Shun's figure suddenly appeared in the sky of the Nameless Planet.
Today's sky was graced by a scorching sun, its orange-red glow spilling onto the ground, warming the rocks.
The Planet's consciousness, its voice tinged with apology, echoed in the depths of his mind. "Master, you have finally returned. I failed to protect the plants you transplanted. Please punish me."
Hearing the voice of the Planet's consciousness, Shun frowned slightly.
The large areas of plants he had transplanted from the Ninja World had withered. The tall white birch trees were left with only bare branches, the vibrant ferns shriveled, and even the most drought-resistant cacti lay slumped on the ground, like a pile of lifeless dry grass.
With ample sunlight and suitable temperatures, it shouldn't have caused such widespread plant death.
Shun bent down and picked up a withered leaf. "It's alright, I'll investigate the cause myself."
His Six Tomoe Rinnegan lit up.
Cosmic Control!
He used his dojutsu to communicate with the planet's consciousness, and the entire planet's history replayed in his mind.
This planet, twice the size of the Ninja World, from the grasslands of the equator to the ice fields of the poles, from the dried riverbeds to the shallow waters, every detail of every inch of land was clearly fed back into his consciousness.
A moment later, he finally found the reason. "There is a sun here, but no moon. The circadian rhythm is chaotic, and there are no tides at all. Without the moon to regulate day-night cycles and tides, the plants' growth cycles are disrupted, naturally making survival impossible."
"It seems a moon must be created, but the Nameless Planet's mass is twice that of the Ninja World, so to maintain a stable ecosystem, the moon's mass and volume also need to be twice that of the Ninja World's." Shun murmured to himself, a plan forming in his mind.
Creating such a large moon would require an immense amount of Chakra.
(Note: The Ninja World's moon was created by the combined efforts of Hagoromo and Hamura.)
Even with his current strength, creating such a large moon would be quite difficult.
"Planet's consciousness, I shall give you a name. From now on, you shall be called Hiroto."
"As you command, master. Thank you for naming me."
"Hiroto, I need to use 30% of the planet's energy to create a satellite for you. Help me regulate the energy."
"Understood, master. I will arrange it immediately."
The planet's energy began to converge, and anomalies appeared in the sky, with constant lightning strikes.
Around Shun, increasingly dense golden light gathered. He leaped, his figure like a meteor, breaking through the planet's atmosphere and entering outer space.
In the dark Universe, countless meteorites floated under the sun's halo, varying in size and form.
He clapped his hands, and golden Chakra condensed in his palms.
Six Paths Chibaku Tensei!
Countless tiny meteorites and cosmic dust were drawn by a powerful gravitational pull, converging like fireflies towards the black sphere at the center. Some crashed onto the meteorite's surface, stirring up a shower of debris.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
The central meteorite continuously expanded under gravity, growing larger and larger in volume. The ice layer on its surface melted and then re-solidified, gradually forming a hard rock shell.
Only when the moon's diameter reached twice that of the Ninja World's moon did Shun stop injecting Chakra. He manipulated the moon, sending it flying towards the Nameless Planet.
When the moon entered the planet's orbit, a marvelous change suddenly occurred.
The previously erratic atmospheric circulation gradually stabilized, and the hot air currents became gentle.
Ripples began to appear on the sea surface, and waves of tides surged in the direction of gravity.
"Master! The satellite's orbit is stable. My tidal system has begun to operate, and the circadian rhythm has returned to normal."
Shun returned to the planet's surface, watching all of this, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Master, should I now restore the vitality of the plants? I have already prepared the soil's humidity and nutrients, ready to assist your Wood Release at any time."
Shun flew into the sky, clapped his hands.
Six Paths Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!
Hiroto immediately responded, injecting pure natural energy into the soil, spreading through the plants' root systems to their branches and leaves.
Green Chakra and natural energy intertwined, nourishing the withered plants like spring rain.
The shriveled pine trees quickly grew robust, tender green leaves sprouted from their buds, and even tiny pine flowers bloomed on the branches. The surrounding withered grass regained vitality, and the grassland gradually donned a verdant coat.
Overnight, the Nameless Planet once again burst with life.
Shun then transplanted a large number of plants from the Ninja World, planting them in different areas of the planet.
Hiroto actively adjusted the temperature and humidity in each area, allowing these foreign plants to quickly adapt, taking root and growing within just a few days, with peach trees even budding delicate pink flowers.
Hiroto's voice was tinged with reluctance. "Master, when will you come again next time? I will take good care of these plants, waiting for your return."
The oxygen content in the air noticeably increased. The surroundings were full of fresh plant aroma, and even the wind carried a faint floral scent.
Seeing such results, Shun smiled with satisfaction. "Hiroto, I will bring some people here, to let them witness your transformation."
After completing all of this, he dragged his exhausted body back to the Land of Water's royal palace.
Several days of continuous energy expenditure and precise control left him barely able to lift his arm.
He said, "Give the order. Tell Tsunade and Yukari to come and give me a massage."
A moment later, two beautiful figures quickly came forward to greet him.
Tsunade, wearing a white robe embroidered with gold trim, her yellow hair hastily pulled back, immediately furrowed her brow into a frown upon seeing Shun's pale face.
She reached out and placed her hand on his forehead. "How did you exhaust yourself like this? Your Chakra is over-depleted again, what exactly did you do?"
The warm touch from her palm, carrying Medical Chakra, slowly seeped into Shun's brow, alleviating his mental fatigue.
Yukari carried a basin of warm clear water, followed by a maid holding clean soft towels. She walked to her husband's side, and gently supported his arm.
She said in a soft voice, "You should rest well, I will help you wipe your body."
Tsunade's touch was a bit heavier than usual, precisely kneading away the sore knots in his muscles.
She chided him while massaging, "If you push yourself this hard again, I'll use Medical Ninjutsu to tie you to the bed and make you rest properly."
Though she spoke harsh words, the Chakra at her fingertips grew increasingly gentle, quietly repairing his strained muscle fibers.
Yukari, meanwhile, knelt on the other side of the soft couch, gently lifting his lower leg and placing it on her lap.
Shun closed his eyes, enjoying their meticulous care, his fatigue gradually replaced by warmth.
"You two have worked hard this time. Once I'm well-rested, I'll take you to see the Nameless Planet. It's twice as large as the Ninja World, and the starry sky is much more beautiful than the Ninja World's."
