Chapter 131: Sage Mode. Dragon Transformation! Sage Art. Wood Release. Wood Human Technique!

Three-Tails Isobu!

This was one of the nine portions of chakra separated from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

It was a Tailed Beast formed from one of those portions.

Its entire body was covered in a hard shell, covered in countless spikes, and it had the appearance of a giant turtle.

It could move flexibly both in water and on land.

It was the Tailed Beast most adept at underwater combat.

"A Tailed Beast?!"

"Lord Xingye, be careful!"

Twelve-year-old Hatake Kakashi's expression changed drastically.

The deterrent power of a Tailed Beast.

For combatants below Kage-level.

It was absolutely overwhelming; a single Tailed Beast Ball could wipe out a large wave of troops.

And Hatake Kakashi's current strength was only at the Jonin level; even though he had just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he didn't know what the ability of this eye was, because no one in the Uchiha clan had awakened this eye for a long time.

Furthermore.

Without any bloodline bonuses.

Coming from a civilian background, with only his father being a genius, Hatake Kakashi's total chakra volume was pitifully small.

Maintaining the Sharingan daily was already very strenuous; if he were to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan state, the blue-consumption speed would increase exponentially, and currently, he wouldn't last long before entering a state of exhaustion.

"It actually transformed into a Tailed Beast ahead of schedule?!"

"Did the people from the Leaf discover the clues?!"

"Forget it, it was just an experiment anyway; since it failed, have the Sealing Squad prepare."

"After the Three-Tails goes on a rampage, seal it back up; we cannot lose the Tailed Beast."

"As for those two Leaf ninja, consider them unlucky."

"........."

Originally.

These Hidden Mist Anbu.

When they saw Hatake Kakashi forming seals to release Chidori, intending to kill the Three-Tails jinchuriki.

Their expressions all changed drastically, wanting to rush forward to stop him, lest the Three-Tails die directly and randomly respawn in the wild, at which point it might not be possible to recapture it.

Fortunately.

As if sensing a threat to its life.

Plus the seal on the Uchiha girl being too weak.

At the last moment.

The Three-Tails broke through the seal directly, entering the full Tailed Beast state, which avoided the fate of dying on the spot.

Watching the Three-Tails wantonly venting its chakra, the Hidden Mist Anbu also relaxed, watching the two Leaf ninja with interest, as if they had already seen the scene of these two dying miserably.

"Sage Mode!"

Clapping his hands together.

Senju Xingye instantly entered Sage Mode.

This was a special state created by absorbing a certain amount of natural energy to produce 'Sage Chakra'.

In this state.

One could use natural energy to enhance attack and defense.

One could also use natural energy to increase the range of taijutsu attacks and sensory perception.

Using the amplification of 'Sage Chakra' allowed one's ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu to achieve a leap in power, and it could cause difficult-to-recover damage to the Ten-Tails and its jinchuriki.

The next second.

When Senju Xingye opened his eyes.

His originally pitch-black pupils had transformed into golden dragon-like vertical slits.

Pale golden eyeshadow also appeared around his eyes.

"Sage Art. Wood Release. Adamantine Wood!"

Senju Xingye roared.

Forming seals?

That was only something honest people would do.

True powerhouses have always been about clapping their hands and getting whatever they shout for.

Senju Xingye, who had now reached the peak of Kage-level strength, was just like that, starting directly with a Sage Art.

"Rumble—"

Instantly.

From beneath the ground, sturdy trees over a hundred meters long were summoned.

They struck the Three-Tails' abdomen directly.

That terrifying power.

Even with a body as massive as a Tailed Beast, it couldn't quite hold up, being smashed into the sky before falling heavily onto a small mountain.

"No way, this Adamantine Wood is different from mine?!" ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
