The Next Day…

As the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, Peter was already up and preparing for the day ahead. He had a promise to keep, and he intended to fulfill it. He decided to start with Iwagakure, the Hidden Stone Village, for one reason: Onoki's doubt in his abilities. The old Tsuchikage had been skeptical of Peter's offer to terraform their lands, and Peter was eager to prove him wrong.

But today wouldn't just be about terraforming. It was also a teaching moment for his new students, Itachi and Shisui. They had been training diligently under his guidance, and he thought this would be a good opportunity to show them more of the world outside the Hidden Leaf Village.

With the two boys in tow, Peter set off toward Iwagakure. The journey was swift, thanks to Peter's abilities, and soon enough, they stepped out of a portal, finding themselves outside the massive stone gates that guarded the entrance to the village.

As they neared the gates, Peter could sense the tension in the air. The guards stationed there were on high alert, their eyes narrowing suspiciously at the approaching trio.

Itachi and Shisui walked closely behind Peter, their expressions a mix of curiosity and apprehension. This was their first time visiting another village, and the imposing stone walls of Iwagakure only added to their nervousness.

When Peter and the boys were within earshot, one of the guards stepped forward, raising a hand to halt them. "Stop right there!" the guard barked. "State your business in Iwagakure!"

Peter smiled politely, trying to keep the interaction civil. "We're here to see the Tsuchikage. He should be expecting us."

The guards exchanged wary glances, clearly not convinced. "Ha! Yeah right," one guard replied, his tone gruff. "Turn back, or we'll be forced to take action."

Peter's patience was wearing thin, but he kept his composure. "I suggest you double-check with your superiors. The Tsuchikage and I have an arrangement."

The guards, however, were not so easily swayed. They remained on high alert, their hands hovering over their weapons. One of them, a bit more hot-headed than the others, sneered. "You expect us to believe that a stranger and two kids have an audience with the Tsuchikage? Do you think we're fools?"

Before Peter could respond, the guard who had spoken lunged forward, drawing his weapon with a swift motion. "I don't think so, outsider!" he shouted, charging straight at Peter.

Peter's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing in them. He could have killed the guard in an instant, but he tried to keep a level head. "Look, why don't we all just calm down," he said calmly, even as the guard closed in.

But the guard was too far gone, too consumed by his sense of duty—or perhaps his pride. He swung his weapon with deadly intent, aiming straight for Peter's head.

Itachi and Shisui tensed, their instincts screaming at them to move, to protect their sensei. But before they could react, a sudden blur of movement caught their attention.

Onoki, the Tsuchikage, appeared out of nowhere, his small frame moving with surprising speed and agility. He struck the guard with a powerful blow, sending him crashing to the ground, unconscious.

"Fools!" Onoki barked, glaring down at the guards who had dared to attack Peter. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?!" His voice was filled with fury, but also a tinge of fear.

The remaining guards froze, their eyes wide with shock. They had never seen their leader so angry—or so afraid.

Onoki turned to Peter and immediately bowed deeply, a gesture of both apology and respect. "I apologize for their actions, Peter. They didn't know who they were dealing with."

Peter shrugged, his expression indifferent. "It's fine," he said, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice. "No harm done."

Onoki straightened up, relief washing over his face at Peter's nonchalant response. He quickly barked orders to the nearby Anbu, who appeared in a flash, taking the unconscious guard and his shaken comrades away.

"Take them to the holding cells," Onoki commanded, his tone stern. "They need to be reminded of their duties."

The Anbu nodded and swiftly carried out their orders, disappearing as quickly as they had come.

With the situation under control, Onoki turned back to Peter. "Please, come in. We have much to discuss." He then glanced at Itachi and Shisui, offering them a respectful nod. "Your students are welcome as well."

Peter nodded, motioning for Itachi and Shisui to follow as they stepped through the gates…

Onoki led Peter, Itachi, and Shisui, deeper into the heart of Iwagakure. The presence of the Tsuchikage himself walking through the village was enough to draw attention, but when paired with a group that included Peter and two young Uchiha, it was impossible not to notice.

Villagers paused in their daily activities to stare, whispers spreading quickly through the crowd as they wondered what could possibly bring such a strange group together.

