In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 101: Immortal Chakra, I'm lucky this time
"Take care, everyone. Thank you for your help during this time."

A few days later, at the gate of Sand Village.

The three Gaara siblings are seeing off Team 8.

Gaara, who was completely different from a few months ago, had become polite and elegant. He, along with his sister and brother, bowed to Team 8 to express his gratitude.

"Don't be so polite, otherwise it will seem that we are too rude."

Yagyu teased, "After all, we didn't give you this kind of treatment last time we saw you off."

Hearing this, Gaara's three siblings, who had been very serious, suddenly smiled.

Looking at Yagyu, who was the same age as her brother but taller than her, and whom she admired immensely for his strength, wisdom, and even worldly wisdom, Temari's heartbeat uncontrollably quickened again, and she subconsciously said, "Yagyu, the Sand Village and Konoha are allies, and you are always welcome here."

"what……"

Yagyu nodded and said with a smile: "We also welcome you to visit Konoha. I will definitely entertain you personally when the time comes."

"Then it's settled."

Temari immediately smiled brightly, which made Kurenai raise an eyebrow and couldn't help but glance at Hinata next to her.

Hinata's expression remained unchanged, and she still had a faint smile on her face.

Seeing this, Xi Ri Hong couldn't help but shake her head secretly in her heart.

I really don't know what kind of love potion Yagyu gave Hinata and the others. Not only are they so close to each other, they don't even care that Yagyu is having affairs outside.

Aren’t they afraid that Liu Sheng will really be snatched away by other girls?

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Gaara's three siblings, Yagyu waved goodbye and said, "Well, we'll take our leave then. I hope you can select the Fifth Kazekage as soon as possible and get back on track! Of course...if the Fifth Kazekage is Gaara, please be sure to send me an invitation so I can come and watch the succession ceremony."

With the last sentence, Yagyu's tone became cheerful again.

Temari also teased: "Same here, if Lady Tsunade suddenly wants to retire, please don't forget us, the future Sixth Hokage."

"Haha... I'm still a Chunin, it's still early."

"So, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Gaara's three siblings, Team 8 instantly turned into a few afterimages and disappeared.

This time they had been out for a long time to relax, so Team 8 no longer went on a sightseeing trip, but returned to Konoha at a moderate pace.

During the trip, Class 8 passed through several prosperous towns.

Yagyu bought a lot of souvenirs for Tsunade, Shizune, Karin and the other two girls, and even Hanabi.

Now Liu Sheng no longer has to worry about money.

Although Kakuzu did not carry with him the scroll containing the Akatsuki organization's funds, Kakuzu, who liked to work and earn money whether he was on the way or on the way back, had an astonishing amount of savings accumulated over decades.

Moreover, he and Hidan are both S-rank rebel ninjas, and their heads are worth tens of millions of ryo.

Although Yagyu dismembered their bodies, it did not affect his ability to obtain the astonishing bounty.

Now, Yagyu is already a billionaire.

Even if he retires now and no longer wants to be a ninja, Yagyu will never have to worry about money in his life.

"Onii-chan, thank you... Mua!"

Yagyu, who already had the privilege of entering and leaving the Hyuga clan freely, finally handed the souvenir to Hanabi, and then received a kiss on the cheek from the little loli in return.

Such intimate behavior also shows that Hanabi has completely become Yagyu's little fan girl.

Yagyu, who hadn't played with his sister-in-law for a long time, stayed in the Hyuga clan for a few hours, sparring with Hanabi, whose personality concealed a strong character, in the gym, and explaining to her the basics of practicing the Yin Seal.

At Hanabi's current age, it would take several years before she could master the Yin Seal.

But if she had mastered the Yin Seal after the end of Naruto Shippuden, then by the time Boruto follows Naruto, Hanabi's strength will definitely be enough to take on the role of the patriarch of the Hyuga clan.

After she has thoroughly mastered the basics of the Hyuga clan's soft fist, Yagyu can also train this sister-in-law in advance and let her enjoy the same treatment as Hinata.

In the evening, after eating the dinner carefully prepared by Karin, Yagyu chatted with the girl in the living room for a long time.

Nearly four months have passed since the second Chunin Exam.

During this period, Karin's spirit and energy underwent tremendous changes, and her life became extremely fulfilling.

A few months ago, her life was still dark, and her chakra was so low that it seemed as if her lifespan would be overdrawn at any time.

