ALL NOVEL Chapter 5: ch5
"Currently, students with Lightning and Earth attributes don't need to panic. You are most likely aligned with the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth. These are the two most powerful countries in the world of the Divine Tree."
"As for Fire and Wind attributes, you are likely from the Land of Fire or the Land of Wind, so that's fine."
"Only Water attribute students should note that the Land of Water is weaker than the previous four countries, but it is still considered a major nation. It is acceptable even if there are no options from the four major countries."
"But you must not choose small countries like the Land of Taki. They are at war now. Going there is no different from seeking death."
"Once you die three times, you will not be able to enter the world of the Sacred Tree for the rest of your life. It is equivalent to having a shortcut in life cut off and half of your future ruined. Remember?"
"Remember." Many students said in unison.
Mr. Carter nodded and continued, "After your identities are bound, you can enter the world of the Sacred Tree wherever there are sacred tree vines in major cities. At that time, the school will give everyone a ten-day holiday, allowing you to enter for the first time and strive to stay until the full ten days are over."
"In this way, your chances of triggering tasks in the world of the Sacred Tree will be maximized. However, you must be sensible when accepting tasks. If you are beyond your capabilities, you would rather give up than be greedy."
"Everyone must keep this in mind for the rest of their lives. Many people fall into greed, including even strong individuals like Elite Jōnin and Kage."
"Teacher, how can we determine what attributes we have?" a student asked.
The mission feels very distant to them now. What everyone is concerned about is the issue of identity. Everyone wants to join a powerful force.
John Smith was also listening carefully and analyzing simultaneously.
However, Mr. Carter's words were very vague, and he was not sure whether everything in the world of the Sacred Tree was the same as the plot of the original work. He could only confirm it after entering it in person.
Mr. Carter continued, "This is simple. Twenty years ago, when there was no Sacred Tree, every graduate still needed to use Chakra test paper to check their attributes."
"However, after the appearance of the Sacred Tree, the Chakra test paper is basically useless. The first time you enter the Sacred Tree Space, you will receive a Sacred Tree Bracelet, which is your personal panel. For example..."
Mr. Carter spoke as the Chakra flowed through his body, and a deadwood-colored bracelet tattoo on his right wrist lit up slightly. Suddenly, a translucent light curtain-like display about half a meter in diameter appeared in front of him, showing detailed information.

So amazing!
The students who saw the personal panel for the first time exclaimed, and some curious students immediately spoke.
"Teacher, do the four numerical values represent potential?"
"Yes." Mr. Carter thought for a moment, and the panel disappeared. Smiling, he explained, "The full value of each dimension is 10. The higher the value, the more talented a person is in that field."
"For example, I have been physically strong since I was a child and have been practicing Taijutsu for many years, so my 'Taijutsu' score is high."
"Does 'Taijutsu' represent Taijutsu? 'Ninjutsu' represents Ninjutsu, and 'Genjutsu' represents Genjutsu. But what does 'Stamina' represent?" Another girl stood up to ask.
Mr. Carter waved his hand for her to sit down and continued, "What Lisa said is basically correct, but 'Taijutsu' means not only physical skills but also physical strength and even vitality."
"If Chakra is the foundation of a powerful ninja, then the body is the fundamental container. Only the stronger the body, the more Chakra you can have."
"According to what I learned, the Chakra of 'Hanzo the Salamander,' the demigod of the Ninja World in the Divine Tree World, was extremely vast. Although he was later defeated by three young genius ninjas from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, it was enough to prove his power."
"Wow, that's so interesting. Are these your personal experiences, teacher? Teacher, please tell us more stories about the world of the Sacred Tree!"
"As a humble Chūnin, I don't have access to these top people. I heard this all from hearsay."
"We will have many opportunities to come into contact with the Divine Tree World in the future, so let me explain the function of the personal panel first." Mr. Carter chuckled and delved into the essentials.
"'Genjutsu' represents spiritual power and the talent for learning Ninjutsu. From now on, you..."
"That sounds pretty good." John began to think after understanding and whispered, "Hanzo is probably still wary of the Third Hokage deliberately letting the Sannin go."
Although he had been reborn for more than ten years and had forgotten many details of the original work, he still remembered major events clearly.
The Uchiha massacre must have happened in Konoha during Year 55, but he forgot the exact year World War II ended. However, he remembered the approximate time, which was about ten years before the night of the massacre.
The Sannin should be around thirty-five years old now. Hanzo is likely still wary of killing Hiruzen Sarutobi's three precious disciples and provoking him, as in the original novel, leading him to personally lead a large army to destroy the Land of Rain.
In this way, it seems that the main plot of the World of the Divine Tree has not deviated and still follows the original work, which gives John some relief.
"What Third Hokage? What Sannin? John, what are you mumbling about again?" Ashley, who had sharp hearing, was confused. She had never heard of this before.
"It's nothing," John said naturally. "I heard what others said on the road before, but now the teacher suddenly reminded me of it."
"Oh, don't listen blindly to what others say. It could lead you astray," Ashley warned seriously.
"These situations happen all the time. My father once believed in other people's information and suffered a big loss. He died once in the world of the Sacred Tree."
"Your father?" John had never heard Ashley mention it before, and he was immediately curious.
"What kind of strength does he have? The leader of the Byakugan clan should be at the Kage level."
"No." Ashley stuck out her tongue, "My father isn't that powerful. He's an Elite Jōnin, but he's not far from the Kage level."
"Impressive," John gave a thumbs up. "No wonder so many big figures in society usually fawn over you. Once they get close to your Thompson family, they rise to the top."
"Hmph, now you know how powerful this girl is?" Ashley hummed proudly. She liked to be praised, especially by John, who usually didn't say nice things about her.
"But why do you come to school if you're so good?" John asked.
"It stands to reason that your family's cultivation environment isn't comparable to many places in the entire Divine Tree Continent, right?"
"My father said he wanted me to have a complete life," Ashley said proudly. "Otherwise, I might have almost become a Chūnin by now. He wanted me to spend my schooling period like an ordinary person."
"That's insightful." John agreed with Ashley's father's approach.
Compared to people who stay at home and practice behind closed doors all year round without any social experience, he preferred to integrate into society and let development occur naturally.
"It's not just me. Basically, every direct descendant of a big family is like this. These are the best growth routes that generations of big families have proven over time," Ashley said proudly and continued.
"When Chakra exceeds 10 cards, the ninja will experience a short burst of strength. It is normal for geniuses to refine one or two cards of Chakra every day."
"We, the children of wealthy families, will have plenty of resources and time in the future to slowly make up for the slowdown in our ninja apprenticeships over the years."
