Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 182 The Immortal of Ten Thousand Snakes

Upon hearing Minato's words, Jiraiya showed a helpless expression.

This kind of thing...

It was beyond his control.

The relationships between villages involve every aspect of Konoha.

It wasn't something that Jiraiya could decide alone; even Minato, as the Hokage, had to be extremely cautious.

Jiraiya found a chair, sat down, and lay there listlessly.

Jiraiya was driven by a mission to find the prophesied child. Because he did not know who the prophesied child was, he could only search endlessly and dared not stop for a moment.

But as the future became increasingly unclear, the Great Toad Sage, taking advantage of his last moments, risked falling into a deep slumber to clearly glimpse a corner of the future and barely make out the vague prophetic child.

Jiraiya thus found Minato, who matched the description of the prophesied child.

Disciple, blond hair, nine-tailed fox, Konoha headband.

Jiraiya now wants to guide Minato onto the right path and bring peace to the ninja world.

As for the great cycle of natural energy in the ninja world, Jiraiya was powerless to do anything about it. No matter how strong one person is, it is impossible to fight against a large ninja village. At least, Jiraiya could not do it.

"That's all we can do. The changes in the ninja world are happening so fast, it's a bit hard for me to understand."

Jiraiya felt he was falling behind the times; the changes in the ninja world in the past few years were greater than the changes in his entire life.

Natural energy has always been shrouded in mystery and danger, and only a handful of people in any given era could master it.

But now, not only can everyone use Iwagakure, but it has even interfered with the great cycle of natural energy in the ninja world, attempting to turn Iwagakure into the fourth holy land.

"Don't worry, teacher. Konoha will do its best to maintain peace in the ninja world. It won't get to the worst possible situation."

Seeing his teacher's negative expression, Minato offered words of comfort.

……

Hidden Rock Village.

Under the fierce attack of the elite squad assembled by Huang Tu, the summoned beasts of Ryuchi Cave within the Land of Earth were wiped out on a large scale.

Only some cunning and powerful snakes barely survived, while Princess Tianxin never showed herself.

"Honestly, the remaining snakes are getting harder and harder to deal with; they're either very powerful or they've gone into hiding."

Hearing the complaints from the Iwa ninja beside him, Huang Tu felt helpless. "Everyone, hang in there a little longer. The beehive is the foundation for the village's rise, and it absolutely cannot be greatly affected."

Shortly after Huang Tu led the team past a rocky mountain, a bulging rock suddenly burst open, revealing the figure of Wan She.

"The Hive's defenses are getting tighter and tighter, making it increasingly difficult to breach."

Wanshe's cold, serpentine eyes looked towards the place where Huangtu had left. If Huangtu and the others found out, Wanshe's situation would be very dangerous.

If Manda is held back for even a moment, a bunch of Iwa ninja will soon rush over.

Many powerful giant pythons have been killed in this way.

"Also, honey from beehives is not safe."

Wanshe looked distressed, recalling the time she had swallowed all the honey from a beehive and gotten an upset stomach.

If it weren't for Manda's exceptional physical abilities, he might have actually been poisoned to death.

"No, I can't give up like this! I need more honey to promote my body's evolution!"

The ability of the ten thousand snakes to hide in the rocks and not be discovered by the yellow earth is a result of their ability to devour honey.

Manda is considered the pinnacle of Ryuchi-dong because it is strong enough to be a standout among the new generation of Ryuchi-dong members.

The reason why Manda is able to become a top-tier creature is due to its powerful body.

Unlike other snakes that involve some natural energy, Wanshe is racing ahead on the path of increasing its physical strength.

This cannot be said to be a wrong path, but it is just that the path ahead is a bit more difficult.

In the early stages, Manda could use his powerful body to bully others, but there is a limit to how much he can enhance his physical abilities.

Once you reach a certain level, it becomes extremely difficult to increase your strength further, and your power essentially plateaus at a certain level.

Manda hadn't made any progress in a long time, while Shinya could continue to improve by studying natural energy, because Ryuchi Cave had a lot of natural energy, which made Manda very resentful.

Manda also tried to use natural energy, but unfortunately, it had focused all its talents on its body and had no feeling for natural energy at all.

But now Manda has encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a shortcut to using natural energy.

That is to consume honey from the beehive, a harmless natural energy product.

It doesn't matter that Manda has no sense of natural energy, as long as it has its own body. Manda only needs to devour, leaving everything else to its own body.

Body, let me see your limits!

Looking at the beehive not far away, Wanshe's eyes flashed with greed, followed by wariness and hesitation.

Ultimately, the allure of honey prevailed over caution, because Manda had sensed that his body was almost ready to evolve, just a little bit short.

The serpent cautiously swam to the edge of the hive, warily surveying its surroundings.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Wanshe revealed a ferocious smile and attacked the hive directly.

"Enemies ahead! Everyone be careful!"

Just as the Iwagakure sentinel sounded the alarm, Manda had already arrived beside the hive, and with a gentle flick of its tail, it revealed the honey inside.

The giant snake opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the honey whole. Just as the Iwa ninja was about to react and form hand seals to attack, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

All that was left were a bewildered Iwa ninja and the honey that had been completely devoured.

Manda repeated this behavior, consuming a large amount of honey in a short period of time, and was besieged by Iwagakure. It was only with great difficulty that it managed to shake off its pursuers.

The monstrous snakes dared not linger and ran in one breath to a remote, desolate rocky mountain.

The myriad snakes could no longer hold on and stopped. This time, they had reached their limit by consuming the honey. Under the influence of natural energy, all aspects of their bodies had reached their peak.

The snake is about to shed its skin to break this limit, its body curled up into a ball, silently enduring the pain.

Finally, it reached a certain limit, and Manda could no longer hold on, letting out a series of pitiful groans.

At the same time, Zhiyi showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that the first one to be affected would be Wanshe.

Zhiyi was certainly not that kind-hearted; the so-called honey was just bait.

Honey contains a small amount of chakra information, similar to the principle behind Hozuki Mangetsu's demonic water. However, this chakra information is so small that it goes unnoticed, and consuming small amounts of honey has little effect.

However, if a creature consumes a large amount of it, then there is a problem. The small amount of chakra information contained in the consumed honey will be reorganized within the creature's body, and then Shiichi will be reborn within the creature's body, making it a part of himself.

This was originally prepared by Zhiyi for the White Snake Immortal, but Wanshe beat him to it. However, it doesn't matter, Wanshe is also a suitable candidate.

Shiichi used the information of his own chakra within Manda to help him.

With Zhiyi's help, it wasn't long before Wanshe successfully shed its skin, leaving behind a petrified snake-shaped tunnel sculpture.

The ten thousand snakes hissed excitedly, completely unaware that they had fallen into Zhiyi's control.

The rocks on the ground seemed to come alive, with sharp spikes rising from the ground and surrounding the snakes, as if a swarm of snakes were surrounding the snake king.

"From now on, you must call me the Myriad Snake Sage!"
