XX-level Hokage

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]

Gender: Male Age: 10 Favorability: 10 Relationship: Strangers

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."

"I can't tell whether they genuinely like me or are simply influenced by my abilities, so there's no reason or opportunity for me to be in a relationship," Ada said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Are you very dissatisfied with the power you currently possess?" Mashiro asked with some curiosity.

Ada shook her head and replied, "Of course not. The reason why Dimon and I can be so willful right now is entirely due to our abilities. I'm just a little greedy; while gaining this power, I don't want to lose the right to love."

"So, have you found it now? Your love?" Mashiro asked with a smile, her tone somewhat profound.

Ada glanced at Mashiro, her face slightly flushed, then looked down at the ground and said softly, "If I want to get love, I can only rely on the Otsutsuki. There are three Otsutsuki in the ninja world right now: Kawaki, Boruto, and you."

"So who are you planning to choose? The cool and mature Kawaki, the sunny and cute Boruto, or perhaps just me, who's nothing special?" Mashiro said jokingly.

“Originally, I thought Kawaki was the best choice, after all, Boruto is too young, but now, as Ada said this, she raised her head, looked into Mashiro’s eyes, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

“But now, I seem to have a different idea,” Ada said, trying to appear calm.

"Then, please take care of me." Mashiro smiled and gently kissed Ada on the forehead.

Ada's face instantly turned bright red. [Ada's favorability +5]

Back in Konoha, Mashiro settled Ada and Dimon in an inn, and then found Naruto.

"...That's how it is. Ada and Dimon will need to stay here for a while," Mashiro said calmly. "Okay, I understand. I'll leave it to you then," Naruto hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before I leave with Ada and Dimon." Mashiro noticed Naruto's worry and said softly. "Um..." Naruto wanted to explain something, but Mashiro turned and left.

She plans to increase Ida and Dimon's favorability next, and then return to her own time.

The system task is now 99% complete, and Mashiro knows he should tackle the remaining 1%. Compared to the mature Sasuke and Naruto now, Mashiro still prefers them in their youth.

In the following days, Mashiro would occasionally spend time with Mirai and Hikari, but she spent most of her time with Ada and Dimon.

I accompanied Ida shopping, buying clothes, and watching movies. I played video games with Dimon, bought toys, and ate snacks.

I quickly raised Ada's affection level to 70, and Dimon's affection level to 45. The time was right.

On the sofa, Mashiro lay asleep on Ada's lap. Ada gazed at Mashiro with affection, gently stroking her hair. Just then, Mashiro whispered, "Ada, you should know, my origins are extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Ada paused for a moment, then said softly, "That's right, my eyes can see everyone's present and past, but not yours."

In my eyes, your past only lasted until a month ago, when you suddenly appeared in Konoha.

"So, are you curious about my background?" Mashiro asked with a smile.

Ada pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, "I might have been a little curious before, but now, as long as you don't tell me, I don't want to know. No matter what your background is, I'm happy as long as you're by my side."

Upon hearing this, Mashiro nodded slightly, realizing that the girl's feelings were not a spur-of-the-moment decision as she had thought, but rather incredibly intense.

Mashiro was unaware that, for Ada, it was precisely because she possessed the ability to make everyone fall in love with her that she valued love more than most people. Once she felt love, it would surge forth continuously, intensely and passionately.

In other words, Ada would never refuse any unreasonable request from Mashiro.

"This is indeed a secret to me, but we're a couple, and I don't want to hide anything from you. Actually, I come from the past." Mashiro reached out and stroked Ada's face, speaking softly.

"The past?" Although she had considered this possibility, Ada was still quite surprised when Mashiro said it herself.

"To be precise, it's a past that has changed. The past of this ninja world is different from the past of the ninja world I exist in. For some inexplicable reason, I came here by accident," Mashiro said softly.

"A different past?" Ada still seemed a little confused.

“Anyway, I’m going back to my own time and world soon, Ada. Do you want to come with me?” Mashiro asked sincerely. “I’d love to,” Ada replied with a smile, without the slightest hesitation.

For her, apart from Dimon, she had no relatives in this world, nor any place of belonging or familiarity.

“Ada, you’re so cute.” With that, Mashiro reached out and grabbed Ada’s neck, then leaned back and their lips met. For a long time.

Ida remained stunned, her mind blank, her face flushed, and strands of silver hair trickled down her lips. Three days later.

Shinshiro, carrying light, led Ada and Dimon to Loulan, or more accurately, the ruins of Loulan.

Time has buried the last traces of Loulan, leaving only ruins and the dragon vein hidden beneath the yellow sand. The dragon vein created by Zhenbai.

"Is this the passage that leads back to the past?" Hikaru asked with some curiosity.

“That’s right. Beneath the yellow sand in front of us lies a portion of the world’s primordial power, a divine artifact of the Otsutsuki clan, and the full power within the body of an Otsutsuki clan member,” Mashiro said softly.

Then she stepped forward lightly. Mashiro extended her hand.

White energy began to emanate, instantly enveloping the four people.

At the same time, Mashiro's chakra began to drain rapidly, as she had to absorb the chakra of four people traveling through time simultaneously. However, for Mashiro, whose chakra was now almost limitless, absorbing the Dragon Vein was nothing special.
