“Fourth Mizukage, please put it on.”
“After this, you will officially be the Mizukage of Kirigakure.”
Naoki nodded slowly and put on the hat.
Amidst thunderous applause, the ceremony ended, and with that final step, Naoki became the legitimate Mizukage.
The end of the ceremony signified the Daimyo’s approval and the system’s recognition.
In an instant, a mechanical voice devoid of emotion rang in his ears.
【Kirigakure has withdrawn from the Third Shinobi World War and claimed victory, earning 5 exchange points】
【You have become the Mizukage, unlocking the complete system】
“Open the system.”
Naoki murmured quietly, and with those words, a transparent screen popped up before him.
【Kirigakure System】
【Available Ninja World Black Technologies: Secret Blood Elixir (restores vitality and chakra), Kekkei Genkai Seeds (can be inscribed with genes to absorb and modify the human body, enhancing strength)】
【Available Secret Techniques: Flying Thunder God Technique, Eight Gates, Uzumaki Sealing Techniques, etc.】
【(Unlocked) Available Characters: Mei Terumi, Zabuza Momochi】
【Current Exchange Points: 18】
【Current Exchange Fragments: 0】
【Mizukage Bonus: Gene Inscription (can obtain gene templates from ninjas who join Kirigakure and inscribe Kekkei Genkai into Kekkei Genkai Seeds)】
【Note: Policy bonuses have been removed. As Kirigakure progresses, new Mizukage bonuses can be obtained】
For a moment, the chaotic panel dazzled Naoki’s eyes.
At the same time, a torrent of information surged into his mind, causing his eyes to light up.
The exchange option for Kekkei Genkai had disappeared.
However, there was a new way to obtain Kekkei Genkai.
Kekkei Genkai Seeds!
This way, he no longer needed to endure the painstaking wait for exchange points to acquire Kekkei Genkai.
In the future, as long as ninjas join Kirigakure, he can obtain gene templates from them.
He could then use gene inscription to implant these templates into the Kekkei Genkai Seeds.
Afterward, the Kekkei Genkai Seeds, with the gene templates, could be implanted into his body, allowing it to read and transform, forming Kekkei Genkai.
Naoki clenched his fist in excitement.
This not only made obtaining Kekkei Genkai easier but also raised the potential ceiling.
Based on the system’s information, Kekkei Genkai Seeds also indicated a future possibility.
The Ice Release fruit he once consumed was also gene-based, derived from a powerful Ice Release ninja, with a high potential ceiling.
This gave him the potential to become a Kage-level Ice Release user.
But compared to the future potential implied by Kekkei Genkai Seeds, this ceiling seemed low.
For him, as long as more and more ninjas with excellent Kekkei Genkai genes joined Kirigakure or more exceptional ninjas were born in Kirigakure.
He could continuously absorb excellent genes, thereby forging the most flawless power of the Kekkei Genkai.
Moreover, with the existence of Kekkei Genkai Seeds, he could theoretically plunder Kekkei Genkai from the entire world without limit.
But why would I do that?
Time is limited.
Mindlessly stacking Kekkei Genkai will not fundamentally change his power; at best, it will allow him to progress further on the path to surpassing Kage.
But going further on the path of surpassing Kage, what does that achieve?
Naoki seemed to see several figures ahead on the path to godhood and shook his head helplessly.
What good are more Kekkei Genkai?
In front of the Six Paths, they still stand no chance, and they would still be beaten senseless by Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Years later, Naruto and Sasuke will still be the protagonists of the world, and everything he worked to change will be toys for them to play with.
Urashiki using the Ghost Pillar technique is proof of that.
Naoki tightened his grip on his hat, not letting the sudden burst of happiness cloud his mind. Instead, he stayed incredibly clear-headed.
Only by making Shikotsumyaku and Byakugan undergo a qualitative change can they reach the Six Paths level.
Only by learning Sage techniques can mastery of natural forces be enhanced.
Only by using the Kekkei Genkai Seeds to strengthen various chakra natures, aiding his pursuit of the Kekkei Mora, would he be on the right path.
Clearing his mind, he resumed his duties, continuing with his administrative work.
It wasn’t until nightfall that he finally had some free time.
Returning to his room, he immediately activated his evolved Byakugan, thoroughly examining his body once again.
The faint glow emanating from his white bones was Yang Release chakra, and Yin Release chakra was the dark glow connected to the Byakugan.
The shimmering blue was water nature chakra, while the other chakras squeezed into the corners were earth, wind, fire, and lightning.
Using these evolved eyes, he could clearly see the strengths and weaknesses of each chakra nature within his body.
