After testing his newly acquired Wood Release, Tengen felt a surge of satisfaction. He had gained another trump card.
The perfected Bloodline Limit of Wood Release, combined with the chakra reserves of his Uzumaki heritage, allowed him to wield most Wood Release techniques.
If Konoha's ninjas learned Tengen possessed Wood Release, who knew what they'd think?
His Mangekyō Sharingan had already left an indelible mark on both Konoha and Sunagakure. Konoha's ninjas revered him, while the Suna-nins trembled in fear.
Such power was legendary, said to rival that of the First Hokage.
"I hope I can obtain the Sage Body someday." Tengen mused. Only with the Sage Body could Wood Release reach its ultimate potential.
Tengen's Wood Release was optimized to perfection, surpassing even a resurrected Hashirama Senju.
"First, let's combine the video fragments." Tengen said, eyeing the two halves of the high-definition Dragon Ball video. "System, synthesize the Dragon Ball video fragments."
"Fragments detected. Synthesizing… Synthesis complete. High-definition Dragon Ball video obtained." the system announced.
"A high-definition Dragon Ball video." Tengen said with a smile. "Let's see what it holds."
"Extract."
Ding. "Obtained: Ki Cultivation Method." the system declared.
"Ki Cultivation Method?" Tengen paused, stunned. This was the cornerstone of power in the Dragon Ball world. His earlier Sky Dance Technique had been adapted to suit his current abilities, but now he had the authentic method.
Ki was a power drawn from the body's latent potential, distinct from chakra.
Unlike chakra, which balanced physical and spiritual energy, ki focused primarily on the physical body.
With training, ki could exponentially enhance physical strength, enabling techniques like the Kamehameha Wave, unleashing the body's raw power.
In its later stages, ki could achieve cataclysmic, world-shattering might.
"Let's cultivate it." Tengen said, taking a deep breath as he absorbed the technique.
Details of ki cultivation flooded his mind. A new power, distinct from chakra, began to awaken within his body.
This was ki, drawn from the body's potential.
In the Dragon Ball world, Earthlings like Krillin had honed their bodies under Master Roshi's grueling training to unlock this mysterious force.
Ki was intrinsically tied to the physical body.
Races like the Saiyans were born with immense ki, akin to innate battle power.
Like Armament Haki, ki was a new force distinct from the Naruto world.
Moments later, Tengen had fully absorbed the ki cultivation method.
"This is incredible." he said, smiling. His ki cultivation was perfected, surpassing even advanced techniques like sensing combat power or life force. Tengen could now directly detect the vitality of living beings.
No disguise or transformation could fool this ability.
With this mysterious power, Tengen sensed the Konoha-nins around him. Jiraiya harbored a potent, unknown energy, likely sage chakra. Orochimaru exuded a sinister force. Namikaze Minato and Kushina possessed chakra reserves far greater than most.
"This is an excellent sensory ability." Tengen said with a grin.
He could easily serve as a reconnaissance ninja with this skill.
"My physical strength has increased too." Tengen noted, feeling his body's growth. His training under a pseudo-One Punch Man regimen had already pushed his physique to its limits, but ki cultivation shattered those boundaries.
The Ki Cultivation Method elevated his physical power further.
"Ki and chakra are distinct, like separate realms within me." Tengen observed. The two forces coexisted without interference.
"Even my Armament Haki has grown stronger." he added, sensing its enhancement.
However, Tengen placed his hands on the ground, channeling a miraculous force. A white energy ball shot from his palm, striking the earth.
Boom! A small crater formed.
"My ki reserves are still low." Tengen said, examining his right hand. "This cultivation method has only given me a starting point in the Naruto world."
Mastering ki's foundation was the hardest part.
"I'll need to keep refining my body." Tengen said with a slight smile. "But my taijutsu has grown even stronger."
With ki, his close-combat prowess had skyrocketed.
"If the Third Raikage stood before me now, I'd be tempted to take him on in pure taijutsu." Tengen chuckled.
This harvest was exceptional.
Not only had he acquired the mightiest Bloodline Limit, Wood Release, but he'd also gained the source of power from the Dragon Ball world. Though his ki was in its infancy, with limited reserves, it had already boosted his overall strength significantly.
Even his Sky Dance Technique had become faster.
If Tengen chose to flee, few could catch him.
"Tengen-sama, is something wrong?" A Konoha-nin called from outside, alerted by the sound of his energy ball.
"It's fine. I was testing a ninjutsu. Return to your posts." Tengen said calmly.
"Yes, Tengen-sama!" The ninja replied respectfully before retreating.
As expected, Tengen-sama was unmatched, even training during rest.
Indeed, admiration could be blind.
Meanwhile, in Konoha, news of Tengen's Mangekyō Sharingan powers spread widely, along with his feats of capturing Shukaku and defeating the Kazekage.
