Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 272 The Light of the Blue Lantern

"Lava Release: Lava World Technique!"

The white mist instantly transformed into a highly corrosive viscous liquid, forming a massive barrier that enveloped the incoming Wood Release, attempting to halt its attack.

The slime adheres to trees, vines, and flowers, constantly corroding everything it touches and making a hissing sound.

Wood Release also revealed its terrifying side, forcefully extracting chakra even from highly corrosive slime.

Even when they reach their limit and are completely corroded by the slime, the trees and vines do not stop absorbing it; however, the corroded part is replaced by newly grown parts.

The highly corrosive slime hindered the Wood Release's attack, slowing its spread.

But in the end, Wood Release prevailed, and Wood Release twisted and struggled to break free from the slime, moving forward again in all directions.

As the Wood Release technique spread, Mei Terumi felt an immense threat; death was approaching step by step along with the spreading trees!

Although Danzo's Wood Release technique looked strange, the tree and vines were pitch black and gray, thick but always exuding a sense of death, yet also faintly possessing a strange vitality.

Conflict, distortion, and eeriness—it's nothing like the power of the God of the Ninja World that brings peace, as it's said in the ninja world!

Mei Terumi still believed Danzo's explanation because Danzo's display of Wood Release power was undeniable; that terrifying power could indeed be called divine power.

"Whether this is part of the Third Mizukage's plan or not, this guy is far too dangerous."

"He actually combined the Wood Release and Sharingan bloodline limits into one! And both have evolved to a very high level—the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Wood Release that allows him to use the Advent of the Flower Tree World."

"If Konoha finds out, they might become hostile to the village, or even start a war!"

"The largest ninja clan in Konoha, coupled with the orthodox Wood Release of Konoha, is enough to influence Konoha's decisions."

"Therefore... we must find a way to stop this guy, we can't let him become the master of demons and monsters, otherwise, once the Sharingan and Wood Release are exposed, a war will be inevitable!"

But as Danzo said, Mei Terumi's abilities are very powerful, but it will take some time before she can truly unleash the terrifying potential of these abilities.

If she had some time, she was confident she could completely corrupt the forest that Danzo had summoned!

But the Wood Release that attacked suddenly unleashed terrifying vitality, carrying immense power, and surged towards Mei Terumi with overwhelming force.

Once Mei Terumi is bound by it, she will be unable to break free and will be defeated!

"No, this can't go on. I need the power to break free from this blindness!"

Mei Terumi raised her head and looked at the giant eye in the sky that was radiating its power.

The giant eye seemed to sense Mei Terumi's gaze and began to respond. The connection between Mei Terumi's eyes and the Lord of Demons and Monsters continued to deepen.

"With the power of the Lord of Demons and Monsters' eyes, we should be able to forcefully use that move."

"Although using this will leave me weakened and prevent me from becoming the Lord of Demons and Monsters, it's worth it if it can save the village from a war!"

Mei Terumi took a deep breath, her gaze hardening, and continued to draw power from the giant eye in the sky, following her connection with it.

The giant eye did not stop it; instead, it cooperated by allowing its power to be absorbed.

Therefore, Mei Terumi forcibly activated her last trump card.

—That's a special move named after her, a celestial demon!

"Blue Lantern!"

Mei Terumi seemed to transform into a blue lantern, with a flickering flame inside, emitting a blue glow.

The blue light was small, but even the smallest light can become a prairie fire, as long as there is enough fuel.

Coincidentally, the vast white mist that almost enveloped the battlefield and originated from the same source as the blue lights was its best fuel.

The bluish-green lights emitted a captivating glow, tinging the entire white mist with a faint bluish hue.

Then, the blue flames burned even more fiercely, as if using the white mist as fuel to accelerate their own combustion.

The white mist, empowered by the azure light, caused everything in its path to dissolve and melt, as if announcing the arrival of death. This time, Wood Release encountered significant resistance upon contact with the azure-white mist, failing to break through the numerous obstacles as it had done before.

The speed at which the trees and vines grew and spread reached a dynamic balance with the speed at which the bluish-white fog dissolved and corroded, and the two sides were deadlocked.

The ever-expanding realm of flowering trees descended, then seemed to fall silent in an instant, stopping less than a hundred meters from Mei Terumi.

"Impressive! No wonder he was a genius who possessed both Lava Release and Boil Release bloodline limits before becoming a Heavenly Demon!" Danzo exclaimed in admiration as he saw the Flower Tree World's Descent being blocked.

This was the first time Danzo's Wood Release technique had been truly blocked.

Mei Terumi ignored Danzo's praise, but she couldn't maintain this state for long. There was no time for pleasantries; she had to do everything in her power to win this battle!

Mei Terumi's light, transformed into a blue lantern, grew even brighter, both gentle and incredibly powerful, further enhancing the blue-white mist.

The original mist was predominantly white with a touch of blue. But now, blue has taken over the majority of the mist, becoming the dominant color.

The bluish-white mist became even more powerful and profound.

With the added azure light, the blue-white mist gradually overwhelmed Danzo's Wood Release. Even as the tree roots desperately drew all the nutrients from the black earth, they could not escape the fate of being corrupted by the blue-white mist.

Trees, vines, and flowers were corroded and pitted, even torn apart, before bursting into a raging, sky-piercing blue flame.

Then, the blue flames burning the trees, vines, and flowers burst forth with an even more dazzling blue light, further enhancing the already terrifying white mist.

呲呲呲!

The white mist, which ravaged hearts and corroded and burned, descended upon Danzo once more, attempting to melt him away bit by bit.

"Susanoo!"

A jet-black Susanoo emerged from Danzo's body, forcibly creating a safe haven.

However, Susanoo was quickly melted and blurred by the corrosive blue-white mist.

Mei Terumi appeared beside Susanoo like a blue sprite, raising her hand to gently touch it.

Susanoo has been defeated!

Danzo inside was instantly enveloped in a bluish-white mist, leaving behind a corroded corpse with bones visible.

"Looks like I've won this time."

"I'm sorry, your presence is too dangerous."

"Without the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure is not capable of withstanding the wrath of Konoha."

The moment Mei Terumi saw the corpse, she relaxed completely and knelt down.

The aftereffects of overworking her body began to manifest.

The blue light faded, leaving only Mei Terumi with a sickly pale face.

The bluish-white mist also lost its energy and vanished into nothingness.

Everything seemed to have settled down.

Suddenly, a kunai pierced Mei Terumi's heart from behind!

"Why? You should have been killed!!"

"I'm pretty sure that's your true form. In your Aoandon form, you can't hide your fake death from me."

Faced with Mei's question, Danzo said calmly:

"Izanagi, a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, uses the loss of light as a price to connect the illusory with the real, thereby changing one's destiny."
