Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 294 The Terrifying Lightning of Ruin

"Sakumo-kun, this is not the time for jokes!"

Orochimaru turned around, looked at his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, with a serious expression, and reminded him again: "This time, the density of that brat's Sand Iron Lightning Realm attack will be unavoidable for you. No matter how fast you are, it won't help, Sagumo-kun."

"Don't worry." Lightning Release clone - White Fang smiled confidently, then said seriously, "I would never joke with my own life, Orochimaru-kun."

Orochimaru took a deep look at the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, and couldn't see what gave this genius of his generation the confidence to withstand such an attack.

But since he said so, I'll just have to wait and see.

Orochimaru's Wood Release clone stopped talking, but didn't leave either. He stood next to his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, in case things got really bad and he might be able to save him.

Rumble!

At this moment, the dark, heavy iron-rich clouds above had gathered, covering an area of ​​three kilometers in radius. Bolts of lightning, as thick as bowls, moved like dragons and snakes within the iron-rich clouds.

In order to kill Konoha's White Fang in one blow and give him no chance to dodge, Sasori extracted all the chakra inside the entire giant puppet heart at once, even extracting most of the chakra from his own life puppet heart.

Thick layers of iron sand clouds, rolling thunderbolts, and a deafening roar echoed in all directions.

Even from several kilometers away, the terrifying scene here can still be seen.

"Sasori of the Red Sand should be called Sasori of Thunder!"

"That kind of attack is beyond human capability. I hope Lord Orochimaru and Lord Sakumo can handle it."

The Konoha ninjas who had dispersed from their base saw the thick iron sand barrier crackling with lightning in the distance and silently prayed for Orochimaru and his lightning clone, White Fang.

"Where's Konoha's White Fang?"

Above the sand-iron clouds, a scorpion standing on a giant black sand-iron sphere asked its companion a question.

The man replied, "He didn't run away; instead, he released a powerful burst of chakra. It seems he's preparing to block your attack, sir."

"He didn't run away?" Sasori was somewhat surprised, but then he understood and laughed, "That makes sense. After all, he's a renowned powerhouse in the ninja world. How could he possibly run away as soon as he encountered me?"

Since you're not going to run away, let me see what you have to use to withstand the ultimate artistic power released by my Magnet Puppet Heart.

"Ninja Technique - Ten Thousand Thunder Down Path!"

Boom!

In an instant, a tremendous thunderclap filled an area of ​​seven kilometers in radius, and a huge blue-white lightning bolt illuminated the entire world.

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang: The only color that comes into view is blue and white, with no other colors.

Clang!

The densely packed iron sand lightning fell like sharp blades in an instant. Tens of thousands of lightning bolts fell above the head of Lightning Release Clone - White Fang. The density was so great that it was impossible to dodge them.

This is a saturation attack; you either need to hide underground as soon as possible, or you can only take the hit.

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang's choice was neither to hide underground nor to withstand the attack head-on.

Instead... without a sound, gray lightning flashed instantly above the Lightning Release clone - Whitehead, protecting him and Orochimaru's Wood Release clone.

Just as the attack combining iron sand and lightning struck, a gray, dilapidated lightning bolt flickered and made close contact with the first iron sand lightning strike.

Then, something terrifying happened to Orochimaru.

The light was a pale, gray, broken lightning bolt, without any intense flashes or loud roars, and it seemed to have little power.

But the moment the Thunder of Ruin collided with the lightning strikes from the Iron Sand Realm, the lightning strikes, which were composed of iron sand and lightning, instantly turned into gray powder.

Before it even started, the Lightning of Ruin was like a drop of thick ink entering a white liquid, instantly extending outwards along the trail of iron sand lightning.

The speed is as fast as the speed at which lightning travels through iron sand.

In an instant, even the sand and iron lightning cloud layer covering a radius of three kilometers in the sky was covered by this gray, broken lightning.

"not good!!!"

