To be honest, Shiraishi felt a bit disappointed after reading the scroll. However, upon further contemplation, it was understandable.

If the method for practicing sage mode was clearly stated in the scroll, then Ruri wouldn't need to give it to him personally.

Shiraishi had reached a bottleneck in his chakra research and needed something new to deepen his understanding.

Originally, he hoped to gain inspiration from sage art, but the knowledge in the scroll proved to be of little use to him.

No... Giving up so easily wasn't his style. In fact, there is still some value in the information contained in the scroll.

Although it doesn't provide specific instructions on how to integrate with nature and sense its energy, if the assumption is correct, then understanding the process of integration and feeling the existence of natural energy is crucial.

Therefore, integration with nature is the key. How does one achieve integration?

Shiraishi took out the notes he had previously written about chakra.

Through his research, he had uncovered hidden information about chakra.

For instance, the synthesis of chakra can be traced. The combination of physical and spiritual energy forms a stable "system." By following this system, chakra can be consistently produced.

And in the case of senjutsu, natural energy is added to this "system."

From a two-energy system to a stable three-energy system.

The system of senjutsu must exist and be stable and sustainable.

There is a profound connection between ordinary chakra and senjutsu chakra.

This connection might hold the key to attracting natural energy.

So, how does one use ordinary chakra to induce natural energy?

What role does ordinary chakra play when merging with nature?

"The production of physical energy can be achieved through physical exercise or by consuming essential nutrients. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are oxidized in the human body and are necessary for maintaining bodily functions..."

Spiritual energy is related to consciousness. More broadly, it is linked to the soul.

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan can only be activated under highly emotional states. According to Ruri, this also relates to spiritual energy.

Therefore, emotions can be considered mental energy... or more precisely, the intensity of one's emotions depends on their mental strength.

At the end of his notes, Shiraishi wrote down his conclusions.

Chakra is influenced by the individual's daily intake of vital substances, their emotional state, and their innate soul and physical strength.

These factors affect the efficiency of chakra refinement.

He solved the issue of the source of ordinary chakra and further analyzed the specific sources of physical energy and spiritual energy.

As for natural energy, it comes from the air and the earth—ubiquitous.

"I'm constantly breathing in air. Does that count as absorbing natural energy?"

Shiraishi gazed at the dark night sky outside his window, feeling the refreshing breeze, and mused to himself.

Hmm, this seems quite fascinating.

....

Another Sunday had arrived, a day off from training.

Shiraishi visited the renowned Uchiha clan.

It was like a village within a village.

The Uchiha clan was situated far from the heart of Konoha. Honestly, for a wealthy family, its location was somewhat distant from the village's core.

After all, the Uchiha clan held significant authority as the village's military police force.

How immense was their power? For instance, under normal circumstances, even the Anbu couldn't freely command them. He needed to present an order from the Hokage.

On the other hand, the Uchiha clan's police force didn't require such an order. They could apprehend anyone they deemed necessary, although the final judgment had to be arbitrated by the Hokage.

But this also meant that the Uchiha clan's police force wielded more power than the Hokage's direct subordinates, the Anbu.

For a ninja, possessing too much power would inevitably lead to a tragic end.

However, this was the Uchiha clan. Together with the Senju clan, they had founded Konoha. As the two founding clans of the village, it was natural for them to possess such authority.

And only individuals from this clan were qualified and capable of managing the military police force.

Upon his first entrance into the Uchiha clan, Shiraishi encountered a massive and luxurious building—the headquarters of the Uchiha clan's police force.

At the entrance, two Uchiha Chunin guards were usually stationed.

When they saw a visitor like Shiraishi entering the Uchiha clan, they didn't halt him or chase him away.

The Uchiha clan didn't prohibit outsiders from visiting as long as they didn't provoke any trouble. In fact, they were quite accommodating... right?

According to the map provided by Ruri, Shiraishi searched for the location of her house within the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan covered a vast area, and as Shiraishi looked for Ruri's residence, he passed by numerous large training grounds.

The area surrounding the shop was bustling as well. Shiraishi occasionally spotted non-Uchiha adults shopping there, indicating a harmonious coexistence.

Though Shiraishi had heard that the Uchiha of the police force were arrogant, he had only heard about it from others and had never actually witnessed their arrogance.

However, it was unreasonable to expect every member of a family to have the same personality. Some individuals would naturally be more aggressive if others were milder.

Just like some civilians in Konoha who weren't entirely honest—Shiraishi had been scammed while dining out and encountered troublemakers on the streets.contemporary romance

Most people, whether wealthy ninjas or commoners, were ordinary individuals fulfilling their duties. They were honest, kind, and possessed many admirable qualities.

Thus, it was unfair to judge them all based on stereotypes.

As Shiraishi contemplated these thoughts, he arrived at the glass house at the end of the road on the map.

Looking at the enormous mansion before him, Shiraishi was in awe. It was the most luxurious residence he had encountered on his way. None of the mansions he had seen previously could compare to it.

Upon visual inspection, he estimated that the mansion covered an area of several thousand square meters.

Through the walls, he caught a glimpse of cherry blossom trees in full bloom within the courtyard. A few pink petals drifted from the trees, releasing a fragrant aroma.

His first impression was the sheer size of the mansion.

His second observation was that the Ruri family was incredibly wealthy.

A property of this magnitude would easily cost hundreds of millions of ryo.

Shiraishi couldn't help but feel that his own living situation was no different from that of a doghouse..

"Hello, are you here to see Ruri-sama?"

The young woman in a kimono, who was engaged in cleaning, noticed Shiraishi standing at the door. She paused her work, approached him with a gentle smile, and asked.

"Yes, I'm Chiba Shiraishi. I believe I was invited."

Upon hearing Shiraishi's introduction, the maid in the kimono continued to smile gently and nodded.

"Please come with me. Ruri-sama is waiting for you inside."

The maid's actions and mannerisms were flawless, and she used honorifics appropriately.

Shiraishi followed the maid into this extraordinarily large mansion.

The buildings here were mainly constructed from 200-year-old cedar trees. The corridors' planks were clean and translucent, creating a soft ambiance.

Most doors and windows were simple and transparent. There was a pond in the courtyard, surrounded by old trees of various species, each showcasing its age.

As Shiraishi walked through the corridors, he encountered several maids passing by. They were all dressed neatly in kimonos and greeted Shiraishi with kind smiles, clearly displaying their polite nature.

Cleaning such a large mansion must be no easy task, even with so many maids.

And this was just a small portion of the front yard.

Ruri resided in the largest house located in the backyard. The maid slid open the wooden door and bowed respectfully to the occupants inside.

"Ruri-sama, the guest has arrived."

"You may leave."

"Understood."

The maid followed Ruri's instructions and departed.

Shiraishi entered the room, casting curious glances around.

The vast space was almost empty, with only a few cushions and a short tea table. Aside from that, there was only a polished wooden floor that exuded a high-end atmosphere.

The simple life of a capitalist.

Shiraishi suddenly halted his train of thought.
