New World
The Land of Wind a large country with the largest land area in the ninja world, but it also has the largest desert in the ninja world, and the entire country is covered by yellow sand.
However, at this moment, there was a colossal tree with a diameter of over fifty meters, like a pillar reaching into the clouds, with no end in sight.
The vast desert, originally covered in yellow sand, was transformed into Oasis in just seven days.
Where is this?
"Is this the desert of the Land of Wind?"
"How did it turn into Oasis?"
"What we saw was real!"
Did we win?
"What's going on? All my Chakra has been absorbed!"
"Mine too!"
"Me too!"
"Look at the sky!"
The ninjas released by the Divine Tree awoke from the Genjutsu, only to find that they were in a place that had transformed from a desert into a lush Oasis. However, they were clearly bound by the Divine Tree and had not changed their location at all. Therefore, the only possibility was that the desert had completely turned into Oasis in just seven days.
That's simply godlike!
This is something that humans are simply incapable of doing.
The ninjas who had previously harbored doubts about the existence of the Otsutsuki Clan now completely believed Orochimaru and Madara's words.
However, they suddenly discovered that almost all of their Chakra had been absorbed by the Divine Tree, and their strength had decreased by at least 90%.
Orochimaru and Madara are still alive?!
Why did this happen?!
"They're like a persistent ghost, how awful!"
However, when everyone saw Orochimaru and Madara reappear in the clouds, they were immediately incredulous.
At this moment, Shiraha and Kushina were covered in blood and their energy had weakened to the extreme. Orochimaru and Madara had 'revived' again. What should they do next?
Shiraha and Kushina swayed and fell from the sky. The strongmen from various villages gathered around them, but they had very little Chakra left and were unable to join the battle.
"Shiraha, Kushina, you are both incredibly foolish! Even if you win today, your injuries will not heal in a short time."
Orochimaru's eyes held a hint of madness.
"It won't be long before the Otsutsuki Clan arrives on this planet, and then all humanity on the planet will be wiped out. The outcome will be the same!"
Ban's voice was deep and slow.
As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies turned to dust in a gentle breeze, vanishing with the wind, and they died completely.
Orochimaru and Madara are dead?!
"We won!"
"We won!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Upon seeing Orochimaru and Madara completely dead, the tens of thousands of surviving ninjas erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Shiraha, Kushina, how are your injuries?" Nawaki walked unsteadily to Shiraha's side.
After awakening Wood Release, his Chakra levels surged, but he also lost more than 90% of his Chakra, which was extremely taxing on him.
"With Kurama by my side, the recovery speed will be very fast," Kushina replied.
"This injury won't kill anyone, but it will take a long time to recover."
Shiraha's expression was extremely solemn.
At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Six Great Ninja Villages surrounding the two also became depressed. Unlike the other ninjas, they were not optimistic. They had indeed overcome this difficulty, but what would they do when the Otsutsuki Clan descended in the near future?
They had already put in a lot of effort just to deal with Orochimaru and Madara, and it could be said that they had no influence on the outcome of the final battle. The victory was almost entirely due to Shiraha and Kushina.
If Shiraha and Kushina were to be defeated by the even stronger Otsutsuki Clan, humanity would be completely wiped out.
Unless Shiraha and Kushina's strength increases significantly in a short period of time, their chances of winning can be increased.
By this time, everyone already knew the method to significantly improve Kushina and Shiraha's strength, but some people were reluctant to mention it because with such a huge gap in strength, many things would not go as they expected; after all, people have selfish motives.
Of course, in such a critical moment, even if someone has ulterior motives, no one would be foolish enough to bring them up directly.
"Didn't Madara say before that as long as he absorbs all the Chakra of the ninjas through the Divine Tree and gathers it into himself, he can recover from his injuries and even advance further? Now, as long as we gather the Chakra into Shiraha and Kushina, their injuries should be healed immediately, and they should become even stronger. This would greatly increase our chances of defeating the Otsutsuki Clan!"
Tsunade seriously.
Seeing the changing expressions on Ōnoki, Third Raikage, and the others, Tsunade continued, "Are you still thinking about your little schemes at a time like this?"
If Shiraha and Kushina hadn't defeated Orochimaru and Madara, we would be dead!
Even if they were to absorb the Divine Tree's Chakra, they would probably only reach the level Orochimaru and Madara possessed, which would be utterly useless against the Otsutsuki Clan.
"Indeed, letting Shiraha and Kushina absorb the Divine Tree Chakra is the best option."
After a moment's thought, Minato Namikaze expressed his agreement.
"I agree."
"I agree. This is the best choice, and the only choice."
The ninjas of Uzushiogakure were naturally the most supportive of this proposal.
"To be honest, Tsunade's suggestion was actually the method I just thought of," Shiraha said seriously, glancing at Tsunade. He hadn't expected that Tsunade would be able to cooperate so perfectly in this final act without any prior discussion.
"If you defeat the Otsutsuki Clan, how will you treat our villages?" the Third Raikage asked, expressing the concerns of the other village ninjas present.
"Can you guarantee that you won't annex our village afterward?" Ōnoki's words were even more direct.
"No need for afterwards," Shiraha said, shaking his head.
"What's the meaning?!"
"You mean...?"
The Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, Ōnoki and others were all shocked, thinking that Shiraha was about to turn against them.
"You don't need to misunderstand. What I mean is, in order to plan everything in a coordinated manner, I have decided to eliminate the concept of ninja villages and integrate the Six Great Ninja Villages into one. Furthermore, I will unite all the countries in the world to establish a unified and efficient nation, and use all available forces to fight against the Otsutsuki."
Shiraha explained.
