This day, Ryosuke finished his tasks and traveled to the world where Orochimaru resided, collecting the biological pheromones of 100 clones for the day.
Speaking of which, the world where Orochimaru exists is quite interesting.
Why?
Because the Kage of the five great ninja villages are entirely different from Ryosuke's memories.
The Kazekage of Sunagakure is not the original Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. Instead, it's a woman named Sunako.
In Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage is no longer Onoki but an elderly woman named Noko.
In short, aside from Konoha's Fourth Hokage being Orochimaru, the Kage of the other four villages have all turned into female versions of themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that every familiar face wasn't gender-swapped, Ryosuke would have called this a "girly parallel world".
Additionally, there's the parallel world where Kakashi is located.
And in that world, Naruto is a female version of himself.
However, unlike the previous world, this one is a full-fledged gender-swapped universe.
Not only have men turned into women, but women have also become men—many of them.
Ryosuke visited several times, finding it quite amusing.
He even witnessed Naruko shopping with Sasuke. They were holding hands.
At that moment, Ryosuke was stunned.
These two… could they really end up together?
Ten Days Later
Another ten days passed, and no new members joined the chat group.
There was an influx of newcomers half a month ago, but this time, an entire month had gone by with no activity.
This clearly didn't align with Ryosuke's previous speculation.
Still, this was normal.
After all, the way chat groups recruited members wasn't on a strict schedule.
One time, it could be half a month. The next, it might be a month or even two.
That wasn't unusual.
Aside from that, Ryosuke had accumulated millions of experience points and hundreds of charms.
But he planned to save more this time. So he hadn't used them yet.
Finally, the day arrived when the batch of gold talent entries Ryosuke had left to upgrade reached completion.
Sitting in the yard, he sipped freshly squeezed juice made by Mabui.
Mabui had been brought to Konoha after Ryosuke had attended a joint Chūnin exam held by Kumogakure.
Originally, the Fourth Raikage had opposed the idea.
However, faced with Ryosuke's overwhelming strength, even someone as headstrong as the Fourth Raikage had to yield.
After all, as the leader, he had to consider the well-being of his village.
Letting his emotions dictate his decisions would be reckless.
Besides, Ryosuke hadn't demanded Mabui's life. He simply stated that he found her well-suited to be his personal attendant.
Though still frustrating, it was an easier pill to swallow. Eventually, the Fourth Raikage agreed.
Mabui, for the sake of her village, had no choice but to comply.
After arriving in Konoha, Mabui reunited with an old friend—Yugito Nii.
Having someone familiar around gave her a sense of relief.
Over the next few days, she gradually adapted to her new life.
Now, instead of assisting the Raikage with village affairs, she served as Ryosuke's personal attendant.
And honestly, it was far easier. Managing a village was a demanding and complicated task.
But caring for one person?
Aside from the initial discomfort, it wasn't physically taxing at all. In fact, it was quite relaxed.
After all, as a ninja, Mabui's endurance far surpassed that of an ordinary person.
And so, after some time, she started to feel that this arrangement wasn't so bad.
Since Konan and Yugito had already been brought into the household, Ryosuke had been missing a proper attendant by his side.
And Mabui, with her striking presence, immediately caught his eye.
So, he took her back from Kumogakure.
Wouldn't that be considered disrespecting her wishes?
Not at all.
Ryosuke had personally asked Mabui if she was willing and she had said yes.
If that wasn't respecting a woman's wishes, then what was?
Ryosuke was nothing if not considerate.
At 1:00 PM
Ryosuke bit into a fresh slice of watermelon that Mabui had prepared for him.
Then, opening his character panel, he saw that three talent entries had successfully upgraded to god level.
The remaining four were just a few days away from completion.
'Almost there.' He thought.
Curious, he opened one of the upgraded talent entries to check its new attributes.
[Lord of Rinnegan (God): You are the master of the Rinnegan, possessing an unparalleled ability to control your eyes. Any pupil technique in your hands exhibits far greater power than in anyone else's!]
[Pupil Power +4000%!
Pupil Technique Power +4000%!
Pupil Power Recovery +4000%!]
This [Lord of Rinnegan] talent entry—
Before the upgrade, its attributes were the same. But after the upgrade, while the type of attributes remained unchanged, the numerical values skyrocketed.
The increase in all three attributes has now reached 4000%, making the total boost 120 times greater than before.
That's a serious leap.
"Not bad." Ryosuke nodded to himself.
The key is that the attributes in this talent entry are extremely useful.
Pupil techniques and pupil power will never become obsolete.
[Third in the World (God):
You are one of the only three god-level powerhouses in the universe, ranking third in strength. Congratulations! You've secured pre-admission!]
[Physical Fitness +4000%!
Taijutsu Power +4000%!
Divine Chakra +4000%!]
This [Third in the World] talent entry is similar to [Lord of Rinnegan] in that its attributes haven't changed, but their values have skyrocketed.
Previously, all three attribute boosts were 1000%.
Now?
Each has increased to 4000%!
That's a significant improvement.
Not to mention, both physical fitness and Divine Chakra are extremely practical enhancements.
Even Taijutsu power is highly useful—far from a redundant attribute.
"This is pretty good too." Ryosuke thought, turning to check the last upgraded talent entry.
[Ōtsutsuki Three Gods (God): You are one of the three great gods of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Unfortunately, you are the weakest among them!]
[Physical Fitness +6000%!
Taijutsu Power +6000%!]
Another talent entry that boosts physical fitness and Taijutsu power.
However, since it only enhances two attributes, the numerical boost is even higher.
Both stats now receive a 6000% bonus—an astonishing 60 times increase.
Especially physical fitness.
With this massive enhancement, Ryosuke's physical endurance has reached an absurd level.
How absurd?
Even if an ordinary god-level powerhouse were to go all out against him, they wouldn't even leave a scratch.
And that's not even factoring in his other talent entry attributes, like attack weakening.
If those were considered?
His defenses would be even more ridiculous!
"The attributes of these three upgraded talent entries are excellent. There's not much change in variety, but the sheer numerical boost makes it a significant breakthrough."
Ryosuke had initially been concerned that an upgrade might drastically alter a talent entry's attributes.
If that happened, he might end up with attributes he didn't need—wasting a valuable god-level talent entry.
Of course, even if that were the case, it wouldn't be a complete waste.
After all, can't they be synthesized?
So far, Ryosuke hadn't successfully synthesized a Super God-Level Talent Entry yet.
But he was getting close. At most, it would take a few more months.
A few more days passed.
The remaining four talent entries finished upgrading.
Like before, there weren't major changes to their attributes—only numerical improvements.
Ryosuke was satisfied.
"That's pretty solid."
With that, he immediately placed four new gold talent entries in the upgrade queue.
If he waits for another month, he'll soon harvest seven more god-level talent entries.
Right now, Ryosuke isn't lacking god-level talent entries.
Or rather—
He already had plenty equipped.
At this stage, even additional god-level talent entries wouldn't bring a drastic boost to his strength.
After all, his core talent entries were already top-tier.
The rest weren't necessarily bad, but their impact on his power wasn't as significant.
However, if he could get his hands on a Super God-Level Talent Entry—
That would be a game-changer.
It would undoubtedly propel his strength to an entirely new level.
Unfortunately, synthesizing Super God-Level Talent Entries isn't easy.
And as for upgrading to one?
Forget it.
That would take ten years!
So—
A few more months was his target.
Let's see if he could create one by then.
