"Humans have limits. Even if you become as strong as Hagoromo, you won't live long. If you're willing to remove my seal, I can truly give you immortality." Satoru tried to exchange sincerity with Mokgetsu.
Satoru was not lying; its sole achievable wish was to grant eternal life.
People assimilated by it might not gain its immense vitality, but unless they are killed, their lifespan wouldn't be much inferior.
"You can sleep now and fulfill your wish in your dreams." Mokgetsu directly refused.
If he truly wanted a longer life, the best method would be to continue developing his golden touch; the next option would be to collaborate with Orochimaru, not with this inhuman monster Satoru.
Next, as Satoru, unable to defeat Mokgetsu, began to lay low, Mokgetsu discovered that Satoru, this old thing's memory was almost all lost with no valuable information, so he continued studying Fuinjutsu.
Though the seal used on Satoru wasn't the same type as the Yang Seal he intended to develop, it was nevertheless a sealing technique personally cast by the Six Paths Sage. Through analogical thinking, it could improve his proficiency in Fuinjutsu.
"Box of Bliss, please help me heal my injuries..."
At this harmonious moment, the urgent voice of Yokokawa Tsutomu echoed into the Box of Bliss.
Satoru wasn't prepared to help Yokokawa Tsutomu, nor did he have the ability to support him, but he sensed a Ninja with decent Chakra at the door.
Just as Satoru prepared to drag Ryuhi at the entrance into the Box of Bliss, two streaks of blade light slashed onto Satoru, cutting him into three parts and disrupting his spell.
Satoru looked at Mokgetsu with a face of anger; even Otsutsuki Hagoromo had never humiliated him like this.
Mokgetsu ignored Satoru; this old thing was too useless, pure harmful trash, leaving it in the world would only waste food with no use.
When Mokgetsu felt he learned almost enough about Fuinjutsu, he directly used the Flying Thunder God to leave the Box of Bliss.
Whoosh!
Swoosh!
When Mokgetsu appeared above Yokokawa Tsutomu, he immediately swung Enma, severing the arm Yokokawa Tsutomu used to hold Ryuhi.
The sudden intense pain caused Yokokawa Tsutomu to instinctively turn back.
Upon seeing Mokgetsu's face, an expression of utter horror instantly appeared.
Although he had only exchanged two moves with Mokgetsu, Mokgetsu demonstrated overwhelming strength. If not for Mokgetsu's punch injuring him, he couldn't have been beaten so miserably by Kakashi and others.
"Box, why did you release Habu Mokgetsu? Quickly imprison him back in the box." Yokokawa Tsutomu pleaded to the Box of Bliss.
Satoru inside the box sneered, imprison him in the box to chop him? You silly puppet, dreaming again.
Satoru ignored Yokokawa Tsutomu; this time, its resurrection was evidently a failure. With Mokgetsu present, Yokokawa Tsutomu couldn't stir up any waves.
Mokgetsu didn't waste words with Yokokawa Tsutomu; he grabbed Yokokawa Tsutomu and tossed him into the Main Grass Village District.
The residents scattered and fled at the sight of the terrifying monster, while Mokgetsu gripped Enma tightly, unleashing massive Lightning Attribute Chakra and wielded the true Thoughtless Slash.
BOOM!
CRACK!
Purple electrical light soared into the sky, and in the next instant, a giant purple lightning slash enveloped Yokokawa Tsutomu.
Under Mokgetsu's powerful strike, Yokokawa Tsutomu instantly turned into black ash, while the slash's momentum didn't diminish, striking the ground and leaving a charred ravine over thirty meters long.
The surrounding villagers of Grass Village stared at Mokgetsu, who seemed like a deity, with their mouths agape.
Some people even thought they were dreaming and rubbed their eyes vigorously. Upon seeing no change in the scene, they realized this was reality.
"That's a Konoha Ninja Headband." As residents of a Ninja Village, some people knew a bit about Ninja matters.
"Why is a Konoha ninja in Grass Village killing a monster?" The people of Grass Village felt puzzled.
Out of nowhere, on a perfectly good day, a disgusting monster appeared. Although the monster was quickly killed, the killer was not a ninja from Grass Village but a ninja from Konoha of the neighboring great nation.
"Still need more practice." Witnessing Mokgetsu's Thoughtless Slash again, Kakashi's desire for cultivation surged.
