Within the subterranean chamber thick with Dragon Vein energy.
"Huff..."
Kei Yamanaka exhaled deeply through his mouth as he once again stood before the Dragon Vein control panel.
He hadn't even had a chance to speak with Queen Saaya and Sara of Louran when a familiar system notification rang out in his mind—finally, after such a long wait.
[Beeep~ Deviating significantly from the original world line progression, the world line has completely collapsed. Rewards Obtained: Keyword Copy Opportunity x1, Red Skill Conversion Card x1, Randomly Associated Color Keyword Draw Opportunity x1, Keyword Draw Opportunities x3, Keyword Gift Opportunities x3, Keyword Downgrade Opportunity x1, Skill Reset Opportunities x2, Keyword Detach Opportunity x1.]
[Beeep~ Due to the collapsing and reorganizing of the original world line trajectory, obtaining rewards will become significantly more difficult. Estimated Time for World Line Reorganization: 364 Days, 23 Hours, 59 Minutes.]
Was clearing out Mist Village counted too?
For a moment, Kei was stunned, but quickly regained composure.
After all, even Mist Village was now secretly under his control. The future political landscape of the ninja world lay completely in his grasp.
When to attack and when to stop—it all depended solely on him!
If the world line still hadn't completely collapsed by now, he'd have been impressed by just how resilient this world's trajectory was!
Still...
A year, huh?
Looking at the timeframe that wasn't exactly short nor particularly long, Kei remained unfazed.
Judging from how Tenten, Hinata, and Sayo had previously appeared in Louran, his future self still hadn't stopped meddling around.
Occasionally, he would deliberately alter someone else's fate to interfere with the world line's trajectory.
Considering all that...
This Naruto world really was remarkably resilient!
Hack at it hard, take a full year off, then return for another round—it bounces back like leeks!

...
Copy, detach, convert...
Glancing at the newly received system rewards, Kei felt extremely satisfied.
With his current power,
unless some outrageously lucky draw came up, ordinary keyword draw rewards simply weren't impressive enough anymore.
Instead, the replication, extraction, red-tier transformation, and linked keyword draw were all tangible things that could directly help him boost his strength and increase his combat options!
And with his current impressive stats?
To put it bluntly,
Even if a Full Form Isshiki Otsutsuki appeared out of nowhere, he'd still have to kneel and kowtow, and die right after!
Carefully considering the order of using these rewards,
Kei Yamanaka decided to first use the opportunity for a Randomly Linked Keyword Draw.
[Randomly Linked Keyword 'Infinite Armory', congratulations, Host! You've obtained Purple-Tier Trait 'Unlimited Blade Works'.]
Unlimited Blade Works (Purple): A vast bounded field created from Projection Magecraft and Reality Marble, capable of replicating and projecting any weapon seen before. These weapons are stored within the barrier for instant access; when replicating treasures, their power is reduced by one rank; Ex-ranked treasures cannot be replicated without special circumstances like assistance from the original owner; significantly enhances blade control and combat awareness.
"My Stupid King..."
Kei Yamanaka immediately realized where this trait came from as soon as he saw it drawn.
Anti-'Berserker' number one!
He was so envious it nearly tore his soul from his body!
"System, activate [Unlimited Blade Works]."
[Detected compatibility between Red-Tier Trait 'Infinite Armory', Purple-Tier Trait 'Unlimited Blade Works', and Purple-Tier Trait 'Guaranteed Severing Blade'. Fusion available. Start fusion?]
"...Fuse them."
Kei Yamanaka slightly raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, countless sword-fighting techniques flooded into his mind. The weapon storage space created by [Infinite Armory] inside him underwent rapid transformations.
Different powers from both Fairy Tail and Type-Moon worlds rapidly merged together.
The conceptual force of [Guaranteed Severing Blade] also intertwined seamlessly with everything else!
Buzz—
A darkness-dominated reality marble expanded outward from his body.
The underground chamber, previously glowing faintly purple, quickly became enveloped in an oppressive, pitch-black void.
Clang—clang—
Countless large and small gears, like unfamiliar pieces of precision machinery, formed the boundary of this realm.
Several different versions of Sword of Kusanagi, Samehada, Exploding Blade Spray, Long Sword Needle, Sword of the Thunder God, Uchiha folding war fan, kusarigama, Flying Thunder God Kunai, kunai, shuriken...
"I haven't had decent pork in ages..."
Kei Yamanaka covered his face with one hand, somewhat unable to bear looking directly.
Compared to the various powerful weapons from the Type-Moon world, each possessing unique functions—anti-city, anti-army, anti-personnel, anti-deity, even capable of 'shattering the world'...
The ninja weapons from the Naruto world really weren't that impressive!
Yata Mirror, Sword of Totsuka...
Well, maybe the Six Paths tools might qualify too.
