The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 299 Planting the Divine Tree

The pale golden spatial passage slowly closed in the primordial sphere space.

Uchiha Mitsunori suddenly appeared, his gaze falling on the Divine Tree sapling: "Kaguya, I plan to plant the Divine Tree on an unnamed planet, where natural energy is abundant, making it the most suitable place for the Divine Tree to grow."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya frowned slightly: "I've been to the nameless planet. Although there is a lot of natural energy there, much of it has been consumed in recent years. After the Divine Tree is planted, it will continuously absorb the planet's natural energy. It is only about thirty meters tall now, but it will exceed one thousand meters when it is fully mature. If the planet cannot withstand it, the entire planet's ecosystem will collapse."

Uchiha Mitsunori had already considered this issue. He raised his hand and conjured a pale golden star map, in which countless phantom images of planets slowly rotated.

"I plan to create several more life-bearing planets and allow them to generate stable natural energy. Then, I will transfer some of this natural energy from these planets to the nameless planet, enough to sustain the divine tree."

As she looked at the shimmering phantoms of planets on the star map, the worry in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's eyes gradually faded.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sanfeng, what do you plan to do with the Eye of Rice in the First Style? It contains the original rules of the First Style; it would be a waste to let it go to waste."

Uchiha Mitsunaga paused, his tone thoughtful: "I haven't decided yet. It would be a pity to destroy it directly, but I haven't thought of a suitable use for it yet."

"You'd better absorb it yourself."

Kaguya's expression became much more serious: "Isshiki's Eye of Rice possesses a vast amount of chakra, the power to change size, and fragments of the rules of space and time. If you consume it, you will not only gain a large amount of energy but also directly comprehend its rules, which will greatly help you break through your current strength. However, before consuming it, you must first transplant this eye and retrieve all the items from the other dimension, as many of Isshiki's secret treasures are hidden there."

Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes lit up; this was indeed the best way to handle it.

He took out the nutrient container sealed with the Eye of Rice from the storage scroll. Inside lay an eyeball that glowed with a black and gold light.

"Alright, I'll go to the nameless planet now to deal with it. First, I'll feed the remaining parts of the body to the Divine Tree, and then settle it there. The planet's consciousness will cooperate with my arrangements."

Moments later, the Uchiha Mitsurugi arrived at an uninhabited island on an unnamed planet.

The island is surrounded by the azure sea and covered with towering ancient trees. No human activity can be heard except for the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. This is his territory, and every inch of land is under his control.

He first took out the corpse of Yishi from the storage scroll and fed it to the sapling of the divine tree.

"Buzz..."

The sapling of the sacred tree suddenly burst forth with intense fluorescence, and its roots rapidly extended.

The tree trunk, which was originally more than 30 meters tall, grew taller at a visible rate, and the branches continued to extend, increasing from more than ten to dozens. The leaves also became larger and greener, with a faint golden sheen at the edges.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the divine tree had grown to over sixty meters tall, its trunk requiring four people to encircle it, and it exuded an even more powerful aura.

"He's really growing up quickly."

A hint of surprise flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes. He then took out the Eye of Rice, gathered chakra at his fingertips, and gently pressed it onto the eyeball.

As chakra was injected, the Eye of Rice suddenly burst out with intense light, and a distorted spatial rift unfolded in front of it, within which the phantom images of countless objects could be vaguely seen.

He reached into the spatial rift and continuously took out the items inside.

Dozens of giant black cubes were stacked on the beach, each radiating suppressed energy, which was the "Great Box Heaven" that Itachi had used before.

A black sealing cauldron lay quietly on the ground, its surface engraved with ancient Otsutsuki runes, containing the power to seal time.

Tens of thousands of black rods lay scattered to the side, specially made from Yin and Yang chakra.

After retrieving all the items from the other dimension, Uchiha Mitsunori put away the Eye of Rice and turned to look at the Divine Tree, which had grown to over sixty meters tall.

He carved out a wide open space in the center of the island, reinforced the ground with Yin-Yang Escape, forming an energy array with a diameter of 100 meters, and then manipulated the divine tree to slowly move into the array.

Nourished by natural energy, the roots of the divine tree rapidly extended into the ground, penetrating the nodes of the energy array, and the golden light on the leaves became even brighter.

Just then, the island suddenly trembled slightly.

A respectful yet anxious voice echoed in Uchiha Mitsunori's mind: "Master, this divine tree, over sixty meters tall, is absorbing a large amount of the planet's energy. If this continues, my physical body will be damaged!"

As the master of the planet, Uchiha Mitsunori calmly replied, "Houtu, don't be nervous. I have already planned to create several more life-bearing planets, and in the future, I will transfer the natural energy of those planets here. In addition, from today onwards, the nameless planet will be renamed 'Ancestral Star,' and it will become the core of all my territories. You only need to provide energy to the Divine Tree without affecting the planet's operation, and I will never allow your physical body to be damaged."

The voice in her mind instantly fell silent. After a moment, Houtu spoke with excitement and respect: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon me! Houtu will certainly live up to your expectations! I have sensed the star map you have planned, and I will control the energy output as you requested, ensuring that it neither affects the planet's ecology nor hinders the continued growth of this over sixty-meter-tall divine tree!"

As Houtu finished speaking, the natural energy around the island began to converge on the divine tree in an orderly manner, no longer as chaotic as before.

The over 60-meter-tall trunk of the divine tree swayed slightly, and new branches grew from both sides. The energy patterns on the leaves became clearer, and even tiny energy points could be seen flowing between the leaves.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori breathed a sigh of relief.

The sacred tree has grown from over thirty meters to over sixty meters, and the first step of its planting has been successfully completed, officially establishing the core status of the "ancestral star".

Next, all that's needed is to quickly create a life-bearing planet to support the continued growth of the divine tree.

He turned to look at the black cube and sealing cauldron on the beach, a sharp glint in his eyes: "These things are not needed for now, let's seal them away. After we deal with the matter of the inhabited planet, we can study these treasures left behind by Isshiki. Perhaps we can find more secrets of the Otsutsuki and provide more protection for the divine tree on the 'ancestral planet'."

Uchiha Mitsunori raised his hands and formed a hand seal, covering the items with a pale golden sealing technique before storing them all in a storage scroll.

After doing all this, he looked up at the sky, and the golden six-tomoe Rinnegan shone brightly, with the phantom images of the surrounding planets flashing in his eyes.

Then, he flew into space and carefully assessed the difficulty of terraforming several planets suitable for modification...

Next, he began searching for large quantities of ice meteorites to create the water needed for life...
