Tomoki's heart jolted after hearing Kabuto's statement.
Chakra involves the source and essence of a Ninja's power, so Tomoki named a series of research projects related to Chakra as [Origin].
It means initial and fundamental.
Now the researchers have named the true Chakra as True Origin, which sounds reasonable, but it's not!
Tomoki continued to press.
"Besides renaming the true Chakra, did those researchers rename Natural Energy?"
If some smarty-pants suggested renaming Natural Energy to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy or Origin Energy, Tomoki felt he would have to give them a good 'welcome'.
Kabuto looked puzzled by Tomoki's question.
What does this have to do with Natural Energy?
Though confused, Kabuto still replied.
"No, Lord Tomoki!"
Tomoki nodded then, and didn't press further, dismissing Kabuto.
He knew it was all a coincidence; if there really were other transmigrators, with his actions, he would already be a senior transmigrator.
Coupled with his consistently friendly persona, a new transmigrator junior would have probably come to seek refuge long ago, so why would they conduct such boring tests?
After Tomoki indulged in some self-unaware musings, he recalled the researchers renaming the true Chakra.
He suddenly remembered Gamamaru's prophecy that Jiraiya had mentioned.
Ninjas will cease to exist; could it be because of this? Even the name of Chakra has changed. If Ninjas use True Origin in the future, changing their name along with it wouldn't be a big deal, right?
As Tomoki made his guess, he also wondered whether he should change the name of Ninjas as well.
After only a moment's thought, Tomoki made his decision.
Change it, change it all, change everything.
Since Chakra changed, Ninjas should change, and Natural Energy should also change along with it.
The transformed Ninjas have completely severed ties with the Six Paths Sage and stood on the opposing side.
It could no longer be hidden, so it was better to display their banner and declare their stance.
By the time Tomoki finished his thoughts, ninety-nine new transferees were already in place, all of them Konoha elites, not a single researcher among them.
This batch included Kakashi, Might Guy, and Shisui.
As for the remaining spot, it was naturally Tomoki himself.
It had been confirmed that there were no problems, so there was no need to hesitate; Tomoki fully trusted Kabuto and Orochi-shisho's abilities.
Tomoki pretended not to know about the time he had fooled a group of researchers into believing he had mastered the true Chakra.
Anyway, no one should come and ask me why I still need to undergo transformation, right?
Under the astonished gazes of the researchers, Tomoki stepped into the only empty spot.
The researchers were stunned, but without sailors, they immediately began to act, opening and setting up the numerous pods.
Then Tomoki lay inside.
Hmm, no feeling.
However, a moment later, as the pod was covered in a pale purple light, Tomoki felt mysterious energies injecting into his body from various patches.
This wasn't Tomoki's first time experiencing this feeling; when Orochimaru first manually created the Chakra manufacturing device, he absorbed true Chakra, now called True Origin.
That time, Tomoki had already felt the wonder of True Origin.
But that experience was far from comparable to today.
If True Origin were likened to fine wine, Tomoki had at most only licked it back then, but now he was directly soaking in a wine vat.
The injection of True Origin was not like Chakra, which, after entering the meridians, simply flowed within them.
The formation of Chakra by combining physical energy and spiritual energy was a complete lie.
Chakra could only be formed by converting Natural Energy, and the conversion process indeed required physical energy and spiritual energy.
Using the Castrated version Chakra as a medium, collecting the physical and spiritual energy of all Ninjas, transferring it to the Nine Tailed Beasts, and using this to convert Natural Energy to obtain Chakra.
Then, Chakra was marked and degraded, with a portion returned to the Tailed Beasts. The Tailed Beasts, unknowingly, further retained it, further castrating it before returning it for Ninjas to use.
Ninjas easily obtained power, while the Six Paths Sage harvested the freshest fruits, achieving a win-win situation.
Compared to Kaguya's method of draining the pond to catch the fish, the Six Paths Sage's capitalist approach was clearly gentler, more sophisticated, and its harm more concealed.
However, with the injection of true Chakra, or True Origin, its first stop was the thoroughly exploited body cells.
It flowed uncontrollably from the meridians into all parts of Tomoki's body, strengthening all of Tomoki's cells.
Seemingly remembering something, Tomoki no longer kept his internal template silent and directly loaded the Fire Giant Surtur template.
True Origin immediately changed its approach, starting to drive out Chakra in the meridians.
If True Origin had thoughts, the general situation would be as follows:
When the template was not loaded, True Origin (true Chakra): This meridian seems to be occupied, I'll just slip away, there's plenty of space outside!
After loading the template, True Origin: It's so scary outside, brothers, let's drive out this guy from who knows where and occupy this place first!
After a brief experiment, as Chakra could not strengthen the template, Tomoki no longer dwelled on it, letting his internal template go silent again.
True Origin once again used the meridians as a transfer station, continuously flowing into all of Tomoki's cells.
Tomoki also carefully felt himself rapidly getting stronger; this feeling was exceptionally wonderful.
It wasn't the sudden, soaring feeling of strength that came when his Sharingan evolved.
That burst of power felt like when Tomoki first activated his one-tomoe Sharingan, truly giving him the illusion that he could instantly destroy everything.
The current enhancement was comprehensive; as his body strengthened, his spirit or mind also strengthened synchronously, allowing him to clearly grasp how much stronger he had become and how much power he possessed.
In this wonderful sensation, Tomoki's body finished strengthening.
