The sky-obscuring white smoke instantly enveloped Yūto and Uchiha Madara's vision.
Whether it was Uchiha Madara in his perfect Susanoo state, or Yūto in his giant Adamantine Sealing Chains form.
Even though the two had reached a height comparable to a Tailed Beast, the sky-obscuring white smoke before them still made them feel small.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an extremely strong gust of wind sounded in the air, and in the next instant, the sky-obscuring white smoke disappeared.
Appearing before Yūto and Uchiha Madara was an incredibly massive, giant Katsuyu whose size completely exceeded imagination!
Just its shadow alone had already enveloped the entire Konoha.
Too big!
It was truly far bigger than anyone could have imagined!
In everyone's sight, it was as if only a giant Katsuyu stood there between heaven and earth.
As for the figures of others, their minds were already filled by this colossal figure.
Most of the people in Konoha couldn't help but collapse onto the ground, their eyes staring blankly at the giant figure that enveloped the entire Konoha.
What on earth is this?
Is this really just a battle between the "Three Greats"?
"That figure... could it be the legendary..."
Jiraiya couldn't help but step back two steps, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke.
"The legendary Slug Sage!"
Tsunade's face turned pale, her voice filled with disbelief.
As someone who had signed a contract with Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade was probably one of the very few people in the entire Ninja World who had truly seen the Slug Sage.
Therefore, the moment this sky-obscuring figure appeared before her, Tsunade already knew for sure.
"Grandfather was actually able to summon the Slug Sage."
Tsunade's voice was a little dry; even now, deep down, she still felt a sense of disbelief.
After all, even when she released her Yin Seal and used all her power, she could still only summon a small part of the Slug Sage's body.
You must know that the stronger the summoned creature, the more Chakra it has, and the larger its size, the more terrifying the Chakra consumed during the summoning.
This is no longer a matter of one plus one, but a completely incremental surge.
The Chakra required to fully summon the Slug Sage completely surpassed the scope Tsunade could understand.
Seeing the incredibly huge Katsuyu before them, Yūto and Uchiha Madara were both momentarily stunned.
The massive figure, standing three to four hundred zhang tall, exuded an extremely terrifying aura, as if instantly transporting everyone back to the legendary ancient era when humans were weak and preyed upon by wild beasts.
An indescribable sense of fear surged into the hearts of Yūto and Uchiha Madara.
This fear did not come from the difference in strength.
Instead, it seemed to come from the fear deep within human bloodlines, like the feeling ordinary people have when facing wild beasts.
Slug Sage!!
Yūto couldn't help but swallow, a rare bitter expression appearing on his face.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara on the other side also had a stiff expression.
In the entire Ninja World, there are three great heritage sites.
They are Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest.
The Sages of these three heritage sites have existed since the era of Kaguya, each with a history of at least a thousand years.
Unlike the previous two heritage sites, both the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku and the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave have countless descendants, and even the Sages of the two great heritage sites have grown old.
Just like the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, even if summoned using the Summoning Technique, it probably doesn't have much fighting power.
But Shikkotsu Forest is different; the entire heritage site has only one Katsuyu, and that is the Slug Sage.
And whether it is Tsunade or Sakura, the Katsuyu summoned through the Summoning Technique is just a part of the Slug Sage's body.
What is even more different from the previous two heritage sites is that compared to the already extremely aged Toad Sage and White Snake Sage, the Slug Sage is still in a very young state.
This can be seen from the Katsuyu summoned by Tsunade or Sakura.
The Slug Sage, having survived for over a thousand years since the era of Kaguya, is enough to make Yūto and Uchiha Madara feel extremely troublesome just based on this point.
The unknown is the source of fear!
"I didn't expect you could actually summon me, Hashirama."
The Slug Sage's soft voice sounded beside Senju Hashirama's ear.
At this moment, Senju Hashirama was sitting cross-legged on a spot on top of the Slug Sage's head.
Hearing the Slug Sage's voice, a respectful expression immediately appeared on Senju Hashirama's somewhat pale face.
He had barely managed to summon the Slug Sage back then by exhausting all his Chakra and life force.
But summoning her did not mean the end; Senju Hashirama still needed to consume some Chakra to maintain the Slug Sage's existence.
Any Summoning Technique, besides the large amount of Chakra consumed during the initial summoning, also requires a small amount of Chakra afterwards to maintain the existence of the summoned creature.
Of course, this "small amount of Chakra" is only relative.
If an ordinary Ninja were to maintain the summoned Slug Sage, they would probably be drained instantly.
Even Senju Hashirama, who was now in Sage Mode, felt a sensation of Chakra rapidly being consumed from his body at this moment.
"Slug Sage, I'll leave the rest to you."
Senju Hashirama spoke respectfully, his voice carrying a hint of weakness.
"Are there two people now?"
The Slug Sage's slightly puzzled voice entered Senju Hashirama's ears.
"Originally it was one person, but a former close friend has also been resurrected. Both of these people pose a great threat to the Ninja World, and one of them possesses a special physique similar to immortality."
Senju Hashirama said softly.
"Immortality? I've seen too much of that. Just put him inside my body. As for the other one without immortality, that should be your former close friend, right? Are you sure you want to kill him too?"
The Slug Sage spoke calmly.
"I'll trouble you then, Slug Sage."
Senju Hashirama was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
As soon as Senju Hashirama finished speaking, a terrifying aura instantly erupted from the Slug Sage's body.
An indescribable pressure, mixed with Sage Art Chakra, instantly pressed down on Yūto and Uchiha Madara.
Bang! Bang!
The perfect Susanoo and the giant Adamantine Sealing Chains seemed to have suddenly suffered heavy blows.
Yūto and Uchiha Madara both simultaneously retreated several steps.
