"Just that?" Tsunade looked surprised.
This little apprentice who usually seemed so clever was actually troubled by such a boring question.
"Yeah!" Yizhe nodded.
"I remember when I was little, I heard my grandfather say that the Sage of Six Paths created the world, ended wars, divided the continent, and passed down the teachings of the Ninja Sect!"

He knew perfectly well that powerful ninjutsu could indeed alter terrain and weather in a short period of time.
