Activating Chakra

"Cherry:

Everything is fine, don't worry.

"A few days ago, when I was traveling in the Land of Bears with the Pervy Sage, we met an aunt who claimed to be Star Ninja. She recognized the Pervy Sage and wanted to ask him for a favor..."

"...

"...

"In short, I defeated Akahoshi and changed Hoshigakure, but I don't know if what I did was right. Although Jiraiya- sensei comforted me that it was Hoshigakure's own choice, and that Hoshigakure might have developed better without the Star Meteorite, I'm still a little uneasy..."

"I'm starting to understand what you mean by matching ability with responsibility. Because the greater the ability, the more things can be changed. If this were Konoha, I would definitely be more cautious."

"The Summer Star Ninja Village has thousands of meteorites. I sealed one of them in a scroll and sent it back to you. Their meteorites are radioactive, so be careful when you open it. This one is different from the stones I sent you before. I can feel the power of the meteorite, and it should be what you've always wanted. I hope it's not just a false alarm."

"I had some thoughts in my head, but I forgot them as soon as I started writing them down. I've rambled on and on, and I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore."

"I miss you all so much. I miss the times we went to eat Ichiraku Ramen together. The hardest part of traveling and training is not being able to eat Ichiraku Ramen. Uncle Jiraiya, my training is progressing well. If all goes well, I might be able to return to Konoha by the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

"Oh, and please, don't let Sasuke see the contents of the last page! Please, Sakura!"

Best wishes.

" --Naruto."

Sakura Haruno closed the letter, a faint, barely suppressed smile on her face.

"So it turns out you didn't just grow muscles, huh..."

She carefully folded the letter and put it in her pocket, then composed herself before picking up the scroll beside her.

According to Naruto's letter, this powerful sealing scroll contains a "radioactive" stone.

Radioactivity...

The ninja sister narrowed her emerald-like eyes, not in a hurry to unfold it, but patiently and carefully examined the precious scroll, as if she were looking through the scroll to see the meteorite hidden in the Sealing Jutsu.

Sakura Haruno has been searching for radioactive minerals in this world for a very, very long time, without any useful information. She even once suspected that her Yang God Mode was going to perish in the embryonic stage.

The concept of radioactive elements has been discussed around the world for a long time.

The people in the Hokage world may be backward, but they are not stupid. They don't know what an atomic nucleus or radioactive decay is, but they do know that some ores contain enormous energy and constantly release that invisible energy. That dangerous energy can inexplicably weaken, cause illness, or even kill humans, but it can also activate Chakra, greatly increasing the strength of ninjas—like in the Hoshigakure. This kind of ore is called a "radioactive" ore.

Naturally, this valuable resource was used in the war, and then—it was all used up.

Before the establishment of the Five Great Nations in modern times, the ninja world experienced a Warring States period that lasted for hundreds of years. Chaos and slaughter were the themes of that era. As a result, it was only natural that non-renewable resources with war potential were depleted during that long dark age.

Both the internal Uchiha documents found at Sasuke's house and the secret texts in the Konoha archives mentioned this incident.

Of course, Sakura Haruno hadn't completely lost hope. Firstly, some countries or families might still be storing minerals as war reserves; secondly, human activity in the Hokage world wasn't widespread across the entire planet, and in the wild regions far from civilization, in the dark depths of the earth, there must be vast amounts of untapped resources waiting to be discovered.

However, this made the search for uranium ore a slow and arduous process, requiring either patience or a gamble. Therefore, after discovering that no radioactive material could be found in a short period of time, Sakura Haruno temporarily abandoned her ambition to develop the Yang God Mode and stopped worrying about it.

Unexpectedly, the flowers I planted with care failed to bloom, while the willows I planted unintentionally thrived.

The discovery of radioactive ore came unexpectedly.

Sakura Haruno was genuinely touched. Even though she herself was almost giving up, Naruto still remembered one of her requests.

The girl was filled with mixed emotions.

Remembering Tsunade's reminder to take precautions, Sakura took out a lead box she had ordered long ago, solemnly opened the scroll, and placed the Star Meteorite heart into the box.

The Star Meteorite was quite different from the dark, porous meteorite she had imagined. It was a bright, square crystal, orange-yellow and translucent, and looked quite beautiful.

"It must have been processed twice, it's not the original form anymore... The uranium was purified using some kind of Ninjutsu, right?" Sakura Haruno recalled her knowledge about meteorites, muttering to herself. Most meteorites on Earth are mainly composed of silicates or iron-nickel alloys, and meteorites rich in radioactive elements like uranium are quite rare, so either Sakura was lucky, or the cultural environment of this world is different from her previous life.

She didn't delve into the question, but instead focused her attention on the meteorite. Through the lead plate, the girl seemed to feel a slight warmth on her skin; Sakura Haruno carefully reached her hand inside, close to the meteorite, and her Chakra immediately reacted—

The tranquil Chakra suddenly boiled over, becoming extremely active like boiling water.

"Is this what they Chakra activation?"

Cherry blossom-brows furrowed slightly.

She keenly sensed that this Chakra was too active, even a little restless, and even with her unparalleled Chakra control, she couldn't completely calm it down!

Or, even if you forcibly calm its surface, the Chakra inside is still constantly pulsating, ready to boil over again at any moment.

The girl continued to sense the unusual Chakra, lost in thought.

"I was too excited, I had an urge to let it all out. And..."

Furthermore, activated Chakra is not merely more active; it seems to contain more "energy"—a rather awkward phenomenon. Chakra itself is a form of energy; it should be absorbing and integrating external energy to improve its own "quality."

Just as Senjutsu Chakra is a higher-level Chakra formed by adding Natural Energy to ordinary Chakra that has absorbed fission energy becomes highly active and has more energy, thus forming a new type of higher-level Chakra.

Perhaps it could be called Star Chakra?

In short, using this kind of Chakra would greatly enhance the power of Ninjutsu, just like Senjutsu techniques. Theoretically, the power of Star Chakra should be comparable to, or even surpass, Senjutsu Chakra!

Sakura Haruno thought to herself silently.

She was in a good mood, as if she could see herself developing the Yang God Mode in the future. She couldn't help but smile sweetly.

However, our protagonist quickly regained her composure. "Calm down, calm down, it's still far from over."

--As her strongest trump card, Yang God Mode should completely surpass all Ninjutsu in this world!

She doesn't care about Star Chakra, Senjutsu Chakra, radiation energy, fission energy, or Natural Energy; the infinite energy of fusion is the target of Yang God Mode!

Moreover, Star Chakra is currently just a concept existing in her mind. Passively absorbing radiation energy probably doesn't qualify as such a sophisticated term as Star Chakra; the activated Chakra used by Star Ninja, while more powerful than ordinary Chakra, also has side effects such as difficulty in control and significant harm to the body, so it can only be called an incomplete, degraded, or low-grade version of Star Chakra...

Therefore, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done before the official development of the Yang God Mode...

The road ahead is still long.

[On another note, chapter 415 is full of great authors... I feel like I've learned something new, I'm so ashamed!]
