After leaving Tazuna's house, Yang Jiu did not immediately set off for the Land of Water.
Since he was already here, he might as well complete a mission first.
In the Wolf Travels the World mission, one objective was to leave a "Legend of the Wolf King" in three different places.
The Land of Waves, wasn't this just perfect?
He transformed into a streak of lightning, traveling through the clouds, and soon arrived above a massive manor.
He looked down.
The manor covered a vast area with high walls, but inside was a living hell on earth—
Countless people in rags were being driven like livestock to work; some carried heavy cargo, while others were drenched in sweat at construction sites.
Samurai holding weapons patrolled the surroundings, and any slackness was met with a whip. The sound of whipping, screams, and pleas for mercy drifted faintly, sounding exceptionally desolate in the wind.
And in the very center of the manor, inside that magnificent main hall.
The black-hearted tycoon who controlled the lifeblood of the Land of Waves—Gato—was drinking with two glamorous women in his arms.
He bared his mouth full of yellow teeth and laughed arrogantly:
"Hahaha! Those peasants still dare to resist? Tomorrow, cut their rations by half again!"
He took a large gulp of wine and wiped his mouth.
"That Zabuza Momochi is simply trash! He couldn't even deal with the Ninja that old fogey Tazuna hired!"
A lackey nearby immediately flattered him, "Sir is wise. That Zabuza is just a washed-up rogue Ninja; how could he compare to your financial power?"
"Hmph!"
Gato snorted coldly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"If he can't solve it, I have plenty of money!"
"Go put the word out in the underworld—invite that legendary mercenary, Kakuzu!"
"Let that old man know the consequences of offending me, Gato!"
Just as he finished speaking.
Rumble—!!!
The entire manor shook violently!
Wine glasses rolled off the table and shattered, and the two glamorous women screamed as they fell to the floor.
Gato himself slid straight off his chair and fell flat on his back on the ground.
"Wh-what's going on! Is it an earthquake!"
He scrambled to his feet and stumbled out of the main hall.
Then.
The afternoon sun should have been bright and dazzling.
But at this moment—
The sunlight vanished.
The entire manor, along with the surrounding miles of land, was shrouded in a massive shadow.
Gato stiffly raised his head.
In the sky.
A giant wolf was taking shape.
That was no ordinary giant wolf.
It was a monster completely condensed from golden lightning—over a thousand meters long, blotting out the sky and completely blocking the sun!
Its body was like a continuous mountain range, coiling and lurking in the sky.
Golden lightning leaped and crackled around its body, each thunderclap shaking the earth. Those eyes were two rounds of burning suns, looking down from above at the tiny manor below.
The entire Land of Waves could see this thunder wolf.
Countless people put down their work and looked up at the sky, dumbfounded.
Some knelt down.
Some were moved to tears.
Some murmured: "God... God has descended..."
Inside the manor.
The samurai holding weapons froze in place one by one, their weapons slipping from their hands. Some collapsed and knelt. Some turned to run, only to find their legs wouldn't listen at all.
The enslaved people looked up at the giant golden wolf in the sky, the numbness in their eyes gradually replaced by hope.
And Gato—
His legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.
His crotch was wet.
In the sky.
Yang Jiu stood at the center of the thousand-meter thunder wolf's brow, looking down at the ant-like figure below.
The afternoon sun shone from behind him, plating him with a holy golden edge.
His voice spread through the heaven and earth via lightning, like a divine proclamation:
"Gato."
"Your crimes are heinous. This Wolf King shall grant you the Punishment of Thunder!"
The voice was low like thunder, each word making the air buzz and vibrate, spreading across the entire island.
Gato's whole body trembled violently as he looked up at the giant golden wolf that blotted out the sky. His mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, but he couldn't utter a single word.
His mind was a complete blank.
Only one thought remained—
God...
God has descended...
"No... no..."
He slumped on the ground, trying to crawl backward with his hands and feet, but he didn't even have the strength to move.
The wetness in his crotch had already spread, but he was completely unaware.
"Spare... spare my life... I have money... I have so much money... I'll give it all to you... all to you..."
He kowtowed frantically, his forehead hitting the ground until it was a bloody mess.
In the sky.
Yang Jiu looked at the ant-like figure begging for mercy below, his golden eyes showing no emotion.
The thousand-meter thunder wolf slowly raised its head and opened its lightning-filled maw.
A ball of thunderous light slowly condensed.
The movement was very slow, slow enough for everyone to clearly see the light condensed from golden lightning.
But that kind of pressure made it impossible for people even to breathe.
Gato's eyes widened, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
"No—!!!"
Boom—!!!
A golden pillar of lightning descended from the heavens!
No screams.
No struggle.
Only the blinding golden light and the deafening roar of thunder.
Three seconds later.
The thunderous light dissipated.
In its place was only a charred giant pit a hundred meters deep.
The manor, Gato, the samurai, the henchmen—
All turned to ash.
As for the enslaved commoners, they had already been pushed out of the manor's range by an invisible force a moment before the lightning fell.
They knelt at the edge of the giant pit, looking at the golden figure gradually dissipating in the sky, their faces covered in tears.
"Thank you, God, for appearing..."
"Thank you... thank you..."
An old man kowtowed tremblingly.
A woman held her child, sobbing uncontrollably.
A young man looked at the sky, a light never seen before burning in his eyes.
In the sky.
Yang Jiu withdrew his ability, and the thousand-meter thunder wolf slowly dissipated.
He looked down at the System panel.
[Legend of the Wolf King: 1/3]
[Land of Waves: Legend left—The Thunder God descends to the world, slaying the evil tyrant]
The corners of Yang Jiu's mouth curled up slightly.
"Done."
A flash of golden lightning, and he disappeared into the horizon.
Leaving behind only the charred giant pit and countless kneeling commoners.
From this day on, a new legend was added to the Land of Waves—
A Thunder God once descended from the sky, leveling Gato's manor with a single claw and saving the people from fire and water.
And the appearance of that Thunder God was a thousand-meter-long golden giant wolf.
People called it—
wolf god.
—
Outside Tazuna's house.
Kakashi leaned against a tree trunk, holding the already empty wine bottle, staring blankly at the distant sky.
Naruto lay on a stretcher, still wrapped like a mummy, mumbling something about "definitely defeating it in five years."
Sakura stood guard nearby, sighing from time to time. Sasuke leaned against the wall, eyes closed in a nap.
Everything was peaceful.
Until—
Rumble!!!
In the distant horizon, a blinding golden light suddenly lit up!
Immediately after, a golden giant wolf that blotted out the sky appeared in the heavens!
The giant wolf was a thousand meters long, condensed from pure golden lightning; every strand of fur was a leaping electrical arc, and every breath was accompanied by deafening thunder.
It just crouched there in the sky, completely blocking the afternoon sun, the shadow it cast covering the entire island.
The wine bottle in Kakashi's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."
His pupils contracted violently, and his whole body froze in place.
Naruto's mouth hung wide open, forgetting even to breathe.
Sakura's legs went weak, and she sat directly on the ground.
Sasuke snapped his eyes open, and in those pitch-black eyes, the giant golden wolf that blotted out the sky was reflected—along with a faint figure upon it.
"Is that... that Wolf King?"
Sakura's voice trembled beyond recognition.
No one answered her.
Because everyone was staring in awe.