But now, with the amount of Karin's chakra, even without visual perception, ordinary senses can still sense her powerful aura.

With this bright red hair and powerful chakra, anyone with a little knowledge can guess Karin's identity.

In addition to the physical changes, after Karin became friends with Hinata and the other two, her personality gradually became more cheerful and she was no longer so inferior.

She did not join any team, but became Tsunade's assistant together with Shizune. During this period, she came into contact with Konoha ninjas wearing vests. In addition, as a disciple of the Hokage, Karin's aura and eyes became confident.

I'm afraid that even Karin, who was a leader in a base in Shippuden, was not as confident and powerful as Karin is now.

Apart from not yet awakening the Diamond Seal, Karin has the same innate talent for chakra control as Sakura, as well as a talent for sealing techniques, and her chakra volume is greater than the sum of the three Hinata girls combined. This makes Karin's water jutsu as exaggerated as Yagyu's, and it also allows her to practice advanced medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques with twice the result with half the effort.

If this continues, Karin will definitely be the first person to master the super-powerful punch.

By then, her strength will undoubtedly be No. 1 among the four girls, and she will be more like Tsunade's direct disciple than Shizune.

Witnessing the changes in Karin with his own eyes, Yagyu felt extremely gratified.

So after cheering the girl up, Yagyu returned to the room, created a wooden clone, and used the Mayfly Technique to quietly leave Konoha, and arrived inside the ancient ruins in a few hours.

Mu's clone, who had received the news in advance, had already lit candles inside the ancient ruins. The candlelight shone on the ground, making the ore that had also been dug out from the ground emit a flickering green light.

These ores are all Grayl stones that have not yet been refined.

As his body emerged from the ground, Yagyu immediately and impatiently picked up a piece of Grayl Stone the size of his head.

Blue chakra covered the palm of his hand, and the invisible suction force drew out the special energy contained in the stone and penetrated into Yagyu's body.

Just like the Hungry Ghost Path of the Rinnegan, Wood Release also has the ability to absorb energy.

Whether it is the chakra in ninjutsu or the physical and mental energy of the human body, Wood Release can absorb it.

Similarly, Yagyu doesn't need to learn the crappy chakra absorption like Akadoh Kai, he himself has the top-level chakra absorption.

"Humph……"

The special energy, which had not been refined and was not absorbed with the assistance of the ancient kingdom's technology, only seeped into Yagyu's body bit by bit. Yagyu immediately stopped absorbing it and let out a muffled groan.

If you look closely, you will find that Liu Sheng's expression has become ferocious for a moment, and a red light full of hostility flashed in his eyes. If someone can sense emotions, they will also find that Liu Sheng's emotions have also changed and he is generating negative emotions.

It took Yagyu a long time to recover, and he murmured, "Is this the effect of natural energy? My emotions suddenly became violent, and my mind was out of control, but I didn't turn into stone. Is this similar to Jūgo's transformation into a fairy?"

After absorbing only a little bit of special energy, Yagyu saw the price of excessive absorption.

If an ordinary person absorbs this energy, his body will become like a wild beast, his personality will get out of control like a runaway beast, and eventually his body will collapse on its own.

Even after dilution and absorption, the skin will turn brown and black, and the personality will be as violent as a wild beast. If this ability is used for a long time, the body will still collapse and die.

Even Yagyu, who possesses the body of an immortal, and Jūgo, who is born with the ability to absorb natural energy, will become immortals and lose control if they absorb too much natural energy.

However, the special energy in the Gray Stone includes not only natural energy but also huge life energy.

This energy had no effect on Yagyu. After absorbing it, he felt as comfortable as taking a hot spring bath.

If a large amount of this life force is absorbed, the power of Yagyu's Yang Release Chakra and Wood Release will increase dramatically. Perhaps he will be able to convert the huge amount of chakra into Wood Release Chakra in an instant and create a huge wooden man, instead of requiring continuous conversion of Wood Release Chakra and release of the tree world to descend.

The special energy within these stones is now one positive and one negative.

As long as Yagyu can merge the negative natural energy with his own chakra to form fairy chakra, these Grayl stones will be the greatest tonic for him.

So, Yagyu formed a seal with one hand, and a branch extended from his body, quickly turning into a wooden clone that looked exactly like him.

Then, Yagyu grabbed the Grayl Stone, which was the size of his head, with both hands and absorbed the special energy inside again.

