Dragon Tree !
While he was meditating quietly in his abode , he didn't notice the time pass ...
Suddenly , while he was absorbing nature energy as usual , a strange thing happened , and a large amount of senjutsu energy escaped him out to the surroundings again !!
((( if he was in a xianxia world , this would be called cultivation deviation , amd cause serious injuries or even death ...
but thankfully , he isn't and the reason this strange thing happened is : )))
he also felt carefully , and felt that all the nature energy of the planet was gathering towards one place ...
the scale & the speed of gathering was really terrifying !
he carefully left his abode , and went there ...
there , he saw so.ething that made him remember his last life again ...
' it seems it will finally begin ...' he muttered internally ...
There , he saw a massive tree , which looked more like Vines twirled around themselves , and it was extending its roots all over the continent , and ravenous absorbing nature energy !
it seems like the god tree seed planted by the otsutsuki clan a thousand years ago , finally sprouted !
This tree is a great danger to the planet , but it is also a great opportunity to himself ...
as a reincarnator who knows the plot , he naturally knows what this tree is and what it will do , and who will come after it in the future ...
although eating its chakra fruit can make him nigh-omnipotent and greatly increase his strength , it will also make him insane ...
as for destroying it , although he can do it , but it is a bit of a waste ...
and he wants to keep the things as close to the original plot as possible , and he only made some changes that are beneficial to himself , and because the boredom was killing him ...
(((( it is mainly that I , Author-Sama, can't waste my brain cells to create new plot for you guys , so I'm sticking close to the Canon, and only making some slight changes ...
sorry , dear readers ))))
in the original show , it wasn't carefully explained how powerful the otsutsuki clan is , but it is apparent that a casual member like kaguya is already very powerful and can destroy planets , and that is after eating only one chakra fruit ...
how about an entire race full of such terrifying beings, and some of them may be even more powerful ?!
thus , he decided against destroying the tree, but he also doesn't want the tree to destroy this planet's life by devouring all nature energy in the world ...
In this world , unlike his previous one , nothing can survive without nature energy ....
or you can say , LIFE itself is part of nature energy , so the god tree will absorb all the planet's life ...
so , he decided to do a quite risky plan he thought about a lot before ...
Mainly , it can offer him great benefits , and also succefully save the planet which he treated as his own domain , as he considers himself the planet guardian ...
He will partially fuse with the divine tree !!!
This way , He can acquire its powerful DNA ,and at the same time , lessen its effects on the planet by partially controlling it and feeding it with some of his own energy ...
of course , he has some considerations in his heart , that the merits & good karma he gets from this , plus the faith energy he gets from humans who will come to worship the divine tree in the future ,will partially offset his own consumption ...
And so , he flew directly to the root of the divine tree , and it seemed as if he melted , transforming into thick conscious blood ,which seeped into the god tree gradually ...
__________________
becoming part of a tree was never once in his imagination , but it actually seems quite good ?!
anyways , he was meditating quietly in a safe place , and now his consciousness is meditating inside the tree , trying to slightly control it ...
it worked , bur it needed a lot of effort , which means that even if he tried to destroy the tree , he would be severely depleted ,and he wouldn't have the energy to face the otsutsuki clan's wrath after ,and they would still come again to plant another god tree after they succeed in killing him with their hack eyes ...
being the god tree itself is much better !
this tree has semi-consciousness , which is like a wild beast , ravenously devouring all nature energy , and even any lifeforms that come near are I stantly absorbed into nutrients ...
it is unlike any other tree ,which is good to the ecosystem and is the basis of all living beings ...
this tree is the bane of all living beings !
You can say it is a Devil Tree ,not a Divine Tree !
thankfully , he is currently inside the tree and manipulating it's consumption a bit , otherwise , the planet would be sucked dry of all life in a few decades ...
The steady stream of merit is already coming, and the planet's consciousness seemed to support him in halting the god tree's progress on devouring the planet ...
and the DNA of this God Tree is really Awesome !
the God Tree can absorb chakra & nature energy freely ...
it is also very gigantic , and has a fast growth speed , as it already spread all over the planet a few minutes after its initial sprouting ...
And he also found another interesting thing , this tree is actually the origin of Sharingan & Rinnegan , which is the Rinne-Sharingan !
Pure Otsutsuki clansman, like Kaguya , who haven't yet eaten a god fruit will not have sharingan or rinnegan ...
which means that sharingan isn't the natural evolution of byakugan , but it is a whole other thing , not related to otsutsuki family DNA at all, it's origin is actually the God Tree !
Anyways , bow , all he needs to do is wait ...
wait until kaguya arrives to eat the fruit , which is when he escapes the god tree , and leaves all this madness for kaguya to control ...
and waiting is all he did , until that happened ...
_____________
A woman with celestial appearance was running helplessly along her maid , running away from her husband's men who were hunting her down because of his weakness ...
as the woman neared the God Tree, her maid was shot by arrows , and killed cruelly ...
this strengthened the celestial woman's resolve, or made her insane , and she rushed to the God Tree , and used her power to pluck its already-mature fruit ...
although the fruit was a bit different from the records of her clan ...
originally, the fruit is described to be a white sphere of energy , but this white sphere has some red color swirling in it , as if blood !
But she didn't care to study carefully it since the men were already nearing her , and about to hunt her down !
She must save her life ,and more importantly , the lives of the children in her belly !
So despite the fruits apparent strangeness , she had no choice but bite down on the fruit and eat it !
