In the royal palace of the Fire Nation Metropolis.
"You've all worked hard today. Go back and get some rest first."
Kitazawa released Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Tsunade, and Kurenai Yūhi from Amenominaka.
After saying that, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived in Konoha.
Now that he had obtained the three pills refined from members of the Ōtsutsuki clan, he could finally complete his last system mission.
Kitazawa raised his head and looked at the Divine Tree in front of him.
When he had first acquired it, it had only been in its infancy.
After ten years of development through the Divine Tree game, it had entered its adolescent stage.
But that still was not enough for it to bear fruit.
After all, a single Divine Tree fruit required the energy of an entire planet.
With that thought in mind, Kitazawa extended his hand.
The Divine Tree suddenly trembled.
All players currently online immediately received a temporary maintenance notice, and then were kicked out.
Once they were gone, Kitazawa moved his mind.
Two pills refined from Ōtsutsuki clan members flew toward the Divine Tree.
The Divine Tree immediately emitted a ray of light.
The two pills were instantly absorbed into its body.
In the very next second, the Divine Tree underwent a world-shaking transformation.
Its roots expanded several times over in an instant, with countless roots plunging deep into the earth.
Under normal circumstances, when the Divine Tree reached its complete form, its roots would spread across the entire ninja world and drain the planet of all its energy.
But Kitazawa naturally would not allow that to happen.
Besides, the two Ōtsutsuki pills already contained energy equivalent to that of an entire planet.
Because of that, the Divine Tree's roots quickly stopped expanding.
At the top of the tree, a massive flower bud appeared.
A moment later, the petals slowly unfolded, revealing the Divine Tree fruit inside.
"Just as I thought."
Seeing this, Kitazawa could not help but smile.
With a casual wave of his hand, the fruit at the top of the Divine Tree floated down in front of him.
Kitazawa did not hesitate and ate it immediately.
An endless torrent of chakra surged out from within his body.
The Rinne Sharingan on his forehead opened automatically.
At the same time, his left eye also transformed into a Rinne Sharingan.
[Current Mission: Make the Divine Tree bear fruit.]
[Mission Reward: Divine Tree Fruit.]
[Mission Completed. Reward Granted.]
Three lines of text appeared before Kitazawa's eyes right on time.
His final system mission was now complete.
Then, a second Divine Tree fruit appeared in front of him.
After a moment's thought, Kitazawa ate that one as well.
An immeasurable amount of chakra once again poured into his body.
And his right eye, like his left, transformed into a Rinne Sharingan.
With a thought, all three Rinne Sharingan vanished.
His eyes returned to normal.
Kitazawa subconsciously clenched his fist.
For the first time, he felt a level of power he had never experienced before.
If he fought Ōtsutsuki Urashiki again now, he could kill him instantly.
No—even if he had to face three at once, he could still easily defeat Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki together.
In the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, he estimated that the only one he could not defeat was Shibai Ōtsutsuki.
But that did not really matter.
Shibai had already discarded his physical body and left this dimension behind.
Kitazawa, however, could never be that cold.
Even if he became an Ōtsutsuki god, he would never leave the ninja world.
After all, Tsunade, Kurenai, Hinata Hyūga, Ino Yamanaka, Konan, and the others were still here.
With a casual wave, Kitazawa restored the Divine Tree to its original state.
In theory, as long as enough time passed, the Divine Tree could gather a massive amount of chakra through the game and eventually produce a second fruit.
Of course, "enough time" meant something on the scale of a thousand years.
If he wanted to speed things up, Kitazawa could go hunt other members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
But that was something for the future.
Stretching lazily, Kitazawa used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his Hokage office.
He sat down on the sofa and beckoned to Konan.
Konan walked over and sat on his lap.
Her long legs, wrapped in black stockings, swayed lightly in the air.
Kitazawa gave her leg a light squeeze.
Konan let out a muffled sound, and her body tilted into his arms.
She raised her head, and a dazed look had already appeared in her cool eyes.
"Don't resist."
Kitazawa raised his hand, placed it on her forehead, and spoke.
Konan nodded.
Even though she had no idea what he was planning to do.
Very soon, her eyes widened in shock.
She felt an enormous, overwhelming amount of chakra pour from Kitazawa's palm into her body.
What was happening?
Konan's body tensed instinctively.
