Chapter 86.1 : Infinite Compression!

In the live room, everyone witnessed Yasao joining his hands, executing a Sage Art.

"Sage Art – Infinite Compression!"

A resonant hum!

In the distance, a mountain swiftly condensed into a stone, falling into Yasao's grasp.

Simultaneously, a colossal ancient beast approached from afar, unmistakably an ancient giant.

Yasao activated his Sage Art once again, compressing the immense ancient beast into a palm-sized blood sphere that flew straight into his hands.

At this juncture, the screen faded.

"Golden List captured an image of me practicing the infinite compression Sage Art in a distinct space, but back then, the potency of my Sage art's infinite compression wasn't formidable," Yasao mused.

Infinite compression, essentially a form of spatial ninjutsu, could shrink an object into a minuscule form. For living entities, the menace of this jutsu was exceedingly dreadful.

Who could withstand the compression of space?

Should the compression be unstoppable, the body would condense to a point. With the exception of certain special creatures, nearly all others would succumb to compression and perish.

Furthermore, infinite compression possessed sealing capabilities. Even if the compressed being endured without perishing, it would be sealed, robbed of its resistance, and fall into Yasao's clutches.

Such was the terror of Sage Art's infinite compression!

At this moment, many ninjas in the live broadcast room were baffled by this Sage Art.

[Uzumaki Naruto: What kind of Sage Art is this? I don't get it. Why did that colossal beast turn into a blood ball?]

[Haruno Sakura: Silly Naruto, can't you comprehend this? This Sage Art turns a mountain into a stone and an ancient beast into a blood mass. If it were cast on you, you'd instantly compress into a cell.]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Ha, compress me into a cell, then wouldn't I be dead?]

[Haruno Sakura: What do you think?]

[Senju Tobirama: This Sage Art involves space, similar to my Flying Thunder God Technique. However, my technique only utilizes space to traverse through, while this Sage art directly compresses space. If you can't contend with the power of space, death is inevitable!]

[Uchiha Obito: Compressing space is undeniably formidable, and the adversary's technique has a broad reach. It doesn't compress a small space; it compresses an extensive area directly.]

[Fourth Raikage: Although the ancient giant beast in the depiction isn't as colossal as the ancient giant tortoise, it's still sizable, yet it's compressed into a mass of flesh and blood. Truly terrifying!]

The introduction of this Sage art followed.

[The third-ranked Ninjutsu: Sage Jutsu Infinite Compression, caster: Yasao. 

This technique can infinitely compress space, reducing items or life Reiatsu within the spatial area to a singular point, erasing their vitality. Additionally, it has a sealing effect; compressed objects or creatures will be sealed, losing their ability to resist…]

[Senju Tobirama: I assumed it was a simple spatial compression technique, but unexpectedly, it has a sealing effect. Creatures with immortal bodies, even if they resist infinite compression without perishing, will be sealed and lose their ability to resist!]

[Senju Hashirama: This art is truly frightening! Its range is so extensive; it's challenging to evade!]

[Fourth Hokage: I wonder if the Flying Thunder God Technique can evade it in time?]

[Senju Tobirama: Utilizing the Flying Thunder God Technique won't be easy. This technique compresses space, making space travel difficult. The Flying Thunder God Technique requires a stable space environment to teleport before space compression can occur.]

[Fourth Hokage: True, Second Hokage is more knowledgeable about the Flying Thunder God Technique!]

"Infinitely compressed space, this technique..." Ōtsutsuki Kaguya furrowed her brow.

How did this technique feel like a check on her expanding Truth-Seeking Ball?

Her inflated Truth-Seeking Ball constantly expanded, eventually consuming the entire world.

Yet, Yasao's technique could compress space, objects, everything — specifically to counteract the expansion of the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Initially, she still possessed the trump card of the inflated Truth-Seeking Ball, but when faced with Yasao's infinite compression, it seemed to lose its efficacy.

And...

Once Yasao casts the Sage Art of Infinite Compression on her, will she be able to withstand it?

If she can endure it, she won't face death, but she will undoubtedly be sealed.

Once sealed by Yasao, he must have a method to eliminate her.

And Ōtsutsuki Kaguya guessed correctly; Yasao created the Sage Art of Infinite Compression to indeed control the expansion of her Truth-Seeking Ball.

As a time-traveler, Yasao found the expansion of the Truth-Seeking Ball somewhat problematic. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was evidently very powerful, yet she possessed an expanded Truth-Seeking Ball capable of devouring the entire world.

This world-destroying technique is exceptionally rare.

Hence, Yasao had to control such a technique. He couldn't risk Ōtsutsuki Kaguya going berserk and unleashing a massive Truth-Seeking Ball in the ninja world; it would be troublesome.

He couldn't guarantee that he could confront the bloated Truth-Seeking Ball, so he had to prepare in advance.

His preparation involved the infinite compression Sage Art; even if the expansion of the Truth-Seeking Ball is potent, he is confident in compressing and sealing it.
