Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 247 The Tragic Encounter at Ryuchi Cave

"What a terrifying attack! This kind of attack... has exceeded the limits of ordinary people!"

"The Sand Village's ability to control natural disasters is terrifying!"

"If this kind of attack happened in Iwagakure, wouldn't we all be dead?"

Many Iwa ninja were terrified and even found it incomprehensible that Sunagakure had such an ability to control natural disasters.

Fortunately, Sunagakure is now an ally of our village, so we don't have to worry about such a terrifying weapon falling on us for the time being.

However, their fear of nature still made them tremble with fear and restless.

The Sand Ninja, on the other hand, looked proud. Yes, we Sand Ninja are just that strong.

"Tesla, you should have brought out such a powerful weapon sooner, so that we wouldn't have had such a difficult time fighting the White Snake Sage."

"It's not as easy as you make it out to be. If it were that easy to start, I would have started it already."

Tesla remained calm and continued.

"How about it? Is this trump card powerful enough?"

"That's strong!"

Onoki nodded solemnly.

This thing is far more intimidating than the Tailed Beasts.

He was so frightened that he regretted not agreeing to the conditions proposed by the White Snake Immortal to save his life.

"Of course it's stronger, it's traded for resources!"

"This one attack alone consumed at least three months' worth of resources from Sunagakure!"

"I killed Ryuchi-dong by burying him in money!"

Tesla sounded very dissatisfied, as if he had lost a lot of money.

Just by looking at the two emaciated tailed beasts inside the magnetic reactor, one can understand the price Sunagakure paid.

The weather controller is powerful, but it consumes too many resources.

Even the tailed beasts were completely drained, leaving not a trace of chakra except for the most basic necessities for survival.

The separated One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed creatures were almost reabsorbed by the main body's instinct to replenish its chakra.

For the next three months, Sunagakure will likely have to tighten its belt.

Ohnoki breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Tesla's words.

The price is too high.

If the cost isn't high, wouldn't we be doomed?

If Sunagakure could unleash a lightning storm every day, no faction could withstand such a gamble.

"Don't worry, Iwagakure will provide some compensation to Sunagakure."

Onoki offered Tesla a word of comfort.

Sunagakure Village contributed greatly to the attack on Ryuchi Cave and deserves more compensation.

While Tesla was talking to Onoki, the lightning storm had come to an end.

As the last streak of azure lightning fell, the natural disaster came to an end.

"It's over. Let's go into Ryuchi Cave and take another look. If the White Snake Sage isn't dead, then we'll lend a hand."

Tesla took the lead and was the first to enter Ryuji Cave.

The effects of the lightning storm were very pleasing.

The giant snakes that lived in Ryuchi Cave either turned into blood or became charred remains; in short, none of them survived.

Birds have vanished from the mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from every path!

This refers to Ryongji-dong as it is today.

Those remaining mountains were shattered into pieces by lightning, with only the parts connected to the earth remaining; the rest had been blown away by the terrifying storm to who knows where.

The earth's topography was permanently altered, as if melted by the intense heat of lightning, turning into a molten lava-like fluid before cooling down.

Just by looking at the mountains shattered by the lightning storm and the terrain that has been extensively altered and painted over, you can tell how exaggerated the weather controller is.

"Truly breathtaking!"

Onoki spoke slowly.

This scene left a deep impression on him, comparable only to the time he faced Madara Uchiha.

"That's normal. Every village has its own strengths. Isn't your Infinite Sage Art: Dust Release a bit over the top? If used well, it can wipe out the entire ninja force of a village! And it can be used repeatedly! If you start a guerrilla war, many villages won't be able to sleep at night."

Onoki and Tesla walked to the temple of the White Snake Sage, which was the center of the lightning storm and the place that bore the most of its power.

A charred, cracked snake body lay coiled up, motionless, as if it had lost all life.

"Tsk... They're not completely dead even after all that. The vitality of immortals is truly terrifying."

Tesla looked at the white snake immortal in front of him and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

A labored, mournful cry emanated from the charred, hideous, and ugly snake's body.

Speak like a human.

"Yes... I lost. I am willing to surrender and tell you all the magic techniques of Ryuchi Cave. I can also give up the natural energy."

"These conditions are very attractive."

Just as hope appeared in the eyes of the White Snake Sage, Onoki shattered his hopes.

"But how can snakes be trusted?"

Do you believe it?

"I don't believe you, what about you?"

"I don't believe it either."

Tesla walked up to the White Snake Sage and punched him.

The balance that the White Snake Immortal had been trying to maintain was broken, and the cracks on his body continued to spread until they covered his entire body.

"Humans, you will regret this!"

After letting out a final, unwilling roar, the White Snake Immortal fell silent, completely losing the breath of life.

"The corpse of the White Snake Sage is excellent material; consider it compensation for Sunagakure."

Tesla pointed to the corpse of the White Snake Immortal.

"The White Snake Sage is connected to natural energy, and his corpse should rightfully be a trophy of Iwagakure. Iwagakure will compensate Sunagakure for its losses."

Onoki argued that he did not want to give up the body of the White Snake Sage.

As for money, Iwagakure is not short of money now.

The honey produced by the people of the giant honeybee fairy clan is not used entirely for making bee pellets.

Another portion was sold to powerful figures in various countries.

As for how much it will cost?

It's very simple: improve physical health, prolong life, and maintain youthful appearance. With these three effects, there's no doubt that powerful figures from all countries will be tempted.

Of course, this is not untrue. For ordinary people, honey, which contains gentle natural energy, is a treasure.

Thanks to the honey, Iwagakure Village gained a large amount of funds and received the full support of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

Just as Tesla and Onoki were grappling with each other and fighting for their interests, the ground suddenly began to twitch.

"Oh no, it's inorganic rebirth! Retreat!"

Tesla shouted.

After being reminded by Tesla, Onoki also noticed the anomaly and thought it was the White Snake Sage's desperate attempt to take people down with him.

Then, he unleashed a powerful burst of chakra and flew into the sky, away from the corpse of the White Snake Sage.

Just as the two left the corpse of the White Snake Immortal, the Ten Thousand Snakes suddenly leaped out of the earth of the Dragon Cave and swallowed the White Snake Immortal's body whole.

"Damn it! It's Orochimaru's summoning beast!"

When Ohnoki saw this, his eyes turned red.

Manda frequently wreaks havoc in the Land of Earth, stealing and devouring large quantities of honey, and constantly roaming around, causing great suffering to Iwagakure.

Now they've even stolen the spoils from Iwagakure! It's a perfect example of settling old and new scores at once!

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"

Just as Onoki was gathering his Dust Release technique, ready to launch it...

But very quickly, very quickly!

The ten thousand snakes then disappeared underground.

Tesla finally arrived late, looked around at the surrounding land, and said helplessly:

"Looks like there's no point in fighting anymore, since the spoils have disappeared."

Seeing this, Onoki had no choice but to disperse the gathered dust.
