XX-level Hokage

But in the end, Hagoromo and Hamura discovered this and sealed it away. "Kaguya calmly recounted the story, as if nothing that happened was of any importance."

"By the way, about the birth of Hagoromo and Hamura, how were they born?" Mashiro asked curiously.

Kaguya's face suddenly turned red, and her tone became incredibly gentle as she said, "Do you remember the surprise I told you I had for you?" Mashiro nodded gently.

"Hagoromo and Hamura are actually your children," Kaguya said softly.

Upon hearing this, Mashiro's mind went blank. She remembered that she hadn't had a chance to do anything to Kaguya yet, and even if she had, she shouldn't be pregnant.

Seemingly noticing Mashiro's confusion, Kaguya continued, "The Otsutsuki clan possesses a special secret technique that allows one to obtain offspring through prayer! At that time, I collected a great deal of your aura and used it to perform this secret technique."

Through a secret method, your bloodline was analyzed into three parts and combined with mine, thus giving birth to our three children: Hagoromo, Hamura, and Zetsu.

The three of them inherited parts of your and my power, but because the power Jue inherited was too unique, it could never take shape. Therefore, I always kept it with me, and it was it that ultimately saved me.

This is why Kaguya is very tolerant of Hagoromo and Hamura. If it weren't for the fact that they both possessed a portion of Mashiro's power, Kaguya would have turned them into chakra long ago.

Hearing Kaguya's words, Mashiro felt helpless; she understood now.

The Sage of Six Paths inherited the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan and Mashiro's Sharingan. Hamura Otsutsuki inherited the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan and Mashiro's Byakugan.

As for Zetsu, he inherited the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan and the shadow power of Mashiro. However, since shadow power does not exist in the Naruto world, this is why Zetsu never takes human form.

Just as Mashiro was about to say something, a system notification sounded. [System Task Completion: Two-thirds]

Then Mashiro's consciousness appeared in a blank space.

"Congratulations, host, the mission is two-thirds complete," the system said.

"A mission? Isn't the system's mission to become the emperor of the ninja world? Based on the completion rate, it should be over 90% by now," Mashiro asked softly.

"Due to reincarnation, the timeline of this world has been divided into three parts: the past, the present, and the future."

Therefore, you must not only become the emperor of the ninja world in the present, but also in the past and future, and these must be connected to form a coherent timeline. You traveled to the past, met Kaguya, and changed the past. Because of your changes, nothing unusual has happened in the present, and a reasonable timeline has been established.

Thus, the timeline connects the past and the present. "The system explained."

"What you said back then didn't seem that complicated," Mashiro said softly upon hearing this.

I only learned about this before I fell into a deep sleep. According to the previous host, it would have been enough to change the present and the future, but because I brought your soul here to replace it...

"The world you are in, the world where Li Mo is the host, and the world that originally had no transmigrators—these three worlds have become intertwined, and therefore, the mission has been divided into three parts: the past, the present, and the future," the system continued.

Qi Bai couldn't say anything about this, and could only ask, "Then what about the future? Do I have to go to the future again?"

"Yes, host, you must travel to the future and modify it," the system said. "I understand. How do I get there?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Kill the person who smuggled himself in, and he will take you to the future..." After saying that, the system went silent as if the power had been cut off. Mashiro also came to her senses.

"What's wrong, Mashiro?" Kaguya asked blankly.

"Nothing?" Mashiro gently kissed Kaguya on the cheek. (Author's Note)

Ye Fu has more surprises in store.

Chapter 217: The Spring of the Empire

At night, after Kaguya fell asleep, Mashiro quietly went to the balcony. "Come out?" Mashiro said softly.

A pool of black liquid emerged from the ground. "My lord," Black Zetsu said.

Mashiro stretched out her hand, and a long, black shadow stretched out, completely covering Black Zetsu. After a moment, the shadow faded away. "As expected, the power of the Shadow Legion," Mashiro said with some emotion.

Black Zetsu remained silent, but it could sense a shared aura emanating from that shadow.

"I will send you to a place, and release you when you have taken human form," Mashiro said softly. "Yes," Black Zetsu replied without any objection.

It is absolutely obedient and respectful to Kaguya, and therefore, it will also respect Shinji, whom Kaguya admires.

