Energy Flows (Book Three)

**Energy Flows** is the third instalment novel in the Conquer The Ninja World series written by Takahashi-dono. It was published in October 2023 alongside its preceding novels.

## Book Description

Eight months have passed, and Jonathan Yuan is still in the world of ninjas. Plans falling apart, many of his adversaries gradually start to learn of his identity. However, he has no thoughts of going back on his actions. After being stagnant about slaying everything in this world, he continues to try and grow as fast and as strong as he possibly can.

## Plot Summary

The story continues eight months after Earth Falls. Jonathan Yuan finally completes his training at the Tree Sect Temple. Now able to combat even stronger opponents, he returns to the Sandy Sect and tests his skills on Romero, the current Desert lord. Able to defeat him, he takes some of his cells in order to gain Romero’s ancestral blood. The procedure backfires since the cells are incompatible.

While Jonathan is recovering, the elders from the Tree Sect begin discussing the events that transpired between him and their M.I.A. team. Meanwhile, Kannon is released from the hospital and is greeted by Icarus and Sigfried. The three discuss in secret about Jonathan’s recent activities, linking that he was the ninja that they had fought several years ago. With that information in mind, Icarus informs Izarra that the Jade Shinobi and Jonathan Yuan are one in the same—this is without knowing his real name.

After Jonathan’s recovery, he intervenes in the plot by finding a scientist named Sawyer. The two get into a skirmish, with Jonathan being able to easily overpower him. Using the night-eyes, he extracts a technique from Sawyer in order to modify his illusion technique.

Some time later, Jonathan returns to the Tree Sect upon discovering the day Sigfried was soon to die at the hands of Dan. The first place he ventures to is the hospital, where he was brought on the first day he arrived in the ninja world. There, he slays Shanice and Ikitsumi, causing a big commotion to spark in the Tree Sect. Using that as a distraction, he departs to where Sigfried and Icarus meet in secret.

The two Archons' conversation is interrupted when Jonathan suddenly arrives and cuts Sigfried’s arm off. Using his new illusion technique, Jonathan places Sigfried under his illusion, putting Icarus at a severe disadvantage. Just before Icarus is about to die, he is rescued by Izarra, who claims that he’s able to sense Jonathan’s presence due to him having her mother’s eyes implanted in him. This causes Jonathan to want to slay both her and Icarus. His attempts fail after Icarus awakens the cobalt night-eyes and places him under a powerful illusion. Batholith is able to break the illusion, leaving Jonathan’s body incapable of fighting. He uses what little mental strength he has to jump off a cliff in order to escape, just as Izarra awakens her cobalt night-eyes upon discovering that her sect’s been lying to her.

Jonathan manages to find a remote family and is forced to slay them for having seen his face. He eventually returns to Kyowakoku Jungle, where he has to revise his plans. Finding out that the laboratory he’d been waiting for for almost a year was nearing completion, he goes to visit it. There, he is greeted by Oliver and several ninjas accompanying him. Jonathan leads them into his laboratory to reveal that he’s not hiding anything. Still unconvinced that Jonathan isn’t a suspicious fellow, the group eventually starts fighting. Jonathan is forced to fake his own death by transporting both himself and his laboratory seconds before Oliver destroys the entire area.

With an unfinished laboratory at Kyowakoku Jungle, Jonathan decides to target a wanted ninja with a bounty on his head. Able to defeat that ninja, he collects the money and begins buying all the necessary items to repair the laboratory. Once the repairs are made, he spends countless weeks labouring in secret.

The world is eventually informed that he died at the hands of Oliver. When the news reaches Izarra, she doesn’t believe it and decides to leave the Tree Sect.

Jonathan, in the meantime, returns to the Tree Sect in order to take the main characters' DNA. Successful in this, he undergoes a complicated surgery for him to advance his night-eyes into the demiurge-eyes. The surgery is efficacious, but he fails to advance his night-eyes. To compensate for this loss, he decides to target the Outlaw organization. An epic battle ensues between him and four extremely skilled Outlaw members, including Icarus. As Jonathan is once again trapped by Icarus’s illusion technique, he manages to escape at the last second. The remaining Outlaw members are troubled until he abruptly leaves.

Back at Kyowakoku Jungle, Jonathan is seen standing on a tree branch. He stretches forth his hand, causing an apple to soar across a river and land on his arm. Taking a bite, he quotes a scripture from the Holy Bible, content that he finally awoke the demiurge-eyes.
