In an instant!
A golden beam of light erupted from Kai's hand, shooting straight toward Indra's Arrow. The entire space of Shikkotsu Forest was consumed by this golden radiance!
When the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion collided with Indra's Arrow, there was no dramatic clash of jutsu as one might expect. Silently, Indra's Arrow simply dissolved into the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion!
The White Snake Sage didn't even have time to react!
The golden beam swept right over the White Snake Sage's head. In an instant, his entire head vanished completely, and his massive serpent body collapsed limply to the ground.
As for that disgusting, bizarre substitution jutsu? Without a head, how could he spit himself out? He was clearly dead beyond any possibility of revival!
Having killed the White Snake Sage, Kai continued directing the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion toward the Great Toad Sage!
But ever since Kai had revealed his Six Paths Mode, the Great Toad Sage hadn't taken his attention off him for even a moment. The instant the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion appeared, the Great Toad Sage was already moving!
His leg muscles tensed, and he suddenly leaped high into the air, hovering in midair!
Sage Art: Frog Leap!
A Sage Art of the toad clan that allowed them to gather energy beneath their feet and propel themselves without relying on anything—enabling flight and high-speed movement through the air.
At this point, the Great Toad Sage clearly realized that Kai's strength far exceeded his imagination. If that golden beam struck him, he'd likely end up the same as the White Snake Sage!
Sage Art: Goemon!
Oil, wind, and fire simultaneously erupted from the Great Toad Sage's mouth. The wind fed the flames, the oil fueled the fire! In an instant, towering flames surged toward Kai!
The Great Toad Sage didn't fantasize that such an attack could actually harm Kai—he only hoped it could disrupt the release of the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion in Kai's hand!
That technique was simply too terrifying!
It did fulfill the Great Toad Sage's wishes. The golden beam gradually faded, but only because Kai had actively stopped channeling the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion.
It wasn't that Kai's chakra was insufficient to continue. Though the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion's chakra consumption was truly horrifying, maintaining it for several minutes was still no problem for Kai.
Rather, Shikkotsu Forest couldn't withstand it!
Under Kai's perception, after he'd only swung it twice, the ground throughout all of Shikkotsu Forest had already cracked. If he didn't disperse the Golden Wheel Rinne-Tensei Explosion's power, the Great Toad Sage might not die, but Shikkotsu Forest would already be reduced to ruins.
Ribbit... gu... ribbit...
A chorus of toad calls reached Kai's ears. Suddenly, four massive stone statues with toad faces appeared around Kai, each extending a palm aimed at him!
A perfectly square cube materialized, trapping Kai within! Kai felt his body slightly restrained, and this binding sensation gradually grew stronger!
Sage Art: Unbreakable Prison!
Mount Myōboku's most powerful genjutsu—a bizarre sound-based illusion!
By performing toad melodies, chakra was implanted into the victim's body. Those caught would enter the Four Guardians' genjutsu barrier, unable to move.
With just this technique alone, Jiraiya had killed three of Pain's bodies.
But the Sage Art: Unbreakable Prison released by the Great Toad Sage was obviously incomparable to Jiraiya's!
Rinne-Tenseigan: Tsukuyomi World!
Kai understood that no matter how realistic everything before his eyes appeared, it was merely an illusion. When it came to creating genjutsu worlds, what could compare to someone who possessed both Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami?
Without even needing direct eye contact, Kai pulled the Great Toad Sage's consciousness into a world of his own creation.
Discovering the changing scenery around him, indescribable fear appeared in the Great Toad Sage's eyes. He pointed at Kai and demanded, "Where is this place?!"
"My world!" Kai looked at the Great Toad Sage and replied with calm indifference.
"A genjutsu?"
The Great Toad Sage was, after all, a creature who had lived for over a thousand years. He quickly recovered his composure and attempted to disrupt his internal chakra flow to escape the Tsukuyomi World's influence.
But what made the Great Toad Sage even more horrified was this: the endless chakra within his body had completely vanished—not even a trace of its existence remained!
Looking at the Great Toad Sage, Kai's face showed a smile: "In this world, all rules are established by me! And I declare that this world does not permit the existence of chakra!"
Such a genjutsu actually exists?!
The Great Toad Sage found it somewhat hard to believe, but then he thought of something, his eyes showing a glimmer of hope! He shouted fiercely: "Since it's this world's rule, then you don't possess chakra either, do you? In that case..."
Sage Art: Frog Combat Technique!
A taijutsu of the Mount Myōboku clan! It could utilize all energy around the body as part of the body for attacks—even without touching the opponent, it could effectively strike them directly.
The Great Toad Sage saw a glimmer of hope for defeating Kai! Naturally, he wouldn't give up. In an instant, his entire body lunged toward Kai, his massive form moving with surprising agility.
Watching the Great Toad Sage charging at him, Kai's face showed a faint smile: "Indeed, I don't possess chakra either. Because in this world, I don't need chakra at all!"
A massive cage suddenly dropped down, trapping the Great Toad Sage within!
Blazing fire! Lava! Blade strikes! Axe blows!...
For three days, the Great Toad Sage endured countless torments. Even with the Great Toad Sage's mental fortitude forged over a millennium, after three days, only vacant stupor remained in his eyes.
Glancing at the Great Toad Sage, Kai ultimately chose not to kill him. After all, letting such massive chakra go to waste would be too regrettable.
The Mangekyō pattern flashed in his eyes!
Kotoamatsukami!
The same mark flashed in the Great Toad Sage's eyes. Slowly, light returned to them as he looked at Kai respectfully and said, "Master Kai, please forgive Gamatama for his earlier offense."
