Yamato complained powerlessly, then borrowed Nine-Tails Chakra from Naruto. The Nine-Tails Chakra could boost his Wood Release power.
Meanwhile, Haruno Sakura took out a sealing scroll. Upon unsealing it, a massive teleportation platform appeared.
"Senior Konan, Captain Yamato, how will we move this platform to the Ninja World?" Haruno Sakura asked.
Before Konan and Yamato could reply, Naruto confidently laughed, "Sakura, leave this to Sasuke and me!"
Haruno Sakura was confused. "Isn't that too far? Even for you two, you can't maintain the Nine-Tails and Susanoo states for long, can you?"
Yamato put his hands on his hips and said, "Sakura's right."
"For now, it's best to use the teleportation platform and have Asuma help. He can plant a Sage Tree here and use it as a power transmission carrier. Naruto, you'll inject Nine-Tails Chakra to push the platform forward."
Konan also nodded. "First, let's move it to Amegakure in the Land of Rain. We'll establish the initial water circulation system there with craftsmen. Once we confirm the water circulation system is usable, we'll try the next step."
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke said, "If that's the case, there's an easier way that won't trouble Lord Asuma!"
Everyone was taken aback. Haruno Sakura quickly reacted, "Sasuke, are you talking about the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"That's right!"
Uchiha Sasuke nodded. "During the last great war, we could even transfer tens of thousands of allied ninja. Transferring this platform shouldn't be a problem as long as there's enough Chakra."
Yamato stroked his chin. "That is indeed a method."
"Currently, those skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique are Kakashi, Asuma, and the Fourth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage isn't in the village right now, so he can't help. If we don't trouble Asuma, then Kakashi will have to do it."
Haruno Sakura, however, smiled. "Captain Yamato forgot, the Fourth Hokage's guard squad, including Senior Shiranui Genma, can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique together."
"They shouldn't be as busy as Teacher Kakashi!"
Yamato and Konan exchanged a look, then smiled. "Alright, it's decided then!"
"Sakura, you're responsible for using the teleportation platform to return to Konoha and invite Shiranui Genma and the others to help."
"Understood!"
Haruno Sakura nodded and immediately returned to Konoha via the teleportation platform.
Yamato had also rested enough, and with Naruto's Tailed Beast Chakra, he directly used Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence to green the entire surface of the smooth hemispherical platform.
At this moment, four people appeared on the teleportation platform. It was Haruno Sakura bringing Shiranui Genma and the others.
When they learned they had to transfer the giant stone sphere beneath their feet, Shiranui Genma and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
"With an object this massive, our Chakra might not be enough to transfer it!"
Shiranui Genma stated honestly.
Naruto immediately patted his chest. "Don't worry, the three of you. I'll share Kurama's Chakra with you."
Shiranui Genma and the other two exchanged glances, then nodded in unison.
Afterward, the three separated and placed their palms on the ground in a triangular formation.
Naruto stood in the center, extending three Chakra arms to rest on their shoulders.
At the same time, Konan, Yamato, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke were also enveloped in a layer of Nine-Tails Chakra.
"Attention, we're starting!"
Shiranui Genma shouted, and Sage Mode Markings appeared on his and the other two's faces simultaneously.
Their Sage Mode was naturally cultivated through the Sage Tree.
And now, they were using Sage Mode to connect with the Sage Tree of the Land of Rain.
Swish!
The air currents shifted, and the entire massive hemisphere, along with Naruto and the others on it, vanished from high in the sky.
Land of Rain.
Above the Sage Tree.
The massive hemisphere suddenly appeared.
"No mistakes!"
Shiranui Genma smiled.
Yamato quickly laughed, "Thank you very much!"
"You're too kind, see you later."
Shiranui Genma and the other two waved, then boarded the teleportation altar and left.
After watching them depart, Yamato said, "Naruto, Sasuke, the rest is up to you. We need to make this behemoth appear near Amegakure and then land."
"Captain Yamato, don't worry, it's completely fine."
Naruto laughed, then activated Kurama Mode and moved outside the hemisphere, using his nine tails to push the hemispherical platform.
He still had Six Paths power, which allowed him to float in the air.
Moreover, the Sage Tree wasn't too far from Amegakure, so Naruto handled it himself without needing Uchiha Sasuke's intervention.
Outside Amegakure, Nagato also ascended the platform. Gazing at the lush vegetation, he asked, "Wood Release... what's the plan now?"
