Just like last time, Shinji didn't cultivate a Chakra Fruit in the Shinobi World, where Natural Energy was abundant. Instead, he planted the two Divine Trees in a desolate alternate dimension.
The two Divine Trees had already stored up enough energy. All they needed were sacrifices, so it made little difference where they were planted. At most, it would take a couple of days more or less. For Shinji, safety—or rather, secrecy—was what mattered most.
Thump, thump.
Shinji tossed Otsutsuki Urashiki and Fuma Ichiro onto the ground, then looked up at the two Divine Trees standing not far in front of him.
"Mmmph! Mmmph!"
Bound and gagged, Otsutsuki Urashiki sensed something and struggled violently on the ground. But his entire body was pierced by numerous Black Rods, and Shinji had also bound him with a Sealing Technique. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
