In the Land of Fire, within Konohagakure Village,
While the shinobi world's wars brought many tales of sorrow to various nations,
Within Konohagakure Village, an atmosphere of peace prevailed.
Throughout history, only powerful nations had the ability to ensure their citizens' well-being.
The villagers of Konohagakure led lives vastly different from those in Amegakure.
In a remote corner of the Konoha Forest,
A graceful young girl was in the midst of training.
The girl's skin was fair and delicate, as if it were translucent jade. Her black eyes were focused intently on the scorched rock wall before her.
"O ruler of all, mask of flesh and blood, myriad forms, wings of thunder, bear the name of humanity! On the azure wall of flames, carve the twin lotuses that await in the distant heavens!"
She chanted slowly, her expression completely absorbed in the act.
When the chanting concluded, she suddenly exclaimed,
"Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui!"
Following her proclamation, her slender palm thrust forward abruptly.
As her hand moved forward, instantaneously, countless blue flames erupted from the ground!
As if bursting forth from a wellspring!
Dazzling blue columns of fire continuously shot forth from underground!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Each time, the flames erupted with tremendous sound, extending until they reached the rock wall ahead, leaving behind dark traces upon it!
After releasing this Kidō, the young girl began to breathe slightly heavily.
"I've finally completely mastered this Kidō. A person like me really has to rely on diligent practice to make progress."
She gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks and muttered to herself.
Right at this moment,
It seemed as if it heard the earlier bombardment caused by the girl's practice of Ghost Dao.
A colossal creature suddenly appeared on the scene!
"Roar!"
It raised its head and let out a fierce roar before rapidly charging towards the girl!
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
Its massive and chubby body was truly astonishing, and every time it jumped and landed, it seemed to make the earth tremble!
However, this fellow was completely unaware, swaying its furry buttocks as it rushed toward the girl!
Facing the approaching behemoth, the girl furrowed her brow slightly and raised her hand gently, chanting softly.
"Bakudō #37. Tsuriboshi!"
As her chant ended, a dense, blue, mesh-like barrier suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the path of the colossal creature.
Upon seeing this barrier, the creature became even more delighted, wiggling its rear end.
Its enormous paw stomped forcefully on the ground, and it took a step back!
"Bang!"
The ground instantly ruptured, and its plump body leaped into the air, heading straight for the mesh-like barrier.
"Squeak!"
Its massive and heavy body landed on the net, causing it to warp into a twisted shape!
The girl controlled the net and furrowed her brow slightly, gritting her teeth to maintain it.
Suddenly, she released the Bakudo!
"Bang!"
The colossal creature fell to the ground all at once, creating a deep pit in the earth and kicking up numerous dust and smoke!
As the smoke slowly dispersed, the girl saw the situation of the giant beast and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha... Hahaha... Little... bear... look at you... see if you'll still misbehave in the future... Haha."
Her young face was filled with a radiant and sunny smile as she pointed lightly at the bear, which had sunk its buttocks into the rocky soil, and said breathlessly.
"Roar?"
The thick-skinned bear couldn't feel any pain from this minor situation. It just tilted its large head and made a rather human-like sound while looking at the girl.
"Are you trying to say that Sosuke likes playing with you?" The girl walked lightly in front of the bear, hands behind her back, blinking her big eyes as she spoke softly.
"Roar~ Roar~"
It seemed that mentioning Sosuke's name made the bear instantly happy, and it began to roar with excitement.
Little did it know that before it could get too excited...
"Pat!"
The girl looked at it with indignation and gently patted its large, black nose with her fair hand.
Though it didn't hurt, it left the bear staring blankly with its big eyes at the girl before it.
"Hmph! It's all your fault! You've been dragging Sosuke into these boring games every time he comes over!"
"You're already so big, why do you still insist on playing such childish games with Sosuke!"
"You really are an immature little bear!"
As if insulted by the girl's words, the bear's large eyes suddenly revealed a hint of hurt.
"Boom!" With a loud noise!
It crawled out of the rocky soil, casting a deep, aggrieved glance at the girl, as if its bear dignity had been greatly insulted. Then, it turned its furry, plump buttocks and ran deep into the forest.
Watching this scene, the girl was momentarily stunned and mumbled to herself.
"Did I say something too harsh... maybe... I should apologize to it next time..."
"Alright... next time, I'll buy some delicious food for the little bear... and sincerely apologize..."
...Turning its plump buttocks, the little bear bounced back into the depths of the forest, like a small hill walking in the Wood Leaf Forest.
Its growth trajectory seemed to have changed since the day it met Sosuke.
Perhaps it wasn't even aware that subtle changes were happening within it every moment, changes that were bestowed upon it by Itsuki based on its inner desires.
It liked to eat, so its size had already surpassed its mother's!
Now, there was no doubt that it was one of the beings in this forest that couldn't be provoked.
Suddenly.
"Hiss..."
In the forest, a hissing sound suddenly rang out.
The little bear shook its short, furry ears, revealing a curious expression as it glanced around.
Not far away, a massive, vibrant python was hanging from a thick tree trunk, gently exhaling venom, seemingly threatening it.
However, the little bear paid no attention, as if it had seen a new toy, and slowly moved its plump body toward the colorful python.
"Hiss!"
As it approached, the python's hissing became more urgent!
But the little bear just stared at the colorful python with curious big eyes!
It seemed that since it had been with its mother, it had never seen such a large snake... could snakes really grow this big?
Out of curiosity, the little bear extended its large bear paw.
"Hiss!"
But before it could even touch the python, the massive snake bit its nose in one gulp!
"Roar!"
The intense pain instantly triggered the little bear's wild nature!
Its plump flesh seemed to instantly transform into incredibly strong muscles!
"Howl!!!"
Two thick bear paws suddenly slapped the python's body vigorously!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The terrifying power that the little bear suddenly erupted with left the python with no time to react!
The panic in
its snake eyes had yet to fade!
Its entire body was crushed by the bear's paws!
It still didn't give up!
The little bear used its large bear paws to firmly grip the snake's body and tossed it back and forth on the ground!
"Crack!" "Crack!"...
The earth was shaking!
After a long while, the terrifying sounds finally stopped!
Within a radius of several dozen meters, the thick and strong trees had all snapped!
The little bear sat on the shattered body of the python, repeatedly touching its own nose with its large bear paws. Its big bear eyes were filled with a sense of grievance.
Mom... my nose... it hurts so much...
...
At the same time.
In Konohagakure, a pale-faced young man with black hair slightly furrowed his brow.
"What's wrong, Orochimaru?"
Seeing his change in expression, a white-haired young man next to him asked in confusion.
Orochimaru shook his head gently and spoke in a low voice.
"It's nothing, Jiraiya."
