Chapter 507 Wood Release: Sage Mode!

Shikulin Forest.

Nara Rinka and Tsunade were summoned by the Slug Sage, who had returned earlier, using the Reverse Summoning Technique.

Feeling the chakra within him still in a state of perfection, Nara Rangsuke was in a very pleasant mood.

Although he could also come to Shikkotsu Forest using the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique.

However, that would consume one's own chakra, thus affecting the test results of [Sage Mode: Hashirama Senju].

Since we can get the Sage of Living Slug's chakra for free, how can we waste it?

Nara Rinka raised his eyes and looked at the Living Slug Sage opposite him.

At this time, most of the slugs in Shikkotsu Forest were summoned to this place.

Standing proudly opposite was a colossal creature several hundred meters long.

Clearly, having gained a general understanding of Nara Rinka's strength level after their last encounter, the Living Slug Sage now revealed its full form.

Based on the panel's strength rating, the current strength level of the Living Slug Immortal should be SS-level!

"Lord Lan Gui, are you ready?"

The Slug Fairy lowered its head, looking down at the two "little ants" on the ground, and its originally gentle and melodious voice became incredibly loud.

Tsunade gazed at the giant slug, equally shocked.

The last time she came to Shikkotsu Forest with Nara Rinka, she didn't witness the battle between the human and the immortal.

Therefore, it is unknown what level of opponent Nara Rinkei is facing now.

"Even if I used every last drop of chakra, I could never summon a fully-formed live slug!"

Tsunade gave Nara Ranke a "good luck" look and silently retreated to the side, trying to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.

She has extensive experience in controlling large summoned beasts in battle and knows what to do in this situation.

While waiting for Tsunade to retreat to a safe distance, Nara Ranke quietly performed a nature transformation of his chakra.

Under his control, the chakra within his body was continuously transformed into Wood Release chakra.

The Living Slug Sage could clearly sense that the natural energy permeating the entire Shikkotsu Forest was converging towards the direction of Nara Rangsuke.

Just then, Nara Ranka suddenly raised her head.

A jet-black circular symbol appeared between his eyebrows, with the center and outer ring being the same color. Large black eye markings also appeared around his eyes, extending from the corners of his eyes to the tips of his hair.

[Sage Mode - Hashirama Senju], activate!

Sensing the sudden surge of energy from Nara Rangsei, the Living Slug Sage opened its small mouth and spat.

But this small bite was only for the Living Slug Immortal.

For a normal human like Nara Rinka, the little bite from the Living Slug Sage was like a localized downpour in the Shikkotsu Forest.

Dark yellow viscous liquid fell from the sky, and the surrounding air crackled and popped as it was burned by the highly corrosive acid, immediately filling the wet bone forest with an extremely unpleasant odor.

My tongue and teeth feel sticky and acidic!

Nara Rinka raised his head, looked up at the acid rain falling from the sky, clapped his hands, and released a ninjutsu.

[Sage Art: Wood Release: Ranking Technique]!

With a roar, two wooden walls suddenly rose from the ground, closing inwards to form a giant demon mask covering the land of the Wet Bone Forest.

zizi——

The strong acid released by the sticky acid from the tongue and teeth washed over the demon mask formed by the [Ranking Technique].

The already powerful Wood Release technique, capable of defending against attacks from tailed beasts, is now amplified by Sage Chakra, making its defensive capabilities even more formidable.

The strong acid, capable of instantly corroding boulders, fell onto the wooden mask, but only eroded a thin layer of its surface, without causing any substantial or structural damage.

Nara Rinka, hidden beneath the [Ranking Technique], sensed the change above and felt instantly reassured.

"As expected! We have to use magic to counter magic!"

I remember the last time he sparred with the Living Slug Immortal.

The moment the Black Knight made his entrance, his entire head was nearly corroded by the sticky acid from his tongue and teeth.

Therefore, the [Sage Art: Black Knight] used later—that is, "Sage Gundam"—was able to barely withstand the attack.

This time, the [Sage Art: Wood Release: Ranking Technique] also withstood the attack of the sticky acid in the tongue and teeth.

"The chakra consumption of Sage Mode is barely acceptable."

Nara Rinka sensed the remaining Sage Chakra within his body and shook his head slightly.

His Yin Release chakra reserves are quite sufficient, but his regular chakra reserves seem somewhat lacking.

The chakra required for 【Sage Mode: Hashirama Senju】 is not Yin Release chakra, but regular chakra.

Overall.

Nara Rinka's current Sage Mode chakra level has exceeded his normal chakra level, but the difference is still limited.

The [Ranking Technique] is a high-consumption defensive technique with a power level as high as S.

Even though Nara Rinka is now in Sage Mode, he is unable to use multiple S-rank Wood Release ninjutsu.

That's the effect only a giant pillar's Chatonla can unleash; each S-rank ninjutsu seems to have no cost...

The last time Nara Langui sparred with the Living Slug Sage, it was a similar situation.

Nara Rinka's chakra was insufficient, and even after releasing [Sage Art: Kaze Release: Black Warrior], he couldn't last more than a few rounds.

"Give the remaining chakra to the Living Slug Sage for a big one!"

The Living Slug Sage's attack methods are somewhat limited.

After seeing that the tongue and teeth sticky acid could not break through the defense of the [Ranking Technique], it also gave up the idea of ​​attacking again and just waited for Nara Rinka's next move.

Just then, the Living Slug Immortal suddenly felt an extremely violent tremor occurring in the ground of the Wet Bone Forest, as if an unprecedented earthquake had suddenly erupted there.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this...?"

The Living Slug Fairy was greatly shocked.

A powerful beauty, far surpassing the previous [Sage Art: Wood Release: Ranking Technique], emanated from the other side.

Nara Rinka, who had emerged from the wooden demon mask at some unknown time, was now standing on the mask.

He clasped his hands together and poured all the Sage Chakra within him into the earth below.

Rumble!!

The earth of the Wet Bone Forest trembled violently.

A colossal wooden statue burst forth from the depths of the earth, standing proudly on the land of the Damp Bone Forest, exuding an aura of unparalleled power.

What's even more eye-catching are the countless wooden arms behind the wooden figure.

[Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands]!

Under normal circumstances.

The Living Slug Sage doesn't really care about the size or height of its opponent.

Because no matter how big the other party is, it's not as big as it.

Whether it's the toad pills of Mount Myoboku or the white snake of Ryuchi Cave.

When it comes to physique, the Living Slug Sage is number one in the ninja world!

But at this very moment.

The Living Slug Sage looked at the thousand-armed wooden figure in front of him, which was larger and more imposing than his own complete form.

For the first time in his life, he uttered an incredibly astonishing evaluation.

"Wow! Lord Lan Gui is so big..."

Nara Rinka, standing atop the "True Thousand Hands," had just emerged from his "dark circles" state when he heard the Living Slug Sage's deafening evaluation, causing his lips to twitch slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that Sage Chakra was already depleted.

He absolutely has to teach the Living Slug Sage to speak properly today!

"Nara, you slugs, stop fighting!"

Tsunade's loud voice echoed through Shikkotsu Forest.

"If the fighting continues, the Holy Land will be destroyed—"

Third update.

There are still 45 updates to be added.

……

The update time is past 1 a.m. again, which is really disheartening.
