After using Deep Forest Emergence once, Nawaki did not feel tired at all.
After being injected with the Hashirama No. 1 serum, his bloodline had undergone a huge evolution. Now, using Wood Release consumed far less chakra than before.
Watching her younger brother's Wood Release become this much stronger, Tsunade was very pleased.
The people from Iwagakure were all stunned. Although they had long known that Konoha had people who could use Wood Release, the greening of Sandthorn City had taken several years to complete.
Yet a single technique could create an area as large as a football field. It would not take long at all before this vast region was fully greened.
Tsunade patted Nawaki on the shoulder, "The trees are too dense. This isn't a battle. Even reducing the tree density by fifty percent would be more than enough."
Nawaki scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, "Using Wood Release doesn't consume as much anymore, so I unconsciously make them this dense."
Looking at the lush forest, Tsunade seemed to see Hashirama's figure for a moment.
"Go on," Tsunade nodded and said nothing more.
Nawaki still had a heavy task ahead of him. With two leaps, he reached the edge of the forest he had just created.
He gathered his chakra once more and began using Deep Forest Emergence again.
Amid rumbling sounds, another forest the size of a football field rose from the ground.
This time, the trees were more spread out. It was obvious that Nawaki had carefully controlled them.
Without showing any sign of tiring, he continued using Wood Release to create forests at the astonishing speed of one football field every few dozen seconds.
After working for several hours, a trace of fatigue finally appeared on Nawaki's face.
But when he looked back, everything in sight was covered in green forest.
During that time, one-fifth of the area they had scouted and occupied yesterday had already been completely greened.
At that moment, a pair of hands pressed against Nawaki's back.
A large amount of chakra poured into his body.
Tsunade's voice came from behind him, "This is such a huge area. Even if your consumption is low, you'll still run out."
"I don't have any talent for Wood Release. You'll have to judge that yourself. But I can help you more with chakra, so you can work faster."
"Okay, Sis. Thanks."
Nawaki did not stand on ceremony with Tsunade. After all, he had a heavy task.
With Tsunade supplying him with chakra, Nawaki quickly recovered.
Then he continued working.
With Tsunade helping him, Nawaki had no shortage of chakra for the time being.
Forests continued rising from the ground one after another.
Tsunade had previously thought Rengoku's plan was a little unreliable.
Now she felt that Rengoku's idea was excellent.
Green every piece of occupied land, then extend an olive branch to the people of the Land of Wind, who had lived in the barren desert for generations.
Whether Sunagakure still had the will to fight after that was another matter.
This operation could not be hidden from anyone. Before long, endless forests would appear before everyone's eyes.
So Konoha made no attempt to drive away the scouts from the various villages watching from afar.
They even let them watch how these forests came into being.
Seeing Konoha create forests this quickly, the other villages were all shocked.
Only Sunagakure's side wore complicated expressions.
The greenery they had dreamed of was something Konoha could create with ease.
But they still remembered their mission as scouts and quickly brought the information back.

[Inside Otsutsuki Toneri's Castle]
After obtaining Hanabi's eyes, Black Zetsu hurried over without stopping.
"Toneri, these are the eyes of Hinata's younger sister, Hanabi."
When Toneri heard they were not Hinata's eyes, disappointment showed on his face.
"They're not Hinata's?"
Black Zetsu knew exactly how to brainwash a child like this.
"Toneri, although these aren't Hyuga Hinata's eyes, Hyuga Hanabi has an excellent bloodline as well."
After saying that, he continued, "Once your Tenseigan awakens, you can go find Hinata yourself if you still like her."
"Didn't you want to marry Hinata? Now you can awaken the Tenseigan without using her eyes. Isn't that even better?"
Toneri thought about it and agreed, "Then once my Tenseigan awakens, I'll personally go to the ninja world."
"I've never really had a good look at the ninja world."
"I want to see just how chaotic it has become."
Black Zetsu looked at Toneri with a smile, his gaze like he was looking at a delicious cake.
"Toneri, I'll change your eyes first."
The Second Elder, Otsutsuki Aoto, spoke from the side.
"Okay."
Toneri answered and stood still.
This kind of minor operation was extremely simple. After checking the eyes, the Second Elder directly placed them into Toneri's eye sockets.
Light glowed from his hands as he adjusted the position of the eyes.
In only two minutes, Toneri had Hanabi's eyes.
However, Toneri could not use them immediately after the transplant.
He still needed to keep his eyes closed and nourish them for a while.
"The potential of these eyes is so high. It looks like the Tenseigan will awaken very soon."
After sensing them briefly, a smile appeared on Toneri's face.
Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then how long will it take before your Tenseigan awakens?"
Toneri shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure. But about a year should be enough."
Toneri was the same age as Naruto, so his body had not yet fully matured. As a result, awakening the Tenseigan would take a little longer.
Black Zetsu had already waited so many years. One more year was naturally nothing.
However, the ninja world changed constantly, and new developments could happen at any time.
So he could not stay on the Moon waiting. He needed to return to the ninja world and keep watch.
"In that case, I'll head back to the ninja world."
Toneri knew another war had broken out in the ninja world. To keep it from becoming too severe, Lord Black Zetsu had to work hard again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Black Zetsu. Once my Tenseigan awakens, I'll be able to help you."
Everything Toneri knew had come from the First Elder and the Second Elder.
Since he had been born without eyes, he had no idea that the Second Elder had changed, nor did he know that everything the Second Elder had taught him over the past two years was false.
In his understanding, Black Zetsu had been constantly running around the ninja world to maintain its stability.
Knowing that Toneri lacked the materials needed to awaken the Tenseigan, Black Zetsu had even specially found suitable Byakugan eyes for him.
The current Toneri respected Black Zetsu greatly.
Black Zetsu froze for a moment before remembering that he had completely fooled Toneri.
He put on an act, answered with a nod, and said earnestly, "You don't need to worry about the ninja world. Right now, the most important thing is awakening your Tenseigan."
"Only after your Tenseigan awakens will you have the strength to interfere in the affairs of the ninja world."
"Yes, Lord Black Zetsu. I understand."
