Chakra that belonged to Shazo alone

The Fifth Hokage's residence in the Naruto World.

Naruto Shazo woke up from his dream and found that his arms were warm, even a little hot.

He didn't know when, but a fragrant Tsunade crawled in and wrapped herself around him like an octopus. No wonder he had such a creepy dream.

Wait, maybe it's not a dream----

Shazo suddenly woke up and circulated his Chakra to carefully examine his body.

Sure enough, Tsunade drugged him again. The drug relaxed his mind while raising his blood pressure, causing him to enter the deepest Dream Dimension.

Furthermore, Shazo's guard distance towards Tsunade was negative, which allowed Tsunade to break into his room and bed.

This woman, 30 years older than him, didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite of the hot food while the medicine was still working.

Perhaps it was too delicious, because Tsunade ate too much and was unable to leave. She was sealed in the warm blankets and ended up in Shazo's hands.

With gritted teeth, Shazo pressed Tsunade down into the soft blankets and began his "brutal" revenge.

Tsunade's screams gradually grew louder from being barely audible.

Then she began to plead intermittently, "Please, let me go."

"I won't do it again, I'll never do it again."

"Stop! No!"

-"

Gradually, Tsunade could no longer speak and began to sob and cry.

Her voice was soft and gentle, like that of a hungry kitten.

After a long while, Tsunade's voice suddenly rose in pitch, then abruptly stopped.

The thorough and complete revenge made Shazo feel exceptionally happy. Without any hesitation, he broke free from Tsunade's arms and legs, put on his gear, and left the bedroom to train.

As the strongest Ninja in the Ninja World, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, had his own exclusive training ground, which was located in the Valley of the End, hundreds of kilometers away.

Only a sufficiently spacious and secluded training ground can prevent horrific collateral damage.

Although it hasn't been long since Shazo completed the Kekkei Genkai Ring and the Ring of Kekkei Tōta, his body has already begun a true transformation.

His skin became whiter and smoother, his bones became denser yet lighter, and his muscle density increased significantly.

Most importantly, Shazo's Chakra meridians became wider and smoother, and the efficiency of refining and circulating Chakra increased exponentially.

Driven by the ten Kekkei Genkai, Shazo's internal organs became the vanguard of his physical transformation, and the complexity of their functional evolution exceeded Shazo's knowledge.

The five types of Kekkei Tōta also play a role, but they affect the most delicate organ, the brain, and the most basic intracellular genetic information.

This is a tremendous impact, but because it hasn't been long enough, Shazo cannot yet determine the specific effects.

The only thing he was certain of was that the activity of his Pineal Gland between his eyebrows was rapidly increasing; it was growing larger, becoming more rounded, and moving forward.

Based on these trends, the Pineal Gland will most likely become the 3×3 Eyes between the eyebrows.

Based on the trends of increased Chakra, the 3×3 Eyes, and fairer skin, Shazo could naturally guess that he was undergoing a full-scale transformation into the Otsutsuki.

But an even more significant change has occurred than any physical change: the Chakra that Shazo refines is now different.

Perhaps due to the evolution of his own senses, after completing the Kekkei Genkai Ring, Shazo began to perceive that Chakra had a unified aura, including the Chakra he had refined himself.

Because everyone is the same, he naturally overlooked this feature.

It wasn't until the Ring of Kekkei Tōta was completed and the Kekkei Tōta began to affect the genetic material within the cells, that Shazo's self-refined Chakra began to have a different aura and became unique, that he suddenly realized this was actually a problem.

Moreover, it is the biggest problem in the Ninja World.

The Chakra of the entire Ninja World actually belongs to someone; it all belongs to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He is the son of Kaguya Otsutsuki. After Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki overthrew their mother, they spread their Chakra throughout the Ninja World, where it came into the hands of humans.

Strictly speaking, humans who take Kaguya Otsutsuki's Chakra without her consent and use it with great relish are Chakra thieves.

No wonder Kaguya Otsutsuki was so angry after waking up, determined to reclaim all her Chakra.

What she said actually makes sense.

But Shazo didn't take it seriously at all. Kaguya Otsutsuki's words did make sense, but that was all there was to it.

Where does Kaguya's Chakra come from?

