Chapter 342

What's more, there is one thing that Ryosuke must obtain through Konoha's hands.

This thing is also something Mizunuki Ryosuke has always longed for but could not reach!

That is—Senjutsu!

And in fact, Ryosuke's urgent desire to obtain Senjutsu is actually to find a path toward becoming stronger.

Even if he has mastered countless trump cards, strong as Mizunuki Ryosuke is, he is also exceptionally clear about one truth in his heart.

That is: his strength has reached a bottleneck.

This bottleneck is absolutely not something that can be solved by the accumulation of "quantity," but a problem of "quality."

In layman's terms, no matter what kind of ninjutsu Ryosuke continues to develop, even if he plays with Ice Release until it blooms, or even develops other Kekkei Genkai, it is of no use at all.

"Qualitative" improvement.

To put it bluntly, it is a problem of the level of power.

In other words, Mizunuki Ryosuke's current strength has reached the pinnacle of the ninja world, which is the limit of a "ninja."

To go further up, he can only find a way to advance toward the level of a "Sage."

And this step is a natural chasm for everyone in the ninja world.

In Ryosuke's heart, he has divided the combat power of the ninja world into several levels.

Regarding low-end combat power, Ryosuke's cognition is no different from the ninja world.

It is nothing more than the three levels of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin.

As for the so-called Special Jonin or Elite Jonin, they actually have not surpassed the level of Jonin.

So there is no need for separate grading.

Further up, according to the concept of the ninja world, people will commonly call the strong at this level "Kage-level."

And starting from here, Ryosuke has his own set of standards in his heart.

"Kage-level" still has strong and weak.

Among the weakest, Ryosuke calls them "Quasi-Kage," that is: although they have broken through the level of Jonin and dealing with ordinary Jonin is like cutting vegetables, they are still unable to cope when facing real Kage-level powerhouses and can only barely fight them for a short time.

In Ryosuke's heart, the current Tsunade and the current Kisame Hoshigaki are both at this level.

And above Quasi-Kage is the real "Kage-level"; the strength at this level is enough to reach the level symbolized by the Five Kage.

And this level can almost encompass the vast majority of Kage-level powerhouses, such as: the Sannin in their prime, most of the Kage in the five great ninja villages, and even most of the people in the Akatsuki organization can be summarized at this level.

Ninjas at this level are already enough to be called the strongest batch of people in the ninja world.

To summarize the strength of this level, they can crush ordinary ninjas, but they still cannot ignore them.

And further up is the ceiling of the current combat power of the ninja world.

Although these people may also bear the title of "Kage-level," their true strength has long surpassed ordinary Kage-level.

Even one of them is enough to fight against a ninja village.

Ryosuke calls this level "Ninja World Pinnacle."

Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, Third Raikage A, Salamander Hanzo, Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Nagato in his prime, Mizunuki Ryosuke himself—

they can all be classified as existences at this level.

For them, ordinary numbers have lost their meaning; this is the truly peak combat power of the ninja world.

And above the Ninja World Pinnacle, they are already rare.

Ryosuke calls them "Break-the-Mold Level."

There are no more than four people in the entire history of the ninja world.

They are: Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara, Naruto in his Perfect Jinchuriki plus mature Sage Mode period, and Sasuke in his single-Rinnegan period.

Actually, these four people can also be directly summarized as two people.

That is the two sons of Otsutsuki Hagoromo—Ashura and Indra.

In fact, once they reach this level, they can no longer be called humans; it is not an exaggeration to say they are "half-human, half-sage."

After reaching this level, even if all the combat power of the ninja world were added together, they could easily sweep them away.

And the final level is the legendary Six Paths level.

Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Kaguya Hime—

existences at the Six Paths level can be summarized in one word—God!

Once at the Six Paths level, nothing else matters; they can suppress existences at the Break-the-Mold level with one hand at will, and destroy the entire ninja world with a flick of their hand.

Note, destroy the entire ninja world. It has a qualitative difference from being able to sweep away all the combat power of the ninja world.

This is Ryosuke's division of strength in the ninja world.

Of course, this strength division is just Ryosuke's own idea and does not represent the absolute.

Among them, there are also some special existences who can use special methods to win against the strong with the weak and obtain temporary increases in combat power.

For example, Jiraiya, who is only an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse, can also reach the combat power of the Ninja World Pinnacle for a short time after opening Sage Mode and merging with the two toads.

In general, it is.

Quasi-Kage can fight against Kage-level powerhouses for a short time and easily deal with ninjas at the Jonin level.

Kage-level can crush Jonin, but cannot ignore Jonin; if the number is sufficient, ordinary ninjas can also exhaust a Kage-level powerhouse to death.

Ninja World Pinnacle can fight against a village with the power of one person, ignoring the disadvantage of numbers.

(Wang Qian's)

Ninja World Break-the-Mold can suppress the ninja world alone.

Six Paths can easily destroy the world.

In fact, when strength reaches the Ninja World Pinnacle, the difficulty of wanting to continue moving forward is no longer something that "talent" and "effort" can solve.

After all, this step is equivalent to transforming from a human into a "half-human, half-sage"; even a genius like Senju Tobirama, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

To break through this bottleneck, the only way Mizunuki Ryosuke can think of is a "cheat."

This kind of method to achieve qualitative change, Ryosuke can currently only think of two.

Either learn Senjutsu, or go dig up a pair of Eternal Mangekyo.

Besides this, there is no other way.

Compared to obtaining Eternal Mangekyo, learning Senjutsu is much more reliable.

There are only two pairs of true Eternal Mangekyo in the entire ninja world; one pair is completely hopeless, and the other pair will not appear for another few decades.

Basically, this path has been completely locked for Ryosuke. ===== CHAPTER 344 =====
