" Lord Raikage! Target spotted ahead!"
"One person! Only one person!"
In the Kumogakure's sensory unit, a ninja looked at the white figure slowly approaching through the crystal ball and reported to the man at the front of the group in an extremely incredulous tone.
"Huh? Alone?!"
At the very front of the group, a man with a towering, muscular build and an explosive aura of power scoffed at the words.
He is none other than the Fourth Raikage, A!
"Are those Uchiha gang out of people? They only sent one brat to his death?"
"Or do they think they can stop Kumogakure three thousand iron cavalry by themselves?!"
Raikage A's face was filled with rage and impatience.
His messenger Darui, had his arm crippled—a blatant humiliation for him and for the entire Kumogakure!
He's not here to negotiate, he's here to kill!
He will use the blood of the entire Uchiha clan to wash away this shame!
"All troops, listen to my command! Advance at full speed!"
"Run it over!"
"Crush that ignorant brat, along with that pile of broken rocks behind him, to the ground!"
"Yes!"
Three thousand Kumogakure roared in unison, and the Lightning Release Chakra wrapped around their bodies erupted simultaneously!
Sizzle!
In an instant, the entire desert was covered by blinding lightning!
Three thousand blue and white lightning bolts converged into an unstoppable torrent of steel, carrying a force capable of tearing everything apart, and charged madly toward that lone white figure!
On the " Rock of Lamentation," thirty miles away.
Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, and the others watched the vast army of lightning sweeping in from afar like the wrath of Thor, their hearts sank to the bottom.
"This is... this is terrifying!"
The lips of one of the Iwagakure Jonin trembling.
"Is this the Kumogakure's Lightning Release squad? Just that aura alone is enough to demoralize any enemy!"
" Gen'yō... can he really handle this?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with extreme worry, fixed intently on the white figure that appeared as insignificant as an ant in the face of the torrent of lightning.
However, at the eye of the storm, there was not a trace of tension on Uchiha Gen'yō's face.
He simply stood there quietly, watching the overwhelming lightning strike, as if he were appreciating a fireworks display that had nothing to do with him.
"The momentum is quite impressive."
"Unfortunately, in the face of an absolute dimensional difference, quantity and momentum are the most meaningless things."
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the " Seed of the World Tree " brimming with life in his palm.
Then, he bent down.
Amidst the mocking and cruel gazes of the three thousand Kumogakure, he gently pressed the seed into the dry, cracked yellow sand beneath his feet.
" Raikage."
"I'll show you what I'm made of today."
"What, then, is true power?"
" Wood Release: Creation of the God Tree!"
boom--!!!
The instant Uchiha Gen'yō finished speaking!
An indescribable, vast, and sacred green life energy erupted from the seed beneath his feet!
The entire earth trembled and wailed violently at that moment!
It's as if an ancient behemoth, which has slumbered for billions of years, is awakening from the depths of the earth!
"What... what is that?!"
As Raikage A charged at high speed, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
He saw that beneath the feet of that Uchiha brat, the ground was rising wildly in a way that defied the laws of physics!
Thick, massive tree roots, resembling coiled dragons, tore through the thick rock layers and burst forth from the depths of the earth!
Immediately afterwards.
A sapling, entirely emerald green and radiating a soft glow, began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
One meter!
Ten meters!
100 meters!
km!
In less than ten breaths!
A sacred giant tree, requiring hundreds of people to encircle it, soaring into the clouds and seemingly connecting heaven and earth, rose from the ground and stood before everyone!
This sudden, mythical sight brought the unstoppable torrent of three thousand lightning bolts to an abrupt halt just a few hundred meters away from Uchiha Gen'yō!
All the Kumogakure stood frozen in place, as if struck by a spell, their heads tilted back, gazing at the legendary, towering tree with the eyes of someone looking at a god!
However, this is just the beginning!
The roots of the God Tree spread wildly in all directions, as if they were alive!
Wherever they go, the parched yellow sand is replaced by fertile Kurotsuchi!
One by one, tall trees sprouted from the soil, and patches of green grass grew out of thin air!
Clear streams began to flow gently through the forest!
In less than a minute!
That desolate, barren desert, where birds wouldn't poop and yellow sand filled the sky, has completely disappeared!
Instead, there is a vast, vibrant primeval forest brimming with boundless life energy!
The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and earth, so refreshing that it almost brought tears to my eyes!
Dead silence.
A deathly silence.
Whether it was the three thousand Kumogakure troops or the Iwagakure people thirty miles away, everyone who witnessed this scene was completely stunned into a blank.
Their worldview, cognition, and understanding of Ninjutsu were shattered at this moment by the Creation miracle before them!
"Am I... am I under some kind of Genjutsu?"
A Kumogakure slapped himself Jonin across the face; the burning pain told him that everything before him was real!
The Fourth Raikage A, stood frozen in place, his face, once filled with tyranny and rage, now showing only endless blankness and bewilderment.
He even forgot what he came there to do.
He just stared blankly at the forest that had appeared out of nowhere, and then at the white figure standing at the edge of the forest, surrounded by countless living things, like a god of the forest.
His throat moved with difficulty, but no sound came out.
war?
revenge?
Do these things even matter in the face of gods who can create a world with a wave of their hand?
Just then...
The godlike man slowly turned around and cast his gaze towards the " Rock of Lamentation," thirty miles away, which was also now covered in greenery.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
" Tsuchikage."
"This brand new land that I created with my own hands."
"From today onwards, this will be our Uchiha Clan's new home."
"You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
