#397 - Harvest time
And so, while maintaining the number of vines around him and wielding the power of thunder and fire to wear down the Ten-Tails' strength, Liang Yue secretly conserved a portion of his chakra.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for about five minutes when the situation outside unexpectedly took a turn.
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"...
Accompanied by a series of earth and stone explosions, the Ten-Tails beneath him suddenly fell silent at this moment.
Through the observation of his Tenseigan, Liang Yue knew that the powerful reinforcements Orochimaru had invited had arrived~!
Needless to say, the arrivals were the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage of Konoha!
Similarly, perhaps due to the illusory inertia of the world's plot, the Third Hokage, who was originally stationed in Konoha Village, had also arrived at the scene...
At this moment, the Ten-Tails' movements had been restricted by the First Hokage's Myōjin Gate.
Each of its ten tails, two arms, and even its quasi-neck were pinned down by a Japanese-style Shinto gate.
Have to say~
Although Liang Yue didn't care much for Hashirama Senju's sealing technique due to personal preferences, the effect of this ninjutsu was genuinely impressive.
Through the observation of his Tenseigan, Liang Yue discovered that after being fitted with these Myōjin Gate shackles, the vitality of the chakra within the Ten-Tails' body seemed to have been greatly suppressed.
Moreover, with the Myōjin Gate's locations as nodes, it was divided into more than ten parts, and the communication between them was temporarily severed!
"This makes my actions easier."
"I wonder if this sealing technique will retain its power after leaving the ninja world."
"If it isn't weakened too much, I might consider learning it later~"
After observing the changes in the Ten-Tails, Liang Yue would naturally not be polite with it at this time, and immediately urged the parasitic embryo to speed up the absorption of chakra.
The reason why he still hadn't learned ninjutsu like Myōjin Gate, even though the Third Hokage had opened up all of Konoha's secret techniques to Liang Yue, was because of the Divine Tree~!
That is, the Ten-Tails that was currently being absorbed and turned into nourishment by him~
After evolving into its ultimate form, the Ten-Tails would evolve into the Divine Tree!
The Ten-Tails itself is a collection of chakra. The reason why chakra exists in the current ninja world is because the Ōtsutsuki clan planted it on the planet where the ninja world is located.
The purpose is to come and harvest the chakra fruit after the Divine Tree matures.
From this perspective, the current Ten-Tails, and even its ultimate form, the Divine Tree, is actually a special type of natural treasure!
Precious and rare!
It can not only produce chakra fruit but also continuously transform the ecology of the place where it is located, creating a special energy environment of chakra.
And the range it can transform and affect is on a planetary scale!
This ability is truly moving!
However, unfortunately, Liang Yue is not interested in chakra as an energy because he holds the vast system of cultivation in his hands and has already begun to delve into it.
Perhaps in the distant universe, on some unknown planet, there is a cultivation system based on chakra as the basic energy, which is also powerful and mysterious.
But this has little to do with Liang Yue~
After all, with only a dozen years of experience, he believes that he is not yet strong enough to travel freely across the universe.
Even if he had this ability, he still wouldn't have the specific spatial coordinates of the other party~
Moreover, compared to the colorful Naruto plot in front of him, Liang Yue is unwilling to waste his time on a lonely cosmic journey~
Back to the topic...
In short~ The Divine Tree is the basis for the existence of chakra.
And the nourishment it needs in the process of manufacturing chakra may be the original natural energy on this planet, or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After all, although the Divine Tree is very magical, it is probably not at the level where it can generate specific energy out of thin air. Consumption is naturally inevitable.
In the current Naruto world, wood-style chakra seems to have occupied a special position since the birth of the ninja lineage.
In addition to being powerful and having extra restraint abilities against tailed beasts, it also seems to be a unique power attribute of the Ōtsutsuki clan!
The reason for this is probably inseparable from the Divine Tree itself and the deliberate actions of the Ōtsutsuki clan!
However, Liang Yue does not intend to bring the Divine Tree back to his territory.
After all, he doesn't have the idea of continuing to walk down this cultivation path~
Therefore, after leaving the ninja world and without the blessing of the Divine Tree, whether wood-style ninjutsu can retain its original special power will undoubtedly be marked with a big question mark.
"Almost... right?"
After a wanton, unrestrained whale-like absorption, reaching a certain limit, Liang Yue took out the parasitic embryo from the Ten-Tails' body in a timely manner.
At this moment, looking at the cyan and red fruit floating between his palms, some apprehension and uncertainty arose in his heart.
Compared to the bright red chakra fruit swallowed by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and others in the original Naruto plot, the one in front of him is undoubtedly different...
Looking at the appearance alone, this thing looks more like a winter peach~
It is full in shape, cyan in color, and only a small area on the tip of the peach presents a tender pink color.
In addition, the fruit in front of him is not an essence condensed after concentrating chakra.
In fact, after absorbing chakra, Liang Yue added another process during the condensation process.
That is~ Using the natural transformation ability of thunder, fire, and wood to transform chakra into natural energy!
Or rather, it is a substance closest to natural energy that can be safely absorbed by him without worrying about side effects.
However, chakra and natural energy are different after all.
The latter is the original energy that originally existed between heaven and earth, while the former is an artificially synthesized thing, and it also incorporates a part of the synthesizer's mental power!
The concentrated energy fruit in front of you~
The cyan part is the essence condensed by natural energy, and the pink area is the aggregation of those mental powers.
"So, whose mental power is this after all?"
"Ten-Tails, or Kaguya Ōtsutsuki?"
In the layers of tree vines, Liang Yue looked at the tempting palm-sized fruit in his hand and licked his lips subconsciously.
There is no doubt that the reason why he absorbed the Ten-Tails' power to condense such a fruit is ultimately for eating.
You must know that he is now practicing the method of cultivation~
And this technique itself is the original version from the mortal world!
According to the logic of that plane, it is undoubtedly quite difficult for a cultivator to successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment stage without the help of a Foundation Establishment Pill!
The native cultivators of the mortal world are still like this, so it is naturally even more difficult for practitioners like Liang Yue, who have only obtained a basic "Evergreen Art" technique and lack the edification of a comprehensive educational environment!
Therefore, Liang Yue knew from the beginning that if he wanted to advance to Foundation Establishment, he must obtain a spiritual elixir rich in a large amount of energy substances~
Searching the entire Naruto plot, the chakra fruit is undoubtedly the closest thing to a Foundation Establishment Pill!
