A vast white smoke instantly shrouded the vision of Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
Whether it was Uchiha Madara in his complete Susanoo state, or Yuto, who had transformed into the Diamond Sealing Giant.
Although both had already reached a height comparable to a tailed beast, the sky-obscuring white smoke still made them feel a sense of insignificance.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an extremely fierce wind sound echoed in the air. In the next instant, the sky-obscuring white smoke had vanished.
Before Yuto and Uchiha Madara stood an incomparably giant slug, its size completely beyond imagination!
Its shadow alone covered all of Konoha.
It's too big!
It's far beyond everyone's imagination!
In everyone's vision, it was as if the entire world consisted of only this giant slug standing there.
As for the figures of others, their minds had already been filled by this immense presence.
Most people in Konoha couldn't help but collapse to the ground, their gazes vacant as they stared at the giant figure that enveloped the entire village.
What is this?
Is this really a battle between the "Three Sages"?
"That figure... it couldn't be the legendary..."
Jiraiya couldn't help but take two steps back, his voice trembling as he spoke with a slight tremor.
"The legendary Slug Sage!"
Tsunade's face was pale with disbelief.
As someone who had made a contract with the Shin Forest, Tsunade was perhaps one of the few people in the entire shinobi world who had truly seen the Slug Sage.
Therefore, the moment this sky-obscuring figure appeared, Tsunade had already known.
"Grandpa was actually able to summon the Slug Sage."
Tsunade's voice was dry. Even now, deep in her heart, she still felt a sense of disbelief.
After all, even when she unsealed her Yin Seal and used her full power, she could only summon a small part of the Slug Sage's body.
It was common knowledge that the stronger the summoned creature, the more chakra it contained, the larger its size, and the more terrifying the chakra cost to summon it.
This was no longer a simple one-plus-one issue, but a completely exponential explosion.
The amount of chakra needed to fully summon the Slug Sage was completely beyond what Tsunade could comprehend.
Seeing the incomparably giant slug, both Yuto and Uchiha Madara were momentarily stunned.
The giant figure, over three or four hundred feet tall, exuded an extremely terrifying aura, as if it had instantly sent everyone back to a primitive era when humans were weak and preyed upon by beasts.
An indescribable fear flooded the hearts of Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
This fear did not come from the gap in their strength.
It was as if it came from the depths of human bloodline, the same feeling an ordinary person would face a beast.
The Slug Sage!!
Yuto couldn't help but swallow, a rare bitter expression appearing on his face.
Beside him, Uchiha Madara's face had also stiffened.
Throughout the shinobi world, there were three great hereditary lands.
They were Myobokuzan, Ryūchi Cave, and the Shin Forest.
The sages of these three hereditary lands had existed since the Kaguya era, each with a history of over a thousand years.
Unlike the other two hereditary lands, whether it was the Toad Sage of Myobokuzan or the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave, they had countless descendants, and the sages of both lands were already old.
For example, even if summoned with the Summoning Technique, the Toad Sage of Myobokuzan probably wouldn't have much combat power.
But Shin Forest was different. The entire hereditary land had only one slug: the Slug Sage.
And whether it was Tsunade or Sakura, the slugs they summoned with the Summoning Technique were only a part of the Slug Sage's body.
What was even more different from the other two hereditary lands was that compared to the already very old Toad Sage and White Snake Sage, the Slug Sage was still in a very youthful state.
This point could be seen from the slugs summoned by Tsunade or Sakura.
The Slug Sage, who had survived since the Kaguya era for over a thousand years, was enough to make Yuto and Uchiha Madara feel how troublesome it was.
The unknown was the source of fear!
"I didn't think you'd actually summon me, Hashirama."
The soft voice of the Slug Sage sounded beside Hashirama Senju.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju was sitting cross-legged on a spot on the Slug Sage's head.
Hearing the Slug Sage's voice, Hashirama Senju quickly showed a respectful expression on his pale face.
By exhausting all his chakra and life force, he had barely managed to summon the Slug Sage.
But summoning it didn't mean the end; Hashirama still needed to consume some of his chakra to maintain the Slug Sage's existence.
With any Summoning Technique, besides the large amount of chakra consumed at the beginning, a small amount of chakra was also needed afterward to maintain the summoned creature's existence.
Of course, this "small amount of chakra" was only relative.
If an ordinary shinobi tried to maintain the summoned Slug Sage, they would likely be drained in an instant.
Even Hashirama Senju, now in Sage Mode, felt his chakra rapidly depleting.
"Slug Sage, I'll have to trouble you next."
Hashirama Senju spoke with a weak and respectful tone.
"So there are two of them now?"
The Slug Sage's puzzled voice entered Hashirama's ears.
"There was only one at first, but an old friend has also been resurrected. These two pose a great threat to the shinobi world. One of them has a special body similar to immortality."
Hashirama Senju said in a low voice.
"Immortality? I've seen too many of those. I can just put him inside my body. As for the other one without immortality, that should be your old friend, right? Are you sure you want to kill him too?"
The Slug Sage said calmly.
"I'm counting on you, Slug Sage."
Hashirama Senju fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
The moment Hashirama Senju's voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted from Slug Sage's body.
An indescribable pressure, mixed with Senjutsu chakra, instantly bore down on both Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
Thud! Thud!
The complete Susanoo and the giantified Gold Seal seemed to have suddenly been struck by heavy blows.
Yuto and Uchiha Madara each staggered back several steps at the same time.
