Chapter 403

"It requires no food, sleep, or breath, does not age, and suffers no adverse physiological effects from prolonged exposure to extreme heat or intense radiation."

Inside Orochimaru's secret base.

Watching the data on the light screen, Orochimaru nodded repeatedly.

This was another creature that did not age; however, this current Jin Wu,

compared to all the anomalous containment objects that had appeared before, had one point where it was even more awesome:

this Jin Wu not only did not age, but also did not eat, breathe, sleep, or even damn well excrete?

?????

What the hell kind of strange and weird existence is this!

At this moment, the light screen in the sky was also continuously updating.

"No communication has ever been observed from Anomalous Containment Object-1428-1; its intelligence level is unknown."

"Anomalous Containment Object-1428-1 possesses three states: Inert State, Passive State, and Activated State."

"When in the Inert State, it exhibits no anomalies other than the aforementioned properties."

"When in the Passive State, it begins to emit gamma rays of varying intensities."

"The radiation intensity shows no clear pattern over time, generally ranging between 5 and 90 W/m², though it occasionally reaches 150 W/m². Photon energy fluctuates between 1 and 1.5 MeV."

Watching the content on the light screen, the Toad Sage frowned slightly.

"Entering the Passive State causes it to emit radiation."

Looking at the familiar radiation data on the light screen, the Toad Sage muttered incessantly, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

According to the ordering on the light screen, the Jin Wu in its Inert State was just a harmless little baby.

But after entering the Passive State, it would emit powerful radiation.

This... stirred a bit of curiosity in people's hearts; if it was already so awesome in the Passive State,

then when this Jin Wu is in the Activated State, just how awesome an existence will it be?

Just at this moment, a new piece of data appeared on the light screen in the sky.

Upon seeing this new data,

even someone as calm as the Toad Sage could not help but exclaim, "Holy crap."

"When in the Activated State, Anomalous Containment Object-1428-1 generates plasma and thermal energy, consistent with solar corona behavior."

"It also releases a gamma-ray burst with exponentially increasing intensity (the highest recorded level being 340 W/m², 20 MeV). Although the thermal effects caused by the Activated State last only for an instant,"

"and are confined to the immediate vicinity of Anomalous Containment Object-1428-1, due to the immense amount released, it invariably results in catastrophic damage."

Watching the content within the light screen, Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto both gasped sharply.

What the hell... is it really that fierce?

Now Yakushi Kabuto finally understood why, within the records of the Anomalous Containment Facility,

such a small anomalous containment object was referred to alongside the sun.

When this guy entered the Activated State, the temperature it released

was simply identical to that of the sun.

They also understood why, when ten Jin Wu appeared, the Ape Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom suffered so terribly,

and why, when the Jin Wu fell, it destroyed the entire Xia Kingdom.

This was damn well ten suns! For such an existence, if it fell without destroying the world, that would be a ghost story!

At the same time, segments of data continued to appear within the light screen.

"After entering the Activated State, Anomalous Containment Object-1428-1 begins to emit auroral bands consistent with solar radiation behavior."

"These auroral bands induce a compulsive effect in human observers, causing them to attempt to approach the source of the aurora."

"Individuals affected by this effect show absolutely no response to external stimuli and engage in no activities other than approaching the aurora's source."

"The auroral bands persist for approximately one day after the Activated State ends."

Watching the content within the light screen,

Tsunade and the others instantly widened their eyes.

This anomalous containment object was also a reality bender.

Like all the reality benders that had appeared before, the Jin Wu could also control humans.

This also reminded Tsunade of what the light screen had said earlier regarding the sun's believers.

It turned out it was all due to the influence of the aurora released by this anomalous containment object.

One capable of releasing rays powerful enough to destroy the world, and also able to control humans—

it was a good thing it hadn't appeared in their world like the Fallen Qin Huang before; otherwise, who knew what kind of blow the Ninja World would suffer.

Just as Tsunade and the others were feeling shocked,

visible ripples emanated from the body of the Jin Wu upon the light screen.

Immediately after, the Jin Wu actually emitted a sharp shriek that tore through the sky.

Hmm... no, perhaps it couldn't be called a shriek; this sound was actually more like an extremely mournful scream of agony.

Hearing the agonized scream emitted by the Jin Wu, Tsunade and the others outside the light screen couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Even Onoki, who had been lying on a lounge chair eating a popsicle, now sat up straight, staring at the events unfolding on the light screen with terrified eyes.

"Why do I feel a creeping sense of horror when I hear this shriek?"

"This cry, the more I listen to it, the more mournful it sounds, and it even gives people a feeling of oppressive heat."

"Let's just say, is there a possibility that the Jin Wu might actually be in our world? After all, today's sun is exceptionally hotter than before."

"Damn! Damn! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This Jin Wu absolutely cannot have appeared in our world!"

Just as the people of the Ninja World were discussing,

Inside the containment base, watching the Jin Wu that had appeared in the parallel world,

Lu Chen let out a soft sigh, then picked up a precious sword from before him and handed it to the burly man standing behind him.

"Go, slay this last one and fulfill your wish."

Watching the Jin Wu on the light screen, which was emitting waves of light while letting out a mournful shriek,

Naruto couldn't help but shudder all over,

"Why do I feel so feverish all over just seeing this Jin Wu? Even eating a popsicle isn't helping at all?"

Just as Naruto kept muttering to himself,

he turned his head and found that Jiraiya beside him was already drenched in sweat, with the popsicle in his hand completely melted.

At the same time, within the light screen,

that mournful shriek did not last long; soon the Jin Wu stopped screaming,

and as its shrieking ceased, the Jin Wu flapped its wings, flew up into the sky, and merged with the sun hanging high above, becoming a single entity.

Immediately after, the scene on the light screen remained fixed on the sun suspended high in the sky,

and after an unknown amount of time, the image on the light screen suddenly began to move.

The interface on the light screen also divided into more than ten sections, clearly showing the various villages and nations within the ninja world of that realm.

And when the people of the ninja world saw the scene within the light screen,

everyone was so shocked by what they witnessed that they were rendered speechless.

"This... how is this possible! No matter how powerful this Jin Wu is, it shouldn't be able to turn the world into this state!"

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable; I have lived this long, yet this is the most shocking thing I have ever seen!"

"Even all the abnormal containment objects that appeared before never did something like this! This is simply slaughter!"

No matter what, no one in the entire ninja world could believe that their world would one day become like this.

At this moment, within the ninja world of that realm, the land of the ninja world had completely lost its former vitality,

the earth was cracked, trees were withered, and even the seawater had completely dried up,

the entire world seemed to be inside a scorching furnace,

and even from outside the light screen, the people of the ninja world could clearly see the surging waves of heat.

Across the streets, apart from corpses that had long been roasted into white bones,
