"Development has reached 82%?"
Takemi felt a surge of emotion as he looked at his status panel. After so many years of effort, he was finally getting closer to fully unlocking the power of his bloodline.
Recalling the 'sweat and effort' of these years, he felt that all of this was his deserved reward.
Although 'sweat and effort' often appeared on others' faces, at least he put in the effort.
"This time's improvement, aside from the tremendous physical changes, also seems to have given me a new perspective on this world."
Shaking his head, Takemi began to carefully observe the changes within himself.
"My control over Chakra has become much easier with the fusion of the Kekkei Genkais within my body, and furthermore…"
He slightly raised his head, his eyes shimmering. Now he could see the spatial nodes more clearly.
"Did Urashiki's talent play a role?"
Takemi pondered, as it wasn't just his spatial talent that had changed.
Even his control over the power of time had significantly changed, a change consistent with his previous advancements, and even stronger.
"If that's truly the case, then Urashiki's value has increased…"
For some reason, the first phrase that came to his mind was—sustainable and exhaustive.
Urashiki was simply a treasure. His energy could boost Takemi, his ocular techniques allowed Takemi to progress, and his body could even be used to grow trees.
"What a treasure."
In fact, it wasn't just Urashiki, almost all Ōtsutsuki had similar effects. Of course, too much wasn't good either. Takemi was afraid of things going awry.
"These few are enough for now, but speaking of growing trees…"
He lowered his head and looked at the towering giant tree at his feet. He noticed that it seemed to have entered the same state as when he had previously nourished it with Kaguya's Chakra.
"Only this time, the situation is a bit different…"
The convergence of the nine Tailed Beasts' Chakra finally allowed his God tree to gather all types of Chakra it needed. But the key was that these powers needed to be re-integrated and simultaneously fill the entire God tree and his God tree was simply too large.
"Kaguya's Chakra, Isshiki's Chakra, these two powers nurturing it together already made my God tree ridiculously large…"
Coupled with the fact that he was collecting Chakra, not the Tailed Beasts themselves, and the God tree also had to continuously provide him with energy to complete his 'evolution'.
"This is causing my God tree to be somewhat underdeveloped? But the problem isn't too big."
Takemi no longer paid too much attention to his God tree. This problem was actually not difficult to solve, he just needed to cut off the God tree's energy supply to him.
It wouldn't take long for this God tree to complete its self-transformation, and this wouldn't affect Takemi much.
Receiving Urashiki's energy, as well as Isshiki's White Karma energy, had allowed his development to reach 82%.
He didn't lack the God tree's energy now, he could completely wait for his God tree.
"This way, I can use Urashiki's corpse to grow trees, and the God tree's current transformation also gives me time."
Takemi had always wondered if an Ōtsutsuki's corpse, especially one that had used Karma, could be used to grow a God tree.
And there was only one person in the entire Ninja World with practical experience in this. And Takemi had long wanted to meet that person, he also wanted to see that person's attitude.
"Perfect, now is the time to clear up all these issues, so…"
"Let's go meet this Rabbit Goddess."
Several days later, in the Hokage Office.
"I didn't expect such a big event to happen this time."
Konoha's new and old high-ranking officials gathered here for a meeting, and Hiruzen couldn't help but rub his temples after hearing the narration.
"If it weren't for Takemi and you, sensei, acting together, I'm afraid the Akatsuki would have succeeded."
"Kirigakure's defenses were actually quite good, but those guys from the Akatsuki are no joke." Tobirama shook his head.
Hashirama sighed with emotion and said, "Especially the battle between the two Ōtsutsuki. It's fortunate that Takeshiki firmly suppressed the other one, otherwise the Land of Water would probably have been sunk."
"Hey, why do you sound like you're grateful to that Takeshiki?" Tobirama frowned.
Hashirama spread his hands amd said, "You know the destruction I caused when Madara and I fought. If Takeshiki hadn't ended it so quickly, that would have been a disaster."
"I think instead of talking about this, we should think about what happens a month from now." Takemi saw the two brothers starting to butt heads again and couldn't help but interrupt them.
"The Kage Summit is in a month. It's confirmed that Iwagakure and Kirigakure will come to Konoha. As the hosts, we need to be prepared."
With the mission concluded, Mei, representing Kirigakure, clearly expressed that they would participate in this Kage Summit.
And a month's time was enough for them to carefully select their team and deal with matters within the Land of Water.
Although both the Land of Earth and the Land of Water were incredibly battered due to the battle's repercussions, the Land of Earth's misfortune primarily fell upon Iwagakure. Their entire village was devastated, and if it weren't for their many earth release users, they wouldn't have rebuilt so quickly.
However, their personnel losses were significant, and now it's more about post-disaster relief.
As for the Land of Water, Kirigakure itself had no major issues, but many of their areas had their terrain completely deformed by the fighting.
Their dispersion greatly increased the difficulty of their rescue efforts, and coupled with their lack of earth release users, this made things even more troublesome for them.
They also needed this month to stabilize the situation within the Land of Water, and this month also gave Konoha a chance to prepare.
"Although there's no news from Sunagakure yet, with Iwagakure and Kirigakure coming, we need to be prepared, right?"
Takemi stroked his chin and spoke. This statement received unanimous approval from Jiraiya and Kakashi.
"Indeed, this time we can't let it turn into another Chunin Exams."
"And we also need to choose a good location, it can't be held in Konoha."
Koharu and Homura, who were essentially retired, heard this discussion and couldn't help but exchange glances before speaking.
"Since it's an alliance, we must show enough respect, and I think this month's time should also allow the Fifth Hokage to prepare."