But compared to Ea or Caladbolg, they don't even come close.
[Fusion completed. Congratulations, Host! You have acquired Golden-Tier Trait 'Limitless Weapon Domain'].
[Limitless Weapon Domain] (Golden): A conceptual domain born from the fusion of spatial and conceptual forces. It can shrink into the [Limitless Realm] or expand into the [Limitless Weapon Field], allowing any object to be stored within and retrieved from the [Limitless Realm]. The [Limitless Weapon Field] can replicate and project weapons previously witnessed, though Ex-Tier Treasure-Grade weapons will drop one level in quality. When the [Limitless Weapon Domain] expands, energy can be consumed to unleash conceptual 'decapitation' slashes. Using bladed weapons pushes weapon mastery, battle awareness, strength, and speed to their peak.
Another system prompt rang out.
Visibly, within Kei Yamanaka's [Limitless Weapon Domain], the quality of various weapons directly improved by one tier, identical to their original forms.
Previously limited by the confines of the underground stone chamber, the [Limitless Weapon Domain] now felt as though it had opened into a new dimension—vast and endless.
An indescribable conceptual force flowed within the space of the [Limitless Weapon Domain].
Fingers pressed together like a blade, triggering the keyword ability.
Chakra surged from his fingertips before vanishing into thin air, launching an unseen conceptual slash.
"The cost isn't low, but I can mostly control the direction of the strike."
A faint but satisfied smirk curved on Kei Yamanaka's lips.
Although the 'decapitation' conceptual slash, which previously required no energy at all, had now become something that consumed a certain amount of energy.
But this expenditure was completely manageable for him, and such controllable ability wasn't just slightly boosting his offensive power!
Just imagine delivering multiple slashes toward a member of the Otsutsuki Clan's neck!
Even if you counted each bone in their neck, after several strikes, they'd surely lose their heads!
Moreover, while inside the [Limitless Weapon Domain],
simply wielding any weapon vastly enhanced his strength and speed!
The enhancement this provided to his combat effectiveness and destructive power likely already surpassed another golden keyword, [Yin-Yang Sage Ascendant].
With both abilities combined, even without using his remaining Keyword Draw chances,
among the current members of the Otsutsuki Clan, there might not be a single Otsutsuki left who could defeat him!
Closing the jet-black [Limitless Weapon Domain], resembling a blade-covered hell mountain and exuding an extremely oppressive atmosphere,
Kei Yamanaka shot a reassuring glance toward Saaya and Sāra, mother and daughter, who were standing by the entrance of the underground chamber, clinging to each other in fear.
Saaya and Sāra trembled slightly and exchanged glances.
Were they worried about Kei Yamanaka?
Of course not. They were petrified—for good reason.
In that suffocating environment where even the soil seemed completely soaked in blood, they almost forgot how to breathe!
Even hell couldn't compare!
"System, let's use up the remaining three Keyword Draw chances too."
Kei Yamanaka withdrew his gaze and silently ordered the system.
[Congratulations, Host! You've obtained [Special Breed] (White-Rank Trait), [Great-Grandma's Stick] (Blue-Tier Skill), and [Heaven's Ladle] (Purple-Tier Trait).]
[Special Breed] (White): You may be uniquely special or unusually bulky; your recklessness skyrockets; slightly increases courage, bravery, and determination; modest boosts to physical strength, defense, and healing.
[Great-Grandma's Stick] (Blue): The rod grows shorter with every strike. Great-Grandma blinks once per second. When wielding polearms or similar weapons, each hit fills the enemy's mind with visions of Great-Grandma's demise, slightly lowering their will to fight; increases weapon proficiency, control, skill acquisition rate, and attack speed when using such weapons.
[Heaven's Ladle] (Purple): Praying for rain is unnecessary when you step outside—you are blessed by rain; wherever you tread, drought cannot take root. Your presence greatly increases the likelihood of rainfall, along with your Water Release talent. Improves efficiency when studying, refining, upgrading, or inventing Water Release techniques; also enhances release speed, power, and effects of all Water Release techniques. (Caution: Prolonged stays in rainy regions may trigger flooding.)
"...Six."
Kei Yamanaka held back for a moment but ultimately refrained from showing off his personal qualities in front of Saaya and Sāra.
He could only curse inwardly.
In any case, having one white, one blue, and one purple-tier skill was already an incredible stroke of luck.
But these three skills...
They made him want to yell curses and confront the system, demanding to know which part of its code had gone wrong.
A [Special Breed] that caused enemies to hallucinate Great-Grandma—the [Great-Grandma's Stick].
And the [Heaven's Ladle], which brought rain wherever you walked, a must-have for Kazekage.
Were they practical?
Sure, fine!
But could the names at least sound a bit more dignified?
Wasn't he a respectable man?!
"Whatever... whatever... Let's see which skill we can upgrade to red..."
