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

Chapter 431 [Immortal Arts - Black Warrior]!

I watched helplessly as the entire waterfall crashed down from the sky.

The feeling it evokes, whether it's physical or psychological stress, is exceptionally immense.

Nara Rinka felt a chill run from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.

His ninja instincts, honed over many years, told him—hide!

Get out of the attack range of the tongue and teeth sticky acid as quickly as possible!

Nara Rinka's mind raced, and he stomped heavily on the ground of Shikkotsu Forest, retreating rapidly backward.

At the same time, his shadow also emitted a supernatural fluctuation.

The Yin Release chakra accumulated in the Yin Seal was directly mobilized by Nara Rinka at this moment. A rather simple, pitch-black skeleton emerged from his shadow and enveloped his body, protecting him entirely.

This initial version of the rib-shaped "Black Warrior" was not the end of Nara Rangsuke's defenses at this time.

A continuous stream of Yin Release chakra flowed from the Yin Seal and was poured into the Black Warrior.

Suddenly, strands of muscle rapidly "grew" from the simple skeleton, then the full human form appeared, followed by a majestic and imposing set of dark armor covering the surface of the [Black Knight].

Nara Rinka was unleashing the full power of the [Black Samurai]!

Defense is on!

His defensive measures were implemented extremely quickly.

But the acid waterfall that came down from the sky was just as fast!

Almost immediately after Nara Raika withdrew from the core attack range of "tongue and teeth mucoagulase".

Then, the highly corrosive acid produced by "tongue-tooth sticky acid" came into contact with the top of the helmet of the "Black Knight".

zizi——

With a series of teeth-grinding crunching sounds.

The head of Nara Rinkaku's "Black Warrior" was instantly corroded by half of the Living Slug Sage's "tongue-tooth sticky acid".

Even more deadly is...

The Living Slug Sage's "Tongue and Teeth Sticky Acid" is not a concentrated single-point attack, but a sweeping ninjutsu with a super wide range!

The head of the Black Knight only "defended" a small portion of the corrosive acid.

A large amount of acid continued to fall downwards, pouring onto the surface of the Black Knight's body.

For a moment, terrifying "sizzling" sounds rang out incessantly.

In the ripple effect of "glossal mucoagulase".

Nara Rinka was unleashing his full power in his complete form, the [Black Warrior]. His size was shrinking at a visible rate, and his seemingly impenetrable chakra defense was rapidly crumbling under the attack of the highly corrosive acid.

Sensing the sudden and significant drop in chakra reserves within the [Yin Seal], Nara Rankei felt a chill run down his spine.

【Black Warrior】is one of Nara Rangsei's signature skills.

After several optimizations and upgrades, Nara Ranke is confident that the Black Warrior will not be inferior to the Uchiha clan's Susanoo, even if they encounter it.

Yet even this "Black Knight" almost couldn't withstand the first wave of attacks from the Living Slug Immortal?

Could it be that highly corrosive acid ninjutsu like [Lava Release] has some special effect against giant ninjutsu like [Susanoo]?

According to Nara Rinka, the Uchiha clan's Susanoo appears to be an invincible defensive ninjutsu.

However, in reality, after Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and mastered Susanoo, this massive ninjutsu was almost forcibly broken by Mei Terumi's Lava Release technique during their battle...

You should know that's Mei Terumi!

Mei Terumi is known as the "Shame of the Five Kage"!

Even so, Erzhuzi almost crashed...

This demonstrates the powerful attack effect of [Lava Escape].

of course.

The strength of Nara Rin's complete form, the Black Warrior, definitely surpasses that of Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo.

But what he's facing now isn't Mei Terumi, but the Living Slug Sage!

It can only be said that the defensive capabilities of the Black Warrior, which is not from Nara, are not strong.

The corrosiveness of the Living Slug Immortal's "tongue and teeth sticky acid" is simply too strong!

It is known that Mei Terumi's [Lava Release] bloodline limit originated from the Six-Tails Saiken.

But at this very moment.

Nara Rinka has every reason to suspect that the Living Slug Sage's "Tongue-Tooth Sticky Acid" has completely surpassed the Six-Tailed Saiken's [Lava Release] in terms of attack effectiveness!

"If I hadn't dodged to the edge of the acidic area in time, and instead insisted on standing at the core of this corrosive waterfall's attack, the chakra in the [Yin Seal] might have been completely depleted..."

Nara Rinka tenaciously held on to the battered and bruised Black Warrior, quickly retreating from the range of the sticky, acidic attack.

"But then again, without this encounter, it would have been very difficult to trigger the Living Slug Sage's quest!"

Nara Rinka glanced at the panel.

[SS-rank ninja battle mission detected!]

[SS-Rank Quest: The Living Slug Immortal]

[Quest Objective: Defeat/Kill the Living Slug Sage in Wet Bone Forest]

[Mission Reward: SS-Rank Ninja Scroll]

"The battle against the Living Slug Sage is indeed SS-rank!"

In other words, the Living Slug Sage's strength is also SS-rank!

"This level of strength even surpasses that of wild tailed beasts like King Koku and Matatabi!"

"I suppose even a wild Nine-Tails wouldn't be stronger than a fully-formed Slug Sage, right?"

Nara Rinkaku's mind was quite active at that moment.

He had completely abandoned his previous fantasy of "defeating the Living Slug Sage and reaching the pinnacle of life".

The opponent fired a basic attack.

They almost drained Nara Rankaku of one of his [Yin Seals].

Can we still fight like this?

Even if Nara Rinkachi were to successfully slide tackle the Living Slug Sage at this moment...

He couldn't beat his opponent.

Let's talk about a topic that's a bit heartbreaking.

The Living Slug Sage's other ninjutsu, "Slug Great Split," actually grants immunity to physical damage...

It seems that even the Living Slug Immortal didn't take this "duel" seriously.

After spitting out "tongue-tooth sticky acid," the live slug sage stood obediently in place, not launching a second attack, and allowed Nara Rinka to run out of the range of its previous ninjutsu attack.

"Lord Nara, your giant transformation ninjutsu is very powerful, just like the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan."

The Living Slug Fairy emitted a deafening sound.

"But it's just a little too small."

The complete form of Nara Rinka: Black Warrior.

Although it's not as tall as Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, which is as high as a mountain peak.

However, the overall height is also several tens of meters.

The Living Slug Sage's true form is several hundred meters long...

In the eyes of the current Living Slug Sage, Nara Rangatsu is roughly equivalent to an ant from a human perspective, while his [Black Warrior] is roughly equivalent to...

rabbit?

"The Living Slug Immortal"

Nara Rinka retreated to a corner of Shikkotsu Forest, where he rested briefly before refining his chakra and resonating with the vast natural energy within the forest.

"Then let's see this move..."

Under the observation of the Living Slug Fairy.

Nara Rinka took a deep breath and decisively released the [Kai-eun] chakra he had just refined.

A nearly 100-meter-tall, pitch-black giant rose from the ground.

The procedure information that pops up on the panel reveals the name of this new procedure.
