Arasaka Saburo deeply hated his father for constantly extending his life. He firmly believed that humanity could advance only because people were born, aged, and died, so he was strongly opposed to life extension.
After all, if immortality became possible, those in power would only grow more tyrannical and oppress the lower classes.
Li Ke was genuinely surprised. He truly hadn't expected Arasaka Saburo to be so enlightened!
"You're really interesting..."
Li Ke glanced at Arasaka Saburo. The cautious look on Saburo's face only made Li Ke more interested in him.
"Then I'll grant you some power."
Li Ke drew out some of his magic and sent it into Arasaka Saburo's body. It would give Saburo some of a dragon's power, while placing his life and death entirely under Li Ke's control.
That way, whether Arasaka Saburo was truly a good person or merely pretending to be one, his life and death would still belong to Li Ke.
In return, however, Arasaka Saburo would be able to unleash Li Ke's Dragon Fire, and his lifespan and physical abilities would be no worse than those of an average elite jonin.
Add in all the cyberware in his body, and he shouldn't have much trouble taking on an elderly Third Hokage.
But more importantly—
From now on, if Arasaka Saburo encountered the aura of World Power, he would be able to sense it instantly! And Li Ke could use Saburo's body to pinpoint his location!
Once Li Ke finished analyzing the spatial data of this world, he would be able to arrive in an instant and destroy the fallen Seven Days to Die World Fragment!
"This is... power!"
Arasaka Saburo stared excitedly at the flames on his body. He was even more certain now that Li Ke was the god of legend.
