six Paths."

"You can verify this with King Mu."

"If you think King Mu's words are unbelievable, you can go to Isobu—well, that's the name of the Three-Tailed Fox, and there's also the Nine-Tailed Fox, or the Eight-Tailed Fox."

"If you ask these tailed beasts any questions about the Sage of Six Paths, they will all give you the same answer—the tailed beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths."

The credibility of Nara's account is significantly higher than that of the purely narrative story of the Living Slug Sage.

Tsunade frowned, her anger completely gone.

"The Sage of Six Paths created the Tailed Beasts? What method did he use? It couldn't have been Sage Mode, could it?"

"perhaps."

Nara spread his hands as he held the laurel tree.

"A more accurate term would be 'Immortal Technique: Yin-Yang Escape'."

According to Nara Rinka.

Since the Sage of Six Paths has already become an "immortal".

Moreover, he is not a "toad-shaped" hermit like those from Mount Myōboku.

Therefore, the chakra used by the Sage of Six Paths must be a higher level of "Sage Art Chakra".

It could even be some kind of more special "chakra" that is directly transformed from natural energy.

In this way...

The Yin-Yang Release technique used by the Sage of Six Paths when creating the Tailed Beasts is naturally a genuine "Sage Technique: Yin-Yang Release".

"Yin-Yang Escape?"

Tsunade looked bewildered.

She was proficient in Yang Dun (a form of escape technique) and knew about Yin Dun (another form of escape technique).

But this "Yin-Yang Escape"...

It was indeed beyond Tsunade's knowledge.

"What is that?"

"Yin Dun creates form from nothingness; Yang Dun bestows life upon form."

Nara Rinka explained calmly.

"So Yin-Yang Escape is to use Yin Escape to create form, and then use Yang Escape to give it life, creating a real life form from nothing."

Create life?

Is this really possible?

Or.

Can life be created using only ninjutsu and chakra, without relying on human genes... or anything like that?

Nara Rinka noticed Tsunade's confusion. He raised his hands, clasped them together, and assumed a hand seal posture.

"Would you like to see the Yin-Yang Release technique?"

"Clam?"

Tsunade's eyes widened again.

She had genuinely doubted that Nara's claim about pleasing the cassia tree was a hoax.

did not expect……

The opponent can actually unleash this special ninjutsu called "Yin Yang Release"?

"May I?"

Nara Rinkaku did not hesitate any longer, but silently formed hand seals.

Yin-Yang Escape.

The requirements for ninjas are extremely high.

Nara Rangsuke originally did not know Yin-Yang Escape.

But who told him to plunder Madara Uchiha's collection of many years?

Madara Uchiha can use Yin-Yang Release!

Under the watchful eyes of the Slug Sage and Tsunade.

Nara Rinkaku completed an extremely complex hand seal process.

Wait until the last handprint is formed.

Nara Rinka slammed his hands heavily onto the ground of Shikkotsu Forest.

A jet-black chakra suddenly surged from his palm.

The chakra surged on the ground, then slowly rose upwards, gradually transforming into a giant black hedgehog about the height of an adult's knee.

If Samehada were there, it would recognize that the black hedgehog looked remarkably similar to itself.

"Chirp chirp—"

As soon as the black hedgehog opened its eyes, it let out a rather shrill scream.

Under the watchful eyes of the other three.

The black hedgehog first trembled all over, then suddenly stopped moving, until finally—

boom!

The black hedgehog's body exploded, releasing a burst of black chakra into the air, which then dissipated into the air of the Shikkotsu Forest.

That's roughly how it went.

Nara Rinka watched the black hedgehog go from birth to death and said with great emotion.

"I infused my will into the body of this special creature and briefly created its life."

"But for some reason... it doesn't exist as long as a tailed beast."

"I suspect there's some crucial element missing, but unfortunately, I haven't found the answer yet..."

Tsunade keeps her eyes focused on her nose, and her nose reflects her inner thoughts.

Having witnessed the birth and death of the black hedgehog firsthand, she no longer doubted the existence of the Nara Rinkaku Society's [Yin-Yang Escape].

But the other party's problem...

Don't ask her!

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara Rinkachi naturally knew who he should ask.

Do you know why?

"Yes, Lord Nara, your Yin-Yang Release technique is already very advanced."

"The Living Slug Immortal said softly."

"I believe that the creature you just created simply lacks the ability to communicate with nature, which is why its lifespan is so short."
