After creating a knockoff Wish Power System with an artifact spirit, Nawaki's confidence soared. He believed no one else could have done a better job. The Wish Power System made the best possible use of the Seed of the Divine Tree's abilities, and since he had created it himself, it was far more reliable than the mysterious systems other reincarnators had acquired.
Besides the Wish Power System, the Seed of the Divine Tree also had some spatial functions. For now, it could only hold objects, not living beings, and its starting space was just one cubic meter.
If he supplied the Seed of the Divine Tree with enough energy to absorb and grow, its space would gradually expand. It might even become large enough to hold living beings and turn into a true world!
The best energy for the Seed of the Divine Tree to absorb was chakra! That's right, chakra, the most basic form of energy in the Shinobi World!
Chakra was composed of two types of energy: 1. Physical energy drawn from the body's 130 trillion cells. 2. Spiritual energy cultivated through long periods of training and accumulated experience. By perfectly combining the two, one could produce chakra.
If one practiced Senjutsu, adding a portion of Natural Energy to chakra would produce Senjutsu Chakra.
According to Uchiha Madara, there was also a God Tree in the world of Naruto. The God Tree was a creation of heaven and earth, revered by humans as a divine pillar and worshipped with devotion. The God Tree was the source of all chakra; the chakra in every shinobi in the Shinobi World came from it.
After Kaguya Otsutsuki stole and ate the God Tree's sacred fruit, she became the first person to possess chakra. She gained the Kekkei Mōra and the power of immortality. Later, the God Tree transformed into the Ten-Tails in an attempt to reclaim the fruit. To seize the chakra of the entire world, Kaguya Otsutsuki merged with the God Tree and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. In the end, the Sage of Six Paths defeated and sealed her.
As Nawaki, a reincarnator, understood it, the God Tree in the world of Naruto was an Innate Spiritual Root. After being worshipped by humans for a long time, this Innate Spiritual Root had gradually awakened its intelligence.
Once the God Tree had awakened its intelligence, it naturally wanted to take human form. But its body was far too enormous, and assuming human form would take countless years.
So the God Tree chose a much faster method: gather the essence of its entire being to nurture a sacred fruit, then transfer its intelligence into the fruit and emerge in human form.
As the body it would use in the future, the God Tree naturally spared no effort. The sacred fruit contained most of its power and all of its bloodline essence. If it successfully took human form, it would become an innate being with an extraordinary origin, and its bloodline abilities alone would make it invincible.
After bearing the fruit, the God Tree poured most of its soul and all of its intelligence into the sacred fruit. Its main body retained only a small fragment of its soul and its instincts, so it could be controlled after the transformation. Before that, it issued a decree to humanity, commanding them never to lay a hand on the sacred fruit.
Everything had gone according to plan. An innate deity was on the verge of being born in the world of Naruto, but at the last moment, disaster struck the God Tree!
That little hussy, Kaguya Otsutsuki, actually stole and ate the sacred fruit (good for her!) and inherited everything the God Tree possessed. The God Tree's intelligence and most of its soul perished, leaving only a small remnant of its soul and its instincts in its main body.
But Kaguya Otsutsuki was only a mortal. How could she withstand such an enormous amount of energy? She was forced to become pregnant and gave birth to the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Otsutsuki Hamura. These two sons took most of her power.
The remnant soul and instincts in the God Tree's main body tried to reclaim its power. In its fury, it gradually became a mindless beast—the Ten-Tails—but it was suppressed by the reincarnation of the God Tree's spirit, the Sage of Six Paths.
Then Kaguya Otsutsuki turned the tables, refined the God Tree's main body, and used Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the entire world. She planned to absorb everyone's chakra, including that of her two sons.
The Sage of Six Paths was the reincarnation of the God Tree's spirit, so he possessed extraordinary wisdom. He not only defeated and sealed his mother but also extracted all the Ten-Tails' chakra and sealed it within himself. He then used Chibaku Tensei to cast his mother's physical husk into space, where it became the moon. At the very end, Kaguya Otsutsuki split off a fragment of her will, made it into Black Zetsu, and sent it to the surface so she could rise again.
Afterward, the Sage of Six Paths uncovered the true nature of chakra and created ninjutsu. He founded the Ninja Sect among humanity, upheld peace, and became a legend. But without his original body, he could not live forever. After extracting the Ten-Tails' chakra from himself and dividing it among the Nine Tailed Beasts, he died.
Since the God Tree was the source of chakra, and shinobi had created their method of cultivating chakra by imitating the God Tree, this energy contained vitality and the mysteries of natural laws. It was ideally suited for the Seed of the Divine Tree to absorb and was the best nourishment to help it grow.
But Nawaki was only one year old, and his body had been too underdeveloped and fragile before. He had never practiced the Chakra Extraction Technique. The only energy he could offer the Seed of the Divine Tree was Wish Power. But Wish Power was precious; spending it to exchange for chakra that could be found anywhere would be a waste. So after a brief experiment, he had stopped, planning to cultivate chakra and then provide it to the Seed of the Divine Tree.
After all, his body contained the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans. Not only did he possess immense life energy, but once he started training, his chakra reserves should far exceed those of ordinary people.
In the world of Naruto, if he wanted to make money with Wish Power, what would be the most worthwhile thing to exchange for? Gold or silver? Or perhaps directly materializing large-denomination banknotes? None of the above. Large banknotes had serial numbers issued by banks, so carelessly duplicating them would make it easy for someone to trace them and expose his secret. Gold and silver were accepted everywhere, but they were too dense, so the amount he could get for the same weight was too small. Chakra Paper was the most worthwhile choice. It was a specialty of the world of Naruto, used to test chakra affinities, and nearly every shinobi needed it. Anything associated with shinobi was bound to be expensive. Shinobi were born superior to ordinary people in the world of Naruto, with distinguished status; even a Genin could be respectfully addressed as "sir" by civilians. So Chakra Paper, a material that was both lightweight and valuable, was the best choice.
For the past year, Nawaki had used a child's curiosity as cover and asked his grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, and his older sister, Tsunade, to collect all kinds of materials. Chakra Paper was among them.
But he hadn't materialized a large quantity to make money. He wasn't short of money right now, and as a reincarnator, he had many ways to earn it. There was no need to waste his precious Wish Power points. Besides, as a one-year-old child, he couldn't explain where a large supply of Chakra Paper had come from.
To use his precious Wish Power wisely and avoid waste, Nawaki had already decided that he would never spend Wish Power points on external goods unless absolutely necessary.
His top priority now was to use the Wish Power System to strengthen himself and ensure he could survive in the world of Naruto, then fulfill his mother's dying wish and live a happy life with a smile!
His mother in this life had truly affected Nawaki deeply. When he had just been reincarnated, his mind had completely collapsed; he had been at his most vulnerable. Though all she had given him was a smile and a blessing, they had left an indelible mark on his heart. That mark was love, the brightest and warmest feeling within him. But before he could even face that feeling, his mother had left him. The mark had turned into a blade, cutting into the softest place in his heart and leaving him with endless grief.
To understand love and then lose it—only he could know how painful that was. Sometimes Nawaki couldn't help thinking that if he had the Sharingan, this "gift" from his mother would surely qualify him to awaken the Mangekyo.