After she finished speaking, the shadow on the ground swayed again, completely covering Black Judgment. In a moment, Black Judgment was no longer on the ground. She had sent Black Judgment to the Shadow Kingdom.

Mashiro didn't choose to kill Black Zetsu, not only because of its relationship with herself and Kaguya, but also because it was indeed very useful.

However, Mashiro wouldn't allow it to remain in Kaguya's sleeve forever, as it would not only affect her intimate contact with Kaguya but also her mood.

After seeing Black Zetsu off, Mashiro turned to look at the bright sky. According to what the system had said, she had figured out the specific reasons.

Originally, the world I lived in, the world Li Mo lived in, and the original world were three parallel worlds.

However, because Li Mo was brought to this world by the system, the world Li Mo was in became intertwined with the original world.

In order to complete its mission, the system then eliminated Li Mo and pulled its own soul into the system, thus forcing the world he inhabited into a tangle with it.

As a result, the world in which Mashiro now exists has been divided into three parts.

The past of his own world, the present of Li Mo's world, and the future of the original world.

Therefore, all the system tasks she performs are divided into three parts: past, present, and future. Thus, she must not only become the emperor of the ninja world, but also connect these three parts.

"How interesting. The future? According to the little bit of Li Mo's memory I have left, the future of the original world should be the world after Naruto and Hinata, and Sasuke and Sakura got married. How interesting. The grown-up versions of them. I really want to see them," Mashiro said softly.

In the second stage, Mashiro convened a meeting of the Allied Shinobi Forces, officially announcing the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War and the victory of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"...And so, the Fourth Shinobi World War has come to an end. Thank you all for your contributions, and thank you to the fallen shinobi for their sacrifices. It is because of you that this great war was able to come to a successful conclusion. You protected the peace of the shinobi world, you are heroes!" With Mashiro's impassioned speech and the application of mental illusion, the emotions of all the allied forces were stirred up.

"Long live the Allied Shinobi Forces! Long live Lord Mashiro!" "Long live the Allied Shinobi Forces! Long live Lord Mashiro!" "Long live the Allied Shinobi Forces! Long live Lord Mashiro!"

Meanwhile, in the stands, Kaguya saw this scene and clenched her hands, waving them blankly, "Fang Sui!"

Whether it was because she had been sealed for too long or because her brain hadn't fully recovered, Mashiro felt that Kaguya seemed a bit dull compared to before.

After the meeting, the Allied Shinobi Forces disbanded, and the other four major shinobi villages outside of Kumogakure returned to their respective villages. "How is it here? Not bad, right?" Mashiro said softly.

"Very impressive. The results of your research over just a few years have surpassed the total achievements of Konoha over a hundred years," Orochimaru said with some admiration.

Back in Miyo, Mashiro took Orochimaru to the Root's research institute and introduced him to the institute's research findings. "So, you'll stay here," Mashiro said.

Orochimaru remained silent, watching Mashiro quietly. He was waiting for Mashiro to fulfill her promise.

Orochimaru made a tremendous contribution to Mashiro during this great battle.

Whether it was dispelling the Reanimation Jutsu or resurrecting the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage through the Reanimation Jutsu, both played a crucial role in advancing Mashiro's plan.

To gain Mashiro's genuine trust, Orochimaru even handed over the command tokens controlling the three Hokage to Mashiro after they were summoned from the Netherworld. Mashiro understood Orochimaru's meaning and said with a light laugh, "I'm a little curious, why would you put all your eggs in my basket?"

"Because I realized something: I was far too weak. I had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Itachi Uchiha, so I began to covet the power of the Uchiha clan, and I did a lot for that."

But after recalling my memories of you, I realized that the power of the Uchiha clan seemed rather insignificant.

So what about me? I was easily defeated by the Uchiha. My life goal is to pursue immortality, so I need to obtain great power.

My bloodline and ninjutsu cannot provide me with this power, so I have no choice but to take a gamble. Although the gamble might result in a devastating loss, not taking it means certain death.

I cannot ignore the fact that I can only live a mediocre life.

"So I chose you, only you can give me the power I need," Orochimaru said calmly. Hearing this, Mashiro pulled out a test tube and tossed it to Orochimaru.

"This contains my blood. How much you can ultimately obtain from it depends on your abilities," Mashiro said softly.

“I understand.” Orochimaru laughed and put the test tube away. “Take me to my laboratory,” Orochimaru said.

