I Unraveled the Mystery of Human Immortality

During the experiment with Natural Energy, Hinata suddenly had an idea.

The essence of Natural Energy is simply 'nature,' so it does not possess the characteristic of 'explosiveness.'

When we are practicing Senjutsu, the Natural Energy is so turbulent that it is difficult for us to control and maintain balance, because we are trying to control it.

Anyone would fight back when controlled by others, right?

But this is precisely why Natural Energy is so difficult to control. Only when Natural Energy and chakra are in balance will it stabilize, meaning that they do not interfere with each other.

In other words, when chakra tries to become the dominant force of Natural Energy, natural energy will rise up in resistance, become irritable, and may even backfire on humanity itself.

But if the proportion of Natural Energy is far greater than that of chakra, and it can even control chakra, wouldn't it revert to its original 'natural' state?

If there is any balance between chakra and Natural Energy, then it is to regard Natural Energy as the elder brother and let Natural Energy dominate everything.

Thinking of this, Hinata said, "Father, when I say 'okay,' you should give up control of your chakra."

Hyuga Hiashi nodded solemnly.

Hinata looked up at Hyuga Hiashi and warned, "Be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hinata suddenly increased the output of Natural Energy, making the proportion of Natural Energy completely greater than that of chakra, and then shouted, "Alright!"

Hyuga Hiashi dared not be negligent and immediately relinquished control of his chakra upon hearing this.

The Training Room fell silent instantly. Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi focused all their attention on the chakra clusters and prepared to defend themselves.

No explosion!

The chakra became completely still, quietly resting in Hyuga Hiashi's hands, as if everything around it was irrelevant.

"Was it successful?"

Hinata asked herself uncertainly.

According to Hinata's recent wild idea, if chakra were to worship Natural Energy as its elder brother, and Natural Energy were no longer under control, would it be able to stabilize?

Just like the Natural Energy that is everywhere in nature, it is quiet and indifferent to everything.

But as the eldest brother, shouldn't he be loyal and take care of his 'younger brother' Chakra?

Seeing that its subordinate Chakra is so weak, will the Natural Energy give back and help it grow?

Hinata asked softly, "Father, do you... do you feel anything?"

Hyuga Hiashi's hair at his temples was already soaked with sweat. Hearing this, he shook his head and said softly, "I don't feel anything. This chakra doesn't feel like mine."

Hinata said softly, "How about we try to control it?"

Even though there were no outsiders in the Training Room, and the Natural Energy shouldn't be able to hear them, Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi still didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of angering the Natural Energy and causing an explosion at any moment.

Hyuga Hiashi ignored Hinata, carefully sensed for a moment, and suddenly said, "It feels like it's about to dissipate."

Hinata nodded slightly.

With her Byakugan and Natural Sensing abilities, Hinata could sense that the Natural Energy wanted to return to nature along with her younger brother's chakra, and wanted to dissipate from Hyuga Hiashi's hands.

Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi controlled the chakra, preventing it from dissipating, and meticulously observed every change within it.

From this experiment, Hinata roughly figured out three ways in which chakra and Natural Energy interact.

The first method is to force Natural Energy to become a subordinate of chakra, at which point the Natural Energy will rise up in resistance. When the Natural Energy is lower than the chakra, the chakra can still suppress the Natural Energy, but once the proportion of Natural Energy is higher than that of chakra, the Natural Energy will immediately backfire on the chakra.

The second approach is the principle of balance, which is somewhat similar to the idea of keeping to oneself.

The third method is to worship Natural Energy as the superior force, making the proportion of natural energy far higher than that of chakra, so that it controls chakra.

The balance between the two, from the state of "keeping to one's own business" to the state of "submitting to the other," is fundamentally different.

Humans are insignificant in the face of nature. If we want to benefit from nature, we should not destroy it, but rather go with it and let nature give back to us.

Hinata had already experienced the consequences of destroying nature in her previous life.

When nature gets angry, the consequences are extremely terrible.

"It seems like things have changed!"

After waiting quietly for more than an hour, Hinata suddenly exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with barely suppressed joy.

Things have really changed.

Chakra is still chakra, and Natural Energy is still Natural Energy; the ratio between the two has not changed compared to before.

However, the 'quality' of chakra underwent a tiny, almost imperceptible change.

Upon hearing Hinata's words, Hyuga Hiashi seemed to have realized something as well, and his face showed a hint of disbelief.

"Hinata! We have solved the mystery of human immortality."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke excitedly, his body trembling slightly, yet he struggled to keep his hands steady.

Such a subtle change would have been completely unnoticed by Hinata if she hadn't suddenly glanced at Hyuga Hiashi.

This chakra is Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga's chakra, but it is completely different from the chakra within Hyuga Hiashi's body.

Hinata almost burst into tears of excitement.

This was the first time Hinata had put so much effort into something, and now she felt the joy of success. This sense of accomplishment made Hinata's brain spin, and in her hazy state, it seemed as if something was rapidly flowing into Hinata's eyes.

However, Hinata had no time to care about these things at the moment.

Natural Energy feeds back into chakra. If this chakra is transformed into spiritual and physical energy, vitality will be enhanced.

When this 'enhancement' accumulates to a certain extent, it will allow life to evolve.

So there is no filtering at all.

Hinata cannot yet comprehend how the God Tree grows. However, Hinata feels she has completely deciphered the secrets of the Three Great Sage Regions.

Jugo's village is near Ryūchi Cave, and Ryūchi Cave itself absorbs Natural Energy from the natural world, which is why the Natural Energy near Ryūchi Cave is 'violent'.

But natural abilities are inherently close to nature; if you don't control them, they won't affect you.

In fact, once you have mastered the Sage Mode, you can enter Sage Mode anytime, anywhere, even outside the Three Great Sage Regions.

Even so, the Three Great Sage Regions still need to gather a massive amount of Natural Energy.

Therefore, the purpose of the Three Great Sage Regions is not to cultivate Senjutsu amidst abundant Natural Energy, but to maintain the balance between Natural Energy and chakra.

This is why the Three Great Sage Regions require such a massive amount of Natural Energy.
