<><><><><><>

Walking on the surface of the sea, Asahi silently felt the depth of the ocean. 

Although the world of shinobi was just a lower-level world, even so, Asahi still couldn't fully perceive the vastness of the ocean.

However, he found that if he used his divine sense to perceive the underwater world, it would quickly drain his spiritual power. 

Practicing in this way could effectively temper his spiritual power. 

Therefore, Asahi didn't rush on his journey but instead moved slowly, consciously honing his spiritual power.

As Asahi was slowly moving northward, his expression suddenly changed. 

His divine sense detected a tremendous energy fluctuation emanating from the sea area beneath him. 

It was a massive creature, and Asahi's previous divine sense had already disturbed it.

So, the creature reacted immediately, and a terrifying tremor emanated from the seabed. 

It was obvious to anyone with a brain that this was an attack from an unknown sea creature. 

Faced with the attack of the colossal creature, Asahi chose not to counterattack immediately. He wanted to see what this creature was.

There were still secrets in the ninja world waiting to be discovered. So, he simply used Flash Step to instantly move away from the spot. 

Of course, even if Asahi wanted to counterattack, by the time his attack reached the seabed, it probably wouldn't have much effect.

Less than two seconds after Asahi left, a water pillar, several dozen meters in diameter and tens of meters high shot up into the sky from where he had been. 

The powerful force of the water pillar stirred up the entire ocean.

Such a huge water pillar with such power would have surely met a dire end if it had hit a human. 

Watching the turbulent waves caused by this water pillar striking the ocean, Asahi furrowed his brow with seriousness.

Launching an attack from thousands of meters underwater, and still having such power even after being slowed down by the resistance of the seawater – this unknown creature was not simple. 

But it made sense. With such a massive size and the terrifying energy fluctuations it emitted, it was not something an ordinary creature could possess.

Closing his eyes and focusing his mind, Asahi directly swept his divine sense into the depths of the ocean, wanting to explore the full appearance of this unknown creature. 

As Asahi's divine sense probed, the creature seemed to be provoked and swiftly approached the sea surface.

Asahi's expression changed. 

Although he hadn't fully discerned what kind of creature it was, based solely on its massive size and terrifying energy fluctuations, it was not something easy to deal with. 

Moreover, being sensitive to divine sense meant this creature also had divine sense.

But don't forget, the world of shinobi was a world with a flawed cultivation system. 

Coupled with the suppression of the laws on the creatures of this world, unless it reached the level of the Six Paths, or found another way, divine sense was a legendary existence.

Of course, if one could maintain the state of Sage Mode continuously, it was also possible to develop divine sense. 

However, although this path was slightly simpler than breaking through to the level of the Six Paths, it was still extremely difficult. 

So, Asahi had enough reason to suspect that this underwater creature was a Six Paths-level existence.

However, if there is still a Six Paths-level creature in the ninja world, why hasn't it been mentioned in the original work? 

Moreover, even if this is a secret of the ninja world, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths, should have heard of it. 

After all, he was the first to notice when Asahi broke through.

But despite communicating with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki so much, Asahi hadn't heard him mention this unknown creature at all. 

This could only mean that even Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki wasn't aware of the existence of this creature. 

Did it evade Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's sensing, or was there another reason?

Asahi contemplated in his mind, but he didn't wait in place for the underwater creature's attack. Instead, he floated directly in mid-air. 

Since this was a marine creature, he would deal with it from above. If it lacked long-range attacks, Asahi didn't mind being a live target.

Of course, although the ability to fly was precious in the ninja world, for Asahi at the moment, physical flight was not difficult at all. 

He didn't have the kind of body size as the unknown creature, so it was simple for him as a Six Paths-level being to overcome gravity.

Moreover, even without breaking through to the Six Paths level, various bizarre ninjutsu techniques could accomplish it. 

After all, among the numerous ninjutsu techniques rewarded by the system, most of the ninja world's techniques were included. 

Although there weren't any S-rank techniques that Asahi received reward, there were still many invaluable techniques.

Asahi had already figured out this so-called system; it was just a large-scale repository of knowledge. 

It was just that for him, this repository had the function of transferring experiences. 

Floating in mid-air, Asahi stared at the sea surface with a somewhat serious expression.

Although the area of the sea where the unknown creature was located was very deep, he could feel that the sea creature was rapidly approaching the sea surface. 

Moreover, under the buoyancy of the ocean, its speed was once again enhanced.

Boom!

With a splash, a huge body leaped out of the water in an instant. With unparalleled impact, it charged towards Asahi. 

With its already massive size combined with the sudden attack, Asahi didn't have time to observe its full appearance and could only see its deep blue skin.

Gathering his strength, energy surged within Asahi's body. There were no flashy moves; of course, against a creature of this size, flashy moves were useless. 

Asahi threw a punch at the massive body of the sea creature. 

Asahi's fist seemed slow, but from the distorted space around it, it was evident that this punch was far from simple.

Thud!

Above the already noisy sea, a dull rumble suddenly resounded. 

This sound was formed by the collision between Asahi's fist and the massive body of the sea creature. 

The stark contrast between Asahi's tiny body and the gigantic one before him was striking.

It was as if an ant had bravely withstood a punch from a human, leaving the viewer extremely shocked.

"*Roar!!!*"

As Asahi's fist hammered the sea creature, it let out a deafening roar. 

Although it wasn't injured, the penetrating force of Asahi's fist caused immense pain within its body.
