Chapter 145 » Yusuke: Open Your Summoning Scroll and See It Yourself!

'Since that guy won't cooperate with me, I have no reason to show mercy to these toads.'

After all, from the moment Jiraiya fled from Mount Myoboku, it represented their choice regarding Yusuke. They ultimately chose Jiraiya! Did they believe he could find a way to defeat him?

If that's the case, then Yusuke just needs to show these foolish toads who he truly is once and for all!

Six Paths Sage Mode!

Without hesitation, he unleashed all his power through Sage Mode for the first time! As pressure as intense as the sun's gravity fell upon these humble toads, they watched in terror as the Rinnegan's gaze bore into them!

Black lines began to form on his face, slowly creating a circle on his forehead and complex patterns under his eyes. Simultaneously, his purple eyes now bore straight pupils like those of a fox.

Mienai Sekai — Invisible World!

Six Paths Senjutsu: Truth-Seeking Balls!

Beyond the already terrifying pressure of his abundant chakra and the Rinnegan, Yusuke summoned six Truth-Seeking Balls! Along with the suffocating presence of his absolute domain, he now appeared as a god in the sky!

"Bow down!" With a voice as calm as a still lake, he gazed upon the toads who seemed on the verge of exploding.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…

One by one, even against their will, they began to bow! Their leg bones cracked and their heads bled from the impact on the ground, yet they remained obediently in that position.

The terrifying Six Paths pressure nullified all the sage techniques possessed by Fukasaku and Shima! Even the Great Toad Sage could only feel deep helplessness and powerlessness!

Yusuke descended from the sky to the temple's base, approaching the Great Toad Sage. The elderly toad strained to keep its frail body upright, standing only because Yusuke allows it. Otherwise, it'd be bowing like the others.

"Lamentable!" Yusuke's eyes are cold with indifference as he talked to the Great Toad Sage. He shaked his head slightly, "If you had submitted to me earlier, I might not have been forced to act against you. What a pity... Gamamaru. You chose to believe in someone who's about to die."

The Great Toad Sage's pupils trembled violently at Yusuke's words.

'How does he know my name? Only the Sage of Six Paths knew it, a thousand years ago!'

Since then, even after the Sage's passing, Gamamaru had never used his real name, always presenting himself as the Great Toad Sage.

"Don't be so shocked." Yusuke chuckled lightlym "You're an old fellow, so I understand your surprise."

He tapped the toad's shoulder gently. At that moment, his Rinnegan glowed more intensely.

Eru — Obtain!

Yugo — Fusion!

The Great Toad Sage's ancient mind goes blank for an instant before returning to normal.

'What did he just do?'

Though he doesn't know the answer, he realized it as soon as he looked closely into Yusuke's eyes.

Perfect Sage Mode — Toad Path!

Alongside the slit-shaped pupil, another appeared in the shape of a toad's pupil! Somehow, his enemy had acquired the Toad Sage Technique!

"Well, let's begin the show." Smiling at the old toad, Yusuke started something intriguing.

First, he applied the Second Personality Imprint to all the toads, without exception. They now pledged unwavering loyalty to him. Better yet, they became his devoted soldiers!

Having gained control over one of the Three Sacred Regions, why not exploit it to its fullest?

Thus, he instilled a loyal personality with three primary directives:

First, absolute loyalty to Yusuke and his subordinate ninjas. Second, rapid and controlled reproduction to form an army. Third, relentless training as if their lives depended on it!

With his own summoning creatures, Yusuke could deploy them as a formidable weapon on the battlefield. He even considered gifting a small toad to each Ninja Academy graduate!

This strategy would integrate Mount Myoboku into his domain, granting several of his ninjas access through the Reverse Summoning Technique!

Yusuke had thoroughly conquered Mount Myoboku in its entirety!

[ Ding! The host has conquered Mount Myoboku! One of the Three Great Sacred Regions of the ninja world! Congratulations to the host for earning 20,000,000 Villain Points! ]

His lips curled into a slight smile. Conquering one of the three great sacred places had directly earned him twenty million Villain Points?

