Chapter 258: Truth-Seeking Ball!!


    Chapter 258: Truth-Seeking Ball!!


    Boom!


    The ground cracked like a spiderweb as Hagoromo Gengetsu stepped forward, charging once more at the Great Toad Sage.


    "Water Release: Water Bullet Barrage!"


    The Great Toad Sage opened its mouth wide, launching water bullets the size of cannonballs with a piercing screech, densely covering Hagoromo Gengetsu.


    "Shinra Tensei!"


    Hagoromo Gengetsu extended his palm forward, repelling all the incoming water bullets.


    In a flash, he appeared right in front of the Great Toad Sage.


    "Rinnegan."


    The Great Toad Sage''s gaze swept over the close-range purple whirlpool eyes, not unfamiliar to it.


    It had long seen the same kind of Rinnegan from O?tsutsuki Hagoromo.


    Precisely because it was familiar with the abilities of the Rinnegan, the Great Toad Sage had seized the opportunity when Hagoromo Gengetsu used his sealing technique to stand still, forcing its way through the lava and giving Hagoromo Gengetsu a powerful blow.


    What others saw as the mysterious Rinnegan was no secret to it.


    What the Great Toad Sage couldn''t understand was how Hagoromo Gengetsu had acquired the Rinnegan.


    Moreover, the power of the Rinnegan displayed by Hagoromo Gengetsu seemed somewhat weaker compared to that of O?tsutsuki Hagoromo.@@@@


    The Great Toad Sage was not omniscient; it could only see a fragment of the future in its dreams.


    It couldn''t comprehend the whole picture of many things.


    This was also why Hagoromo Gengetsu had disregarded the future described and the advice given by the Great Toad Sage.


    Boom!


    A dull sound of air bursting was heard.


    At this moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu''s palm turned into a blade, with a massive amount of senjutsu chakra concentrated into a precise structure, aiming to pierce the Great Toad Sage in front of him.


    The Great Toad Sage, coming back to its senses, did not move. Its massive frog hand pressed down like the Five-Elemental Mountain.


    It was more than willing to take an injury to exchange for obliterating Hagoromo Gengetsu completely.


    As if he had anticipated this, Hagoromo Gengetsu halted his blade, calmly flashing to the side of the Great Toad Sage, ready to strike again.


    A gust of wind, carrying sand and dust, surged up.


    At this moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu grasped the toad tongue, intending to tear it apart.


    The toad tongue, faster than he had imagined, coiled around him several times, binding him tightly.


    At this instant, Hagoromo Gengetsu remembered a slow-motion video he had seen of a toad tongue capturing a bug.


    Sure enough.


    The Great Toad Sage quickly retracted its tongue, trying to swallow Hagoromo Gengetsu whole.


    Everything happened too quickly.


    Seeing himself about to be swallowed, Hagoromo Gengetsu did not wish to test the Great Toad Sage''s stomach, influenced by senjutsu for a thousand years, and why it was so confident in swallowing him.


    In an instant!


    Hagoromo Gengetsu''s body turned into a mud-like substance, flowing out through the gaps in the toad tongue.


    By the time the Great Toad Sage fully retracted its tongue, the mud that had landed on the ground rapidly reassembled into Hagoromo Gengetsu''s true form.


    At this moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu formed a seal, causing the mud on the toad tongue to explode.


    Boom!


    Thick smoke billowed from the Great Toad Sage''s mouth.


    In pain, its massive body couldn''t help but tremble a few times.


    Mud Release, a bloodline limit developed by Hagoromo Gengetsu over the past two years, though rarely used.


    After giving the Great Toad Sage a surprise, the situation turned in Hagoromo Gengetsu''s favor. He swiftly moved, appearing before the Great Toad Sage in an instant.


    Hagoromo Gengetsu extended his palm.


    Time seemed to freeze.


    The wind, sand, smoke, and even the massive Great Toad Sage became insignificant.


    In front of Hagoromo Gengetsu''s palm, a rapidly forming black orb became the center of everything.


    The Great Toad Sage, sensing something, looked down to see a small black orb emitting the aura of seven chakra natures, floating lightly towards it.


    "Truth-Seeking Ball!!!"


    The Great Toad Sage''s face changed dramatically, instantly recognizing the Truth-Seeking Ball, a symbol of the pinnacle of ninjutsu, with unparalleled destructive power, that once floated behind O?tsutsuki Hagoromo and O?tsutsuki Hamura.


    For the first time in a thousand years!


    The Great Toad Sage smelled a strong scent of death.
