Bab 252: Chapter 252: The Little Slug Immune to Physical Attacks
"They're very strong, of course!"
"After all, they are descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and they possess the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Ninjutsu is limited against them; only Senjutsu can be effective."
"So this time, you'll be the main fighter, and I'll assist."
Standing on top of the Great Slug Sage, Shishou spoke.
Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri, with their Truth-Seeking Orbs, were a devastating force against those without Six Paths power. This made Shishou, who temporarily lacked such power, wary of engaging in close combat like Naruto did in the later stages.
Thus, he had to rely on the Great Slug Sage, who possessed vast amounts of Senjutsu chakra, as the main combatant.
Any other giant summoned beast, no matter how powerful its Senjutsu chakra, would be no match for the Ōtsutsuki duo wielding Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. However, the Great Slug Sage, with its splitting ability, was different.
Moreover, the Great Slug Sage had now gained the ability for a massive clone explosion, providing it with formidable offensive capabilities.
"Descendants of Hamura and the Truth-Seeking Orbs, huh."
"No wonder you're having such trouble, asking me for help."
The Great Slug Sage grumbled, clearly displeased.
She had just been comfortably lounging in the Shikkotsu Forest, watching Mei Terumi train, only to be suddenly summoned here and slashed. Naturally, she was quite upset.
After all, she was the Great Slug Sage of the ninja world, and she had some temper.
On the other side, Ōtsutsuki Toneri frowned at the now unified Great Slug Sage and extended his right hand.
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
A tornado capable of piercing mountains shot towards the Great Slug Sage, creating a massive hole in her body.
However, Ōtsutsuki Toneri didn't celebrate.
The Great Slug Sage's body began healing, and the parts blown away by the tornado turned into smaller slugs, swarming back to her main body.
The high-powered slashes of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion were ineffective, and now even the wide-area damage of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was useless.
The splitting ability of the Great Slug Sage was giving Ōtsutsuki Toneri a headache.
"I'll see how many times you can heal," Ōtsutsuki Jinin snarled, determined, his face contorted.
He swung his twin golden light swords repeatedly, sending massive slashes towards the Great Slug Sage.
The Great Slug Sage's body was once again cut into several pieces, which then transformed into slugs of various sizes.
Some of these slugs were as large as mountains, while the smallest were still a hundred meters tall.
Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri couldn't help but twitch their lips at the sight.
"Physical attacks are ineffective against the little slugs."
Seeing their expressions, Shishou chuckled. "Alright, it's our turn to counterattack."
Sage Art: Sticky Acid!
Several of the Great Slug Sage's clones simultaneously spewed a large amount of corrosive liquid, infused with Senjutsu energy, at the Ōtsutsuki duo.
Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri frowned as a Truth-Seeking Orb behind them formed a spherical shield, blocking the acid attack.
Simultaneously, they ascended higher into the sky, out of the Great Slug Sage's attack range.
Sizzle!
The acid hit the lunar surface, corroding it and emitting thick fumes.
The Great Slug Sage glanced at the airborne Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri and said, "They're flying too high; I can't reach them."
Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri were now a kilometer above the lunar surface, beyond the Great Slug Sage's attack range.
"Don't worry, dragging this out works in our favor."
Shishou, watching the two in the sky, smiled.
He knew that the Tenseigan Chakra Mode of the Ōtsutsuki duo wouldn't last long. The longer the battle dragged on, the more advantageous it was for him.
"Father, this isn't working."
Ōtsutsuki Toneri frowned, looking at Shishou below.
"Toneri, check the surroundings for any more of his teleportation marks. I'll deal with him."
"If we hit him once, we can kill him."
Ōtsutsuki Jinin looked at Shishou, his expression unreadable.
Then, holding his twin light swords, he charged towards Shishou.
He had realized that Shishou didn't dare engage in close combat.
"I understand, Father."
Ōtsutsuki Toneri nodded, using his Byakugan to quickly scan for any of Shishou's Flying Thunder God marks.
"Heh, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing Jinin charging at him, Shishou grinned.
"Little Slug, lend me some of your Senjutsu chakra."
"Got it."
In the next second, an endless stream of Senjutsu chakra flowed from the Great Slug Sage into Shishou.
Feeling the continuous influx of Senjutsu energy, Shishou's Mangekyō Sharingan began to spin.
Sage Art: Complete Susanoo!
In an instant, the skeletal structure of Susanoo appeared around Shishou.
Bones, flesh, tendons, armor...
Soon, a massive, fully-formed Susanoo, filled with Senjutsu energy and radiating a dark light like a king of hell, stood atop the Great Slug Sage.
Sage Art: Superheated Rasengan!
In Susanoo's right hand, a massive superheated Rasengan formed, which Shishou hurled at the charging Ōtsutsuki Jinin.
Next, Shishou left a Flying Thunder God mark on the Great Slug Sage and directed Susanoo to fly towards Jinin.
He needed to test if a Susanoo infused with Senjutsu energy could withstand the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
"Hmph!"
Ōtsutsuki Jinin snorted, swinging his golden light sword, splitting Shishou's massive Rasengan in half.
Crack!
The golden light sword continued its trajectory, slashing Susanoo, shattering its Senjutsu armor and leaving a massive wound from the left shoulder to the abdomen, nearly cleaving it in two.
"There's hope!"
Shishou, always ready to use the Flying Thunder God to escape, felt a surge of joy seeing Susanoo nearly bisected.
Although his Susanoo couldn't completely defend against Jinin's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, it wasn't as fragile as before.
This indicated that Senjutsu energy could indeed counter the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
The reason Susanoo was shattered earlier by Toneri's Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was likely due to insufficient Senjutsu energy.
In other words, the more Senjutsu energy he infused into Susanoo, the stronger its defense against the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
As Shishou pondered this, Ōtsutsuki Jinin's twin swords slashed repeatedly, cutting Susanoo into pieces.
The next second, Shishou reappeared on the Great Slug Sage, watching the dismembered Susanoo and the approaching Jinin, and sighed.
"I didn't want to use this cheap trick, but you forced me."
With that, Shishou crossed his index and middle fingers in front of him.
