These ten super draws were truly a huge surprise for Satoru. Things he couldn't pull one after another before came to him almost immediately this time.
However, Satoru didn't rush to master all the abilities at once. First, he got a good night's sleep. There were too many surprises, and Satoru decided to master them gradually, step by step.
Waking naturally the next day, Satoru didn't train at home but headed straight to Konoha's main street. He wasn't drawn so much by the village landscapes as by his own "Konoha Barn," which was operating in normal mode.
"Master! You've come!" The barn was run by ordinary residents hired by Satoru. After all, it catered to the general public and operated like a regular business. However, for security, Satoru had assigned ninja who stood guard around the clock, rotating shifts.
In no time at all, Satoru spent all his one hundred thousand silver Ryo. The money went entirely into business development.
And the barn's business would definitely prosper more and more in the future.
After giving necessary instructions to his subordinates, Satoru returned to his room and began studying the remaining rewards.
Since Satoru had turned nine this year, his body had grown compared to before, and his chakra capacity had undoubtedly increased significantly.
However, Satoru's total chakra reserve in normal state was still at the level between Kage and Super-Kage. Though the purity of his chakra far exceeded that of an ordinary Super-Kage, every time he used it, he still felt a shortage.
During the battle with the Eight-Tails, Satoru had felt this especially acutely. After fighting the bijuu, he had no strength left to battle the Third Raikage.
For Satoru, this was undoubtedly a huge problem.
"System, doubling the total chakra reserve? But what if my body still can't contain that much chakra? What then? Won't I burst apart?" Satoru asked.
"Hmph, of course not," the System then explained. "The System, in providing chakra doubling, naturally accounts for the possibility that you can't contain it. Therefore, it will automatically and freely expand your body's chakra capacity. Thus, your chakra will naturally double."
"Your total chakra reserve will increase in an instant once you're ready," the System said.
Satoru had so many rewards, and there was no point in hoarding them. So he immediately told the System, "Of course, then just double my chakra!"
"OK! Exchange confirmed! It will hurt a lot in the next moment. After all, your body is only nine years old. Excess chakra will be transferred to your Yin Seal," the System reminded.
"Alright, I understand," Satoru nodded, ready to receive the chakra reward.
In the next second, Satoru let out a agonized scream.
The reason was that Satoru felt as if every cell in his body was about to explode from pain.
"Waaa! System, you said it would be just an instant!" Satoru asked with mixed feelings. "Why does it hurt so much?!"
But the System made no sound, as if saying: "I'm busy, don't talk to me."
Satoru had no choice. Since he'd boarded this boat, he couldn't get off.
His entire body ached. He felt only pain, and more pain. This torment was hard to describe in words. The pain lasted so long that Satoru felt his body starting to go numb.
Then a powerful surge of chakra suddenly rushed upward. Satoru naturally allowed this chakra to enter his body.
This visible-to-the-eye chakra desperately tried to force its way into Satoru's body from the start. When it could no longer squeeze in, it found an outlet on his forehead.
"Yin Seal! Hurry, into the Yin Seal! I can't take this anymore!" Satoru wasn't torn apart, but his initial chakra reserve was already at Kage peak. Now it instantly surpassed Kage peak and reached Super-Kage peak, just one step from breaking beyond Super-Kage.
However, Satoru's age was still too young. If he were ten years older, doubling the chakra would have been very easy for him.
Unclear how much time passed, but Satoru found that the chakra in his Yin Seal was completely full.
Satoru's entire body felt nothing at that moment. Whatever he wanted to do, he couldn't. So Satoru fell into a stupor and fell asleep.
Unclear how long he slept. When Satoru opened his eyes, he found his sensory abilities had grown even stronger.
And now, using any technique, Satoru barely felt his chakra depleting. Clearly, his chakra had become a boundless ocean.
Satoru's body still felt a bit numb, but his power already far exceeded his previous strength. Now, even if he had to face the Eight-Tails again and then the Raikage, Satoru would definitely have the courage and confidence for it.
Then Satoru focused all his attention on training King's Haki. Though he'd been lucky to pull King's Haki, he only got the awakening method.
After all, King's Haki couldn't be awakened through training. And the System had given Satoru some advanced King's Haki usage methods. So until Satoru awakened King's Haki himself, he couldn't master this type of Haki.
This disappointed Satoru a bit.
"I thought that now, facing an army of ninja, with one King's Haki I could wipe out more than half... Well, that would be too uninteresting anyway," Satoru's thoughts didn't linger, and he shifted attention to the next reward.
"Gura Gura no Mi!" Satoru looked at his hand. Unlike other rewards, since the System was called "Devil Fruit System," gaining Devil Fruit abilities was the fastest and most convenient way to strengthen.
Satoru couldn't experiment in the room, so he headed to one of his favorite training spots.
*SHUUUUH!*
A waterfall cascaded down before him with unrestrained force. Satoru looked at it, concentrated shock power in one hand, then punched.
In the next second, in the direction Satoru punched, space seemed to crack.
"This thing... does it break space?!"
Then a truly shocking scene occurred. Terrifying force instantly crashed into the waterfall.
No need to mention the waterfall itself—the nearby rocks and countless trees were instantly shattered to splinters.
Satoru had just caused air and earth tremors. The astonishing destructive power of the Gura Gura no Mi made Satoru reevaluate his own might!
"No wonder it's the strongest Paramecia-type fruit in One Piece, with the strongest destructive power! I'll definitely spend time mastering it properly," Satoru hadn't fully mastered the true power of the Gura Gura no Mi yet.
But even so, it was damn strong!
