Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 327 The Might of the White Snake Sage
Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime were especially fierce upon seeing their sworn enemy.
Ichikishimahime fully activated her Sage techniques, wildly splashing all kinds of venom and corrosive energy towards Tagitsuhime without restraint.
However, the evolved Tagitsuhime had greatly increased scale defense and extremely high resistance to toxins. Her flood dragon body withstood the attacks, while her sharp claws and breath constantly counterattacked, forcing Ichikishimahime to retreat repeatedly, looking utterly disheveled.
As for Shanjun, although besieged by the new Snake Princess and a large number of elite snakes, it relied on its enormous size, formidable strength, and ability to briefly hover in the air by controlling wind elements.
Twisting and turning in the air, its roars stirred the wind, using both claws and fangs, it still held the upper hand, frequently tearing an elite giant snake into two.
However, the snakes of Ryuchi Cave were simply too numerous.
As soon as one batch was killed, more immediately swarmed up, seemingly endless.
Although the three main combatants were powerful, facing the full force of the entire Ryuchi Cave and the desperate entanglement of the three Snake Princesses, they gradually began to feel the pressure, with their chakra and stamina depleting rapidly.
...
"Hmph, quite capable, no wonder that traitor Tagitsuhime dares to be so arrogant."
The White Snake Sage looked at the stalemated battle below, a cold glint flashing in her serpentine pupils.
"However, this ends here. This Sage’s millennia of existence are not something you juniors can fathom."
She no longer observed. Her massive serpent body suddenly shook, erupting with even more vast and pure Sage chakra.
"Sage Art. Ten Thousand Snake Poison Prison."
She opened her mouth and spat out a sky full of dark green poisonous mist.
This mist contained the White Snake Sage’s primordial snake poison cultivated over a thousand years. It was extremely corrosive, capable of even eroding chakra and souls.
The poisonous mist rapidly spread, instantly covering most of the battlefield.
"Beware the mist."
Tagitsuhime cried out in alarm, forming a protective barrier with her blue black flood dragon aura around her body.
Shanjun also let out a low roar, intensifying the whirlwind around it, attempting to blow away the mist. But this mist clung like a malignant ulcer, extremely difficult to disperse. Upon touching its fur, it immediately made sizzling corrosive sounds.
Tenji also dodged and weaved through the mist, but its movements were greatly hindered. The mist could even penetrate its scales, bringing a burning pain.
Seeing this, the three Snake Princesses’ morale soared. They immediately launched fiercer attacks under the cover of the mist.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
"We cannot drag this out any longer."
A golden light flashed in Tenji’s eyes as it roared again.
"Eight Gates Released Formation, Fifth Gate. Gate of Limit, open."
Boom.
Its aura erupted, repelling the surrounding mist. It transformed into a green lightning bolt, charging straight at Kojinja.
"I’ve been waiting for you."
Although shocked by Tenji’s transformation, the White Snake Sage had long been waiting for the right moment. Her gigantic serpent tail, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, swept over with astonishing speed.
"Tenji, be careful."
Shanjun and Tagitsuhime exclaimed simultaneously.
Tenji’s six ears trembled violently, sensing a fatal crisis.
Thud.
Like a meteorite impact.
Tenji’s formidable body was sent flying violently, smashing through several reef rocks before barely coming to a stop. Its dark golden scales were shattered, and a trickle of golden blood seeped from the corner of its mouth, clearly suffering from significant internal injuries.
"Tenji."
Nonō and the others watched, their hearts in their throats.
"First, deal with you, troublesome tiger."
The White Snake Sage, emboldened by her success, turned her gaze to Shanjun in the air.
She opened her mouth and inhaled. The surrounding poisonous mist and natural energy frantically converged into her mouth, condensing into a highly compressed pitch black energy sphere.
"Sage Art. Yin Devouring Bullet."
Whoosh.
The pitch black energy sphere shot towards Shanjun at a speed surpassing vision.
Shanjun’s enlarged body couldn’t dodge in time. It could only roar angrily, gathering wind elements in front of it to form a shield.
Boom.
The pitch black energy sphere collided with the Wind Style shield, causing a violent explosion.
The Yin-cold, corrosive energy instantly tore through the shield, crashing hard onto Shanjun’s massive body.
"Roar."
Shanjun let out a roar of pain. Its huge body fell from the air, its aura wilting rapidly.
"Shanjun." Tagitsuhime’s eyes were wide with fury.
"Traitor, this Sage’s millennia of cultivation is beyond your imagination. Now it’s your turn."
The White Snake Sage’s icy gaze finally locked onto Tagitsuhime.
The runes in her massive serpentine pupils flickered, as a terrifying pressure targeting the soul descended.
"Sage Art. Soul Seizing Screech."
A soundless shriek that pierced straight to the soul instantly enveloped Tagitsuhime.
"Ah."
The flood dragon transformed by Tagitsuhime let out a shrill scream. Her massive body convulsed violently, her soul feeling as if it were being torn apart. She reverted to human form, collapsing to the ground. Thin streams of blood seeped from her seven orifices, clearly having suffered severe damage.
The White Snake Sage had merely attacked three times. With absolute strength, she had grievously wounded the three strongest guardians of Ascension Island.
The depth of her millennia of cultivation was displayed thoroughly at this moment.
"Pathetic."
Looking down from above at the fallen Tenji, Shanjun, and Tagitsuhime, the White Snake Sage’s eyes were full of indifference and disdain.
She turned her gaze to the entrance of the underground laboratory, the greed in her golden vertical pupils growing stronger.
Although she didn’t know why Sora hadn’t appeared, she could sense that Sora was underground.
"Now, it’s time to collect this Sage’s prize..."
Nonō, watching this scene, shook her head and finally no longer hesitated.
"Chinchilla."
...
At the same time.
In a cave at the border of the Land of Water, beside a campfire.
Uchiha Kenta bit one end of a bandage, bandaging a deep, bone visible wound on his thigh. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He recalled the heart stopping battle with the Kirigakure Anbu during the day and the scene where Sora saved him at the last moment. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Just this... is not enough."
He growled in a low voice, his fist smashing hard on the ground beside him.
Outside the cave, Sora silently adjusted the White Tiger clone. He was not surprised by Uchiha Kenta’s sense of defeat.
Relying solely on external pressure to stimulate the awakening was still too difficult.
The essence of the Uchiha clan’s Sharingan was the eye that reflected the heart. Emotion, especially extreme love, hate, and loss, was the key.
’It seems Uchiha Yami is the crucial factor.’
Sora thought to himself.
He formed hand seals.
With a soft poof, the entirely black, plump and chubby Kuro Maru appeared.
"Meow, Boss Sora, what do you need from meow?"
Sora skillfully took out a packet of dried fish, handing it to Kuro Maru, and asked in a low voice.
"How has the girl I asked you to keep an eye on been recently?"
Kuro Maru stored the dried fish and meowed.
"Meow, she and her team took a C rank escort mission a few days ago to the Land of Waves. The mission seemed to go quite smoothly. Tomorrow they are scheduled to return to the Land of Fire by ship from the port of the Land of Waves."
Land of Waves, returning tomorrow.
Sora nodded.
The Land of Waves was a small island nation without many powerful ninja, not far from the Land of Water, with a complex environment. It was the perfect place for an ’accident’ to occur.
"Understood, thanks for the hard work." Sora nodded.
"Meow, thank you for your patronage, Boss Sora." Kuro Maru nodded its little head and prepared to disappear.
