Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Whether it's the primordial spirit or the spirit body created through spiritual transformation techniques, both can directly absorb natural energy and refine it into Sage Chakra.

However, this is completely different from digesting natural energy.

Just like how the Sage Mode and the physical body digesting natural energy as nutrients are two different things.

The primordial spirit is enveloped by natural energy, a very comfortable feeling, and it can indeed be absorbed little by little, but much slower than cellular absorption.

Moreover, Xuanma clearly felt that because the absorption was too slow and there was too much natural energy, the natural energy was beginning to affect his emotions.

Opening his eyes, Xuanma looked down at his body.

The arm is lignifying, and the cells under the armpit are proliferating, as if a third hand is about to grow.

It's about to go berserk!

Because it is in the primordial spirit state, even if emotions begin to become irritable, the primordial spirit remains calm and rational. However, the loss of control of the acquired mental consciousness is also gradually affecting the primordial spirit.

If this continues, he'll definitely go berserk like Jugo.

Genma immediately refined the excess natural energy into Sage Chakra, and all the effects quickly disappeared, his body returning to normal.

"It seems we still need to control the amount; we can't absorb natural energy recklessly."

Xuanma pondered to himself.

The good news is that natural energy is useful to the primordial spirit.

"Next, it's all about patience, gradually transforming yourself into a completely immortal being!"

Xuanma believes that the first step to becoming a true immortal is to normalize the immortal mode.

That is, even if chakra is extracted from one's own cells, it is still Sage Chakra.

"The future looks promising!"

Xuanma smiled broadly.

Although, like Wood Release, it takes a long time to truly complete the training, the 150 points of the setting value are well worth it.

It's not an exaggeration to call him a humanoid tailed beast now.

Because from now on, he really won't need to replenish his chakra through eating!

With 44 setting points remaining, Xuanma thought for a moment and began editing a setting.

Lightning Transformation Bloodline Limit: By applying the nature transformation of Lightning Release to the physical body and combining it with the nature transformation of Yang Release, the physical body can be transformed into lightning.

Editing complete, the required setting immediately popped up: 99 points.

Xuanma wasn't too surprised by this.

The combination of Indestructible and Rubber Man physiques cost 88 points, making the special physiques similar to a bloodline limit.

Killing two tailed beasts would be enough to change the setting.

Delete this line and edit it again.

Wood Release 2.0: This version combines Wood Release Chakra Mode with Chakra Refining Technique 3.0, allowing the user to possess the abilities of Chakra Refining Technique 3.0 through Wood Release.

Editing complete, the required setting value pops up: 8000 points.

Xuanma looked on, his head filled with questions.

So expensive, what the heck?

So that's why I haven't been able to get it sorted out these past few days?

However, upon reviewing his edited settings, Xuanma quickly discovered the problem.

"I just wanted Wood Release to absorb the enemy's chakra, but what I'm editing now is a fusion with Chakra Extraction Technique 3.0, which means it can even absorb natural energy."

"Does this mean that if I master the Yin-Yang Escape Technique in the future, will I also be able to create a divine tree that can absorb the results of natural energy?"

Upon thinking about it, Xuanma's eyes lit up.

It's just too expensive!

Deleted, deleted.

Genma's revised version: Wood Release 2.0: Based on Wood Release Chakra Mode, it incorporates Chakra Refining Technique 1.0, allowing the user to possess the abilities of Chakra Refining Technique 1.0 through Wood Release.

50 points setting!

Xuanma raised an eyebrow. "Is it that expensive?"

Gritting his teeth, Xuanma deleted the edit: "I'll try for another month. If I still can't solve it, I'll modify the settings again."

Fortunately, the illusion and lightning techniques have been progressing well recently, so there's no need to change the settings; otherwise, the genius character would be ruined.

After closing the [Settings], Genma got up, walked out of the wooden house, stretched, and looked up at the sky.

Onoki and his clone were still locked in a standoff and chatting.

In this standoff, neither Onoki nor Genma could make a move.

At least he could treat the wounded, but Onoki couldn't do anything.

But for the Iwa ninja, this was definitely a win.

"You think you can win this war by holding me back?"

Genma smiled.

