Chapter 448: Infinite Tsukuyomi
Chapter 448: Infinite Tsukuyomi
After the Jonin Meeting and the victory celebration concluded, everyone became busy.
Setting aside other matters, just relocating Konoha Village to the Capital of the Land of Fire was no easy task.
Although Konoha Village was called a village, it was actually no less impressive than any large city.
It had a vast area and a large population, so relocating it would require a long time. Fortunately, Kitazawa had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.
"Hokage-sa… Supreme Lord."
Konan walked into the Hokage Office and subconsciously called out three words, but she quickly realized her mistake and corrected herself.
The Hokage was now merely the person in charge of the Ninja Division.
The Supreme stood above the Hokage, so addressing him as "Supreme Lord" was more appropriate.
"Here is the data you requested." Konan walked up to Kitazawa and handed him a scroll.
Kitazawa nodded and casually accepted it.
The contents of the scroll recorded the current lists of nobles and officials from the Five Great Nations.
He only recognized one person—the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. But whether he recognized them or not wasn't important.
Kitazawa had requested this list for only one purpose. To plant Genjutsu suggestions within them.
Although he wanted to replace them all immediately, he currently lacked enough suitable talent.
Yet if he left them unchanged, he feared they would not perform their duties properly. After all, he knew very well how terrible the nobles and officials of the feudal era could be.
Fortunately, this was the Ninja World, and such a problem could be solved with ninja methods.
That method was Genjutsu—forcing them to diligently perform their duties.
Kitazawa picked up a brush and wrote this plan at the end of the scroll.
These nobles and officials were ordinary people with no defense against Genjutsu, so he did not need to act personally.
"Give the scroll to Itachi." Kitazawa closed the scroll and spoke.
"Yes, Supreme Lord." Konan stepped forward and accepted the scroll.
[Current Mission: Unify the Five Great Nations.]
[Mission Reward: Chakra Edible Creation.]
[Host has completed the mission. Rewards are being issued.]
After Konan left, three lines of text appeared before Kitazawa's eyes.
After receiving the knowledge transmitted by the system, he nodded slightly.
The ability of Chakra Edible Creation allowed him to absorb a target's Chakra and convert it into a pill that could strengthen the user upon consumption.
For the current Kitazawa, it did not have a particularly significant effect.
His strength had already reached a bottleneck.
But for others, it was very different.
Theoretically speaking, he could use Chakra Edible Creation to create Ōtsutsuki-level powerhouses for Konoha Village.
However, the prerequisite was having enough Chakra to convert into pills.
Even if only a few people could benefit from it, it would still greatly improve the overall strength of Konoha Village.
Kitazawa immediately thought of the four bows he had created.
These four bows sealed the Zero-Tails, Mōryō, the Dragon Vein, and Satori.
Now that he possessed Chakra Edible Creation, he could convert them into pills for Hinata and the others to consume.
In that case, their Chakra would truly become their own. They would no longer need to use Yin Release Chakra Mode to borrow power.
The same applied to the Jinchuriki. If Kitazawa were ruthless enough, he could even refine all the Tailed Beasts.
However, Naruto would certainly not agree. After all, his relationship with Kurama was extremely good.
Kitazawa stood up and used the Flying Thunder God Technique. In the next second, he appeared inside the Hyuga Clan compound.
Hinata instinctively turned her head toward him. After being stunned for a moment, her face immediately filled with joy.
She quickly deactivated her Tenseigan and walked over.
"Still training right after the war ended?" Kitazawa reached out and stroked her smooth hair.
"I haven't completely mastered the Tenseigan yet," Hinata replied softly.
"There's no need to rush." Kitazawa chuckled. "Rest when you should rest. We have plenty of time."
"I want to help." After saying that, Hinata suddenly remembered something and spoke hesitantly. "Um… Teacher Kitazawa…"
"Just say whatever you want to say." Kitazawa pinched her cheek gently.
"Sasuke and the others have become the Supreme Guards." Hinata took a deep breath, looked up at him, and asked, "What can I do?"
"What do you want to do?" Kitazawa understood her intention and asked in return.
"I don't know." Hinata paused before adding,
"Whatever Teacher Kitazawa says I should do, I will do it." Kitazawa was slightly surprised and began to think.
Given Hinata's identity and strength, simply letting her serve as an ordinary Jonin would indeed be inappropriate.
But she was not a Jinchuriki, and the Supreme Guard already had enough members. There was no need to add another.
"Then starting today, you will serve as an intern Hokage Secretary." Kitazawa made a decision. "I will have Shizune-senpai teach you."
Hinata's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately. She had heard about the Hokage Secretary position and knew the general duties involved.
But more importantly, it meant she could help Kitazawa.
"Give me the Moon Chasing Bow." Kitazawa suddenly remembered the important matter and extended his hand.
Hinata immediately handed the Moon Chasing Bow to him.
