Chapter 308 Planting the Sacred Tree on Mount Myōboku
Chapter 308 Planting the Sacred Tree on Mount Myōboku (Three Chapters in One)
Hanekawa walked into the Raikage's office.
Compared to the Hokage's office, the Raikage's office is even emptier.
The reason is that the Fourth Raikage used the Raikage's office as half a gym.
There are a lot of fitness equipment such as dumbbells in the corner.
Hanekawa's eyes fell on the Raikage's office chair.
After a little thought, he changed it to the same model as the Hokage's office chair.
Hanekawa sat in the new Raikage's office chair and stretched.
The process of becoming the Fifth Raikage was very smooth.
He just had a fight with the Fourth Raikage.
Of course, the key point is that he and Kaguya Otsutsuki are too strong.
"Kaguya."
Hanekawa slapped his thigh and shouted.
Kaguya Otsutsuki walked up to him and sat on his lap.
Hanekawa put his left arm around her waist and noticed Samui again.
She lowered her head, bit her lips, and looked quite worried.
"Samui."
Hanekawa said, "Come here."
Samui was slightly startled.
She subconsciously glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked forward cautiously and sat on Hanekawa's right leg.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's previous performance really left a deep impression on her.
Even though they had worked together last night, Samui still felt a lingering fear when facing her.
Hanekawa hugged her on both sides, smelling two different scents, and couldn't help feeling satisfied.
But the enjoyment was postponed for now, he had to deal with the psychological problems of his new Raikage secretary.
"Samui."
Hanekawa looked at Samui and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Samui looked at him, with some hesitation in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Will Yumu Ren and the others be okay?"
Hanekawa thought to himself, as expected.
After all, Samui grew up with the two Yumu Ren and Mabui.
"Don't worry, I won't kill them."
Hanekawa said nonchalantly.
In the ninja world, strength is respected.
When strength overrides everything, you can naturally ignore everything.
For Samui's sake, he could spare their lives.
After all, there are not many women with such a great figure who obey him.
"Thank you."
Samui felt relieved after hearing this.
She had been with Hanekawa for a long time and had a general understanding of his personality.
Since he said he would not kill, he would not kill.
At most, let them suffer a little.
Samui thought about the performance of the two wooden men and felt that she deserved to suffer a little.
Only in this way can she become mature enough and face the reality.
"I'm the Hokage, and I don't have time to stay in the Hidden Cloud Village for long."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you and Mabui will be in charge of the management."
"Yes."
Samui answered subconsciously, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then I won't go back to Konoha Village?"
There was a strong sense of reluctance in her tone.
After becoming the Raikage's secretary, it was obvious that he could no longer be an Anbu of Konoha Village.
If this is the case, I won't be able to stay by Hanekawa's side all the time.
"I have the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Hanekawa smiled and said, "I just said I can't stay for long, I didn't say I won't stay. It's no problem to spend two or three hours a day."
The Hidden Cloud Village was of no help to him, but it was of great use to the Konoha Village.
Because Tsunade was there, he did not take action against the Daimyo of the Land of Fire for the time being.
But the name of the Land of Thunder doesn’t matter.
Hanekawa intends to directly control the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
Things are relatively simple after that.
The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village go looking for resources, such as mineral resources.
The ninjas of Konoha Village and the Thousand Sunshine Company where Kakuzu works can use these resources for processing and sales.
Hanekawa thought of Mei Terumi.
Theoretically speaking, if the Hidden Mist Village fully develops and utilizes marine resources, there is still a chance of victory.
But now Mei Terumi is facing Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village, so there is no other result except defeat.
Samui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he was more happy in his heart.
Two or three hours a day is enough for her.
After all, her strength can only last for half an hour.
"Samui."
Hanekawa lowered her right hand, her fingers digging into her black skirt, and said, "I have a task for you."
Samui subconsciously tensed his body and looked at him.
"Although I am already the Raikage, I don't have any trustworthy subordinates."
