Chapter 246: Mokuton: Birth of a World of Trees
At the top of a tall tower on the outskirts of Roran, stood Sara.
She was dressed in a short, dark crimson dress that did not at all fit the image of a queen, her slender waist was wrapped in a wide black belt, her red hair fluttered in the wind and her long, slender, white legs seemingly without much strength, but resting firmly on the edge of the high platform.
At this moment, nineteen-year-old Sara was unknowingly showing off her beauty to the fullest.
She looked away.
There was a strong concern in her eyes.
In the distance, the raging sand could be seen moving in Roran's direction, something that had happened many times recently.
He had relied on his barrier formation and his guards to somehow resist the advancing sand, but now he had to throw all of Roran's ninja against it, leaving no one to carry the water.
Ordinary civilians simply cannot cross this sandstorm.
If this continues, soon all of Roran will be swallowed by the sand.
Sara looked anxiously at the sandstorm in the distance and sighed deeply, as she was about to descend to prepare for the next barrier formation launch, when suddenly a voice echoed from the side.
"Why didn't you contact me earlier?"
Without knowing when, Yeruashi's figure appeared on the platform behind Sara.
Sara turned around abruptly.
A variety of emotions flashed through her eyes, including joy and embarrassment, and she ran forward and hugged Yeruashi tightly, but after a moment, she quickly let go.
Sara forcibly suppressed the emotions in her heart, looked into Yeruashi's eyes and said with some hesitation, "Your eyes... are..."
"Gained some new powers."
Yeruashi reached out and stroked Sara's dirty hair, as she was about to say something, she turned her head and looked at the sandstorm approaching Roran.
He placed his right hand on Sara's shoulder and, while performing a series of hand seals with his left hand, he took a deep breath and exhaled in the direction of the sandstorm.
Senjutsu-Fūton: Great Rupture!
A blast of fierce wind erupted from Yeruashi's mouth, instantly turning into a great storm that collided with the oncoming sandstorm.
The furious wind and the sandstorm collided violently and, soon the sandstorm approaching Roran was crushed and flew in the opposite direction.
Watching this scene.
Sara was a bit shocked for a moment.
In the past, Yeruashi had already demonstrated great strength, killing a large number of Sunagakure ninja in the blink of an eye, but this was not so exaggerated, compared to this Wind Element Jutsu, which forced a large sandstorm to retreat!!! Yeruashi only performed a few hand seals with his left hand and didn't seem to be tense at all!!!!!
He is able to resist the forces of nature!!!
Yeruashi lowered his hand, looked at Sara and smiled softly, saying, "If this continues, I'm afraid Roran won't be able to resist for long!"
"I... I heard that you became the fifth Hokage and I didn't want to cause you unnecessary trouble."
Sara timidly lowered her head, not daring to look into Yeruashi's eyes, the queen's imposing attitude disappeared without a trace and said, "I am the queen after all."
Yeruashi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I know."
She obviously loves him, but she doesn't want to cause any trouble, which is why she likes Sara.
Yeruashi turned and looked off into the distance. It could be seen that his Jutsu had pushed the sandstorm almost to the horizon, but soon it started to move again in Roran's direction.
"Such sandstorms.... Did they descend upon Roran due to the disappearance of the Dragon Vein?"
"Yes..."
Sara nodded, looking anxiously at the sandstorm that had gathered in the distance as she said, "About two years after you left, the power of the Dragon Vein finally dissipated and Roran began to encounter such sandstorms more and more frequently."
With the loss of the Dragon Vein, the environment has become even harsher and more aggressive than before, and maintaining such a city in the middle of the desert is extremely difficult.
Sara sighed heavily and said, "Looks like I should give up..."
She really didn't want to leave the kingdom her mother left behind, but now it seems there is no other choice. Even if Yeruashi is able to block the sandstorms, she can't always stay here to watch over Roran.
With the loss of the Dragon Vein, Roran lost the power to cope with the extremely hostile and aggressive environment.
In such a situation, Sara can only hope to migrate with the citizens of Roran from the desert to the Fire Country in search of a more suitable territory to live in.
"Do you want to go to the Fire Country or do you want to stay here?"
Yeruashi looked at Sara and asked.
Sara looked at Roran behind her, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes and said, "I wish I could stay here, but the sand will eventually engulf the city..."