Compared to Mokgetsu's slash, his own slash was nowhere near worthy of the name Thoughtless Slash; the power wasn't on the same level at all.
If he truly mastered Thoughtless Slash, Yokokawa Tsutomu wouldn't have survived under his one strike, because Yokokawa Tsutomu's defense wasn't strong. Even Ryuhi's Fire Release could injure him, let alone Thoughtless Slash.
"Damn, why does Fire Attribute feel pretty useless?" Obito watched Mokgetsu bathed in lightning with great envy.
Upon further reflection, Obito realized the Fire Attribute was indeed lacking.
He couldn't recall witnessing a Fire Release Ninjutsu above B-level; the highest seemed to be B-level.
Powerful as Sage Mokgetsu, he also didn't seem to have S-level Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Might Guy, who trained in Taijutsu, has the Eight Gates and Golden Horizon, and Lightning Attribute Kakashi has the compelling combination of elegance and power with Thoughtless Slash.
Instantly, Obito felt he and Shisui had suffered because of their Chakra Attributes; this Fire Attribute was simply not good enough, lacking powerful skills and feeling inferior.
"Should I start learning other Nature Transformations?" Shisui began considering enriching his Nature Transformations, learning more abilities.
He believed, given his learning ability, mastering Lightning Attribute Chakra Nature Changes shouldn't be slow.
"If the new age's Blazing Sun Mokgetsu is this strong, what terrifying strength must The Sannin of Konoha possess, and that Third Hokage..." Ryuhi deeply felt the horror of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Even if fortunate enough to produce a powerful figure like Hanzo, the profound heritage of the Five Great Ninja Villages was enough to crush ordinary Ninja Villages; the gap between them was vast.
"In terms of overall strength, Captain Mokgetsu might be above Minato." Nara Suzaku compared Namikaze Minato and Mokgetsu, reaching a conclusion.
He had experienced missions with Namikaze Minato before, and had a certain understanding of Minato's strength.
Though Namikaze Minato could kill ordinary Ninjas as easily as cutting vegetables, Minato couldn't unleash slashes as powerful as Mokgetsu, nor did he have Ninjutsu with similar might.
Compared to Mokgetsu, Namikaze Minato was too specialized.
"If the Second Hokage knew the future has such excellent successors, he ought to feel quite gratified." Watching Mokgetsu use Flying Thunder God combined with slashes recklessly, Maruboshi Kosuke thought.
Throughout Maruboshi Kosuke's ninja career, he had seen many Ninjas who could be called geniuses, but comparing them to Mokgetsu would make them pale.
He had seen stronger Ninjas than Mokgetsu, but had not seen anyone of Mokgetsu's age being stronger than the current Mokgetsu.
After Mokgetsu slayed Yokokawa Tsutomu, changes emerged in the Box of Bliss; the mask's widely-opened mouth rapidly closed and tightened, and the Box of Bliss resealed itself.
Feeling the change in the Box of Bliss, Mokgetsu flickered to appear in front of the Box of Bliss.
"When closed, is it equivalent to isolating space?" Mokgetsu pondered with a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, he couldn't enter the Box of Bliss's interior using Flying Thunder God as before.
However, this was different from the incident with Naruto; Mokgetsu could sense the Flying Thunder God Mark he left inside the Box of Bliss, feeling that with some effort, he might have a way to enter again.
Of course, since Satoru, this old trash, had no value, and the internal sealing techniques were already examined, Mokgetsu wasn't likely to waste time on this for now.
"Satoru, you're too dangerous, you must be sealed." Mokgetsu thought for a moment, then added a layer of Circulation Seal onto the surface of the Box of Bliss in reverse.
Though in his hands Satoru seemed like a small fry, its true body was actually quite strong; it's just that Mokgetsu happened to restrain it, making Satoru seem utterly weak.
If one day Satoru's true body were released, relying on its bizarre abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to incite chaos that affects several countries.
The Six Paths Sage's seal mainly acts within the box; his Circulation Seal can isolate Satoru's powers. Even if someone attempts to sacrifice Chakra to Satoru, it wouldn't receive Chakra; thus, it couldn't exert the power of assimilation.
Having handled the Box of Bliss, Mokgetsu began dealing with the matters of Grass Village and Hidden Rock.