Hanekawa felt her white buttocks and said, "Help me form an Anbu team, the number of people is tentatively set at seventeen."
"Yes."
Samui felt it was a difficult task, but still agreed.
“You just have to find the people.”
Hanekawa's idea is very simple and crude.
That is to use illusion to tamper with their memory.
After all, trying to find a ninja who could be loyal to him in the Hidden Cloud Village is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
As for the mission of this Anbu team, it is to help him manage the Land of Lightning after he controls the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
"Ah."
Although Samui was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
But she already had some preliminary plans in mind.
The Hidden Cloud Village is not a monolithic entity.
For example, the previous Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
There are always some ninjas who can't stand what the Fourth Raikage does.
Especially after the disastrous defeat in the Third Ninja World War, there are more such ninjas.
Gathering them together would be enough to form an Anbu team.
"That's it for now."
Hanekawa was not in a hurry.
Anyway, the Hidden Cloud Village is already in our hands and it won’t run away.
"Kaguya."
Hanekawa turned to look at the very quiet Kaguya Otsutsuki and asked, "How are the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails?"
"I placed them in the space of the first ball in Tianzhigong."
Kaguya Otsutsuki said in a cold tone, "But this is not a long-term solution. I need to recover the Outer Path Statue and replant the Sacred Tree."
"I can summon an Outer Path Golem."
Hanekawa nodded slightly and asked again, "Where should the sacred tree be planted?"
The heretic demon statue is the shell of the sacred tree.
Planting a sacred tree means planting an alien demon statue.
“It’s best to be somewhere with plenty of energy.”
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki paused and said, "It's like a pure land."
"The Pure Land already has a sacred tree, so there is no need to plant another one."
Hanekawa shook his head and said, "Besides, the two sacred trees will definitely affect the souls in the Pure Land, and that would be more trouble than it would take."
As a human being, he has more bottom line than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
And he also has a soul that cares.
To be more precise, it is the soul that Tsunade cares about.
For example, Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki.
The sacred tree can absorb chakra but not souls, so just let those souls continue to stay in the pure land.
"I have a good place."
Hanekawa chuckled and asked, "Myoboku-san, what do you think?"
"can."
Kaguya Otsutsuki said expressionlessly.
The sacred tree is the means by which the Otsutsuki clan harvests planets.
No matter what kind of energy it is, it can be absorbed and converted into nutrients for the fruit of the sacred tree.
The same is true for natural energy.
After thousands of years of development, there are only three places in the ninja world today that have large amounts of natural energy.
Myobokusan, the Wet Bone Forest, and Ryuchi Cave.
Considering that in ancient times, Toadwan once wanted to cause trouble, it is self-evident where to choose.
"Samui."
Hanekawa withdrew his hand and said, "You stay. Kaguya and I will go out for a while."
"Yes."
Samui blushed and stood up.
She just felt her legs go a little weak.
After all, Hanekawa's fingers were very naughty just now.
"If Mabui comes to me, tell her to wait."
Hanekawa added.
"Yes."
Samui said as she closed her legs slightly and bowed.
She now wanted to wait for Hanekawa to leave before changing into a pair of underwear.
"Be careful."
Samui thought for a moment and said.
Although Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hanekawa are very powerful, the place they are going to is Mount Myoboku, one of the three holy places for summoning beasts.
She had heard before that the Great Toad Sage possessed strength comparable to that of the Six Paths Sage, so she couldn't help but feel worried.
Hanekawa chuckled and patted her head.
After all, Samui's vision is a little lacking.
But you can't blame her.
After all, who would have thought that one of the Anbu beside him was the legendary Goddess of the Rabbit.
……
A temple deep in the Myoboku Mountains.
The big toad immortal suddenly opened his eyes.
Cold sweat broke out on its forehead and it began to breathe heavily.
"Master, are you dreaming?"
Seeing this, Fukasaku asked hurriedly.
The predictions of the Great Toad Immortal are all obtained through dreams.