Yeruashi smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Yes..."
"But that's not possible..."
Of course, Sara wants to stay in the city she inherited from her late mother, but according to her guess, the amount of sandstorms will only increase with time. They can block one storm, but not ten or a hundred.
A person can't withstand the forces of nature their whole life.
"No."
"It's really not that hard."
Yeruashi looked at the surrounding desert and said calmly, "I just wanted to try a ninjutsu.... And this area of the desert is the best choice."
"Huh?"
Sara was stunned at these words, but in the next instant, Yeruashi's body jumped forward, drew an arc in the air and landed softly in the middle of the desert outside Roran.
Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, his body was already wrapped in the golden cloak of the Six Path Mode chakra, with magatamas on his back, and behind him were the six Truth Seeking Balls.
Sara looked at Yeruashi with surprise and incomprehension, feeling the immense chakra and not understanding what he was going to do.
On the floor.
Roran's ninjas, who were preparing to set up the barrier formation, stopped moving when Yeruashi stopped the sandstorm and were now looking at her figure outside of Roran.
After activating the Six Paths Mode, Yeruashi surveyed the surrounding desert and performed a series of seals with his hands and a huge stream of chakra erupted from his body.
Whoosh!!!
The furious chakra enveloped the nearby sand.
Immediately after.
Under the surprised gazes of Roran and Sara's ninjas, with Yeruashi's hand movement, the sand in front of him suddenly rose up frantically.
Numerous massive tree branches, like huge snakes, sprouted from the sand and turned into a raging sea of trees, rushing towards the lifeless desert.
"Mokuton... Birth of a World of Trees!"
Yeruashi softly uttered the name of the ninjutsu.
From his body, a massive stream of Six Paths chakra poured out relentlessly, turning into countless intertwined trees that instantly stretched across the desert for hundreds of meters.
But that was only the beginning.
Yeruashi used the ability to reverse time, to return his body to its ideal state and continue releasing chakra, furthermore, he strengthened this ninjutsu by infusing it with a great amount of natural energy.
Under the influence of this force, countless large trees began to sprout from the surrounding desert and quickly spread in all directions with Roran as the center.
Under Sara's incredulous gaze, standing atop a tall tower, a terrifying sea of green rushed toward the sandstorm and easily dispersed it, then spread out toward the horizon!
Boom!!!
The ground shook as if an earthquake was about to occur.
Countless civilians came out of their homes and stood in shock in the middle of the streets, looking at the green forest that appeared on the outskirts of Roran.
After an unknown amount of time, the ground finally stopped shaking.
Yeruashi lowered his hands and nodded with satisfaction as he felt the distance of the trees extend, then his figure blurred and he appeared in the tower next to Sarah, saying, "Done."
"The forest has stretched for over a hundred kilometers in all directions. All these trees contain my chakra and have great vitality, plus their roots bore deep, nothing should happen to this forest for decades."
Sara silently scanned the forest surrounding Roran from all directions.
"Argh..."
Everything that was happening was like a dream, she involuntarily pinched herself and felt pain.
After confirming that everything was real, Sara still couldn't suppress the shock that burst in her heart, she slowly turned her head to look at Yeruashi who appeared beside her.
Such power...
Yeruashi, has he already become a god?
Some of the people in Roran trembled and began to shout.
"It's a miracle..."
"A divine miracle!"
It is a miracle!
Turning a huge desert into a dense forest....
One person can't have that kind of power!
Some of the citizens of Roran fell to their knees, beginning to bow to the forest that appeared, and upon seeing this, the rest of the people also gradually began to kneel one by one.
...
49 years since the founding of Konoha.
September 11.
In the middle of the desert, on the border between the Wind Country and the Fire Country, a huge and vast forest appeared in one day.
The neighboring countries were very surprised and immediately sent ninjas to investigate. When they arrived at the City-Kingdom of Roran, located in the heart of the forest, they were able to discover that this forest was created by the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi.
A couple of weeks later.
The news spread throughout the ninja world.
As the news spread, the title of the Silver Sparkle of Konoha began to disappear from the ninja world, being replaced by another.
The same title as the legendary Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage of Konoha who ended the Age of the Fighting Kingdoms and founded Konoha....
Ninja God!