A small portion of it was something she possessed naturally, but the vast majority came from eating the Chakra Fruit nurtured by the God Tree.

How did the God Tree nurture the Chakra Fruit?

It was plunder. The God Tree plundered the vitality, Natural Energy, and life of the Ninja World, which is how it was able to give birth to a Chakra Fruit that allowed Kaguya Otsutsuki to Awakening her Kekkei Mōra and achieve immortality.

Therefore, it was Kaguya Otsutsuki who plundered the resources of the Ninja World through the God Tree, which is why she possessed so much Chakra.

The humans in the Ninja World weren't stealing; they were just taking back a little bit of Chakra. What psychological burden could they possibly have?

Just like Little Japanese invaders occupied Huaxia's territory and destructively mined gold, iron, and coal resources, and the Railway Guerrillas managed to salvage some resources from the trains, were the Huaxia people wrong in their actions?

Shazo didn't think there was anything wrong with using Chakra, but since he could confirm that the Chakra contained Kaguya's aura, he knew that using Chakra was risky.

No wonder the Infinite Tsukuyomi can precisely lock onto every Ninja, and even creatures with Chakra God Tree escape.

This is similar to countries where the common currency is deeply pegged to the US dollar; if the Federal Reserve initiates a financial crisis, the entire country will inevitably go bankrupt.

Shazo sensed the Chakra he had just extracted and, confirming that the aura on it was entirely his own, he finally felt relieved.

He muttered, "I still need to think of a way to replace the Chakra of those around me."

"Hagoromo Otsutsuki went to great lengths to spread his Chakra, refusing to reclaim Chakra even in his death. There must have been some immense benefit he knew about it."

"Huaxia has its own 'red ticket' circle, and I need my own 'Chakra' group too."

"Before that, I need a volunteer for the experiment—"

"Orochimaru won't work. He's already messed up his body so badly. Anything is possible with him. Even if he achieves remarkable results, there's no possibility of them being widely adopted."

"Naruto Uzumaki, no."

"This kid's body is a mess too, half of the Nine-Tails, a Asura, and his father's and mother's Chakra, no way."

"What about Tenten?"

"Tsk, I brought this on myself, binding Chakra to the laws of Tenten. I wouldn't dare experiment on her even if I had eight lives."

"Izumi?" Shazo shook his head immediately, grinning, "This girl has even developed the Mangekyō Sharingan now. That's a bloodline far beyond Dust Release Kekkei Tōta. Who knows what kind of laws she'll connect to?"

"No, and not even the Uchiha Clan. Even Kakashi is badly corrupted by the Sharingan, so he's no good either."

"This is unbelievable! I, the Fifth Hokage, want to conduct Chakra experiments, and I can't even find a suitable test subject?"

"Are we going to use Karin, whom we've never even met before?"

"This isn't appropriate. Putting aside whether she has a hidden Sage Body bloodline, she's not trustworthy enough."

"Wait!" Shazo's eyes suddenly lit up. "I've got it! She has a huge amount of Chakra, and she hasn't practiced any random Secret Technique or Senjutsu."

"She doesn't even have Kekkei Genkai; she possesses the purest Chakra."

"The key is that we have a very close relationship. I have the deepest understanding of her physical condition, much deeper than I do of Quan, whom I raised from a young age."

"Okay, let's start with Tsunade!"

Shazo made up his mind, but he didn't rush to find Tsunade.

He completed his training steadily for the day, practicing all ten Kekkei Genkai and five Kekkei Tōta before returning safely to Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, listened to Kakashi Hatake's summary of information, learning about the important events that had occurred from yesterday to today, but made no decisions.

This is a trivial matter; the Lord Hokage doesn't need to rack his brains. Otherwise, why would he keep 15 Department Head on his payroll?

After Kakashi Hatake finished his report, he asked with concern, "Fifth Hokage, the third Chunin Exam is tomorrow. Are you really going to risk acting with Lord Orochimaru?"

Shazo thought for a moment, then ordered Kakashi, "Go and gather all the Department Head, the Konoha Sannin, as well as Shisui and Izumi."

"The time for the plan to be launched is almost here; it's time to inform you of the specifics and details of the plan."

Kakashi Hatake respectfully accepted the order and left.