"If I conquer Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest as well, I wonder if the rewards will be comparable to Mount Myoboku." He pondered.

Moreover, granting his ninjas nearly full access to Senjutsu training wasn't a bad idea. A long-term plan, but a promising one nonetheless.

Yusuke gently pinched the bridge of his nose. Then, closing his eyes, he activated his powerful sense of perception.

Although Jiraiya has already left this place, finding him is only a matter of time. As long as he hasn't left the Land of Fire, the entire region is under his perception.

The Six Paths sensing power is no joke! Closing his eyes, Yusuke feels the power within him erupt with a roar! Some weaker creatures even exploded from the sheer force!

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

At the border of the Land of Fire, in an extremely secluded forest, a cloud of white smoke slowly appears. As it dissipates, Jiraiya materialized, his face contorted with rage.

"Damn it! Damn it all!" He roars, his fists clenched tightly, fury radiating from every pore.

He knows that as soon as he left Mount Myoboku, Yusuke's murderous nature would likely spell doom for the Great Toad Sage and the others. The thought of their possible fate sent a chill down his spine.

Jiraiya violently shaked his head, forcing himself to focus.

"Now is not the time for self-blame! Pull yourself together! You've obtained the strongest sage technique training method from Mount Myoboku. You only need to become stronger — that's all you need to do!"

Gritting his teeth, he realized with startling clarity how wrong he'd been about himself. He'd always believed he wasn't controlled by hatred, but now... Now he knows better.

"Huff..." He takes a deep breath, steeling himself. He can't stay in the Land of Fire any longer. He must evacuate and hide.

With newfound resolve, Jiraiya leaps up, leaving the small forest behind. He moves swiftly towards a small village at the border of the Land of Fire.

About a minute after his departure, another puff of white smoke appears.

Boom!

Yusuke emerges from the smoke, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

"Not bad at concealing your escape. You've completely erased your presence the whole way. Too bad. This kind of technique only works against ordinary jonin pursuers." He shook his head slightly.

In the next instant, his entire form transformed into a bolt of lightning! Then, he vanished without a trace!

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

When he appeared again, he was already in front of his target!

At the edge of a stream, Jiraiya had been using the waterway to erase his traces. However, he never expected all his efforts would be in vain!

There, blocking his only path, Yusuke stood silently!

Jiraiya's face darkened. Looking at the carefully concealed traces behind him, he realized he'd been the fool all along.

"Yusuke Kamizuki!" His voice was filled with anger.

"What's with that angry dog face? Want a bone or something?" Yusuke looked at the furious Toad Man, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

"Yusuke Kamizuki! Tell me! The Great Toad Sage... what happened to them?" Jiraiya demanded.

Yusuke regarded him with composure.

"Jiraiya, you can barely save yourself. Yet you're still worried about those toads?"

Hearing this, uneasiness rose in Jiraiya's heart.

"Elder Fukasaku! Elder Shima? Where are they?" He shouted.

Yusuke nearly facepalmed in disappointment. He knew this man wasn't the brightest, but he hadn't realized to what extent.

"Them? Well, who knows." He spoke sarcastically, shrugging. Then, as if remembering something interesting, he added, "Oh, right."

He pointed at the scroll on the other part's back.

"Don't you have Mount Myoboku's summoning scroll? Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Jiraiya's body began to tremble slightly. If he dared to say this, didn't it mean... the worst had already happened?

"Open it quickly. Don't you want to see for yourself?" Yusuke's face still wore a faint smile.

"You—!" Jiraiya was now furious but dared not speak further.

With trembling hands, he slowly retrieved the summoning scroll from his back. He hadn't dared to open it since leaving Mount Myoboku.

Fear gripped him — fear of witnessing the scene he dreaded most. Now, he had no choice but to look. Yusuke's presence left him no alternative.

"Huff..." Jiraiya took a deep breath, steeling himself.

With shaking fingers, he unrolled the Mount Myoboku summoning scroll.
