"What... what is this...?"
Grandpa Higurashi, hiding outside the ancestral hall, had his wrinkled eyes bulging outwards. This old man, who had spent Tenten life as a religious leader, swindling worshippers with fake amulets, had never before witnessed such a living deity, accompanied by celestial phenomena and traversing the heavens.
In particular, Tobirama's innate and supreme majesty, which transcends all things, made the surrounding air a thousand times heavier than mercury without any deliberate release.
"Thump!"
Grandpa Higurashi's knees suddenly buckled, and he even threw his cane aside, kneeling and prostrating himself completely on the cold stone slab. His whole body trembled violently as if being sieved, and he mumbled various prayers incoherently. Kagome Higurashi's mother and her younger brother Sota Higurashi, standing beside him, were also Deprivation of their right to stand by this invisible pressure, collapsing limply to the ground, their minds falling into a completely blank state.
"Grandpa! Mom!"
Kagome Higurashi gasped in surprise from Tobirama's embrace, jolting awake from her daze. She frantically pulled away from his broad, warm chest and rushed to her family, shielding them. Then, she turned and looked up at the divine man who had rescued her from the time tunnel with a gaze filled with profound awe and a touch of girlish shyness.
"Thank you so much for saving me... But who are you?" Kagome Higurashi's voice trembled slightly, her heart still racing.
Tobirama Uchiha did not answer immediately.
Towering signal towers, crisscrossing utility poles, and skyscrapers faintly visible in the distance.
And, the deafening roar of modern car engines, the screeching of trams scraping against rails, the advertising slogans blaring from loudspeakers, and even the cacophony of voices from millions of people gathered together, all pouring into our ears from all directions.
In this megacity with tens of millions of people, hustle and bustle is the constant theme.
"It's been so long since I've experienced modern life, but now I need some peace and quiet."
Tobirama's handsome, Tobirama -like eyebrows furrowed slightly in obvious displeasure.
He disliked hearing such disorderly chatter in the new territory he had just set foot in.
Buzz!!!
In that extremely brief Setsuna when Tobirama frowned!
Haoshoku Haki!
With Higurashi Shrine as the absolute center, it swept out in all directions with overwhelming force, like an extremely violent and silent cosmic storm!
Tobirama skillfully controlled this domineering aura to the level of "stunning without killing." However, its coverage area instantly reached an extremely terrifying ten miles in radius.
"Creak--Bang!"
On the streets of Shinjuku, tens of thousands of cars that were speeding along suddenly lost consciousness the moment their drivers came into contact with that invisible ripple. The vehicles braked with a screeching sound as the intelligent collision avoidance system intervened, and then all of them mysteriously broke down in the middle of the road.
At the Shibuya Crossing, the tens of thousands of pedestrians who were once densely packed like ants suddenly collapsed to the ground in perfect unison, like stalks of wheat being harvested, before they could even utter a sound of alarm. They were like machine puppets whose power had been violently cut off. They fell into a deathly silence.
The mall's music stopped, the tram came to an abrupt halt on the tracks, and even a flock of pigeons flying overhead plummeted straight down from mid-air.
In less than three breaths!
Within a radius of ten miles, this megacity is known as the busiest and most bustling in the world.
All noise was silenced. Mortals, before the unconscious aura of a transdimensional deity, were Deprivation of even the right to remain conscious or make a sound!
Only Kagome Higurashi's family inside the Higurashi Shrine, thanks to Tobirama's deliberate protection, managed to retain their sanity. But when they looked through the gate and saw the crowds of people lying on the street outside, their lives hanging in the balance, the profound shock they felt completely destroyed their vocal cords.
"Finally, some peace and quiet."
Tobirama listened with great satisfaction to the gentle breeze in the stillness, his furrowed brows finally relaxing. He turned around and glanced at the extremely small and even somewhat shabby Higurashi Shrine, a hint of undisguised disdain flashing in his eyes.
"However, as my lodging in this New World, these few drafty, dilapidated wooden huts are even more disgusting than the sewers."
He looked at Kagome Higurashi, who was stunned, and his tone was authoritarian and unquestionable.
