Inside Minato Namikaze's home in Konoha.
Kushina sat listlessly in the living room, flipping through the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Scroll while repeatedly glancing toward the second bedroom.
Just moments ago, she had already heard sounds coming from the second bedroom.
"That brat, is he awake?"
Kushina's eyes flickered before she closed them.
"I can't sense any malice!"
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina could use the Nine-Tails' power to sense the malice emitted by those around her.
Even if that malicious intent was only a fleeting thought, she could sense it.
Normally, Kushina did not activate Malice Sensing.
After all, even ordinary people harbored a trace of malice to some extent.
The endless malice had once nearly driven Kushina berserk.
Yet now, she could not sense even the slightest malice from Ato.
It was too pure!
Ato's heart was far too pure!
It was as pure as that of a newborn infant, without the faintest trace of malice mixed within its depths.
But how was that possible?
Without malice, how could Ato have destroyed an entire town with a casual wave of his hand?
"Nine-Tails, what's going on?" Kushina felt that something might be wrong with her perception.
"Idiot, would you feel malice toward the ants beneath your feet?" The Nine-Tails' gloating laughter rang out in Kushina's mind.
Kushina's pupils instantly constricted.
She finally understood why her Malice Sensing was ineffective against Ato.
Because in Ato's eyes, every living thing in the Ninja World was as insignificant as an ant.
No one cared about the ants beneath their feet.
Nor did anyone care how many ants they crushed while walking.
"Saiyan Ato equally disregards everyone in the Ninja World!!"
Kushina said with a bitter smile.
"Nine-Tails, if we enter Nine-Tails Mode, can we defeat Ato?" Kushina looked at the second bedroom door and asked uneasily.
"Can you defeat Hashirama Senju?" the Nine-Tails sneered.
The Nine-Tails' mockery immediately made Kushina abandon such foolish thoughts.
Of course she could not defeat Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.
Therefore, even Nine-Tails Mode as a perfect Jinchuriki could not defeat Ato.
Creak.
The second bedroom door made a soft sound, instantly snapping Kushina back to her senses.
Ato walked out of the bedroom. Upon seeing Kushina in the living room, he bluntly ordered, "Kushina, prepare something for me to eat. I'm hungry."
Kushina did not feel offended by Ato's command. She merely nodded calmly. "Ato, please wait a moment."
Then, under Ato's gaze, Kushina formed hand seals with both hands. "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Poof! Poof! Poof!
A series of white smoke bursts erupted throughout the living room.
Then dozens of Kushina's Shadow Clones appeared.
"Prepare enough food for Ato." Kushina waved her hand and issued the command to her Shadow Clones.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The dozens of Shadow Clones swiftly left the room.
One minute later, the dozens of Shadow Clones quickly returned to the living room.
Each of them held a massive Object Sealing Scroll.
"Sealing Release."
One of the Shadow Clones directly unfurled the Sealing Scroll. With a puff of white smoke, more than a dozen plates of steaming honey-roasted meat appeared on the scroll.
"As expected, the Naruto World's Sealing Scrolls are incredibly convenient."
Ato's eyes lit up as he looked at the steaming roasted meat on the Sealing Scroll.
Setting everything else aside, storing supplies alone was extremely convenient.
In terms of practicality, it could rival the Dragon Ball World's Universal Capsules.
Of course, the Naruto World's Sealing Scrolls still needed to be miniaturized before they could truly compare to Universal Capsules.
Ato walked over to the Sealing Scroll and sat directly on the floor. Then he grabbed the roasted meat with both hands and began devouring it heartily.
It was not until half an hour later that Ato finally let out a satisfied burp.
Around him, stacks of plates had already reached the ceiling.
"Are all Saiyans such huge eaters?"
Kushina was left dumbfounded by a Saiyan's appetite.
Looking at Ato's still-flat stomach, Kushina's eyes were filled with envy.
"Get to work, Shadow Clones."
Looking at the mess in the living room, Kushina clapped her hands and gave the Shadow Clones their orders.
The dozens of Shadow Clones glanced at Kushina, then diligently began cleaning up the living room.
One minute later, the entire living room looked brand new.
Ato gave Kushina a satisfied look.
Who said Kushina was careless?
Wasn't she quite considerate?
"Kushina, teach me the Chakra Extraction Technique now."
Ato walked up to Kushina and spoke in a deep voice.
"The Chakra Extraction Technique?"
Kushina froze for a moment. She had never expected Ato to ask to learn the Ninja World's Chakra Extraction Technique.
It was not because the Chakra Extraction Technique was advanced.
Rather, it was because the Chakra Extraction Technique was too ordinary.
The Chakra Extraction Technique was the foundation of foundations for Ninja. Even Ninja Academy students only a few years old could easily master it.
"Is there a problem?" Ato frowned slightly, and his tone turned cold.
"No problem." Kushina put away her surprise and began teaching Ato the Chakra Extraction Technique.
The Chakra Extraction Technique was indeed very simple.
It took Ato only five minutes to fully grasp how to control the trillions of cells in his body and blend their energy with his spiritual power to form chakra.
The Chakra Extraction Technique had no fixed method for extracting chakra.
Whether through hand seals, sitting cross-legged, or any other posture.
As long as physical energy and spiritual energy could be combined, chakra had been extracted.
So Ato abandoned the common Ninja method of sitting cross-legged.
Instead, he assumed the Dragon Ball World's most classic power-up stance.
He clenched both fists and slightly curled his body as he gathered strength.
Of course, Ato did not make a sound.
His consciousness sank into his body as he began guiding the energy within his trillions of cells and his spiritual power to combine at a one-to-one ratio.
Boom!
Within Ato's lower abdomen, a ball of life energy like a flame suddenly appeared.
Then all the energy from his trillions of ordinary cells, along with his spiritual power, rapidly poured into that flame-like life energy like fuel.
Boom!
That life energy swelled at an astonishing speed in an instant before immediately covering Ato's entire body.
Violent energy erupted from Ato's body, forming a golden cloak of energy.
Rumble.
As the energy within Ato erupted, the entire room began to shake.
The living room floor and walls began to collapse and crack apart.
"Haaah!"
Ato exerted himself once more with his eyes, and the energy within his body surged explosively.
The violent golden energy cloak expanded rapidly, becoming almost tangible.
Purple lightning flashed around Ato like electric serpents.
Ato could now be completely certain that the Ninja World's chakra was the same as the ki in the Dragon Ball World's Power Level System.
The reason the Ninja World's Ninja performed so poorly—
Was because the Ninja here did not actively improve their physical strength and spiritual power, instead focusing on developing the various attributes of life energy.
Chakra itself was the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy.
Yet the Ninja here did not consciously train their bodies and minds to continuously break through their limits.
Instead, they were obsessed with ninjutsu, repeatedly releasing what little life energy they possessed, overdrawing their potential, consuming their lives, and ultimately ruining their bodies.
If even one person had consciously trained their body and continuously pushed it beyond its limits, Ninja combat power would not be so pathetic.
The Dragon Ball World's ki, however, emphasized constantly breaking through one's physical limits to strengthen one's life energy, which in turn nourished the body.
This formed a virtuous cycle—constant breakthroughs, constant growth, and ever-growing ki.
"Is this power?"
Feeling the enormous energy within his body, Ato threw back his head and laughed wildly.
He now desperately wanted to test his combat power.
So he flew directly out through the window. After pausing briefly in midair, he shot toward the Forest of Death.
Boom!
A golden trail of energy continuously rippled through the skies above Konoha.
