Ying Yue decided to solve the problem at its root.
He carefully drafted a grand plan, while officials of the United Government and experts in geography and climate worked together to refine the development details. The goal was to fundamentally improve the environments of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth.
First, Ying Yue envisioned carving a natural passage through the high mountains between the Land of Rain, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth, allowing ocean moisture to enter this inland region more freely. This would gradually increase rainfall in the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, creating the conditions needed to curb desertification and improve the soil.
The scale and difficulty of this project exceeded anyone's imagination. Even shinobi from across the Ninja World had never dared imagine such a thing.
The officials repeatedly urged Ying Yue to abandon such an enormous geographical transformation project, for it was virtually impossible to accomplish.
But Ying Yue firmly declared, "Changing nature may be an undertaking unseen in a thousand years, but since it is for the long-term peace of the Ninja World and the well-being of its people, I will never retreat."
Thus, he decided to act personally.
To cut through the mountain range blocking the moisture, Ying Yue unleashed his formidable Wood Release.
A gigantic wooden figure over sixty meters tall rose from the ground, using its immense strength to split mountains and shave down ridges.

Ying Yue's actions shocked shinobi throughout the Ninja World.
Whether in Iwagakure or Sunagakure, even the residents of the Land of Fire and the Land
