I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 494 Infinite Energy, A Promising Future~

Nara Ranka gradually cleared her thoughts, and a bright light shone in her dark eyes.

It must be said that Master Zhongjue is truly a master.

That phrase, "abandoning chakra," truly opened a door for Nara Rinka's inspiration.

In fact, Nara Rinka had similar ideas before.

However, these efforts are scattered and disjointed, failing to form a coherent system.

But now.

Once the idea of ​​"abandoning chakra" came out, all those fragmented thoughts could be strung together!

What is the number one problem facing Nara Rinkei at this time?

Without chakra, how can a ninja fly, teleport, breathe fire, or spew water?

A more accurate question is: without chakra, how do ninjas obtain extraordinary power?

The answer to this question has been presented to Nara Rangsuke through Master Chung-kaku's demonstration.

no doubt.

Natural energy!

Absolute, pure natural energy!

Compared to chakra, natural energy is hundreds or thousands of times more dangerous.

If chakra is a ninja's innate "companion," then chakra is as docile and obedient as a kitten.

So the natural energy is as violent and dangerous as a ferocious tiger with its fangs bared!

If one rashly comes into contact with natural energy, one is extremely susceptible to being interfered with and assimilated by it.

The most terrifying outcome is turning into a stone statue on the spot and losing all life.

However, high risk can often bring high returns.

Once Nara Rinkachi successfully tames the natural energy, the rewards he can receive will be astonishing.

Let me give you an example.

At this time, Nara Rinka's [Wisdom] attribute is S and his [Precision] attribute is A. The combination of these two attributes allows him to maintain a total amount of chakra that he can mobilize at roughly the "Kage level".

If it's simply about controlling Yin Release chakra, then Nara Rinka's "energy reserves" could be ranked among the Kage level.

Well, let's not mention the multiple [Shadow Seals] that Nara Rinka secretly set up; those were the real energy reserves...

But what if Nara Rinkachi had tamed natural energy and could mobilize and manipulate natural energy from the atmosphere, the earth, and the ocean at any time?

What level of energy can he control?

Movie-level?

Super Shadow level?

Or is it SS-class?

Even SSS-level?!

Nara Rinka doesn't know the total amount of natural energy in the ninja world right now.

In any case, compared to his current chakra reserves, it must be an astronomical figure.

What "dragon veins"? What "tailed beasts"...?

Before the natural energy of the entire ninja world, they are all inferior brothers—no, they are all sons!

He is indeed a son.

After all, the Dragon Vein is a remnant of the God Tree's chakra, while the Tailed Beasts are simply split offspring of the God Tree's chakra.

The Divine Tree Chakra itself is formed by the Divine Tree absorbing and refining natural energy!

Once Nara Ranke truly possesses the ability to manipulate natural energy, his overall strength—at least in terms of the total amount of energy he can mobilize—will absolutely skyrocket like a rocket!

Ninja World: There's a Planet Inside Me?

That's roughly the idea...

Place it before.

The idea of ​​"breaking free from the shackles of chakra and manipulating pure natural energy" was a daydream even for Nara Rinkei.

He currently possesses numerous immortal techniques and pseudo-immortal techniques.

Even techniques like the [Kirin] that mobilize heavenly lightning require a certain amount of chakra to resonate with and manipulate the natural energy in the atmosphere.

But now.

Master Zhongjue gave a great demonstration!

Since Master Chung-kaku can use the [Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill] even without chakra in his body.

That means that Master Zhongjue must have kept special methods for manipulating natural energy in his possession, as well as in this Temple of Fire!

"Master Chung-kaku once said that the Fire Temple does not restrict the dissemination of their unique skills to outsiders."

Nara Rinka took a deep breath.

"That means I can possess abilities and techniques similar to those of Master Zhongjue from before!"

Nara Rinka quickly made a hypothetical guess.

If he succeeds in gaining the ability to manipulate natural energy, what will be the next challenge he faces?

"My current abilities, including Sage Mode and other Sage Techniques, pseudo-Sage Techniques like Kirin, and self-created Bloodline Limits like Kai Release and Flame Release, all require chakra to activate."

"Plain natural energy cannot serve as the driving force for these techniques."

"If I really give up chakra but still want to retain my many ninjutsu abilities, then I have to go down a certain path."

"Let natural energy become the new energy source for those techniques!"

The divine tree absorbed natural energy and produced chakra fruits.

Kaguya Otsutsuki consumed the Chakra Fruit, becoming the Goddess of the Rabbit, and gave birth to Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki (the Sage of Six Paths) founded the Ninjutsu sect, sharing chakra with the world and becoming the progenitor of ninjas.

From then on, chakra became a standard ability for ninjas.

Nara Rangsei's intelligence system is quite good.

He knew very well that the source of chakra was natural energy!

However, these two forces have undergone many layers of transformation.

In a sense, the Divine Tree, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the Sage of Six Paths are all "natural energy converters".

"Natural energy is eternally constant, and the chakra I possess, the [Divine Tree Branch], the [Dragon Vein Mask]..."

Nara Ranka carefully calculated his assets.

"Although the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki are still missing as human elements."

"But I have all the core tools for converting natural energy into chakra!"

"It even possesses an extremely primitive remnant of the divine tree's chakra—the Dragon Vein Chakra!"

"With so many things assisting us, studying the conversion between natural energy and chakra... there will definitely be difficulties, but they shouldn't be as great as we imagine."

Nara Rinka didn't take this issue too seriously.

Firstly, of course, it's because many of the ninjutsu he possesses only have a temporary effect.

In the true high-level battlefield, conventional ninjutsu has no chance of survival.

Secondly, it's also because Nara Rinka still has many magical arts and pseudo-magical arts at his disposal.

If there is truly no way to transform natural energy into new energy sources that correspond to the various techniques one possesses.

Even relying solely on those pseudo-immortal techniques, Nara Rinka's strength level is still guaranteed.

[Kirin], [Desolate Sea Spray], [Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill], [Sky Blade]...

These pseudo-immortal techniques are also very powerful.

"Regarding the two core issues surrounding natural energy, we don't say we've solved them yet, but at least we have some ideas about them."

"Abandoning chakra sounds terrifying, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do because of sealing techniques..."

Nara Langui gradually refined his strategy.

"The ideal state is not like that of Master Chung-kaku, but rather to completely replace chakra with natural energy while abandoning chakra."

"For example, a pure Sage Mode that relies entirely on natural energy and does not synthesize Sage Chakra!"

Whether it's Mount Myoboku or Shikotsu Forest.

The core idea of ​​Sage Mode is to combine the chakra within the body with natural energy to create Sage Chakra.

However, the amount of chakra in the human body is always limited.

This also results in a severe lack of battery life in the "Sage Mode".

But what if it's pure Sage Mode...?

All-day battery life, endless energy...

Nara Rinka let out a breath.

"Whoa!"

Second update.

As expected, it exceeded the time limit...

Two updates today.

I'll see if I can update more tomorrow.

There are still 46 updates to be added.
