Before Ai, the word item, glowing with a faint blue luster, slowly rotated, its edges flowing with fragmented lightning.
All of Mabui's work-related traits seemed to condense within it.
"Worship, celebrate, I will make you truly omniscient and omnipotent!"
The word item treasure mirror suddenly expanded into a giant holographic screen, and as light cast down, the word item information gradually lit up.
[Word Item Name: Raikage's Secretary]
[Quality: Blue Rare]
[Effect 1: Political Affairs Mastery — Automatically handles 80% of routine paperwork, increases decision-making efficiency by 30%]
[Effect 2: Information Hub — Can temporarily connect to all Hidden Cloud Village intelligence network nodes, lasts 10 minutes (Cooldown: 24 hours)]
[Effect 3: Leader's Aura — Increases sense of authority by 50% in front of subordinates]
"My thunder god!"
Ai couldn't help but retreat a few steps, his expression one of shock.
He had already tried to overestimate the functions of the word item treasure mirror, but he never expected it to be so abnormal.
Could something like this really be achieved by future technology?
This was simply unscientific!
In simple terms, the functions of this blue word item were bold slacking, intelligence integration, and intimidating subordinates.
And this was just blue rare; if it were a higher-colored word item...
As if sensing Ai's thoughts, the word item treasure mirror flickered a few times proudly, feeling very pleased.
"Mortal, this god is not a delicate system; I have strength and means!"
"Word items are divided into six grades: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.
Each grade also has ordinary, rare, and top-tier distinctions.
As for this world, red word items do not exist.
The highest, the Ōtsutsuki clan, are gold rare."
"To obtain a word item, you must have in-depth communication with its owner to gain the corresponding extended abilities.
Of course, each person can only obtain it once."
"Mirror, are you serious?
Awesome, awesome!"
Ai praised sincerely for a few sentences, "Then how do I absorb this ability?"
word item treasure mirror: "Shout three times, 'The readers of this book are the most handsome readers I have ever seen,' and you can successfully absorb it."
Ai: "?"
After absorbing it, Ai immediately felt a warm current surge through his consciousness into his body.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the office desk in reality.
Whoosh —
Under his gaze, the mountain of documents piled on the desk began to float automatically.
The ink traces reorganized and faded like living things, then each returned to its place, completing classification and archiving in the blink of an eye.
The work that originally required Mabui's assistance was now processed instantly.
"Holy crap, this is awesome!"
Ai's face lit up with joy, and he tried to retrieve Hidden Cloud Village intelligence.
A few seconds later, a dynamic map gradually appeared in his mind, with real-time conditions of various outposts flickering as light dots—this was the "Information Hub."
"Hiss..."
Ai secretly clicked his tongue and slowly walked out of the office.
Under the effect of "Leader's Aura," the Ninja passing by in the corridor bowed their heads involuntarily upon seeing him, feeling that the Raikage was exceptionally serious today.
"Good, good, someone!"
Returning to the room, Ai pressed the mechanism next to the desk, and soon three Anbu Ninja appeared before him, kneeling on one knee.
"Notify Darui, C, and Samui to gather at the training ground in half an hour."
Boom —
The sand in the training ground trembled with the roar of the Lightning Release Armor.
Ai's arms were wrapped in blue-black lightning, and he continuously threw punches, quickly pulverizing a giant rock in the center.
He turned to look at the several masters who had arrived.
Darui's Storm Release Chakra flickered at his fingertips, C had quietly deployed a genjutsu barrier, and Samui habitually tidied her weapon scrolls, her ample chest making Ai glance a few more times.
"Konoha is about to undergo changes, and Hidden Sand is also stirring."
Ai's voice carried the oppressive force of a thunderstorm.
"From today, Hidden Cloud will enter a state of war preparedness."
"Darui, you lead the Second Unit to strengthen border patrols.
C, have your sensory unit monitor all abnormal Chakra fluctuations.
As for Samui, re-arrange the Village's defensive formations."
Darui was about to ask for details but was stopped by Ai's raised hand: "No need to ask too much.
In three days, I will personally lead the drills.
Also, find Killer Bee for me."
...When Killer Bee swaggered into the office with his hip-hop walk, Ai was using his newly acquired "Political Affairs Mastery" ability to handle urgent documents.
He said without looking up, "Bee, from now on, besides training, you will participate in the Village's decision-making meetings."
"Nani? The sun rises from the west!
The serious Raikage wants the rap genius to participate in politics!
Baka yarou, kuso yarou!"
Killer Bee dramatically spread his arms, his sunglasses slipping to reveal a cunning glint in his eyes.
"In my opinion, the strong big brother is about to make a move, oh yeah!"
Ai finally put down his pen, and the documents behind him automatically stacked into neat blocks: "That's right, Konoha and Hidden Sand are likely to clash soon..."
He stood up, his gaze burning, "And we, we must make a huge profit from this chaos!"
As night fell, Ai stood alone on the highest watchtower of Hidden Cloud Village.
(What a pose!)
The power brought by the word item extended his sensory range to the entire Village, even allowing him to vaguely catch the heartbeats of the patrolling Ninja.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps came from afar.
Mabui ran over, panting, her cheeks flushed: "Raikage-sama! Urgent intelligence from the border, the movements of Konoha and Hidden Sand have been investigated!"
Ai looked down, his gaze falling on the holographic screen on Mabui's chest.
[Mabui, Affiliation: Hidden Cloud Village, Jonin, Raikage's Secretary]
[Measurements: 86 / 58 / 88, Personality: Calm and composed, cautious in handling affairs, strong sense of responsibility]
[Traits: White hair, dark skin, secretary, serious face *****, inside the office **** , sensitive areas ********]
[Emotions: After being forcibly possessed by her always respected and revered superior, she feels bewildered and shy, unsure how to face him]
Ai's mouth twitched as he looked at the large number of improper words in the "Traits" column.
"I didn't expect you to be such a treasure mirror!"
"Alright, no need to rush, calm down.
If I'm not mistaken, they are preparing for the Chunin Exams, right?"
Mabui took a few breaths, her face showing surprise: "Yes!
Konoha's recent actions are precisely for holding a joint Chunin Exams.
The Fourth Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village left the Land of Wind border yesterday and headed directly to the Land of Fire."
"Besides that, Konoha also invited Hidden Rain Village, Hidden Grass Village, and Hidden Waterfall Village to participate."
Ai nodded, turned to look at the brightly lit Village, and already had a complete plan in mind.
"Hmm, notify everyone to gather in the council hall tomorrow morning at the Hour of the Tiger."
[He has changed so much...]
Mabui looked at Ai's tall back, subconsciously touching her burning cheek, and recalling everything that had happened in the past few days, her heart rate involuntarily quickened.
"Then, then I'll take my leave."
