Following a mysterious intuition.
Motomu pulled two purple longswords from the void with a sudden grip.
His chakra erupted.
An X-shaped sword wave, several dozen feet long, severed the stone spikes on all sides, the slash heading straight for the White Snake Sage's face.
*Boom!*
Amidst the earth-shattering roar.
The base of the tower built atop the Dragon Vein was sliced open without resistance.
The residual force of the exploding sword qi remained unabated, blasting a massive hole.
The tower's foundation became unstable, tilting and collapsing toward the breach.
The purple giant swung both swords horizontally, the resulting gale from the blades dispersing the dust.
The White Snake Sage stood in place, completely unchanged.
Only a few sliced stone walls served as evidence of the previous attack.
Motomu dispelled the Susanoo and clenched his fists, recovering from the impact of the Dragon Vein's chakra.
Although he didn't know the side effects of the Dragon Vein's chakra, it had come to this; he and the White Snake Sage had to fight to the death.
Side effects, Mangekyo issues—those could only be resolved if he survived.
Now, it was either his death or the White Snake Sage's.
Chakra from the Dragon Vein flowed continuously, instantly replenishing all the energy he had just spent.
Feeling the empowerment of the Dragon Vein and the expanded chakra capacity of his Mangekyo.
Motomu understood that it was time to unleash the full psychokinetic power of his Big Eyeball.
The full psychokinetic explosion of a five-meter diameter Big Eyeball was no joke.
Nearly a thousand tons of psychokinetic force.
While still far from the power of Shinra Tensei that could crush the Hidden Leaf Village into a massive crater.
It was enough to level the surface of Loulan.
His Heart floated within the Dragon Vein, absorbing chakra.
Motomu, who had never fought with such abundant resources, used psychokinesis to lift himself slowly into the air.
He couldn't fight the White Snake Sage inside Loulan; too many civilians, the Dragon Vein seal, and Yamanaka Kazama, who was waiting to invite him to a wedding, were all constraints that held him back.
In the sea of sand, a forest of yellowish-brown thorns pursued the black speck ahead relentlessly.
Accelerated by psychokinesis, Motomu turned into a blur, easily dodging all the White Snake Sage's attacks.
The eccentric and prideful White Snake Sage, seeing that she couldn't take down Motomu, stopped hiding her strength.
At the front of the chasing sand waves, the Great White Snake revealed her true form.

As the system notification sounded, a massive sand wall rose in an arc before Motomu, blotting out the sky.
The curved sand wall obscured his vision, forming a hemispherical barrier.
The desert within a one-kilometer radius was enveloped.
Seeing this, Motomu stopped his retreat.
Focusing his gaze on the White Snake's body, he clenched his massive psychokinetic hands.
But before he could exert force.
With a crash, a curtain of sand raised by the White Snake Sage blocked Motomu's line of sight, interrupting the technique.
'She noticed?'
It seemed the opponent had realized through multiple ambushes that psychokinesis required focus to activate.
'Then how about this?'
Backed by the vast chakra of the Dragon Vein, Motomu remained calm and activated his right eye's Mangekyo ability.
As the battle progressed, sparks of wisdom collided in Motomu's mind.
As the saying goes, there are no useless abilities, only useless users.
Tool Manipulation.
So, what exactly can be defined as a ninja tool?
The answer wasn't clear.
But while fleeing earlier, Motomu had secretly tested and discovered something.
Psychokinesis could actually be controlled by Tool Manipulation.
It was like finding the final puzzle piece for his psychokinesis.
Psychokinesis, which originally could only be released through focused attention, could now finally be unleashed across infinite distances and beyond his field of vision.
As long as that portion of psychokinetic force was being directed by Tool Manipulation!
'I lack nothing now!'
Visual power was consumed, and blood streamed from Motomu's eyes.
The massive psychokinetic hand that had vanished after being blocked by the White Snake Sage reappeared.
Under the disbelieving gaze of the White Snake Sage, who had lowered her guard.
The psychokinetic hand launched a sudden ambush, gripping tightly.
A hundred tons of psychokinetic force were released, instantly draining Motomu's internal chakra reserves.
"Heh, I thought you were strong, but is this all you've got?"
A hundred tons of psychokinetic force acting on the White Snake Sage's massive body was practically insignificant.
Just as the White Snake Sage was about to break free.
The stalled psychokinetic power suddenly began to surge!
Purple chakra from the Dragon Vein seeped from Motomu's orifices.
The chakra within Motomu's body cycled continuously between being drained and replenished!
Under this constant supply of chakra, the psychokinetic force grew.
It surpassed a hundred tons and kept climbing.
The stats of the Big Eyeball, finally freed from its master's limitations, revealed their true potential.
The sand curtain created by Inorganic Reincarnation collapsed.
Sunlight shone through the gap in the sky.
Motomu became a heartless chakra ATM for the Big Eyeball, with a thousand tons of psychokinetic force clashing evenly against the White Snake Sage's defensive Inorganic Reincarnation.
Neither side had the ability to end the fight in one blow, and they gradually fell into a stalemate.
Maintaining the psychokinetic chakra supply, Motomu slowly accumulated enough for a Great Fireball.
He closed in and released the Fire Style.
A five-meter fireball slammed into the White Snake.
Having a face full of fire, the uninjured White Snake Sage looked indifferent.
"Come again, brat. No matter where you borrowed that chakra from, all chakra has its limit."
"But natural energy is infinite. Between the two of us, you'll definitely be the one to die first!"
"Hehe!"
*Swoosh!*
*Clap!*
A kunai struck the White Snake's forehead and was deflected by the scales.
Unfazed, Motomu pulled out another kunai, aiming for the White Snake's eyes and nostrils.
"You're asking for death!"
*Swoosh!*
*Clap!*
It was deflected again.
In the desert, the sea of sand churned as clangs and clinks rang out incessantly.
"Brat! Don't you want to know where my two subordinates went?"
"Hehe!"
*Swoosh!*
*Clap!*
A shuriken that almost flew into the White Snake Sage's mouth was deflected.
"They've gone to kill your summoned beast!"
"Oh. If she's dead, she's dead. I'll just slaughter you to avenge her."
"Once they finish off your summon, they'll head right over."
Motomu pretended not to care about Cobra but paused for a moment.
"Is that so? Tell them to come to our battlefield. If they dare show their faces, I'll slaughter them first."
"You know my abilities. They'll be dead the moment we meet."
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Taking another fireball, the White Snake Sage fell silent again.
It was true.
Against this guy's bizarre abilities, only it could withstand the pressure within Ryuchi Cave.
Three days passed.
In the desert, the two remained in a stalemate.
Except now, there was a black snake beside Motomu.
This black snake was Cobra.
Cobra spat out a dinner bento prepared by Anko.
Reclining comfortably on a folding lawn chair under a beach umbrella, Motomu opened the food box and began to sample the meal.
Seeing Motomu eating, Cobra nodded and dispelled the summoning.
"White Snake Sage, where are those two subordinates you mentioned?"
"Could they even catch up with my summon?"
