All things had their own trials. Cultivation itself defied the heavens; the higher one's cultivation, the more trials one faced. For those with profound cultivation, the most terrifying things were not enemies, but their own Heart Demons and Heavenly Tribulations.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi could sense that this Heavenly Tribulation was not as terrifying as he had imagined. Perhaps it was because this was this world's first Heavenly Tribulation, and it was still somewhat immature.
Bolts of lightning struck down one after another, but the damage they caused was truly limited. Perhaps this world was merely expressing its anger at Hiruzen Sarutobi for stealing its laws, yet was powerless to stop him, while also feeling a trace of delight.
This puzzled Hiruzen Sarutobi somewhat. It seemed that Devil Fruits were not naturally occurring treasures of this world.
Were they somewhat similar to the Divine Tree of the Naruto World? Only, they were stealing the power of the world's laws?
It seemed there were still many hidden truths surrounding Devil Fruits, the Celestial Dragons, and Imu.
The Heavenly Tribulation came quickly and departed quickly. After all, it was only a Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation and could not possibly last long.

"Teacher, what was that?"
"My cultivation broke through and attracted a Heavenly Tribulation. It was nothing."
If this had been the Naruto World, it definitely would not have attracted a Heavenly Tribulation.
If Heavenly Tribulations existed in the Naruto World, the Ōtsutsuki would have been struck countless times.
