Chapter 140: Quiet!!
The space became utterly still in an instant.
Upon hearing those words, the aged face of the White Snake Sage began to twist with fury. Her serpentine eyes flashed with a terrifyingly cold light, teetering on the edge of a berserk rage.
Unexpectedly…
The White Snake Sage had truly not expected this outcome.
She had acted with such realism and affection, even becoming a little excited herself. She had been ready to begin their supposed cooperation.
And yet?
She had tried to move the heavens, shake the earth—
But failed to sway the heart of the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
This left the White Snake Sage feeling as if she had swallowed poison—uncomfortable beyond belief.
"Young Fifth Hokage, do you even understand what you're rejecting?"
But—
As the ancestral ruler of Ryūchi Cave, she took a deep breath to suppress the wrath in her heart and said coldly, "You killed Xin Ya and suppressed countless giant snakes in Ryūchi Cave. I did not seek revenge. I even took the initiative to cooperate with you—to work together in overthrowing the Sage of Six Paths. Are you truly unmoved?"
"Hahaha!!"
Looking at the furious White Snake Sage, Uchiha Yuta burst out laughing and said disdainfully, "You deceitful and cunning old snake—it's not that I look down on you, it's that you're truly unworthy of cooperating with me."
"To tell you the truth, everything you're doing right now is no different than the antics of a clown in my eyes."
"You…!"
Hearing this—
The White Snake Sage was utterly enraged and roared, "Do you really think you can do whatever you please in Ryūchi Cave just because of your power? Let me tell you—if you didn't still have some value, I would've already crushed you!"
A joke!
As the ancestral sovereign of Ryūchi Cave, when had she ever been humiliated like this? Since the Uchiha brat didn't know how to appreciate kindness and refused to cooperate with the sacrifice offerings, she had no reason to continue tolerating him.
Buzz!!
Before the words had even faded—
A terrifying amount of Sage Chakra erupted from the White Snake Sage's body.
Affected by the surge—
The bizarre, closed-off dimension they stood in began to hum and quake violently.
"I didn't want to do this… but since you're forcing my hand—"
Facing the enraged White Snake Sage, Uchiha Yuta revealed a flicker of helplessness in his eyes. Since she was going to be shameless, he had no choice but to show her reality and suppress her completely.
"Sage Mode—!"
With a cold shout, Uchiha Yuta's body erupted with immense chakra, rapidly absorbing the natural energy from the surrounding space.
"You dare?! Don't you realize this space is under my control?!"
Seeing this, the White Snake Sage laughed coldly and attempted to control the natural energy to stop it from being absorbed by Uchiha Yuta.
But—
That was the ideal. The reality was brutal.
Within seconds—
The cold sneer on the White Snake Sage's face froze. Her serpent eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because in her perception, the natural energy that had always been under her control was now being freely absorbed and perfectly fused by Uchiha Yuta's body.
And so—
In this bizarre moment—
The White Snake Sage could only watch in horror as the distinct facial patterns of Sage Mode appeared on Uchiha Yuta's cheeks, and a powerful wave of Sage Chakra surged through his body.
"Even natural energy knows to avoid weakness and submit to strength."
Feeling the immense power coursing through him, Uchiha Yuta slightly shrugged and said meaningfully, "White Snake Sage, you are too weak. Even the natural world doesn't want to side with you."
"You arrogant—!!"
The White Snake Sage was so infuriated she nearly coughed up blood on the spot.
"Break!"
Glancing coldly at the furious, powerless White Snake Sage, Uchiha Yuta released a burst of terrifying willpower.
BOOM!!!
Instantly—
A terrifying shockwave erupted from his Conqueror's Haki-like aura, shaking the dimension created by the White Snake Sage with an earth-shattering momentum.
Crack… Crack…
Cracks began spreading across the space.
Moments later—
Before the White Snake Sage could react—
The entire space, once filled with natural energy and under her control, began to fracture visibly—like a fragile mirror on the verge of collapse.
"H-How is this possible?!"
Watching her domain collapse, the White Snake Sage's eyes filled with horror. A storm raged within her mind.
She had known Uchiha Yuta was powerful—
But this powerful?
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar followed.
The space conjured by the White Snake Sage using natural energy completely shattered.
And with that collapse, Uchiha Yuta's overwhelming pressure swept through all of Ryūchi Cave, leaving nothing untouched.
---
"What is that!?"
The moment Uchiha Yuta and the White Snake Sage reappeared—
Tianxin Hime, Ichikishima Hime, and Tagorihime—the high priestesses of Ryūchi Cave—who had just gotten up from the ground, were suppressed once again before they could even react.
This time—
Perhaps because Uchiha Yuta had gone all-out,
Within moments, Tianxin Hime and the others felt their hearts trembling, minds blank, and they collapsed unconscious on the spot.
---
"Die."
And at that moment, as Tianxin Hime, Ichikishima Hime, and Tagorihime passed out cold, Uchiha Yuta's eyes turned frosty. He clenched his right fist and struck the air.
What mercy?
Now that all pretense was torn apart,
He had no reason to hold back.
Swoosh—!!
A wave of brilliant, fluorescent-white energy burst forth, instantly flooding Ryūchi Cave.
RUMBLE—!!
A deafening roar followed.
Under the White Snake Sage's horrified gaze, Tianxin Hime, Ichikishima Hime, Tagorihime, and all the stunned giant snakes began to show spiderweb-like cracks across their bodies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
An endless chorus of explosions rang out.
It was the sound of snakes' bodies being blown apart—one after another.
And so—
Within less than a minute—
The countless giant snakes of Ryūchi Cave were utterly annihilated.
In other words—
Apart from the White Snake Sage herself…
The once-mighty serpent clan of Ryūchi Cave was nearly wiped out.