Kitazawa grasped the bow and stepped back one step. He raised his left hand and aimed it at the body of the Moon Chasing Bow.
Chakra Edible Creation!
A powerful suction force erupted from his palm. The Moon Chasing Bow trembled violently as the seal inside it was forcibly released.
Satori instinctively tried to escape. But it was quickly enveloped by the suction force, unable to move.
It immediately sensed danger and struggled desperately. However, it was useless.
Although Satori was comparable to a Tailed Beast, Kitazawa's strength had already surpassed it by far.
Even the Nine Tailed Beasts would be instantly suppressed before him—let alone Satori.
A massive amount of Chakra gathered in Kitazawa's palm and compressed continuously. When compressed to its limit, it formed a pale gray circular pill.
Without Satori, the Moon Chasing Bow became noticeably dim. However, Hinata's strength would not be affected.
Previously, the arrows were created by Satori within the Moon Chasing Bow. From now on, the arrows would be created by Hinata herself.
"Eat it." Kitazawa spoke.
Although Hinata did not fully understand what had happened, she said nothing. She took the pill and placed it in her mouth.
It felt cool, but had no taste. She chewed it a few times and swallowed.
Hinata's eyes suddenly widened.
She felt an enormous amount of Chakra appear out of nowhere, spreading rapidly throughout her entire body.
Soon, her clothes and hair began to flutter. Even the dust around them was blown away.
Kitazawa activated his Byakugan. The situation inside Hinata's body became completely visible.
How should he describe it? Hinata's current state was somewhat similar to Kurama Yakumo's.
An extremely dense Yin Release power now existed within her body.
Although her strength had not increased dramatically compared to before, using her own Chakra was undoubtedly better than borrowing power.
In the future, even if the Moon Chasing Bow disappeared, Hinata's strength would not drop drastically.
"Thank you, Teacher Kitazawa!" Hinata came back to her senses and roughly understood what had happened.
After all, the changes in the Moon Chasing Bow were extremely obvious.
"I'll take you to see Shizune-senpai." Kitazawa returned the Moon Chasing Bow to her and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In the next moment, the two of them appeared at the Hokage Secretariat, which had not yet been renamed.
"Shizune-senpai." Kitazawa briefly explained his purpose.
"No problem." Shizune nodded with a gentle smile. "I will teach Hinata well."
Although Hinata was still young, the current Ninja World followed the principle that strength was paramount.
Shizune did not think there was anything inappropriate about Hinata becoming the Hokage Secretary.
After all, Hinata was already famous throughout the Ninja World.
The situation was similar to Uchiha Sasuke and the others becoming Supreme Guards—no one would dare object.
"Hinata, if you have any problems, you can come find me next door." Kitazawa patted Hinata's head before turning around to leave.
He soon returned to the Hokage Office.
"Uchiha Itachi has already departed for the Capital of the Land of Fire," Konan reported immediately after seeing him.
Kitazawa nodded slightly. After sitting down, he suddenly remembered an important matter.
That was the Spatial Transfer Seal.
If a Spatial Transfer Seal had already been established, Uchiha Itachi would not have needed to travel all the way to the Capital of the Land of Fire.
Now that the relocation was imminent, the Spatial Transfer Seal had become even more necessary.
Thinking of this, Kitazawa picked up paper and a pen. The sooner the Spatial Transfer Seal was completed, the better.
He planned to finish the method during this period. Kitazawa had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Now he only needed to modify the Flying Thunder God Technique into a Spatial Transfer Seal formation.
Time soon passed into March.
After half a month of relocation, several departments had already moved to the Capital of the Land of Fire.
For example, the Engineering Department.
The reason they moved first was that they were responsible for renovating the Capital of the Land of Fire.
Inside a room on the first floor of the Hokage Building. The floor was covered with dense arrays of sealing formulas.
Nara Shikaku, Shizune, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and several other high-ranking officials of Konoha Village stood nearby, watching as Kitazawa placed Chakra Crystals onto the formation.
Chakra Crystals were highly condensed Chakra. Simply put, they were Chakra sealed inside a crystal form.
The most typical example was the necklace of the First Hokage. It contained Senju Hashirama's Chakra and could even suppress the Nine-Tails.
Kitazawa placed the Chakra Crystals as the energy source for the Spatial Transfer Seal.
After all, the Spatial Transfer Seal was essentially based on the Flying Thunder God Technique. The greater the teleportation distance, the more Chakra it consumed.
For example, teleporting from Konoha Village to the Capital of the Land of Fire required an enormous amount of Chakra.
After careful consideration, Kitazawa decided to use Chakra Crystals as the substitute energy source.
As for the source of the Chakra within those crystals, it naturally came from the Nine Tailed Beasts.
They possessed almost limitless Chakra anyway. Producing Chakra Crystals regularly was a very simple task for them.
