Chapter 12: Ambitious Aspirations!
Chapter 12: Ambitious Aspirations!
Quack!!
Taichi's cries echoed through the underground training ground.
If the absorption had been gradual, it wouldn't have hurt.
But compressing a long process into a short time was pure agony.
Touhei, who had experienced this before, was well aware of the pain.
However, he couldn't focus on his own distress for his summon. Instead, he carefully observed the situation, ready to intervene if anything went wrong.
Fortunately, the ordeal was brief, and Taichi soon calmed down.
If Touhei could endure it, there was no reason Taichi couldn't.
Once he confirmed that Taichi was recovering and in no immediate danger, Touhei dismissed the summon to return to its nest in the Forest of Death.
The nest was in the Forest of Death, a place Touhei had personally chosen for his summon. Since Taichi had no ancestral home, it had to build its own nest, and the forest was the perfect location.
However, now that Taichi's identity as a summon was known, they might need to relocate the nest.
It was too close to Konoha!
If someone discovered their trail, it could spell trouble.
"Next...!"
Touhei looked at the last vial of Natural Power Elixir in his hand.
He couldn't extract a third vial in such a short time without damaging the mulberry tree's roots.
Carefully recalling Taichi's reaction to the injection, he ensured everything was in order before administering the elixir to himself.
In the world of shinobi, scientific research could be summed up in one phrase:
Brute force yields miracles!
Just go for it.
In the world he came from, a new drug would undergo countless trials and observations, taking years, sometimes even decades.
But Touhei just created it and used it immediately, demonstrating his bold approach.
This was possible because of chakra, a supernatural energy.
Chakra's effects were all-encompassing, from extending life and preserving the soul to enhancing physical strength.
Shinobi who mastered this energy were like "little supermen," so they didn't need to be overly cautious.
Being too careful might actually hinder progress.
Like Orochimaru in the future, who conducted countless experiments using human lives, leading to significant breakthroughs and ultimately his betrayal of the village.
Touhei had adapted to this style of research.
Otherwise, with the limited time he had since his arrival, he would have accomplished nothing.
As the Natural Power Elixir entered his body, the cold liquid brought an intense, burning sensation.
"Ah..."
Despite his mental preparation, Touhei still screamed in agony.
The pain was excruciating, far worse than the last time he injected it.
It felt like his entire body was being cooked from the inside out.
The intense heat spread through his bloodstream to every part of his body.
But Touhei wasn't panicked; instead, he felt a sense of excitement.
The stronger the burning sensation, the more effective the elixir.
He also detected chakra within his body.
With his body infused with chakra, his overall capabilities were enhanced.
At this moment, even if he were thrown several meters, he wouldn't die, only be injured.
By the time the burning sensation subsided, hours had passed.
"Looks like I need to find a way to reduce the pain. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it if the effects get any stronger!"
Touhei let out a sigh of relief, then left the laboratory.
Before leaving, he carefully locked the lab and moved the mulberry tree to the top of the two intertwined mulberry trees in his courtyard to bask in the sunlight.
Sunlight was an essential condition for the tree's evolution.
From this, one could see the extent of his ambitions.
The elements of the three-legged crow "Taichi," the mulberry tree that thrives in the sun and is unafraid of fire... didn't they evoke a familiar feeling?
Indeed!
It was the mythical legend from before he crossed over.
Tang Ping wanted to cultivate a 'Three-Legged Golden Crow' and a 'Fusang Tree.'
Back in his old world, this would have been an impossible dream.
But in the Shinobi World, where even the 'Otsutsuki Clan' could traverse the stars, anything was possible.
If aliens existed, what was impossible?
And indeed, it was true.
With Tang Ping's efforts, both the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Fusang Tree were beginning to exhibit the characteristics of their mythical counterparts.
If he could obtain something like a 'Divine Tree' or 'Hashirama Cells,' which were essential for advanced research in the Shinobi World, he would be even more confident in achieving his goal.
After setting up the future Fusang Tree, Tang Ping returned to his room, satisfied, to rest.
His body was still undergoing continuous transformation, but it no longer hindered his normal activities.
The next day!
When Tang Ping awoke, he felt as if his entire body was immersed in warm water, light and refreshed.
His chakra had surged, not quite reaching the level of a 'Kage,' but at least on par with a regular Chunin.
It was no small feat!
At this point, he might have reached the average level of the future Twelve Guardian Ninja (excluding a certain Sage of Words).
With this much chakra, he was no longer the weakest link in his team.
Especially with Taiyi, his summoning beast, he was the strongest among the three.
He donned tight black clothes and the bulky, unappealing forehead protector, checked his ninja tools, and then stepped out of the courtyard.
Turning back, the two intertwined giant mulberry trees at the top gave him a sense of 'dimness.'
Of course, upon closer inspection, there was nothing unusual.
This was because the mulberry tree he was cultivating was continuously absorbing sunlight, a capability he had extracted from a sunflower and injected into the tree.
It had to be said that, although he hadn't gained any system or deep blue points after crossing over, this body alone represented endless possibilities.
As he pondered these thoughts, he quickly made his way to the Hokage Tower.
In a few minutes, Tang Ping arrived at the Hokage Tower, which stood in front of the Hokage Monument.
The tower was shaped like an inverted bowl, with a large 'Fire' kanji hanging above it. The other members of Team 3 were already waiting at the entrance, waving at him.
"Let's go!"
Minato Namikaze had just arrived.
He wasn't the type to 'lose his way in life' or have poor time management; he was extremely punctual.
The Hokage Tower was bustling with activity.
Many teams were there to receive missions.
Newly graduated Genin, under the guidance of their team leaders, were also there to pick up missions.
Only Jonin who were assigned S-rank or secret missions needed to go to the second floor of the Hokage's office for personal approval from the Hokage.
In the future, Naruto would have to visit the Hokage even for a C-rank mission, a special privilege.
Not everyone could just waltz into the Hokage's office, after all.
One could say that the anime was full of dark and unsettling details.
Tang Ping clearly saw two ANBU guards standing at the staircase.
Missions and routine administrative tasks were handled on the first floor.
"Jonin Minato, here are your mission scrolls!"
A mission receptionist handed over several D-rank mission scrolls from behind the counter.
While regular Chunin could only take one mission at a time, Minato, being a Jonin and the team leader, could take several D-rank missions at once.
Jonin!
Their authority in the village was evident in every aspect.
"Let's go!"
After tucking the scrolls into his coat, Minato led the three of them out of the Hokage Tower to begin their missions.
