Chapter 134: The Sage Art System and the Chakra System
On a vast ice field not far from Snow City.
Six ice walls, a hundred meters high and smooth as mirrors, stood erect, arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern encircling half of the ice lake.
After Uchiha Shisui inserted the Hexagonal Crystal into the keyhole of a matching size,
Click...
Accompanied by the sound of a mechanism operating, a burst of light suddenly erupted from the stone platform.
RUMBLE!!
The ground suddenly began to tremble, and plumes of steam rose from the ice and snow.
"The treasure of the Land of Snow! The most precious treasure of the Land of Snow is coming out!!"
Kazahana Dotō, his entire body bound, knelt to one side, watching everything before him with extreme excitement.
The treasure hidden by his brother, the priceless treasure he had dreamed of, the treasure that had almost become an obsession in his heart...
He could finally witness it with his own eyes!!
As the tremors gradually weakened, a wave of warmth began to spread outwards.
The ice on the towering ice walls, as well as the surrounding ice and snow, began to melt.
Finally, the six towering ice walls turned into six smooth metal mirror surfaces, and the surroundings also transformed into a bright spring landscape.
"How miraculous!"
Uchiha Izumi looked at everything around her and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "A small country actually possesses such man-made technology capable of changing the topography, a feat worthy of being called a miracle."
In the freezing ice field, an area full of life and warmth actually appeared.
Presumably, beneath these six ice walls, there must be some kind of artificial creation capable of producing geothermal heat, and the Hexagonal Crystal was the key to activating this creation.
And this unfathomable, television-like projection sequence...
Whether from the craftsmanship of its construction or the final effect, it could be described as uncanny workmanship.
Lord Master mysteriously sent them here; it seems he anticipated this long ago.
"Lord Master really has planned everything."
Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment, then said with some admiration: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would also mistake this incredible change for a miracle."
The inauguration ceremony is currently being held in Snow City.
When the subjects of the Land of Snow see this scene, will they not regard Kazahana Koyuki as a heaven-sent ruler?
However, it was clear that not everyone was as optimistic as them.
"The treasure... where is the treasure?"
Kazahana Dotō staggered to his feet, greedily scanning his surroundings.
But... there wasn't the slightest shadow of a treasure.
Kazahana Dotō came back to his senses, looking at Uchiha Izumi and Shisui with a ferocious, fierce expression: "What's going on?! The treasure, where's the treasure? Are you messing with me?!"
Just then.
"Isn't the treasure right before your eyes?"
A voice suddenly came from behind the three, attracting everyone's attention.
"Lord Master."
"Lord Master."
Seeing the familiar figure, Izumi and Shisui bowed slightly, greeting him very respectfully.
After this trip to the Land of Snow, their reverence for this Lord Master had deepened.
"What did you just say?"
Kazahana Dotō's face was twisted, his eyes bloodshot as he asked: "Where is the treasure?! Where the hell is my treasure?!"
"Didn't I already say?"
Facing his sharp questioning, Menma smiled and said: "This is the treasure of the Land of Snow. The spring of the Land of Snow."
"If I have to say it, the creation that can turn ice and snow into a spring landscape is the treasure you've dreamed of."
The treasure...
Is the creation that turns the Land of Snow into spring?
"What kind of joke..."
Looking at everything before him, Kazahana Dotō murmured in disbelief.
He killed his brother, pursued it for half his life, was deserted by all his followers, just for this so-called treasure.
And now, he was being told...
The treasure of the Land of Snow is this kind of inexplicable thing?!
"Pfft!!"
Overcome by a fit of rage, Kazahana Dotō's face instantly flushed red, and a mouthful of blood was violently spat out.
His widened eyes gradually lost focus, and he collapsed to the ground, filled with despair.
"I finally understand why Lord Brother was in such a hurry to bring me over."
Kazahana Koyuki, at the side, suddenly complained: "Lord Brother, you really are mischievous."
"Don't slander me."
Menma chuckled lightly, retorting: "He was the one who made the request himself. I'm just a charitable person who enjoys helping others fulfill their wishes."
"I didn't expect his tolerance to be so poor, to actually be angered to death so easily."
Asama Sandayū at the side surveyed the surroundings, his face filled with amazement.
"I never thought Lord Sōsetsu really left behind a treasure, and one that could bring spring to the Land of Snow at that."
With that, he couldn't hide his disappointment, sighing with regret: "Kazahana Dotō spoke with such certainty; I really thought Lord Sōsetsu had left behind some precious treasure."
"No, Sandayū."
Gazing at the image in the sky, a strange light flashed in Menma's eyes: "Whether for the Land of Snow, or for me and Crimson Moon, this device is an extremely precious treasure!"
"Kazahana Sōsetsu was truly a genius."
Even in this ninja world where chakra is the main theme, most scientific principles are still applicable.
After all, a real world is composed of one natural law after another.
Among them, naturally, is the First Law of Thermodynamics – the Law of Conservation of Energy.
And this thermal energy, which encompassed the entire Snow City, clearly didn't appear out of thin air, but was transformed from other energy.
As for what kind of energy...
Although Menma already had some guesses, he still used "Kagura Shingan" to survey the surroundings.
"As expected, this energy that's different from chakra..."
Menma narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the pleasant surprise in them.
In his perception,
An energy with powerful life force was rapidly rising all around.
The rapid growth of the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees was entirely thanks to the absorption of this energy.
Menma was just trying to guide that energy into his body when,
An extremely fierce sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart, making him stop his reckless, death-courting behavior.
"No, still can't do it."
His intuition was constantly warning him.
If he rashly absorbed this energy into his body without learning how to use it, he would surely die a miserable death.
It was very likely he would be assimilated by the natural energy.
Although, as a semi-scientific researcher, he should give rigorous scientific reasoning for various phenomena, supported by experimental phenomena and basic theory,
In Menma's view, intuition, this seemingly ethereal feeling, was also not generated from thin air.
"Intuition" is the result of the brain conducting a non-conscious, rapid calculation based on all collected information, including fragmented memories at the subconscious level.
If a person's life experience and knowledge reserves are sufficiently rich, then the accuracy of intuition will also be relatively higher.
What's more, Yin Release Power also has the effect of strengthening the brain.
Thinking this, Menma rubbed his chin, his brow slowly furrowing.
"According to known intelligence, besides the chakra system brought by the Ōtsutsuki clan, the ninja world also has a native Sage Art system that can utilize natural energy."
