Despite his immense injuries, the smirk had yet to leave Kazuo's face, it was an expression of pure and utter immense excitement as he gazed below him, he couldn't see anything, all he could see was the smoke, ash and dust that had formed into a mushroom like cloud bellow him and was now slowly starting to spread and cover the entire area.
It was at that moment that he heard a notification like sound in his mind, causing his lips to spread even further into what could only be called a truly horrifying grin of pure insanity.
For a moment, Kazuo fully showed himself, his expression was the truest form of his reflection, of his real inner self, it was an expression of someone completely and utterly broken in the most insane maniacal way possible.
*Ding!*

As soon as he finished putting in his points, his very face started to get rearranged, it was a horrifying sensation as his bones and flesh were being manipulated, changed into something different, something more perfect.
At the same time as he was feeling this sensation, his mind felt like it was exploding, once more memories of his past life returned to himself, but only for a brief moment in time, if before when he had upgraded his Charisma, he had felt as if he could see what the people around him back then had meant, now he felt like he could see and perceive each and every insecurity they had with a single glance.
The entire process of the memories rushing in and the molding flesh and bones on his body, his face, didnt last long however to Kazuo those ten seconds, felt like an eternity.
The grin he had sported on his face changed, from what one would call maniacal or purely insane and horrifying, it turned into one that would incite softness, a grin full of warmth and safety, as if your lover, your father or someone close to you who loved you with all their hearts was gazing at you.
It wasn't that the reason behind the grin had changed, neither was it that the person behind it had changed, it was simply the appearance of it and its outwards attraction that had fully changed.
What previously looked unhinged, now simply looked… handsome.
Lifting his hand to touch his face, Kazuos fingers made contact with impossibly smooth skin, no blemishes, no scars, nothing, it was as if it was the skin of a baby, the hair that fell around and framed his face was luscious, and impossibly black yet still shiny.
"Ah… Does it mean that once a Stat reaches the S rank category… the upgrade is much higher?" Kazuo mumbled, before stopping, his voice sounded different, more melodic, more enchanting, softer and at the same time more firm, warm, commanding.
It was all kinds of influences balanced into one, it was the voice of someone who could tell you to kill yourself and you would almost believe it was for your own good.
It was at this moment that another system menu appeared before him.
[ Chakra Nature Selection. ]
[ Remaining Chakra Natures: Yang, Fire, Wind. ]
'This isn't even a question.' Kazuo thought to himself inwardly as he instantly made his choice.
'Yang.'
[ Yang Chakra Nature has been selected. ]
[ Yang ] [ 10/10 ]
For a moment, Kazuo felt nothing, and then it appeared in an instant, his body felt more rejuvenated, his limbs felt free, as if they had been locked down since forever and he was only just now unshackled.
'This… this is fucking busted, fucking hashirama bullshit born with this.' Kazuo thought as he flexed the fingers on his right hand, feeling his strength that was already high having grown even more, his physical strength if he now used Yang chakra enhancement would be frankly of an insane level.
'Good. Now… not much is left before I can complete my mission.' Kazuo thought as he pressed the final button on his menu screen.
And from the tips of his toes, materialising from white particles of light, his armor was being created, directly worn on top of his body, whilst at his waist, a long katana was forming.
