"Just some Ninja Academy students can provide such a massive amount of Chakra?"
Looking at Minamikawa Yuu in front of her, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes were filled with confusion.
Minamikawa Yuu had once taken her to see those so-called students of the Ninja Academy.
Those students were all descendants of the natives. Because the seeds of Chakra had been spread, they now had a small amount of Chakra in their bodies, but both the quality and quantity were negligible.
In the eyes of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra, they were no different from ordinary ants.
How could these ordinary ants gather such a vast amount of Chakra?
Kaguya instinctively disbelieved it in her heart.
"Though a grain of sand is small, once they gather, they become a desert."
Minamikawa Yuu explained, "The amount of Chakra one person can refine is small, but once there are many people, the situation changes."
How many students were gathered in the Ninja Academies across the land now?
Most people didn't know, but Minamikawa Yuu knew very well.
There were at least two million and counting.
With such a massive number, even if each person only provided a tiny bit of Chakra, the total amount gathered would be immense.
Furthermore, to better collect Chakra, Minamikawa Yuu had specially arranged several things.
For instance, a Chakra Collector made from the crystallized power of the God Tree was placed in every academy.
Another example was the inclusion of Chakra Refining classes in the academy curriculum, requiring every student to inject the Chakra they refined daily into the God Tree crystal to ensure a steady collection.
Over such a long period, it would be strange if the collected Chakra wasn't substantial.
"Every year from now on, there will be this much Chakra?"
As she listened to Minamikawa Yuu's explanation, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes gradually lit up.
She looked at Minamikawa Yuu and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not."
Meeting her gaze, Minamikawa Yuu shook his head.
Just as Kaguya felt a pang of disappointment, he spoke again: "It will be more than this every year."
Once the Ninja Academy system was established, it would only become smoother until it reached a certain limit.
As the educational system improved, more children would enroll each year, joining the ranks of the Chakra refining army.
And all of these were living sources of Chakra.
"More than this every year?"
Staring at the Chakra crystals before her, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's breathing couldn't help but quicken.
The amount of Chakra contained in these crystals was already a significant figure to her.
If even more Chakra could be used every year, then perhaps it wouldn't be long before the God Tree could bear a second fruit.
No, if it continued at this pace, there might be more than one; even two or three were possible.
"Such a simple method, why didn't I think of it before?"
She pondered to herself.
"It's not that simple."
In front of her, Minamikawa Yuu shook his head.
What he did seemed simple, but the difficulty was not small at all.
Establishing a complete universal education system sounds easy, but even in his past life, it took many years to achieve.
Without abundant productivity to support enough people who didn't need to work for survival, children could never go to school.
Without a ruling system with enough authority, a complete education system likewise couldn't be built, at least not one that covered enough people.
To develop to the current stage, even with the help of extraordinary powers like Chakra, Minamikawa Yuu had spent nearly twenty years.
This was the result of him moving in the right direction, with no external factors interfering, and with the full support of Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra.
Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.
*Cough... cough...*
Where he stood, Minamikawa Yuu was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a fit of coughing.
His face was pale, and he looked somewhat weak.
"Yuu."
Kaguya stepped forward, injecting her Chakra into Minamikawa Yuu's body, a look of worry showing in her eyes.
As time passed, Minamikawa Yuu was gradually getting older.
Calculating it, he was now thirty years old.
At this age, by all rights, he should still be in his prime, full of vigor and strength.
But Minamikawa Yuu's body appeared somewhat frail.
Regarding this, she had examined him carefully; it seemed to be due to innate physical reasons.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was very worried about Minamikawa Yuu's physical condition.
The lifespan of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was naturally long, far longer than that of mortal races.
And after consuming the chakra fruit, Kaguya's current constitution and bloodline had been sublimated, making her nearly immortal.
She would no longer die of old age.
But Minamikawa Yuu was still just a mortal.
He would grow old, and he would eventually die one day.
Although he was nourished by Kaguya's Chakra, which could delay the process appropriately, it was still only a matter of time.
To prolong Minamikawa Yuu's life, Kaguya also offered her own suggestion.
She could plant her own Karma within Minamikawa Yuu's body to help his physical form complete a transformation.
Karma was a unique method mastered by the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
It could back up the physical data of an Ōtsutsuki and transfer it into another person's body.
Once Karma was planted, the vessel would transform into an Ōtsutsuki until they were completely replaced by the Ōtsutsuki.
The reason Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could be reborn in a clone after her original body perished was by relying on the power of Karma.
It sounded somewhat similar to possession.
Normally, being planted with Karma was not a good thing for an ordinary person.
But if it could be actively controlled, then it was another matter entirely.
For example, in the current situation.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could plant her own Karma in Minamikawa Yuu's body, letting it transform toward an Ōtsutsuki body.
As a backup, Karma would only be activated after Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's original body died.
Furthermore, Kaguya could actively control this process.
Theoretically, through this method, Minamikawa Yuu could master part of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's power without too much impact on himself.
Of course, even so, it could only greatly delay his lifespan; he would still die eventually.
But that didn't matter.
As long as he could consume a chakra fruit before dying of old age, he could, like the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya before him, awaken directly from an incomplete Ōtsutsuki body and become an immortal lifeform.
At that stage, they could stay together for a long time without worrying about lifespan.
Regarding this proposal, Minamikawa Yuu only thought about it for a while and then chose to agree.
For him, there weren't many downsides to this proposal.
