That afternoon, Yoshino Masada once again organized an internal combat class for Class C.

Every student stepped onto the stage, shouting as they displayed their abilities.

Whoosh!

A young girl sent Morino Ibiki flying with a kick, her movements decisive.

"Well done. The student who puts me most at ease in our class is Uchiha Kazue. You've all seen her performance. Over the past year, she has improved by leaps and bounds, with her grades in every subject soaring from the middle of the pack. If all of you worked as hard as Kazue, I would feel even more at ease."

Yoshino Masada praised her loudly, his face full of admiration.

Uchiha Kazue had been utterly unremarkable over the past few years. Yet somehow, over the last year, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Though she had not yet graduated, she already nearly possessed the strength of a chunin.

Genitsu naturally took the stage as well. His opponent was the sickly Gekko Hayate. The two awkwardly traded blows for a while, and Genitsu's performance was even more mediocre.

Kazue took first place in this match. Over the past year, this had gradually become the norm, and everyone was astonished by the sudden eruption of her talent.

After class, Genitsu only got up to leave once most of the others had gone, returning to his residence.

As a war orphan, and with an inheritance left behind for him, his total wealth was fairly decent.

His most expensive everyday expense was making silver-fiber bandages, which consumed a large portion of his money. Still, that expense was necessary.

"At most, within half a year, I'll definitely be able to perfectly control the nuclear radiation inside my body. Does this count as Godzilla and me reaching some kind of balance...?"

Genitsu thought as he cooked.

There was no need to elaborate on how powerful and majestic a creature like Godzilla was. It could be called something like a "child of Earth."

In every version, Godzilla often existed as an important maintainer and supplement to Earth's ecosystem. It was also one of the few Titan behemoths that did not possess absolute hostility toward humanity.

But the problem was that a terrifying monster of that scale could cause unimaginably dreadful consequences with even the most insignificant action.

For example, the nuclear radiation that had plagued Genitsu for years.

Nuclear radiation was also the root reason Genitsu had become so lazy. The less he moved, the lower the total amount of nuclear leakage.

Moreover, Genitsu had every reason to believe that his physique was also being subtly altered by Godzilla—perhaps with the added influence of chakra. Otherwise, he would have long since died from the ever-increasing amount of nuclear radiation.

Likewise, his own process of refining chakra, along with his will, was influencing the slumbering Godzilla to a certain extent.

It was a two-way process, and also a process of mutually adapting to each other's existence.

"For all sorts of reasons, I don't dare refine chakra without restraint. But based on the information I've gathered in the past, I can deduce... the amount of chakra I can produce is definitely far greater than that of ordinary people!!"

This was the conclusion Genitsu had reached from learning the Three Basic Techniques at school and comparing the number of times he and others could use ninjutsu.

When many of his peers were already panting after using the Three Basic Techniques several times, Genitsu felt as though he had not even begun to warm up. He felt nothing at all...

And that was with him deliberately refraining from refining large amounts of chakra.

The total number of cells in a normal human body was roughly 130 trillion. To refine chakra, one had to combine the spiritual energy with those 130 trillion cells for refinement.

As a transmigrator, Genitsu was confident that his spiritual energy was greater than that of ordinary people. But spiritual energy alone could not have given him such terrifying chakra talent.

It could only be because of his physique.

"I possess powerful regenerative abilities and astonishing vitality. By all rights, this is a physique only the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan should possess..."

Genitsu took a deep breath.

Before long, he would be heading to the battlefield. Even if he only did logistics work and coasted along, he would sooner or later be drawn into the war.

Some things had to be done.

"We should officially meet as well, big guy..."

Genitsu murmured softly.

After dinner,

Genitsu went straight to bed and sat cross-legged, as though he were refining chakra. No matter who saw him, they would not find anything amiss.

After the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, ANBU, the security forces, and the barrier division frequently operated throughout the village, closely monitoring everything and guarding against enemy spies sneaking in.

At a time like this, he absolutely could not display any kind of abnormality.

This time, he was going to see the enormous creature inside his body with his own eyes!!

And first, he needed to confirm exactly which Godzilla the big guy inside him was!!
