Konoha.
The Hyuga Clan.
The sprawling courtyard was lavishly decorated, but the rows upon rows of buildings carried an oppressive feeling, like a palace with its gates locked tight.
An eight-year-old boy suddenly stood up.
His pure white eyes gazed out the window.
"Whoa! I've been transported to another world?! This is... Konoha, from the Naruto world."
"And... I'm a member of the Hyuga Clan's branch family?"
Hyuga Kagami looked around at the enormous house before him. It had no furniture, and there were instant noodle containers on the table that hadn't been cleared away in days. Even as a member of the Hyuga Clan's branch family, how could things be this bad?
In his previous life, the mortgage, car loan, and parking-space loan had weighed heavily on him.
But things had never been this miserable!
"Now that I've been transported here, I should at least get the usual perks, right?"
Hyuga Kagami tried asking, "System?"
[Ding! The All-Heavens Sign-In System has been successfully activated!]
A cold electronic voice rang out in his mind.
Hyuga Kagami's eyes lit up. "Now we're talking."
[Ding! As the host has never used a system before, an explanation will be provided!] [This system is the All-Heavens Sign-In System. The host can sign in every day to receive any reward from the worlds of the heavens!] [For every 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 10,000... days of sign-ins, the host will receive a high-probability bonus reward!] [Ding! The system has detected that the host has gone eight years without signing in!] [Would you like to start making up for missed sign-ins?]
What???
Make up for missed sign-ins???
The system's cold voice echoed in his mind, and Hyuga Kagami was stunned.
"I know about all-heavens sign-in systems. I used to read novels like this all the time in my previous life. By signing in, you can gain all kinds of abilities from countless worlds. You don't even need to train to become incredibly powerful and reach the pinnacle of life!"
"But... what's this about eight years without signing in?"
Hyuga Kagami was baffled.
Hadn't he just been transported to this world?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind!
"This boy named Hyuga Kagami is exactly eight years old this year. In other words... this system isn't my cheat. It was the original owner's!"
But unfortunately, because the system had awakened so late,
the original owner had never gotten to enjoy the pinnacle of life. Instead, he had died in this house.
Now that he had taken over this body,
the system and its power were all his!
"Start making up for the missed sign-ins right now!"
Hyuga Kagami commanded without hesitation.
[Ding! Would you like to make up for eight years of sign-ins all at once?]
"Yes!"
Hyuga Kagami nodded firmly. If making up for the missed sign-ins would make him stronger, he certainly wasn't going to pass up the chance!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Absolute Control talent!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained all chakra natures!] ... [Ding! Congratulations, host! Your base attributes have increased by 1!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! Your base attributes have increased by 100!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! Your speed attribute has increased by 1,000!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! Your strength attribute has increased by 10,000!] ... [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Sage Body!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the ninjutsu: Rotation!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained Wood Release!] [Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon!] ... [Ding... The sign-in system has advanced! It has been upgraded to a C-rank system! Sign-ins can now grant the host powerful rewards.] [Ding... The sign-in system has advanced! It has been upgraded to a B-rank system! Sign-ins can now grant the host even more powerful rewards.] [Ding... The sign-in system has advanced! It has been upgraded to an A-rank system! Sign-ins can now grant the host even more powerful rewards.] [Ding... The sign-in system has advanced! It has been upgraded to an S-rank system! Sign-ins can now grant the host even more powerful rewards.] [Ding... The sign-in system has advanced! It has been upgraded to an SS-rank system! Sign-ins can now grant the host even more powerful rewards.]
In Hyuga Kagami's mental space, countless streams of power poured into his body. His body was like a universe, tirelessly absorbing every last bit of it.
The feeling of being so completely filled with power brought a deep sense of satisfaction. Hyuga Kagami was astonished as he felt more and more power surge through his body.
The powers merged with his body.
There was no sense of incompatibility at all!
Under normal circumstances, his body shouldn't have been able to withstand the convergence of so many powerful forces. Yet, to Hyuga Kagami's amazement, he didn't feel the slightest bit bloated!
"So... this is the power of the system?"
The Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Type, Azure Dragon Form from One Piece!?
Hyuga Kagami's pupils contracted, and his breathing grew ragged. It all felt unreal.
"Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit!? The fruit that let him knock Monkey D. Luffy out cold with a single Thunder Bagua! The man known as the Strongest Creature in One Piece!"
"Dragon horns on his head, a Great Hammer in his hand, and a Thunder Bagua for anyone who rubbed him the wrong way. Now that was a man's idea of romance!"
Although he had only just obtained this power,
it was already enough to make Hyuga Kagami a powerhouse!
The system had only been D-rank before, and it had already granted him such powerful rewards.
Now that it had advanced to SS-rank, the odds of getting high-tier rewards would rise dramatically!
As he kept signing in,
he would gain more and more of Kaido's power. Eventually... he might even turn into that terrifying dragon, summon thunderclouds that blotted out the sky, and sweep away every enemy!
Boom!
That power surged into Hyuga Kagami's body. It rampaged through him with overwhelming force.
For the first time, he felt pain. He hadn't experienced anything like this when the other powers had merged with him.
"My muscles are tearing apart. My body is changing dramatically, becoming tougher and stronger. Even Kage Level powerhouses in the Naruto world have incredibly fragile bodies."
Hyuga Kagami gritted his teeth, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He endured the pain, but excitement shone in his eyes!
"Ninjas in the Naruto world are like they put all their points into the wrong stats. They're clearly powerful, but their bodies are fragile, like high-damage, low-defense assassins. But with Kaido's template, I'm a high-damage, high-defense tank!"
After a long while, Hyuga Kagami's breathing gradually settled. Scalding steam rose from his body.
His whole body was hot, and his skin had taken on a faint reddish tint.
His field of vision shifted, and the white robe on his body slowly slid down. But Hyuga Kagami clearly saw the mirror in front of him getting lower and lower.
"I've grown taller."
"And..."
He looked at himself in the mirror. His white robe had stretched open, revealing solid pectoral muscles and a glimpse of his heavily muscled shoulder.
"My body's unbelievably strong."
"Is this the power of the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Type, Azure Dragon Form? My strength has swelled to a terrifying degree, and my durability is just as monstrous. A Kunai can barely scratch my skin!"
Hyuga Kagami plunged the Kunai into himself.
But not a drop of blood came out.
His skin was as tough as iron and stone!
"And the Sage Body and Wood Release I got from signing in, along with the Absolute Control talent, make me... even stronger. And I've only just gotten these powers!"
"As I master these abilities, I'll grow stronger and stronger. This... is the power of the system!"
Every one of these abilities would be enough to make the strongest people in the world green with envy. Just look at the Sage Body—Orochimaru had spent his entire life researching it!
His handsome, composed face was resolute. His eyes gleamed with a dragon's wildness and domineering aura!
His back was straight, like a dragon's spine.
As if nothing in the world could make him bend!