This time, Yagyu no longer simply tried it, but directly absorbed the special energy inside.

As all the special energy poured out and penetrated into Yagyu's body, the Gray Stone, which was flickering with green light under the candlelight, immediately turned into an ordinary, dull stone.

It's like jade has become a stone that can be seen everywhere on the road.

At the same time, a ferocious expression appeared on Yagyu's face again, and a violent aura emanated from his whole body.

The fair skin turned brown and black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the red pupils of the eyes, from which the cosmetic lenses had been removed, slowly turned into yellow vertical pupils, like a wild beast.

A terrifying aura emanated from Yagyu's body, as scary as a demon walking out of the abyss.

Just when Yagyu was about to transform into a sage, the wooden clone next to him suddenly put his hand on his shoulder and used chakra absorption to suck out the special energy from his body.

Yagyu almost lost his mind, but immediately regained his consciousness.

However, the wooden clone that absorbed the special energy began to transform into an immortal.

Whoosh...

Several afterimages appeared in an instant, and put their hands on Mu's clone, dividing the special energy in his body into several parts and sucking it out.

Not long after, the skin of several wooden clones turned brown and black, and their eyes turned into yellow animal pupils, but they did not lose their minds immediately like Yagyu did before.

So, several wood clones sat down cross-legged together, trying to fuse the natural energy in the special energy with the chakra.

After regaining his sanity, Yagyu once again used the wood clone technique to create a group of wood clones to guard other wood clones and observe the changes in these wood clones.

Once a wood clone completely goes out of control, the remaining wood clones will absorb some of the special energy of these wood clones.

Soon, the number of wooden clones increased, dividing the special energy in one Gray Stone into nearly a hundred parts.

Even so, one of the wooden clones lost control.

Before Yagyu could create another wooden clone to help him dilute the special energy in his body, this wooden clone used the Mayfly Technique to leave the ancient ruins.

Rumble…

The violent vibration caused Yagyu's body to shake slightly.

After turning on his red eyes, Yagyu was surprised and happy.

I saw a towering tree hundreds of meters tall growing underground somewhere in the mountains.

This towering tree is the transformation of the wood clone.

This is different from the shadow clone, which will feed back memories, experiences, and even natural energy to the original body after it is released.

The wood clone is a more independent individual than the shadow clone. It can transmit information to the original body in real time. When it is released, it will either turn into a seed or a small tree.

But now, how can this be a small tree? !

The wooden clone that absorbed the energy of the Gray Stone not only has violent natural energy in its body, but also enormous life force.

These two energies directly transformed the small tree transformed by the wooden clone into a hundred-meter-tall tree.

This is why the Grayl Stone can create wells that never dry up, and livestock that grow overnight.

Fearing that these wooden clones would destroy the ancient ruins, Yagyu quickly used the Multiple Wooden Clone Technique again to evenly distribute the special energy in their bodies.

As the special energy was divided into hundreds of parts, the immortalization of all the wood clones was released.

Not long after, a large number of wooden clones opened their eyes, shook their heads at Liu Sheng's original body and said, "The energy is gone. We failed."

Obviously, they failed to fuse the senjutsu chakra and also exhausted the natural energy in their bodies.

Yagyu was not surprised by this.

He didn't expect to be able to learn Sage Mode from a piece of stone.

However, when he saw a wooden clone transform into a hundred-meter-tall tree, Yagyu knew that he could no longer use the wooden clone to assist in practicing the Sage Mode.

Natural energy is only secondary. If you can't learn the Sage Mode, the worst that can happen is that you go to the Wet Bone Forest to learn Sage Arts.

However, the life force contained in the special energy must not be wasted by the wooden clone. This is the shortcut to quickly achieve the perfection of the immortal body.

At this moment, a strange piece of information suddenly appeared in Liu Sheng's mind.

In an instant, Liu Sheng's eyes flashed with joy as he looked at a smiling wooden clone.

“…Success!”

The wooden clone opened his eyes, which were also yellow but no longer vertical pupils, and a red facial mask appeared at the corners of his eyes.

After just a few seconds, the yellow pupils and the red face mask disappeared.

But he did fuse the natural energy with chakra to form - Senjutsu Chakra!

Hundreds of wooden clones tried together, with a probability of triggering a few hundredths at a time, allowing Yagyu to master the technique of fusing natural energy and chakra.

Obviously, Yagyu is lucky this time!
