The slug, a creature that has survived for over a thousand years since the era of Kaguya, is nothing more than a giant snail.
Just how large is it, exactly? Tsunade and Sakura can only summon a small part of its body every time.
And even that part is minuscule.
Even now, Kyōsuke might not be able to break through the limitations of space-time to summon a creature as large as an asteroid.
When it comes to combat prowess, it is far inferior to the toads and snakes. The true strength of the slug lies in its healing abilities.
No, to be more precise, it can magnify the characteristics of its summoner.
Even from thousands of miles away, the slug's clones can accurately transmit the summoner's chakra, forming healing, attack, and defense, among other effects.
In Kyōsuke's opinion, if one doesn't consider the end result, the practicality of the great slug is far superior to that of the Ten Tails.
Only it has the ability to spread across various planets, continuously absorbing the natural energy required by the Six Paths from the earth and plants.
Bending down, he grabbed a small slug that was attempting to escape. Placing it in his palm, Kyōsuke smiled and studied it closely. "Well, it's actually kind of cute."
The poor little creature's eyes widened in fear and almost had a heart attack.
"Oh no, I'm going to be eaten~" The little slug immediately wilted.
Humans are terrifying, especially those with red eyes.
It remembered its former summoner, who had been kind and gentle, with a temperament that seemed much more approachable.
This little slug was the same one that had guided Hashirama into the Shikkotsu Forest, leading him to the nest.
To protect the secrets of the Six Paths, when the great slug divided into individual clones, it would intentionally sever their memories.
It was not a sealing process, but rather a complete memory cut-off. At least with the Rinnegan, Kyōsuke could only see the day this small slug split from the main body.
Anything before that was lost.
"Little one, how about coming with me outside?" he asked, smiling.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the little slug immediately straightened its body, and the white tentacle on its forehead wiggled, looking exceedingly adorable. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Clearly, it was intrigued.
"Then it's decided." Kyōsuke sealed off its senses with a sealing technique, opened a spatial portal, and sent it directly to Yayoi's laboratory.
From this day forward, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Great Slug would likely vanish completely from the shinobi world.
It would be such a waste to discard such a useful auxiliary tool. Kyōsuke wondered if it might be possible to replicate and recreate it.
After all, the little slug had no real connection to the main body, so he could use it as a model to create a new Slug Sage for Konoha.
The ability to transmit chakra freely would definitely be a great help in the future.
Not to mention, the little slug could at least be used as a locator.
Without it, one could easily get lost in the vast universe and never find their way back.
Feeling quite satisfied with his harvest, Kyōsuke smiled and looked up at the enormous figure that overshadowed everything.
"At this height, it's definitely taller than both the True Several Thousand Hands and the complete Ten-Tails, right?" he remarked with a hint of awe.
The slug had split into thousands of bodies, and who knew where it had left seeds for revival on which planet.
It would be nothing short of a fantasy to try and wipe it out completely. All Kyōsuke could do was ensure that the Ten-Tails was well-fed.
If he could help it consume the Chakra Fruit and reach a higher level of the Six Paths, that would be enough.
At that point, Kyōsuke could leave without worry, traveling to a planet where life flourished and igniting the Divine Fire that would reawaken his mortal body.
"Human, what brings you to my Shikkotsu Forest?" asked the Great Slug Sage.
In contrast to the soft and adorable clones, its true form exuded an air of dignity, possessing the traditional sage-like aura.
Kyōsuke glanced down at the Ten Tails, whose drool was practically dripping onto the ground, and replied with a smile, "What do you think I'm here for?"
"Be sensible and lie down obediently. Otherwise, when the Ten-Tails gets angry, you won't have a good time."
Kyosuke spoke with the typical arrogance of a wealthy young master, while the Ten-Tails beneath him let out a furious roar, as if to say, "If you don't behave, I'm coming up there to give you a proper beating."
As one of the three great sages, the Slug Sage embodied the grace and demeanor of a refined and elegant young lady. Naturally, she refused to submit and held her ground with pride.
It would rather die than submit. The idea of such a terrifying and grotesque creature climbing on top of her and latching on to suck away at her body was utterly revolting. Such a thing was beyond imagination—unless the Ten-Tails happened to be extremely rich.
Wait, no. That was not quite right. The only way she would ever submit was if she were already dead.
"I, the Great Slug Sage, would rather die than yield!"
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the lifeless protein that no longer carried any life force, the Ten Tails let out a final roar and began to feast on this sumptuous meal.
The slug's auxiliary abilities were far stronger than the combined powers of the toads and the snakes.
In contrast, its direct combat strength was virtually nonexistent.
Simply piling up chakra might be useful for intimidating small creatures, but against Kyōsuke, it was completely insufficient.
At least the chakra didn't exert enough pressure to crush him, meaning it had no resistance against him.
Had he not been curious about the slug's methods, the battle would have been over in less than ten minutes.
As for the spoils of battle, aside from the satisfying feast of protein, there were no points awarded at all.
The reason was simple. What Kyōsuke had killed was still just a clone of the slug, albeit a relatively large one.
Since he had not completely annihilated the main body, the system did not grant him any points as a reward.
"Never mind, one can't be too greedy. I couldn't possibly bring myself to kill the little slug, right?"
