After creating the artifact-spirit version of the Wish Power System, Nawaki's confidence surged. He believed that no one else could have done a better job than he had; the Wish Power System could maximize the miraculous utility of the Seed of the Divine Tree. Moreover, since he had created it with his own hands, it was far more reliable than the mysterious systems possessed by his fellow transmigrators.

Beyond the Wish Power System, the Seed of the Divine Tree also possessed certain spatial functions. Currently, it could only store inanimate objects and not living beings, and the initial space was a mere one cubic meter.

If the Seed of the Divine Tree were provided with sufficient energy to absorb and grow, the space would gradually expand, eventually even becoming capable of holding living beings and becoming a true world!

And the energy most suitable for the Seed of the Divine Tree to absorb was chakra! That's right, the most fundamental energy of the ninja world: chakra!

The composition of chakra is: 1. Physical energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the human body. 2. Spiritual energy forged through long periods of training and accumulated experience. The perfect fusion of these two produces chakra.

If one practices senjutsu, adding a portion of natural energy to the chakra results in senjutsu chakra.

According to Uchiha Madara, there was also a Divine Tree in the Naruto world. The Divine Tree was a creation of heaven and earth, revered by humanity as a divine pillar and worshipped with awe. The Divine Tree was the root of all chakra; the chakra within every ninja in the ninja world originated from it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki became the first person to possess chakra after stealing and eating the sacred fruit of the Divine Tree, gaining the power of the Kekkei Mora and immortality. Afterward, the Divine Tree transformed into the Ten-Tails to reclaim the sacred fruit. To seize the chakra of the entire world, Kaguya Otsutsuki merged with the Divine Tree to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, only to be defeated and sealed by the Sage of Six Paths in the end.

According to Nawaki's understanding as a transmigrator, the Divine Tree of the Naruto world was a primordial spiritual root. This primordial spiritual root had gradually developed sentience after being worshipped by humans for a long time.

After gaining sentience, the Divine Tree naturally desired to take on a physical form, but the body of a primordial spiritual root was far too massive; taking on a form would require an immeasurable amount of time.

Thus, the Divine Tree chose a faster method: gathering the essence of its entire being to gestate a sacred fruit, then transferring its consciousness into the fruit to manifest a physical form.

As this would be its future body, the Divine Tree naturally poured its heart and soul into it, so the sacred fruit contained most of the Divine Tree's power and all of its bloodline essence. If it could successfully manifest, it would not only become a primordial being with an extraordinary foundation, but it would also be invincible under heaven by relying on its innate bloodline abilities.

After the fruit was produced, the Divine Tree injected the vast majority of its soul and all of its consciousness into the sacred fruit, leaving only a small portion of its soul and instincts in the main body to maintain control after manifestation. Before this, it had even issued a decree to humanity, strictly forbidding them from touching the sacred fruit.

Originally, the entire plan was perfect. It seemed as though a primordial god was about to be born in the Naruto world, but at the final moment, the Divine Tree's calamity descended!

That little bitch Kaguya Otsutsuki actually stole and ate the sacred fruit (well done!), inheriting everything the Divine Tree possessed. The Divine Tree's consciousness and the majority of its soul perished then and there, leaving only a small remnant of its soul and instincts in the main body.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki was merely a mortal and could not withstand such vast energy, so she was forced into pregnancy, giving birth to the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Otsutsuki Hamura. These two sons split away the majority of her power.

The remnant soul and instincts within the Divine Tree's body, desperate to reclaim their power, gradually devolved into a mindless beast—the Ten-Tails—out of rage, only to be suppressed by the reincarnation of the Divine Tree's spirit, the Sage of Six Paths.

Then, Kaguya Otsutsuki turned the tables, refining the Divine Tree's main body and using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the entire world, intending to absorb the chakra of everyone, including her two sons.

Since the Sage of Six Paths was the reincarnation of the Divine Tree's spirit, he possessed extraordinary wisdom. He not only defeated and sealed his mother but also extracted all the Ten-Tails chakra and sealed it within his own body. He then used Chibaku Tensei to launch his mother's physical shell into space, where it became the moon. At the final moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki split off a portion of her will to create Black Zetsu, casting it onto the ground to facilitate her eventual comeback.

Afterward, the Sage of Six Paths unraveled the true meaning of chakra, created ninjutsu, established the Shinobi Sect among humans, and became a legend for maintaining peace. However, having lost his original body, he could not remain immortal and passed away after extracting the Ten-Tails chakra from his body and dividing it into the nine Tailed Beasts.

Because the root of chakra was the Divine Tree, and the method ninjas used to cultivate chakra was created by imitating the Divine Tree, this energy contained vitality and the mysteries of natural laws, making it the perfect nourishment for Nawaki's Seed of the Divine Tree to absorb.

However, Nawaki was only one year old, and his body was still underdeveloped and very fragile, so he had not yet practiced chakra extraction techniques. The only energy he could use for the Seed of the Divine Tree to absorb was wish power. But how precious were wish power points? Using them to exchange for chakra, which could be found everywhere, was too wasteful. Thus, after a brief experiment, he stopped, planning to provide the Seed of the Divine Tree with chakra once he had cultivated it himself.

One must know that his body contained the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans; not only was his life energy immense, but after training, the quantity of his chakra should far exceed that of an ordinary person.

In the Naruto world, if one wanted to make money using wish power, what material was the most cost-effective to manifest? Gold? Silver? Or perhaps manifesting high-denomination banknotes directly? None of the above. Large banknotes had bank serial numbers, and if manifested recklessly, they could easily be traced, leading to the exposure of his secrets. While precious metals like gold and silver were hard currency, their density was too high, and the quantity obtained for the same mass was too small. Therefore, exchanging for Chakra Paper was the most cost-effective. As a specialty of the Naruto world used to test chakra affinity, almost every ninja needed it. Once anything was linked to ninjas, the price was guaranteed to be high. Because ninjas were naturally superior in the Naruto world and held extraordinary status, even a genin could be respectfully addressed as "Lord" by commoners. Thus, a material as light yet valuable as Chakra Paper was the most profitable commodity.

Over the past year, using a child's curiosity as a cover, Nawaki had asked his grandmother, Mito, and his sister, Tsunade, to collect various materials, among which was Chakra Paper.

However, he did not manifest it in large quantities to make money. He was not short on funds, and as a transmigrator, he had many ways to earn money; there was no need to waste precious wish power points. Moreover, as a one-year-old child, he would have no way to explain the source of the Chakra Paper if he manifested it in bulk.

To use his precious wish power rationally and avoid waste, Nawaki had decided that unless it was an absolute last resort, he would never use wish power points to exchange for external objects.

For him, the priority now was to use the Wish Power System to improve his own strength, ensuring he could survive in the Naruto world and eventually fulfill his mother's dying wish: to live happily with a smile on his face!

His mother in this life had truly touched Nawaki deeply. When he had first transmigrated, his psyche was completely shattered and he was at his most vulnerable. Although it was just a smile and a blessing, it had left an indelible mark on his heart. This mark was called love; it was the brightest and warmest emotion in his heart. Yet, before he could even face this emotion, his mother had left him. This mark had turned into a sharp blade, leaving him with endless grief in the softest part of his heart.

To know love and then lose it—this was a pain only he could feel. Sometimes, Nawaki couldn't help but think that if he possessed the Sharingan, he would surely have the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyo, relying on this "gift" from his mother.
