Chapter 427 Live Slug: Lord Nara, your chakra reserves are too low.

Chapter 427 Live Slug: Lord Nara, your chakra reserves are too low...

You've definitely asked the right person—

Do not!

You've asked the right slug!

Seeing that the Living Slug Sage gave such a swift answer, Nara Rinka felt a surge of joy.

What is professionalism?

That's what you call professional!

In fact.

The answer given by the Living Slug Sage was not beyond Nara Rinka's expectations.

Or.

Nara Rinka's own research results were consistent with the judgment of the Living Slug Immortal.

The chakra life forms he created lacked the ability to communicate with nature.

To be precise.

This "black hedgehog" lacks the ability to absorb natural energy and then convert it into its own power!

Although Nara Rinkei hadn't been exposed to Yin-Yang Release for too long, the Yin-Yang Release techniques he possessed weren't anything particularly advanced.

After all, Madara Uchiha's Yin-Yang Release is similar to the Yin-Yang Release of the Sage of Six Paths.

The difference between these two is roughly equivalent to the distance between "the birth of the Tree Realm" and "the birth of the God-Tree Realm".

Kaguya Otsutsuki used Yin-Yang Release to create Black Zetsu, who could deliver a single, powerful blow that pierced Madara Uchiha's heart.

The Sage of Six Paths can create immortal tailed beasts through the Yin-Yang Release technique, which can even revive periodically.

However, the creatures Madara Uchiha created using Yin-Yang Release were just dark lumps of mud...

Nara Rinka's current level of Yin-Yang Release is even inferior to that of Uchiha Madara; he can only create these short-lived black hedgehogs, which is still "borrowed" from some characteristics of the Greatsword Samehada.

but.

Even if Nara Rinka's skill level is not high enough.

But who told him to know the "correct answer" beforehand?

In the ninja world, there are only a handful of truly high-level forces.

Even fewer can be connected with [Yin Yang Escape].

Unfortunately.

The white deer of Nara Rangsuke is one of them.

All you need to do is refer to the ability information of both the Five-Tailed King Kokuo and the "Black Hedgehog".

Nara Rinkazu could easily discover what caused the "black hedgehog's" defect.

The Five-Tails Kokuo was formed from the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths (more accurately, the chakra of the Ten-Tails and the God Tree).

The black hedgehog was formed from the chakra of Nara Rinkei.

The Five-Tailed King Kokuo can sense and manipulate the power of nature.

However, for the black hedgehog to survive, it can only consume the chakra that Nara Rinka used to create it.

The latter's life is like water without a source, or a tree without roots.

It was destined not to last.

The solution to this problem is quite simple.

Otherwise, Nara Rinka would supply this black hedgehog with chakra around the clock.

Or perhaps we could find a completely new source of energy for this black hedgehog.

And the source of this energy is, of course, natural energy!

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara Lan Gui then asked.

"Do you know how to solve this problem?"

The black hedgehog we just saw was a special creature created by Nara Rankei's chakra through the Yin-Yang Release technique.

If the Living Slug Fairy can solve the problem of "the black hedgehog's stable communication with natural energy"...

That means the Living Slug Sage can help solve one of Nara Rangatsu's biggest research problems right now—

Sage Mode in its normal state!

Amidst anticipation for the Nara Osmanthus Festival, the Living Slug Sage slowly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Nara-sama, I cannot give you a definite answer to this question immediately."

"The Living Slug Immortal spoke slowly."

"The chakra creature you just created using Yin-Yang Release was originally transformed from your chakra; it was simply given an extremely short lifespan by you."

"If you want to solve the problem of communication between it and the natural world, you need to make the chakra that makes it up—that is, your chakra—resonate with the energy of nature."

"The most important point is that this resonance cannot be maintained in the short term; it needs to be maintained in a long and stable manner, just like the tailed beasts."

The answer given by the Living Slug Sage was basically the same as what Nara Rinka had just thought.

The only difference is...

It was the Living Slug Immortal who mentioned a certain concept.

"Resonating with the energy of nature..."

Nara Rinka took a deep breath, raised his left palm in front of his chest, and then placed his right palm three inches below his navel, striking a very unique pose.

"In fact, I can do this kind of thing."

"This is a special inherited ability from the Ninja Temple of the Land of Fire."

[Come to welcome·Thousand-hand killing]!

Nara Rinkazu's eyes narrowed as he resonated his own chakra with the chakra in Shikkotsu Forest, causing a very special change in the shape of the void behind him.

Under normal circumstances, the height of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva created by Nara Rangsuke's [Welcoming Thousand-Armed Kill] technique is generally around five meters.

But at this moment, they are in the Shikubane Forest.

Perhaps the natural energy in Shikkotsu Forest is too abundant.

This caused a slight change in Nara Rinka's "Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill".

A huge golden statue, several meters tall, appeared in the void behind Nara Rangsei.

A lifelike Bodhisattva, smiling with fingers clasped in a gesture of respect, rests on a lotus throne. Countless golden arms appear behind the Bodhisattva, greatly expanding the visual width of this thousand-armed Bodhisattva and inspiring awe in those who behold it.

Tsunade stared in shock at Nara Rinka and the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva behind him.

She had seen Nara Rinka use this ninjutsu before.

But this is the first time I've seen Nara Rinka's ninjutsu this powerful...

This giant, with its size and height, has already surpassed the Tailed Beasts!

"That's an incredibly sophisticated ninjutsu, Lord Nara."

Standing in front of the [Welcome - Thousand Hands Kill], the Living Slug Immortal gave a heartfelt praise.

"Human wisdom is truly not to be underestimated."

Even though Nara Rinka's [Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill] was already more powerful than the little slug fairy in front of him.

However, the little fairy's mindset remained unchanged.

Nara Rinka let out a breath, controlling the chakra within her body to calm it down.

As he moved, the enormous Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva behind him also quickly disappeared into thin air.

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara asked.

"Do you think that ninjutsu you just used will help resolve the previous problem?"

In the research project "Resonating with Natural Energy", Nara Rangsei's achievements are certainly not limited to "Welcoming Thousand Hand Kill".

Not long ago, he had already integrated the core effect of [Welcome - Thousand Hands Kill] into another technique, but he hadn't yet used it in front of anyone else...

"I think there's no problem with the specific effects, but the duration is a big problem."

The Living Slug Immortal pondered for a moment and answered bluntly.

"Lord Nara, you currently have far too little chakra."

"I can clearly sense that your chakra level has decreased significantly after you released that ninjutsu that was similar to a Sage Mode technique."

Nara Ranka's lips twitched slightly.

Within the realm of "ninjas," his chakra reserves are already substantial, even exceptional.

But who made that assessment when it was a live slug?

Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara Rinka adjusted her approach and steered the conversation back to the original question.

"Do you think the dragon veins of Loulan can solve my problem of insufficient chakra?"

Nara's idea of taking on the laurel tree was very simple.
