A Few Years...

Time passes like river water ...

6 months have passed since Tenma reincarnated in a black salamander body ...

currently , he has already become extremely used to the new life ,that he is sure he won't die unless some stupid creature decided to swallow him and die together ...

or some chakra beast appears and hunts him down...

but the chance of the later happening is very small ...

Now after 6 months of growth ,he became much larger than the beginning .

at first, he was quite small ,about the size of a finger , but now he is about the size of a palm ...

he doesn't seem to stop growing ,so he it seems he hasn't reached his max size yet ...

the largest salamander on mundane earth is quite large , like the size of a crocodile , so he has no fear that he will stay this small ...

he is quite happy that he has the potential to become that large even if he doesn't become a chakra beast , which means that his potential after becoming one is great ...

for chakra beasts , the larger they are , the more powerful they are ,which is a representation of their strength ...

things become different when nature energy gets involved, but at least he won't be mistakenly eaten by a normal animal if he becomes that large ...

coupled with his poisonous slime & powerful regeneration , his survival is a sure thing ...

now that he thinks about it ,if he become a snake or a toad or slug ,he wouldn't be as carefree as now ...

he is really happy that he was reborn as a Salamander ,or else survival would be really hard as a toad or a snake or a slug ...

also , his progress in finding some foreign energy is quite good ...

he didn't sense chakra within himself , but he could feel a faint sense of something different in the atmosphere and the environment around him ...

the feeling is very faint , but it is there ,which made him slightly relieved that he isn't completely talentless in nature energy after all , he still has some hope ...

After ensuring his survival , and feeling quite bored of the jungle he found himself in at the start , he tried finding a new objective for himself ...

he decided to travel far & leave the forest !!

this decision took him great courage to make , but he decided that his chances of encountering something that helps him become a chakra beast or master nature energy would be much less if he stayed in the forest ...

besides , he was extremely bored ...

thus ,after 6 months of being in this world , he moved to find a human settlement or a different environment...

it took him a few weeks to leave the forest ,and he began to enter various environments along the way ...

he passed swamps , deserts , lakes , rivers , other forests ...

he passed by mountains and hills , frozen tops & volcanoes ...

in each new environment, he stayed for some weeks to adapt and passed slowly through them ...

there is no pressing hurry , and he doesn't know where he can find humans , so he took it slowly ...

besides , Nature fascinated him , he never had a chance to see nature from the view of a resident animal as a human ...

it gave him a different feeling each time he entered a new environment, saw new animals ,ate new insects , hid or escaped from new predators ...

he adapted to each environment, and found that his body's ability to adapt is really extraordinary , he could adapt to completely different ecosystems , even extreme environments such as the freezing cold of a high mountain , the smoldering heat from an active volcano , the dryness of the desert , the dampness of the swamp , the winds of a storm , the crushing pressure underwater ...

all this affected him , and he felt that he really grew each time he adapted to a new environment, each time he felt like he entered a new world, then conquered it with his body ...

each time he got a new feeling , saw the death & birth of animals & insects ,saw the life of trees and plants , amd felt the nature all around him ...

his sensitivity to nature energy has greatly grown , and he was sure that he would be able to master it if he found a suitable place rich in nature energy , such as the three famous sage lands ...

Now ,his body is as big as a monkey after a few years, with shiny black skin covered with slime ...

Finally ,after a few years , he found a human caravan passing on a road in front of him ,while he was hiding in a nearby position ....