Before long, the relevant Ninja gathered in the Hokage's office, sitting in a circle around Shazo, who was concentrating on Chakra with his eyes closed, patiently waiting for the Lord Hokage to speak.

It wasn't until Tsunade still damp, arrived late that Shazo opened his eyes and announced the goals and details of the "Konoha Crush Plan."

He and Orochimaru filled in the details for each other, and then told the higher- Ninja in Konoha High Command about them.

Finally, Orochimaru summoned Clone of Shazo, demonstrating to everyone just how astonishing the foundation of his plan truly was.

The Konoha Ninja had no doubts about the details of the operation, but they did have doubts about the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

To be precise, these Konoha Ninja were either too young or too naive; they lost their sense of crisis after enjoying a comfortable life.

The Konoha Ninja felt an overwhelming sense of disgust towards Shazo's actions—his unprovoked plot against the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure and his attempt to seize the Land of Land of Wind.

The Fifth Hokage Shazo, possessed extraordinary insight, especially with his shared Observation Haki ability, which, combined with Magnet Style, recreated the power of [Mantra].

He didn't even need to look at them to know what they were thinking.

Shazo was furious. He slammed his fist on his desk, Jonin all 20 Konoha.

"Damn it, Konoha has only had a few days of peace, and you're already so complacent? Are you going to repeat the same decadent mistakes of the Third Hokage?"

"Since the Sengoku period a thousand years ago, the Ninja World has been in a state of great strife, where both Ninja clans and Ninja villages face the danger of either advancing or falling behind."

"Every Ninja Clans that has survived to this day, every hidden village that has endured to this day, has done so by gritting their teeth, rallying their spirits, and fighting tooth and nail for resources."

"Only our Konoha! We've been living too comfortably. After losing our ambition, we've managed to avoid annihilation thanks to the substantial wealth accumulated by the First Hokage and Second Hokage."

"Ask yourselves honestly, if it weren't for me, if the Third Hokage had persisted until today, facing a combined attack from the Four Great Ninja Villages, could Konoha have truly survived?"

"Just imagine what Konoha would be like without me!"

Shazo pointed at the Konoha Ninja present without any politeness, and began to berate the Kage-level Ninja one by one. "Orochimaru- senpai is definitely still missing-nin, squatting in the snake cave in the Land of Rice Paddies, messing around with his Otogakure."

Orochimaru chuckled indifferently, treating it as if the Fifth Hokage had just farted.

"Jiraiya was still searching for his chosen one, and couldn't even care less about Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, suffering in the village."

Jiraiya was scolded by Shazo, and his face turned red with shame, but he showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Tsunade is still gambling and getting drunk, and she can't sleep unless she loses millions of taels of silver every day."

Tsunade subconsciously pouted, secretly vowing to use an even stronger drug that night to get her revenge.

"Shisui Uchiha, your bones must be rotting by now, right?"

Shisui stood up and replied gratefully, "Yes, Fifth Hokage, without you, I would have died five years ago."

"Uchiha Izumi, you will definitely die on the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night. On that day, the entire Uchiha Clan will be reduced to a single descendant Uchiha Sasuke."

Uchiha Izumi recalled the terror of facing the one-eyed Mangekyō Sharingan Ninja that night, and a flame of resentment ignited in her eyes.

Shazo said, "Konoha wouldn't have the six young Kage-level Ninja it has now, but rather the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō, both Kage-level Ninja who are nearly 70 years old."

"The number of active-duty Ninja in Konoha would not be 20,000, even including the elderly Ninja who must now retire; the total number of Ninja would not reach more than 10,000."

"Can Konoha really withstand a combined attack from the Four Great Ninja Villages, led by Kumogakure?"

No one dares to say they "can stop it".

Just two years ago, when the Third Hokage was still in power, apart from the Konoha Sannin, which of them hadn't felt fear at the Fourth Raikage's aggressive demeanor?

The fear and anxiety that gripped Konoha at that time are still vivid in my mind.

But what does this have to do with actively plotting to seize the land of the Land of Wind?

Shazo's anger showed no sign of abating. He shouted, "Don't you understand? In this era of great competition, if you don't compete, you will fall behind; if you fall behind, you will be attacked; and if you are attacked, you will perish!"

"You think Konoha is safe? You can rest easy now?"

"You will no longer have the possibility of enemies coming to your door?"
