Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 180 The Reactions of the Three Holy Lands

In the great cycle of natural energy in the ninja world, three major nodes maintain the balance of natural energy and absorb natural energy to maintain the concentration of natural energy in the sacred land.

But suddenly a new node appeared, inserted into the great natural energy cycle of the ninja world.

Like the three sacred lands, it is also absorbing the natural energy of the ninja world, and there is a subtle trend of breaking this balance and establishing a new one.

This node is the location of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) in the Land of Earth.

Thanks to the numerous beehives scattered throughout the Land of Earth, the natural concentration of the land continues to rise. As a result, the honey produced by the Great Bee Sage's clan is also increasing in quality.

Although Shiichi only left 10% of the natural energy to Iwagakure, it still made Onoki grin from ear to ear.

Therefore, sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness. If Onoki knew that Iwagakure only had 10% of the natural energy share despite working so hard, he would definitely lose his appetite and sleep.

Unlike now, they won't fully support the giant honeybee fairy in building more hives.

With the support of the entire Iwagakure village, this man-made natural energy node, though initially small, has been continuously growing, and its influence on the great cycle of natural energy in the ninja world has been deepening.

Natural energy is continuously absorbed into Lord Shiki's Susanoo Sun through the beehive, supporting its further improvement.

This situation immediately drew the attention of the three holy lands, because this behavior had touched upon the very foundations of the three holy lands.

Mt. Miaomu.

The Great Toad Sage, who was in a deep slumber, had no reaction to this at all; this little thing was not enough to affect the Great Toad Sage who was in a deep slumber.

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance, both showing worried expressions.

They had long received a prophecy from the Great Toad Sage that Iwagakure would be involved with natural energy, but they never expected it to be this serious.

Instead of using natural energy, Iwagakure is attempting to transform itself into the fourth sacred site, completely controlling the share of natural energy.

However, the three holy lands have already seized all the natural energy, and what Iwagakure is doing now is to seize the natural energy share from the three holy lands.

What should we do?

To attack Iwagakure and cut off its potential access to natural energy?

Both Fukasaku and Shima showed expressions of helplessness.

This is simply not possible.

"Old man, what do we do now?"

Shima, the hermit, was getting a little anxious as he sensed the natural energy concentration of Mount Myōboku slowly decreasing.

"What else can we do? Let's see how things go. The Great Toad Sage has fallen into a deep sleep. What we need to do now is stabilize Mount Myōboku."

Seeing Shima's anxious expression, Fukasaku comforted him:

"The mission of Mount Myōboku is to find the Child of Prophecy; this is the most important thing."

"If Mount Myōboku were to attack Iwagakure, it would cause alarm throughout the entire ninja world, including Konoha. This would be extremely detrimental to our search for the Child of Prophecy."

"This is no longer the infighting between the original ninja villages; Mount Myōboku is merely playing a supporting role."

"Instead, Mount Myōboku becomes the protagonist, directly engaging in war with Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. This places Mount Myōboku on the opposite side of all the Shinobi Villages, which is different in nature."

"In this situation, even Jiraiya might not be able to help us."

Hearing Fukasaku's words, Shima felt a little unwilling. "What about the children? We can endure it, but not the children."

"Let's bring Jiraiya here too, and see if he can come up with a solution."

Shikulin Forest.

Shikkutsu Forest is the most unique of the three holy sites because there is no other slug or other creature in the entire holy site.

All slugs are clones that split off from the Slug Sage, although these clones like to act young and cute.

The slug sage, who was resting, sensed the emergence of a new node in natural energy. It moved slightly but then stopped reacting.

The emergence of new natural energy nodes did not have a significant impact on the Slug Sage, and even if it did, the Slug Sage did not care.

Longdi Cave.

The White Snake Immortal turned his gaze to the newly appeared node, but his face showed no kindness or gentleness, only coldness and tyranny.

The natural energy of Ryuchi Cave was simply not enough for the White Snake Immortal who wanted to transform into a dragon.

Even if one were to absorb all the natural energy under one's control in one go, it would still be far from enough.

If it weren't for the power of the Great Toad Sage and the Slug Sage that made it wary, the White Snake Sage would have already attacked other sacred lands and monopolized the natural energy of the entire ninja world.

In theory, with the support of the natural energy of an entire planet, the White Snake Immortal could definitely transform into a dragon and become a sixth-level life form.

Now a new node has emerged, constantly plundering the natural energy of the ninja world, and it is showing signs of becoming the fourth sacred land.

This greatly displeased the White Snake Immortal, who then summoned the three great snake maidens.

"For some reason, a new node has appeared in the ninja world, which has caused the natural concentration of the entire Ryuchi Cave to decrease."

The White Snake Immortal exhaled a long puff of smoke and looked at Tianxin Shenji, one of the three great snake princesses.

"Princess Tianxin, go and investigate this new node, then destroy it!"

Upon hearing the White Snake Sage's words, Princess Tianxin was terrified, but she still immediately replied, "Yes, sir! I will definitely destroy this new node!"

The other two snake princesses were secretly overjoyed. If they had had the chance to go to the ninja world before, they would definitely have tried to compete for it.

But this time is different.

Who knows what the new natural energy node is like, or if it's dangerous?

An entity capable of creating new natural energy nodes must be at least on par with the White Snake Immortal; otherwise, it wouldn't dare attempt to create the Fourth Holy Land.

Such beings are no match for them; one wrong move and they could face certain death.

With his ruthless nature, the White Snake Immortal wouldn't risk his life for a subordinate. If a subordinate died, so be it; a replacement would be quick to come.

Perhaps, sending Takoto Shinki to destroy the new natural energy node was a test.

Whether Tianxin Shenji lives or dies is not important; what is important is to expose more information about the new natural energy node and see if there are any other plans behind it.

The White Snake Immortal coldly watched his two subordinates who were constantly gloating.

No rush, you'll all get a share.

After Princess Tianxin died, the remaining two continued to test the waters. Having enjoyed the treatment in Ryuchi Cave for so long, it was time for them to make a proper offering.

Of course, it would be best if Tianxin Shenji could destroy the new natural energy node.

After receiving the order, Princess Tianxin immediately left the White Snake Sage's cave, as she dared not disobey the White Snake Sage's command.

As Tianxin Shenji pondered the methods of artificially creating natural energy nodes, she grew increasingly frightened.

"No, I can't just directly explore the newly emerged natural energy nodes."

Princess Tianxin turned a corner and went straight to Manda's residence.

Although Manda's strength wasn't that great, he was the most prominent figure in Ryuchi Cave in the ninja world, and he had a contract with Orochimaru, so he had some understanding of the ninja world.

He's a perfect scapegoat!

"Manda, the White Snake Sage has ordered that the newly emerged natural energy node must be destroyed. Go to the ninja world and investigate the situation."

Princess Tianxin directly issued an order to Manda.

Ryuchi Cave has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected. Princess Tenshin felt no remorse for using Manda as a scapegoat; on the contrary, she thought it was only natural.

"This is an order from the White Snake Sage, isn't it?!"

Although Manda was asking a question, his tone was very firm.

It was clearly not stupid; it was well aware of its own position. Let alone the White Snake Immortal giving it orders, it was questionable whether he would even remember it.

"Yes, this is now an order for you."

Princess Tianxin wasn't embarrassed at all and readily admitted it.

Faced with the powerful Goddess of the Heavenly Heart, Manda still yielded and agreed to her demands.

But a pair of malevolent eyes kept flashing, clearly plotting a notoriously bad scheme.
