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

The Province of Wind.

"Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Maki shouted sharply.

The three elite Jonin instantly entered battle mode.

The Cloud Village ninja formed hand seals, and his entire body crackled with lightning.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Torture Horizontal Dance!"

The raging lightning transformed into countless sharp blades, crashing down upon the mutated wild boar.

however.

Lightning bolts, powerful enough to pierce rocks, struck the wild boar's bristles.

It only produced a long burst of sparks, without even scratching the opponent's skin.

"Aww—"

The wild boar was completely enraged and charged at the Cloud Village ninja with its eyes red.

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

Maki swung his hands violently.

Several incredibly sharp wind blades sliced ​​through the wild boar's joints.

This finally worked.

The wild boar's charge was interrupted, and its massive body staggered violently.

Take this opportunity.

The Aburame clan ninja pressed his hands to the ground.

"Secret Technique: Cocoon!"

Tens of thousands of parasites surged from the ground, instantly enveloping the wild boar's massive body.

The parasitic insects began to frantically devour the chakra within the wild boar's body.

The wild boar struggled desperately, letting out deafening screams.

It took a full five minutes.

The enormous creature then collapsed with a crash, completely losing its life.

Maki wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at the wild boar's carcass.

"This is just an ordinary wild beast."

"Report this intelligence to the capital immediately!"

The same thing keeps happening in remote areas of the five provinces.

There are venomous centipedes that are as large as giant pythons.

There are carnivorous plants that grow sharp vines.

But under the empire's tight defenses.

As soon as these mutated creatures showed themselves, they were swiftly wiped out by a fully armed ninja squad.

It didn't cause any ripples at all.

Seventh day.

The Province of Earth, an agricultural experimental field personally designated by Onoki.

Onoki floated in mid-air.

Beside him stood Huang Tu, whose face was equally etched with shock.

Below them.

It was an endless wheat field.

But this wheat was completely different from the crops they knew.

Each stalk of wheat was as thick as an adult's arm.

The ears of wheat were as big as buckets.

The wheat hung heavily on the branches, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Father……"

The sound of the loess soil trembled.

"This production volume..."

"It's probably more than several dozen times that of last year."

Onoki landed on the ground.

He reached out and touched the thick wheat stalk.

He could clearly feel that it contained extremely pure natural energy.

The Land of Earth was once one of the poorest of the five great nations.

There were years of famine, and there was never enough food to eat.

To solve the village's food and clothing problems, Onoki even went so far as to shamelessly hire the Akatsuki organization.

And now.

The Land of Earth is gone; only the Province of Earth remains.

This once barren land has miraculously produced this crop.

Not only is it filling, but long-term consumption can even improve the physical condition of ordinary people.

"His Majesty……"

"You are not only the emperor of the ninja world."

"You are the true creator!"

Onoki looked up towards the direction of the capital.

Tears streamed down his weathered old face.

Onoki, who was originally somewhat worried about the changes in natural energy.

At this moment, I only regret that the natural energy is not coming strong enough.

What do a few mutated beasts matter as long as the common people can have enough to eat?

The Iwagakure ninjas of the Land of Earth would risk their lives to chop those monsters into mincemeat and use them as fertilizer!

Day 9.

The underground secret room of the governor's residence in the Province of Water.

The defense level here has been raised to the highest level.

Dozens of top-tier secret agents from the Water Province were guarding all the entrances to the secret chamber.

Inside a sealed room.

Mei Terumi sat cross-legged on a futon made of a special material.

Recently.

The air in the province of water is almost extremely humid.

The rich natural energy even condensed into a visible pale blue mist in mid-air.

As one of the most core high-ranking members of the empire.

The day after the meeting ended, Mei Terumi received a Sage Mode training manual personally compiled by Chiba.

There were no toads, no snakes, and no slugs.

That was the purest natural energy absorption method that Chiba deduced by combining the physical constitution of the Otsutsuki clan.

Terumi Mei closed her eyes.

Her breathing was extremely calm, as if she had become one with her surroundings.

In her perception.

The world around us was no longer a cold stone wall.

Instead, they are countless points of light shimmering with multicolored light.

These specks of light seemed to be alive, dancing merrily around her skin.

"Absorb..."

Mei Terumi silently recited the incantation from the manual.

These raging natural energies are guided, flowing into the body through the pores, thread by thread.

In the past, natural energy was too scarce and extremely difficult to tame.

But now.

The energy concentration was frighteningly high; with just a little guidance, it flowed into her meridians like rivers flowing into the sea.

Natural energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy.

Three completely different forces began to collide wildly in Mei Terumi's dantian.

Intense pain instantly swept through my entire body.

Terumi Mei groaned.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his smooth forehead.

But she clenched her teeth tightly, not letting out a single cry of pain.

Since His Majesty says this path is feasible.

Then she absolutely cannot lose face in front of His Majesty!

She carefully maintained the delicate balance of the three energies according to the technique.

failure.

Again.

Another failure.

Let's try again.

I don't know how many times I've flinched at the brink of failure.

at last.

When the three energies reach a certain perfect critical point.

A brand new chakra, brimming with vitality, exploded within her body!

Sage Chakra!

"Buzz—"

The air in the sealed room jolted violently.

The pale blue mist surged wildly into Mei Terumi's body as if being pulled by a tornado.

Mei Terumi slowly opened her eyes.

Her originally emerald green eyes were now veiled with a faint golden glow.

Several pale blue, teardrop-shaped fairy-like patterns appeared around the corners of her eyes.

It did not diminish her original beauty; on the contrary, it added a touch of sacred and inviolable nobility.

She extended her slender fingers.

It was just a casual wave.

A highly compressed ball of acid appeared out of thin air.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The seemingly indestructible walls of the sealed room were instantly corroded by the acid, creating a large hole.

Even the surrounding space was distorted due to the high temperature.

Immortal Technique: Melting Escape!

Its power is more than ten times stronger than her ordinary Lava Release technique!

Mei Terumi suddenly stood up.

Feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed to be inexhaustible.

A breathtaking smile bloomed on her stunningly beautiful face.

"It's a success..."

Mei Terumi turned her head to look in the direction of the capital.

The adoration in his eyes, along with a certain deeply hidden, unusual emotion, was almost overflowing.

That person.

It not only brought peace to the ninja world.

He even personally laid the steps to the realm of gods under the feet of these mortals.

"His Majesty……"

"I will absolutely not allow the Water Province to suffer even the slightest mishap."

Terumi Mei's red lips parted slightly.

Push open the door to the secret room.

Mei Terumi, imbued with newfound power, strides confidently into the outside world.

Meanwhile, Chiba is in the Imperial Palace in the capital.

I clearly perceived all of this through the natural energy dispersed in the air.

Whether it's a mutated wild boar, a bountiful wheat field, or the chakra fluctuations when Mei Terumi breaks through to the next level.

None of them escaped his perception.

The ninja world is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade at an incredible speed.
