" "
" Ahhh ! "
Suddenly a huge amount of strength went through his body making the boy scream out in pain .
While the new strength itself was not the issue however the suddenness of its arrival made him recoil in shock .
It took around almost 2 minutes for the pain to go away and then it was replaced by a sudden sense of power flowing throughout his body .
While the changes were happening he could clearly feel that his physical strength has increased a lot.
When the entire event finally came to an end he was covered with sweat and taking in deep breaths to stabilize his situation .
Feeling that the process was over he finally went to sit properly on the chair letting his body rest .
" Hey system from next time onwards you do something like this make sure to give me a first hand warning . "
After venting his frustration on the system Takeru started to notice the changes in his body.
From outside he looked the same as before with only exception being that now his muscles were a little more defined and he was a little taller .
But not so much that it would be noticed as something unusual at first glance .
However the real changes that came from within his strength?
Clinching his fist he could feel a dramatic increase in his raw physical strength .
" Diane from seven deadly sins was a giant and known for both her mastery over Earth constructs and raw physical strength . "
The four percent increase just now gained him access to some of her raw physical strength .
Obviously this amount was very low compared to her full strength .
But for that he would have to work himself .
" To be honest I think that this character template is quite decent . "
How someone with the power of the sin of envy would manage to perform in the naruto world depends entirely on various kinds of factors .
If it were during the third great shinobi war then anyone with this kind of power would have been considered a major power house .
However the power levels and the dangers of the naruto world especially in the future Boruto blue vortex have left the conventional shinobi system .
The introduction of Shinjutsu and various other things like Omnipotence , Daemon's Reflection , and Karma will eventually render all those previous measurements almost entirely obsolete .
This is not mean that powerful characters from the old time was become useless in the new era .
But it means that those characters and powerful figures who would be considered the greatest apex of the shinobi world in the past would lose their level in the blue vortex era .
And let alone in the blue vortex era even in the Anime there are characters who would push even The Last child of prophecy and his best friend to their limits giving one of the most iconic transformations in the anime industry.
" So even with the power of Senju Hashirama and Diane I am far from being strong enough to confront those future enemies . "
And that's exactly what he was worried about .
Well this was just the start of this new journey and surely in future he will get more character templates and powers .
But the true question of whether those future character templates would be strong enough to contend with the power scaling of the blue vortex or even before that is a different matter altogether .
" On one hand, the good thing is that I still have time left . "
" And with multiple character templates I will have different kinds of power which I can combine instead of depending just on one single thing . "
" But those things are for the future . "
" Yarn ! Right now I am feeling very sleepy . "
It seems that the increase in strength has depleted a huge amount of his energy and now his body was stumbling towards the bed .
To be honest after his previous experience with the system he had already expected this , so he had already prepared the bad beforehand .
" Thud ! "
" Alright let's go to sleep for now, think of anything else tomorrow . "
Just as he was about to close his eyes the system gave one last message .
" "
Ding ! System Notification : Congratulations host you have gained the first of the five legendary spirit character templates .
From this day onwards you have taken a milestone step towards becoming the next child of prophecy .
And since you are now closely connected with this world and its future, nature itself will respond tonight .
" "
" Wait ! What do you mean by that ? "
Looking at the message in front of him, Takeru , who was already half asleep, tried to focus .
But unfortunately it seems that just like before at the end of the day the call from the sleep world is going to win .
" "
System Notification : Don't worry the system has taken care of your identity as the new child of prophecy is not exposed in this event .
So sleep well and you will find a surprise in the morning .
Good night !!
" "
That was the last thing Takeru saw before finally drifting away in the land of dreams not aware that tonight something would change forever .
Location Change : Hokage's Office :
" Yarn !! Man, I am so tired . "
" Good job Naruto we have completed all the paper work we needed to do for today . "
" In fact I think there is no urgent need of any other work for the next 2 days so why don't you take some rest . "
" Really ? Thanks Shikamaru you are the best . "
At this moment inside the hokage office both Naruto and Shikamaru were wrapping up the last remaining paper work .
Uzumaki Naruto the hero of the shinobi world and the child of prophecy had always dreamt about becoming the hokage .
And after going through many hardship , losses , rejection and fighting against tough enemies he had finally reached the position that he had looked up to as a child .
However it's just that while he had gone through world ending disasters and came out alive .
