Golden Chakra and natural energy intertwined, forming a brilliant cocoon of light around Shun.
Wherever the light reached, the small blades of grass on the ground grew wildly at a visible speed.
Shrubs that were originally less than a meter tall instantly grew into towering trees, and even the distant mountains radiated astonishing vitality.
A gentle breeze swept by, and countless petals, like pink snowflakes, drifted down, resembling a miracle from legends.
Tsunade looked at the scene before her, her eyes filled with shock. She subconsciously grabbed Shun's arm.
She said with a hint of unbelievable admiration, "Darling, how did you do that just now? This is simply... simply something only a god could do."
Yukari stood nearby, a few peach petals caught in her curly hair. Looking at the thriving plants around them, her eyes were full of wonder.
"It's so magical, these plants seem to be responding to your call."
Shun smiled and held both their hands, a faint golden light shimmering at his fingertips.
He asked, "Do you want to see the full view of the peach blossom forest?"
In an instant, the space around the three of them subtly warped, and the next second, they teleported to the mountain peak of the peach blossom forest.
The view here was expansive, offering a panoramic sight of the nearby mountains.
All over the mountains, peach blossoms bloomed under the sunlight, like a pink ocean, and the air was filled with a sweet floral fragrance.
On the mountaintop, a smooth table and eight stools were neatly arranged, their surfaces extremely smooth, clearly meticulously polished.
Shun looked at the two and explained, "That wasn't just my doing. The planetary consciousness, Hiroto, was helping me. It can communicate with all things on the planet and mobilize the power of all plants. I merely guided it with Wood Release."
Tsunade walked to the stone table, her hair blowing in the wind. She took a deep breath, feeling the rich natural energy in the air, and a pleasant surprise flashed in her eyes.
"The natural energy here is so abundant, and I feel the gravity is about twice as strong as in the Ninja World? If I train here, even I could get much stronger. Shun, I want to bring the children here to train, this environment is too perfect."
Shun pulled them both to sit down, the children's expectant eyes appearing in his mind.
He said, "Of course you can come here to train, but the children are still too young. At their age, they need to interact with other children, learn sharing and inclusion through play, and develop correct outlooks on life and values. After they turn 12, when their bodies and minds are more mature, I'll bring them here for more systematic training."
Tsunade thought for a moment and felt his words made sense, so she nodded. "You're right, I was too impatient. When the children are a bit older, we'll bring them here to train, they'll definitely be very happy."
Just then, she took a deep breath, her eyes full of surprise. "Husband, why do I feel that natural energy actively integrates into my body with every breath? This is almost impossible in the Ninja World. Even ninjas who specialize in natural energy need to deliberately guide it to absorb it."
Yukari also tried it, and soon exclaimed in surprise, "Me too! Natural energy seems to be very close to me, it actively fuses into my body."
Shun gently stroked the tops of their heads, and golden Chakra left a subtle mark on their foreheads.
He explained, "This is because I've given you access to this planet's permissions. Your status is equivalent to 'reserve deities' of this planet. You have a very high affinity here, and natural energy will actively gravitate towards you."
He paused, then spoke to the air, "Hiroto, say hello to my two consorts."
The next second, a gentle voice resonated in Tsunade and Yukari's consciousness. "Hello, two consorts, I am the consciousness of this planet, and my name is Hiroto."
Hearing the voice in her mind, Tsunade immediately felt a bit reserved and quickly responded, "Hello, Hiroto, I am Tsunade. I might trouble you often in the future, please take care of us."
Yukari also respectfully said, "Hello, Hiroto, I am Yukari. Please take care of me in the future. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Tsunade suddenly remembered something. She tried to mobilize the surrounding natural energy, wanting to activate Sage Mode, which she hadn't mastered for many years.
In the Ninja World, because natural energy was difficult to control, she practiced for several years without success.
But this time, as she concentrated, a soft yellow glow quickly emanated around her, her sclera turned light yellow, and her pupils were also imbued with the color of natural energy.
"Sage... Sage Mode?"
Tsunade looked at the yellow glow around her, her eyes full of disbelief. "I actually activated Sage Mode instantly? In the Ninja World, I practiced for years without success, but here it's so easy?"
Yukari saw Tsunade's transformation and couldn't help but try it herself.
She took a deep breath, mobilizing the surrounding natural energy, and almost instantly, a light green natural energy enveloped her body, successfully activating Sage Mode. Her curly hair, wrapped in natural energy, shimmered with a faint red-green luster.
"This is incredible!"
Yukari looked at her hands, her eyes full of pleasant surprise. "I feel like natural energy and my Chakra have perfectly fused together, without any rejection. Is this the true power of Sage Mode? It's unbelievable."
Watching their excited expressions, Shun smiled and explained, "On this planet, you are reserve deities, favored by the world. Activating Sage Mode is like an instinct. But this convenience is limited to this planet. On other planets, you still need to rely on your own strength to control natural energy."
His gaze changed, carrying a hint of expectation. "So you must master Sage Mode well here and familiarize yourselves with the use of natural energy. Once you've fully mastered it, even if you return to the Ninja World, you'll be able to activate Sage Mode easily, and your strength will undergo a qualitative leap."
Tsunade carefully sensed the changes within herself, trying to mobilize the natural energy, and a pale yellow light shimmered at her fingertips.
She suddenly became excited, her cheeks flushed. "The natural energy here is very pure. As natural energy fuses into my body, I feel my body being constantly strengthened. My cell vitality is also continuously increasing, and even my Chakra volume has greatly increased."
In Sage Mode, Yukari's body glowed, and her red-green hair danced in the air, as if it had a life of its own.
She gently waved her finger, and the surrounding natural energy condensed into lifelike peach blossoms, suspended beside her.
"Controlling this natural energy truly feels like an instinct. It only requires imagination to transform."
