Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Great Katsuyu Sage
Swish!
Shishou's figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
At his previous location, Nagato stood expressionlessly on the Buddha's shoulder, surrounded by spinning Truth-Seeking Balls, pressing his hand on the Buddha and continuously absorbing the sage chakra within.
As Nagato absorbed the chakra, the Buddha's body began to collapse, eventually turning to ashes.
Seeing this, Shishou's mouth twitched.
Due to the Truth-Seeking Balls' indestructible nature, without knowing all of Nagato's abilities, he couldn't let him get close.
Nagato knew this and chose to engage in close combat, successfully neutralizing Shishou's Thousand-Armed Buddha.
It must be said, Nagato's decision to directly attack the Buddha's main body was indeed the best way to neutralize Shishou's technique.
"Shishou's Buddha was neutralized…" Tsunade and the others were shocked to see the Buddha vanish.
"Are the Truth-Seeking Balls that powerful?" Pakura asked Hyuga Rimei.
She could clearly see Shishou's extreme caution towards Nagato's Truth-Seeking Balls.
Hyuga Rimei nodded, "Truth-Seeking Balls can nullify all jutsu, only very potent sage techniques can counter them. Plus, Nagato can absorb Shishou's sage chakra, so it's quite troublesome."
If it were just the Truth-Seeking Balls, it would be manageable. The problem was that Nagato's Preta Path could absorb Shishou's sage chakra, making it quite a dilemma.
Hearing this, Tsunade said, "I wonder how Shishou plans to defeat Nagato."
Even though the current situation was disadvantageous for Shishou, Tsunade and the others still had absolute confidence in him.
On the battlefield.
"Dealing with Nagato feels more troublesome than dealing with the White Snake Sage. Indeed, no one at the Six Paths level is easy to handle."
Shishou sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
The White Snake Sage, despite his immense power and strong Inorganic Reincarnation technique, had a relatively simple combat style.
Nagato, with his versatile Six Paths abilities, had no weaknesses.
Jutsu was ineffective, sage techniques were absorbed, and the Truth-Seeking Balls were indestructible. These combined abilities made dealing with Nagato quite tricky.
Of course, although the Buddha was neutralized, Shishou now knew what level of sage chakra could withstand the Truth-Seeking Balls and what level could damage them.
"So this is the power of sage techniques?"
After absorbing the sage chakra from the Buddha, Nagato clenched his fist, feeling a strange energy coursing through him.
Shishou, hearing this, yawned, unimpressed.
This time, the sage chakra in the Buddha was not as abundant as when fighting the White Snake Sage, so Shishou didn't mind.
Shishou then called out, "Great Katsuyu, it's your turn."
Since he had already tested what he needed, Shishou decided not to hold back any longer.
"I understand."
The voice of the Great Katsuyu Sage rang out.
In the next second, a massive figure appeared at Shishou's feet.
"A mere summoning beast can't help you at all."
For Nagato, no matter how large a summoning beast was, it posed no threat.
"Is that so?"
"Originally, I didn't want to go all out, but since you're so confident, let me show you the power of the Three Great Sages of the ninja world."
Angered by Nagato's condescending tone, the Great Katsuyu Sage's aura surged.
Boom!
With a huge explosion of white smoke, the Great Katsuyu Sage's main body disappeared.
A vague young female figure emerged from the smoke.
"Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode, activate!"
In the next second, a vast amount of sage chakra exploded within the smoke.
Then, a female figure dressed in a dazzling blue and white chakra cloak, with a white chakra sash, floated out of the smoke.
She had crystalline white hair, a voluptuous figure, a high chest, and wore a white chakra mask, obscuring her face.
"The Great Katsuyu Sage..."
Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and the others were stunned by this transformation.
It was their first time seeing the Great Katsuyu Sage's human form. Mei Terumi, in particular, glanced back and forth between Tsunade and the sage.
The Great Katsuyu Sage's body curves were remarkably similar to Tsunade's.
Shishou looked the sage up and down and smiled, "Nagato's Truth-Seeking Balls are quite troublesome. Can you handle them?"
The Great Katsuyu Sage placed a hand on Shishou's shoulder, coating him in a chakra membrane. "Don't worry."
In the ninja world, the three Great Sage lands each had methods to deal with Truth-Seeking Balls.
"If that's the case, let's go."
Shishou finished speaking and quickly formed hand seals.
Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation, Diamond Armor!
After extensive study, Shishou could now use the White Snake Sage's diamond techniques, providing protection against the Truth-Seeking Balls.
In the next second, a pitch-black, fully enclosed samurai armor appeared around Shishou, encasing him completely.
Then, he took out the Kusanagi Sword from his storage scroll, holding it in his hand. The sword was imbued with a massive amount of sage chakra, turning it into a pitch-black blade.
With the sword in hand, Shishou flew towards Nagato in mid-air.
After his long training in Ryuchi Cave, he had mastered the floating and flying techniques related to the cave.
Nagato frowned and waved a hand, sending a Truth-Seeking Ball flying towards Shishou.
Clang!
With a swing of his black sword, Shishou deflected the incoming Truth-Seeking Ball.
Then, raising his left hand, two massive sage chakra-infused black wood dragons shot out, attacking Nagato.
Nagato raised a hand, transforming two Truth-Seeking Balls into black rods, blocking the wood dragons.
Simultaneously, the Great Katsuyu Sage formed a transparent liquid in her right palm, creating a water-colored sword and slashed at Nagato.
Nagato formed a protective shield with another Truth-Seeking Ball to defend.
Swish!
The Great Katsuyu Sage's water-colored sword left a water-colored mark on the Truth-Seeking Ball shield but caused no damage.
Seeing this, Nagato smirked.
In the next moment, his smirk froze, and he quickly retreated.
The water-colored mark on his Truth-Seeking Ball shield began to expand, corroding a hole several centimeters wide and long.
Seeing Nagato's shocked expression, the Great Katsuyu Sage said calmly, "The sword in my hand is formed from the purest Shikkotsu Forest sage chakra, capable of corroding even Truth-Seeking Balls."
With that, ten more water-colored swords formed in the sage's palm, surrounding her like a celestial swordsman, and she charged at Nagato.