Haruno Sakura replied, "We need to bring this platform down to the ground, then have the craftsmen come up here to build some water storage and purification systems."
Nagato nodded, then looked down. "Chibaku Tensei was split in half, the jutsu broken, and it's still floating. Relying solely on the Third Tsuchikage's Super Light-Heavy Rock Jutsu wouldn't be enough, so... did you use Chibaku Tensei again?"
"As expected of a Rinnegan user..."
Yamato praised inwardly, then smiled, "Indeed. It's a jutsu prepared by Asuma. According to him, possessing the Rinnegan allows one to control the platform's gravitational pull, or rather, alter its mass."
Nagato looked at Uchiha Sasuke. "Is this child going to do it?"
Yamato looked at Uchiha Sasuke. "Sasuke, can you do it?"
Uchiha Sasuke nodded, his Rinnegan appearing.
The next moment, the entire hemisphere trembled, then plummeted downwards.
Yamato's expression changed. "Too fast... if it falls like this, it'll probably shatter!"
Fortunately, it was just a scare. Uchiha Sasuke quickly mastered the control, and the descent slowed dramatically. When it was only a dozen meters from the ground, it began to descend slowly.
Boom!
The hemisphere touched the ground with a rumbling tremor, but the impact was minimal. It was perfectly fine.
"Alright!"
Haruno Sakura smiled and said, "Captain Yamato, next is building the stairs."
"Leave that to me!"
Yamato chuckled.
Stairs were no problem.
As long as there was enough chakra, it wasn't an issue.
Once the stairs were built, Konan began gathering craftsmen from various places through the alliance system.
The experimental construction of the aerial fortress officially entered its second phase.
At the same time.
Sarutobi Asuma finally finished his childcare duties and, along with Onoki, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Kōta, and others, arrived in the mountains between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth.
Nagato, who had been watching the aerial fortress construction, immediately rushed over, saying with anticipation, "Is it starting?"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded. "It's the rainy season right now. The moist air currents coming from the sea should show results soon."
Having said that, he carefully sensed the air currents in the area and instructed Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Kōta, "Yashiro, Kōta, shave twenty meters off these high mountains in this area first."
"Yes, Lord Asuma!"
Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Kōta nodded in unison. They then activated their Susanoo, drew their swords, and began shaving off the mountaintops.
However, this wasn't a battle, so they couldn't be too reckless, and they proceeded with great care.
Sarutobi Asuma had said to shave off twenty meters, and they would only shave off twenty meters!
Onoki watched, then stepped forward. "I'll give it a try too!"
Dust Release: Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Onoki clapped his hands together and then apart, also beginning to shave off the mountaintops, doing so in a way that seemed to leave no trace.
However, even with the three of them working together, hundreds of mountaintops were still a considerable number, and they were getting quite exhausted.
But Sarutobi Asuma's face lit up with joy.
He sensed that the moist air currents from the Land of Rain were crossing these high mountains and entering the Land of Earth.
Still, it was too little!
"Continue!"
"This time, shave off fifty meters!"
After sensing the situation in the Land of Earth, Sarutobi Asuma returned and gave the order.
Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Kōta immediately activated Sage Mode. Onoki, however, had to admit his age; his lower back was acting up again, so he could only watch the two Susanoo at work.
After shaving off another fifty meters this time, Sarutobi Asuma didn't continue.
Firstly, Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Kōta needed to rest. Although they both had Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and wouldn't go blind, their chakra couldn't sustain it.
Secondly, they needed to observe the results.
And so.
Sarutobi Asuma stood in the rain on the mountains for two days.
It didn't affect him, but Onoki, with his aging body, couldn't handle it and went to Amegakure to rest.
On the third day, a shout startled Sarutobi Asuma awake.
"Lord Asuma, it's raining in the Land of Earth, not far from here."
Uchiha Kōta leaped forward, arriving before Sarutobi Asuma, and said excitedly.
"This feeling... it's even more exhilarating than defeating an enemy."
"This is something that changes the world!"
Sarutobi Asuma, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes and stood up, gazing north. Indeed, he saw a patch of dark clouds not far away.
According to Onoki, during this season, that region of the Land of Earth never experienced rainfall.
Beside him, Nagato was stunned, almost feeling like crying.
The Land of Rain, a weeping nation!
It was as if it were cursed.
He, Yahiko, and Konan had all wanted to change this in the past.
