The eyes of Otsutsuki Hagoromo?
The Slug Sage's expression turned slightly grave. She never imagined that in this era, a pair of such eyes could exist.
Unfortunately, compared to Otsutsuki Hagoromo, they were far too lacking. A single pair of eyes was nowhere near enough.
The moment Uchiha Madara's "Planetary Devastation" rose into the sky, all of Slug Sage's attacks were drawn in by its gravitational pull.
At the same time, under this terrifying suction, cracks appeared in the surrounding ground. One by one, giant rocks were pulled in, kicking up massive clouds of dust.
In a short time, a giant sphere of bedrock had already formed in mid-air.
A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes as he manipulated the massive rock in the sky, hurling it down toward the Slug Sage.
The Slug Sage's body tensed slightly, then a large amount of highly corrosive liquid spewed from its mouth.
Sizzle!
The moment these liquids touched the air, it seemed as if the very air was melting, emitting a series of sizzling sounds.
Just then, the giant rock that had been hurtling toward the Slug Sage suddenly halted in mid-air.
Uchiha Madara, who was controlling it from below, couldn't help but freeze, then his face showed a look of astonishment.
He saw that at some point, Yuto's figure had already appeared beneath the giant rock.
Yuto caught the massive rock with both hands, forcefully stopping it in mid-air before it could strike the Slug Sage.
"Rise!!"
Yuto roared, and violent energy erupted from his body, creating a powerful冲击力.
With expressions of shock from the onlookers, Yuto hoisted the massive rock and, using the violent energy as a propulsion force, began to rise rapidly into the sky!
Green veins bulged on Yuto's arms. Due to the sudden change in direction, he completely dodged the acid the Slug Sage had sprayed.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara instantly understood what Yuto intended to do.
"Complete Susanoo!!"
Uchiha Madara roared in unison. A massive blue chakra condensed behind him at a visible speed.
The Complete Susanoo unfurled its two wings behind it, and with a powerful flap, Uchiha Madara also shot skyward, flying toward the top of the Slug Sage's head.
Although their battle had not lasted long, it was enough for Yuto and Uchiha Madara to gather sufficient intelligence.
The Slug Sage's body was simply too large, yet for such a massive form, its reaction speed was surprisingly fast.
Whether it was ninjutsu or taijutsu, these two types of attacks might be able to harm the Slug Sage.
But compared to its colossal body, such damage could be completely ignored.
In short, the Slug Sage had no weaknesses. As for its methods of attack, although it had shown only a single one so far, it had lived for a millennium. Who knew what other terrifying ninjutsu it might have mastered?
If they continued fighting like this, they would undoubtedly lose!
And now, their only opening was on Hashirama Senju. As long as they dealt with Hashirama, everything would be solved.
Yuto and Hashirama Senju simultaneously split into two directions, flying toward the position above the Slug Sage's head.
Sensing their movements, the Slug Sage was extremely calm. Its voice was flat as it spoke:
"It's about time to end this!"
A massive dull thud suddenly echoed.
In the next instant, the Slug Sage's body suddenly began to expand. Then, its slick flesh unfurled like a white cloth.
In a blink of an eye, it wrapped around Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
This was the moment!
A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of both Yuto and Uchiha Madara at the same time!
Thud! Thud!
Yuto's rapidly ascending body suddenly halted. Then, lifting the massive rock above his head, he smashed it down with all his might into the Slug Sage's approaching flesh.
The giant meteorite collided with the Slug Sage's flesh, making a heavy, muffled sound.
Seizing this instant, Yuto's speed surged, turning into a black streak of light as he shot upward.
On the other side, the moment the Slug Sage's flesh enveloped his Susanoo, Uchiha Madara also detached from it.
Using the repulsive force of the Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara's body was propelled forward, flying toward the top of the Slug Sage's head at a speed that was in no way slow.
And the giant rock and the Complete Susanoo, now enveloped by the Slug Sage, began to rapidly dissolve upon contact with its flesh.
In that instant, Uchiha Madara's figure had already appeared above the Slug Sage's head.
Seeing Hashirama Senju sitting there with a somewhat pale face, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of both Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
"It's over, Hashirama!"
Uchiha Madara was the first to utter a low shout.
Yuto didn't say a word. His speed was even faster than Uchiha Madara's.
By the time Uchiha Madara appeared above the Slug Sage, Yuto was already in front of Hashirama Senju.
Violent force gathered into his fist. Yuto raised his fist and punched toward Hashirama's forehead.
Hashirama Senju didn't open his eyes, but he could clearly feel the gust of wind generated by Yuto's incoming punch.
"It truly is over!"