"At that time, all ninjas will be able to obtain all the secret techniques and knowledge of the original Six Great Ninja Villages, and all the technologies that the Land of Whirlpools and its allies possessed will be shared with everyone. By combining the power of all mankind in the world, we can definitely deal with the Otsutsuki Clan better."
"The reason I was able to recover quickly after being seriously injured and ambushed by Orochimaru this time is because our Land of Whirlpools has long mastered Cloning Technology, and I recently completed the body replacement."
"At that time, Ōnoki, you can replace your body with one that is decades younger while retaining all your strength. Third Raikage, I can teach you the Nintaijutsu I have mastered, and I believe you can take your Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the next level. Mei Terumi, through Cell Transplantation, I can grant you more Kekkei Genkai. Minato, you can learn more powerful Space-Time Ninjutsu."
"That's the benefit of unification!"
"To tell you the truth, even without Orochimaru and Madara, and without the Otsutsuki Clan, our Land of Whirlpools has long planned to unify the world. It's just that we haven't taken action yet because of the heavy casualties during war."
"And now, the time has come when unification is imperative."
Shiraha's words plunged everyone into silence.
"Even if you can guarantee to do all this, what about the Great Nations? Will the Daimyo agree?" Mei Terumi couldn't help but ask, a question that reflected the concerns of the other Kage.
"At this critical moment of life and death, the daimyo have no choice! From today onwards, the era of daimyo rule over ninjas will come to a complete end, and the new nation will be a country that integrates military, political, and economic functions," Shiraha said resolutely.
Chiyo: "Sunagakure agrees."
Chiyo was the first to agree, because Sunagakure had been ruined by Rasa. Even without Orochimaru, Madara, and the threat of the Otsutsuki, Sunagakure would probably cease to exist in the next Ninja World War. Unification and receiving the same treatment was the best option for Sunagakure.
As for whether Shiraha will keep his promise, everyone present knew that they could only choose to trust Shiraha.
"I understand. I agree on behalf of Kirigakure," Mei Terumi said.
Next was Minato Namikaze, who said, "In that case, I agree on behalf of Konoha."
Ōnoki: "Iwagakure agrees."
Third Raikage: "Kumogakure agrees."
The process of unifying the world encountered resistance from many sides, but with the Six Great Ninja Villages taking the lead and having absolute military power as a backing, the establishment of a unified nation took only three months.
Some people, in order to show their loyalty, suggested that the unified nation inherit the name of the Land of Whirlpools.
However, Shiraha named the new country the ' Serpent Spirit Empire '.
Kushina will become the first queen of the Serpent Spirit Empire, and Shiraha has truly fulfilled the promise he made to Kushina back then—to be the man behind the queen!
The capital of the Serpent Spirit Empire was built on the Oasis of the Land of Wind, close to the location of the Divine Tree.
In just ten years, the whole world has been transformed.
Because the Divine Tree granted Chakra to all of humanity, and because the world was unified and there was no more war, Chakra was no longer used for combat, but instead became a tool for humans to increase their physical strength and enhance their Mental Energy. Regularly training Chakra every day became a habit for all of humanity.
Chakra training has become a new type of health regimen.
Compulsory education has been implemented worldwide; every human being must attend school.
Thanks to another breakthrough in the genetic and Cell Technology of the Serpent Spirit Corporation, human lifespan has been extended.
Some talented individuals who make contributions in fields such as scientific research can receive rewards of Divine Tree Chakra, granting them a longer lifespan.
Nowadays, almost everything related to human beings' clothing, food, housing, and transportation is linked to Chakra. In order to settle down in a big city, in addition to money, one also needs to pay a certain amount of Chakra to the Divine Tree.
If you don't have enough Chakra right now, you can take out a loan from the Serpent Spirit Empire Bank and pay in installments over several decades or even hundreds of years.
The Chakra network centered on the Divine Tree has covered the entire planet. People can learn about major events happening around the world without leaving their homes, simply by using Chakra ID card bound to their personal soul aura.
If powerful individuals have a need for combat, they can engage in battle within the physical Genjutsu space constructed by the God Tree Network by paying with Chakra, fighting against any virtual character that leaves behind Chakra aura.
It's not impossible for him to face the top two, "Dragon King" Shiraha and "Blazing Flame" Kushina.
With enough Chakra, people can even use the God Tree Network to cross the distance between life and death and have video calls with their loved ones in the Pure Land.
In short, as long as you pay enough Chakra to the Divine Tree, you can even revive the dead.
Ten years ago, most people at the bottom of society were struggling to make ends meet, but ten years later, productivity has developed so rapidly that it has even exceeded people's needs for material and cultural products.
In just ten years, the population of the ninja world has multiplied several times, exceeding 1.5 billion.
However, this planet is much larger than Shiraha's first life, so it's still a long way from reaching its population limit. In addition, Shiraha has already begun sending clones to explore planets in nearby star systems.
Because the top echelons have immortal beings like Shiraha and Kushina to suppress everything, and the upper echelons have elites gathered from all walks of life, the inherent hidden dangers of the imperial system can always be easily eliminated.
All the Serpent Spirit Empire will have ample time to develop slowly and gradually transition to a more superior system.
PS: This chapter is a supplement to the previous one. I actually finished writing it a few days ago, but recently the upstairs, next-door, and across-the-way neighbors have all been doing renovations, so I just couldn't write it. I only revised the content today.
I was originally planning to take a few days off and write one or two chapters at a time, but I'm currently renovating, so I can only take a break for now. I will definitely make up for what I promised.
Regarding readers' requests for storylines featuring female characters like Tsunade, Pakura, Mei Terumi, to be honest, I'm not very good at that kind of thing, but I can write a little bit about it, as long as I'm careful with the boundaries.
In addition, there are side stories. I feel there's still a lot I can write, and I'll take my time.
