Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Province of Fire.

The Imperial Palace, Council Hall.

The entire council hall fell into a deathly silence.

For a long time.

Chiba closed her eyes.

The oppressive force that seemed to crush the soul finally receded like a tide.

When Chiba opened his eyes again.

Those astonishing six-tomoe Rinnegan have vanished without a trace.

In its place were those original, dark, deep eyes.

But no one dared to breathe too loudly.

Only the cracks on the conference table silently testified that what had just happened was no illusion.

"This is the Sage of Six Paths' final gift."

Chiba's voice was calm.

There was not a trace of boasting in his tone.

But to everyone else, it sounded like a thunderclap from the heavens.

The truth of the ninja world's history was laid bare before everyone.

original……

The so-called bloodline limit they have been fighting over all this time is all a genetic legacy left by the Otsutsuki clan.

Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki.

These are the four most famous and powerful clans in the ninja world.

Going back thousands of years, it turns out that all our ancestors were from the same family.

Fugaku Uchiha turned his head stiffly, only to meet Tsunade's equally stiff gaze.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange and extremely awkward.

They've been fighting to the death for hundreds of years.

In the end.

This was actually just a relatively large-scale family dispute?

Fugaku Uchiha's Adam's apple bobbed.

He suddenly felt that the Uchiha clan's past arrogance was nothing short of a huge joke.

Tsunade slapped him on the forehead.

She was internally ranting and raving.

I knew from the beginning that we were all distant relatives.

Why were my grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha fighting back then?

Why not just sit down and arrange seating according to seniority?

Nagato Uzumaki sat in a chair.

His thin face was filled with confusion.

As for Hyuga Hiashi?

The head of the Hyuga clan was trembling slightly with his hands.

Otsutsuki Hamura!

Those were the true ancestors of their Hyuga clan.

No wonder His Majesty was so certain that the White Eye could continue to evolve.

It turns out that the source of the Hyuga clan's bloodline hides such terrifying power.

Chiba took in the various expressions on everyone's faces.

He ignored the complex emotions swirling in their minds.

"Relatives are relatives."

"Past grievances were completely put to rest the moment the empire was established."

"I called you here today not to have you acknowledge your ancestors."

Chiba tapped his long, slender fingers lightly twice on the table.

He paused slightly, and his eyes sharpened.

"Just a few days ago."

"The remnant souls of the Six Paths Sage, the Grim Reaper, the Evil God, and others who reside in the Pure Land."

"They have all perished."

These words were spoken.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The massive amount of information that I had just barely managed to digest was instantly shattered by this bombshell.

Jiraiya suddenly stood up from his chair.

He stammered as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, you mean... those beings from mythology..."

"That's right."

Chiba interrupted Jiraiya's question.

"They are dead, completely and utterly gone."

"And the most direct consequence of their deaths."

"It's the natural energy that the ninja world has been stealing and exploiting for thousands of years."

"It will be flooding back into our world in the next two weeks!"

Chiba's gaze swept across the four provincial governors on the screen.

"A surge in natural energy is definitely not a gentle drizzle."

"This power is extremely violent."

"Plants and animals may mutate due to excessive absorption."

"Even some topographical features can undergo unpredictable geological changes."

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The awkward atmosphere that had just been caused by the family reunion was instantly replaced by a strong sense of crisis.

Ohnoki's aged face was filled with solemnity.

"His Majesty."

"If a large-scale mutation really occurs..."

"What we are about to face may be an upheaval no less than that of the Fourth Shinobi World War."

Chiba nodded.

"Therefore, I have ordered the five major provinces to immediately enter the highest level of combat readiness."

Lei Ying Ai slammed his fist on the table.

The screen then shook violently.

"Anyone who dares to disrupt the current golden age of the empire, I'll be the first to twist their head off!"

Ai's roar was deafening.

Since the Land of Lightning was incorporated into the Empire, it has become the Province of Lightning.

There was no more infighting at the top, and no more harsh cuts to military spending.

Commoners can eat their fill and stay warm, while ninjas can earn ninjutsu by honestly exchanging merit points.

Ai dreams of living like this for a few more years.

Mei Terumi also had a cold expression.

"The Water Province shall immediately commence 24/7 patrols."

"Any sign of trouble will be nipped in the bud."

Luo Sha was not to be outdone and made repeated statements.

The Province of Wind has finally become an oasis.

He would absolutely not allow any monster to trample on the saplings he had painstakingly planted.

Chiba looked at the group of spirited old-timers and leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

"Preventing unforeseen events is only one aspect."

Chiba offered the last perk of the day.

"The return of natural energy is both a crisis and a great opportunity for the ninja world."

"I will be there within the next few days."

"We've compiled a Sage Mode training manual specifically for us ninjas."

"There is no need to go to the three holy sites to sign the contract."

"There's no need to risk turning into a toad or growing snake scales."

"As long as your strength reaches the Kage level."

"You can use merit points to redeem it directly in the internal system."

boom!

The impact of this statement even surpassed that of the information about the Sage of Six Paths.

Sage Mode!

That is the ultimate power that every ninja dreams of!

In the past, this power was only in the hands of a very small number of people.

The three sacred lands are high above, and ordinary ninjas can't even get close to them.

And now.

Chiba is actually going to make this power completely public!

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes instantly erupted with an extremely terrifying, fanatical light.

I've worked under Chiba for so long.

He had already obtained some of Chiba's theories about Sage Mode.

But no matter what experiments he conducted, he was unable to successfully sense it.

He once suspected that there was something wrong with his talent.

Now it seems...

It's not his problem at all!

The natural energy in the ninja world is too scarce!

"His Majesty."

"You are the true god of the ninja world!"

Orochimaru's voice became hoarse with extreme excitement.

This is not insincere flattery.

This is Orochimaru's heartfelt and fanatical worship.

After the meeting.

The entire massive imperial machine, like a giant beast wound up, began to roar and operate.

The governors of all the provinces were mobilizing manpower without stopping.

Groups of ninja squads, like scattered fishing nets, spread across the vast territory of the empire.

Time passed day by day.

The effects of the natural energy backflow are beginning to appear around the world.

Day .

The Province of Wind, on the western edge.

This place was once a barren, dead desert.

Now it is covered with waist-high shrubs, and occasionally you can see a few sturdy poplar trees.

A patrol team of three elite Jonin was resting nearby.

The captain is Maki, who comes from Sunagakure.

The other two team members are a member of the Aburame clan from Konoha and a Lightning Release ninja from Kumogakure.

Such cross-village team formation is already commonplace in today's empire.

"The air has felt a bit sticky these past few days."

"Captain, will the anomaly His Majesty spoke of really occur?"

The Cloud Village ninja wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Maki was about to strike up a conversation.

"underground!"

"A colossal creature is approaching!"

The Aburame clan ninja suddenly turned pale.

His parasites are frantically sending out warning signals.

next second.

The bushes in the distance were violently pushed to both sides as if they had been hit by a Category 10 typhoon.

The earthquake trembled.

A dark red wild boar, about ten meters tall, roared and charged out of the horizon.

That cannot be called a wild boar at all.

Its body is covered with barbs as hard as steel.

The two fangs were like huge scimitars, gleaming with a chilling light.

Each time a hoof lands.

They can all create a crater half a meter deep in the ground.

This beast was originally just an ordinary desert wild boar.

However, under the catalysis of abundant natural energy, a crazy leap in genes was completed in just a few days.

The ferocious aura emanating from it was in no way inferior to that of a veteran Jonin!
