Although he already knew the spell effect of this miniature bonsai wasn't as unsolvable as he had imagined, Retsu was still full of curiosity about it.
The people inside could not only live normally but even farm and cultivate; it was practically a "beggar's version of a grotto-heaven."
He decided to let a Shadow Clone go in to investigate; after all, even if the Shadow Clone encountered danger, it could be dispelled at any time without concern.
Feeling the spell energy wrapping around its body, the Shadow Clone did not struggle; instead, it restrained the Chakra within its body and allowed its body to shrink rapidly. With a flash of light, the shrunken Shadow Clone was steadily sucked into the bonsai and disappeared.
"Hmm? Your clone entered that bonsai?" Standing outside the door, Kikyo saw this scene clearly. Her eyes were full of surprise as she turned to look at Retsu.
"It's the spell effect of the bonsai, it's fine." Retsu's expression was calm. "It's just a Shadow Clone anyway, just wait a bit longer." He wasn't worried; if the Shadow Clone encountered danger, it would dispel immediately, and then he would clearly know the situation inside.
At this time, the Shadow Clone that had entered the Bonsai World landed steadily from mid-air. Looking up, he was already standing next to a village; the miniature houses he had seen from the outside were now back to their normal size.
He bent down to grab a handful of soil and squeezed it hard; the texture was no different from real soil.
He then pulled up a grass stalk from nearby; after snapping it, a yellow-green sap with the fragrance of green grass slowly overflowed.
If he hadn't known in advance that he was currently inside a bonsai, he would have noticed almost no abnormality.
Clearly, the land and plants here were moved in after being shrunken from the outside, exactly the same as his current state.
Standing up and looking at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds were exactly the same as the outside world; there was even a sun hanging high, shedding warm sunlight, instead of the roof above the bonsai he had expected.
Retsu became increasingly curious about the production method of this bonsai; it was practically a real small world.
While the Shadow Clone observed the surroundings, people from the village passed by from time to time. But they had no reaction to the suddenly appearing Shadow Clone, performing their own tasks with numb expressions.
Clearly, they were long accustomed to people "joining or disappearing from time to time" in this captive land, which also sufficed to show that Peach Fruit Person often captured people from the outside and threw them into the bonsai to be kept.
The Shadow Clone ignored these humans who were treated as nutrients for the demon tree and strolled around the Bonsai World at will.
He went to the farmland to take a look and found that the crops were growing well; he also saw a lush tree nearby. Clearly, the plants here could also grow normally.
This Bonsai World wasn't very large, and the Shadow Clone soon finished a full circuit.
