So Gengetsu Hozuki wants me to become Mizukage…
This was far more shocking than anything he had expected!
Once he was certain Gengetsu wasn't joking, Aoi felt a little overwhelmed. Of course — a man as outstanding as myself is like a firefly in the dark, impossible to miss…
Even so, Aoi turned the offer down.
"Remember — the position of Mizukage will always be open to you," Gengetsu said regretfully as he turned to leave.
"Such immense talent… it would be such a waste to let you wander the world as a rogue ninja…"
A three‑year‑old already stronger than the Kage level — the Leaf Village truly did not know what they had lost.
Only after Gengetsu departed with a sigh did Aoi grin coldly. Mizukage? That position is far too small to satisfy my ambitions!
A true man sets his sights on great things and marches forward without hesitation. How could he stop just for a little benefit along the way?
"I am destined to become the Supreme Lord of the Ninja World!"
With his farewell to the former Mizukage done, the sky cleared, the wind filled the sails, and Aoi's ship headed south.
Of course, there were days of bad weather along the way. But thanks to Yakumo Kurama's Kekkei Genkai, one stroke of her brush would disperse the dark clouds, and the sky would turn bright and clear once more…
The sails never rested, and within a few days, Aoi caught sight from afar of the meteorite Seimei had described.
Massive banks of storm clouds gathered like guests at a grand assembly, while terrifying bolts of purple lightning coiled and writhed inside them like wild serpents.
Most of the lightning struck down toward the center of a barren, desolate island.
As the ship drew closer, Aoi could see a chunk of purple meteorite, about half the height of a man, sitting right in the middle, bathed in endless thunderbolts.
Beneath the relentless bombardment, the ground around it had been stripped bare and flattened by stray bolts.
Yet the meteorite itself remained shining and unblemished, as if it had never been touched at all!
What a treasure!
"System, what is this meteorite valued at in the shop?" Aoi couldn't help but ask. Such a material was sure to be worth a fortune.
"Five million points."
Gulp…
Aoi swallowed hard. Even though he had expected it to be expensive, he never imagined the value would be this staggering.
But wait a moment…
Was the System really being this generous?
Giving him an item worth five million points and throwing in a Kage‑grade chest? This wasn't like the System he knew — there had to be a catch…
Even so, Aoi could not turn back now.
He wasn't about to reach such a treasure and walk away empty‑handed without even trying…
"Flying Thunder God Seal!"
Aoi marked the ship with the technique and then shot straight toward the lightning‑attracting meteorite. At his speed, a distance of one thousand meters took only a few seconds…
The entire storm cloud was only about ten kilometers wide — he could reach the meteorite and grab it in no more than ten breaths!
Worst comes to worst, I can just teleport back to the ship. Having reassured himself that the plan was foolproof, Aoi plunged straight into the dense layers of thunderclouds.
But the moment he entered, he froze in shock.
BOOM!
Terrifying bolts of purple lightning rained down like a heavy downpour, filling every inch of space around him. Instinctively, Aoi unleashed his signature move…
"Serpent Lightning Cutter!"
Pale white lightning roared to life around his hand. Yet the same technique that once shook heaven and earth now stirred not even the slightest ripple.
The white lightning charged forward like a foreign invader, tearing through one bolt of purple lightning.
But before it could go any further, dozens of purple bolts swarmed in from all sides, ripping it apart and swallowing it whole…
