XX-level Hokage

“That’s right, she’s an Otsutsuki.” Naruto patted Boruto’s hair in a comforting tone. “Mashiro is an Otsutsuki?!?!!” Boruto began to wonder if he was dreaming.

"I'll explain when we get back, Naruto. You take Boruto back first," Sasuke said calmly. "Sasuke..." Naruto seemed to know what Sasuke was going to do, and a worried look appeared on his face.

Sasuke nodded slightly.

"I understand, be careful," Naruto said seriously, then left with a bewildered Boruto. Sasuke silently followed Mashiro.

With her powerful senses, Mashiro easily found Kawami and knew that Sasuke was following behind her.

But Mashiro wasn't in a hurry. She quietly followed Kawaki and eventually waited for Cowd. Back to the present.

Kaud was staring at Mashiro in utter astonishment, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and nervousness.

“Cowd, this is a warning I’m giving you as an ally. Run! Abandon Kawaki and run! You absolutely cannot defeat her now, and I have a feeling she seems to have become even stronger,” Ada said earnestly.

Calder hesitated for only a moment at Ida's suggestion before making up his mind. "I want to try and see how big the gap is between me and her," Calder muttered to himself.

In his view, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape with the ability of Claw Mark. Hearing this, Ada stopped talking.

Kawaki looked at Mashiro with a complicated expression. To be honest, he loathed the Otsutsuki, but now he was about to be saved by one.

But no matter what, he still hoped that Mashiro could win. Compared to an untimely bomb, dealing with a time bomb was more urgent. "You didn't run away? I really underestimated you," Mashiro said softly.

Kawder casually tossed Kawaki to the ground and instantly launched an attack. Claw marks.

Black claw marks spread from the space, trying to appear directly on Mashiro's body.

Upon seeing this, Mashiro's eyes lit up, transforming into sky-blue Rinnegan with tomoe. Black claw marks spread across Mashiro's body, then instantly ceased to function.

The claw marks that existed in space were indeed almost unavoidable, but Mashiro was no longer there. "Was it useless?"

Emerging from the claw marks, Kaud instantly unleashed an area-of-effect attack. The black claw marks began to spread in all directions.

"Found it!" Kaud vanished from his spot in an instant, then reappeared from a claw mark not far away, his right hand instantly transforming into a sharp claw to stab. But the claw shattered the moment it appeared.

With a kick, Kaud was sent flying, and Mashiro appeared in the same spot.

Looking at the claw marks on her body, Mashiro said softly, "So that's how it is. Forcibly connecting objects or living beings to space, how interesting."

When Kaud launched his area-of-effect attack, Mashiro didn't dodge. She wanted to experience Kaud's divine magic. This was... "Getting up from the ground, Kaud looked at his right hand.

The instant he unleashed his attack, he felt an incredibly domineering force suppress his chakra.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll end the battle." "Transition from time, remove the claw marks from my body, and return to the present," Mashiro whispered.

To deal with Kaud, Mashiro no longer planned to use Ranya Tianchen, as that would make the game meaningless. "Damn it!" Kaud suddenly waved his hand.

A dozen or so black spikes rushed toward Mashiro.

Mashiro stood still, offering no resistance whatsoever. The black thorns turned to ash the instant they approached Mashiro.

“That eerie feeling again.” Cowder’s expression was incredibly gloomy; for the first time, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness. “Now, it’s my turn to attack,” Mashiro said, gently extending her finger.

A black energy form began to condense. "Concentrated Tailed Beast Ball"

A Tailed Beast Ball the size of a grape shot towards Kaud in an instant. "Oh no!"

Kaud instantly unleashed his claw marks.

Immediately afterward, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded in front of Mashiro, only to be instantly neutralized by the Susanoo Domain. "What is this?" Mashiro looked at Kawde with some confusion.

Suddenly, a green-haired boy appeared on Calder's shoulder. It was Dimon.

Just now, when facing Mashiro's condensed Tailed Beast Ball, it was too late for Kaud to dodge using his claw marks. So he used his backup plan, using the claw marks he had left on Ada to pull Dimon over to block the attack.

