Chapter 52 The Person Treated Gently by the World

When the power of Wood Release was applied to the tree trunk that was about to die, Sakura felt as if her whole body was filled with it.

That's right, this is the power of Wood Release, completely filled!

However, Uchiha Rin was not very familiar with using it, and after all, this was the modern world, so he couldn't make too much of a commotion.

The life energy of the entire tree is concentrated on one branch, and then the branch is cut off.

"Sakura, right? Your current form is this tree branch. Natsume will take your original form home and replant it. Is that alright?"

Her body transformed from an entire tree into a single branch, and Luo Ying could feel her power being weakened by more than half. Conversely, her life force was steadily increasing.

The cat teacher squinted.

"Oh? You can convert your own energy into plant life force! That's a truly special ability; you could say it's a treasure trove for all plant spirits."

Natsume looked at the increasingly solidified cherry blossoms in surprise, and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Let's go home, Cherry Blossom, you come with us...home too!"

After receiving the Book of Friends left by his grandmother, Natsume finally met a yokai... who belonged only to him.

After all, because of the Book of Friends, most of the yokai that Natsume encounters are searching for his grandmother in order to find his name.

The only person those monsters waited for, longed for, and formed bonds with was Natsume Reiko.

Sakura nodded, then bowed deeply to Uchiha Ling Shen. If it weren't for the immense life force he had bestowed upon her, she wouldn't have been able to leave with Natsume, and her own life would have ended much sooner.

"Natsume, is that your pet pig on your shoulder?"

"Pig? You little tree spirit, who are you calling a pig?! I'm a cat, Natsume's cat teacher!"

Luo Ying was stunned for a moment. "Aren't you a pig demon? Don't real cats look like this?"

As she spoke, Luo Ying pointed to Yan Yun beside Uchiha Ling.

I'm so angry! Why does everyone think Yanyun is prettier than his cat teacher?! He's the cute and lovable lucky cat, okay...?

Carrying cherry blossom branches, the two, along with a cat and a pig, embarked on their journey home.

Looking at the tree branch in his hand, Uchiha Ryo closed his eyes helplessly. He was almost at three thousand points!

He'd almost finished mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique! But he ended up using Wood Release instead. While Wood Release is powerful, in this world... does he really dare to plant trees on a large scale in a modern city?

Therefore, compared to the more powerful Wood Release, Uchiha Ryo still prefers the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he only has Hashirama's Wood Release, but not Hashirama's massive amount of chakra.

However, this is the first time I've ever redeemed something like this... and it's not for myself.

In the past, whether it was stimulating or consuming G-spots, Uchiha Ryo's actions were mostly aimed at making himself stronger.

But now, Uchiha Ryo feels honored to have been able to help Natsume. Therefore, he doesn't regret almost sacrificing his G-spot for Wood Release. Perhaps he should change his mindset... After all, the original intention of Wood Release was to protect his family, friends, and everyone he cares about.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Ryo first planted cherry blossom branches in Natsume's yard, and then used Wood Release to promote their growth.

Soon, the branch, which was originally just over a meter long, began to take root, grow, and gradually turn into a sapling about two meters long.

"Although I can continue to help her grow, it won't be easy to explain to Aunt Tago and the others. However, I will come over every now and then, and it should take about a year for the cherry blossom to return to its original size."

Natsume nodded in understanding; that was enough.

"Natsume, Natsume, let me be your shikigami! That way I can protect you!"

The cherry blossom flew around the courtyard once before landing in front of Natsume and speaking.

However, to Sakura's dismay, Natsume shook his head slightly. "Sakura, from today onwards you are my family, not some shikigami. I don't need you to fight anymore, understand?"

"oh....."

Uchiha Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that today's matters had come to a satisfactory conclusion, so he would head back now.

"Brother Ling, let me take you."

As he stepped out of the courtyard, Uchiha Ryo stopped and looked at Natsume behind him.

"You should go back and rest. I'm going back to rest too."

Natsume didn't move, but quietly looked at Uchiha Ryo. "Ryo-nii, Nyanko-sensei just secretly told me that life energy is one of the most powerful energies in the world. Under normal circumstances, it can't be converted, it can only be... transferred."

In Natsume's view, Uchiha Rin must have used his own life force to temporarily maintain Sakura's life force, so... he was a little worried.

"Haha, that's for ordinary people. I just tend to run out of energy quickly."

Natsume frowned. "But..."

Uchiha Ryo reached out and tapped Natsume's forehead with his finger.

"Although we are not related by blood, I will always be your brother! You are not the only one in this world who has been treated kindly."

.....

On Tuesday, when Uchiha Ryo reappeared at the main gate of Shuchiin Academy, he was surrounded by people.

That's right, Miyuki Shirogane was very worried about his friend and, after learning that his friend was sick and had taken leave from work, decided to visit him. Then he realized he didn't know where his friend lived...

Miyuki Shirogane extended his hand: "Uchiha..."

On the other side, Chitanda Eru and Amakusa Shino arrived in front of Uchiha Ryo first. They both knew where Uchiha Ryo's house was, but to their surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita was also sick and had taken leave.

Chitanda Eru was worried and wanted to visit him, but Amakusa Shino stopped her.

"I think it's better not to go. It wouldn't be good if we disturbed them..." Amakusa Shino said meaningfully, her thoughts coinciding with those of two teachers.

After dealing with the two from the Classic Literature Club, Shirogane Miyuki was about to go up and greet them when Hayasaka Ai came up to Uchiha Ryo with concern, asking if he had recovered.

Accompanying Hayasaka Ai was a pink-haired girl, Fujiwara Chika. At the entrance to the school building, the sharp-eyed Uchiha Ryo also spotted Shinomiya Kaguya.

Miyuki Shirogane's outstretched hand froze in mid-air... Is this the difference in learning ability?! I've decided, I'll study hard too, and strive to reach Uchiha Ryo's level!