But its current performance clearly indicates a bad omen.
“I dreamed about that tree.”
The Great Toad Immortal paused for a few seconds and said.
"Are you talking about the sacred tree?"
Fukasaku was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed and he asked.
"Ah."
The Great Toad Sage said with lingering fear, "And this dream shows the scene of the Ninja Clan's sacred tree a thousand years ago."
"Wasn't the sacred tree split apart by Yue Ji?"
Fukasaku asked in confusion, "Now that the nine tailed beasts are in various ninja villages, how can they gather again?"
"Tsukihime has died and gone to the Pure Land."
The Great Toad Sage thought for a moment and said, "The only ninja in the ninja world who has the potential to reunite the nine tailed beasts is Hanekawa."
"Indeed."
Fukasaku agreed and said, "Hekawa's strength in the previous Ninja World War is not inferior to that of Senju Hashirama."
Hashirama Senju was able to pacify the troubled times and establish the five major ninja villages.
Now Hanekawa can also dominate the ninja world and retrieve the nine tailed beasts.
"But why did Hanekawa want to revive the sacred tree?"
Fukasaku changed the subject and said, "He is a ninja from Konoha Village, born and raised in the ninja world. It is impossible for him to revive the sacred tree and destroy the ninja world."
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the temple.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Fukasaku turned around and saw Shima.
They are husband and wife, and are also high-ranking officials of Mount Myōboku, and are revered as immortals.
"Hokage Hanekawa of Konoha Village has arrived. He said he wants to see the master."
Shima replied.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Fukasaku was horrified.
"Dad, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Shima asked doubtfully.
Because of Jiraiya, the relationship between Myoboku Mountain and Konoha Village has always been good.
In its opinion, it was reasonable for Hanekawa to visit.
After all, he is Tsunade's student, and Tsunade and Jiraiya are teammates.
"..."
Fukasaku wanted to speak but stopped.
Hanekawa's visit is usually nothing special.
But it was at this critical moment when it and the big toad immortal had just discussed the sacred tree.
Hanekawa suddenly came to the house, there must be some connection between them.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Fukasaku looked at the Great Toad Sage and asked.
"He has come to our door, and we have to see him even if we don't want to."
The Great Toad Sage paused and asked, "Is little Jiraiya here?" "No."
Shima shook his head and said, "Only two people came, one Hanekawa and one ANBU ninja."
Because of Jiraiya, it had been to Konoha Village several times, so it knew how the Anbu ninjas dressed.
"Then how did they find Myobokusan?"
He was shocked and asked.
Shima couldn't help but be stunned.
It hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that it was reminded, it immediately discovered the problem.
Myoboku Mountain has a special location.
Ordinary ninjas can only rely on luck to get in.
For example, Jiraiya.
In the original work, he traveled to Myoboku Mountain by accident.
Of course, whether it was accidental or intentional is unknown.
"Let them in."
The Great Toad Immortal sighed and said.
Whatever Hanekawa's purpose is, you won't know until you see him.
"Yes."
Shima turned and left.
A moment later, Hanekawa and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki walked into the temple.
Just as the Great Toad Immortal was about to speak, his whole body suddenly stiffened and an unprecedented fear surged into his heart.
Fear is extremely unfamiliar to it.
It has not appeared in the hundreds of years or nearly a thousand years since Tsukihime's death.
But it happened thousands of years ago.
That stems from the fear of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the sacred tree.
Her strength is so strong that she can ignore the ninja world.
Even the three holy places can only be forced to become spirit beasts and be driven at will.
The Great Toad Sage stared at Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Although she was wearing a mask, the horns on her head and the terrifying chakra hidden in her body still made it recognizable.
"Toad pill, long time no see."
Hanekawa took the initiative to speak.
"It's you!"
The big toad immortal stood up in shock.
Hanekawa wore a mask a thousand years ago, and Kaguya Otsutsuki attracted its attention, so it didn't notice him at first.
