Chapter 474: Cultivating the Divine Tree

Kaguya's Core Dimension.

Shishou planted the Divine Tree in Kaguya's floating palace garden and sealed it with a Four Red Yang Formation to prevent it from secretly absorbing the natural energy of the Core Dimension when he was away.

Although the Divine Tree could quickly grow and bear fruit by absorbing natural energy,

a naturally energy-rich environment could also nurture numerous senjutsu animals, ensuring the sustainable development of the ecosystem in the Core Dimension, providing him with a continuous supply of chakra.

Therefore, Shishou naturally wouldn't do something as short-sighted as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Moreover, this is his senjutsu cultivation paradise and cannot be ruined by the Divine Tree.

Additionally, as long as the Core Dimension with its abundant natural energy exists, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking senjutsu energy when leading Tsunade and the others to counterattack the Otsutsuki clan's home planet.

Senjutsu would truly come into play.

After settling the Divine Tree, Shishou began wandering around the Core Dimension.

In the Core Dimension, animals with vast amounts of natural energy and chakra were everywhere, and even the White Zetsu he left behind had considerable chakra.

Furthermore, Shishou saw a tiger shoot a chakra ball from its mouth to attack a white-tailed deer, hunting it down.

This scene surprised Shishou.

Thinking it over, Shishou summoned the Great Slug Sage.

Due to the connection between the Great Slug Sage and himself, this cross-dimensional summoning didn't consume much of Shishou's chakra.

"Such dense senjutsu energy!"

The beautiful Great Slug Sage was astonished upon her arrival.

Seeing her reaction, Shishou voiced his curiosity.

"Little Slug, why has the senjutsu energy in this dimension become increasingly dense?"

Shishou then recounted everything he had done in the Core Dimension.

After hearing Shishou's explanation, the Great Slug Sage explained:

"This is due to the White Zetsu teaching these animals to refine chakra."

"Senjutsu chakra is refined from natural energy and chakra, which in turn is derived from physical and spiritual energy, and physical energy is obtained from the animals' food."

"These animals now have senjutsu chakra and corresponding usage methods, returning the senjutsu energy to nature, thus increasing the natural senjutsu energy over time."

"After a thousand years of development, the senjutsu energy in this dimension naturally became denser."

Understanding the explanation, Shishou realized.

So these animals converted the energy from the plants they ate into chakra, directly increasing the senjutsu energy in the air.

The Great Slug Sage continued, "I want to cultivate here in the future."

The senjutsu energy here was already much higher than in the Shikkotsu Forest, making the Great Slug Sage reluctant to leave.

Shishou nodded and smiled, "Of course. Pick a spot. I plan to bring Tsunade and the others here to cultivate senjutsu as well."

"Indeed, this place is more suitable for Tsunade and the others. This way, you won't have to worry about them fighting over resources," the Great Slug Sage teased.

Shishou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not them I'm worried about, but rather Kaguya, the owner of this dimension."

The Great Slug Sage laughed, "You should be careful not to release her too soon."

Shishou not only planned to exploit Kaguya's chakra resources but also bring other women into her backyard. Kaguya would surely be angry if she found out.

If Shishou and Kaguya ended up fighting over this, it would certainly be interesting.

Seeing the Great Slug Sage's gloating expression, Shishou said helplessly, "You'll have to help me then."

"I can't beat her."

Leaving these words, the Great Slug Sage flew into Kaguya's floating palace.

Retracting his gaze from the Great Slug Sage's ample figure, Shishou looked at the senjutsu animals below.

"It's time to harvest some chakra."

With this thought, Shishou created thousands of shadow clones and began absorbing the animals' chakra with the Ghost ability.

Of course, for sustainable development, Shishou only absorbed half of the animals' chakra.

However, the animal population on Kaguya's ecological planet was massive, numbering in the billions.

Even absorbing only half, the amount of chakra collected was more than Shishou could handle, so he had to channel it back into the Divine Tree.

With the Divine Tree nourished by this chakra, it grew even faster.

Meanwhile, Shishou also used his special ability, Amenominaka, to accelerate the Divine Tree's growth using the harvested chakra.

After a month of relentless harvesting by his clones, Shishou finally collected all the chakra from the animals in the Core Dimension.

With such vast amounts of chakra and Shishou's accelerated growth ability, the Divine Tree's growth rate was astonishing.

This rapid growth excited the Divine Tree, greatly improving its favor toward Shishou.

Based on the Divine Tree's feedback, Shishou estimated that it would take only a few decades to harvest a chakra fruit, and with more energy, the time could be shortened further.

Reducing the Divine Tree's thousand-year fruiting cycle to a few decades.

Shishou's Amenominaka ability began to show its terrifying potential in controlling the growth of all things, and once he achieved Kaguya's level of power, his abilities would undergo another qualitative change.

If the Otsutsuki clan learned of this, they would go mad, rushing to the Shinobi World to seize his eyes and this power at all costs.

After harvesting the chakra from the Core Dimension, Shishou gathered all the White Zetsu and had them multiply until their numbers reached tens of thousands.

Then, Shishou issued new orders to all the White Zetsu.

This time, Shishou instructed them to collect chakra from the animals regularly while continuing to modify the environment, providing it to the Divine Tree.

This way, he wouldn't have to frequently visit the Core Dimension, saving considerable chakra consumed by using Kamui for space travel.

With the Great Slug Sage overseeing, Shishou had no worries about any mishaps.

He left the Great Slug Sage with several scrolls sealed with his shadow clones, instructing her to contact him through the clones if any issues arose or if she wanted to return.

Having done all this, Shishou used Kamui to open a space passage and returned to the moon in the Shinobi World.

Stretching lazily, Shishou, tired after a busy month, headed to Hogen City to relax with Mikoto and the others.

This past month had exhausted him.

Now it was time to enjoy some leisure.
