Inside the Mizukage's office in the Mist Village.
Terumī Mei looked at the letter with a hint of surprise.
*The father of my child is finally making his move.*
She was already pregnant. A year was more than enough time to give birth, and then she could go see him again. He truly was a man who left people yearning.
With Genji's full support this time, she had already become the Fifth Mizukage.
As for the biological father of her child, with Genji vouching for her, it naturally wasn't an issue, and no one else raised any objections.
After all, no one from her generation in the village was anywhere near her level.
After finishing the letter, she handed it to Genji.
Genji took it and opened his aged eyes to read.
Feeling a bit emotional, he muttered to himself,
"To think I would live to see such a spectacle."
*That man is about to make his move. If he succeeds, the shinobi world will undoubtedly turn over a new leaf.*
He still had a good few years left in him, at least enough to witness this grand event unfold.
*I haven't lived in vain after all.*
In the Stone Village, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, naturally received an invitation as well. His expression was solemn; he hadn't expected the Leaf Village to host the Chūnin Exams.
*Are they just trying to flex their muscles, or do they have some other ulterior motive?*
He had a bad feeling about this.
It felt just like the time he faced Uchiha Madara—it did not bode well.
Furthermore, they still hadn't been able to contact that powerhouse, the God King. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth without a trace.
For now, all he could do was go and see exactly what the Leaf Village was plotting.
The major hidden villages weren't the only ones in the shinobi world to receive invitations. Naturally, some smaller villages were also invited, such as the Waterfall Village and the Rain Village.
The Takigage was quite pleased. He knew that man's true identity. Having witnessed him capture a Tailed Beast a few years ago, he was still deeply shaken by his supreme, unparalleled power.
To think that such a great lord would invite a small hidden village like his—he absolutely had to attend.
Nagato of the Rain Village also received an invitation.
Shimura Danzō of the Leaf Village had caused Yahiko's death, and he still remembered that blood debt to this day.
Fortunately, Danzō was now dead.
Now, it was finally acceptable to make a trip to the Leaf Village.
However, the fact that the God King still hadn't made a move left him feeling puzzled.
Given that lord's abilities, it should be just about time for him to act.
*I wonder how the God King compares to Uchiha Ryōsuke.*
Uchiha Ryōsuke was equally formidable.
The Leaf Village also invited the Daimyō of the Five Great Nations of the shinobi world, and even the Daimyō of several smaller nations.
As the undisputed number one village in the shinobi world today, especially after the terrifying battle that occurred recently, even if they wanted to refuse, they wouldn't dare.
They had to show respect; otherwise, they would just be asking for trouble.
Ten months later.
The Leaf Village was developing in an orderly manner. Under the dedicated research of Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto,
the village's technological advancement was progressing by leaps and bounds.
They were already capable of manufacturing vehicles like cars and electric scooters.
The shinobi world already had such tools, but they were monopolized by a few wealthy merchants.
Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto could easily reverse-engineer and replicate these things.
Although they could manufacture these vehicles, they hadn't been widely distributed yet.
The most impressive breakthrough, however, was in the communications industry. The shinobi world's radio technology had already begun to take shape,
but now, thanks to their improvements, the signal could cover the entire village.
The corresponding equipment was installed in ninja bases all across the Leaf Village.
They could contact the command center at any time.
However, for long-distance communication, they needed to build a massive information transmission station.
The two of them were also dedicating their efforts to researching ways to reduce costs.
Perhaps in the near future, this technology could be rolled out on a massive scale.
Not only that, but they also sent people to survey the Land of Fire for mineral resources.
Since there wasn't much mining being done, and they now had the power of ninjas at their disposal, carving through mountains and breaking rocks was a breeze—even more efficient than excavators.
These were the crucial resources needed to popularize their technology.
The Leaf Village's communication and transportation industries had already taken shape, far surpassing the other nations of this era.
Only with an advanced level of technology could they control a sufficiently vast territory.
Of course, Ryōsuke also had Orochimaru develop machines like harvesters and plows, allowing them to make extensive use of the wastelands surrounding the Leaf Village. They were just barren lands anyway; it would be a waste not to use them.
Through the application of technology, large tracts of surrounding land were cultivated and planted with crops, with rice being the most common.
Without a doubt, the rice grown here was more than enough to supply the Leaf Village. They no longer had to go through the trouble of importing it from elsewhere, and they could even export the surplus.
Growing massive amounts of food in this world was actually quite easy.
Years of continuous warfare had left the world sparsely populated, with vast expanses of empty land.
There was absolutely enough wealth to feed everyone.
Meanwhile, thanks to Ryōsuke's diligent cultivation, his women were also starting to give birth.
First was Kurotsuchi, who gave birth to a child. Although she hadn't reached Kage-level strength yet, she already possessed the power of a Jōnin.
Naturally, the system rewarded him with a Precious Treasure Chest, which yielded 1 Kakashi's worth of chakra upon opening.
*This kind of reward is decent enough, I suppose.*
Temari also gave birth shortly after. Since Temari was at the Chūnin level, she provided an Exquisite Treasure Chest.
It only yielded a reward of 0.5 Kakashi's worth of chakra.
*Better than nothing.*
Then came the main event: Kaguya, the strongest of them all, also gave birth.
Given Kaguya's immense strength, she provided him with the highest tier of reward: a Luxurious Treasure Chest.
The moment he opened it, a brilliant golden light flashed.
It actually rewarded him with a Multiverse Portal. This was truly incredible.
His Rinnegan could only teleport him within this specific world.
With this, he could travel to other worlds, even if the destinations were randomized.
He would need to record new locations and leave spatial coordinates before he could perform targeted teleportation in the future.
This meant it possessed both random and targeted traversal functions.
Even if he was randomly dropped into an unknown world, he wasn't afraid.
With his current level of strength, even if he arrived in a higher-dimensional world where he couldn't win in a fight, he could still lay low and develop his power by relying on his two systems.
*This has a lot of potential.*
He actually started entertaining the idea of leaving.
He wanted to acquire stronger women and face more powerful opponents; only then could he obtain even greater rewards from the system.
The women in this world were simply too weak. There were barely any at the Kage-level.
And of course, the ones he chose had to be beautiful.
Perhaps if he went to a stronger plane of existence, he could recruit even more women, allowing his abilities to grow even further.
Of course, now was not the time to leave. At the very least, he had to establish the alliance and unify the shinobi world first.
He also needed to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and he remembered there was still the Kara organization on Earth.
*Once I finish the matters at hand, I think I can go after them.*
