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

Chapter 432 I'm just a ninja, I don't have the power of a sage...

Back when I first obtained the [Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill] weapon.

Nara Rinka once planned to combine the "Welcoming Thousand Hand Kill" with the "Shadow Transformation Technique".

【Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill】 consumes relatively little of one's own chakra, while also highly resonating with external natural energy, creating a Fire Temple version of "Bodhisattva Gundam" out of thin air.

If Nara Rinkei were to incorporate the core concept of "Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill" into his "Dark Warrior," he could very likely create a true "Sage Gundam."

Later, after Nara Rankei gradually collected a large amount of research experience and data on immortal techniques, coupled with his years of arduous research (shadow clone: ​​?), he finally succeeded in merging the two techniques together!

If Nara Rankei's "Black Warrior," created using the Yin Release chakra within the Yin Seal, can be considered "complete," then...

Therefore, at this moment, the [Sage Art: Black Warrior] created by Nara Rangatsu can be regarded as the genuine "ultimate form"!

A burly warrior, his entire body pitch black, stood on the ground of Shikkotsu Forest. His body, constructed from [Kai-jutsu] chakra, gleamed with a cold, hard, metallic sheen, while natural energy continuously converged upon him.

As the Living Slug Sage watched the second [Black Warrior] appear, his understanding of Nara Rinkei's strength deepened.

Having lived in Shikotsu Forest for so many years, it is extremely familiar with the natural energy of Shikotsu Forest.

With the Living Slug Immortal's sensory abilities, he could clearly sense the power of this second [Black Warrior].

Even disregarding the fact that the other party can draw on the natural energy of the outside world.

The sheer size of [Immortal Technique - Escape - Black Warrior] was enough to make the Living Slug Immortal take him seriously.

It can only be said that the visual and psychological experience of a Gundam that is tens of meters tall is completely different from that of a Gundam that is over 100 meters tall!

Although the size of [Sage Art: Escape: Black Warrior] is still not as large as that of the Living Slug Sage in its complete form.

However, its overall height is almost the same as that of the Living Slug Fairy!

The Living Slug Sage's true form is a slug. It can stand upright, but it cannot make the entire slug "stand" completely.

In other words, the Sage Gundam of Nara Rangsuke is comparable in height to half of the Slug Sage (complete form)!

The Living Slug Immortal was shocked by the enormous size of Nara Rinka (the Black Warrior).

Little did they know that Nara was equally overwhelmed with emotion at that moment.

After successfully combining [Welcome - Thousand Hands Kill] with [Black Warrior], he naturally tested the strength of this Sage Gundam himself.

However, in the past few surgical trials...

The size of the "Sage Gundam" has never been as huge as it is today!

Nara Rinka quickly racked his brains and pinpointed the cause.

"Shikkotsu Forest! What a terrifying reserve of natural energy..."

'Perhaps only a sacred place like Shikkotsu Forest, filled with natural energy, could create such a gigantic Sage Gundam?'

Shocking as it may be.

After a brief adjustment to the size and height of the [Sage Black Warrior], Nara Rangatsu immediately piloted the Sage Gundam and charged towards the opposing Slug Sage.

Being in the Wet Bone Forest, the "physical strength" of [Immortal Black Warrior] has been greatly improved.

However, in return, it also significantly increases its consumption of chakra!

In particular, what Nara Rinka released at this moment was not the Yin Release version of [Black Samurai], but the [Kai Release] version of Kekkei Genkai: Black Samurai!

【垲遁】is a new type of bloodline limit created by combining Yin Release and Earth Release.

The reserves of Yin Release chakra are still plentiful.

But Earth Release chakra...

Nara Rinka really doesn't want to be some kind of "three-minute superhero".

But now it seems that, given his chakra reserves, maintaining a Sage Gundam that's a hundred meters tall...

Three minutes might already be the limit!

It's too late to say.

【Black Knight】took heavy steps toward the location of the Living Slug Immortal, and at the same time swung his jet-black iron fist, which was as big as a giant millstone. The fist swung in the air, bringing with it a howling wind.

Enlarge the size to the 100-meter level.

Conventional ninjutsu, and even secret techniques, are no longer very effective...

The simplest punches and kicks can produce a terrifying output effect.

Seeing the Black Warrior, who was about the same size as it, approaching, the Living Slug Immortal did not immediately "transform into thousands" and disperse through the "Slug Great Split".

On the contrary.

The slug fairy twisted its body, and instead of retreating or dodging, it took the initiative to meet it.

boom!

It was accompanied by a dull, resounding crash.

The Black Knight slammed his fist into the Slug Immortal's massive, soft body. Waves of white flesh spread out from the point where the Black Knight's iron fist landed, reaching the rest of the Slug Immortal's body.

But what's quite strange is that...

Nara Rinka's fist clearly hit the Living Slug Sage.

But he had a feeling that the target of the Black Knight was not a creature, but a boundless ocean.

The rings of white waves emanating from the massive body of the Living Slug Immortal were like ripples on the sea, constantly deflecting the impact of the Black Warrior's attacks.

Nara Rinka felt as if she had hit a ball of cotton.

It can only be said that the Living Slug Immortal's training in "physical resistance to blows" has been very successful.

Before Nara Rinka could manipulate the [Black Warrior] to carry out the next move.

The Slug Fairy opened its seemingly cute but actually terrifying mouth and sprayed out a torrent of acid like a river at the nearby Black Warrior.

My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!

wow——

At such close range, the Black Knight had no chance to dodge and was drenched in the highly corrosive acid.

It can be compared to what just happened.

It's still lingual and dental mucosa.

But the [Black Knight] is no longer the [Black Knight] from before!

In terms of defense, [Kai-eun] is stronger than the regular Yin-eun.

Not to mention that the "raw materials" that make up the "Black Knight" at this time also contain an extremely large amount of natural energy!

The Living Slug's "tongue-tooth sticky acid" can corrode the earth and melt rocks.

However, the damage from this acid attack was slightly less than that of the Sage Gundam!

The Black Warrior was almost completely corroded by the edge attack of the sticky acid on its tongue and teeth.

At this moment, even though the Black Knight was hit head-on by the sticky acid from the tongue, only the outermost layer of his armor, the "Kai Dun," was corroded and melted. Overall, he did not suffer any major damage.

Nara was very pleased to receive the laurel blossoms.

Then he discovered that his chakra was about to run out.

The Slug Immortal was still full of energy and spat at the Dark Knight again.

This time.

Nara Rinka's chakra was finally running out...

The Sage Gundam, which had been so imposing for only a few minutes, turned into a ball of ghostly light and disintegrated into the air of the Wet Bone Forest.

Shadow Blade!

Nara Rinka uses a time-space travel technique to escape the attack range of the sticky acid from the tongue and teeth.

"That was quite an interesting competition!"

The Living Slug's tone was full of joy.

"Lord Nara, it seems I've won!"
