"Just some students from a ninja school can provide this much chakra?"

Looking at Nanchuan You before her, Kaguya's eyes held confusion.

She had been taken by Nanchuan You to see those so-called students of the Ninja Academy before.

Those students were all descendants of the Natives. Because of the spread of the Chakra Seeds, they now had some chakra in their bodies, but neither its quality nor quantity was worth looking at.

In the eyes of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra, they were no different from ordinary ants.

And these ordinary ants could actually gather such vast chakra?

Kaguya instinctively refused to believe it.

"Drifting sand may be small, but once gathered together, it becomes a desert."

Nanchuan You explained, "The amount of chakra one person can refine may not be much, but once there are many people, the situation changes."

How many students were now gathered in the various Ninja Academies across the land?

Ordinary people didn't know, but Nanchuan You knew clearly.

It was at least two million and counting.

With such a massive number, even if each person only provided a tiny bit of chakra, the total chakra gathered would be immense.

What's more, to better collect chakra, Nanchuan You had deliberately arranged many things.

For example, in every academy, he placed a Chakra Collector made from the crystallized power of the God Tree.

Another example was the deliberate inclusion of a Chakra Refinement Class in the academy curriculum, requiring every student to inject the chakra they refined into the God Tree Crystal daily, ensuring stable collection.

After such a long time, if the chakra collected wasn't enough, that would be the strange thing.

"In the future, every year, we can have this much chakra?"

Listening to Nanchuan You's explanation, Otsutsuki Kaguya's eyes gradually lit up.

She looked at Nanchuan You before her and couldn't help asking.

"Of course not."

Meeting her gaze, Nanchuan You shook his head.

Just as disappointment welled up in Kaguya's heart, he spoke again: "Every year, there will be more than this."

Once the Chakra School system was established, it would only grow smoother over time until it reached a certain limit.

As the education system improved, more children would enroll each year, joining the ranks of the chakra-refining army.

And these were all living sources of chakra.

"Every year, there will be more than this?"

Looking at the Chakra Crystals before her, Otsutsuki Kaguya's breathing quickened.

The chakra contained in these crystals before her was already a considerable number in her eyes.

If every year she could use even more chakra than this, then perhaps it wouldn't take too long for the God Tree to truly bear a second fruit.

No, at this rate, it might not stop at one—even two or three were possible.

"Such a simple method—why didn't I think of it before?"

She mused inwardly.

"This is far from simple."

Before her, Nanchuan You shook his head.

What he had done seemed simple, but the difficulty was anything but small.

Establishing a complete, universal education system sounded easy, but even in his past life's era, it took many years to achieve.

Without sufficient productivity to support a large number of people free from labor, children simply couldn't attend school.

Without a ruling system with enough control, a complete education system couldn't be established either—at least not one covering enough people.

To reach the current stage, even with the aid of chakra—a power beyond the norm—Nanchuan You had spent nearly twenty years.

And this was only possible because he was on the right path, with no external interference, and with the full support of Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra.

Otherwise, it would have been far more troublesome.

"Cough... cough..."

Standing there, Nanchuan You was about to say something when he was interrupted by a fit of coughing.

His face was pale, looking somewhat weak.

"You."

Kaguya stepped forward, injecting her chakra into Nanchuan You's body, a hint of worry in her eyes.

As time passed, Nanchuan You was gradually getting older.

By now, he was thirty years old.

At this age, he should still be in his prime, in the full vigor of his years.

Yet Nanchuan You's body appeared somewhat frail.

He had examined this thoroughly, and it seemed to stem from a congenital condition.

Otsutsuki Kaguya was deeply worried about Nanchuan You's physical state.

The Otsutsuki Clan's lifespan was already long, far outstripping that of mortal races.

And after consuming the Chakra Fruit, Kaguya's constitution and bloodline had been elevated to the point of near-immortality.

She would never die of old age.

But Nanchuan You was still just a mortal.

He would age, and one day, he would die.

Though nourished by Kaguya's chakra could delay this process somewhat, it was only a matter of time.

To prolong Nanchuan You's life, Kaguya offered her own proposal.

She could implant her own Karma within his body, using it to help his physique undergo a transformation.

Karma was a unique technique mastered by the Otsutsuki Clan.

It could back up an Otsutsuki's bodily data and transfer it into another person's body.

Once Karma was planted, the host would begin to transform into an Otsutsuki, until they were completely replaced by one.

After Otsutsuki Kaguya's original body fell, she was able to be reborn through her clone thanks to this Karma ability.

It sounded rather similar to possession.

Under normal circumstances, having Karma planted was not a good thing for an ordinary person.

But if one could actively control it, that was a different matter.

Take the current situation, for example.

Otsutsuki Kaguya could plant her own Karma inside Nanchuan You's body, causing him to transform into an Otsutsuki physique.

As a backup, the Karma would only activate after Otsutsuki Kaguya's original body died.

And Kaguya could actively control this process.

In theory, this method would allow Nanchuan You to gain a portion of the Otsutsuki Clan's power, without significantly affecting him.

Of course, even so, it could only greatly extend his lifespan; he would still eventually die.

But that didn't matter.

As long as he could consume a Chakra Fruit before dying of old age, he would be like Otsutsuki Kaguya before him—awakening from an incomplete Otsutsuki body into an immortal lifeform.

At that point, they could be together for the long haul, without worrying about lifespan.

After mulling over this proposal, Nanchuan You simply thought for a moment and then agreed.

To him, this proposal had few downsides.
