Chapter 85: Ling Yu's Birthday, Wood Release Awakening, Lottery Draw
War is a prolonged conflict, testing not only strength but also a nation's logistics and supply capabilities.
By now, Ling Yu and the others had already spent half a year on the battlefield against the Rain ninja.
If things continued to drag on like this, Konoha would surely win—so Konoha was in no hurry to launch an offensive and kept fighting a war of attrition.
The Rain ninja knew full well that prolonging the fight would only disadvantage them, yet they refused to retreat. They were likely plotting some kind of scheme.
During these six months, Ling Yu and the girls stayed on the battlefield, constantly honing their combat experience. Their strength grew stronger step by step.
Konoha Camp
A spatial teleportation gate suddenly appeared inside Ling Yu and the girls' tent.
Because the war between the great nations was still ongoing, Ling Yu and the others couldn't stay on the dull front lines every single day.
That was why Ling Yu often opened teleportation gates to send the girls back to Konoha to rest, and they would return to join the battles when fighting broke out again.
After all, with Space Power, doing this was just a small expenditure of chakra for Ling Yu.
"So full! It's been so long since I had a barbecue feast—I really missed it."
Kushina rubbed her slightly bulging belly, stepping out of the teleportation gate first, then sat on the sofa with a satisfied expression.
"This time I also bought a lot of ingredients from Konoha. Tomorrow I should be able to make Ling Yu a luxurious feast for his birthday."
Mikoto smiled as she carried a huge bag out of the teleportation gate and walked toward the kitchen, planning to store the ingredients first.
Because tomorrow was Ling Yu's tenth birthday, the girls had suggested going back to Konoha to buy some ingredients and prepare a big meal for him. Tsunade couldn't come along because of work.
And during lunch that afternoon, Ling Yu had treated them to a luxurious barbecue feast as a reward.
"Kushina, you're too lazy—stuffed full and you just lie there."
Ling Yu, who came out last holding Konan's hand, walked to the sofa and teased Kushina, who was already lying down.
"Hmph, it's none of your business. I'll do whatever I want."
Kushina huffed coquettishly, rolled over, raised her little fist, and made a face at Ling Yu.
"Kushina-nee, the book says sleeping right after eating makes you gain weight easily." Konan reminded her at that moment.
"Tsk tsk tsk—even Konan knows more than you. And you're supposed to be teaching her ninjutsu."
Ling Yu looked at Kushina with a hint of disdain.
"Damn it! I'm going to bite you to death!"
Kushina got angry and immediately jumped on Ling Yu, starting to roughhouse with him.
The group messed around like this until evening arrived.
After the three girls went back to sleep, Ling Yu returned to his own room, sank his consciousness into the system space, and prepared to wait for the moment his Sage Body would awaken.
At this point, only a few minutes remained until his Sage Body awakening.
"System, open personal panel."
Host: Ling Yu Age: 9 Physique: Sage Body (Awakening: 99.99%) Skills: Rinnegan [Enhanced], Six Powers, Copy & Analyze, Space Power, All Ninjutsu Series, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Observation Haki & Armament Haki Weapons: Kyōka Suigetsu Strength Level: Peak Kage-level Exchange Points: 800 Inventory: Ordinary Chest ×2, Exquisite Chest ×1
In the system space, a standard timer appeared. Ling Yu synchronized the time here with the outside world.
Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second…
As the number on the timer reached 00:00, a massive warm current suddenly surged through Ling Yu's body. Then the warm current began spreading from his heart to his entire body, giving rise to an incredibly comfortable sensation.
When the comfortable feeling faded, Ling Yu carefully sensed his body and discovered that his chakra now contained a great deal of rich life force.
At the same time, his chakra reserves had exploded—two to three times larger than before.
Don't underestimate the effect of this two- to threefold increase. Ling Yu's peak Kage-level chakra pool was already among the best in the ninja world, and now it had grown even further.
It could be said that his chakra reserves had grown from the thickness of a fist to a towering ancient tree. Combined with the Sage Body's powerful recovery, his chakra had essentially become an endless source.
The additional life force in his body was the manifestation of Yang Release chakra. It balanced and countered the Yin Release chakra from his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, ultimately forming a perfect equilibrium.
At the same moment, Ling Yu's Rinnegan quietly activated. The two perfectly balanced types of chakra continuously flowed into his eyes, gradually strengthening the Rinnegan's power and deepening its color.
Only when the Rinnegan completely turned deep purple did the process stop. At that moment, Ling Yu sensed that his Rinnegan's power had increased several times over.
The reason the Rinnegan's color had previously been faint and basically undetectable to others was because his Sage Body had not yet awakened.
Now that he had awakened the Sage Body, the fusion of the Sage Body and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan had finally fully unlocked the Rinnegan's power.
The method to obtain the Rinnegan was actually written on the Uchiha clan's stone tablet: "Opposing forces, combined into one, shall grant the power of all creation."
In other words, one needed to possess both Asura's and Indra's powers at the same time. Their fusion would give rise to Six Paths power, granting the Rinnegan.
Although Ling Yu did not have those two powers, he had obtained the Rinnegan early from the system, allowing him to skip the step of collecting Asura and Indra's powers.
Now, he only needed to fuse the Yin and Yang forces within his body to further enhance his original Rinnegan power.
This was truly an effect where one plus one was greater than two.
Ding! Congratulations, host! Strength has broken through to Super Kage-level. Reward: Exchange Points +3000, Exquisite Chest ×5.
At the same time, after Ling Yu's Rinnegan strengthened, the system notification sounded, and the reward for breaking through peak Kage-level was placed in his system inventory.
"Is today my lucky day? Why is the system being so generous?"
Before he could even celebrate, Ling Yu looked at the additional 3000 exchange points and five Exquisite Chests in his system inventory and couldn't help but grin.
"Now the system gave me five Exquisite Chests—enough to synthesize one Precious Chest, with one left over for later synthesis."
With that, Ling Yu immediately began synthesizing the Exquisite Chests in his inventory into one Precious Chest.
Then Ling Yu directly clicked the "Open" button on the chest. A golden light flashed.
Ding! Congratulations, host! Obtained Bleach world – Complete Kidō Compendium.
In the next moment, countless pieces of knowledge flooded into Ling Yu's mind. He could only close his eyes and silently accept the Kidō knowledge transmitted by the system.
In the Bleach world, "Kidō" is divided into two types: "Hadō" (Way of Destruction) for attack, and "Bakudō" (Way of Binding) for defense.
Using Kidō consumes Ling Yu's mental power, but fortunately, with his Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his mental strength had already surpassed ordinary levels and was comparable to captain-level in the Bleach world.
Moments later, when Ling Yu opened his eyes, he had completely mastered the knowledge of Kidō, and all Kidō had reached master-level proficiency.
As long as Ling Yu willed it, he could instantly cast any Kidō. With incantation, the power of Kidō could be brought to 100%.
At this moment, his personal panel had changed.