But she restrained her natural reaction and did not reject Kitazawa's chakra.
Soon, she noticed the changes in her body.
A transformation from the inside out spread through her body and bloodline, making her feel as though she was leaving the realm of ordinary humans behind.
Konan steadied herself as a flood of information poured into her mind.
With a single thought, the amber color in her eyes was replaced by white.
Everything around her became incomparably clear.
This was... the Byakugan?
Konan could not help but feel shocked.
She had never seen an ability that could forcibly grant another person a bloodline limit.
No—this was not an ordinary Byakugan.
Konan quickly realized the truth.
She had gained two abilities: intangibility and a power called Bohi-gami.
Kitazawa had offered the pills refined from Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki to the Divine Tree.
After eating the Divine Tree fruit, he had inherited both of their powers.
And so, he had passed Kinshiki's abilities on to Konan.
As for the pill refined from Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, he intended to give it to Ino Yamanaka.
That way, Tsunade, Kurenai, Konan, and Ino Yamanaka would all become powerhouses on the level of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
As for Hinata Hyūga and Hanabi Hyūga, after awakening the Tenseigan, they were already close to the level of ordinary Ōtsutsuki.
Though admittedly, they were still a bit behind.
But that was not a problem.
Kitazawa could use his own chakra to complete their transformation, just as he had done for Konan.
With his current strength, creating two more fighters on the level of the Ōtsutsuki clan would not be a problem at all.
Of course, only two.
Any more than that, and even his near-infinite chakra would not be able to handle it.
After all, these were beings on the level of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
If they were truly that easy to create, the entire universe would already be full of them.
Kitazawa could only do it because he had consumed nearly four Divine Tree fruits.
"Thank you."
Konan took a deep breath and spoke.
Even though Kitazawa had not explained anything, she could already feel the astonishing changes in her body.
From this moment on, she would possess endless life and an unchanging appearance.
"Get used to your power," Kitazawa said, patting her stocking-clad thigh lightly. "I'm going to see Ino."
"Mm."
Konan stood up from his arms.
Kitazawa went straight to Ino Yamanaka's office.
He knocked on the door, and after getting permission, walked in.
"Kitazawa-sensei!"
The moment Ino saw him, she immediately ran over and threw her arms around him.
She lifted her head, her beautiful face full of smiles.
Kitazawa reached out and stroked her hair.
In front of him, Ino Yamanaka would always be like this—radiant, youthful, and full of life.
And he truly liked that about her.
"Eat this."
A pill refined from Ōtsutsuki Urashiki appeared in Kitazawa's palm.
Without overthinking it, Ino tossed it into her mouth.
She immediately let out a startled cry.
A vast amount of chakra filled her entire body and instantly began transforming it.
Ino's eyes trembled, then automatically changed into Rinnegan.
A huge amount of information flooded into her mind.
She grasped abilities such as Origami Replacement Technique and Temporal Rewind.
"I... how..."
Ino looked at Kitazawa, momentarily unable to form a coherent sentence.
Unlike Konan, she was not nearly as composed. Such a sudden explosion in strength left her at a loss.
"There's no need to say anything extra."
Kitazawa pulled her into his arms, his right hand resting against her smooth waist.
Ino steadied herself and let out a breath.
Naturally, she was overjoyed to become a powerhouse on the level of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
After all, that meant possessing a long life and an unchanging appearance.
Most importantly, it meant she could stay with Kitazawa forever.
"Kitazawa-sensei... I want to have your child."
Thinking of that, Ino leaned close to his ear and whispered.
She already knew that Hinata was pregnant.
But she was not.
Before, she had not understood why, but now she had realized the reason.
Only now, in her current state, could she bear the best possible child.
Hearing that, Kitazawa felt his heart stir.
It was almost impossible to refuse when such a beautiful young woman said something like that to him.
A captivating smile appeared on Ino's face.
She took a step back and leaned against the desk, looking at him with inviting, misty eyes.
Kitazawa swallowed.
He stepped forward and placed his hands on her slender waist.
Two hours later, Kitazawa left Ino Yamanaka's office.
He walked toward the neighboring office belonging to Hinata Hyūga.
After receiving permission, he entered.
"You look like you've got something on your mind."
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.
"N-no... nothing."
Hinata hurriedly shook her head.
Kitazawa walked over to her.
