In Tenten's bedroom, the intimate atmosphere grew warmer. The two embraced tightly, intertwining.

Shun smiled gently, everything was within his expectations.
He could clearly feel a surge of energy slowly moving where their bodies touched. That energy carried a pure life force—it was the power within Tenten's body awakening and ascending.
The moment the System notification sounded, Tenten felt a sudden warm current erupt from deep within, rapidly spreading through her limbs and bones.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into surging energy waves, impacting her Chakra pathways, which were nourished and reshaped by this force.
She subconsciously tilted her head and let out a soft moan. "Ahn... This feeling is too wonderful."
Driven by an uncontrollable tremor, her entire skin began to glow with a faint golden light at this moment.
The light spread to her limbs, making her appear even more radiant and translucent.
Boom!
An unprecedented energy suddenly erupted from within her body, carrying a pure, natural aura.
Tenten's eyes were slightly closed, her cheeks flushed with a healthy blush.
She could clearly feel her body undergoing earth-shattering changes, yet she had no idea why these changes were happening.
She subconsciously gripped Shun's arm tightly, her body trembling slightly.
"Shun, what... what's happening to me? There seems to be a strange power running wild inside my body. I'm a little scared."
Seeing the fear and unease in her eyes, Shun gently kissed her cheek, gazing tenderly into her eyes and soothing the panic in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, Tenten. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's a good thing."
He gently pulled her into his embrace, placing his palm on her back, slowly sending out a trace of gentle Chakra to guide the restless energy within her body.
"Your body absorbed the power I left inside you and successfully underwent the awakening of the Human Sage Body."
Golden light flowed ceaselessly over Tenten, slowly moving as if alive. The energy within her body gradually stabilized under the guidance.
Leaning against Shun's chest, listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat, and feeling the warmth and stabilizing strength he conveyed, the panic in her heart gradually dissipated.
She slowly lowered her head, looked at her faintly golden hands, and gently moved her arms. A full and majestic power instantly surged throughout her body—an experience she had never had before.
Seeing Tenten's transformation, Shun was quite satisfied, as this was the result of his careful planning.
As his strength reached a brand new level, he was no longer a host passively receiving System gifts. Instead, he could use his own strength to reverse-engineer and tamper with some of the System's rules. He could replicate some of his abilities onto others using the System's methods.
This absolute control over power gave him the confidence to pave a road leading to Godhood for his queens.
He carefully lifted Tenten horizontally, letting her rest comfortably in his arms.
"Tenten, my Queen, you are destined not to be a mortal. You should know that this is only your starting point. In the future, you will transform into the 'Goddess of Hope,' revered by thousands, wielding the Power Of Hope in the world."
Tenten looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief, confusion, and helplessness. "I... I am the Goddess of Hope? Shun, are you joking?"
She subconsciously looked down at her hands. Although the surging power felt real, the word "Goddess" was too distant and unreal for a regular ninja like her, who had only known training and missions since childhood.
Shun pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead, then playfully pinched her flushed cheek. "I never joke. Not just you, but my twenty-four Queens will each eventually wield a Divine Authority, transform into Goddesses, and protect this world alongside me."
"For example: Tsunade's medical skills are divine, and she cares for all beings. She will become the Goddess of Life."
"Temari controls the power of wind and acts decisively. She will be the Goddess of Wind."
"Kurotsuchi is proficient in Earth Release and is steady. She will be the Goddess of Earth, guarding the foundation of the world."
"Kaguya has an unbreakable bond with the moon. She will transform into the Goddess of Moon, managing the ebb and flow of tides and lighting up the night."
"Chie is naturally in control of ice and has a pure heart. She is the perfect candidate for the Goddess of Ice."
"Miroku can foresee the future and discern Karma. She is naturally the Goddess of Destiny, guiding the Karma of the world..."
Tenten listened dumbfounded, her eyes wide, and she subconsciously softened her breathing, afraid of interrupting his words.
Only after Shun had completely finished speaking did she slowly recover, her eyes filled with a trace of curiosity and deep apprehension.
"Then... what exactly is the purpose of me becoming the Goddess of Hope? I don't have Tsunade-sama's medical skills, nor do I have Temari-sama's power. I'm afraid I can't handle such a heavy responsibility."
Shun interrupted her, gazing at her with incredibly earnest eyes, "Tenten, you have your own extraordinary qualities."
"After becoming the Goddess of Hope, you will possess an affinity for Natural Energy and Power Of Faith far exceeding ordinary people. Not only can you easily absorb and convert these two powers for your own use, but your lifespan will also be infinitely close to eternal, lasting as long as the world, accompanying me forever."
"More importantly, when mortals fall into despair and lose the will to live, they only need to pray devoutly to you, and they will feel the Power Of Hope you radiate, reigniting the courage to live and escaping their predicament."
Tenten grew increasingly confused, her eyes full of bewilderment.
She gently shook her head. "But I don't understand what the power of hope is at all. I never knew I had such an ability."
Since childhood, she had only known how to train. She never imagined she would possess such miraculous power, let alone how to use it.
Shun looked at her adorable and confused appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You inherently possess this potential, it just hadn't awakened yet. You are naturally optimistic and cheerful, never giving up even when faced with desperate situations, and you are skilled at weaving hope through imagination, infecting those around you. This trait is the core of the Power Of Hope."
"When you fully awaken your Divine Position in the future, those you bestow power upon will not only temporarily gain the courage to face difficulties, but their thinking will also become flexible and agile, and they may even gain a certain amount of power in a short time, surpassing their limits."
Being affirmed and praised so directly by the person she loved, Tenten's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and waves of sweetness rose in her heart.
"Ah... Am I really that outstanding? I just did what I was supposed to do, and I never thought it would have such a great effect."
After speaking, a faint blush spread across her cheeks.
Shun's eyes became incredibly deep, as if containing the entire starry sky.
"Tenten, you are far more outstanding than you imagine. When you fully become the Goddess of Hope in the future, you will possess exclusive Divine Power and be able to develop unique Divine Techniques based on your own understanding."
"As for the Chakra you currently possess, I will personally eliminate all traces of it within your body. Not just you, I will make Chakra completely disappear from the history of the Ninja World."
"Shun, why erase Chakra?"
Tenten looked up, her eyes filled with confusion and worry. "Chakra is the foundation of ninjas. We rely on it to train, fight, and protect our comrades. If it's erased, what will happen to the Ninja World? Also, will this be dangerous for people who already have Chakra? Will they lose their power or even endanger their lives?"
Shun looked at her worried expression, and his heart softened even more. "Chakra is inherently a product of the Ōtsutsuki clan, a tool they used to enslave the beings of this world and extract the planet's energy. It hides many unknown risks and dangers. Keeping it is the greatest threat to the Ninja World."
"Did you know that Chakra completely changes the cellular structure of the human body? Ordinary people have only 28 to 36 trillion cells in their bodies, but after acquiring Chakra, the cell count can surge to over 130 trillion. The more cells, the more vitality is consumed. This is why the lifespan of ninjas is often much shorter than that of normal humans. Many ninjas die young because excessive cell consumption exhausts their vitality."
"More importantly, the will and imprint of the Ōtsutsuki clan still remain in Chakra. The soul can be subtly eroded, and they might even be controlled by the Ōtsutsuki, becoming pawns for their invasion of the Ninja World and plunder of energy."
"Furthermore, there are too many unknown effects, far more terrifying than we imagine. Only by completely eliminating Chakra can the Ninja World truly escape the shadow of the Ōtsutsuki clan."
