In the original work, just the various types of senjutsu chakra alone posed a great threat to the Ōtsutsuki clan when combined with the Six Paths mode.
Then what if it was pure senjutsu energy, condensed entirely from nature?
Keh keh keh~
Isn't Momoshiki the one who loves absorbing ninjutsu the most?
Come, and absorb my senjutsu and see how it tastes!
My luck seems to be getting better and better lately!
Kei glanced at the increasingly deep blue fortune energy surrounding him. While his luck was still strong, he immediately used the two extraction chances he had just obtained.

[Obtained:
- Hard Landing (Gray)
- Overtime Karen (Gray)]
[Hard Landing (Gray):
The earth's love is always so heavy. When jumping from any height, the failure probability of slow-fall techniques, foot slipping, stepping into thin air, getting winded, and muscle cramps will significantly increase; the probability of bone fractures will slightly increase.]
[Overtime Karen (Gray):
Even if the world explodes, Karen never takes a break. Under the influence of mysterious forces, except for seven days in the middle of the month, for the rest of the time, the target's blood loss will not drop below 20 milliliters per day, accompanied by abdominal pain, backache, chills, fatigue, emotional instability, and various other negative states.]

"A negative times a negative equals positive? Who the hell has this kind of luck?"
Kei's expression was hard to describe. He really didn't expect his words to come back and slap him so quickly.
Just a moment ago, he was saying his luck was great, and now he got two gray-tier traits? But for him, gray-tier traits often seemed to be more useful than white-tier ones. At the very least, when giving them away, the target selection would definitely be broader than with white-tier traits.
[Hard Landing] was perfect for those ninjas who loved jumping around at high places all the time. If their bodies were tough enough, they could "land hard." If not, well… break enough bones, and they'd just die.
[Overtime Karen] wasn't bad either. Next time he saw Tsunade, he could just gift it to her.
Speaking of which, Tsunade was already over fifty, right? Had she hit menopause yet? If she had, and then suddenly started bleeding again, would she think she had some kind of terminal illness?
Wait a second… The trait only mentioned mysterious forces causing blood loss—it didn't specify where the blood would come from!
"Oh my god—!" Kei glanced down at his lower body, shuddering from head to toe.
If this were a man… wouldn't he start questioning his entire existence?!
After finishing the trait extraction, heglanced at the system interface, formed a hand seal with one hand, and expanded his perception to the maximum range.
Thanks to [Yin-Yang Sage Master]'s passive Sage Mode enhancement and the refinement of his powerful spiritual energy, within a 20-kilometer radius, all chakra reactions instantly flooded into his mind.
Tens of thousands of chaotic chakra signals made him furrow his brows slightly.
These chakra reactions included not only the chakra auras of various ninja but also those of summoning beasts, chakra-infused tools, explosive tags, puppets, and the ninjutsu they released.
Fortunately, [Seeker of Origins] enhanced his comprehension, analytical ability, and insight. If it were an ordinary sensory ninja, they would probably be completely overwhelmed by this massive amount of chaotic information.
Within his perception, about five kilometers away, outside the Konoha camp, Jiraiya, fighting at full power, was up against an extremely tall and burly Iwa ninja who seemed to be the son of Ōnoki—Kitsuchi.
Although Jiraiya was stronger, the Iwa ninjas were masters of group combat. With several elite ninjas assisting Kitsuchi, it was impossible to determine the outcome in a short time.
Before heading to the battlefield, Minato had prepared fifty specially-made Flying Thunder God kunai. Now, these kunai were scattered across different corners of the battlefield.
He continuously used the Flying Thunder God Technique to assist Konoha's ninjas, barely holding off the attacks from the forces coming from both the east and west.
Four large, battle-scarred toads stood guard on either side of the camp, looking as if they couldn't hold on much longer.
The Suna Puppet Brigade had already advanced to within five hundred meters of Konoha's southern camp while Kei and Rasa were engaged in battle.
Due to Rasa's large-scale Magnet Release techniques and Pakura's wide-range Scorch Release attacks,
The Konoha ninjas, realizing they were being flanked, quickly abandoned their plan to retreat backward.
In the chaotic shouts of battle, they reorganized, regaining their footing and consolidating their strength.
"Over a thousand Suna ninjas on the west side, about two thousand Iwa ninjas on the east side, and the mixed Puppet Brigade and regular Suna forces on the south side... over five hundred..."
Kei pursed his lips and roughly estimated the enemy's numbers on the battlefield.
Iwa and Suna had sent a total of over four thousand ninja—not because they lacked manpower, But because the Konoha camp was only so large.
Two villages that had previously been wary and even hostile toward each other had temporarily joined forces due to shared interests.
However, fighting together in such a confined space meant that if they sent too many people, it could lead to command chaos. At that point, the so-called alliance would crumble instantly.
The reason they heavily surrounded the southern side while reducing the number of enemies in the west and leaving the northwest completely open was also a testament to Ōnoki's cunning.
Facing enemies several times their own numbers and with no reinforcements, the Konoha ninjas would have no choice but to break through. Anyone familiar with military strategy understood the principle of leaving an "escape route."
By deliberately leaving the northern path open, Konoha's ninjas would see a glimmer of hope for survival, subtly weakening their fighting spirit.
Since Suna had fewer forces on the west side compared to Iwa in the east, under normal circumstances, the Konoha ninjas would naturally attempt to break out toward the northwest.
That direction led straight to Ame.
Even if some managed to escape, under continuous pursuit from Iwa and Suna, how many would actually make it back to Konoha?
Not total annihilation, but close enough. Such a scheme was obvious to Kei, who had a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield.
Jiraiya, Minato, and other elite strategists had likely figured it out as well. However, if they forcibly ordered the Konoha ninjas to break south instead, it might immediately strike fear into the hearts of the less resolute, causing a collapse in morale.
Even if Jiraiya and the others used their personal influence to force a southern breakthrough, and even if they somehow succeeded in escaping, both Suna and Konoha would suffer severe losses.
Defeating Konoha's thousand-strong unit while also crippling Suna's Puppet Brigade? No matter how you looked at it, Ōnoki was winning with no losses.
Rasa, oh Rasa! What the hell is in that brain of yours? Vegetables?! And you call yourself the Kazekage? Just go back to mining already! Kei cursed internally.
Whether it was due to arrogance or something else, the fact remained—Rasa had fallen into Ōnoki's trap!
Losing five hundred men might seem like a minor setback now, but after the battle, no matter what the outcome, Suna's losses would be far greater than Iwa's.
Turning his gaze northeast, about seven kilometers away in the night sky, he saw Ōnoki standing in mid-air with his arms behind his back, accompanied by two subordinates who appeared to be sensory-type ninja.
They were silently observing the battlefield near Konoha's camp.
Even though he knew the old man's main goal was to train Kitsuchi while providing him backup, and also to be on guard against unexpected variables,
Once he saw that Konoha's reinforcements were closing in from the rear, there was no way he would just stand by and do nothing.
Should I take him out?
Kei's eyes narrowed slightly as he rapidly weighed the pros and cons.