The battle lasted only ten minutes, but the Ten Tails spent a whole day and night to finish this meal.
During this time, Kyōsuke set up a campfire not far away. The scene made him realize how hungry he was as well.
Both Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest were home to the most primitive ecosystems, and nearly everything edible could be found here.
The lush greenery reminded Kyōsuke of the flourishing dense forests in the Land of Fire.
While he ate, he suddenly noticed a faint spatial disturbance from a distance.
Before he could investigate, the intruder appeared by the campfire in a flash.
"Wait, I'm the one doing the invading," Kyōsuke quietly corrected himself.
As for the person standing before him, it was none other than Otsutsuki Hamura, whom he had once encountered on the moon.
He was the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, and the son of Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Thinking about it, with Kyōsuke's relationship with his mother, it probably wouldn't be too inappropriate to call him 'nephew,' right?
The last time they met, he and Kaguya had fully confirmed their relationship.
From now on, they would work together to face any threats brought by the Otsutsuki clan.
Kyōsuke solemnly vowed that he would do everything in his power to ensure her safety. In return, Kaguya gave her word that during his absence, she would protect Konoha and their family.
She was already well acquainted with Mito. While the former was immersed in the delicacies prepared by the bun-haired princess, the latter had been deeply moved by the anti-aging technique Kaguya had gifted her.
After all, without it, there was no way Mito could have remained so youthful and charming at nearly fifty years old.
Fortunately, Kyōsuke had the constitution of the Six Paths, or else who could possibly endure the constant nighttime demands of a Kage-level powerhouse?
Hamura sat down by the fire and said expressionlessly, "This is not our first meeting."
"Yes, it's not."
"Why did you attack the Shikkotsu Forest?"
"Come on, can we have a deeper conversation?" Kyōsuke replied with a smile.
Taking a deep breath, Otsutsuki Hakamura spoke slowly, "Are you going to be enemies with us two brothers?"
"Ha." Upon hearing these words, Kyōsuke immediately laughed, "I vaguely remember that someone tried to attack the village I established while I was away."
"Are you saying that only your Shinobi Sect can cause chaos, and I can't retaliate? There's no such rule in this world."
"That was a misunderstanding." Hamura shook his head, clearly unwilling to continue on that topic. "Now that the Otsutsuki clan's threat is upon us, the shinobi world should unite and face it together."
"Alright," Kyōsuke nodded in agreement. "I can overlook the mistakes of you two brothers. Now, disband the Shinobi Sect, and help me take control of the four great nations, and you can join the highest decision-making body of Konoha."
"You're being unreasonable!" Hamura was furious. He felt that the man before him was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Taking a deep breath, the son of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki issued his ultimatum. "If Konoha merges with the Shinobi Sect, I can guarantee the safety of your family and friends. Otherwise, you will be a stumbling block to the development of the shinobi world."
Ah, how skilled you are at placing the blame on others.
Kyōsuke turned to look at the shameless face in front of him, and suddenly, a brilliant smile blossomed at the corner of his mouth.
In the very next instant, several black rods shot forth, piercing the enemy without warning.
"Such a pity." The ambush was successful, but it was not hard to see the regret in Kyōsuke's eyes.
He had hoped to use this opportunity to land a decisive blow with Isshiki's dōjutsu—not necessarily to kill Hamura on the spot, but at least to inflict serious damage.
However, he had not expected the Otsutsuki bloodline inherited from Kaguya's original Byakugan to be so remarkable. It had actually foreseen his attack.
Combined with the instincts of a Six Paths level powerhouse of the enemy, striking the brain or heart might have seemed simple, but in reality, it was anything but easy.
Otherwise, in the original story, Isshiki wouldn't have ended up being pushed to death by Naruto and Sasuke.
Having experienced it firsthand, Kyōsuke knew exactly how to handle the formidable Sukunahikona.
Seeing that the surprise attack had failed, he gave up on trying to sneak strikes and decided to directly overpower Hamura with his raw strength.
It had been a long time since Kyōsuke had been anything other than the one delivering threats. Yet now, someone had dared to speak so boldly in front of him.
If he did not kill Hamura today, people might actually begin to think that Uchiha Kyōsuke had become a saint.
Nine Truth-Seeking Balls appeared in the air. Senjutsu chakra rapidly gathered within his body, and in an instant, Kyōsuke entered his optimal combat state.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!"
A purple laser, as thick as a forearm, surged forward. Its power was so overwhelming that it could instantly vaporize a Truth Seeking Ball.
If his opponent was foolish enough to take the attack head-on, the best outcome would be losing an arm.
Meanwhile, the Ten-Tails, having completed its rest, roared as it surged back into Kyōsuke's body.
Its strength was explosively enhanced, its size already exceeding a thousand meters. In terms of chakra volume, it was no less than Kaguya's Ten Tails in its complete form.
Unfortunately, even this immense power of the Ten-Tails couldn't resist the dual seal of the Rinnegan and the Kāma mark.
"Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!"
Like gelatin, Kyōsuke absorbed the Ten Tails into his body. As Hamura's expression darkened, Kyōsuke struck with a single punch, caving in one of his Truth-Seeking Orbs.
