NOVEL NEXT Chapter 152: The River of Chakra!
Chapter 152: The River of Chakra!
Next came the reward for the village ranked fourth on the Ninja Village List.
This time, the reward belonged to the Hidden Mist Village, so Terumi Mei was quite excited.
Soon, a reward item appeared on the screen.
The reward item turned out to be a river.
[River of Chakra: Spanning 300 meters, anyone who enters the River of Chakra can rapidly restore their chakra. It also aids in chakra cultivation and allows for the extraction of chakra water, which retains its properties for up to ten days before dissipating. Note: Even if depleted, the River of Chakra will slowly regenerate.]
[Fourth Raikage: A whole river of chakra! How much chakra energy must that hold?!]
[Hashirama Senju: If someone could absorb all the chakra from that river into their own body, just how terrifying would their chakra become? How powerful would they be?!]
[Third Tsuchikage: The River of Chakra is indeed impressive. It's a shame the chakra water can only last for ten days. If it could be preserved indefinitely, it could even be sold.]
[Terumi Mei: If the chakra water could be stored permanently and the river could regenerate, wouldn't that mean infinite chakra? Eventually, wouldn't the world overflow with chakra? Obviously, that's impossible. I think this River of Chakra is already great. I'm very satisfied!]
[Tsunade: Even if the chakra water only lasts ten days, it's still terrifying. In a war, the Hidden Mist's ninja would essentially have an endless supply of chakra, allowing them to fight without end. That's terrifying enough!]
[Third Hokage: The River of Chakra indeed has many uses, and it can also aid in training. The only problem is that many ninja will likely try to steal the chakra water. At 300 meters long, the Hidden Mist Village would need to station many ninja to guard it. Otherwise, a lot of the chakra water might be stolen!]
[Terumi Mei: Stealing it would be pointless. The chakra water only lasts for ten days; only the water in the river can be stored permanently.]
[Gaara: If the Hidden Mist Village is fourth and received such a rich reward, our reward for the Hidden Sand Village should be just as good!]

In the Hidden Mist Village, the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, gathered the high-ranking members of the village at an open field.
They were preparing to summon the River of Chakra.
"Extract!"
"Extract!"
"Extract!"
The River of Chakra seemed to materialize out of nothing, merging directly into the ground.
Boom!
The earth cracked, gradually forming a flowing river.
At that moment, Ao activated his Byakugan and gazed at the River of Chakra.
Boom!
An unimaginable amount of chakra energy appeared within his field of vision.
"It's all chakra condensed to the extreme!" Ao exclaimed in shock.
Terumi Mei then filled a cup with some of the chakra water and drank it down. Immediately, chakra surged through her body.
However, since she hadn't used any chakra beforehand, she didn't feel much of an effect.
"Use some chakra and test the effect of the chakra water!"
Terumi Mei ordered.
Immediately, a Chunin began casting various jutsu, quickly depleting his chakra.
Afterward, he drank the chakra water, and his chakra began to recover at an astonishing speed.
In less than a minute, all of his chakra had been fully restored.
Next, the Jonin took their turn to test it.
Before long, the results were clear.
"Mizukage-sama, when a Chunin exhausts their chakra, it takes only one minute to fully recover. For a Jonin, it takes three minutes, and for someone at the Kage level, it takes ten minutes."
The ninja reported.
"Such a fast recovery speed!"
Terumi Mei was stunned.
After all, once a ninja's chakra is depleted, they become extremely weak, and recovering usually takes a long time.
But now, it only took one to ten minutes to fully restore one's chakra, and with that, their physical strength would also be restored.
In a war, this meant that one ninja could effectively fight as if they were multiple ninja, endlessly returning to battle!
"Hahaha, this is fantastic! With the River of Chakra, who would dare provoke the Hidden Mist Village!"
Terumi Mei exclaimed excitedly.

Not long after, the reward for the village ranked fifth on the Ninja Village List appeared.
On the screen, the reward item turned out to be an enormous tree.
[Giant Tree of Wind: This tree produces thousands of wind leaves, which are categorized into two types: Green Leaves and Golden Leaves. Green Leaves temporarily enhance speed and the power of Wind Release Blade Techniques. Golden Leaves grant permanent golden wings, allowing for flight and permanently enhancing Wind Release jutsu. Note: Wind Leaves will regenerate, but their effectiveness will diminish over time, eventually becoming ordinary leaves.]
[Fourth Raikage: That's an impressive reward! It directly strengthens the village's power. With the Giant Tree of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village's strength will increase rapidly, potentially surpassing the Hidden Mist Village!]
[Terumi Mei: This reward is indeed great, but Golden Leaves are rare, and while Green Leaves are abundant, they are consumables. Once used up, the newly grown Wind Leaves will be average, so it's ultimately a consumable resource, unlike our River of Chakra, which is almost inexhaustible.]
[Gaara: The Giant Tree of Wind is already amazing. I'm very satisfied!]
In the Hidden Sand Village, Gaara gathered the top officials of the village.
They began extracting the Giant Tree of Wind.
Boom!
The Giant Tree of Wind took root in the Hidden Sand Village, with its Green Leaves fluttering in the wind. The tree bore 36 Golden Leaves.
Everyone coveted the Golden Leaves, as they granted permanent enhancements, while the Green Leaves only provided temporary boosts.
"Temari, you try one of the Golden Leaves!"
Gaara said.
He didn't need a Golden Leaf, as he wasn't skilled in Wind Release jutsu and could already fly. Using one would be a waste.
Gaara personally plucked a Golden Leaf and handed it to his sister, Temari.
Without hesitation, Temari swallowed the Golden Leaf.
In an instant, golden light enveloped her, and soon, the transformation was complete.
With a thought, golden wings sprouted from Temari's back.
Whoosh!
She controlled the wings and soared into the sky, moving at incredible speed.
Then, Temari unleashed various Wind Release jutsu, all of which had their power significantly enhanced.
"The Golden Leaf is quite impressive!" Gaara praised.
Afterward, they tested the effects of the Green Leaves. Though not as powerful as the Golden Leaves, they still provided a considerable boost in strength.
Gaara then ordered that the area around the tree be heavily guarded. Even the Green Leaves couldn't be taken lightly; only ninja with special qualifications, who were sent on critical missions, would be allowed to use them.
As for the Golden Leaves, only those who had made significant contributions to the village would be eligible to use them.
Before long, the reward for the village ranked sixth on the Ninja Village List appeared.
