Charging! Hundredfold Evolution Speed!

Several kilometers away from the waterfall.

Kazama Kaguya toyed with the scroll he had given Kisame Hoshigaki for the first time, staring at the three options written on it before tearing it to shreds with a rip.

"Kirigakure barrier deployment map? High-level personnel list and weaknesses? Summoning Jutsu formulas for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? I'm not trying to overthrow Kirigakure, why would I need these?"

"Teacher Kisame, your weaknesses are too obvious."

Scattering the scroll fragments into the rushing river, Kazama Kaguya felt a surge of pleasure.

To open a window, sometimes one must advocate for tearing down the roof.

This thing was originally just a stepping stone, and now that its purpose had been achieved, it could naturally be discarded.

Kazama Kaguya knew that if he had asked Kisame Hoshigaki to teach him from the start, he definitely wouldn't have agreed.

But if he first listed Kirigakure's intelligence as payment, then he would choose a condition that seemed strenuous but in reality didn't require him to violate his principles at all.

"Teacher Kisame, you were my former Jonin instructor, after all. If you don't teach me some real skills, how can I let you go?"

"The reason Kirigakure can't compare to Konoha is the Will of Fire. If you don't pay, how can I grow? When a Rogue Ninja makes a name for himself, Kirigakure gets a share of the fame too."

Kazama Kaguya, in a good mood, found a convenient spot for long-term camping and then took out a summoning scroll from his ninja pouch.

This was the supply he had prepared when he defected, containing a tent, first-aid medicine, a cooking pot, dried meat, seasonings, and other items, which were now put to good use.

"It's also that my Chakra doesn't have the Earth release, otherwise I would have at least tried to unlock Wood Release first."

Kazama Kaguya began to laboriously set up the tent.

Wood Release was second to none in the ninja world for building houses.

Users who brought their own luxury villas wherever they went all said it was good.

Of course, Kazama Kaguya's innate Chakra affinities were only Water, not Earth. Once he cultivated the Earth release in the future, he wouldn't have to go through this trouble.

After spending half an hour setting up the campsite, Kazama Kaguya sat cross-legged in the tent and once again opened the information on the Evolution Obelisk.

[Evolver: Kazama Kaguya]
[Chakra Amount: 30 Cards]
[Chakra Affinities: Water, Lightning, Yang, Yin]
[Bloodline: Pureblood Otsutsuki Larva]
[Bloodline Awakening Skills: All-Killing Ash Bones, Karma Seed]
[Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan]
[Equation List 1: Water + Lightning = Storm Release? (Charging 8%)]
[Equation List 2: Water + Yang = ? Lightning + Yang = ?] (Charging 0%)

Looking at the information "[Chakra Amount: 30 Cards]", Kazama Kaguya said with satisfaction, "After evolving into an Otsutsuki Larva, my Chakra amount increased from 0.3 Cards to 30 Cards, a full hundredfold increase."

"So, has the charging speed also increased a hundredfold?"

He looked at Equation List 1 with eager anticipation. "Equation, charge."

[Equation List 1: Water + Lightning = Storm Release? (Charging 8%)] [Current Chakra Amount: 30 Cards, Charging Efficiency: 50%/day. Continue charging?]

"50% efficiency?"

Kazama Kaguya rejoiced, "Haha, the charging speed has indeed increased a hundredfold."

Before evolving, with his 0.3 Cards of Chakra, he could only charge the equation by 0.5% per day.

Compared to now, it was like riding a rocket.

"Charge, charge immediately," Kazama Kaguya commanded with excitement.

[Charging...] [Charging Complete] [Equation List 1: Water + Lightning = Storm Release? (Charging 58%)]

The Evolution Obelisk extracted Chakra very crudely, and in the blink of an eye, 99% of his Chakra was depleted.

The charging value on the Obelisk instantly soared to 58%.

As a large amount of Chakra was extracted, Kazama Kaguya's face turned pale.

A familiar sense of weakness washed over him, giving his face a sickly look again.

"Familiar formula, familiar taste. Just like the two years I spent in Kirigakure."

Feeling the discomfort in his body, Kazama Kaguya felt as if he had returned to Kirigakure Village.

In the two years after his transmigration, he was in a state of extreme charging almost every day.

To maintain a 0.5% efficiency daily, he was constantly in a state of Chakra depletion.

He was emaciated, his face pale, looking like someone with an active Bloodline Disease on the verge of death.

Fortunately, the Kaguya Clan's straightforward nature meant there was no backstabbing or scheming. As someone with a Bloodline Disease, he could manage to survive.

However, things were different now.

Although the feeling of weakness was the same, the benefits had increased a hundredfold.

Compared to the immense benefits, these bearable side effects were insignificant.

A 50% daily charging efficiency meant he could evolve a new Kekkei Genkai in just two days.

"Two days! I'll be able to master Storm Release! In a year, that's 180 types!"

Kazama Kaguya clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a thirst for power.

But this was the ideal scenario.

Reality was far from it.

If he maintained the extreme charging state and had his Chakra drained daily, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

"My body needs to charge up quickly too. I absolutely can't push myself like this anymore."

He endured the weakness and walked out of the tent to start a fire and cook. He boiled a large pot of dried meat, which would provide him with enough physical energy.

However, recovering from mental energy depletion was slower, usually requiring sufficient rest and meditation.

Next, he still had to accept Kisame Hoshigaki's teachings.

Kazama Kaguya believed that after being tricked so many times, Kisame would definitely torment him severely now that he finally had the chance to get back at him.

"I suppose I'm getting what I wished for. At least I don't have to worry about Kisame holding back."

"Starting tomorrow, I'll lower the charging efficiency a bit."

Kazama Kaguya calculated the ratio of expenditure to gains and finally settled on a more suitable figure.

Spending 15 Chakra daily to gain a 25% charging efficiency.

He would keep 15 Chakra to deal with battles and practice Ninjutsu.

Evolving a Kekkei Genkai every four days was completely within acceptable limits.

"That's settled then."

With his decision made, Kazama Kaguya quickly devoured the cooked dried meat, then returned to his tent, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating to restore his mental energy.

This meditation was similar to a semi-sleep state.

By clearing his mind and not thinking about anything, he could quickly alleviate the pain of his mental energy being drained.

However, the moment Kazama Kaguya entered meditation this time, he sensed something different from before.

Unknowingly, he entered a hazy, gray world.

In this world, he was a spiritual body emitting white light, still in the form of an Otsutsuki Larva.

White hair, white eyes, horns on his head, suspended in the air.

His form was slightly indistinct, lacking a sense of realism.

Countless smoke-like things drifted around him, light and graceful.

In the center of the spiritual world, dense gray mist surrounded a colossal Obelisk.

It reached the heavens and the earth, as if propping up the entire world.

The Obelisk had a soft, silver-white luster, standing silently in the depths of his sea of consciousness. Golden characters were engraved on it, shining brightly.

"Is this the Evolution Obelisk? Are the golden characters my personal information?"

Kazama Kaguya looked at it all in astonishment.

He had never imagined that his cheat system would have a physical form.

He gazed at the colossal monument, a mixture of gold and silver, and felt a vast, mysterious aura wash over him.

He subconsciously wanted to approach it.

The next moment, the colossal Obelisk suddenly vanished, turning into a stream of light that drilled into his body.
