Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 552 The Unlucky Sage of Six Paths

"Sage Art: Moonlight!"

As the hand seals were completed, the Sage Chakra within Tachibana Kenkawa began to rapidly activate.

Along with the surrounding natural energy, it began to gradually converge towards the center of the magic array.

However, the natural energy that gathered did not integrate into the body of the jujube tree, but instead began to emit a shimmering glow as the concentration increased.

It seemed to echo the moonlight hanging high in the sky.

Then, a burst of Sage Chakra surged from Tachibana Kanakawa's body and shot rapidly into the air.

The natural energy radiance that had just gathered around him seemed to be guided, quickly following the Sage Art chakra as it climbed into the sky, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the night.

"What about the treatment?"

Just as Tachibana Kanakawa was thinking this...

As if drawn by an invisible force, the moonlight in the sky quickly condensed into a tangible silver pillar of light, which poured straight down towards the magic circle where Jianchuan Ju was located.

As the light shimmered, strands of lunar essence slowly seeped into Jianchuan Ju's body.

Feeling the gentle energy filling her body, Tachibana Kanakawa nodded slightly.

"Hmm, the healing effect seems to be quite good."

However, just as Jianchuan Ju was about to draw her sword and inflict a wound on herself to test just how powerful the so-called "Moonlight Power" was, her pupils suddenly dilated.

"This? This power?"

Kanakawa Tachibana closed her eyes and carefully sensed it. Among these silvery lights, there was also a faint, milky-white energy mixed in.

Moreover, these abilities seem to be converging towards Tachibana Kanagawa's eyes.

Jianchuan Ju decisively flew backward and retreated from the magic array.

Only after the so-called "moonlight" infusion stopped did Tachibana Kenkawa look at her hands with slight hesitation.

"Why does it feel somewhat similar to the power of a tailed beast?"

"But it seems even weaker, yet purer. Hmm? It also somewhat resembles the power of the Rinnegan?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jianchuan Ju's mind, and then she looked at the moon in the sky in a daze.

"Could it be..."

at the same time.

In the Pure Land of the Ninja World.

An old man in white robes with horns on his head—yes, that's Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths.

Through the Pure Land, Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked up at the bright moon in the sky with the same astonishment and uncertainty.

However, before he could see the full beam of light, he quickly looked away.

"Again?"

The last time such a beam of light descended from the sky, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was severely injured by the aftershock of the beam of light simply because he glanced at it, and he has not yet fully recovered.

At this point, one would naturally feel some lingering fear.

However, the next moment, realizing that he didn't seem to be injured, Hagoromo Otsutsuki mustered his strength and rubbed his dry, swollen eyes again as he looked at the pillar of light.

"No, this seems different from last time."

"Who?! Who is trying to break the seal on the Six Paths Planetary Devastation?!"

Upon closer inspection, Hagoromo Otsutsuki immediately noticed that the power of his mother, who was sealed in the moon, seemed to be leaking out.

Without thinking, he looked down following the silver beam of light.

Until my gaze fell upon a white light membrane that was vaguely spherical.

Subsequently

"Ouch—ouch~"

Another scream rang out.

The legendary Sage of Six Paths once again covered his eyes and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Let's turn our attention back to the 'secret space'.

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa had a vague idea of ​​what the milky white energy mixed in with the "power of moonlight" was.

The moon in the ninja world was originally created by the filial sons Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, who released the "Six Paths* Chibaku Tensei" to seal their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"So, that was the power of the Six Paths? Or the power of the Otsutsuki clan?"

Although it's still just speculation, Tachibana Kanakawa feels that this must be the truth.

"I never expected that a purple skill would come up with such a trick."

Based on what Jianchuan Ju just felt, that "Otsutsuki power" seemed to be trying to modify his eyes.

However, the power is very gentle.

Or rather, weak.

According to Jianchuan Ju's estimate, with that tiny bit of power, even if one stood in the magic circle for ten or eight years, it might not be enough to gather enough ocular power for a pair of Rinnegan.

"Hmm, it might not necessarily be the Rinnegan. The Rinnegan seems to be related to the Ten-Tails, while the Byakugan is the Otsutsuki clan's own power."

"Forget it, the conversion is too slow; it's not really meaningful."

Jianchuan Ju shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind and abandoned this unrealistic idea.

After all, he couldn't possibly just stand in the "Moonlight" magic circle for ten or eight years without doing anything else just to get himself a Rinnegan or Tenseigan.

"However, in the Psychic type prize pool, there seems to be a gold skill called Crescent Prayer. I wonder if its effect will be stronger."

If ten or eight years were reduced to ten or eight days, Jianchuan Ju wouldn't mind getting himself some Otsutsuki blood.

"I just don't know if Black Zetsu will still have a chance to save my mother if Kaguya drains me dry."

After casually wiping away the magic circle on the ground, Jianchuan Ju put the skill out of his mind.

Although "Moonlight" brought him some novel experiences and ideas.

But ultimately, putting aside the "power of the Otsutsuki," this ability to heal oneself while standing inside the circle is indeed too useless.

Returning to the system panel, Jianchuan Ju took out the second prize, "Misty Field".

It's still the same familiar knowledge imparting.

"Hmm, if I teach this technique to Kisame, it should greatly shorten the time he needs to enter Sage Mode."

"That's not right either. Sage techniques require activating Sage Mode to use, so what's the point of this? Shortening the time needed to re-enter Sage Mode?"

Jianchuan Ju scratched his head helplessly.

A "fog field" is a type of fog where a high concentration of natural energy gathers in the vicinity.

To activate Sage Mode, one needs to fuse natural energy with the chakra within the body to generate Sage Chakra.

While a high concentration of natural energy can accelerate this process, it cannot be skipped directly.

Fortunately, this move is different from Xiao Ji's "Fairy Wind". It is not a damaging skill in essence and will not actively invade the human body.

Even if it is released around a companion, as long as the teammate is not foolish enough to actively absorb and merge with the natural energy, there will be no petrification symptoms.

Furthermore, the area within the mist itself is immune to illusions. Although both allies and enemies are immune, considering that Kirigakure doesn't seem to have many illusion masters to begin with.

Furthermore, if Kisame Hoshigaki could train himself to instantly enter Sage Mode in an environment with a high concentration of natural energy, it would at least make up for his shortcomings.

Overall, this move is pretty good, and creating fog suits our Mist Shadow style quite well.

"However, with this technique, there's no need to rely on Xiao Ji's fairy wind to assist in cultivation anymore, which reduces the danger somewhat, so that's good news."

After testing the move briefly, Tachibana Kenkawa was satisfied and put the scroll away.

Move on to the next skill.
