Comparing the two pillars, this pillar is too extreme!

The Rinnegan reappeared on him.

This proves that he is the true chosen one!

Heaven entrusted him with this mission!

Only he can bring peace to the world!

……

After listening to Hashirama Senju's concerns...

The expressions on the faces of the three immortals then turned serious.

Even they themselves hadn't thought of it.

There may be other beings in the ninja world who are no less powerful than them.

These beings might even be more powerful than them.

However, these forms of existence are too hidden.

So much so that they all overlooked some very small details.

Now that Hashirama Senju has said that...

They then realized,

Perhaps there really are a few masterminds lurking in the shadows of the ninja world all along? ...

"...If the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, is still alive, then things could get quite troublesome."

"I just don't know in what form it exists."

"I wonder how much of his peak power he still possesses..."

"It's a slug fairy," the slug fairy said in a low voice.

Thousands of years have passed,

The Yin-Yang Escape Technique of the Sage of Six Paths

Including when he transformed into the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki,

That world-destroying power was still deeply etched in his mind!

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju's face showed curiosity.

"Slug Immortal..."

"Your impression of him must be from thousands of years ago..."

"You are much stronger now than you were a thousand years ago..."

"Even if the Sage of Six Paths is stronger than the three of you, it shouldn't be enough to make you worry too much..."

The Great Toad Immortal sighed, shook his head, and said...

"Hagoromo... the Sage of Six Paths' strength is far beyond your imagination..."

"Although we are much stronger than we were a thousand years ago..."

"But it's still a hair's breadth away from the Six Paths level..."

"And that very thin line separates us—the distance between heaven and earth..."

"Even if the three of us plus you join forces, we still wouldn't be a match for the Sage of Six Paths!!"

The White Snake Immortal then spoke with a displeased expression.

"Although I really hate that guy, Hagoromo Otsutsuki..."

"But I have to admit that his strength is indeed fundamentally different from ours."

"If you haven't reached the Six Paths level, even if you just stand there and let me hit you, you probably wouldn't be able to hurt him!"

Turning his head,

The White Snake Sage looked Hashirama Senju up and down again.

"Kid! Although your strength has now surpassed ours."

"But don't think you're a match for the Sage of Six Paths."

"Although you've come incredibly close to that level... you still haven't broken through that barrier!!"

[The Fourth Raikage: The First Hokage is already this strong... and he's still no match for the Sage of Six Paths?!]

[Onoki: I thought the current First Hokage was almost as strong as the legendary gods...]

[Mei Terumi: It seems the First Hokage's strength has far surpassed the Kage level... Six Paths level, is that their classification of divine power?]

Orochimaru: The Six Paths level should be the standard for distinguishing between gods and humans. This First Hokage's strength has reached the pinnacle of human potential, but he still hasn't reached the level of a god!!

[Naruto Uzumaki: So the Kage aren't the strongest... I thought the Kage were the strongest ninjas... I didn't expect they were so much stronger...]

[Jiraiya: Naruto, the Kage do represent the limits of what an ordinary ninja can achieve... but there are huge differences between Kage!!]

Orochimaru: That's true... For example, among the five villages, the weakest Kage is probably the Kazekage.

[Rasa: Orochimaru!!! Do you want the Sand Village to be your mortal enemy?!]

The Slug Immortal shook his head and chuckled.

"Although what the White Snake said is indeed true."

"But you've already gained the ability to contend with a Sixth Path level expert..."

"Besides reaching this level myself, another way to threaten a Six Paths level expert is through immortal techniques."

"Ordinary chakra attacks have no effect on Six Paths level beings."

"But your magic can pose a threat to them!!"

The giant toad sage then nodded.

"That's right, that's correct..."

"Your Sage Mode training has far surpassed ours; you no longer even need to rely on chakra."

"Currently, in the entire ninja world, you are probably the only one who can do this."

After saying that, the Great Toad Sage couldn't help but glance at Hashirama Senju in surprise.

A person activates ninjutsu by activating the chakra within their body.

Ordinary chakra is obtained by mixing one's physical and mental energy.

Sage Chakra is formed by absorbing natural energy (energy circulating in the world) and fully integrating it.

However, to maintain the balance of the three energies,

Only one-third of each can be activated.

If there is too much natural energy, it will be consumed by the forces of nature.

If natural energy is insufficient, one cannot gather the power of immortals to activate immortal mode.

However, it had no effect on Hashirama Senju whatsoever.

Because he can now activate Sage Mode without relying on any chakra!

He can directly use the natural energy between heaven and earth to attack his enemies.

at this point,

Even the three great immortals couldn't do that.

"Perhaps...you really can create a completely new cultivation system!!"

The Great Toad Sage gave Hashirama Senju a deep look.

I couldn't hide the shock in my heart at all!

He still remembers it.

When I first met Hashirama Senju a few years ago,

Hashirama Senju told him,

I will definitely create a training system completely different from chakra.

He wanted to popularize the cultivation of immortal arts throughout the world.

To enable everyone to cultivate immortal arts.

The Great Toad Immortal at the time simply thought he was young and impetuous.

They're so arrogant and ignorant!

Cultivating immortal techniques is just too difficult!!

If natural energy is not properly managed...

That could lead to death!

Regardless of the difficulty and risk,

The cultivation of Sage Mode far surpasses that of Chakra!
