Light Release

The first template had given him a baldy, and the second had given him a sleazy old man?

Even his one and only summoned beast had tossed him a "Taotie's Devouring" before throwing in the towel and running off, leaving him without a mount to this day.

"Can I return it? You could at least give me Super Saiyan Blue Goku!"

Liumu grinned as he began bargaining with the system.

"Ding. Once this system's templates have been drawn, no returns are accepted."

Liumu's expression froze at that, then he bared his teeth and cursed, "You bastard! Not a shred of human feeling!"

"Ding. This system reminds you that only one template can be used at a time. Replaced templates will automatically be stored in the template space. Please pay attention to the usage rules."

"To use it or not?"

Liumu stared at the Kizaru template in his hand, his mind racing.

Saitama's template had already maxed out every attribute. Whether in attack power or speed, it was the absolute ceiling.

Though Kizaru's abilities were no simple matter either, they seemed like child's play compared to Saitama's.

"I'll use it! Fuck it, I'll use it. I can switch templates anyway, so I'll just treat it as a Kizaru trial card!"

At that thought, the Kizaru card in Liumu's hand began to dissolve, turning into waves of brilliant light that flowed into his mind.

"Ding. Kizaru template successfully applied. Building host attributes."

"Ding. Host attribute list complete."

Without the enhancement of the Saitama Template, Liumu suddenly felt as though an enormous source of energy had vanished from his body. Although using Kizaru's card filled that emptiness, it still fell far short of the Saitama Template.

"Why is Kizaru's defense a range?" Liumu stared at the changing figures in his mind, his face full of bewilderment.

He could understand Kizaru having lower attack and stamina than Saitama.

But why did defense and speed seem practically unchanged?

"Wait!"

At that thought, Liumu suddenly realized something.

Kizaru used the Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit. His defense being a range might be because Logia users were immune to physical attacks, while the Glint-Glint Fruit's speed approached sublight or even light speed, which was why he was so fast.

Drawing on his knowledge of One Piece, Liumu came up with a simple explanation for his attributes.

But as his gaze gradually moved down...

"How did my talent change too? It went from 59 at the start to 90." Liumu was puzzled. Could using templates change the host's talent as well?

Possibly, since that was the only explanation.

"If that's the case, I can use the Saitama Template when beating people up and the Kizaru Template when learning ninjutsu. Wouldn't that basically mean I've exploited a system bug?"

The remaining attributes came as no surprise to Liumu. As for Kizaru's skills, having watched One Piece, he was naturally familiar with them.

Laser, a directed beam attack.

Light-Speed Kick, which took on four Supernovas with a single kick.

Yata Mirror, which reflected a path of light like a mirror to pursue targets.

Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven, a weapon formed from accumulated photons.

Heavenly Rock Cave, a giant ape-shaped beam.

And finally, Yasaka Tomoe, which fired countless light projectiles to bombard a wide area.

Liumu knew every skill like the back of his hand.

Perhaps, in this ninja world, Kizaru's abilities were more ninja-like than Saitama's.

For example, Liumu could tell others these skills were...

"As someone whose soul transmigrated here... having a kekkei genkai isn't too much to ask, right?"

As for this kekkei genkai of his...

"I'll call it... Light Release!"

"Liumu, your hair seems to be growing back."

That night, Kakashi stared at Liumu's bald head and said matter-of-factly, "Looks like you won't need to wear a wig anymore."

Being bald had always been a sore spot for Liumu. As a handsome guy, he felt that having no hairstyle was like going out without pants.

So, hearing Kakashi's words, Liumu eagerly grabbed the mirror from the table and examined the top of his head.

"Why... does it look a little naturally curly?"

A thin layer of black stubble had already grown on Liumu's head. Though it wasn't obvious, it at least counted as putting on a pair of underwear.

And the more Liumu looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"Fuck, don't tell me it's going to grow into..."

The Saitama Template had given Liumu the same bald head. Now that the Kizaru Template was active... would he end up with Kizaru's hairstyle too?

"Who's there!"

Just then, a shuriken suddenly shot through the window and embedded itself in the pillar beside Kakashi.

Seeing this, Kakashi quickly leaned out the window to check, but didn't spot a single soul.

Liumu pulled out the shuriken and took the note tied to its grip.

"Meet at Biliang Bridge outside Kumogakure at midnight."

The note was signed, "Your senior fellow disciple."

Seeing this, Liumu immediately thought that Minato must have written it.

"A mission?" Kakashi asked Liumu beside him after reading the note.

Liumu shook his head and checked the time. There were still two hours until the appointed midnight meeting.

He told Kakashi, "I'm not sure yet either. If I'm back before you head home tomorrow, then it's fine. If I'm not, go back to Konoha with the group first."

At midnight, beside Biliang Bridge.

Liumu flashed over as agreed and immediately spotted several figures standing at the end of the bridge.

Only after approaching did he discover that this team included not only himself and Minato, but also Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Konoha's chunin instructor, Yuhi Shinku.

"Liumu!"

Minato and the other two weren't using the Transformation Technique, instead showing their true appearances.

Seeing this, Liumu asked, "What's this...?"

Apart from Liumu, this team had Konoha's future Fourth Hokage, two of the legendary Sannin, and Yuhi Shinku, whose strength was at jonin level. Liumu truly couldn't imagine what could require gathering such a powerful force here.

"That little girl is fine now. After she woke up this afternoon, I told her you were the one who saved her."

Tsunade walked up to Liumu and pulled him against her side.

With them so close, the sight of the two enormous objects before him left Liumu momentarily dazed.

"S-so big... two enormous Planetary Devastations!"
