Awakening!

Ming Jing was currently troubled. As a Libra, he hated making choices the most. If it were a choice between two options, he could tolerate it, but now Ming Jing's multiple-choice question had 108 options for just four selections...

He looked at this one, then at that one...

Every genjutsu was incredibly practical! This choice was simply too difficult! Suddenly, Ming Jing remembered two techniques his old man had used on him: "Wash Away Stains" and "Mother-Child Green Coins." Even a powerful figure like his old man chose to use these two techniques, which indirectly proved their extraordinary nature.

With that thought, Ming Jing began to search.

Wash Away Stains (Talisman Technique Gate): The beginner stage's effect is to remove text from books. The intermediate stage is to remove enemies from the public's sight. The advanced stage is to remove enemies from the world's map.

Mother-Child Green Coins (Hand Technique Gate, Transport Gate): The beginner stage is to copy an enemy's abilities. The intermediate stage is to copy various elemental chakras. The advanced stage is to integrate the copied items into a brand new container.

Putting Wash Away Stains aside for now, Mother-Child Green Coins was an absolute must-pick! The description looked simple, but it was clearly a divine skill! For example, if he could copy and transfer Kekkei Genkai like Storm Release, Ice Release, or Dust Release to himself... Just thinking about it was incredibly satisfying!

After choosing the first one, the rest became simpler. Hundred-Step Lamp Extinguisher was a must-pick. The strong individuals in the Naruto world were mostly ninjutsu-based. Taijutsu users were few, like Guy, the Fourth Raikage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Kimimaro. Therefore, Hundred-Step Lamp Extinguisher was definitely an S-rank genjutsu.

For the third choice, Ming Jing thought about it and decided to pick Seed Golden Elixir. This technique could be considered a life cheat. No matter what one did, success couldn't be achieved through solo efforts alone. A classic example was Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Fortunately, Madara Uchiha eventually had a change of heart and, through deception and manipulation, rallied Akatsuki, nearly achieving his ideals. Now, Ming Jing had a ready-made advantage, and it would be too embarrassing not to utilize it.

Seed Golden Elixir (Medicine Technique Gate): Create a seed and plant it within the breeder's body, waiting for it to sprout and grow to change the breeder's physical quality. (Precautions: The quality of the seed depends on the crafting materials. Living beings and flesh and blood cannot be used as materials. It must be crafted on the night of the full moon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month each year to succeed. All conditions are indispensable.)

What the Kurama Clan lacked now was members, and the biggest reason for this lack was the clan's insufficient protection for its members. The members of the Kurama Clan were useless except for genjutsu, and their physical bodies were also weak. On the battlefield, without a meat shield to protect them, these individuals would be easily killed if they weren't careful.

Now, with the divine skill Seed Golden Elixir, Ming Jing could try to cultivate some meat shield-type clan members to specifically protect those who had awakened their bloodline limit. He already had a general idea of how to cultivate them, and whether it would work would require discussion with Koji Kurama.

After choosing three, the fourth choice became even simpler. Ming Jing chose Blade-less Head Shave!

"Just looking at the name fills me with a sense of bloodlust and eeriness!" Ming Jing chuckled. This was the Naruto world, a world where entire clans could be wiped out at any moment! How could he manage without some deterrent?

Blade-less Head Shave (Transport Gate): Heart moves, action follows, nine deaths, one life!

This description was the simplest among the 108 techniques, yet it was the most terrifying. However, The Goose Illusionary Book was indeed a compilation of Chinese genjutsu. Even such a bloodthirsty technique left a sliver of hope.

"Mother-Child Green Coins, Seed Golden Elixir, Hundred-Step Lamp Extinguisher, Blade-less Head Shave, you four will accompany me to forge my path in the Naruto world!" Ming Jing looked at the four techniques he had chosen, feeling that with just these four, he would be famous enough in the Naruto world!

While Ming Jing was choosing techniques in his consciousness, two days had passed in the outside world. This was unprecedented for the Kurama Clan's bloodline awakening. Koji Kurama, as the Clan Head, couldn't help but become anxious. He looked at the elders of the clan and asked, "Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The elders were also bewildered. They had lived for so many years and had never encountered such a situation!