Whether it was the constant warfare or the ceaseless rain.
But...
Taking a deep breath, Nagato asked, "Should we continue?"
"Of course!"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded with a smile, "The Land of Rain still has too much water. This amount of moisture can only form a little rain in the Land of Earth."
"However, we need to be more careful from now on. We need to try this bit by bit."
After thinking for a moment, he ordered Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Kōta, who had activated their Susanoo, to first create an opening in the middle of this mountain range.
In other words, they would directly shave off a bit more from the middle of the mountain, creating a gap for the humid airflow to pass through and enter the Land of Earth.
However, this process had to be done slowly.
But Sarutobi Asuma had plenty of time at the moment; he didn't need to do any of the work himself.
He could even take time out every day to go home and accompany his wife and children.
Just like that, five more days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Land of Rain was finally sunny!
On this day, parts of the Land of Earth experienced heavy rainfall!
From the mountaintop, Nagato looked at the sunny Land of Rain, and tears finally welled up in his eyes. "Yahiko, did you see this...?"
In Amegakure, the busy Konan froze.
She looked up, seeing the somewhat dazzling but also very warm sunlight, and a moved smile appeared on her face. "We succeeded!"
In the distance, Naruto was cheering for the finally clear skies.
And Onoki was currently flying north.
...
News quickly spread throughout the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth.
At first, people were half-believing, half-doubting. But when the Land of Rain continued to be sunny for several days, even when it did rain again, it was only for short periods, not for ten days to half a month like before.
The same was true for the Land of Earth on the other side.
For who knew how many years, the Land of Earth at this time of year had never seen so much rain.
Suddenly, the people of the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth were ecstatic!
Sarutobi Asuma's name began to spread widely among the common people.
Although Sarutobi Asuma had saved the entire world not long ago, the common people in other regions, apart from those in the ninja villages, hadn't really felt much impact.
But now, it was different.
Sarutobi Asuma had changed what they couldn't change before.
A god!
...
From the mountaintop, Sarutobi Asuma looked at his Charm stat, which had increased by 5 points, and the substantial 2 million experience points, feeling very satisfied.
As for the Charm stat, he knew it would increase. But he was pleasantly surprised to receive experience points as well.
Currently, his experience points were almost all gained through slow cultivation. This sudden influx of 2 million points was equivalent to developing two Kekkei Mōra.
"It seems I must thoroughly reform the Ninja World!"
Sarutobi Asuma felt a surge of motivation.
Onoki, even more eager, asked, "Alliance Leader, when will we use Wood Release to transform the Land of Earth?"
He dreamed of the Land of Earth being as resource-rich as the Land of Fire.
Sarutobi Asuma shook his head. "Wood Release isn't omnipotent. Even if I create more vegetation with Wood Release, the Land of Earth still needs sufficient water sources. I can't rely on the Sage Tree to support it all; that would deplete the planet's strength."
Upon hearing this, Onoki calmed down. "That is indeed true."
He realized that the reason for changing the precipitation situation in the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain first was to lay the foundation for the future.
"Elder Onoki, the reconstruction of the Land of Earth will take some time. Why don't you and your ninjas, who are skilled in Earth Style, help with the Land of Wind first?" Sarutobi Asuma said with a smile.
"The Land of Wind?" Onoki looked confused. "You want to use Earth Style to reconstruct the Land of Wind?"
Nagato also looked puzzled.
Sarutobi Asuma turned to face south and explained with a smile, "The Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers have too much freshwater. The great rivers flow south and empty directly into the sea."
"Most of the freshwater resources in these two countries return to the sea this way, which is a great waste."
"Therefore, we need to divert some of the water resources from these two countries to the Land of Wind to create artificial oases in the desert."
"This will require not only Wood Release but also Earth Style!"
"We need to use individual oases as anchor points to accumulate water resources, and then, with large-scale Wood Release, we can overcome nature."
"This also won't consume too much Natural Energy."
Nagato couldn't help but swallow. "Can this really be done?"
"In the desert, water evaporates very quickly, and there is shifting sand. Even if we introduce water sources, it will be difficult to penetrate deep into the Land of Wind."
Sarutobi Asuma nodded. "It is indeed difficult."
"That's why we need to concentrate the power of ninjas. The power of ninjas is the primary productive force!"
"We need to simultaneously prevent sandstorms and fix the sand, and minimize the loss of water resources along the way..."
