A fierce wind swept past the towering spires.
Kameda stood at the very top of a hundred-meter steel scaffold, looking down at the world below.
Steel frameworks interwoven with pristine white stone. Broad, perfectly flat main avenues radiating outward in concentric rings. Sewage and water supply networks buried deep underground, strictly separated by functional zones.
In less than a month, a modernized metropolis born from Alex's verbal descriptions had locked its final puzzle piece into place over the ruins of Amegakure.
Kameda wiped the sweat from his forehead and broke into a massive grin.
This magnificent miracle was truly enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
Within the central core's hub hall.
Hinata was leaning over her desk, approving a material allocation form, when the tip of her pen suddenly stopped.
A vast, incredibly familiar pressure quietly descended upon the city.
It carried absolutely no killing intent, yet it made the Six Paths chakra within her body instinctively tremble in submission.
She abruptly stood up, knocking her wooden chair to the floor.
At that exact same moment, Shion, Ino, Mabui, and the others all simultaneously halted their work.
Without prior coordination, the women dashed out of the buildings, speeding straight toward the central statue plaza.
Beneath the colossal monument, Alex and Konan materialized out of thin air.
"Lord Alex! Lady Konan!" The women landed and bowed in perfect unison.
The moment her eyes met Alex's, the tips of Hinata's ears flushed bright red.
Shion bit down hard on her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
The memories of that wild, frenzied night before his departure flooded their minds like a tidal wave.
The breathless entanglement, the violent infusion of origin chakra, the absolute, melting euphoria—
Just a split second of recollection was enough to make their hearts pound like war drums, their legs grow slightly weak, and a thick, sensual yearning melt into their gazes.
Konan ignored the surrounding stares. She tilted her head back and looked up.
A hundred-meter-tall statue of pure white marble stood proudly before her. Its features were cold and pristine, its six wings unfurled—sacred and entirely inviolable. It was an exact replica of herself.
"Alex, is this what you meant... by making me the Angel God?" Konan turned her head, shock visible in her eyes.
Alex nodded, standing with his hands behind his back. "Indeed. From now on, you are the absolute faith of these lands. As for me, I'll temporarily take the title of Emperor. Whether it's called the Holy Empire or an Absolute Monarchy, it makes no difference."
In the face of absolute martial power, a political system was nothing more than a superficial label.
As long as the two of them stood here, they were the sole law of the world. There was no need to overcomplicate things.
Kameda arrived, panting heavily, and fell to his knees with a loud thud. "Lord Alex! Eighty percent of the facilities are fully operational. Please allow me and the Ladies to give you a tour!"
Alex waved his hand.
The group began to move.
Walking at the very front, Kameda pointed at the broad avenue beneath their feet, reporting with fanatical zeal: "Lord Alex, the main roads were repeatedly compacted by three thousand Earth Style ninjas using the Super Light-Weight Rock Jutsu and Hardening Jutsu. Finally, the surface was glazed using Fire Style. It is completely indestructible and as smooth as a mirror."
"Beneath the roads lies the underground sewage and running water network, inscribed with the Four Symbols Purification Formation by Lady Honoka herself. The Water Style squads divert water daily. The water supply for the city's million residents is not only crystal clear, but it automatically purifies and recycles itself. Not a single drop of filth will ever leak out."
Following his lead, Hinata pointed toward a ring of towering spires surrounding the Central District. Her tone was gentle, yet filled with pride. "Lord Alex, those are the Sensory Monitoring Towers built by the Hyuga Clan in cooperation with the Yamanaka Clan. The structures are inlaid with premium chakra-conductive metal, connecting to a massive underground sensory water sphere network. By combining the Hyuga elites' Byakugan with Ino's long-range mental network, any chakra fluctuation in the Holy City—even the flight path of a single bird—is under the absolute control of the core hall."
"And the civilian and commercial districts!" Shion eagerly stepped forward to claim credit, pointing at the neatly arranged, magnificent building complexes in the outer ring. "All high-rise residential buildings were seamlessly molded using Earth Style; they are completely earthquake and fireproof. Samui and the Lightning Style squads have constructed a giant energy-storing Lightning Pool in the north of the city. Transmitted through underground arrays, every household can now turn on 'Lightning Glow Lamps' at night without needing an open flame. The temperature of the entire Holy City is regulated by a geothermal hub and Wind Style arrays. No matter how freezing or scorching the outside world is, it will always be spring within the city."
Finally, Ryuzetsu pointed at the faint, transparent barrier shimmering above the city and added, "The outer perimeter is protected by the Sealing Barrier we constructed. By fusing the Priestess's spiritual power with Uzumaki sealing jutsu, it can easily withstand continuous bombardment on the level of Tailed Beast Bombs, while automatically filtering out toxic miasma and impurities from the outside air."
Transportation, water management, surveillance, energy, defense...
Miraculous facilities that the old ninja villages wouldn't have even dared to dream of were now perfectly integrated into the Holy City of this new era.
This wasn't just a city; it was a super-massive, god-forged machine driven entirely by chakra and jutsu.
Walking through the streets, the broad, luminous, modern layout vastly outclassed the cramped, gloomy ninja villages of the old era.
Alex's gaze swept over the pristine streets and the magnificent shrines, and he gave a slight nod.
"Well done."
Hearing those two words of approval, Kameda's shoulders violently shook as tears of intense emotion streamed down his old face.
Hinata and the other women's eyes sparkled. The accumulated exhaustion of the past weeks was instantly swept away, replaced entirely by ultimate satisfaction and pride.
All of their relentless effort had been solely to earn this single word of validation from him.
