At this moment, under Uchiha Tenxiu's perception, his Chakra volume had doubled, while his physical strength, speed, and other attributes had all increased by about four times.
His five senses also received an epic enhancement, clearly demonstrating a Super Kage Level taijutsu performance.
Moreover, this Super Kage Level taijutsu ability was not a temporary state like the Eight Gates Release Formation, which cannot be sustained.
"With my taijutsu ability, every punch and kick I throw now is at the level of Might Dai in the Gate of Death, or even surpasses it.
At the very least, in terms of control, if I were to face the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist again, not a single one of them would escape!"
"Speaking of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the crafting of their weapons is also something to investigate.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan can condense indestructible weapons using Chakra, similar to Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki's Byakugan, which, according to the setting, inherited the armaments of his predecessors.
By simply inputting Chakra, he can create the weapons he needs.
From this perspective, the Ōtsutsuki family can not only refine pills but also refine artifacts.
Perhaps I can also use this to create some weapons for myself!"
"Ordinary weapons, as my strength increases, basically can't keep up with my pace and become useless junk!
Only Ōtsutsuki-level weapons can enhance my combat capabilities.
Even the Six Paths Sage created various Ninja tools.
Since I consider these people my future opponents, I cannot lose to them in these aspects!"
"In that case, I'll make a trip to a parallel world in the next few days!" Uchiha Tenxiu had already made up his mind to conduct a harvest in a parallel world.
After comforting Uchiha Chiri, Uchiha Tenxiu took her back to the Queen of LouLan's palace.
After Uchiha Tenxiu understood everything during the previous period, he also used the power of the heavenly dimension fragment to cleverly utilize the connection of the Dragon Veins, successfully transmitting the event of his arrival here and obtaining the Dragon Veins in a specific time period in the past, in the form of a prophecy to the Queen of LouLan, allowing her to contact Uchiha Chiri.
Among these prophecies, one version did not include him obtaining the Dragon Veins; the story developed with the Dragon Veins being destroyed by cruel wars, and merciless Ninja wantonly slaughtering.
Another version was the original story's progression, where the Dragon Veins were eventually sealed by Konoha Ninja, and LouLan became hostile with the Land of Wind.
After the oasis completely disappeared, the LouLan people became a nomadic tribe, wandering everywhere.
There was also a version where, one day several years later, LouLan's Dragon Veins were taken by Uchiha Tenxiu, but despite the Queen's firm refusal, he still took the Dragon Veins regardless, only giving the LouLan people a sum of money to let them migrate to a new place to struggle for survival.
However, the last version was the most ideal outcome: the Queen of LouLan voluntarily handed over the Dragon Veins to Uchiha Tenxiu, and from then on, they lived a carefree, happy, and fulfilling life, moving towards a bright future.
With such a comparison, Uchiha Tenxiu was confident that the Queen of LouLan would make the most correct choice.
Thus, Uchiha Tenxiu successfully made the Queen of LouLan's prophecy form a perfect loop.
Next, Uchiha Tenxiu had Xiao Longnv leave some shallow Dragon Vein power in the original Dragon Vein location to protect and sustain the land, and also arranged for scientists from Great Zhou to come here to gradually improve the surrounding environment of LouLan.
Pure technology alone was still somewhat lacking, but when combined with Ninjutsu, it yielded a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Within a few days, these talents who arrived in LouLan produced visible results.
"Through the development of a miraculous Earth Release Ninjutsu: Reverse Flow Technique, we can achieve an astonishing feat: transforming barren sand into fertile soil!
This technological breakthrough, given enough manpower, will bring unprecedented development opportunities to LouLan, transforming the entire desert environment into a dream super granary!" Shou Jiukui, the head of the joint scientific and Ninjutsu research team, discovered by Uchiha Tenxiu, said excitedly.
"Moreover, once the sand here is successfully converted into soil, we can start planting specialized plants for wind and sand protection.
These plants will not only resist the erosion of wind and sand but also gradually improve the quality of the land, bringing a positive impact on LouLan's ecological environment.
Even if we don't continue expanding the land in the future, it will no longer be eroded by wind and sand!"
"As time progresses, we can gradually expand LouLan's territory, turning this once barren desert into an oasis.
And in terms of water sources, we also have innovative solutions." Shou Jiukui whispered, "Besides your Majesty building a designated teleportation gate here to transport water from the original Great Zhou, we can also establish circular, glass-enclosed, sealed planting areas on the expanded land within LouLan itself!"
“These planting areas are filled with circular spray guns overhead, fully capable of various automated planting operations. Even more astonishing, even in harsh desert environments, these planting areas allow plants to experience normal year-round growth cycles, ensuring food self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the entire enclosed planting area is ingeniously designed. All water automatically collects on the roof above, returning to the internal water tank, neither lost nor evaporated. This allows for water recycling, greatly improving water resource utilization efficiency.”
