In the blink of an eye, five and a half years had passed.
「[Luka Namikaze]
• Species: Devil Slime
• Title: [Devil King]
• [Level: 47] – [2,333,915/21,000,000]
• Template: [Acnologia – 28.1788625%]
• Points: 13,197,487」
'I can't believe I managed to accumulate so many points during these last five years...'
Now that he was about to graduate from the ninja academy, with only a few days left until graduation, he felt that it was time to start taking things seriously.
'This Acnologia is a true monster!'
It became even more apparent after five years.
With 'only' 28% 'assimilated', the amount of benefits he gained was no joke.
Thanks to that, he became able to use: [Healing Magic], [Giga Flare], and [Dragon Form].
'Okay, let's begin!'
[-3,000,000 Points!]
[The 30 sets of [Devil's Pieces] have been deposited into your [Stomach (Storage Space)]]
Creating a barrier around the river, Luka began.
<<[Demonic Power (Gold) increased to Lv.22!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Gold) increased to Lv.23!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Gold) increased...!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Gold) increased to Lv.39!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Gold) Lv.39 – 100%, evolved into Demonic Power (Platinum) Lv.1 – 00%!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased to Lv.2!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased to Lv.3!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased to Lv.4!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased...!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased to Lv.48 – 20%!]>>>
– Booom!
Like an erupting volcano, Luka felt a gigantic demonic power within his body.
'It surpassed my amount of Chakra and Natural Energy...'
Luka opened his eyes.
Clenching his hands, he activated Tenshōgan Chakra Mode, mixed with demonic power.
Red markings appeared across his body, while a powerful aura, even somewhat sinister, surrounded him.
Deactivating it, he thought: 'How strong am I currently?'
Honestly, although he didn't want to be overconfident, he felt that he could go head-to-head with someone at Kage level.
'I was going to stop here, but I'm so close to reaching Emerald Rank with Demonic Power that it would be a shame to stop now.'
[-1,000,000 Points!]
[The 10 sets of [Devil's Pieces] have been deposited into your [Stomach (Storage Space)]]
Without hesitation, he used [Predation].
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) increased to Lv.49!]>>>
<<[Demonic Power (Platinum) Lv.49 – 100%, evolved into Demonic Power (Emerald) Lv.1 – 96%!]>>>
<<[Predation (Platinum) increased to Lv.46 – 2%!]>>>
'Phew... I thought I wouldn't reach Emerald Rank...'
[Predation] leveling up was also a pleasant surprise.
'Now... I need to control this aura quickly, otherwise, I'll end up completely changing the geography of this place...'
Luka closed his eyes.
Little by little, the demonic aura surrounding him began to be restrained.
A crater formed beneath his feet.
The intensity of his demonic power was so high that it burned the ground.
Finishing retracting the aura, Luka opened his eyes.
'Emerald Rank... As expected from a rank that surpasses even the classification of Great Sage and Predation.'
Of course, that doesn't make him invincible. Luka knew that very well, especially when thinking that beyond this rank, there is also Rank Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster.
Honestly, he had no idea what rank a Bijuu, for example, would be classified as.
Perhaps its gigantic mass of chakra reaches Rank Diamond or even Rank Master.
As for Grandmaster... Well, it should be something at the level of the Ten Tails?
Honestly, there were still many things he didn't know or understand.
Even if he asked Great Sage to analyze, there was no way to have even a vague idea without information to compare it to.
'In the end, I've been living trapped inside a 'bubble' until now. Only when I leave this 'bubble' will I be able to have a vague idea of my real power and so on.'
That being said, it is undeniable that, although he still cannot be considered the strongest, he must be the most incredible at concealment.
Whether invisibility, or even mimicry.
At this moment, he finally received information from five of his shadow clones.
All the clones had transformed into ants and were implanted in Danzo.
Now, he obtained images of Danzo's secret laboratories.
'As expected, he has the cells and some Sharingans stored away.'
Not only that.
There were also children inside huge transparent tubes as part of experiments.
He also saw a secret area that Danzo uses to train children, even saw him force one to kill another, and the winner would be used by him as a tool.
Honestly, he was rotten to the core.
'Let's start with this one.'
Danzo's laboratories were close to the village.
Until now, none inside the village.
Whether he had any inside the village before or not, it was uncertain to him.
Transforming into a Slime, Luka became invisible.
[Spatial Motion]!
Using the images from the clone's memories, he teleported to a laboratory.
The place was surrounded by seals and had a barrier around it, but not even that stopped him from entering.
Inside, Luka in Slime form bounced around and saw three men in white lab coats opening the body of a little boy who was still alive.
Without needing seals, Luka created a thousand clones.
"Ahhh!"
"What was that?"
"Slime!?"
The thousand clones occupied the entire space of the laboratory.
They had only one command: Swallow everything!
Those who were still alive, he would keep in the stomach and release later, and the rest would be devoured, especially the three men in white lab coats.
Trapped inside the slimes' stomachs, the 'doctors' tried to escape, but were paralyzed.
Each clone was capable of using Chimera Predator Poison. And paralysis was one of the simplest poisons.
'That must be Hashirama's cells.' He thought, going with the main body to collect them.
An alarm was triggered, but he didn't care. With his gelatinous body, Luka engulfed everything.
In moments, all the clones fused with the main body, growing in size to transform into a gigantic golden slime.
