Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

After Xia Zuo finished laughing, he reached out and ruffled Quan's hair.

Then he said, "My lovely, silly little sister, you're from the Uchiha clan. Does one Jonin make a difference compared to two?"

"It would be safest to promote 10 Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan at once under Shisui's protection."

"Until then, I will not allow you to be promoted to Jonin, understand?"

Uchiha Izumi mumbled, "Okay~, brother~."

"Even though I'm young, I'm already the head of the Uchiha clan. Could you please stop patting my head?"

"The president isn't tall!"

Uchiha Shisui, Miko, Heishiro, and Natsume all burst into laughter.

After laughing, Xia Zuo sighed, "The Uchiha clan used to work too hard and do too well, making people think that the work of the Security Department was very simple."

"It's only been six months. The Konoha ninjas don't yet understand how complicated the work of the Security Department is."

"Just wait, wait for the resentment in Konoha to erupt three or five times, until even the Third Hokage can't stand it anymore, and then slowly make demands of the Hokage."

"In short, don't rush. We are still young, and time is on our side."

16-year-old Uchiha Shisui, 14-year-old Xia Zuo, and 13-year-old Uchiha Izumi—they only need to wait for the Third Hokage, who will soon turn 65, to grow old.

As for what he said to the Hokage before, "Your time is running out," well, the interpretation of that is up to Xia Zuo.

One year isn't much, and three years isn't much either.

After the banquet, Xia Zuo saw everyone off and sat alone in the courtyard, enjoying the cool autumn breeze, taking stock of the bloodline limits he had successfully fused over the past three months.

Before Magnet Release, he successfully fused Lava Release and Boil Release, both of which were bloodline limits successfully fused after completing the qualitative change training of Fire Release.

To be honest, Lava Release is quite destructive, but Boil Release is really not good enough. The speed increase is less than one-tenth of Swift Release, and the power increase is not as good as the body shared by the pirate Xia Zuo.

In short, it's useless.

However, Xia Zuo has discovered that as more and more bloodline limits are successfully fused, his body is undergoing changes.

First, his chakra reserves increased rapidly, and second, his potential continued to grow.

He had a premonition that once he possessed ten basic bloodline limits, he would experience a leap forward in his life.

So he enthusiastically set about fusing Ice Release and Scorch Release, hoping to complete the leap in his life level as soon as possible.

At the same time, it can bring more surprises to all the Xia Zuo at the next dream gathering.

A month later, Xia Zuo successfully fused with Ice Release.

A few days later, he finally returned to the dream world in his sleep.

While feeling incredibly relieved, Hokage Natsuzo couldn't help but sigh deeply, "The time intervals are getting longer and longer, I really don't know why."

The Demon King Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "My situation is exactly the opposite of yours; this time, the interval is only 24 years."

"The pace of the cultivation world is very slow. Sometimes a single meditation session can take several years. If the return cycle is kept shortened, I will miss many gatherings."

Although everyone is Xia Zuo, their feelings are still different.

As the interstellar Xia Zuo's return cycle remained stable, his emotions were also exceptionally stable. Therefore, the first thing he noticed was that there was another new Xia Zuo.

He called out loudly, "Attention everyone, we have new recruits!"

"Everyone, place your hands on the long bronze table. Newcomer, yes, you, place your hands here and share our memories and strength."

This time, the shared power primarily originates from two sources: Hokage Natsume and Misaka Natsume.

There are two sources of shared memories: Misaka Natsuzo and Marvel Natsuzo. Compared to the insignificant battles, the various erotic scenes are what make the Natsuzos more satisfied, envious, and jealous.

"Damn it, I didn't know Shirai Kuroko was so delicate and tender. I only remembered her as a little pervert before, and I never noticed her beauty at all."

"Damn it, Marvel's Shazo, your hunting range is really wide, female mob bosses, female mounted police, red-haired mysterious superwoman, it's really disgusting."

Misaka Natsuko retorted expressionlessly: "Misaka explained to everyone very seriously: I slept with Shirai Kuroko in my arms not for myself, but for everyone to research spatial superpowers."

Marvel's Shazam also retorted, "I was in 2007, and back then, the world was very, very open. This was normal social interaction, not something wrong with me."

Not a single Shazo believed their explanation.

We are all Xia Zuo, just with our personalities distorted by our environment. We are not like you two who are immersed in desire!

There are indeed some people in Xia Zuozhong who don't care much about beautiful women.

For example, the pirate Shazam was completely focused on sensing his newfound power and didn't notice Shirai Kuroko or the long-legged female mounted police officer at all.

Pirate Xia Zuo exclaimed with satisfaction, "Hokage Xia Zuo, you're truly a golden goose! This time you've added Ice Release, Boil Release, Lava Release, and Magnet Release. It's such a pleasant surprise!"

"With your support, I am confident that I will be able to pass the selection process and enter headquarters for training."

"Everyone, wait for me! I will definitely learn the Six Powers of the Navy, master Haki, and enhance everyone's strength!!"

But the most excited person was the newcomer Xia Zuo. The young man, dressed in ancient costume, cried tears of joy: "Great! I've finally activated my cheat ability! I can go and pursue extraordinary encounters!"

……

The young Xia Zuo traveled to Huayin County, SX Province, during the Ming Dynasty.

His home was located at the foot of the precipitous Mount Hua, in a small landowning family that owned 300 acres of land.

A small landowner with 300 mu of land...

That's right. In this era, landlords were not classified by land area, but by the output of their land.

Of the Xia family's 300 mu of land, only 60 mu are medium-sized fields, which can yield 200 jin of millet. The rest are low-lying fields, which only produce 130 jin of millet per season.

Therefore, the Xia family could only collect 20% of the rent from the tenants, because the tenants also needed to eat, and no matter how ruthless they were, they couldn't let the tenants starve to death.

Moreover, Shaanxi is not a peaceful place. Migrants, swordsmen, and bandits often come and go, and farmers are always at risk.

Originally, the foot of Mount Hua was quite safe because there was a Huashan Sect on Mount Hua, whose heroes were famous far and wide and had superb martial arts skills, protecting the peace of the area within 300 li around Mount Hua.

But after an upheaval 30 years ago, the Huashan Sect was gone, and everyone's peaceful days were over.

In order to survive, the Xia family, a small landlord family, had no choice but to hire three swordsmen to guard their home.

However, this far exceeded the Xia family's financial resources, and they could only maintain the family by selling land, which was not a long-term solution.

After careful consideration, Xia Zuo's father used half of the family fortune to send Xia Zuo to the reopened Huashan Sect in exchange for the safety of his family.

Xia Zuo thus entered the small Huashan Sect, ranking after the sixth disciple Lu Dayou, and replacing Tao Jun to take the seat of the seventh disciple.
