Glint-Glint Fruit

Character Card:

Character: One Piece Admiral Kizaru

Fusion Rate: 9%

In Shimura Kizaru's mind, a 3D virtual, sleazy character card floated.

This was the cheat he had awakened after transmigrating into the Naruto world.

To accelerate the growth of his fusion rate, he had even forcibly changed his name from Shimura Senxin to Shimura Kizaru.

Such an act of defiance would have been dealt with by clan rules if committed by an ordinary clansman, but geniuses always enjoyed various privileges.

After Kizaru displayed his terrifying, monstrous talent, the name change became a trivial matter.

"As long as he doesn't change his surname, it's fine!"

These were the exact words spoken by the three elders who managed the clan.

Geniuses were the hope of every clan, and the strength and talent Kizaru displayed could no longer be described merely as "genius."

A monster!

This was how the Shimura clan privately described Kizaru; it was not derogatory, but a simple exclamation of awe.

To the Shimura clan, Danzo was an investment project that had reached its ceiling, while Kizaru was a newborn unicorn project worthy of the entire clan's blind investment.

This was also why Danzo's attempt to pull Kizaru into Root had failed; even as the Hokage Assistant and clan head, he could not oppose the will of the entire clan, unless he wanted to become truly isolated.

The Ninja Academy selection had ended, and after Kizaru displayed his terrifying strength and talent, the performance of every other new student became unworthy of mention.

Even with the heirs of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans and the future Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, among this year's intake, they could not attract a single shred of attention from the village.

It wasn't that those people were weak or lacked aptitude; it was simply that Kizaru's performance was too terrifying and monstrous.

The Shimura clan had produced a monstrous genius with the potential of the First Hokage.

With just one entrance selection, Kizaru had already begun to make a name for himself in the village.

The benefit of this was that the fusion rate in Kizaru's mind, which had been growing slowly for three whole months, began a period of rapid growth.

In just half a day, the fusion rate reached 10%, and the upward trend showed no signs of slowing down.

In the Shimura clan compound, inside the elegant courtyard where Kizaru lived alone, Kizaru sat on the tatami mat, leisurely sipping hot tea. Once the fusion rate hit 10%, he set down his cup.

Sitting up slightly straighter, an excited look appeared on Kizaru's face.

Upon reaching 10% fusion, Kizaru unlocked a new ability, which was the reason for his excitement.

Before reaching 10%, Kizaru had only gained Admiral Kizaru's physical potential, but now he had gained the Devil Fruit ability.

The Glint-Glint Fruit from One Piece—this was one of the abilities he had envied most when watching the series in his past life. It allowed for both offense and mobility, high damage and high evasion; it was simply a perfect ability.

Leaning his left hand on the tatami and tilting his body back, he raised his right hand, and a golden flash appeared on his extended right index finger.

The light was dazzling, then it gathered continuously, finally transforming into a laser that shot out from his index finger.

The laser passed through the gate Kizaru was facing and struck the rockery in the center of the courtyard.

BOOM!

The sound scattered, and the rockery, meticulously crafted by a master artisan, instantly turned into countless fist-sized fragments that littered the ground.

The strange noise from the courtyard startled many clansmen. A Jonin responsible for Kizaru's security arrived at the doorway in a flash using the Body Flicker Technique.

The first thing the Shimura Jonin did was look at Kizaru. After confirming he was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze to the courtyard.

"Young Master Kizaru, what happened?"

Shimura Isshin, one of the twelve Jonin of the Shimura clan, had been assigned by the three elders to Kizaru's side to be specifically responsible for his safety.

Kizaru's father in this life was Danzo's younger brother, an elite Jonin who had sacrificed himself during a mission in Root.

Clan head Danzo had no offspring, and Kizaru, as the child of Danzo's brother, was a direct descendant of the Shimura clan and the natural heir to the clan head position.

After showing extraordinary talent from a young age, he was determined by the clan early on to be the future head of the Shimura clan.

Even Danzo, as the clan head, could not raise any objections to such an arrangement and decision, because this decision embodied the entire clan's expectations for the future.