"Koji, look, Ming Jing is reacting!" At this moment, Mai Kurama, who had been watching Ming Jing, exclaimed in surprise.

"Hoo!" With a breath, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The elders even shed tears of joy, kowtowing repeatedly to thank the gods for their blessings.

"How is my Ming Jing?" Koji Kurama asked nervously, looking at Ming Jing lying on the bed.

"Ugh... I'm so hungry!..." Ming Jing woke up, his first reaction being hunger. This made everyone around him chuckle. This child seemed to have no idea what he had experienced!

"Ming Jing is hungry! Momoe, go bring the prepared meat porridge." Mai Kurama immediately instructed.

Ming Jing looked at everyone inexplicably and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

"Hahaha..." Koji Kurama laughed. "Ming Jing, don't you know you've awakened our Kurama Clan's bloodline limit? You're the first clansman to awaken it in nearly twenty years! The last bloodline limit user of our Kurama Clan died in the Third Shinobi World War. You are now the only bloodline limit user of the Kurama Clan!"

Ming Jing felt a bit awkward inside. Fortunately, he had chosen Mother-Child Green Coins and Seed Golden Elixir. With these two, the rise of the Kurama Clan was inevitable.

"The meat porridge is here!" Momoe trotted over with a bowl, followed by a person dressed as a chef, who was carrying a pot...

"Clan Head, I'm fine now. Let everyone else go rest first!" After drinking a bowl of meat porridge, Ming Jing felt much better. He thought of his plan and looked at Koji Kurama.

"Ming Jing is right. Everyone, disperse!" Koji Kurama nodded, letting everyone else go to rest. Only he and Ming Jing remained in the room.

"Alright, everyone's gone. Ming Jing, what did you want to say?" Koji Kurama asked after closing his eyes and sensing that no one else was in the room.

"I've gained two abilities from this awakening: Seed Golden Elixir and Mother-Child Green Coins..." Ming Jing then explained his acquired abilities to Koji Kurama. The fastest and simplest way to establish a force was to leverage the Kurama Clan's strength. To achieve this, he needed Koji Kurama's support, so Ming Jing chose to tell him directly.

Ming Jing wasn't sure about Koji Kurama's character, but he dared to speak because he trusted The Goose Illusionary Book! Therefore, even if Koji Kurama betrayed him, he would still have the means to turn things around.

More importantly, Koji Kurama wasn't stupid!

After hearing about Ming Jing's two abilities, Koji Kurama was overjoyed. This was a heaven-sent opportunity!

He paced back and forth twice, unable to think of what he should do next. Koji Kurama couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing he was indeed a simpleton!

He looked at Ming Jing and asked earnestly, "Ming Jing, what's your plan?"

"We need time, people, money, and materials! An opportunity has presented itself. The Nine-Tails Fox has just rampaged through the village. The village is busy with reconstruction. We can buy a plot of land in the village center. Additionally, we should dispatch clan disciples to search for talented children outside the village and bring them back for training. Materials include tungsten, flying graphite, rare earth elements, mithril, soul jade, heavenly thunder stone, shallow grass dew, lightning-struck peach wood, Rafflesia arnoldii, Bodhi leaves, wormwood, ********* mushrooms, mandrake, black feather cactus, Gordonia axillaris, Chinese evergreen oak, coral tree, holly, Acacia auriculiformis, and so on." Ming Jing thought for a moment.

"Bringing children from outside isn't a big problem, but buying land in the village center is a bit difficult. The good locations are occupied by the Nara and Akimichi clans," Koji Kurama frowned.

"Then we'll settle for the next best thing and choose a location near the main gate," Ming Jing said without hesitation.

"Okay, talented children... How will we know if a child has talent?" Koji Kurama continued to ask.

"Prioritize children with bloodline limits, and secondarily, children who are healthy and have no defects," Ming Jing thought for a moment and added, "If there's an opportunity, perhaps send someone to the Land of Water to try and abduct a child from the Mizuki Clan?"

Koji Kurama nodded. "The Land of Water, huh?... I'll make arrangements. Ming Jing, you should rest well. The future of the Kurama Clan rests on your shoulders." With that, Koji Kurama turned and left, feeling full of energy at that moment.