At the end however this great Hero was challenged and put perhaps one of the greatest difficulties of his life against a new enemy .
It was an enemy that was different from Uchiha Madara or even Kaguya Otsutsuki herself .
And this enemy was none other than .....
' PAPER WORK !!!! '
After becoming he had to deal with this paper work almost every day of his life .
While it was far different from the high stakes battles he had fought in his life the exhaustion that came with this paper work was of a different kind altogether.
' No wonder grandma Tsunade looked so smug when she came to congratulate me on becoming the hokage . '
' And it was also the reason why Kakashi sensei looked at me with such pity and relief in his eyes because now he won't have to do all this . '
While he had no regret of getting to this position, his work was really affecting his life .
Especially the fact that now his time with his family has reduced a lot .
There is nothing in this world that he loves more than his family .
His beloved wife Hinata, his son Boruto and his little daughter Himawari .
For someone who grew up without a family this was the most precious thing that he has now .
So the fact that he cannot spend that much time with them makes him very sad and guilty .
His wife Hinata understands his work and is always supportive .
But even then he he knows that she wishes to spend more time with him and the family together .
His daughter Himawari is his real gem and despite her young age she never complains about his work even if she is sad.
And as for boruto ....
Boruto has become more and more rebellious and distant due to his lack of attention and he cannot blame him for that .
He is a child right now and you cannot expect him to understand and accept all of it without feeling bad .
Deep down Naruto understands that Boruto and all his family wants to spend more time with him .
" Alright, let's go home . "
Getting up from his chair and stretching his body, Naruto decided that it was time to go home .
' Maybe I will surprise them all with this sudden visit . '
He could already think of the delighted and shocked expression on their faces .
Unfortunately for the blonde shinobi his plans tonight won't be fulfilled .
" Rumble ! Rumble ! "
Suddenly the ground started to shake lightly .
This sudden change of events caught both of their attention as they ran outside the room .
One's they saw that no serious damage had been done to the village and it was only a small tremor did they release a sigh of relief .
" What the hell was that? "
" Should we send an Anbu squad to investigate . "
" Yes I think we should and .... "
" Boom !! "
Just as they were about to do something both experienced shinobies stop immediately .
All of a sudden a wave of energy passed in the entire area .
But what was even more eye-catching was an image of an earth dragon that briefly appeared in the night sky before disappearing in the winds .
This was witnessed by everyone within the village from a civilian to the shinobi .
And not only then but the scene was visible from distances and powerful characters noticed the scene from their location .
From an Uchiha who suddenly looked behind towards the village from his distant location to the Great Toad Sage who slowly opened his eyes for a few seconds .
But all of them had one understanding in their heart .
' This power is different . '
The pressure and energy was not over powering, instead it felt strong and steady like the earth itself .
This event lasted only for a few seconds before everything went back to normal.
But these few seconds were more than enough to cause a huge reaction .
" Shikamaru quickly call Kakashi sensei and grandma Tsunade. I believe we need to have a meeting . "
" Yes we do . "
At this moment Naruto had already decided that his surprise trip to home won't be happening anymore .
Looking at the peaceful night sky which was far different from what happened a few seconds ago, a serious expression formed on his face .
Because he understood that something much more important had started .
And soon the world will change forever .
To Be Continued .
( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well and before ending this chapter , I would like to say something .
So in this chapter the main character has taken a big step towards becoming the next child of prophecy.
I wanted to say that the reason why I chose Diane from seven deadly sins is not purely because she is strong when compared to the other characters of the Boruto universe .
On that regard I have already given a detailed explanation within the story and I wanted to say over here that I am trying to get away from purely taking character templates from only the big three universes and bring characters from other anime like black clover, fairy tail , etc .
And don't worry since the power level of the boruto series is high and I have a proper plan for that .
Now on the second thing that I wanted to clarify is that from this month onward every time he completes one character template and needs on to the next character template, especially the five spirit once that I have mentioned before, there will be big reactions .
This is to make Takeru's presence as the new child of prophecy more profound and give it a better visualisation.
So I hope you can understand what I am trying to say here .
And if you have anything else to say then do tell me in the comments section .
But while I am open to constructive criticism please refrain from using anything too harsh which is not good for us both .
So that's all I had to say today and see you soon in the next chapter . )
