Chapter 13 — Immortality and the Next Generation
Two years after marrying Himeko, Kurafuto Uzumaki, age 26, noticed something unusual. As he trained and observed his Zoids, a realization struck him: he had stopped aging.
> "My body… it hasn't changed since my return from Konoha," Kurafuto murmured, examining his reflection in the palace courtyard pond. "It's been two years, yet I feel exactly the same as the day I returned… or perhaps even younger."
Drago, sensing the shift in his master's chakra, leaned close, claws clicking softly against the stone.
> "Curious… my growth mirrors yours, but your body… it seems bound to time differently," Kurafuto whispered. "This must be another gift from the transmigration… or from the Zoids themselves."
Himeko approached, holding their child, now a toddler with bright, alert eyes.
> "Father?" the boy said, reaching out with small hands.
Kurafuto smiled, realizing that while he remained frozen in youth, his son would grow normally — inheriting his own potential and, unknowingly, the seeds of Zoid mastery.

The Son's First Zoid
Kurafuto observed as his child instinctively reached out toward a miniature Drago in its 2-inch resting form. The child's chakra resonated strongly, and the miniature Zoid reacted immediately to his presence.
> "He… he's bonding," Kurafuto realized. "He doesn't even know yet, and yet he's connecting with the Zoid's essence."
With a touch of guidance, the toddler's small hands drew energy into a crude shape — not fully formed, but a recognizable mechanical-living hybrid.
> "He's… creating?" Himeko gasped, equally amazed and proud.
The first Zoid of Kurafuto's son emerged:
Name: Mini-Drake
Species: Tiny winged dragon hybrid
Power Level: Basic, but with innate growth potential
Abilities: Partial elemental resonance (fire and wind), capable of size-shifting from 2 inches to 6 meters
Kurafuto's eyes gleamed as he observed the tiny creature, realizing that his child had an innate Zoid Creation ability, likely inherited from him and enhanced by latent chakra potential.
> "So it begins… the next generation of creators," Kurafuto whispered. "He will grow, just as I did, and perhaps surpass me."

Wave's Growth and the Trainers
Meanwhile, Wave flourished under Kurafuto's guidance:
Hundreds of Trainers now fully mastered man-beast forms and several had achieved ultimate man-beast forms, armored and near-perfect in synchronization with their Zoids.
Offspring Zoids from Kurafuto's creations had begun showing advanced intelligence and combat coordination.
The Gemstone system had allowed every citizen to potentially bond with a Zoid, creating a vast, loyal network across Wave.
Drago, Hydranoid, and Subtera hovered protectively around the child and the newly created Mini-Drake, signaling their recognition of the next generation of leadership.

Kurafuto's Realization
As the sun set over Wave, Kurafuto reflected on his newfound immortality and the implications:
He would remain at peak strength indefinitely, ensuring Wave's stability for centuries.
His son's ability to create Zoids meant the family legacy was secure, and Wave would continue to grow in power and influence.
The balance of the world was shifting — nations would soon notice the rise of Wave, led by immortal leadership and increasingly powerful Trainers.
> "I have stopped aging… and yet life moves forward," Kurafuto murmured, watching Mini-Drake flap its tiny wings. "Our legacy is just beginning… and the world will see the true potential of creation."
