Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 256 Ten Thousand Snakes: The Natural Energy of Mount Myōboku is Quite Chewy

Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima are diligently transforming the environment of Mount Myōboku, showing no signs of the disheveled state they were in not long ago.

What could be more joyful than finding a new home that is just as good as your old one after becoming a homeless dog?

That is, this new homeland was seized from the territory of a thousand-year-old enemy!

The White Snake Immortal is the foundation of Ryuchi Cave; as long as he lives, Ryuchi Cave will not disappear.

Now, Ryūchi-dong is about to be reborn on Mount Myōboku!

Princess Ichikishima looked at Mount Myōboku, which had been initially transformed, took a deep breath, and a look of joy appeared in her snake eyes.

"This is wonderful. Such a high concentration of natural energy reminds me of when I was still in Ryuchi Cave."

"This is Ryuchi Cave. Mount Myōboku has been occupied by the White Serpent Sage and will soon become the new Ryuchi Cave!"

Princess Tsurugi emphasized it, and then, imitating Princess Ichikishima, it took a deep breath of air, swallowing the natural energy in the air and reveling in it.

"However, I always felt a little uncomfortable at Mount Myoboku."

"I felt it too. I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but something just feels off."

Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima discussed the matter and finally came to a conclusion.

It is the natural energy of Mount Myoboku that subtly repels them.

Therefore, no matter what they do, they will always feel dissatisfied, unlike when they were in Ryuchi Cave, where they could control the natural energy as if it were their own arm.

They didn't have any good solutions, so they could only rely on time to gradually erode Mount Myōboku, change the nature of its natural energy, and make it suitable for snakes to live in.

However, this would take a very long time.

I wonder if the White Snake Immortal can resolve this matter.

In the hearts of Princess Tsutsu and Princess Ichikishima, the White Snake Sage has become even more powerful and almost omnipotent after the Ryuchi Cave was destroyed by the lightning storm.

However, the thought of the human villages of Sunagakure and Iwagakure cast a shadow over their hearts.

They haven't forgotten how Ryuchi Cave was destroyed by a lightning storm.

If humans wanted to eradicate the threat completely, they could throw a lightning storm at the head of New Dragon Cave, which would be disastrous.

Just as Princess Tsutsu and Princess Ichikishima were contemplating the threat posed by humanity and feeling uneasy.

From within the earth's veins of Mount Myoboku, a deafening serpent's roar resounded!

The sound of snakes hissed through the earth, over the mountains, and into the clouds!

That powerful voice carried unparalleled majesty and was full of power, shaking the earth and stirring up the wind and clouds!

Accompanied by rhythmic snake hissing, the earth trembled in a regular pattern, as if a terrifying, enormous prehistoric beast was stirring up trouble!

The grass and trees rustled and trembled, the snakes scattered, and even the sun in the sky seemed to dim a bit.

Besides the overwhelming hissing of snakes, Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima keenly sensed that the natural energy of Mount Myōboku seemed to be encountering a whirlpool funnel, quietly converging towards the direction of Mount Myōboku's ley lines.

"The White Snake Immortal has awakened..."

Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima exchanged a glance, then stopped thinking about Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

This is a problem that the White Snake Immortal should consider; they shouldn't create trouble for themselves.

Soon, all the natural energy of Mount Myōboku was absorbed into the ley lines where Manda was located.

Soon, the myriad serpents leaped out of the earth, their yellow vertical pupils filled with boundless majesty, their bodies radiating surging natural energy, like living ley lines.

"The natural energy of Mount Myoboku contains the spirit of many toads, which is why it has always rejected me and doesn't want me to control the natural energy."

Wan She smacked his lips.

"But it's no use, the outcome is already decided!"

The monstrous serpent chewed up all the natural energy of Mount Myōboku, crushing all the spirits left within it by the toad clan, and then filled the natural energy with its own spirit.

"It's very chewy, and it has a unique flavor."

Then, the monstrous snake opened its blood-red maw and spat out a massive amount of natural energy.

The natural energy expelled by the ten thousand snakes quickly enveloped Mount Myōboku once again.

Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima felt that the natural energy around them was less repulsive and more intimate, just like the natural energy in the original Ryu Ryuu Cave, which they could control as if it were their own limbs.

"Thank you, White Snake Immortal!"

Princess Tsurugi and Princess Ichikishima bowed to Manda in surprise.

The new homeland of the toad clan.

The Great Toad Sage sensed that the connection with Mount Myōboku had become extremely weak, and knew that the White Snake Sage had made his move.

"Alas... Mount Myōboku has come to this."

"I never expected that after the destruction of Dragon Cave, the White Snake Immortal's strength not only did not weaken, but actually increased."

"Is it because they broke free from the shackles of natural energy, achieving a rebirth after destruction? Or have they discovered some incredible secret?"

The Great Toad Sage was also somewhat troubled. Now that it had lost its sacred land and shared the same fate as the White Snake Sage, perhaps it could take this opportunity to explore the secrets of the White Snake Sage.

But the Great Toad Immortal sighed when he thought about his terrible health.

Even if you knew, it wouldn't matter.

Given its current physical condition, it can no longer withstand high-intensity combat.

It fought with that white snake for so long, but in terms of health preservation, it lost.

Prophecy always comes at a price.

"No matter how much natural energy the White Snake Sage collects, it's useless, because even if he collected all the natural energy in the entire ninja world, he would still be no match for the Sage of Six Paths."

"White Snake Immortal, temporary success or failure means nothing; the one who wins in the end is the true winner!"

"I just need to follow the Child of Prophecy, just like I followed the Sage of Six Paths back then, and I will definitely be the final winner."

Shikulin Forest.

The slug sage raised his head and looked in the direction of Mount Myōboku.

"The smell of Mount Myōboku has changed; it's filled with a snakey odor. It seems the White Snake Sage has successfully taken control of Mount Myōboku's natural energy."

"This is not a good thing. The White Serpent Sage, who has obtained the natural energy of Mount Myōboku, is probably no match for even me."

"Next, the White Snake Immortal should come to me to obtain the authority over the natural energy of the ocean, so that he can realize his long-cherished dream of transforming into a dragon."

The slug fairy rolled over and said with a look of utter despair.

It doesn't want to participate in any war; it just wants to sleep peacefully by itself.

However, judging from the White Snake Immortal's behavior, it was a necessary target that could not be bypassed.

As the slug sage prepared to move, its enormous body caused the Wet Bone Forest to tremble, revealing its terrifying power.

But before long, the slug fairy changed to a more comfortable position and lay down again.

"This is so troublesome... Maybe I should just run away like the Great Toad Sage. Anyway, natural energy isn't that important to me."

……

In the Xinlongdi Cave.

A glint of wisdom flashed in Manda's eyes, and Shiki's will descended.

"I have already obtained three-quarters of the natural energy of the ninja world. If I can also obtain the access to the natural energy of the ocean in Shikkotsu Forest, I will be able to harvest the natural energy of the entire ninja world."

"Then, after some time to transform, it will be able to use the natural energy of the entire ninja world to form a Six Paths level life form."

"I just don't know what the Sage of Six Paths' attitude is. But regardless of whether the Sage of Six Paths is willing or not, this is something I'm doing, and I'm determined to get it done!"

"We can't let the Sage of Six Paths jump out and cause trouble at the last minute."

"It seems we need to find something for the Sage of Six Paths to do, so he won't have time for anything else!"

"Orochimaru, I choose you!"
