"Kekeke... Kid, now that you've been caught by my White Rage Technique, don't even think about escaping!" The White Snake Sage's voice suddenly reached Kai's ears.
From the corner of his eye, Kai could see a long dragon made of white liquid spinning continuously above the White Snake Sage's head. Dragon claws gripped something resembling a dragon pearl, which periodically erupted with blinding flashes of light.
Sage Art: White Rage Technique!
Kai had some understanding of this jutsu. Its effect caused the air within a certain area to vibrate constantly, making the victim feel as if all their bones were grinding against each other, even causing the body to go numb!
When someone like Kabuto used the White Rage Technique, he could force Sasuke to be unable to maintain his Susanoo—let alone when the White Snake Sage himself performed it.
Its power had increased by who knows how many times!
Countless cells within Kai's body instantly ruptured from the vibrations, nerve cells included. Though the perfect Sage Body's recovery speed was fast, the Great Toad Sage's palm strike was even faster!
Divine Advent!
Fortunately, the Divine Advent technique could be activated through consciousness alone. Only because of this did Kai barely dodge the Great Toad Sage's terrifying palm at the last moment!
However, just as Kai steadied himself, a tremendous force suddenly struck from behind!
The Great Toad Sage's other palm landed solidly on Kai's back!
Kai was sent flying several thousand meters, smashing through countless bone-white stone pillars before finally hitting the ground and bouncing several hundred meters more!
His spine was shattered, his internal organs crushed!
Kai had overlooked that the White Rage Technique didn't just make the air vibrate—it could also damage the victim's sight and hearing through the intense light and sound it produced!
Having lived for a thousand years, the Great Toad Sage's combat experience was incredibly rich. When to attack, what method to use—in the instant he began, he had already conceived the optimal strategy!
First, a direct frontal palm strike at Kai with no reservations, a full-power blow. But the Great Toad Sage had already calculated that Kai could dodge it. Simultaneously, his other palm, concealed by the White Rage Technique, was infused with barely detectable natural energy and struck at Kai!
Caught off guard, Kai naturally couldn't avoid it!
After struggling briefly, Kai slowly straightened up. Looking at the massive forms of the Great Toad Sage and White Snake Sage in the distance, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
When was the last time he'd suffered such severe injuries? It seemed... he had never actually sustained such serious wounds before.
But finally, his desire for battle ignited once more!
He hadn't expected that besides the yet-to-be-revived Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, there were still opponents in this shinobi world who could force him into an all-out fight!
This was... wonderful!
Unprecedented seriousness appeared in Kai's eyes. The Rinne-Sharingan manifested in his eye sockets, and under Yang Release healing, his severely injured body quickly returned to perfect condition.
"Rinnegan? Or is that the Tenseigan? Another member of the Ōtsutsuki clan? How troublesome." The White Snake Sage frowned as he looked at the now-standing Kai.
"Members of the Ōtsutsuki clan are always trouble. White Snake, attack with full force—eliminate him!" the Great Toad Sage commanded sternly, and the White Snake Sage didn't object.
Whether in strength or strategy, the White Snake Sage was a step below the Great Toad Sage.
Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!
The White Snake Sage's signature Sage Art wasn't simply using chakra to control matter—it could grant life to lifeless inorganic materials and control them through reincarnation jutsu!
Throughout Shikkotsu Forest, countless towering bone-white stone pillars instantly transformed into massive white-scaled serpents!
The white-scaled serpents snapped their jaws and flicked crimson tongues, charging toward Kai. Each one was even more formidable than the white-scaled giant snake Orochimaru could become!
How vast was Shikkotsu Forest?
Kai realized that even with his Kagura Mind's Eye fully expanded, he could barely sense its boundaries. And how many bone-white pillars were there? Smaller ones appeared every few steps, larger ones every few dozen meters—practically endless!
Though Inorganic Reincarnation required substantial Sage Chakra, as a being who had lived for over a thousand years, the White Snake Sage lacked nothing if not chakra. Moreover, as a Sage, he was constantly absorbing natural energy from the environment and converting it into Sage Chakra!
Countless white-scaled serpents surged toward Kai like a white shroud, wave after wave...
Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!
Countless towering trees suddenly appeared. Under the infusion of Sage Chakra, the range of Nativity of a World of Trees expanded dozens of kilometers throughout Shikkotsu Forest!
Wood Release: Deep Forest Binding Technique!
Whether roots or branches, all transformed into sharp wooden spears. Under Kai's control, each spear pierced through one white-scaled serpent after another!
Tenseigan: Repulsive Palm!
Simply dodging wasn't Kai's style. Seizing the right moment, Kai launched an unreserved, full-power attack. In an instant, the Repulsive Palm struck the White Snake Sage.
The struck White Snake Sage's lower body was immediately mangled beyond recognition. But moments later, he emerged completely unharmed from his own mouth.
As expected, Orochimaru had learned his substitution technique from this old snake.
The White Snake Sage raised his front half, looking at Kai with some irritation: "Think you're impressive, kid? Then let me have you experience this sage's most powerful Sage Art!"
Sage Art: Transcendent Distant Shadow!
Two masses of flesh slowly squeezed out from the White Snake Sage's body, gradually taking shape. Two familiar chakra signatures were detected by Kai'sKagura Mind's Eye!
"Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara?" Kai frowned slightly.
But as the White Snake Sage's two masses of flesh slowly formed, Kai's pupils contracted sharply!
Indra... and Asura!
