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

Chapter 430 Have you ever seen a waterfall that falls from the sky?

"Huh???"

The Living Slug Sage uttered a questioning sound.

"Lord Nara, do you mean... you want to challenge me?"

Over the past thousands of years, the Living Slug Sage has encountered countless psychic contractors.

The vast majority of its contractors treat it with utmost respect and admiration, and almost never make any overstepping moves.

Only a small number of contractors, like Tsunade, would communicate with the Slug Sage on an equal footing, treating it as a pure summoning beast, without showing any other attitude because of its strength or status.

But someone like Nara Rinka, who outwardly calls himself the "Living Slug Sage," actually wants to challenge its contractor on their very first meeting—or rather, their second meeting...

Throughout the long life of the Living Slug Sage, he only encountered this one person.

A strong sense of novelty immediately filled the heart of the Living Slug Fairy.

"Yes, I do want to have a match with you."

Faced with the doubts of the Living Slug Immortal, Nara Rinka nodded and spoke frankly.

"I am well aware of the vastness of the world, and ninjas only occupy a small part of this continent."

"In this vast world, there are tailed beasts, immortals, and even legends like the Sage of Six Paths and the Divine Tree..."

"In the normal ninja world, I no longer feel much pressure."

"So now, I want to see the true power of the immortals of the holy land."

Nara Rinkei has always had a personal quirk of challenging strong opponents and farming secret scrolls.

The problem is that, as his strength continues to increase, the S-rank techniques that seemed incredibly powerful in the past now appear to be only so-so in terms of power and effect...

Moreover, Nara Rinkachi is now the fourth Hokage of Konoha, and has the right to view all kinds of advanced techniques collected by Konoha throughout history.

now.

Aside from a very few special abilities, ordinary S-rank ninjutsu no longer aroused Nara Rin's interest.

But the Living Slug Immortal is different.

If we were to have Nara Rinka build a power pyramid among the many strong ninjas in the ninja world...

The strongest, or even the only one in its class, is definitely Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Following closely behind are Hagoromo and Hamura, the two "filial sons." (Not considering the issue of Black Zetsu.)

Furthermore, let's set aside those who ascended to the Six Paths level during the Fourth Shinobi World War through various means (including but not limited to absorbing tailed beasts, installing Sage Eyes, and old men selling cheat codes).

In Nara Rinka's mind, if judged by the strength level on the panel, all of the above-mentioned characters should belong to the SSS level!

And the Living Slug Fairy of Shikkotsu Forest.

Although there are no particularly impressive achievements to speak of.

There are no special abilities that seem overwhelmingly powerful at first glance.

However, of the three holy sites, only the Wet Bone Forest is exclusively occupied by the Living Slug Immortal!

Take a look at the giant toad sage from Mount Myōboku next door...

The Great Toad Sage's chakra reserves were so vast and powerful that they even granted him the terrifying ability to foresee the future! (Book of the Toad)

One can only imagine how powerful the Living Slug Sage is...

SSS level, or Six Paths level.

The Living Slug Fairy probably doesn't qualify. (Or maybe she does.)

However, S-class is also known as Super Shadow-class.

Some of them are not worthy of the Living Slug Immortal's strength.

Nara Rinka predicts that the Living Slug Sage's strength level is at least SS-rank!

Facing such a formidable foe, who is also their own summoned beast.

How could Nara Rangsuke possibly pass up such a rare opportunity to plunder the other party's [Ninja Scrolls]?

If this battle can truly defeat the Living Slug Sage...

Nara Rinka might just be able to possess the first-ever SS-rank ability!

Cough!

As a person, you should still have dreams.

"OK!"

The live slug fairy twisted its body with a hint of excitement.

In its view, sparring with human ninjas was probably just like a pastime after a meal.

It won't take much effort.

But it can effectively relax your mind.

"Lord Nara, is there anything else I need to do now?"

The Living Slug Immortal gave some unknown command, and all the slugs in the entire Wet Bone Forest converged on this place at the same time.

"Would you like to take some time to rest?"

"No, no need..."

Nara Rinka's lips twitched slightly.

He seemed to have underestimated the Slug Sage's passion for battle.

Well known.

The slugs of Shikkotsu Forest appear to be endless, seemingly forming a complex race similar to that of Mount Myōboku.

But in reality...

The slugs in Shikkotsu Forest are all "smaller versions" split off from the Living Slug Sage.

These miniature slugs not only possess their own independent thinking abilities, but they can also share vision, transfer chakra, and exchange information with the Living Slug Sage's main body.

This ability looks familiar, doesn't it?

That's right!

The Sage of Six Paths' eyes, the basic ability of the Rinnegan, have a similar effect.

So, just how big is the fully formed Living Slug Sage?

In the current ninja world, no one should know the answer to this question.

After all, the Living Slug Sage has always lived in the Wet Bone Forest and has never gone out.

Those who leave the Wet Bone Forest are all "clones" summoned by the psychic contractors.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, there have been quite a few contracted successors of Shikkotsu Forest.

Even Tsunade, who comes from the Senju clan, was unable to summon the true form of the Living Slug Sage, even after exhausting all her chakra.

In the future Fourth Shinobi World War, Tsunade and Sakura Haruno joined forces and, while simultaneously unleashing the Hundred Healings Technique, summoned one-tenth of the true form of the Living Slug Sage.

But now.

Nara Ranke finally learned just how big the Living Slug Sage really was!

Under the silent gaze of Nara Rinka.

The Living Slug Immortal summoned all the slugs in the Wet Bone Forest in one go and absorbed them all into his body.

When outside, the Living Slug Immortal is timid and hesitant.

In the Wet Bone Forest, the Living Slug Immortal unleashes a powerful attack!

Nara Rinka watched as the Living Slug Sage's size grew from a few meters to over ten meters, then to tens of meters, eventually breaking into the triple digits...

At the end.

A terrifying behemoth, hundreds of meters long and standing upright with a height exceeding one hundred meters, descended upon the Wet Bone Forest.

"Nara-sama."

The Slug Fairy, now in its complete form, lowered its head and looked at the "little ants" on the ground.

"Can I make my move now?"

Not long ago, her voice sounded gentle and sweet, but now it seemed to have been amplified hundreds of times.

A terrifying sound wave descended from the sky, stirring up a strong wind on the ground of Shikkotsu Forest, causing Nara Rinka's eardrums to hum slightly.

"no problem--"

Nara Rinka shouted at the top of her lungs.

Without further hesitation, the live slug fairy moved its lips a few times, gathered the acid in its body, and sprayed it towards the Nara laurel below.

My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!

Nara Rangke has always adhered to one concept.

If, back in the Warring States period, Hashirama Senju had awakened not Wood Release, but any other bloodline limit.

Relying on the innate Chatonla.

Hashirama Senju could unleash terrifying effects from any bloodline limit.

just now.

Nara Rinka has never seen Hashirama Senju awaken his [Lava Release] technique.

But he felt as if he had seen a true immortal who had awakened the [Lava Release] technique!

The acidic liquid that gushed from the mouth of the Living Slug Immortal was vast and magnificent, like a hazy waterfall cascading down from the heavens, heading straight for Nara Rinka's forehead.

block?

Block my ass!