But now that he spoke, this familiar voice immediately reminded it of it.
Since Hanekawa is here, the person next to him must be Kaguya Otsutsuki.
When the Toad Immortal thought of this, he suddenly felt his hands and feet turn cold.
Even though a thousand years have passed and its strength has changed dramatically, it knows that it is far inferior to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Now how to do?
The big toad immortal stood there, sweating profusely.
"Since you recognized us, why don't you bow?"
Hanekawa asked calmly.
"What's going on?"
Shima couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"..."
Fukasaku shook his head silently.
"Lady Goddess."
The Great Toad Immortal bowed slightly and said.
Shima's eyes suddenly widened.
Although it was not there a thousand years ago, it had heard Fukasaku mention this so-called goddess.
The goddess of the rabbit, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
She ordered the Six Paths Sage to pass down chakra, creating the Ninja Sect and the profession of Ninja.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most powerful ninja in history.
"You know the current situation."
Hanekawa was a little surprised.
He thought there would be a fight.
"You are joking, Lord God's Envoy. How dare Toad Pill do this?"
The Great Toad Immortal said this from the heart.
It did think about resisting, but ultimately chose to give up.
Because in its perception, the chakra in Kaguya Otsutsuki's body is too terrifying.
If it takes action, it will most likely die.
Thousands of years ago, the Great Toad Sage was already very clear about the styles of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Hanekawa.
To put it simply, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Even if it doesn't consider itself, it has to consider the numerous toads on Mount Myōboku.
Therefore, in just a few seconds, the Big Toad Immortal made a choice, which was to give in.
"I wonder what business the goddess and the envoy of God have come to Myoboku Mountain for?"
The big toad immortal asked cautiously.
"I want to borrow a piece of land from you."
Hanekawa said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, the Toad Immortal couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What do you mean?
Come to Myoboku Mountain to borrow land?
Hanekawa is now the Hokage of Konoha Village and is very powerful.
If you really want to borrow land, you can borrow it anywhere in the Ninja World, why go to Myoboku Mountain?
"Myoboku Mountain is so big, are you going to refuse to borrow a piece of land?"
Hanekawa shook his head and reminded, "I have time, but the Goddess's patience is limited."
Kaguya Otsutsuki cooperated very well and opened the Rinnegan.
An invisible wave swept across.
The Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku, and Shima all felt a chill running through their bodies.
It was as if a fatal blow would strike them in the next second, killing them.
"I promise!"
The big toad immortal said quickly.
"Kaguya."
Hanekawa looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki and said, "You choose a piece of land."
"go there."
Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand and pointed, saying.
"let's go."
Hanekawa grabbed her hand, turned around and left the temple.
"Master?"
After they left, Fukasaku breathed a sigh of relief and then dared to speak.
"Let's follow!"
The Great Toad Immortal gritted his teeth and said, "We must know why they want this land!"
Myobokusan is a mountain.
The main peak is the temple where the giant toad immortal lives.
Beyond that are some low peaks and habitable valleys.
After Hanekawa and Kaguya Otsutsuki came down the mountain, they came to a valley.
"Toad Pill, get your people out of this valley."
Hanekawa took a glance and said.
"Yes."
The big toad immortal quickly did as he was told.
As its words spread, there was soon movement in the valley.
A group of toads of different sizes came out.
"Master, what's going on?"
A huge toad with a pipe in its mouth asked in confusion.
Hanekawa glanced at it.
Although he had never seen it before, he still recognized it.
This toad is Gamabunta, who is called the Toad Boss by Uzumaki Naruto in the original work.
"Bunta!"
Fukasaku said in a deep voice, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Gamabunta was stunned.
This was the first time that Fukasaku treated it in this manner.
What happened?
Gamabunta subconsciously looked at Hanekawa and Kaguya Otsutsuki.
"It's ok, Kaguya."
Hanekawa ignored Gamabunta.
