Another ten days flew by. Hatake Ziyan had now spent twenty days in that place without coming out, and the White Snake Sage decided she had better go take a look!
The White Snake Sage wasted no time. Her figure vanished as she raced toward Hatake Ziyan!
But the closer she got to Hatake Ziyan, the more uneasy she felt!
When the White Snake Sage came within a hundred meters of Hatake Ziyan, her mouth fell open in shock at the vortex of mist ahead, dozens of meters across!
Others absorbed natural energy into their bodies a little at a time, terrified that one careless mistake would turn them to stone. Even the old sages of the three sacred lands, who had no need to fear harm from absorbing natural energy, absorbed it slowly. They would never dare take it in like this!
With natural energy pouring in at this rate, neither she nor the old toad could withstand it. Even old Katsuyu, who excelled at healing, would not be able to endure such an influx!
But what happened next finally showed the White Snake Sage why she had been growing increasingly uneasy ever since Hatake Ziyan entered this place!
The vortex of natural energy created by Hatake Ziyan's training was actually expanding, little by little.
To determine how quickly the energy vortex was growing, the White Snake Sage stayed there and observed it for an entire day.
The longer she watched, the more alarmed she became. The energy vortex was expanding faster and faster. It had also begun to rotate slowly, and its rotation was accelerating too!
No members of her clan lived nearby, so there was no need to interrupt Hatake Ziyan's training just yet. The White Snake Sage estimated that this area extended roughly half a kilometer
