Time flies, and another summer has arrived. Three years have passed since Madara guided Uchiha Nen's training.
Land of Iron, inside the Laboratory within Three Wolf Mountain.
Orochimaru and Hiruko were both squeezed in front of the observation dish, their eyes fixed on the Gene Liquid in the instrument. The air was silent and solemn. Due to excessive tension, beads of sweat even appeared on their noses.
"Let's begin."
Behind them, Shin'yu and Light were also watching the experimental phenomenon.
Hiruko nodded and immediately began to operate the experimental instrument, inputting a set of data, and then pressed the button.
With a buzzing sound, the instrument began to prepare and output. He precisely and slowly turned the valve, dripping a drop of light purple Kimaera solution into the Gene Liquid in the petri dish.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the droplet quickly dissolved in the Gene Liquid, and the color did not change at all, remaining orange-red and translucent.
"Next..."
Orochimaru took a deep breath, operated the machine, and slowly injected a drop of golden solution into the observation dish, which was Hashirama Senju's Gene Liquid.
At this moment, everyone, including Shin'yu, held their breath and concentrated on observing the changes in the dish. For a time, the huge Laboratory was filled with the sound of wildly beating hearts.
"Glug, glug."
At first, the droplets were like oil droplets in water, slowly floating on the upper layer of the liquid surface, showing no signs of fusion.
But only 3 seconds later, strands of gold, like the roots of some kind of plant, were deeply rooted in the soil, spreading downward, slowly growing, and gradually merging with the Gene Liquid, eventually becoming calm, disappearing together with the golden droplets.
The process was unexpectedly smooth, with almost no abnormalities. To the astonishment of several people, the liquid in the petri dish turned into a beautiful red-gold color, as clear as a mirror.
"Success?" Shin'yu couldn't help but exclaim.
But Orochimaru immediately raised his hand and pressed down, the tense corners of his mouth revealing a rigorous attitude, "Master, we still need to wait a little longer..."
Shin'yu nodded and immediately fell silent. In order to avoid abnormalities in the experiment, or some delayed reactions, it was indeed necessary to let it sit for a while.
He never doubted Orochimaru's professionalism, and even Hiruko remained silent, staring intently at the observation dish.
Uchiha Hikari gently tugged on Shin'yu's sleeve, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of nervousness.
Shin'yu smiled slightly, reached out and patted her fair, soft hand, giving her a reassuring look.
The red-gold solution glowed slightly, like a pool of lava. Even through the experimental equipment, the few of them could feel a strong aura of life emanating from it.
Suddenly, Shin'yu's clothes moved without wind, and his dark hair danced like elves.
This scene startled a few people, but Shin'yu waved his hand. The aura in the Gene Liquid resonated with a certain power in his body, and a majestic vitality flowed through his limbs like a spring, his Wooden Style Chakra was ready to move.
He closed his eyes and slowly smoothed out the surging power, his gradually opening eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
"Hashirama's power, is it related to the God Tree?"
As a reincarnated person, he knew the origin of Chakra in the Shinobi World.
In ancient times, Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki descended to Earth as partners. Their only purpose was to devour the unique life and energy of this planet, turning it into a high-density energy pill, which they could devour to strengthen themselves.
This is the reason why the Otsutsuki Clan can master power far beyond ordinary people without cultivation.
After completing their goal, they would leave and go to the next planet to continue devouring.
And their means of devouring the energy of an entire planet is... planting the God Tree.
The so-called God Tree is unique to the Otsutsuki Clan. Before it is planted, it is called... the Ten-Tails.
When the Ten-Tails is planted on the earth, it will turn into the God Tree, gnawing at the planet. The roots of the God Tree will deeply penetrate the surface and spread and grow inside the planet, absorbing energy. It will become incredibly huge until it devours all the planet's energy and exterminates all life.
After the God Tree absorbs everything, as a result, a "Chakra Fruit" will grow under the canopy. This fruit contains the unique energy and genetic information of the entire planet. Eating the fruit allows the Otsutsuki Clan to evolve.
This group of Otsutsuki are able to continuously evolve and become stronger through this method.
The reason why two people are needed is that the newborn plant is too weak to compete with the natural energy of the planet. In order for the plant to quickly pass through its maturity, an Otsutsuki needs to sacrifice themselves, providing all their power for the God Tree to devour.
To put it bluntly, it is to use oneself as a sacrifice, being thrown away to "feed the tree."
Due to the undying characteristic of the Otsutsuki, they will find a vessel to engrave the "Karma" in advance, so that the Otsutsuki who is sacrificed can be successfully reincarnated, thereby continuing their life.
For thousands of years, the Otsutsuki Clan has continuously devoured the lives of many planets in the universe, constantly evolving, until they become unparalleled and unique existences, until they become "Gods." This is the "Will of the Otsutsuki Clan."
Of course, this was the plan of Kaguya and Isshiki Otsutsuki. If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would soon happen to them.
After the God Tree sapling was planted, Kaguya, unwilling to be eaten by the Ten-Tails as a living sacrifice, launched a sneak attack on Isshiki. The two immediately broke out into battle. How could a hasty response compare to a long-planned attack? Soon, Kaguya was victorious.
She sacrificed the heavily injured Isshiki to the Ten-Tails. The God Tree descended and grew rapidly, reaching towering proportions in less than a few decades.
In fact, Chakra Fruits also have good and bad qualities. Young and healthy Otsutsuki are more suitable to become food for the Ten-Tails.
This God Tree is different from the past. It not only absorbed the power of the Otsutsuki Clan's main family but also integrated the natural energy of the entire planet, incorporating all the characteristics of the great five elements of earth, wind, water, fire, and lightning.
The energy created this time is "Chakra."
From then on, everything born from heaven and earth can be transformed and created through "Chakra." Therefore, the fruit that is condensed has already surpassed the achievements of all Otsutsuki.
But Kaguya did not have the idea of devouring the fruit because... she was a love-struck fool.
That's right, she fell in love with a human.
This is a very clichéd and bloody story. She fell in love with the young master of a tribal leader. The two spent time together day and night, and love grew over time, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
But the peaceful life was soon broken by war. Kaguya's husband died in the war, and the whole world was in turmoil.
Heartbroken, she abandoned human emotions and strikes, remembered her mission as an Otsutsuki, so she rose from the ground, flew to the top of the God Tree, and resolutely devoured the God Tree Fruit, merging all the power of Yin-Yang and the five elements, and was promoted to "Bloodline Kekkai Mora"...
From then on, she gained power far beyond that of the gods.
With this power, she easily pacified the troubled times and was revered as the "Rabbit Goddess."
Under the blessings and prayers of the people, she gave birth to two children. The eldest son was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the "Sage of Six Paths," the ancestor of the Shinobi World.
As Shin'yu, who simultaneously possessed the original power of the Otsutsuki Clan as well as the Wooden Style and Sharingan power, he clearly felt the difference between these two powers at this moment.
The "Karma" mark forms its own lineage, containing all of Urashiki's data.
And neither the Wooden Style Power nor his own Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan has anything to do with this power.
Shin'yu couldn't help but ponder whether this was the... inheritance after the God Tree merged with the planet's power?