As they walked, Onoki began explaining the difficulties Iwagakure faced. "Our land is harsh and unforgiving," he said, gesturing to the rocky terrain around them. "The soil here is too tough for most crops to grow, and water sources are scarce. We have to work twice as hard as other villages just to maintain our food supply."

He glanced at Peter out of the corner of his eye, a hint of skepticism in his voice despite his earlier apology. "And while I appreciate your offer, I find it hard to believe you can turn this land into anything resembling the fertile grounds around Konoha. I'm not sure anyone could."

Peter simply smiled at Onoki's doubt, taking it as a challenge rather than an insult. "Seeing is believing, Onoki. Why don't we start now?"

Onoki raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced, but also intrigued by Peter's confidence. He had seen many things in his long life, but someone claiming they could terraform the land was new. "Very well," Onoki replied, a slight shrug in his shoulders as he motioned for them to follow him to a side entrance of the village.

They exited Iwagakure through a small gate, stepping out onto a wide expanse of barren, rocky terrain. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but jagged stones and dust, a stark contrast to the lush greenery of Konoha.

Onoki swept his arm out toward the desolate landscape. "Here you go, Peter. Let's see if your claims hold any weight."

Peter nodded, a confident grin on his face. He stepped forward, raising his hand in front of him. With a fluid motion, he conjured a golden spell circle in the air. The intricate lines and symbols of the circle began to draw themselves into completion, glowing brightly with an ethereal light.

Itachi and Shisui watched in awe, their eyes wide with anticipation. They had seen Peter do incredible things before, but this was something entirely new. Even Onoki, despite his skepticism, found himself holding his breath.

The spell circle shot out from Peter's hand, its golden glow spreading across the rocky terrain before them. As it struck the ground, a network of golden lines began to stretch out, weaving their way across the landscape like a web.

The transformation was immediate and awe-inspiring.

The hard, unforgiving rock began to soften, melting away to reveal rich, dark soil. The barren ground, once so inhospitable, now seemed to breathe with new life. Trees shot up from the earth, their roots digging deep into the freshly formed soil. Lush green leaves unfurled, stretching toward the sky as if reaching for the sun.

Lakes and rivers carved themselves through the ground, their waters flowing clear and fresh. The sound of rushing water filled the air, a stark contrast to the silence that had dominated the area just moments before.

Grass spread like a green carpet across the terrain, flowers blooming in a riot of colors as the golden lines continued to pulse with energy, transforming everything they touched.

Onoki watched in stunned silence, his eyes wide with disbelief. He had doubted Peter, had been certain that no one could change the harsh landscape of Iwagakure so dramatically. But here it was, happening right before his eyes. The barren wasteland was becoming a paradise, its once harsh surface now teeming with life.

"This… this is impossible…" Onoki muttered, his voice barely more than a whisper.

Peter turned to him, a knowing smile on his face. "Nothing is impossible, Onoki. Not if you have the right tools and the will to make it happen."

Onoki could only nod, still too shocked to form a proper response. He had spent decades ruling Iwagakure, had fought countless battles and seen things that most people could only dream of, but this… this was beyond anything he had ever imagined.

The transformation continued for several more minutes until finally, the golden glow began to fade, and the spell circle dissolved into the air. The land before them, once so barren and desolate, now stretched out in a vast expanse of fertile fields, forests, and flowing water.

Peter lowered his hand, turning to face Onoki. "Believe me now?"

Onoki, still in a state of shock, slowly nodded. "I… I don't know what to say. You've done the impossible..."

Peter chuckled softly. "Just consider it a new beginning for Iwagakure. And remember, this is just the start. There's still much work to be done, but with this, you'll have what you need to begin a new era of peace and prosperity for all villages."

Onoki glanced around, his expression a mixture of awe and gratitude. "Thank you, Peter. I… I never thought I would see this in my lifetime."

"No problem," Peter nodded, then turned to Itachi and Shisui, who were still staring wide-eyed at the transformed landscape. "Should we make a stop in the village to try some Iwagakure snacks before heading to the next one?"

The two boys nodded, still too stunned to speak. They had just witnessed a miracle, and it was clear that their training under Peter was going to be more extraordinary than they had ever imagined.
