White Snake Sage: I'll Blast You to Death, You Bastard!

Everything up to now has been told to her by others. Some things, if she doesn't personally verify them, she won't be at ease. If it were other matters, it might be fine, but this is no small thing—the world is on the verge of destruction, and that's hardly trivial. Without thoroughly confirming it herself, how could she ever truly give up hope?

Even after receiving news from the Great Toad Sage and confirmation from Orochimaru, the White Snake Sage still clung to a sliver of hope. What if? What if it was all a misjudgment? What if Uchiha Yue didn't actually have the power to destroy the world?

Soon, a snake followed Orochimaru out of Ryūchi Cave and arrived at the Konoha Ruins. After investigating, it discovered that the domain was indeed expanding continuously, and once inside, all power within one's body would uncontrollably drain away.

The White Snake Sage was utterly disheartened.

"Xi, this... is a monster!!!"

The White Snake Sage looked up to the heavens and sighed. She felt as if another Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had appeared in this world—no, this was even more excessive and terrifying than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki back then. At least Kaguya hadn't sought to exterminate all life in this world.

Instead, she aimed for sustainable development—harvesting some today, some tomorrow, allowing the world's creatures time to reproduce, rather than draining all the energy of the Ninja World in one go.

But Uchiha Yue? If this monster was allowed to keep growing, sooner or later, this planet would be completely drained and devoured by it!

After careful observation and perception, the White Snake Sage discovered in horror that the Natural Energy on this planet was decreasing, as if something was consuming and absorbing it. However, the rate of disappearance hadn't been fast at first, so she hadn't noticed it before.

Only now, knowing of Uchiha Yue's existence and sensing carefully, did she realize.

"H-How can this be! I still have so long to live—how am I supposed to die now? Croak, I won't accept this! Such a monster simply cannot continue to exist in this world! I must find a way to kill this demon, Uchiha Yue!!!"

The White Snake Sage's voice trembled with terror. Unlike Black Zetsu, who speculated that Uchiha Yue's scale had already reached a level capable of covering a third of the planet—enough to cause extinction-level disasters for life on this world, where a few spins around the globe would kill everyone, including Black Zetsu himself—

In the White Snake Sage's eyes, even if Uchiha Yue stopped growing stronger and remained at his current level, within no more than a hundred years, he would completely drain and empty this planet of Natural Energy.

At that point, there would be no Natural Energy left on this planet, and that would be the end of their sacred lands and their sages.

It must be understood that chakra does not have the effect of extending life. Or rather, without suitable methods—such as genetic modification or biological evolution—relying solely on chakra cannot prolong life. After all, this energy is not a special supernatural force drawn from the outside world but a supernatural power sought from within, akin to ATP in the human body. Anyone with basic common sense knows that cannot grant immortality.

The reason these sages could live so long was that they mixed Natural Energy with chakra, completing life's evolution through special means and obtaining long lifespans. However, their lives were entirely dependent on Sage Chakra.

If Sage Chakra were exhausted, they wouldn't die immediately, but if they could no longer refine new Sage Chakra, before long, these so-called sages would completely pass away, their souls returning to the Pure Land.

After all, without Sage Chakra, they would have died long ago.

This was why the White Snake Sage was terrified. She didn't want to die! Compared to that old toad, she still had a long life ahead of her—far longer than a mere hundred years!!!

"Xi, that old toad is a fool. Now is the best time to kill Uchiha Yue! Facing a monster that can endlessly grow and evolve, if we don't strike while it hasn't fully matured, once it does, how will we ever act?"

The White Snake Sage flicked her tongue, her snake face twisting into a look of extreme ferocity and ruthlessness. When a snake faces death, its actions turn mad. Realizing that allowing Uchiha Yue to continue growing and existing meant she had only a few years left to live, the White Snake Sage panicked. Her heart was in chaos.

Right now, that Dead Silence Domain capable of devouring energy had only expanded beyond the range of Konoha. If they waited a while longer, until that monster's power completely covered the entire Land of Fire, they probably wouldn't even be able to get close.

"Xi, Uchiha Yue! I, the White Snake Sage, will use supreme power to utterly blast you, this monster wreaking havoc on the Ninja World, to death!!! Then, I will devour you whole and gouge out your eyes! Hehehe... It's only right that I become a god! Hahaha!!! YAH!!!"

The White Snake Sage's eyes gleamed with a sinister, cruel expression. Then, thinking of defeating Uchiha Yue, transplanting those eyes into herself, and gaining that terrifying power, she imagined becoming the ultimate powerhouse on this planet—becoming... a dragon!

At the thought of that glorious future, of killing Uchiha Yue and seizing his divine status, even the White Snake Sage couldn't help but hum softly.

"Hehehe, I, the White Snake Sage, will become a Divine Dragon!!! Hahaha!!!!"

The White Snake Sage burst into laughter, as if she had already devoured Uchiha Yue whole and plucked out his eyes. As for the problem of how a snake could install human eyes—well, everyone knew that the Uchiha Clan's eyes were hot-swappable. Even a crow could install a Sharingan, so why not a snake?

Thinking this, the White Snake Sage began madly inhaling Natural Energy. Even if this behavior caused irreversible damage to her body, she didn't care. At least, after killing Uchiha Yue and obtaining that invincible Mangekyo Sharingan, when she became a dragon, what was a little damage? A mere shortened lifespan—nothing worth mentioning.

"This is..."