As a member of the Kaguya clan, inheriting the Sage’s bones, his body naturally possessed the most dominant Yang Release chakra.
In his eye sockets, those unique, evolved Byakugan provided him with strong Yin Release chakra.
Yang Release was the strongest within him, followed by Yin Release, then water nature, but the other natures were pitifully weak.
Naoki shook his head.
To pursue the Kekkei Mora, he needed to find strong ninjas with those other natures, acquire their genes, and cultivate Kekkei Genkai Seeds, gaining greater elemental strength.
But that’s not all.
He also needed to evolve Shikotsumyaku and the Byakugan to the Six Paths level during this time. Otherwise, against Six Paths-level enemies, he would have no chance.
Considering the synergy between his eyes and body, he also needed to evolve his Shikotsumyaku continuously.
The path was clear.
Gather strong ninjas with various elemental affinities, obtain their genes, cultivate Kekkei Genkai Seeds, and pursue the Kekkei Mora.
At the same time, evolve his Shikotsumyaku and Byakugan further, reaching the Six Paths level.
It’s a pity.
Naoki shook his head, reviewing the genetic templates in his mind, realizing there were no better genes within the Kaguya clan than his own.
Therefore, to evolve Shikotsumyaku, he could only enhance his body to increase its capacity for Shikotsumyaku’s power.
Pondering his previous assumptions.
Gathering Uzumaki clan’s Sage bodies and evolving the Byakugan could both provide further potential for Shikotsumyaku.
Previously, he might not have had the chance to evolve the Byakugan.
But the appearance of Kekkei Genkai Seeds meant that he could have a better chance if he could recruit enough talented branch members from Konoha.
After all, talented individuals don’t only appear in the main family.
In addition, to gather Uzumaki’s genes, the journey to the Land of Grass to meet Karin Uzumaki needed to be expedited.
Karin Uzumaki, we will meet soon.
Pondering this, it took him a while until the sky outside brightened, and Naoki got up to leave.
The final piece of the Rainbow Organization’s early-stage puzzle Hizashi.
The key figure to leverage the Hyuga branch family Hizashi.
Please, you must show me if there is a way to unlock the Caged Bird seal.
“Um, Clan Leader, Mizukage-sama, you can’t go in now.”
A beautiful woman from the Kaguya clan stood before Hizashi’s door, frantically waving her hands. When Naoki stopped, she quickly pointed inside.
Following her gesture, Naoki focused and immediately heard some unusual sounds from inside. He was about to turn away but said.
“Don’t come this afternoon, I need to talk to Hizashi.”
“No need, Mizukage-sama.”
The beautiful woman firmly responded.
“It won’t take long, I promise not to waste your time.”
Taking two steps forward, Naoki quickly understood her meaning.
He stopped and asked seriously.
“Have you been taking care of Hizashi? He hasn’t been completely incapacitated, has he?”
“Of course, Mizukage-sama. Also, can you open more qualifications soon? I have many friends who also want to join.”
Naoki’s face darkened, shaking his head immediately.
“No.”
Hearing this, the beautiful woman sighed.
“Clan Leader, Mizukage-sama, preserving the Byakugan bloodline benefits the Kaguya clan and Kirigakure. You’re too rigid.”
Before she finished, the door suddenly opened, and a somewhat disgruntled but still excited woman stepped out.
Seeing the blue and white robes, she quickly bowed.
“Mizukage-sama.”
“Mm.”
Naoki was about to enter when he stopped, remembering something, and asked the blushing woman.
“Is everything cleaned up inside?”
“Sorry, Mizukage-sama, please wait a moment.”
The women waiting outside suddenly realized, rushing in.
After a few minutes, Naoki entered to find Hizashi sitting upright, clutching a teacup with a livid expression.
Entering the room and sitting down, about to speak, Naoki saw Hizashi’s sunken eyes and trembling body, his tone softened.
“Hizashi.”
“Naoki Kagu
ya, don’t pretend to recruit me.”
Hizashi immediately interrupted with a bitter voice.
“I assume the Kaguya clan has enough Byakugan seeds. Quickly sell me for a good price and send me back to Konoha.”
By the end, usually known for his rigidity and propriety, Hizashi couldn’t contain himself.
“Of course, Hizashi, we are relatives, I wouldn’t make things hard for you.”
“This time, I’m here to give gifts and say goodbye.”
Hearing Naoki, Hizashi took a deep breath, his guard not easing.
This is Naoki, a Kirigakure man who previously arranged for women to seize the Byakugan madly, why would he let me go?
As his mind raced, Naoki’s words reached Hizashi’s ears.
“I heard that besides the children in Kirigakure, there’s a little boy named Neji just born in Konoha.”