Standing up from the tatami and straightening his clothes, Kizaru walked over to Shimura Isshin.

"Uncle Isshin! Don't worry, the commotion just now was my doing."

Hearing Kizaru's explanation, Shimura Isshin relaxed his body and looked at Kizaru with confusion in his eyes.

Kizaru did not explain immediately, but instead looked toward the courtyard gate.

Outside the gate, the three elders of the Shimura clan, along with Danzo, who happened to be home, were walking into the courtyard together.

They first glanced at the rockery that had turned into countless shards of stone, then their gazes turned in unison toward Shimura Isshin and Kizaru standing at the doorway.

"Isshin, what happened just now?" Danzo asked with a frown.

Unaware of the situation, Isshin did not speak, but merely looked at Kizaru beside him.

Seeing Isshin's action, the four people in the courtyard understood that the commotion had been caused by Kizaru, and everyone focused their gazes on him.

"What a drag!" Kizaru sighed softly before preparing to explain.

Kizaru had no intention of hiding the power of his fruit, just as he had proactively displayed his talent when he was only three years old.

In the world of Naruto, within Konoha, being born into the Shimura clan and hiding one's talent would be an utterly foolish approach.

In this turbulent ninja world, those who choose the middle path only become cannon fodder; only geniuses are qualified to receive attention and cultivation.

Hiding one's talent and pretending to be mediocre would only lead to being abandoned by the clan early on, becoming a pawn that could be sacrificed at any moment.

Only by revealing one's talent and becoming a genius recognized by the clan would one receive the clan's meticulous cultivation and care.

Ever since he revealed his talent at the age of three, the special treatment from the clan had proven that Kizaru's choice was incomparably correct.

In front of everyone, Kizaru raised his right hand once more. Extending his index finger, a golden light bloomed from its tip, and a laser shot out rapidly, blasting a massive crater into the courtyard ahead.

Seeing this scene, a look of astonishment appeared on Danzo's face, while the three elders standing behind him were filled with pleasant surprise.

Because of their radiant smiles, the wrinkles on their faces became even more pronounced; the three elders looked as if their faces were about to crack from grinning so wide.

For men who had reached the twilight of their lives, what could be more joyous than the birth of an unparalleled genius within the clan?

"Little monkey, is this a ninjutsu you developed? Or..." The Great Elder paused here, looking at Kizaru with eyes full of anticipation.

"Compared to ninjutsu, I think it is more appropriate to call it a Kekkei Genkai," Kizaru said, speaking the words the Great Elder most wanted to hear.

His smile growing even brighter, the Great Elder hurried over to Kizaru, intimately grabbed his raised right hand, and held it tightly in his palm.

"How long ago did you discover it?" the Great Elder asked eagerly.

Kizaru put on a thoughtful expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps after finishing off the Uchiha."

Hearing Kizaru's answer, a sharp glint flashed in Danzo's eyes as he pondered whether he should have the clansmen in Root go and stir up more trouble for the Uchiha.

"When has our Shimura clan ever had such a Kekkei Genkai?"

The one who spoke was the Second Elder, who was slightly plump and looked very prosperous; he was specifically responsible for managing the clan's business and funds.

The Great Elder, still clutching Kizaru's right hand, hurriedly turned his head to glare fiercely at the Second Elder.

"You ignorant fool, the clan's historical records state that the ancestors of our Shimura clan once possessed a Kekkei Genkai known as Light Style," the Great Elder said with absolute certainty.

The Third Elder, who had been silent until now, also hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, our Shimura clan is indeed a ninja clan that possesses a Kekkei Genkai!"

Watching these two shameless old men, even Danzo, the "Darkness of the Shinobi," felt inferior by comparison.

It was no wonder the Great Elder was so shameless; the birth of a genius in the clan was a good thing, but if that genius was too monstrous, it would bring trouble.

Compared to a genius who created a Kekkei Genkai, a genius who awakened one was much easier for people to accept.

Therefore, after receiving Kizaru's answer, the Great Elder immediately defined the ability Kizaru displayed as the awakening of the clan's ancient bloodline.

This was a form of protection for Kizaru, and also a form of protection for the clan.
