#223 - Chapter 223: Five Kage Conference: Konoha Arrives (5)
With Shukaku as a precedent, both Son Gokū and Saiken were less resistant to having their chakra absorbed.
However, after obtaining the chakra fruits representing Son Gokū and Saiken, Rasa only integrated Saiken's chakra fruit into the Divine Tree of Dragon Oasis.
This triggered another bout of frantic growth in Dragon Oasis, directly expanding from a diameter of five kilometers to fifteen kilometers, and it was still growing.
At this rate, in just one year, the villagers of Sunagakure should be able to discover the existence of Dragon Oasis.
As for why he didn't integrate Son Gokū's chakra fruit:
Firstly, taking so much chakra from the Ten-Tails' chakra at once could easily cause too violent a reaction. Although these reactions may have already occurred, Rasa still expressed a restrained attitude.
Secondly, he would eventually have to return the Four-Tails' Jinchūriki to Iwagakure. He didn't want Son Gokū to activate the Four-Tails Chakra Mode and strengthen Iwagakure's power.
Finally, Rasa planned to integrate Son Gokū's chakra fruit into the Divine Tree of his Yomi World. Currently, due to the barrier between the two worlds, and unbeknownst to even the Sage of Six Paths, Rasa had already gathered the chakra of Shukaku, Isobu, and Kokuō in his Shukaku space. Adding Son Gokū, that made four tailed beasts.
As for why he didn't integrate Saiken's chakra, it was because Saiken was relatively easy for Rasa to obtain.
In the future timeline, the Six-Tails' Jinchūriki was in a semi-wild state, making it relatively easy to capture, as was Chōmei, who resided in Takigakure.
That only left Matatabi, Gyūki, and Kurama.
In that case, even if the Sage of Six Paths were to attack him now, he could directly go to the future timeline and capture these tailed beasts. By then, having gathered the power of all nine tailed beasts, Rasa would at least gain the true power to dance in this world.
As Rasa integrated Son Gokū's chakra fruit into the Divine Tree of the Yomi World,
the Yomi World also underwent new changes.
Originally, after Isobu's chakra was integrated, the world had become a giant lake. As its area rapidly expanded, it began to turn into a giant water ball, as if it were a planet entirely formed of water.
At the core of the water planet, scorching magma flowed.
With the fusion of water and fire, a layer of rock, like the Earth's crust, appeared and began to envelop the magma.
The originally still lake, after turning into a water ball and possessing the power of flowing magma, actually began to rotate slowly like a real planet.
This brought about changes in the other substances of the entire world.
The flowing lake water began to exhibit tides.
The wind in the air began to have warm and cold currents.
The clouds in the sky began to show natural phenomena such as rain and snow.
The emergence of the hydrological cycle caused dust and floating rocks in the air to fall, plunging onto the water planet, and the rudiments of land also began to appear on the surface of the water planet.
"Interesting!"
Seeing this scene, Rasa became more and more convinced that when the power of all nine tailed beasts was integrated into this world,
perhaps it would not only become a real world, but even life might appear in this world.
As for Rasa, after absorbing the chakra of Son Gokū, Kokuō, and Saiken, his personal power increased by a huge level.
In addition to the surge in Senjutsu energy and the tremendous improvement in physique,
on the basis of the original Senjutsu Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release, Wood Release, Sand Control, Wind Release, and Water Release, he directly mastered Lava Release, Boil Release, and Acid Release. In addition, he also re-mastered Earth Release and Fire Release.
In other words, the current Rasa had reacquired the other five elemental releases except for Lightning Release.
He also possessed six Senjutsu Kekkei Genkai.
Logically speaking, the current Rasa was already invincible in this ninja world, but as he controlled more and more power, Rasa slowly realized that it was not enough.
Although he had mastered so much power, these powers were still at the same level.
If explained from the perspective of chakra, it was Kekkei Genkai.
And from the perspective of Senjutsu energy, it was Senjutsu Kekkei Genkai.
But don't forget, above Kekkei Genkai, there were even stronger Kekkei Tōta and Kekkei Mōra.
Then above Senjutsu Kekkei Genkai, could he also develop corresponding Senjutsu Tōta and Senjutsu Mōra!
It seemed that what Tamagushi Hime said was right, he really needed to slow down first and thoroughly understand the power he possessed. If he could develop the corresponding Senjutsu Tōta and Senjutsu Mōra, then he could truly have the power to fight against the Sage of Six Paths, and even the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Before that, since he already possessed so much power,
without developing Senjutsu Tōta and Senjutsu Mōra, it was still necessary to enhance his attack power in another special way.
What was this method?
That was the Rasengan that Rasa had given up on!
However, Rasa thought more. He wanted to develop a Tailed Beast Ball based on Senjutsu Kekkei Genkai: Secret Technique - Sage Art: Avatar Technique.
He called it: Senjutsu Ball!
Just as Rasa was developing the Senjutsu Ball in the desert,
the arrival of two pieces of news forced Rasa to put down his practice and return to the village once again.

Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
As time passed, the magnificent reconstruction and development of Sunagakure was still proceeding in an orderly manner. On the land of the new Sunagakure, which had been bombarded by Tailed Beast Balls, traces of construction could be seen everywhere. The excavation of the Ryūsa River was also very smooth, having already dug hundreds of kilometers. This allowed Sunagakure to completely escape the influence of the Tailed Beast disturbance and begin to embark on a path of rapid development. Every Sunagakure villager's face was filled with a smile of hope for the future.
Kazekage Office.
The Ino-Shika-Chō trio, who had come from the Land of Fire and had been resting in the waiting room for more than an hour, still had expressions of shock on their faces.
As the leader of the trio and the recently reappointed Hokage advisor, Nara Shikaku said with a serious expression.
"You've all seen it, right?"
"Yeah."
Yamanaka Inoichi nodded.
"Judging from the area currently under construction in Sunagakure, Sunagakure's area has already exceeded our Konoha's by three or four times. If it continues to develop like this, Sunagakure surpassing our Konoha is only a matter of time. Moreover, with that Kazekage in charge, it probably won't be long. This is really a headache..."
Akimichi Chōza patted his friend's back and said with an optimistic smile.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Minato is doing well now, isn't he?"
The three looked at each other and smiled.
Indeed, at least Minato had united the entire Konoha for the first time since becoming Hokage. Even the Uchiha clan had expressed their welcome to Minato becoming Hokage.
Just then, the door to the waiting room was pushed open, and Maki walked in.
"Come with me, the Kazekage is waiting for you!"
