Chapter 417: Activated Chakra
"Sakura:
"All is well, don't worry.
"A few days ago, when Pervy Sage and I were traveling in the Land of Bears, we met an auntie who claimed to be a Star Ninja. She recognized Pervy Sage's identity and wanted to beg him for a favor...
"Anyway, I defeated Akahoshi and changed Hoshigakure, but I don't know if what I did was right. Although Teacher Jiraiya comforted me saying that it was Hoshigakure's own choice, and perhaps without the Star meteorite, Hoshigakure would develop better, I'm still a little uneasy...
"Now I somewhat understand what you meant by matching ability with responsibility. Because the greater the ability, the more one can change things. If this were Konoha, I would definitely be more cautious.
"Natsuhi said there are thousands of meteorites in Hoshigakure. I sealed one of them in a scroll and sent it back to you. They said the meteorite is radioactive, so be careful when opening it. This time it's different from the stones I sent you before. I can feel the power of the meteorite; it should be exactly what you've always wanted. I hope it's not a false hope.
"There are words I clearly thought of in my head, but forgot once I started writing. Rambling so much, incoherently, I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
"I miss you guys so much, miss the times we went to eat Ichiraku Ramen together. The hardest part of traveling and training outside is not being able to eat Ichiraku Ramen. Uncle Jiraiya said my training is progressing well. If everything goes smoothly, I might return to Konoha at the end of this year or early next year.
"By the way, don't let Sasuke see the content of the last page! Please, Sakura!
"Best wishes.
"Naruto."
Haruno Sakura closed the letter paper, an uncontrollable faint smile on her face.
"So you haven't just grown muscles..."
She carefully folded the letter and put it into her inner pocket, calmed herself down, and then picked up the scroll at hand.
According to Naruto's letter, this powerful sealing scroll stored a "radioactive" stone.
Radioactive...
The ninja lady narrowed her emerald eyes, not rushing to unfold it. Instead, she patiently and thoroughly examined this precious scroll, as if looking through the scroll to see the meteorite hidden in the sealing formula.
Haruno Sakura had been searching for radioactive ore in this world for a very, very long time. Not getting any effective news for so many years, she even once suspected that her Yang God Mode would die in the embryonic stage.
The concept of radioactive elements had long been mentioned by people in this world.
Although the people of the Naruto world are backward, they are not stupid. They don't know what an atomic nucleus is or what radioactive decay is, but they know that some ores contain huge energy and will constantly emit that invisible energy. Those dangerous energies can make humans inexplicably weak, sick, and even die, but they can also activate chakra, greatly increasing a ninja's strength—just like Hoshigakure. This kind of ore is called "radioactive" ore.
Naturally, such good stuff was put into war and then used up.
Before the establishment of the current Five Great Nations, the ninja world experienced a Warring States Period lasting hundreds of years. Chaos and slaughter were the themes of the continent at that time. Thus, non-renewable resources with war potential were exhausted in that long dark era, which is very normal.
Whether it was the internal Uchiha documents found in Sasuke's house or the secret texts in the Konoha database, this matter was mentioned.
Of course, Haruno Sakura did not completely lose hope. First, some countries or clans might still preserve a batch of ores as war reserves; second, human activity areas in the Naruto world do not cover the entire planet. In the wild regions far from the civilized world, in the dark underground far from sunlight, there must still be a large amount of unmined resources waiting to be discovered.
However, in this way, searching for uranium ore became a time-consuming task. She could only take it slowly or rely on luck; so since discovering that radioactive materials could not be found in a short time, Haruno Sakura temporarily extinguished her desire to develop Yang God Mode and stopped being anxious about it.
Unexpectedly, flowers intentionally planted do not bloom, but willows unintentionally planted grow into shade.
The discovery of radioactive ore came unexpectedly.
To be honest, Haruno Sakura was a little moved. Even she herself had almost given up, but Naruto had always kept her small request in mind.
The girl's heart was filled with emotions.
Thinking of Tsunade reminding her to take protective measures, Sakura took out a lead box made a long time ago, solemnly opened the scroll, and carefully put the Star meteorite into the box.
The Star meteorite was different from the pitch-black meteorite with pores she imagined. It was a shiny square crystal, orange-yellow and translucent, looking quite beautiful.
"It should have been processed a second time, not its original appearance... Was uranium purified using some ninjutsu?" Haruno Sakura recalled knowledge about meteorites in her mind while muttering to herself. Meteorites on Earth are mostly composed of silicates or iron-nickel alloys. Meteorites rich in radioactive elements like uranium are quite rare, so either Sakura was lucky, or the astronomical environment of this world is different from her previous life.
She didn't delve into this issue but focused her attention on the meteorite. Through a layer of lead plate, the girl seemed to feel a faint warmth on her skin; Haruno Sakura carefully reached in, close to the meteorite, and the chakra on her hand immediately reacted.
The calm chakra suddenly boiled, becoming extremely active like boiling water.
"Is this the so-called chakra activation?"
Sakura frowned slightly.
She keenly felt that this chakra was too active, even a bit restless. With her unparalleled chakra control, she actually couldn't make it completely calm down!
In other words, even if forcibly calmed on the surface, the chakra inside was still constantly jumping minutely, ready for the next boiling.
The girl continued to sense this abnormal chakra, pondering.
"Too excited, there's an urge to vent it out no matter what. And..."
And, the activated chakra didn't just become more active. The "energy" contained in it seemed to increase—an awkward way to put it, chakra itself is a kind of energy. It should be said that it absorbed and fused external energy, improving its own "quality."
Just as Senjutsu Chakra is a high-level chakra formed by ordinary chakra plus natural energy, chakra that absorbed fission energy became highly active with more energy, also forming a new high-level chakra.
Perhaps it could be called Star Chakra?
Anyway, if using this chakra, the power of ninjutsu would be greatly increased, right? Just like Senjutsu. Theoretically, the power of Star Chakra shouldn't be much worse than Senjutsu Chakra, maybe even surpassing it!
Haruno Sakura thought silently.
She was in a good mood, seeming to see her future self developing the Yang God Mode, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling up, revealing a sweet smile.
However, our protagonist lady quickly restrained herself: "Calm down, calm down, nothing is set in stone yet."
As her strongest trump card, Yang God Mode should completely surpass all ninjutsu in this world!
What Star Chakra, Senjutsu Chakra, what radiation energy, fission energy, natural energy, she looked down on them all; the infinite energy of fusion was the goal of Yang God Mode!
Moreover, Star Chakra was currently just a noun existing in her brain. Passively absorbing radiation energy probably couldn't live up to such a high-end name as Star Chakra; the activated chakra used by Star Ninja was indeed more powerful than ordinary chakra, but it also had side effects of difficult manipulation and great harm to the body, so it could only be called an incomplete version, degraded version, or low-level version of Star Chakra...
So before the official development of Yang God Mode, there was still a lot of preparatory work to be done...
The road is still long.