"The land around here is too cramped. I need at least ten thousand acres of open land to build my palace. Go and clear away all the unsightly buildings around here."
"Ah?!"
Kagome Higurashi was so startled by this sudden and outrageous request that she jumped up from the ground. She waved her hands frantically, her innocent face filled with helplessness and embarrassment.
"No... no way! This is the heart of Tokyo! It's surrounded by extremely expensive commercial real estate and luxury apartments! In Japan, buying land requires a tremendous amount of money! Let alone tens of thousands of acres, even this small shrine of ours was something our ancestors struggled to maintain for generations. We... we simply don't have that much money to buy land!"
As an extremely ordinary modern high school girl, the concepts of money and housing prices are deeply ingrained in her subconscious.
However.
Hearing the word "money".
Tobirama Uchiha was slightly taken aback at first, then burst into a speechless laugh!
Hahahaha!!!
"Money? You can have as much of that as you want!"
Then, with remarkable composure, he took a step forward.
The instant the words left his mouth.
Tobirama casually raised his hands and patted them lightly in front of his chest.
"Smack."
" The Creation of All Things."
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!!!!!
As Tobirama's deep voice faded away.
Without warning, the entire back mountain of Higurashi Shrine experienced an extremely terrifying tremor, like an 18-magnitude earthquake!
Under the utterly horrified gazes of Kagome Higurashi's family and the four beauties of the Sengoku behind them!
The ordinary soil and rocks on the back mountain suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling golden light, so intense it could burn one's retina!
A mountain!
A mountain of pure gold, made entirely of 24K pure gold with 100% purity and absolutely no impurities!
It rose wildly from the ground with an extremely tyrannical and sky-piercing momentum!
Ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters!!!
In the short time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, a gigantic golden mountain, hundreds of meters high, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun with enough brilliance to dazzle the eyes of tens of millions of people in Tokyo, stood out abruptly in the backyard of Higurashi Shrine!
Extremely simple and brutal wealth crushing!
This is no longer a problem that printing money can solve; it's an extremely unreasonable attempt to use gold mines to directly shatter the entire monetary system of modern society!
"Oh my god... oh my god... gold... it's all gold!!!" Grandpa Higurashi's eyes rolled back, and his breathing became extremely rapid. If his heart hadn't been strong enough, this exaggerated visual impact would have been enough to make him have a breakdown on the spot.
Kagome Higurashi was completely stunned.
But from the outside world...
The moment this hundred-meter-high golden mountain appeared out of thin air.
When those high-ranking Tokyo officials who had just fallen into a brief coma due to Haoshoku Haki and were far from the shrine awoke and saw the Miracle Mountain radiating golden light through their windows, a massive earthquake shook the entire Japan political and financial world!
Countless spy satellites frantically locked onto this coordinate! The data transmitted back by various detection instruments caused all the financial tycoons and cabinet officials sitting in front of their screens to fall off their chairs in shock.
"That's real gold! A volume exceeding millions of cubic meters of pure gold! The ultimate wealth capable of causing the global economy to collapse in an instant!"
In less than an hour.
In the sky, dozens of highly advanced black armed helicopters roared in like a swarm of bees; on the ground, hundreds of bulletproof and blast-proof black luxury cars roughly pushed aside the broken-down vehicles, completely blocking the streets around Higurashi Shrine.
However, no one dared to set foot inside that shrine with weapons.
The guards, equipped with advanced detection devices, were horrified to discover that the shrine was surrounded by a terrifying aura capable of instantly crushing anyone who approached it into blood and gore!
The Prime Minister of Japan and the head of the major conglomerates.
These modern tycoons, who usually appear aloof and powerful on television, seemingly in control of the nation's destiny, were now dressed in extremely expensive handmade suits. Like a pack of stray dogs smelling blood, they arrived at the dilapidated torii gate of the shrine, drenched in sweat and stumbling along.
Thump! Thump!
Upon seeing the hundred-meter-high pure gold mountain, and the silver-haired man standing before it, radiating absolute pressure like a god, these so-called modern elites utterly abandoned all dignity, kneeling down in unison, their foreheads pressed firmly against the cold stone steps.