Above the sand and iron cloud, a terrifying sense of death swept over. Scorpion's puppet body instantly felt its hair stand on end. Instinctively, it swiftly manipulated the sand and iron cloud beneath its feet to fly back into the sky, away from the sand and iron cloud below... No, it was no longer the sand and iron cloud.

"What happened?"

"What is this?"

The scorpion puppet's eyes were filled with deep incomprehension and fear of the unknown.

The thick, iron-sand cloud that had been shimmering with lightning was gone, replaced by a continuous stream of gray powder drifting in the wind.

The sand and iron mine boundary covering an area of ​​three kilometers in radius was instantly turned into a pile of gray dust floating in the air.

A strong, rotten smell filled the air, like suddenly being in an underground ruin tens of thousands of years old, where the stones had all weathered into powder.

The scorpion was above, completely unaware of what was happening below.

Why did his vast and expansive Sand Iron Thunder Realm transform into this state in the blink of an eye?

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"

Beside Sasori, the three Sand Shinobi, while still shocked and terrified, also felt a deep sense of relief.

Fortunately, Lord Scorpion had managed to separate one layer of sand and iron clouds from the layer below it from the beginning.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They absolutely could not withstand that bizarre and terrifying ninjutsu attack.

"..."

Orochimaru raised his head, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.

Looking at the gray powder falling from the sky, his wide eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

That's the Sand Iron Thunder Realm!

Even his Wood Release: Tree World couldn't withstand the Sand Iron Lightning World!

The Sand Iron Lightning Realm is so powerful that even Orochimaru, the leader of the Sannin, can only fight by hiding in the tree roots underground!

The Sand Iron Lightning Realm, which Orochimaru has been unable to deal with to this day.

But now, what has Zuoyun-kun done?

A gray lightning bolt flashed, and the Sand Iron Lightning Realm, which he thought would be half-crippled even if a tailed beast came, instantly turned into a pile of gray powder.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Orochimaru immediately turned around and stared intently at his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, his burning eyes gleaming with intense thirst for knowledge.

For Orochimaru, who yearns to learn all the ninjutsu in the world, the gray lightning that his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, had just unleashed was so powerful and had such a miraculous effect that it made him feel like an old lecher encountering a peerless beauty—he desperately wanted to possess her.

It even gave him the urge to immediately capture this fellow villager ninja and take him to his research base to dissect and study him.

However, the moment Orochimaru saw the gray lightning flashing on his Lightning Release clone, White Fang, the fervor in his eyes instantly subsided and disappeared into the depths of his gaze.

Even the vast Sand Iron Lightning Realm couldn't stop the gray lightning, instantly turning it into gray powder.

He will most likely face the same fate as Zuo Yunjun now.

"This is a secret lightning technique I've developed over the past few years - Lightning of Ruin."

Lightning Release Clone - White Fang withdrew his satisfied gaze and naturally told Orochimaru about his ninjutsu. Then he turned to look at Orochimaru and smiled, "How is it? Orochimaru-kun, the power is not bad, is it?"

It's not just good, its power is terrifying.

Orochimaru shook his head with lingering fear, then nodded, and exclaimed in a somewhat dazed expression, "Very strong!"

It was so powerful that Orochimaru realized for the first time that the Wood Release ninjutsu used by the First Hokage to quell the chaos of the world was nothing special.

He reached out and pinched a patch of gray powder that had fallen onto his shoulder, rubbed it, and his expression changed slightly again.

This is not iron filings!

It's actually a stone powder!

It completely altered matter... no, even energies like lightning and chakra were transformed into this stone-like powder.

terrible!

Thunder of Ruin!

What kind of bloodline limit is this?

Does the Hatake clan also possess this Lightning Release Kekkei Genkai?

I really want to take a piece of flesh and blood from Zuo Yunjun's body and study it!

Orochimaru's strong scientific spirit resurfaced, but he guessed wrong, still believing that the Lightning Release clone - White Fang's Destruction Lightning was a bloodline inheritance.
