Konoha's night was exceptionally tranquil, silver moonlight spilling across the earth.
Xiao Yun still sat there like an idiot, not even daring to open his eyes. He knew that every movement unrelated to sensing Chakra would earn him another round of Tsunade's little fists.
He could no longer endure Tsunade's savage beatings. He simply did not have enough blood left to vomit.
Damn it, when other women got pregnant, they treated their husbands with utter devotion, terrified their husbands might abandon them. But this one? The moment she got pregnant, she started beating the living hell out of him, the great contributor.
Other than calling Tsunade an utterly heartless idiot, he truly could not find any words to describe her.
I regret it. If I'd known, I never should have indulged myself for that moment of pleasure.
Chakra, oh Chakra, have mercy on me. Let me feel where you are. Otherwise, starting tomorrow, I would gain a new title—Eunuch Xiao!
"Ah, he really has no talent for cultivation."
Tsunade, who had been watching Xiao Yun from afar, sighed. Her stunning face was filled with deep disappointment.
"Lady Tsunade, if he really can't do it, he can follow Guy and learn the Eight Inner Gates."
Shizune spoke after pondering for a moment.
Tsunade remained silent, staring at Xiao Yun without saying a word. After a long while, she finally sighed and said helplessly, "It seems this is the only way!"
"Lady Tsunade, the wind is strong at night. Let's go back..."
Before Shizune could finish, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled across the sky. A wild gale suddenly swept through the tranquil forest, making even Tsunade sway up and down.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Yun quickly moved his eyes. The instant he opened them, he saw such a magnificent sight.
Hiss.
Truly, the sea accepted all rivers because it had the capacity to contain them. How terrifying!
Although Xiao Yun had already seen the true face of Mount Lu, every look still gave him a different insight into life. His heart could not help but stir as he marveled at the Creator's wonders.
Ding. The host has awakened the Chakra Evolution System! Would you like to activate the system?
A system?
Xiao Yun's eyes welled up with tears. It took him a long time to react. System, you finally came! I thought those bastards from the Transmigrator Association had embezzled my cheat ability.
Activate it!
The Chakra Evolution System is activating: 100%, 99%, 98%... 1%. Chakra Evolution System activation complete! Congratulations, host. You have obtained Basic Chakra Communication.
Basic Chakra Communication?
What the hell was that?
Just as Xiao Yun was utterly confused, he suddenly sensed countless multicolored specks of light appearing in the air.
All of a sudden, a child's crisp voice rang out in Xiao Yun's mind.
"Hello, I am Water Chakra."
A cluster of blue light specks surrounded Xiao Yun, bouncing around like a group of little sprites.
"Master, I am Fire Chakra."
A cluster of fiery red light specks spoke as well.
"Master, I am Wood Chakra."
"Master, I am Earth Chakra."
"Master, I am Lightning Chakra."
"Master, I am Wind Chakra."
"Master, I am Gold Chakra."
Holy shit, was he seeing ghosts?
This was utterly absurd. One absurdity after another, with no end in sight!
Chakra could talk!
After a long while, Xiao Yun finally recovered from his daze and said to the little specks of light, "Chakras, ohayo."
"By the way, what can you do?"
Xiao Yun looked at the light specks before him in confusion.
"Master, absorbing Water Chakra grants water affinity. You will advance by leaps and bounds when cultivating water-style ninjutsu."
"Master, absorbing Fire Chakra grants fire affinity. You will get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating fire-style ninjutsu."
"Then I'll absorb all of you!"
Xiao Yun's lips curled into a strange arc.
Only children had to choose. Adults, of course, picked A, B, C, D, and E all together!
"Host, your awakened Chakra Evolution System is currently at the beginner level. You may only choose one."
The system's voice rang in Xiao Yun's mind.
"Only one? System, you're really trash."
Xiao Yun frowned slightly and could not help muttering.
"Fuck your ancestors, Xiao-sang!"
A cursing voice came through. It was the system speaking.
Holy shit!
The system could curse people?
"Pick one already. Why are you dragging this out?"
The system's impatient voice came through.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth... which should he choose?
Xiao Yun struggled with the decision. Every one of them looked incredibly awesome.
"Hurry the fuck up and choose! I've never seen anyone as wishy-washy as you!"
The system urged him again.
"Why the hell are you rushing me? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? This concerns my future cultivation path. Shouldn't I think it through carefully?"
Xiao Yun replied irritably.
"Everyone, disperse! Wind, lightning, gold, wood, water, fire, earth—this host is taking too long. Let's find someone else!"
The system said.
"I choose to absorb Wood Chakra."
Xiao Yun suddenly remembered something. A glint flashed in his eyes, and the upward curve of his lips became even more exaggerated than before.
"Little Wood, enter his body. Little Lightning, Little Wind, Little Fire, Little Water, Little Gold, Little Earth, we're leaving!"
Wuuu, wuuu, wuuu.
Gold, water, fire, and earth Chakra all let out sobbing cries at once. They seemed deeply saddened.
Only the green light specks bounced around Xiao Yun excitedly, as if cheering with joy.
In an instant, only the green light specks remained among the five colors, slowly sinking into Xiao Yun's body.
Hiss.
Hiss.
Hiss.
Tsunade and Shizune both drew sharp breaths. Oh heavens, were their eyes playing tricks on them? This was Wood Chakra—and it was so pure!
Tsunade in particular had a gleam in her beautiful eyes. Excitement filled her breathtakingly beautiful face. She had only ever seen Wood Chakra of such purity in her grandfather!
Although there was not much of it, what a Wood Chakra user meant to Konoha was self-evident.
"Lady Tsunade, this is too unbelievable! Xiao-sang is actually Wood Release!"
Shizune said excitedly.
To be honest, ever since the First Hokage's death, Konoha had produced genius after genius, yet it had still gradually weakened. If another Wood Release ninja appeared, it would be tremendous news for Konoha.
"Heaven bless Konoha. Heaven bless Konoha!"
Tsunade's eyes gradually moistened. Though Konoha had been known as the foremost of the Five Great Nations in recent years, its strength had steadily declined. The other four villages had been waiting for their chance and had repeatedly encroached on Konoha's interests.
The Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Stone Village in particular had secretly joined forces on multiple occasions, intending to destroy Konoha.
For the village's development, the Third Hokage had always chosen to endure in silence.
He was waiting!
Waiting for Konoha to discover more genius ninjas like Xiao Yun, waiting for those ninjas to become capable enough to stand on their own.
"You little bastard, slowly absorb the Wood Chakra. Once you're done, focus on wood-style ninjutsu from now on. Don't bother me unless it's important."
The system's voice entered Xiao Yun's mind.
"You're the little bastard! Your whole family are little bastards!"
Xiao Yun immediately shot back.
"What terrible luck. I've slept for millions of years, only to wake up and get bound to a little bastard like you. Hurry up and die. Once you're dead, I can unbind myself from you."
The system refused to back down and retaliated.
Xiao Yun:...
