In the comfort of his home, Naruto opened his eyes. His power, while not experiencing a leap, although, had undergone a significant qualitative advancement.
He was still in the first stage of the Mortal Evolution State, but his power far surpassed that level, reaching the strength of Mortal Evolution Level 9.
However, even if he advanced to the second stage of the Mortal Evolution State, Naruto was fully aware that his power was still far from the Planetary State.
With his current strength, a single punch could destroy an entire city. As for the next realm, it was difficult to predict, but it was likely to be on par with someone like Kaguya.
Yet, this was just a rough speculation by Naruto. He was still unsure if he was correctly assessing his power level. Without the ability to see with his own eyes, it was difficult to determine. Theoretically, it seemed like he was correct, but in practice, perhaps not entirely.
'I am strong enough for now. It's time to share some of my orbs. At least the weak red light orbs can help my friends make progress. After all, I can't do everything alone,' Naruto thought.
Even if he could eventually handle everything on his own, it would be simply dull and lonely. Naruto didn't aspire to that kind of lifestyle for himself. Although he wasn't naive enough to give away his best resources to others, sharing something that no longer held substantial value to him, like the orbs from the first map, would be good for his friends.
Naruto pondered about his comrades. Tsunade undoubtedly needed to strengthen herself, but he had to be cautious with Sai. Despite his trust in Sai, Naruto knew that Sai was still under Danzo's influence. Therefore, for now, he would exclude him from this distribution.
The situation with Sakura was also complicated. She was still fixated on Sasuke. Naruto had no knowledge of what she would be capable of if she received something so powerful. Would she be reckless enough to chase after him with it?
Such complications were cumbersome and bothersome, and Naruto preferred to avoid them.
The first candidates could be people like Shikamaru. Kakashi was also a plausible option. Additionally, Rock Lee presented an intriguing choice. A ninja who couldn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, relying solely on taijutsu, harnessing something like Natural Energy? What kind of transformation would that bring to his fighting style?
This perspective somehow piqued Naruto's curiosity.
Ino was another interesting choice for the purple orbs. How powerful would she become if her mind was enhanced with the purple orbs? And if she built a stronger body with Natural Energy, could she control someone by using Shadow Clones and performing the Mind Body Switch Technique with a shadow clone? Of course, her power was not limited to that. If her mental power increased, she would undoubtedly become a formidable ninja.
Naruto had a multitude of ideas bubbling in his mind as he pondered the possibilities.
The same reasoning applied to Tsunade. If she incorporated Natural Energy, would she be able to learn the Sage Mode from the slugs? That was an intriguing possibility. And if it were possible, how powerful could she become?
Even Kiba was in his thoughts. How powerful could he become if he achieved perfect physical refinement and, together with Akamaru, utilized the Three-Headed Human Beast Transformation? What kind of transformation would result from that?
There were many questions and many considerations to be made. And the stronger Naruto became, the more confident he was in being able to support his friends.
When he was weak, revealing his secrets made him vulnerable, but now he could have a calmer mind to share at least a little with them.
Although some of them still required careful reflection, like Sakura, for example.
Despite Sakura proving herself reliable on numerous occasions, her irrational obsession with Sasuke always kept Naruto on alert. He couldn't fully trust her. Even Konan, whom he had just met personally, seemed more trustworthy than Sakura, highlighting Sakura's instability.
In the case of Sai, the only obstacle was the presence of Danzo. For now, Naruto could wait.
After deep reflection, Naruto entered Sage Mode and located Tsunade. Noticing that she had returned to her office and that only Shizune was present, Naruto created multiple shadow clones, gave each of them some orbs, and headed toward the Hokage's office.
Even before Naruto reached the Hokage's office, Tsunade had already been informed of his arrival.
When he knocked on the door, she invited him in with an authoritative yet welcoming tone. "You may enter, Naruto."
"With your permission," Naruto said as he opened the door and entered the room.
Just as he had sensed in Sage Mode, only Tsunade and Shizune were present in the room.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Tsunade promptly inquired, "What's wrong, Naruto?"
"There's something important that I need to tell you and show you," Naruto replied. With a hand gesture, he created an isolated space around the office, blocking sound and any attempt at spying. He even cast a powerful genjutsu around the room, utilizing his immense mental strength.
Tsunade and Shizune appeared visibly surprised, their faces reflecting a mix of admiration and perplexity. They exchanged glances, curious about what was to come.
Despite her curiosity, Tsunade maintained a serious expression. "Naruto, what do you want to tell me and show me?"
Upon hearing that, Naruto smiled at Tsunade, his eyes shining with an indescribable mystery. "It's something good, of course. You'll like it."
Then, Naruto opened his hand, and a faint red orb appeared in his palm. The dim light emanating from it cast a gentle red veil over their faces. Tsunade and Shizune fixed their gaze on the mysterious orb of light that had suddenly appeared in Naruto's hand.
Tsunade furrowed her brow suspiciously. "What is this?"
Naruto smiled. "This is something related to my new power. Let's say that after I learned the Sage Mode, that wasn't all I learned. I can now create this orb of light that is capable of helping the user increase their reserve of Natural Energy, strengthen their body, and even rejuvenate the user."
Naruto had already prepared a convincing explanation. There were all kinds of mysticism in the world, including things like resurrection. Why couldn't he have a Sage Mode capable of creating Natural Energy?
Naruto looked at Tsunade, whose face expressed shock, and continued, "I reached this conclusion because when you use these orbs, your body undergoes a purification process, flooded with pure Natural Energy. So, it's reasonable to assume that the user will also undergo a rejuvenation process."
"How?!" Tsunade widened her eyes and looked at Naruto in disbelief.
Shizune, who was also in the room, was equally shocked. However, being young, she didn't feel as much anxiety as Tsunade, but still, the idea sparked her feminine interest. If she could use it, couldn't she prolong her youth?
Both of them looked at the small orb of light, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Tsunade then turned her gaze back to Naruto and said, "Naruto, this is invaluable. You should be the only one to use it. Although I am deeply touched by your willingness to share this with me, I..."
Naruto smiled. "This is a gift I have; I can generate these orbs every day. I'm already strong enough, you've seen that, haven't you? So, for me, it's not as useful. I'm even thinking of sharing them with some of my friends."
The orb Naruto was holding was the lowest level one. It was sufficient for Tsunade and even for Shizune for now. The energy contained in the higher-level orbs was too intense, unsuitable for those who hadn't refined their bodies yet.
Naruto also separated some smaller orbs of purple color and began to explain their purpose.
With the imminent Five Kage Summit, it would be ideal for Tsunade's strength to have increased by then. The goal was for her to stand out as the most powerful among them.
In particular, Naruto was intrigued to see what kind of changes in future events this change could cause.
"How do I make use of this?" Tsunade inquired, holding the small red orb in her hand.
Naruto detailed the whole process. He mentioned that the energy of the orbs could be accessed through a practice similar to Zen Meditation. He suspected that Tsunade might have a similar technique, considering that she had probably tried to learn the Sage Mode from the slugs.
Naruto gave Tsunade a thousand soft red orbs, obtained from the first map. He also gave her 200 purple orbs. She could use them for herself or share them with Shizune. However, he made sure to warn her not to distribute these orbs to anyone else she didn't completely trust.
