A New Enemy Has Appeared-How Can Lao Ban Stop Moving Forward?

Natural Energy,

As the native power system of the Ninja World's planet, it had a much higher learning threshold than Chakra, an imported product. It was also extremely difficult to cultivate, and one careless mistake could result in a backlash from nature itself.

Correspondingly, senjutsu derived from Natural Energy was not only several times more powerful than ordinary ninjutsu, but also possessed one crucial property:

"Daikokuten."