"Follow me..." Mashiro led Orochimaru deeper into the research institute.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Tsunade asked Mashiro seriously.

"As you can see, this is a request from the Daimyo," Shinji said with a light laugh. This morning, a major piece of news spread throughout the entire ninja world.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire abdicated, transferring the power to rule the Land of Fire to the Sixth Hokage, and established Konoha as the new capital of the Land of Fire.

Tsunade, who was drinking at a tavern, received the news and rushed to the Hokage's office to question Mashiro. "A request from the Fire Country's daimyo? Do you think I'm Sakura?" Tsunade rolled her eyes.

"What, aren't you happy that I rule the Land of Fire?" Mashiro pulled Tsunade into his arms, holding her soft waist, and said.

"No, I'm just a little sad because this signifies the end of the Hokage system established by my great-grandfather." Tsunade, held tightly by Mashiro, couldn't muster any anger and could only say helplessly.

"Don't worry, the Hokage system won't disappear. Didn't I promise Naruto that I would make him the Seventh Hokage? A new position will be created, a position that belongs to me. As for the Hokage position, it will be vacant for Naruto." Mashiro said softly, her hands starting to wander.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade understood Mashiro's meaning, and her body gradually softened under Mashiro's movements.

"Come to my place tonight..." Tsunade blushed and turned to Mashiro. "Of course." Mashiro gently kissed Tsunade on the cheek.

Then Mashiro turned to Samui beside her and chuckled, "Want to come along?" "Um..." Samui hadn't said anything yet.

Mashiro's face was then angrily pinched by Tsunade, whose face had turned bright red. "Let's just forget about it," Samui said, seeing this.

"Then..." Mashiro reached out to stop Tsunade's resistance and looked at Konan. Konan silently took a few steps back.

As expected, whether it's Tsunade, Kushina, Konan, or Samui, Yugito, and Kurenai.

These mature and independent ninjas won't be as obedient as Temari, Tayuya, Haku, and Sakura. It seems they still need more time to work together.

As she pondered, Mashiro smiled and looked at Tsunade.

Looking into Mashiro's eyes, Tsunade felt inexplicably shy for some reason.

Chapter 218: The Ninja Empire

The Land of Fire, its main city.

In the reception room of the Fire Country Daimyo, the four Daimyo—the Wind Country Daimyo, the Lightning Country Daimyo, the Water Country Daimyo, and the Earth Country Daimyo—were all gathered.

"Yuan City, we need an explanation," the daimyo of the Land of Earth said. "An explanation? What kind of explanation?" the daimyo of the Land of Fire asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't play dumb, Yuanshi. Your newly issued decree granted the Sixth Hokage the power of a Daimyo. We need an explanation from you," the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said.

For the daimyo of each country, power is everything they possess, and this has remained unchanged since the establishment of the Five Great Nations. However, the sudden actions of the daimyo of the Land of Fire caused the daimyo to lose power for the first time, which is why the daimyo of the other four countries rushed to the Land of Fire.

"This matter...isn't it a good thing? I trust the Sixth Hokage completely," the Fire Country Daimyo said nonchalantly. "What are you talking about?" the Earth Country Daimyo retorted angrily.

"It seems that Yuanshi couldn't explain it clearly, so I'll explain the specifics." A clear female voice rang out. The daimyo of Shikoku looked over and saw Mashiro smiling.

"Sixth Hokage, what are you doing here?" the Daimyo of the Land of Water asked in surprise.

"Why here? That's a good question. Perhaps it's to make you more obedient." As she spoke, Mashiro's eyes transformed into pale blue Rinnegan.

"Kaguya, how have you been feeling these past few days?" In the villa, Mashiro held Kaguya and asked softly.

“I’m still getting used to it a little, but it feels pretty good. Not only do you have me here, but the atmosphere in this village is also very harmonious, and all the desserts are delicious,” Kaguya said sweetly.

Because of the lack of chakra in her body, Kaguya was initially very uneasy, but with Mashiro's comfort and help, she is now gradually adapting. In particular, the various new things and delicacies of this era have given Kaguya an unprecedented sense of gentleness.

"That's good, as long as Kaguya likes it."

As she spoke softly, Mashiro's hands began to move. "Mashiro"

With Mashiro's movements,

Kaguya's pretty face turned red.
