Thor Descends Upon the World!

Even the Lightning Dragon was rendered immobile by the Five-Shot Technique at this moment.

Qingyun's stamina was nearing its limit, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. He was incredibly headstrong; he wanted to win, to surpass the Third Hokage in this very moment.

"Goro Goro no Mi! It all depends on you!"

"200 Million Volts: Thunder God!" Qingyun revealed his final trump card. The voltage of this move was more than three times higher than the previous Lightning Dragon. Because this technique exceeded the range of power Qingyun could currently handle, he was vomiting blood even as he unleashed it.

The Third Hokage was stunned. He had never seen a four-year-old child fight with such desperation. Seeing the massive lightning figure behind Qingyun that mirrored his own form, the Third knew this boy had unleashed his true finishing move.

"Is this your trump card? An attack of this magnitude could slay even an elite Kage-level shinobi, but... your current body doesn't seem capable of bearing it," the Third muttered to himself.

Because of the crackling lightning surrounding them, Qingyun didn't hear a single word the Third said.

Qingyun's consciousness was fading, and at this moment, he had only one goal: to defeat the Third Hokage standing before him.

The 200 Million Volts: Thunder God collided with the Five-Shot Technique, and then a terrifying scene unfolded.

The four Anbu members who had set up the barrier were instantly blown away by the explosive shockwave.

A massive crater was blasted into the ground, and the edges of the Konoha Forest were scorched black—the result of everything the lightning had touched.

At this moment, the Third Hokage was panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, surrounded by the Adamantine Staff, which was actually Enma in his transformed state.

Enma, possessing a body of indestructible diamond, had used his own form to shield the Third Hokage.

Due to exhaustion, Qingyun collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

"H-how is this possible? Third, did you kill this child?"

"Third! You're injured! And it's not light! What happened? Did you accidentally hurt yourself?"

"Could it be... he was the one who injured you?"

The Third nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry about the details. Take him to the hospital now and treat him with everything you've got!"

The Anbu members knew what should and shouldn't be said, so they remained silent behind their masks.

Qingyun felt pain throughout his entire body; even opening his eyes was an arduous task.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the system's voice rang out immediately.

"Host, you're awake? Don't do something like that again."

"What happened to me?" Qingyun asked, feeling somewhat dazed.

"You're only four years old, yet you used 200 Million Volts: Thunder God. Do you think you're Enel? Even Enel can't just use that whenever he wants. Is it really worth risking your life just to fight a Hokage?" the system chided.

"Didn't you tell me to try my best to defeat him?" Qingyun retorted.

"True, but if I really wanted you to defeat him, I wouldn't have said 'try your best.' You were lucky this time; that clothing absorbed a lot of the damage for you. Otherwise, you might not have been able to fight ever again," the system said.

"Is it really that serious?" Qingyun asked.

"Of course. The system rewards you with various abilities, but those are only the most basic versions. The extent to which you can manifest them depends entirely on you."

"Don't forget your age—you are only four. If you keep going like this, even if you complete the mission, you'll be cutting your future short. Don't do it again." The system gave Qingyun a stern lecture.

Qingyun was someone who learned from his mistakes, so he took the system's words to heart.

"So, what about the mission now?" Qingyun still couldn't stop thinking about his objective.

"Your mission was completed quite well," the system said. "Because you nearly defeated the Third, I'll upgrade your 'Turn Decay into Magic' ability by one tier. Do you want to exchange the Flying Thunder God technique for something else?"

Qingyun naturally replied, "Yes."

"Then I will swap it for a different reward and increase the tier! Consider it compensation for your reckless behavior this time. If you do it again, I won't help you," the system said.

It was the first time Qingyun realized the system had a human touch, so he agreed to its request.

"Greetings, Host! 'Turn Decay into Magic' has randomly exchanged for: Indra Clan Bloodline."

"The Indra Clan Bloodline can complete your chakra nature affinities and greatly amplify the power of your Yin Release. Most importantly, you will directly awaken the Single Tomoe Sharingan."

"Furthermore, it can grow into a Double Tomoe, Triple Tomoe, Mangekyo, Eternal Mangekyo, and eventually the Rinnegan."

"This can be considered the pinnacle of ocular jutsu in this world," the system explained.

Qingyun nodded in acknowledgment, "The Indra bloodline is indeed a powerful lineage. However, if I use the Sharingan, it might cause me trouble."

The system replied, "That's simple. I can set it to default to a cloaking mode. No one in this world will be able to see your Sharingan, unless you want them to."

Qingyun shook his head, "I certainly don't."

Qingyun wanted to become Hokage; he didn't want to earn the hatred of the Uchiha at this stage, nor did he want to see the Uchiha clan wiped out. He already had a solid plan for dealing with them, but it was naturally too early for that.

"OK! Awakening complete! You might need some time before you notice the changes and differences."

"That's all for now. If there's a new mission, I'll appear again. Someone is coming." The system then vanished.

To Qingyun's surprise, the person who appeared before him was none other than the Third Hokage.

Since he was lying in a hospital bed, the Third had come without his pipe this time, accompanied by Anbu and dressed in his full Hokage regalia.

"Teacher Sarutobi," Qingyun nodded politely.

"You all step out. I need to speak with Qingyun," the Third commanded.

The Anbu obeyed and left, leaving no one else in the ward.

"You brat, to think you were hiding such a terrifying trump card. If you hadn't collapsed from exhaustion, I might have actually been defeated by you." The Third Hokage dropped all formalities, speaking with a half-joking tone that showed just how much he valued Qingyun.

"I am truly ashamed, Teacher. I had no choice; I am too young and my body is too weak. I ran out of stamina and couldn't continue the fight, so I passed out," Qingyun said, sounding a bit aggrieved.

The Third replied with a wry smile, "I don't mean to blame you. I just think your strength is absurd. Even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara couldn't reach this level at your age."

"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, what you used wasn't a simple Lightning Release, was it?" the Third asked directly.