Hashirama Senju murmured softly. His body remained perfectly still, because he trusted that the Slug Sage would handle everything.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A white flashed before the eyes of Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
In the next moment, the two of them were plunged into darkness.
Outside, looking at Yuto and Uchiha Madara, who were now enveloped by the Slug Sage's flesh, Hashirama Senju let out a light sigh.
At this moment, the enveloped Yuto and the other also understood what had happened.
In reality, from the moment they had both shot into the air until they were now enveloped, it had only been a few blinks of an eye.
The Slug Sage was not only agile, but its reaction speed was also astonishing!
This piece of information flashed through Yuto's mind.
However, the biggest problem was how to escape from this!
A large amount of corrosive liquid instantly...
Fluid surged in from all directions.
Yuto's eyes snapped open, and violent energy erupted around him, forming an energy shield.
However, the moment this energy touched the corrosive liquid, it began to melt as if it were a real physical object.
This corrosive liquid was bizarre!
"Slug Sage! You think you can deal with me like this? Do you have any idea who I am!!"
Yuto roared in fury.
At that moment, the Three-Tails, which had been docilely perched on his shoulder, was suddenly overcome with a very bad feeling.
"Three-Tails, lend me your power!"
As expected, Yuto's voice echoed in the Three-Tails' mind.
A look of panic flashed in the Three-Tails' eyes, but before it could react, a terrifying suction force erupted from Yuto's body.
The Three-Tails only managed to let out a miserable cry before its entire body was swiftly devoured by Yuto.
A torrential chakra cascaded from Yuto's body.
"Full-Tailed Beast Transformation!"
Yuto's eyes flew open as he let out a low growl.
One tail! Two tails! Three tails!
Yuto's body transformed into that of the Three-Tails, but at this moment, the Three-Tails' will was easily suppressed by Yuto.
Controlling the Three-Tails, Yuto slammed his fist into the flesh that enveloped him!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Uchiha Madara, who was also trapped, showed an equally furious expression:
"You think you can kill me with such tricks! I am Uchiha Madara!"
Shinra Tensei!!
A violent repulsive force exploded from Uchiha Madara, radiating outwards in all directions.
Outside.
Hashirama Senju looked at the two enveloped figures, Yuto and Uchiha Madara, and couldn't yet afford to relax.
The Slug flesh that contained them both suddenly exploded!
Two violent auras surged out simultaneously from the front and back.
The Three-Tails under Yuto's control raised a giant palm and slammed it down towards Hashirama Senju.
On the other side, Uchiha Madara simultaneously summoned the upper half of his Susanoo, gripping a giant chakra blade, and swung it down towards Hashirama Senju as well.
Seeing the two break free, a glint of coldness flashed in the Slug Sage's massive eyes.
For her status, dealing with two youngsters was already improper.
But since she had already promised Hashirama Senju, the Slug Sage would not go back on her word.
And now, the two youngsters had escaped from her grasp one after another.
In the Slug Sage's view, this was a huge humiliation. Either she didn't act at all, or she would eliminate them completely!
Gulp!
The ground beneath Hashirama Senju suddenly caved in. He entered the Slug Sage's body, dodging the attacks from Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
The attacks from Yuto and Uchiha Madara slammed into the top of the Slug Sage's head, blasting a massive crater. However, the crater rapidly healed at a visible speed.
Yuto's heart sank slightly, an ugly expression appearing on his face.
They had lost their best chance!
"For a thousand years, in every era, there have always been two individuals whose strength transcends the limitations of their time."
"It's as if it's a law, a law of the entire shinobi world. Yet in this era, three such individuals have appeared simultaneously."
"Perhaps this is a sign of change, after all, even I am now caught up in this change."
The Slug Sage's soft voice echoed in everyone's ears.
But from these words, Yuto sensed a certain resolve.
Yuto and Uchiha Madara's bodies simultaneously exploded backwards, retreating in opposite directions.
BOOM!
The Slug Sage's body suddenly split in two. Her soft body met no resistance as it swallowed Yuto and Uchiha Madara whole.
Immediately after, the split bodies merged back into one.
Gulp!
A slight sound came from the Slug Sage's body. Hashirama Senju, who had also been swallowed, re-emerged from beneath her skin.
"Slug Sage, won't those two break free again?"
Hashirama Senju's voice was weak, his chakra nearly depleted. It seemed the Slug Sage's existence wouldn't last much longer.
Seemingly aware that Hashirama Senju couldn't maintain the summoning for much longer, the Slug Sage spoke calmly:
"Don't worry."
In the next moment, the Slug Sage's entire body erupted with a dense Sage Mode chakra.
