Chapter 85.3 : Heaven Slashing Sword!
After a brief wait, the fourth position on the ninjutsu ranking was finally disclosed.
In the live broadcast room, Yasao materialized, his slender body and hair floating gracefully. A mask adorned his face, exuding a unique aura, reminiscent of a village's peerless prodigy!
At this moment, Yasao performed Sage Art.
He unsheathed his sword, the lightsaber.
"Sage Art — Heaven Slashing Sword!"
Yasao wielded the sword, Chakra surging, and the blade ripped through the fabric of reality. The sky spanning thousands of miles was torn asunder, revealing another dimension before everyone's eyes.
Moreover, the sword's light directly cleaved into this alternate dimension, tearing through its soil and creating an abyss of unknown depth.
Crucially, even after the sword strike, the spatial rift in the sky didn't immediately mend; it recovered at a sluggish pace.
"This technique is truly powerful, Master!" Kumoko promptly commended.
"Master, is this your Heaven Slashing Sword?" Honghong inquired.
"Yes!" Yasao affirmed. "This Sage Art synchronizes with my lightsaber. It's a sword-based Sage art, concentrating ultimate Chakra and erupting from the lightsaber, instantly slicing through fragmented space. With a high enough cultivation base, one swing can destroy nine stars and many worlds."
"Master must be capable of slashing nine stars and many worlds with a single stroke!" Kumoko praised once more.
"Master is invincible!" Garaga declared.
"Master, these ninjas in the live broadcast room must be awestruck by your Sage art!" Yaya said with a smile.
...
"Indeed, they are absolutely dumbfounded!" Rongrong concurred.
At this moment, numerous ninjas in the live broadcast room were indeed dumbfounded.
[Fourth Raikage: What kind of Sage Art is this? A sword tearing through the sky, creating such an extensive spatial crack, stretching for thousands of miles, penetrating into another dimension, tearing the earth in that dimension! I can't fathom what kind of attack this is!]
[Kakashi: I'm baffled. What strength is this? Even if all five major ninja villages joined forces, it wouldn't be enough against a single swing of that sword!]
[Might Guy: If I were to unlock the Eight Inner Gates... Forget it. If I do, I'll be instantly killed by that sword!]
[Terumi Mei: This sword is so impressive. If only one could marry him!]
Most Kage-level ninja perceived Yasao's strength as formidable, with no alternative thoughts. However, a group of conspirators questioned their existence.
Similar to Obito, who was dumbfounded, the Sage Art possessed by Yasao had the potential to kill him instantly countless times.
Even Uchiha Madara found himself astonished.
"Even in my resurrected state, do I dare to implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?" Uchiha Madara wondered silently.
Facing such an overpowering figure, if he dared to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the entire ninja world, the opponent wouldn't succumb to it. Instead, they might retaliate with lethal force.
"No, resurrection must still occur. If necessary, I won't use Infinite Tsukuyomi. I'll capture the tailed beasts, gather the nine great tailed beasts, summon the Ten Tails, and become the Ten Tails Jinchūriki. Only then can I step into the Six Paths level and attain formidable power," Uchiha Madara thought in secrecy.
In essence, he didn't want to provoke a God.
"Yasao's strength is truly terrifying!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya furrowed her brow; the power of his sword surpassed her expectations. Although she could traverse space at will, breaking the void over thousands of miles with a single stroke was beyond her ability. Such swordsmanship could obliterate her immortal body.
Moreover, this was only the fourth-ranked technique on the ninjutsu list, with the third place yet to be unveiled.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya realized she might not be Yasao's match unless she underwent a significant transformation, surpassing the Six Paths level.
"Perhaps I can leverage the power of the Ōtsutsuki clan to let them confront Yasao. I'll stay in the shadows, let them battle it out, and then I'll intervene!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya contemplated.
Yet, she still underestimated Yasao.
Yasao was a shrewd and low-key strategist, concealing a terrifying strength. The Golden List live broadcast room only showcased a fraction of his abilities.
Despite her desire to defeat Yasao, hope seemed elusive.
As time passed, amid the lingering astonishment of the Heaven Slashing Sword, the announcement for the third place on the ninjutsu list was imminent.
Inside the Golden List live room, Yasao's figure reappeared, confirming that he still held the third position on the ninjutsu list.
"What's the master's third ranked Sage art?" Garaga, filled with curiosity, whispered.
"You'll find out soon. Stop asking and watch the live broadcast room!" Yaya replied.
"Okay!"
Garaga turned her attention to the live broadcast room as Yasao, depicted on the screen, prepared to demonstrate another Sage Art.
