As a slight feeling of dizziness faded, everyone returned to the familiar Immortal Village courtyard.
A huge grill had already been set up in the center of the courtyard, and the charcoal was crackling loudly.
Next to it, a mountain of beef chunks was piled up, along with various sauces and fresh vegetables, the aroma already filling the air.
"Wow! Barbecue!"
Naruto was the first to rush over, reaching out to grab a piece of raw beef, but Shun gently tapped his hand.
"What's the rush? Wash your hands first."
Shun smiled and handed him a basin of warm water.
"Everyone worked hard in combat today, eat more to replenish your strength."
Everyone laughed and dispersed, some to wash their hands, others to help skewer the meat.
Lee rolled up his sleeves and voluntarily took on the task of grilling the meat.
As he turned the grill, he excitedly said, "Fighting the wild ox today was so exhilarating. Using Natural Energy to enhance my taijutsu, I could knock back an ox with a single punch. This feeling of power is amazing."
"What are you talking about?"
Naruto bit into a skewer of meat, vaguely retorting, "In the end, I used Sage Art: Rasengan to pin the ox to the ground so it couldn't get up. Next time, I'm going to challenge an even bigger ox."
"Naruto, give it a rest."
Sasuke leaned against a pillar, holding a skewer of grilled meat, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"You almost got sent flying at the beginning. If I hadn't reminded you to pay attention to its weak points, would you have won so quickly?"
"Sasuke, don't get ahead of yourself. Next time I'll definitely be stronger than you."
Naruto immediately put down his skewer and was about to argue with Sasuke, but Sakura pulled him back.
"Alright, we're eating, don't argue."
Sakura shook her head helplessly, then turned to Hinata. "Hinata, you were so amazing today, using Natural Energy with Gentle Fist to precisely seal the ox's acupoints."
Hinata's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently shook her head. "Not really, it's all because Shun-sensei taught me well, and Karin also helped me watch the ox's movements."
Hearing this, Karin smiled and waved her hand. "I just did a small thing, it's mainly you, Hinata, who's amazing. Oh, Yakumo, can you teach me your method of suppressing oxen using Mental Energy combined with Natural Energy? It seems very practical."
Yakumo nodded gently. "Of course, when we train tomorrow, I'll explain it to you in detail."
Everyone sat around the grill, eating tender grilled meat and enthusiastically discussing the afternoon's battle, occasionally bickering over whose move was more impressive, filling the courtyard with laughter and joy.
Shun sat to the side, watching the energetic youngsters before him, a gentle smile on his lips. Occasionally, he would add more charcoal or pass them some sauces.
After dinner, Naruto, rubbing his round belly, suddenly remembered something.
"Shun-sensei, we're already so strong with Natural Energy today, so how powerful is your Sage Art? Can you punch a Tailed Beast flying?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent, looking at Shun with curiosity.
Even the usually calm Sasuke's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation. Although he knew his father was strong, he had never seen him truly fight with full power.
Shun looked at their curious gazes and pondered for a moment. "Just telling you might not convey it, so why don't I take you somewhere to see it with your own eyes?"
With a wave of his hand, he opened a spatial gate, enveloping everyone.
This time, everyone's vision suddenly turned into a pitch-black void. Countless stars twinkled in the distance, and below was a blue planet covered in vast clouds. Many lightning bolts darted through the clouds, looking exceptionally spectacular.
"Wh-where is this?"
Sakura instinctively grabbed Tenten beside her, her voice filled with a hint of shock. "We... we're in space?"
"That's right, this is outer space."
Shun floated before them, a faint golden glow radiating from his body, resisting the cold and vacuum of the Universe.
"You just asked me how powerful my Sage Art is. In truth, power itself has no absolute strength or weakness. It can be used to destroy, but it can also bring new life. Today, I won't demonstrate the power of destruction. Instead, I'll show you what miracles Natural Energy combined with Sage Art can create."
He pointed to the blue planet below, which was currently covered in thick dark clouds, with torrential rain pouring down and lightning streaking through the clouds, clearly experiencing severe meteorological disasters.
Shun clapped his hands gently, and the dark clouds over the planet below dissipated at a visible speed.
The heavy rain stopped instantly, and even the howling winds gradually subsided. Sunlight pierced through the clouds, scattering across the planet's surface, forming a beautiful rainbow.
"Wow! The rain stopped and the wind too."
Naruto's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the distant planet, but only felt a cold void.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Shun raised his hand again.
Sage Art: Ice Release: Glacier Return!
Below, at the planet's north and south poles, white ice crystals suddenly began to condense. The ice crystals spread and stacked at an astonishing speed, quickly forming two towering ice mountains, crystal clear and radiating dazzling white light under the sunlight.
"Th-this... created the North and South Poles?"
Neji activated his Byakugan, watching the changes on the planet, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Without any external force, just with Sage Art, he can change the planet's topography."
Shun didn't stop. He clapped his hands again, softly saying, "Sage Art: Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence."
As his words fell, an astonishing scene unfolded.
On the barren land of the planet below, tender green shoots began to emerge. The shoots grew at a visible speed, quickly developing into towering trees.
Countless trees spread across the land, forming vast forests, and the entire planet instantly became vibrant with life.
"Too... too amazing..."
Lee clenched his fists, his eyes filled with adoration. "This is no longer ordinary Sage Art. It's practically... the power of a God."
Shun slowly raised his hands, and the Chakra around his body began to surge violently. He clapped his hands.
Six Paths: Sage Art: Chibaku Tensei!
A large number of meteorites collided, eventually forming a red satellite (Moon), which revolved around the blue planet below.
"Th-this is... the moon?"
Naruto's mouth hung open, his voice trembling slightly. "Shun-sensei, you... you just created a moon?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the brand new moon before them, then at the calm Shun, their hearts filled with nothing but awe.
They had never imagined that someone could possess such terrifying power, capable of creating a celestial body by themselves.
Looking at their shocked expressions, Shun said calmly, "Actually, the Ancestral Planet where you all live now was also created by me in this way."
"Wh-what?"
Naruto almost thought he had misheard. "The Ancestral Planet, was it created by you, sensei?"
