Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Hell Kannon
"I never thought that after living for thousands of years and consuming countless humans, there would come a day when I would be surrounded and attacked by humans," remarked the White Snake Sage.
Shishou had no intention of responding to the White Snake Sage's lament. Likewise, Tsunade and the others showed no interest in chatting with the White Snake Sage. They stood beside Shishou, their faces expressionless as they watched the Sage.
The White Snake Sage's power was terrifying, her sage energy vast and formidable. Even though they had two Six Paths-level warriors capable of creating Truth-Seeking Balls on their side, they still lacked absolute confidence in victory.
After her lament, the White Snake Sage looked at Shishou and the others, her voice cold: "Do you think you can defeat me with sheer numbers? That's nothing but a foolish dream!"
"I'll show you what true Sage power is."
With that, the White Snake Sage rapidly formed hand seals, chanting in a low voice.
"Birth in the Cave of Nothingness, sowing cause and effect." "In the Dragon Snake Mountain, a hidden dragon lies." "Attaining the path in a hundred years, becoming a Sage in a thousand." "I am the Sage, and the Sage is me!" "..."
Hyuga Rimei and Kushina, seeing this, extended the length of their Golden Wheel Reincarnation Swords and thrust them toward the White Snake Sage, only to be blocked by two Vajra Serpent Servants.
Witnessing this, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and the others frowned slightly.
They had seen the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion before, yet now the White Snake Sage's servants could easily block it. This further demonstrated the terrifying strength of the White Snake Sage, enhancing their motivation to train in Sage Jutsu.
Because this also meant that mastering Sage Jutsu to its extreme could indeed counter Six Paths-level individuals with Truth-Seeking Balls!
In the next moment, the White Snake Sage finished her hand seals.
"Sage Art: Organic Reincarnation: Myriad Serpent Sage Group!"
Boom!!!
A massive surge of chakra erupted from the White Snake Sage, penetrating deep into the ground.
Rumble~
The earth trembled, and everything affected by the White Snake Sage's chakra, be it trees, rocks, or soil, transformed into giant serpents with horns on their heads and wings on their backs.
These serpents opened their eyes, coiling around the White Snake Sage, moving wildly in celebration of their newfound life.
Moreover, wherever these serpents passed, they would transform the surrounding vegetation and rocks into more serpents, rapidly increasing their numbers.
Seeing this mass conversion, Rimei, Kushina, and the others were stunned.
This use of Sage Jutsu exceeded their understanding.
"This is bad; we are also at risk of being transformed!" Tsunade exclaimed, seeing the advancing serpent horde and the scales beginning to appear on her own body.
"Mei!"
Suddenly, Rimei cried out, drawing everyone's attention.
They saw Uchiha Mikoto's Sixth Form Susano'o starting to distort and transform into a serpent.
Shishou appeared behind Mikoto and Priestess Miroku, taking them away and returning to their original position.
As Mikoto left, her Susano'o transformed into a half-human, half-serpent creature, even removing its helmet to flick its forked tongue at Shishou and the others.
Mikoto's Susano'o had been transformed by the White Snake Sage and had gained a semblance of intelligence.
"The White Snake Sage's technique is formidable; be careful," Mikoto said, anger and shame evident on her face as scales began to appear on her body.
She was angry because, although she retained the ability to activate Susano'o, this transformed Susano'o was clearly beyond her control.
She was ashamed because the Susano'o serpent bore her likeness.
This meant that even with her mask, her identity was now exposed to the others...
Plus, Rimei's earlier shout had practically announced her identity.
'So she is Uchiha Mikoto!!!'
Tsunade glanced at Mikoto, her expression complicated.
She had wondered where Shishou had found a woman capable of activating Susano'o.
And now, it turned out to be the supposedly deceased wife of the Uchiha clan leader.
This was a real 'surprise.'
But now wasn't the time for such thoughts, so Tsunade quickly glanced away without saying more.
'Strangely, Mikoto actually looks quite good in her serpent form,'
Shishou thought to himself, looking at the distant Susano'o serpent.
Then, seeing scales appearing on the others, he said:
"The serpent transformation is due to the White Snake Sage's chakra. You just need to expel that chakra from your body and use sage energy to shield yourselves."
He had quickly figured out the cause of their transformation using his Jofuku bugs, so he promptly found a solution.
"In that case, let's kill all these serpents," Yugito Nii suggested.
"No need; I'll handle the White Snake Sage myself," Shishou replied, rejecting the idea. He then created several shadow clones.
"Are you sure?" Rimei asked, looking at Shishou.
Shishou smiled, "Of course!"
He had already absorbed a significant amount of natural energy from Ryuchi Cave; it was time to act.
And given the White Snake Sage's formidable power, he needed to keep Tsunade and the others as backup.
Seeing Shishou's determination, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and the others didn't object and were taken away by Shishou's clones.
Also taken were Konan and the three snake princesses who had been observing from a high vantage point.
Then,
Shishou's energy-absorbing shadow clones dispersed, and the vast amount of sage energy gathered within him.
Feeling the immense energy within, Shishou looked at the White Snake Sage several hundred meters away, clapped his hands, and released his sage chakra to its peak, creating explosive waves of energy.
Then, he shouted:
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!!"
Boom!
With Shishou's shout, a massive Kannon statue rose, towering into the clouds.
Behind the Kannon statue were thousands of giant wooden hands.
However, Shishou knew.
True Several Thousand Hands alone couldn't contend with the Six Paths-level White Snake Sage and her Organic Reincarnation-created serpent horde.
So, Shishou's Sharingan spun rapidly, and a translucent Susano'o armor appeared over the wooden Kannon statue, covering even the thousands of giant wooden hands—a true
—Susano'o-clad Buddha!
But that still wasn't enough!
After adding the Susano'o armor, Shishou infused more sage energy into the Buddha statue, further enhancing its offensive and defensive power.
As the immense sage energy poured in, the Buddha statue's color changed to pitch black.
Like a Kannon possessed by a demon, it took on the appearance of a Hell King, becoming
—Hell Kannon!!!
"Heh, interesting,"
The White Snake Sage remarked, forming more hand seals.
With the completion of her seals, countless giant serpents around her surged towards Shishou.
Meanwhile, five chakra sage serpents behind the White Snake Sage descended, biting into the ground and rapidly absorbing the natural energy around Ryuchi Cave.
As the natural energy was drained, the ground around Ryuchi Cave quickly became desolate, lifeless.
Facing the oncoming serpent horde, Shishou changed his hand seals.
—Top Transformed Buddha!!!
