Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja?

The rules should still be followed, no matter the path to becoming a god.

After all, Reiki, as a medical ninja, is currently the only one capable of performing psychological treatments effectively.

Although other villages can use their own methods to address their ninjas' mental states, their speed and efficiency are far inferior.

After an entire week, Reiki successfully resolved everyone's issues. During this time, he also received significant rewards.

Inside his house, Reiki accessed his system panel.

Looking at the system panel, Reiki took a deep breath. The impressive statistics reflected his tireless efforts over this period.

"It's time to check things out."

Reiki raised his hand and released his shadow clone. Then, he dispelled the barrier protecting the space and created a crack in the air. Without hesitation, he stepped into it.

A wave of dizziness passed, and Reiki found himself in the world he had visited three months prior.

"This world doesn't block chakra," he noted as his shadow clone remained intact, indicating that this dimension was connected to the ninja world but existed independently.

"Are you here?"

Before Reiki could reflect further, a small beast appeared before him.

"Ten-Tails?" Reiki asked instinctively as he recognized the creature.

"I no longer have a name; my original one was abandoned. Now, Lord Reiki, as the master of this world, you can name me," the small beast said submissively.

"Name?" Reiki pondered for a moment. "The Ten-Tails... that's true; it never had its own name. Only its Jinchuriki might know its true identity. Then I'll call you Wangyue."

"Thank you," the creature said as a radiant light enveloped its body.

Moments later, the creature's form grew larger and more majestic. The once small beast had transformed into a colossal entity, radiating elemental powers. Its snow-white body was adorned with bright red auspicious clouds, and its unicorn-like head exuded unparalleled majesty.

Even the chakra sacred tree in the distance, which had been dormant, began to sprout anew. As Wangyue grew, new branches extended from the sacred tree, reaching over ten meters tall and beginning to resemble a sacred tree.

The energy emanating from the tree wasn't drawn from the world's resources but from somewhere else entirely.

"This energy comes from you," Wangyue explained. "As long as we're in this world, our consciousnesses are connected."

"You… want to become a god?"

Reiki's heart sank as he processed Wangyue's words.

"Are you saying that possessing this world is the foundation for ascending to godhood? What do I need to do next?"

Wangyue responded, "What you've imagined is one path, but as you've seen, it's not easily achieved. Otsutsuki Ishiki once controlled a world but tried to make his body its core, greedily devouring all forms of energy. This led to his failure and the collapse of his world into a lifeless husk. I wouldn't recommend following that path."

"Then what other options exist?" Reiki asked.

"Sage Lands," Wangyue answered without hesitation.

"Sage Lands?" Reiki was taken aback. "Are you referring to the Sage Lands I know of?"

"Yes. The Sage Lands are the ideal choice for starting on the path to godhood. However, the process is lengthy, and it's uncertain if a god will ever truly emerge."

Reiki quickly connected the dots. Mount Myoboku, Shikkotsu Forest, and Ryuchi Cave were likely created by individuals who once controlled a world. Their physical bodies perished, but their Sage lands endured, offering a path for others to ascend.

This also explained why Sage Mode, derived from the Sage Lands, could counter the Otsutsuki clan—it utilized energy on a similar level.

"I understand now," Reiki said. "Wangyue, what does this world need for nourishment?"

Although Reiki had no desire to become a god and preferred to settle the affairs of the Otsutsuki clan before returning to his role as a medical ninja, he recognized the immense power this world offered.

Wangyue outlined the options:

Cultivate the nine tailed beasts within you to the point where they can exist independently. Seek out an established Sage Land and obtain its essence to awaken the origins of this world. Expand the world's origins by annexing other psychic realms.

Faced with these choices, Reiki fell silent, deep in thought.