This was Uchiha Tenxiu's attempt to replicate the farm technology of desert nations from his previous life, preventing water loss and recycling water resources, which he had them research. He hadn't expected such rapid results based on his descriptions.
“Although I provided descriptions, all the achievements within are from their own research. And, Shou, this surname—if I'm not mistaken, Shou Jiukui from Boruto's era in the future should be his descendant. It turns out I managed to poach him ahead of time!” Uchiha Tenxiu was very pleased as he looked at the eloquent researcher before him, a man who represented the coexistence of Ninjutsu and science.
Compared to his descendant, who could research artificial Mangekyo Sharingan and various scientific Ninja Tools.
His ancestor was also very impressive.
“Excellent, Manager Shou. I'll trouble you to remain in LouLan and oversee all affairs here. As for your reward, starting this year, the research funds and salary for the projects you apply for will all be doubled as a bonus!”
“When it comes to talent, our Great Zhou will absolutely not disappoint you. With five insurances and one housing fund, I guarantee you won't find such benefits anywhere else in the Ninja World!” Uchiha Tenxiu said with a smile, patting Shou Jiukui's excited shoulder.
“Yes, Great King, I will work even harder to serve Great Zhou from now on!” Shou Jiukui continued to pledge his loyalty.
“Mm!” With Uchiha Tenxiu's nod of assent, Shou Jiukui immediately took his subordinates to get busy.
Just then, Uchiha Tenxiu mused to himself, “It's time to leave!” He lightly stepped into a hidden chamber in LouLan.
Standing in the center of the chamber, Uchiha Tenxiu was about to use the mystical power of the heavenly dimension fragment, leveraging the special connection of the Dragon Veins, to travel to a parallel dimension. However, just as he was about to initiate this process, a figure appeared before him like a ghost—it was Uchiha Chiri!
Uchiha Chiri's sudden appearance startled Uchiha Tenxiu, but he quickly regained his composure. Uchiha Chiri looked resolute, her fists clenched tightly, even turning her delicate fists slightly red from the excessive force, and her normally fair face was flushed with excitement.
“Take me with you!” Uchiha Chiri said without hesitation, her tone firm and resolute.
“It will be dangerous!” Uchiha Tenxiu's gaze was like a torch, fixed on her, as he slowly spoke.
Uchiha Chiri did not flinch, meeting his gaze, she took a determined step forward and replied, “I have the ability to protect myself, you don't need to worry. Moreover, if you go alone, I will be very worried about your safety! With me there, no matter what situation we encounter, I can help!”
She had already made up her mind to go with Uchiha Tenxiu no matter what. Even if she had to use that ability, she would not hesitate; she had to change Uchiha Tenxiu's idea of going alone.
Uchiha Chiri knew the cost of that ability, but at this moment, she couldn't care less. In her heart, Uchiha Tenxiu's safety was far more important than anything else.
The development of this Jutsu was originally intended to prevent Uchiha Tenxiu from abandoning her at the behest of those two women. It could change a person's thoughts and make them accept reality. However, now, to prevent such a terrible thing from happening, Uchiha Chiri could only choose to use Genjutsu to influence Uchiha Tenxiu.
Although Uchiha Tenxiu had said that he could return even if he went to a parallel world, what if? What if he couldn't return? In such a situation, if two people went together, at least they could look out for each other.
Even if they couldn't return.
Uchiha Chiri wouldn't worry anymore.
At least, in that parallel world.
The two of them would still be together.
“Alright!” Looking at Zhili's determined gaze, Uchiha Tenxiu reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Immediately, he brought Uchiha Chiri into his Heavenly Dimension Space, and the next moment, activated the space-time travel.
In this real world.
Uchiha Tenxiu's figure instantly vanished.
...
Parallel Dimension.
“Yamato, from now on, you will lead Team 7, Uzumaki Naruto, Sakura Haruno, Sai, and others, to the LouLan ruins in the Land of Wind desert for investigation!”
In the Hokage Office.
The Fifth Generation Hokage, Tsunade, with a grim expression, looked at the assembled Team 7 and issued the mission from the Sand Ninja.
Although there had been several wars with the Sand Ninja, facing threats from other countries and the deterrence of the Akatsuki Organization, Konoha and the Sand Ninja still banded together as weaker parties.
“According to the alliance with the Sand Ninja, we must assist them in capturing the rogue Ninja Hyakuzu…”
“Hyakuzu intends to seize the power of the Dragon Veins slumbering beneath LouLan. Within the Dragon Veins, immense power is hidden, sealed by the Fourth Hokage's sealing Jutsu. You must desperately protect that sealing Jutsu…”
“Naruto, what are you doing!” Sakura Haruno punched Uzumaki Naruto on the head as he fiddled with his Chakra blade.
Outside the window.
The sky was overcast, with lightning and thunder.
Shadows obscured the Fourth Hokage's face, seemingly foreshadowing some dark scene about to unfold.
