Takeshi's G potion wasn't a poison, but a sinister form of genetic invasion. Injecting wood release cells led to an almost 100% fatality rate, making it deadlier than the most dreaded poison!
For the average person, there was no antidote to this poison.
Of course, it was highly refined and intended for specific scenarios. It required considerable time to mature, lest it be wasted.
In this instance, the flesh and blood turned into the growth nutrients of Nightingale vines, akin to Takeshi's snake army, sweeping through the Sand Village ninja like an unstoppable torrent of living flesh!
Takeshi didn't cease the Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes. From his mouth and sleeves, snakes flowed endlessly. He demonstrated the profound nature of Uncle Snake's nightmare ninjutsu, overwhelming with sheer numbers.
"How... how do you possess so much chakra?"
Nightingale, beside him, was utterly astonished. Having already exhausted herself using Wood Release, Takeshi's true strength was finally unveiled.
In reality, not even Takeshi possessed as much chakra. Out of Nightingale's sight, countless red auras infiltrated Takeshi's body, progressively enhancing his chakra, mental fortitude, and physique.
This was the power bestowed by the fallen ninjas. While most of them were of a low level, their collective impact was profound. War, indeed, was best for his growth.
"All ninjas capable of fire release, incinerate these hellish beings!"
Sand Ninjas retreated repeatedly. Nightingale's wood release still held limitations. Fire-using ninja who could release the flames strained to refine chakra, aiming to obliterate this nightmarish spectacle.
One after another, the ninja emerged, cordoning off the area. Fire users then displayed their prowess, billowing black smoke akin to humanoid flamethrowers.
"The chaos is ample. Despite the Sand Shinobi breaking through our blockade thanks to their numerical superiority, their vision is also obstructed. Let us conclude this mission."
It wasn't surprising that Sand Ninja employed fire release against Nightingale and his own ninjutsu. However, the vast sky of flames would also hinder them, offering opportunities for various actions.
"Very well. In truth, Sand Ninja should refrain from using fire release. While my wood release pales compared to Hashirama-sama's, it isn't easily incinerated!"
Nightingale declared, her tone filled with pride.
"Oh?"
Takeshi abruptly turned his head, carefully observing Nightingale's vines.
"Poison?!"
Takeshi was taken aback. Clearly, Nightingale's plants weren't simple. Once burned, they emitted copious smoke with paralyzing effects. Many Sand Ninja had already succumbed to the smoke's drowsy embrace.
"This effect is rather reminiscent of the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees Wood Release ninjutsu. Passive though it may be, Nightingale's Wood Release potential remains immense. The might of Wood Release bloodline limit should not be underestimated."
Takeshi mused silently. "This will magnify the impact of my next arrangement."
"Curse it, this smoke is toxic! Disperse it with water!"
Sand Ninja hurriedly extinguished the flames. Though frantic, Takeshi had already readied a ninjutsu, discreetly pressing his hands to the ground.
"Boom—!"
A colossal plume of smoke surged forth, yet nobody discerned the tumultuous events unfolding. Then, an immense, robust silhouette materialized within the smoke, initiating a relentless assault!
"This... this is!" Nightingale was flabbergasted.
"Advance with me! I refuse to believe that those two Konoha shinobi can withstand our numbers! They must be depleted. Cover your mouths and noses with damp cloth, follow me, and we'll crush them!"
A Jonin Sand Ninja dashed into the smoke, ninja blade brandished. A dozen of his comrades followed suit, converging towards Takeshi and his companions.
"Lord Yuzuru is formidable!"
"Annihilate these wretches who dare attack us!"
Several Sand Ninja, already paralyzed on the ground, cheered vehemently. This was their sole recourse.
Yet, as Jonin and several Sand Ninja surged into the smoke, an indescribably horrific sight materialized, one that would haunt them eternally.
A gargantuan maw pierced the veil of smoke, lined with dagger-like teeth and emanating a putrid odor. A serpentine beast of tremendous proportions, stretching tens of meters, devoured Jonin and numerous ninja in a single gulp. Even the earth vanished within its colossal jaws.
Sand Ninja, once brimming with confidence, were consumed by the colossal snake within seconds, akin to morsels offered to its gaping maw—no chance to resist.
"This, this, what manner of monstrosity is this?!"
Several Sand Ninja, prone on the ground, gaped in disbelief, stricken by panic that stifled their cries. They stared at the gouge etched onto the ground, their composure shattered.
"Hahaha, so many two-legged morsels here, what a delectable feast!"
The hundred-meter-long Snake maneuvered effortlessly, a scavenger amid chaos, consuming panicking prey like a relentless devourer. Sand Ninja were left with an unforgettable memory.
The large body of Manda was its greatest weapon, every collision and bite beyond the retaliation of ordinary ninja. Especially in a battlefield cloaked by smoke.
Damn it, annihilate that damned snake, how could it claim so many lives!"
Countless Sand Ninja molded hand seals, inundating the snake's form with a barrage of ninjutsu. Even the snake's formidable hide could not withstand such a fusillade. Its size proved its Achilles' heel.
"Release!"
Takeshi sneered, refusing Sand Ninja the opportunity to deal grave injury to Manda. Dissipating his Summoning Justu, Takeshi recalled Manda.
"Little devil, this time your uncle indulged heartily. I'm thoroughly satisfied. Remember me for the next opportunity involving such a splendid morsel!"
In mere minutes, Manda consumed dozens. The ninja it consumed generously bolstered Takeshi's own energy. It seemed summoning beasts offered a conduit to harnessing deceased's power.
At present, Takeshi understood the rudiments of this peculiar ability, yet its core essence eluded him.
"This is... your strength?!"
Nightingale, upon witnessing Takeshi's elated expression, was astounded.