Thanks to the ability to reflect killing intent, Mashiro's attack was instantly reflected back in front of him.

If Mashiro hadn't been using her Susanoo Domain the whole time, she probably would have actually been hit by her own attack. "Hey! Caud, what's going on here, you bastard?" Dimon said, quite annoyed.

"Let's not talk about this now, let's go back quickly," Caud said urgently, leading Dimon back to the base through the claw marks.

"Do you think you can escape?" Mashiro said softly. Then her eyes lit up.

An invisible strike appeared. Asura Slash!

Chapter 272: Mashiro and Ada

With the claw marks closed, Caud and Dimon returned to their Snow Country base.

Just as Kaud was about to breathe a sigh of relief, an invisible strike severed his body at the waist, and then Mashiro appeared out of thin air not far away.

Ashura Slash can cut through time. The moment Mashiro unleashed it, Kaud, who had no time or rule abilities to resist, was already doomed.

Time cut through everything, bringing Mashiro along with it to the moment when Kaud was struck.

In other words, from Mashiro's perspective, she appeared here the instant she used Ashura Slash. In front of her was Kaud, who had been cut in half at the waist. The time it took for Kaud to enter the claw marks and return to the Snow Country base was cut off.

Kaud lay on the ground, still in disbelief. The sudden slash had given him no time to react; it seemed to have been there from the very beginning.

Even he, in his semi-Otsutsuki form, couldn't stop such an attack.

Mashiro quietly approached Cowd, preparing to deliver the final blow. "Ada, save me!" Cowd cried out weakly.

Mashiro turned to look ahead. Not far away, on a sofa, sat a beautiful girl with long blue hair, holding the green-haired boy who could deflect attacks in her arms.

“Ada?!” Mashiro muttered to herself, suddenly remembering the information Naruto had given her about Amado.

Mashiro then opened the system panel. [Name: Ada]

Gender: Female Age: 16 Affection Level: 40 Relationship: ?

Favorability Reward (50): Divine Magic - Clairvoyance Favorability Reward (90): Divine Magic - Omnipotence [Name: Dimon]

Favorability Bonus (50): Ultimate Physical Skills Favorability Bonus (90): Killing Intent Reflection "So it really was them? Such power..."

Mashiro's eyes darkened for a moment, then she chuckled and looked at Ada, asking, "Do you want to help him?"

Ada glanced at Mashiro, then at the dying Calder lying on the ground, and said coldly, "No, I already warned him. This is his own fault. Besides, Dimon and I are more than capable of protecting ourselves, but if I wanted to kill you, I would likely die. I'm afraid of pain and don't want to do anything that would be pointless."

“Ada, don’t forget we’re allies!” Cowd said anxiously. “Really? I forgot,” Ada said calmly.

Kaud tried to struggle one more time, but in an instant, two slashes severed his hands.

Amidst Kaud's screams, Mashiro turned to look at him and said softly, "It seems you're not as important as you thought. So, goodbye."

The black flames of Amaterasu instantly engulfed Kaud's entire body. Having lost his arm, he could no longer absorb or endure the flames, and moments later, Kaud turned to ashes. Kaud, who had inherited the will of the One Style, thus brought the curtain to a close as the second leader of the "Zero" organization.

After dealing with Kaud, Mashiro walked quietly to the bar, poured herself a drink, and then sat down opposite Ada.

"You don't seem nervous at all?" Mashiro asked softly. Ada didn't answer.

“That’s true. With Dimon around, I can’t hurt you,” Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Ada frowned slightly and said, "So Amado really told you about me and Dimon? That makes sense. For him, everything can be a bargaining chip. Just like you said, it's because of Dimon that I dare to sit so calmly across from you."

Ever since learning about Ada and Dimon from the information provided by Naruto, Mashiro had been in a state of skepticism, but now it seemed that such power truly existed.

Despite some of Shinji's abilities still functioning under Dimon's killing intent reflex, they were completely unable to harm the two of them.

