Chapter 14: Seven Times! A Full Seven Times!
In a shadowy alley between buildings, a figure huddled, tending to his wounds.
He was muttering to himself, yet no sound escaped his lips.
He looked like a madman.
He asked, "Then how on earth did you survive?"
From a distant space, a voice replied, "After unlocking the Gene Lock, my sense of hearing was greatly amplified. I had no limbs at the time, so the executioner didn't attack me. After clearing the stage, I returned to the Main God Space."
He pondered, "Could it be a direct enhancement at the spiritual level? Did it interfere with the executioner?"
The two thought for a moment, then said in unison, "Why don't we chop them off and see?"
Pirate Ren Arakawa pulled a needle-like blade of grass from his foot, gritting his teeth as he protested, "Don't, let's not do that. Even though the feeling of having no limbs didn't happen to me, the despair I felt after synchronizing the memory is still a bit much for me to handle."
Main God Ren Arakawa gave a helpless, bitter smile. "Then let's shelve this secret for now. The problem at hand is: if I redeem Chakra, will you be able to share it?"
Pirate Ren Arakawa hesitated for a moment. "Should we redeem the smallest amount first to test it?"
"No," Main God Ren Arakawa refused directly. "The Main God's AI seems to have evolved. I suspect it's been playing mobile games. If you purchase a thousand points worth of Chakra, it will give you a 100-point rebate."
"A hundred reward points may not seem like much, but clearing a single horror movie only grants a basic guarantee of 1000 points."
Main God Ren Arakawa felt the flow of Chakra within his body. "I need to enhance myself on the prerequisite that I survive."
"Understood." Pirate Ren Arakawa nodded. "You staying alive is our greatest hope right now. Given that we already have the Sharingan system, it's most appropriate for you to directly exchange for a thousand points of Chakra."
"Mmm." Having said that, Main God Ren Arakawa no longer hesitated. He furtively faced the sphere of light and said, "I want to use one thousand reward points to purchase Chakra!"
As Main God Ren Arakawa's words fell, the Main God's sphere of light responded swiftly to his request.
A gentle beam of light shot out from the sphere, enveloping him.
Bathed in this light, Main God Ren Arakawa felt a warm power flowing within him.
It was the power of Chakra!
It coursed through his meridians, gradually filling his body!
Main God Ren Arakawa felt a significant increase in his power.
Although this amount of Chakra wasn't enough to make him a top-tier ninja, in the Main God Space, it was a good start.
He thought to himself, and the Main God Space instantly manifested a training ground.
This training ground simulated a spacious indoor area. The walls and floor were constructed from sturdy materials, sufficient to withstand the high temperatures and impact of a Great Fireball Jutsu.
He took a deep breath, and his hands began to form hand seals rapidly. The Chakra in his body, under his control, gathered in his chest and then concentrated in his throat.
His mouth opened slightly. A searing flow of Chakra surged from the depths of his throat, gradually condensing into a ball of fire!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Main God Ren Arakawa shouted, thrusting the fireball forward!
The fireball cut through the air, leaving a bright trail of flames as it shot straight toward the wall of the training ground.
The fireball slammed into the wall, erupting with a deafening explosion. Flames scattered in all directions, forming a massive blast zone!
The flames devoured everything around them, turning a section of the wall into a sea of fire!
The shockwave from the explosion seemed to warp the surrounding air, and the heat from the flames could be felt even from a distance.
Main God Ren Arakawa panted heavily. He could feel that a portion of the Chakra in his body had been consumed.
But he knew he could still unleash one more Great Fireball Jutsu!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Immediately after, another Great Fireball Jutsu, with power no less than the first, was released. In the crater from the previous blast, a new one was added!
Pirate Ren Arakawa said, "Try unlocking the Gene Lock now!"
Main God Ren Arakawa nodded. He recalled the scenes of being tormented by the Breeding Squad, and the power within his body awakened.
When Main God Ren Arakawa unlocked the Gene Lock, his power multiplied.
This power was so great that even if given to an elderly grandmother in her twilight years, she could lift a car to save her grandchild trapped underneath.
Although the damage from the subsequent overexertion would kill her outright, this was the Main God Space, where one could spend reward points for limitless recovery!
Main God Ren Arakawa's body became more agile, and his reaction speed and control over Chakra both improved significantly.
In this state, he continuously formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Three times!
A full three times!
Adding the two Great Fireballs from his normal state!
With his power fully unleashed, Main God Ren Arakawa could now release five Great Fireball Jutsus!
This amount of Chakra reserves was enough to support him in becoming a Chunin of Konoha!
"Hah... hah..."
Main God Ren Arakawa plopped onto the ground, feeling the baptism of the surrounding heatwaves. He called out to the Main God, restoring the area to its original state.
Pirate Ren Arakawa said, "A maximum of five Great Fireball Jutsus... with this much Chakra, if you activate the Sharingan, it should be enough to support you in a four to five-minute battle, right?"
"Still needs testing." Main God Ren Arakawa slowly recovered his stamina. A glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Synchronize!"
The Main God's sphere of light responded, "No such command."
The Main God didn't understand, but Pirate Ren Arakawa did!
He felt the Chakra appear out of thin air in his body, a sense of elation washing over him, as if years of hardship had finally paid off!
"It's completely identical! My power is exactly the same as yours!" Pirate Ren Arakawa said in astonishment. "The Chakra in my body right now can also support five Great Fireballs just like you!"
Main God Ren Arakawa nodded. "Whew... that's good."
Pirate Ren Arakawa pulled out the last needle-like blade of grass stuck in his foot and wrapped his foot with his pant leg to ensure it wouldn't continue to bleed. His eyes were firm as he said:
"We all have to hold on. Hold on until the day I escape from prison. I'm going to find a Devil Fruit!"
"Mmm, I'll be waiting for you." Main God Ren Arakawa said, then called out to the Main God again: "I want to eat. The most authentic Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Cantonese, and Fujian cuisines. Bring them all to me."
Hearing Main God Ren Arakawa's call, Pirate Ren Arakawa swallowed hard and quickly cut the connection.
The next day dawned.
After a night's sleep, having synchronized their memories and abilities, Stephen Fang and Uchiha Ren were ecstatic.
Stephen Fang could finally use the Great Fireball Jutsu, and two of them at that!
Stephen Fang said, "OMG! I have to find a suitable place to use it once! I'm dying to release a ninjutsu!"
Pirate Ren Arakawa's voice echoed in his mind, "If you don't want to get arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D., you'd best stick to trying things like the Clone Jutsu or Substitution Jutsu."
Compared to Stephen Fang's excitement, Uchiha Ren was even more overjoyed.
Because, to his astonishment, he discovered...
The amount of Chakra he had obtained surpassed even Main God Ren Arakawa's.
It was enough to support him in releasing seven Great Fireballs!