Even without him, Konoha's Storm Fang, Konoha still has the Yellow Flash and the White Fang.

Take a break and relax.

Genma conjured wings and soared into the air to face Onoki. After dispelling his clone, he laughed and said, "Is the Dust Release of Lord Tsuchikage a fusion of Fire Release, Wind Release, and Earth Release nature transformations?"

Onoki did not speak.

Genma didn't mind and continued, "How about we make a deal? I'll teach you the Wood Release technique, and you teach me the Dust Release technique."

Onoki scoffed, "If Wood Release can be learned, Konoha won't only have you possess it."

Genma shrugged: "It's the same as Dust Release. The Second Tsuchikage developed Dust Release, but only you have mastered it."

"It's obvious that this is the domain of geniuses and the lucky ones."

"Of course, if you want the cells of our First Hokage, I can give them to you."

"How about it? This is a rare opportunity."

Onoki showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, he scoffed, "If you become Hokage, it will be quite an eventful affair."

If he were Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would definitely kill this evil brat with his own hands.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Tsuchikage. I will do my best."

Genma didn't care about Onoki's attitude; old men are all known for their eccentricities, and he could understand that.

"It's a pity that Lord Tsuchikage didn't cherish such a good opportunity."

Genma looked regretful, then changed the subject, saying, "Lord Tsuchikage is confronting me here to stall me. If I were you, I would never do that."

"Instead, I will do my best to bypass it, and then lead my troops to break through Konoha's defenses and achieve results as quickly as possible."

Onoki became wary: "You little brat with Wood Release techniques, you can do that now too!"

Genma blinked: "Lord Tsuchikage, I am a good person. I oppose war, and of course I would not abandon my comrades."

Onoki's face darkened upon hearing this.

You can't, but I can?

Are you a good person and I'm a bad person?

Xuanma said earnestly, "Since we have started a war, we must do everything in our power to win it. Looking back and forth will only lead to more casualties!"

Unable to fathom the little rascal's thoughts, Onoki snorted coldly, "I will not allow you to appear on the battlefield again."

Neither Onoki nor Genma wanted the other to appear on the battlefield.

The destructive power of both sides was so astonishing that it was a devastating blow to ordinary ninjas.

If Onoki were to expend a large amount of chakra and unleash a massive Dust Release technique, Jiraiya and the others would be unable to stop him and would have no choice but to use Reverse Summoning Technique and Summoning Talisman to escape.

Therefore, the standoff continues.

Genma actually thought that bringing Hiruzen Sarutobi to the battlefield, whether to replace him in confronting Onoki or to personally lead the charge, would quickly turn the tide of the battle.

However, for some reason, Jiraiya and the others did not have this idea.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Aoba Yamashiro brings intelligence: Kusagakure wants to form an alliance with Konoha and hopes that Konoha will help resist the invasion of Amegakure.

Konoha agreed to the alliance, but reinforcements would not arrive until they defeated Iwagakure.

"I heard that the Grass Village is suffering repeated defeats, and the Rain Village seems to want to wipe out the Grass Village in one fell swoop."

Yamashiro Aoba sighed, then asked, "Genma, do you think this is possible?"

Xuanma thought for a moment and said, "The possibility is not small."

"Without Iwagakure's restraint, Hanzo personally took action, and his deadly poison was an unsolvable ability for Kusagakure."

The Grass Village is very good at researching the ninjutsu of other ninja villages, but the biological venom of the Salamander is not something the Grass Village is good at dealing with.

Even with someone like Tsunade in Konoha, they couldn't develop a real antidote.

It wasn't until they obtained cell samples of the salamander that they made any progress; the Grass Village can forget about it.

However, what puzzled Genma was that information about the collusion between Iwagakure and Amegakure was not difficult to obtain, so why didn't Konoha stop them?

Or was it an attempt to stop it that failed?

This is essentially equivalent to abandoning Kusagakure. In that case, why not exchange Kusagakure for maintaining a cooperative relationship with Amegakure, forcing Amegakure to switch back and forth between Konoha and Iwagakure?

Xuanma fell into deep thought.

Yamashiro Aoba said, "So, it's very likely that Kusagakure will be destroyed by Amegakure?"

"Can a ninja village really be wiped out?"