Aside from Dimon's murderous intent reflex, what Mashiro has been puzzled about recently is the "Divine Art: Omnipotence" mentioned in Ada's affection reward. Isn't Ada's second divine art charm according to the information? What kind of ability is Omnipotence?

[Divine Art - Omnipotence: Originating from the abilities of Otsutsuki Shibai, it is a type of divine art that can materialize anything and turn one's thoughts into reality.]

In truth, this is the power that God used when creating the world, and it is the ultimate power that only gods can control.

Upon seeing the explanation in the system panel, Mashiro's smile softened even more.

She now has a new idea; after all, Ida is very beautiful, isn't she?

"Cauder is dead. What are your plans now?" Mashiro asked with a light laugh. "I..." Ada tried to say something, but realized she really had nowhere to go. "How about coming to Konoha? A peaceful life isn't so bad," Mashiro said softly.

"Konoha, we are members of the Kara organization. Are you sure you want us to go to Konoha?" Ada asked.

"So what? You're just a 16-year-old girl, only gained powerful abilities after being modified. You're not a bad person, I'll vouch for you." Mashiro took a sip of her drink and said.

"So that's how you see me?" Ada's expression softened inexplicably. She really liked Mashiro's expression and attitude of communicating on an equal footing.

"And one more thing, you're a very beautiful girl, at least I like you a lot," Mashiro said softly, gazing at Ada.

Looking into Mashiro's eyes, which were full of gentleness and depth, and hearing Mashiro's words, Ada's mind began to go blank.

"What did she say?! She said she likes me?! Likes me? Does that mean what I think it means?! What should I do?! It's so strange, but I'm inexplicably happy. Also, did she just compliment my looks? Oh dear, I'm so shy..."

Ada's face flushed slightly as her mind raced with chaotic thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Mashiro stood up, reached out, and gently patted Ada's shoulder. Divine Art: Sura Bewitching Divine Power, activated!

Several thoughts began to take root in Ada's mind.

Since the god of the demons, Suro, did not harbor any ill intentions, Dimon's killing intent did not rebound.

Whether it was due to Ada's modified physique or the passive effect of the "Divine Art: Omnipotence" within her body, only two of the twenty thoughts implanted by Mashiro were retained.

I really want to be in a relationship.

I love her beautiful face and gentle eyes.

"No, it's nothing," Ada said softly. For some reason, I felt a momentary dizziness. I looked up and saw Mashiro.

"So beautiful," Ada exclaimed involuntarily. "Hmm?" Mashiro looked at Ada with some confusion.

Her milky white eyes, tinged with pale blue, radiated a warm and romantic light.

Ada was somewhat dazed, her eyes becoming a little unfocused. As for the choice, Mashiro might also be a good option.

The goodwill left by Mashiro's defeat of Isshiki, the curiosity generated after seeing Mashiro and the blooming of the Hikari Lily, and now the implanted idea—Ada's thoughts have changed at this moment.

[Ada's favorability +5]

“Okay.” Ada lowered her head. “What?” Mashiro asked with a smile.

“Let’s go to Konoha, just as you said.” Ada looked up and said with a smile. “Then, let’s go together.” Mashiro extended her hand to Ada.

"Let's make it clear first, you'll protect me if we're in danger, right?" Ada suddenly asked. "Of course, didn't I tell you? I like you a lot, Ada," Mashiro said earnestly.

Ada's face inexplicably flushed, and then she placed her hand in Mashiro's. [Ada's Affection +5, Reward: Divine Magic - Clairvoyance]

Chapter 273: Part 2 (Part 1)

On the way back to Konoha, Mashiro spread her paper wings, cradling a shy Ada in her arms. Beside her, Dimon sat on a paper cloud, looking utterly bewildered.

It's strange. My sister can fly on her own, so why does she insist on being carried by that Otsutsuki? Also, she seems much gentler than before. "Has Ada ever been in love?" Mashiro asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Ada was stunned for a moment, then shook her head heavily.

"Both Damon and I were adopted by the Kara organization when we were very young. Because of our special physical condition, Amado conducted many experiments on us. It was because of those experiments that I have my current abilities. Apart from Damon and Otsutsuki, everyone likes me the moment they see me."