"Who wants to try it first?" After finishing the setup, Kitazawa asked with a smile.
"I'll try." Shizune stepped forward and stood in the center of the Spatial Transfer Seal.
Following Kitazawa's instructions, she injected Chakra into the sealing formulas on the floor. A faint glow of Chakra surrounded her body.
The next instant, she disappeared from the spot.
Shizune only felt a brief dizziness. When she regained her senses, she had already appeared inside another room.
She pushed open the door and discovered that she was now inside the Fire Daimyō Palace of the Land of Fire.
Palaces surrounded her in every direction.
"Truly… miraculous!" Shizune could not help but exclaim in astonishment.
She clearly understood the value of this Spatial Transfer Seal. Whether used for war or everyday purposes, it would save an enormous amount of time.
Shizune soon returned to the room and injected Chakra once more. She reappeared in Konoha Village.
"The Spatial Transfer Seal was successful." Shizune took a deep breath and reported.
Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and the others all revealed shocked expressions.
They also clearly understood the tremendous impact the widespread use of Spatial Transfer Seals would have.
"From now on, the Engineering Department will be responsible for maintaining the Spatial Transfer Seal." Kitazawa gave the order.
"Yes, Supreme Lord." Hyuga Hiashi responded immediately.
"Here, take this." Kitazawa took out a map and handed it over.
"The marked locations on this map are Spatial Transfer Seals. For now, there are one hundred of them distributed across the Ninja World."
Only having one teleportation channel was obviously insufficient. After all, the Ninja World was extremely vast.
Furthermore, Spatial Transfer Seals were also divided into three types.
Single-person Spatial Transfer Seal.
Hundred-person Spatial Transfer Seal.
And Thousand-person Spatial Transfer Seal.
Anything larger than that would rarely be used.
Teleporting more than a thousand people at once would generally only be necessary during wartime.
Since the Ninja World was currently in a relatively peaceful state, there was no need to prepare that level yet.
With the Spatial Transfer Seals established, the speed of Konoha Village's relocation increased dramatically.
In less than two months, everyone except the ninjas of the First Ninja Division had moved to the Capital of the Land of Fire.
"I'm still a bit unaccustomed to having a new office." Kitazawa looked around, examining his new workplace.
The former Hokage Office had a modern design. In contrast, the new office followed a traditional style.
This was because it was located in a side hall of the Royal Palace of the Land of Fire. It resembled a classic study room.
Kitazawa walked toward the desk. A large pile of documents had already been placed on it.
He casually picked up one document. It was a map indicating the locations of the various departments within the Royal Palace.
The current Royal Palace had been divided into two sections: the front palace and the inner palace.
The front palace, also called the outer palace area, served as the working area for the various departments.
The inner palace served as the residence for Kitazawa, Tsunade, Kurenai Yuhi, and the others.
From now on, he would reside permanently in the Capital of the Land of Fire.
As for Konoha Village, whenever he was absent, Nagato would temporarily act as Hokage and manage the First Ninja Division.
Kitazawa briefly memorized the locations before placing the document aside.
The second document came from Uchiha Itachi.
It stated that he had already followed the instructions and planted Genjutsu suggestions within the nobles and officials of the Five Great Nations.
At the same time, he raised an important question. How should the other nations and ninja villages be handled?
Kitazawa stroked his chin thoughtfully.
It was indeed a good question. So far, he had only unified the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Ninja Villages.
He had not yet unified the entire Ninja World. After all, the recent Ninja World War had not involved the other nations and ninja villages.
However, dealing with them was quite simple.
"Konan, go call Shizu… call Hinata over." Kitazawa corrected himself mid-sentence.
Konan nodded and left the room.
"Teacher Kitazawa." A moment later, Hinata pushed the door open and entered.
As usual, she did not change the way she addressed him. She still felt that calling him "Teacher" was closer than other titles.
Kitazawa did not mind. He immediately began discussing the mission with her.
Simply put, the Hokage Secretariat would send official notifications to the other nations and ninja villages.
They would have two choices.
Either merge into the Land of Fire. Or wait for the personal arrival of Konoha Village's Ninja Division.
[Current Mission: Unify the Ninja World.]
[Mission Reward: Infinite Tsukuyomi.]
[Accept?]
Kitazawa let out a soft sound, slightly surprised.
Infinite Tsukuyomi, in simple terms, used the moon as a medium to cast a Genjutsu over the entire Ninja World.
Under normal circumstances, a ninja whose strength had not reached the Six Paths level would find it almost impossible to escape from Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Because Infinite Tsukuyomi was originally an ability of the Rinne Sharingan.
Kitazawa felt somewhat puzzled.
Did this mean that if he completed the system mission, he could use Infinite Tsukuyomi even without possessing the Rinne Sharingan?
Or would it merely be an incomplete version?
However, unless there were no other options left, he probably would never use Infinite Tsukuyomi anyway.