He looked at the valley, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen something like planting a sacred tree.
Hanekawa thought about it and opened his Rinnegan.
He stretched out his hand and used the psychic technique directly.
Boom!
Myoboku Mountain shook violently due to the huge heavy object falling to the ground.
The toads subconsciously raised their heads and saw the heretic demon statue, their eyes widened.
The big toad fairy suddenly thought of his previous dream.
Could it be that Kaguya Otsutsuki's goal is to plant the sacred tree?
Do not!
The big toad immortal took two steps forward in excitement.
But the chilling breath made it stop.
If you plant a sacred tree, it can still live.
If it is stopped now, it will not survive more than ten minutes.
"Long time no see, sacred tree."
A trace of fluctuation flashed across Kaguya Otsutsuki's snow-white eyes.
Besides Hanekawa, the thing she cares about most is the sacred tree.
Now that she could finally replant the sacred tree, she rarely experienced any ups and downs in her emotions.
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the Outer Path Statue and raised her hand.
Endless chakra gushed out.
The heretic demon statue shook violently.
Under the nourishment of chakra, its dry bark gradually came alive.
After a moment, the humanoid heretic golem sat cross-legged in the valley.
It hugged its arms, and sprouts appeared on the columns behind it.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's mind moved.
The Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails turned into two balls of chakra and flew out.
The Outer Golem opened its mouth and swallowed them.
The buds on its body grew rapidly, and more and more branches appeared.
Under the cover of chakra, they intertwined with each other and eventually formed a real tree.
Thousands of years later, the sacred tree reappeared in the ninja world.
There was despair in the eyes of the big toad immortal.
The current sacred tree is obviously not in its complete form, and there is still a big gap between it and the sacred tree in its dream.
It will grow.
But growth requires energy.
The big toad immortal finally reacted.
Why did Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Hanekawa plant trees on Mt. Myōboku? Because there is plenty of natural energy.
But all the natural energy has been sucked away by the sacred tree, so what should they do?
Without natural energy, they would not be able to practice magic.
The Toad Immortal thought of the Wet Bone Forest and the Dragon Cave, and suddenly felt like crying, but had no tears left.
Why is it that Myobokusan is always the one with bad luck?
Obviously, sacred trees can also be planted in the Wet Bone Forest and the Dragon Cave.
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows slightly.
This sacred tree looks very different from the sacred tree in the original work.
Is it because of the addition of Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra?
Hanekawa waited for a moment, but no new entries were triggered.
It seems that the entry system did not recognize him as a winner this time.
After all, he did nothing from beginning to end.
"As long as the remaining seven tailed beasts are recovered, the sacred tree can be fully restored."
Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke.
"It won't be long."
Hanekawa nodded and said.
The first person he thought of was Nanao from Takigakure Village.
Takigakure is the only ninja village other than the five major ninja villages that has a tailed beast.
The ninja villages to which the nine tailed beasts belonged were assigned by Hashirama Senju.
As the Hokage, Hanekawa is in a sense qualified to recycle them all.
He thought of the Hero's Water in Takigakure Village again.
Hanekawa had previously given a part of it to Orochimaru for research, but found nothing.
By bringing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki with us this time, we will find out whether the Hero's Water is really related to the sacred tree.
"If the sacred tree wants to bear fruit again, the nine tailed beasts alone are not enough."
Kaguya Otsutsuki continued, "If we feed the energy of the Pure Land to the sacred tree, it should be able to produce a sacred fruit."
"This fruit is for you."
Hanekawa looked at her and said, "But I want the fruit of the sacred tree behind to be given to me."
"can."
Kaguya Otsutsuki agreed without hesitation.
She even felt a little ashamed.
Because in her opinion, the next fruit will have to wait another thousand years before it bears fruit.
But in order to deal with the Otsutsuki clan, she had to eat two fruits of the sacred tree, so she had to let Hanekawa suffer.
In fact, Hanekawa was already plotting against the three Otsutsuki.
