Kaguya's thoughts were simple.

She wanted to offer the entire Ninja World as a sacrifice so the Divine Tree could bear another fruit.

The Otsutsuki Clan had sent her to plant the tree, and ultimately, it was all for the Chakra Fruit.

As long as she could find a way to bear another Chakra Fruit, nothing else would matter.

Whether it was presenting the later Chakra Fruit to the Otsutsuki Main Family as proof of her mission, or consuming another Chakra Fruit herself to strengthen her power and fend off pursuers from the Otsutsuki Main Family, both were good options for Kaguya.

As for the others in the Ninja World?

What did they have to do with Kaguya?

In Kaguya's eyes, even if everyone in the entire Ninja World perished, as long as she and Nanchuan You were fine, it wouldn't matter.

"And what happens after sacrificing everyone in the world?"

Nanchuan You didn't blame Kaguya for her thoughts. He simply asked calmly, "What if it's not enough to bear the next fruit?"

Hearing this, Kaguya fell silent, speechless.

She knew it too.

Given the current state of the Ninja World, even sacrificing all life within it would likely not be enough for the Divine Tree to bear another Chakra Fruit.

Ultimately, the energy required to grow a Chakra Fruit was immense.

Sacrificing lives and using their life energy to nurture the fruit wasn't impossible, but it certainly wasn't easy.

"Let me try."

Looking at the silent Kaguya before him, Nanchuan You smiled and spoke, "Besides, your Main Family won't be arriving that quickly, right?"

"Let me try first. If it doesn't work, then you can try your method, alright?"

He wasn't in a hurry.

According to the original storyline, there were at least several thousand years before the Otsutsuki Main Family would arrive in the Ninja World.

Such a long time was enough for him to accomplish many things.

Many experiments could be conducted during this period.

If all else failed, making other plans wouldn't be too late.

Before him, Kaguya looked at Nanchuan You with some confusion.

In her opinion, there were only a few methods capable of accelerating the Divine Tree's growth.

Aside from sacrificing the entire Ninja World, were there any other ways?

However, she had an instinctive trust in Nanchuan You.

Since he said so, she was willing to let him try.

Nanchuan You quickly began his actions.

In this world's Ninja World, the Land of Ancestors had already been unified.

The threat of war no longer existed, and the Commoners in various regions had received land through redistribution. The four directions were filled with peace and harmony.

An ambitious period of development began.

Over five full years, through production and development, the grain produced and circulated within the Land of Ancestors greatly increased.

Most importantly, Chakra seeds were officially distributed by Nanchuan You.

Chakra seeds, these things were originally bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths.

In legends, the Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Sect, connecting people through the power of Chakra.

His original intention was for people to understand each other. The result, however, was the distribution of Chakra seeds and the spread of Chakra power.

What the Sage of Six Paths could do, Otsutsuki Kaguya, as the ancestor of Chakra, could naturally do as well.

However, unlike the Sage of Six Paths' absurd goal, Nanchuan You's purpose in distributing Chakra seeds was clear from the beginning.

He nurtured the power of Chakra into production, greatly enhancing the construction efficiency of the entire nation.

In fact, while Chakra was very useful in warfare, its effect in production was even better.

The land wasn't flat enough for good production? Use Earth Style.

Drought and lack of water? Use Water Style.

Injured or sick? Use some medical Ninjutsu.

In all aspects, Chakra was almost omnipotent.

Whether this power was used for killing or saving people depended entirely on how it was applied.

And now, this power was being applied by Nanchuan You to production.

In a short period, various methods of applying Chakra in production were researched and quickly implemented.

All of this ultimately led to one result: a significant increase in productivity.

With the characteristics of an agricultural era, when productivity greatly increased, population expansion also began.

Fundamentally, birth rates in the agricultural era were already high. The reason population growth was not obvious most of the time was mainly due to limitations in food and medicine.

And now, with Chakra driving a great development in productivity, the food problem has been largely solved.

In terms of medicine, there are now specialized medical Ninja, and various medical Ninjutsu have been rapidly developed. The probability of complications during childbirth or infant mortality has been controlled.

On top of these fundamental conditions, there is also the special period of the recently concluded war and the egalitarianism after land redistribution, both providing a huge boost.

With all factors working together, the result was simple.

Explosive growth.

In just ten short years, the population of the entire Ninja World has multiplied several times over.

More advanced industries began to develop continuously. Once productivity was sufficient, basic education also gradually began.

Of course, in this world, the most important basic education is not anything else, but how to refine Chakra.

After Chakra Seeds were spread, the next generation of children growing up in the Ninja World now basically possess the ability to refine Chakra, though the amount varies due to innate talent.

And this is exactly what Nanchuan You intended.

Within the royal capital of the Land of Ancestors.

Kaguya slowly opened her eyes.

Led by Nanchuan You, she arrived deep within a palace.

Under her gaze, Nanchuan You stepped forward and slowly opened a wooden box.

The next moment, Otsutsuki Kaguya's eyes widened.

"This is..."

Before her were countless Emerald Crystals.

The Emerald Crystals were beautiful, resembling some kind of gemstone, pure and captivating.

And in Otsutsuki Kaguya's eyes, these crystals held another significant meaning.

"Such immense Chakra..."

She stood rooted to the spot, murmuring to herself with disbelief in her eyes.

"Where did you get these?"

She looked at Nanchuan You before her, unable to help but ask.

"Naturally, they are the fruits of hard work."

Meeting Kaguya's gaze, Nanchuan You smiled.

Where did this immense Chakra come from?

The answer was, by "shearing the wool."

Mainly, shearing the wool of students.

In the current Ninja World, under Nanchuan You's command, academies have begun to be established in various regions.

Although due to many limitations, it's impossible to cover all suitable children, covering over a million students is still easily achievable.

These people are the best source of Chakra.
