Chapter 151 : Rewards!!

The higher ups of Konoha convened at the Hokage's office.

Afterward, Tsunade led the assembly to initiate the process of extracting the Green Wood Realm.

"Extract!"

Once everyone had extracted it, the Green Wood Realm materialized.

Without hesitation, they decided to integrate the Green Wood Realm with Konoha Village.

Suddenly, a scene that shook the very foundations of those patrolling Konoha unfolded.

Boom!

A terrifying force gripped Konoha, rending the earth apart, as if a colossal hand had uprooted the village with sheer force.

In an instant, where Konoha once stood, there loomed a fearsome abyss.

Amidst the shock, the villagers exclaimed, "What's become of our village?"

They searched desperately but found no trace of it.

In a frantic attempt to seek answers, they contacted the ninjas stationed in the village's live broadcast room, only to discover that the village still existed, though invisible to the outside world.

Tsunade, contemplating the situation, murmured, "Konoha is invisible to outsiders. It seems our village has transformed into the Green Wood Realm."

Simultaneously, at the heart of Konoha, an immense green tree sprouted from the ground, its branches sprawling skyward, seemingly enveloping the entire village.

Moreover, a cyan light barrier adorned the sky, shielding Konoha from prying eyes.

Soon after, numerous ninjas observed a remarkable increase in the speed of their Chakra refinement.

"Hokage-sama, we've identified four portals within Konoha, each in the east, west, north, and south directions. These portals serve as the sole entry points into Konoha from the outside world. No other passage is accessible; they're obstructed by an invisible shield," reported an ANBU operative.

"I understand," Tsunade replied calmly.

Golden List Live Room.

[Fourth Raikage: It appears that Konoha has truly vanished from the ninja world and transformed into the Green Wood Realm. Sneaking into Konoha in the future will prove to be quite challenging!

[Tsunade: Why, Fourth Raikage, do you wish to send ninjas to infiltrate my Konoha as you have done in the past?

[Fourth Raikage: Oh, I'm merely making an observation. I must admit, Konoha's defenses have significantly strengthened. Congratulations!

[Kakashi: The Green Wood Realm has proven to be quite beneficial. It facilitates much faster training, ensuring Konoha's ability to produce more skilled ninjas in the future.

[Tsunade: Allow me to clarify, if you intend to conduct business in Konoha in the future, kindly enter through the designated portals situated in the south, south-west, north, and west of Konoha. We'll mark these portals and assign ninja guards, ensuring orderly entry into Konoha.

[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, Konoha's rewards are enticing, though they do not directly enhance individual strength.

[Nara Shikaku: I believe rewards from each village should benefit the village as a whole, rather than individuals.

[Gaara: Supporting the village's growth is commendable. I hope to acquire treasures that will greatly aid our village's development.

Before long, the reward for second place on the Ninja Village ranking was announced.

Fourth Raikage eagerly watched the live broadcast, anticipation evident in his expression.

On the screen, a reward item materialized.

It was a portal leading to a realm shrouded in thunder, with towering peaks and abundant resources.

[Thunder Realm: This portal grants access to Thunder Realm, ideal for Lightning Style ninja training. Within lie plentiful lightning-infused herbs and treasures conducive to training.

[Fourth Raikage: Thunder Realm—it's akin to a separate dimension! I hadn't expected such a profound reward directly from the rankings!

[Killer Bee: Big Brother, this Thunder Realm will greatly benefit our Cloud Shinobi Village's ninja cultivation! It rivals Konoha's Green Wood Realm, in my opinion.

[Fourth Raikage: To my eyes, it surpasses the Green Wood Realm!

[Tsunade: The security isn't insignificant. If the door to the secret realm gets stolen, that realm belongs to someone else!]

[Fourth Raikage: With me around, I'll never let it fall into someone else's hands.]

Following this declaration, the Fourth Raikage and other higher executives of the Cloud Shinobi Village began the extraction of the Thunder Realm.

"Extract! Get it out now!" commanded the Fourth Raikage.

BOOM!

A colossal Thunder Realm Gate emerged within the Cloud Shinobi Village.

Through this gate, the ninjas of the village could access the Thunder Realm.

"I'll scout ahead," said the Fourth Raikage as he stepped through the gate into the Thunder Realm.

Inside the Thunder Realm, the Fourth Raikage marveled at its treasures. The environment was ideal for training and refining Chakra, abundant with valuable resources. It was truly a natural treasure trove!

"From today onwards, hundreds of ninjas will be stationed to guard this gate. We'll fortify its surroundings to ensure its security and prevent outsiders from stealing it," ordered the Fourth Raikage.

"Yes!" responded the assembled ninjas.

Before long, the reward for third place in the Ninja Village Ranking was revealed.

A piece of soil was depicted in the image.

[Breathing Soil: When integrated into the earth, it transforms it into fertile soil, perfect for cultivating spiritual plants such as medicinal herbs. It accelerates their growth, allowing even hundred-year-old ginseng to mature in just a decade or less.]

[Third Tsuchikage: This soil is invaluable. With it, Iwagakure will possess a prime location for growing precious medicinal herbs. We can sell them and become the wealthiest ninja village in the ninja world!]

[Fourth Raikage: While it doesn't directly enhance strength, its value is still substantial.]

[Third Tsuchikage: Many strength-enhancing pills require rare medicinal ingredients. With a steady supply of them, we can further research pills to boost our strength. Why limit our potential for improvement?]

[Tsunade: I agree, Breathing Soil does seem quite good!]

[Gaara: Indeed, Breathing Soil suits Sunagakure well too!]

"Breathable soil is indeed a marvel, though it's a pity it's just ordinary soil. If it were the Nine Heavens Soil, now that would be truly precious!" Yasao murmured.

Even he couldn't deny the allure of the Nine Heavens Soil; if it were here, he might be tempted to lay claim to it.

After all, the Nine Heavens Soil was one of the materials Nuwa used in creating humanity, imbued with the essence of Uranus itself. Its worth was beyond measure.

But for now, Breathing Soil held little interest for him.

Before long, the Third Tsuchikage and his team extracted the soil, integrating it into a designated area within Iwagakure. 

They cultivated it into a fertile ground, perfect for growing rare medicinal herbs that struggled to thrive elsewhere.

In no time, Iwagakure reaped a bountiful harvest of medicinal ingredients, enough to make the village exceedingly prosperous.