He knew Hinata very well. He could tell she was hiding something from him, but since she would not say it, he could not press her too hard.
He raised his hand and placed it on her forehead.
Hinata froze slightly, confusion appearing in her eyes.
But very quickly, she understood what Kitazawa was doing.
He was forcibly raising her strength.
From being like the Ōtsutsuki of the moon, she was now being elevated to the level of the true cosmic Ōtsutsuki.
Her Byakugan also transformed, becoming something nearly on the same level as the Tenseigan.
Hinata bit her lip.
At last, she made up her mind.
Earlier, Hanabi had asked her for help, but she had been conflicted the whole time.
"Um... Kitazawa-sensei."
Hinata lowered her head and asked softly, "Could you come to my house tonight?"
"Of course."
Kitazawa also wanted to know what she had been hiding from him.
After all, given Hinata's personality, there were very few things she found this difficult to bring up with him.
"Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."
For some reason, Hinata felt a weight lift from her heart.
"All right, at this point, do we still need to say thank you to each other?"
Kitazawa reached out and lightly pinched her soft cheek.
"Sorr—"
Hinata instinctively started to apologize, but when she saw the look in his eyes, she swallowed the rest of the word.
"Good girl."
Kitazawa lowered his head and kissed her lightly, then asked, "What time should I come over tonight?"
"N-nine."
A flush spread across Hinata's face, red as an apple.
Kitazawa could not help but smile.
It seemed tonight was going to be eventful.
"Then I'll see you tonight."
He rubbed her head gently.
Since he had already spent two hours with Ino, he was in no rush.
Kitazawa used the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to the Hokage's office.
After glancing at Konan, he picked up the documents on his desk.
At this point, the only things in the ninja world worth his attention were technology and entertainment.
On the technology side, the main focus was gradually recreating the technology of his previous life.
For example, cars.
But the ninja world was not the same as his old world—here, chakra could be applied to technology.
Now there were already chakra-powered cars, trains, and airships.
Truly mechanical automobiles, however, still required more development.
Still, industries such as oil and steel had already begun to take shape.
On the entertainment side, film and television were the main focus, supplemented by animation and novels.
In the current ninja world, entertainment was without question the fastest-growing industry.
After all, people no longer had to worry about war, nor about mere survival.
After reading the documents, Kitazawa fell into thought.
He was considering one thing:
holding another wedding.
After all, both Hinata Hyūga and Ino Yamanaka were already pregnant. It would not be right not to hold a wedding.
The only real issue was Tsunade and Kurenai Yūhi.
He would need time to convince them.
But no matter what, he had to try.
In any case, he was thick-skinned.
And it was not as if success were impossible.
After all, Tsunade and Kurenai could already accept each other.
Besides, even if he could not persuade them in the short term, he now had an extremely long life ahead of him. Given time, there would eventually be hope.
Time passed slowly.
At nine that night, Kitazawa arrived at Hinata Hyūga's room right on time.
He gave a soft sound of surprise.
Because the room was dark.
Of course, whether the lights were on or off made no difference to Kitazawa.
But the problem was that Hinata was not alone.
Hanabi Hyūga was there too.
Kitazawa walked over.
Under the blanket, the two sisters were lying together.
His gaze fell on Hanabi's face.
Her eyes were shut, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks.
Clearly, she was pretending to be asleep.
At last, Kitazawa understood why Hinata had seemed so troubled during the day.
But honestly...
He was not some noble saint. Since things had already reached this point, he had no intention of refusing.
With that thought, Kitazawa slipped under the covers.
What followed was a quiet, deeply intimate night shared between them.
Hanabi eventually opened her eyes, her gaze shimmering with emotion, but there was also a smile on her face.
"Brother-in-law..."
She leaned close to him, and the beautiful night truly began.
Time continued to pass.
Ever since Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and the others had been dealt with, the ninja world had fallen into peace.
Then, with the start of a new year, the entire ninja world became lively again.
Because a truly explosive piece of news spread everywhere.
The emperor, Kitazawa, was getting married again.
And this time, there were two more brides than before: Hinata Hyūga, Ino Yamanaka, Hanabi Hyūga, and Konan.
Some people were shocked, some were envious, some admired him—but no one opposed it.
After all, Kitazawa was the first emperor in the ninja world, and the only one.
