"The Land of Ancestors and the Land of That are nearby." Chimiko said carefully while holding candy in her mouth, "But the Land of Ancestors is very weak, just a few villages. The Land of That is one of the most powerful countries, with a very large population and wealthy cities."
Her face showed envy...
"If only Ran Village could join the Land of That."
She didn't notice Uzumaki Jun's stunned expression beside her...
Right now, he had something he didn't know if he should say. Wasn't he supposed to have traveled back to the era of the ancient Loulan Kingdom?
Why did he travel so far back?
The Land of Ancestors still exists...
"Then, have you heard the name Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime?" Uzumaki Jun had a bad feeling. He knew the Dragon Vein was a special type of chakra, but...
It was still chakra!
If there was no chakra...
How could he go back?
"Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime?" Chimiko looked at Uzumaki Jun, puzzled, and said, "I haven't heard of her. She probably isn't from Ran Village."
Also...
Why does that name sound a bit strange?
"This..." Uzumaki Jun pondered for a moment, frowning, and said, "Then have you heard of people from beyond the sky coming here? People who are quite pale, with white hair too?"
Could it be that not even...
"The tree? Or is there a very tall tree here, one that reaches the heavens!"
If there was a God Tree, he could also think of a way...
To travel back!
"Hmm~!" Chimiko wrinkled her cute little brow, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems not. How could there be people from the sky? Are they gods?"
"And a tree that reaches the heavens..."
She looked at Uzumaki Jun with a strange expression...
"How could a tree grow that tall!"
"..."
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly...
So it was like this?
He...
Went too far back?!
The people from beyond the sky hadn't come yet, Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime hadn't yet been mistreated by that village chief of the Land of Ancestors' small rural village, the scumbag known in the ninja world, the Land of Ancestors' Son...
And he...
Still couldn't go back...
"What's wrong with you?" Chimiko looked at Uzumaki Jun, who suddenly seemed dejected, and said, "You look like you've lost all interest?"
"I, I... I..." Uzumaki Jun said sorrowfully at a 45-degree angle, "I can't buy a ticket home!"
He sighed helplessly inside...
"System, is there a way?"
If there's no way, ask the system. This is one of the transmigrator's rules...
"Yes." The system's electronic voice sounded, "All paths lead to the same goal. Natural energy can also give birth to the ability to traverse time and space."
"Moreover, you possess vast chakra and natural energy within your body. When the two combine, through space-time ninjutsu, plus this system locating the original time-space, it is possible for you to go back."
"So..." Uzumaki Jun stroked his chin, deep in thought, and said, "You want me to break the seal first?"
But...
How to break it without energy in his body?
Learn from Orochimaru and use science and technology?
Forget that the basic infrastructure here doesn't allow it, even if it did, he...
Wasn't a professional!
After all, Orochimaru's technology was centuries ahead of the ninja world...
"Are you okay?" Chimiko looked at Uzumaki Jun with concern and said, "If something is wrong, I can take you back to the village first, and then come gather herbs myself."
Why did he suddenly look like he had no goals in life?
"Forget it, it's fine." Uzumaki Jun sighed and said, "Anyway, there's no way to leave right now."
If it was just that a simple village girl didn't know the true situation of the ninja world, and Kaguya-hime had actually already arrived, then he wasn't in a hurry for a day or two. If Kaguya-hime hadn't arrived yet...
Then no matter how anxious he was, it was useless!
"Really?" Chimiko looked at Uzumaki Jun, who had recovered but still seemed dejected, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's go this way!"
She pointed in a direction...
"There are many herbs to gather there every year."
"Let's go." Uzumaki Jun shook his head, indifferent, and said, "Since I haven't found a way, it's the same no matter where I go."
He shrugged and followed behind Chimiko...
There was no use thinking about this now!
Uzumaki Jun looked at the surrounding scenery...
He suddenly came upon a small grove of trees, lined along the path for several hundred steps. There were no other trees mixed in, the fragrant grass was fresh and beautiful, and fallen blossoms were scattered everywhere...
"Such dense natural energy!" Uzumaki Jun suddenly felt the natural energy filling his entire body, paused, and said, "Is this a sacred land?"
The concentration of natural energy here was comparable to Mount Myoboku!
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath...
"Eh?" Uzumaki Jun suddenly opened his eyes, stroked his chin, and said, "How can I absorb natural energy?"
Shouldn't he be sealed?
"Chakra is sealed." The system's voice sounded again, "But natural energy is not sealed."
"So that's how it is!" Hearing the system's words, Uzumaki Jun immediately became excited and said, "Can I use natural energy to break the chakra seal?"
But...
Who exactly sealed his chakra?
Someone with the power to seal him probably wouldn't fail to see that he knew Sage Mode.
But why only seal his chakra?
Forget it, he could think about it after going back.
When he found the enemy, he'd just beat them up hard. How dare they mess with him!
"Jun, what's wrong?" Chimiko looked at Uzumaki Jun, puzzled, and said, "Why did you suddenly close your eyes?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Uzumaki Jun opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "I want to stay here for a while. Don't mind me."
Sage Mode is a special mode activated when natural energy and chakra form natural chakra in a one-to-one ratio.
If it's just pure natural chakra...
Wouldn't it be more dangerous?
Moreover...
The Sage Modes of the three great sacred lands all have local characteristics. It could be said they are not Sage Modes specifically for humans. After all, if one cannot perfectly control it, some characteristics will appear, and if one loses control...
They will directly turn into the animal corresponding to that Sage Mode.
So...
How should a human use pure natural energy?
"System, do you have it?" Uzumaki Jun asked, "Exchange it for me..."
"No."
"..."
What a trash system!
Uzumaki Jun sighed helplessly inside...
It seemed this time, he really had to rely on himself!
Uzumaki Jun tried to mobilize a little natural energy, and then...
"Sure enough..." He looked at the index finger of his right hand, "It turned to stone."
All his ninjutsu were instilled by the system, even Sage Mode was the same. Although he could use them all...
He wasn't very clear on the basic principles. Starting with such a high difficulty mode right away...
Was a bit difficult!
He quickly dispersed the natural energy inside his body...
Fortunately, he hadn't absorbed much just now, otherwise, he would be in danger now.
Uzumaki Jun stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and muttered, "It seems I need to think of a way."
Did he have to...
Relearn the basics?
Uzumaki Jun scratched his head in frustration...
"In order to go back, it seems I need to become a top student starting today!"
Otherwise...
He wouldn't even know when Kaguya-hime would come to plant the tree...
And at this moment...
"Jun, I've finished gathering. We can go back now."