"Respected... Supreme Being..." The Prime Minister, drenched in cold sweat, spoke in an extremely humble manner, his voice trembling so much that he could not even utter a complete sentence.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Tobirama Uchiha with utter disgust. He couldn't even be bothered to hear their names.
He casually raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air above the hundred-meter-tall golden mountain.
"Snap!"
The solid gold ingot, weighing several tons, was torn apart with extreme brutality and then, like a piece of trash, slammed heavily onto the ground in front of the group of prime ministers and tycoons, creating a huge crater in the stone steps.
"This stone will be used to buy all the surrounding tens of thousands of acres of land."
Tobirama's voice exuded an absolute power that left no room for negotiation.
"You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to completely and thoroughly remove all humans from this area."
"If anyone dares to utter a single word of dissent, I will have this entire nation, along with this pile of gold, completely evaporate from the map of the earth."
"Yes! Yes! We will absolutely obey your will!!!" How could the Prime Minister and the zaibatsu dare to hesitate even a little? Putting aside the several tons of gold that could buy half of Tokyo, the sheer oppressive aura emanating from the other party, capable of destroying the world at any moment, was enough for them to regard him as a supreme deity!
Under the extremely frenzied operation of the state apparatus.
In less than half an hour, the high-end apartments and office buildings within a radius of tens of thousands of acres centered on the Higurashi Shrine were all brutally cleared. The military deployed the most advanced directional demolition technology to instantly raze those unsightly modern buildings to the ground.
A vast, completely cleared plain was presented to Tobirama Uchiha with utmost respect.
"The efficiency is barely passable."
Tobirama stood at the edge of the flat ground, looking at the empty ruins, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
He clapped his hands.
The Senjutsu Chakra within his body, combined with the inexhaustible power of Wood Release and his perfect fusion with modern, extremely luxurious aesthetics, erupted at this moment!
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!
The entire central Tokyo area experienced a terrifying tremor a hundred times more intense than when the gold mountain rose from the ground!
Under the utterly horrified gaze of tens of millions of Tokyo residents, and even of global high-ranking officials monitoring the city via satellite!
An absolutely spectacular and utterly absurd architectural the Miracle has been staged!
Countless Spirit Realm Divine Wood, radiating a shimmering jade-like light and as thick as ancient dragons, burst forth from the earth with tremendous force! But this time, they did not intertwine to form a rigid, traditional palace.
Under Tobirama's control, these sacred trees automatically generated extremely perfect, high-strength crystalline surfaces that refracted a deep blue energy glow! They rapidly intersected and constructed in mid-air with an extremely smooth, futuristic, streamlined structure!
The crystal-clear sacred wood transformed into the framework of a towering skyscraper; the green vines, exuding an extremely rich spiritual energy, transformed into Japan light strips that transported energy, wandering along the outer walls of the palace; and enormous, suspended pools of water, compressed from pure Water Release Chakra, lavishly adorned the rooftop terraces hundreds of meters high!
In less than ten minutes!
Super-Luxury Modern Skyscraper Divine Palace covering an area of tens of thousands of acres, its highest point reaching into the clouds, even completely obscuring the light from the distant Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree.
It stands out starkly and strikingly in the heart of Tokyo!
It possesses both the inviolable sanctity and majesty of ancient immortal Senjutsu, and perfectly blends minimalist luxury and sci-fi aesthetics that transcend modern technology by centuries.
"This... is this the abode of the gods...?" Kagome Higurashi's family, standing to the side, were so terrified by this scene that it defied human comprehension that their minds completely shut down, and they even forgot to breathe.
Compared to the supernatural creation techniques that can erect Skyscraper Divine Palace out of thin air, the large-scale machinery, tower cranes, and construction projects that modern humans are so proud of are simply garbage!
"It's alright."
Tobirama Uchiha admired his masterpiece with great satisfaction. He opened his arms naturally, his left hand around Kagome Higurashi's still trembling shoulder, and his right hand around Lady Izayoi's slender waist.
