XX-level Hokage

“Not only that,” Vivi added softly, “I heard there’s another sister over there who possesses the ‘Eye of God,’ named Otsutsuki Tenchen. Mashiro once mentioned that her power is even close to that of the creator god.”

Alice gazed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, her thoughts drifting away.

In this world, she is a noble princess and a beloved figure among the younger generation.

But she knew that in that unknown land, there was a group of sisters who shared the same blood as her.

"I really want to see them," Alice murmured to herself. "I want to test my Wind Release against Aunt Tsunade's daughter, and see if Aunt Tsunade's daughter is..."

He truly possesses immense strength.

There will be an opportunity. Perona suddenly grinned mischievously, a golden invitation appearing in her hand. "Master Mashiro sent a message back, saying that..."

To celebrate the complete stabilization of the passage between the two realms and the averting of the great flood crisis, a gathering of the royal families of both realms is planned.

"Really?!" Alice and Lilim exclaimed in unison.

The location is set in the imperial capital of the Ninja Kingdom. Vivi nodded, her eyes gentle. "All the sisters will be there, whether from the Ocean Kingdom or the Ninja Kingdom."

"That's awesome!" Lilim excitedly twirled in the air. "I'm going to wear my cutest ghost dress! I'm going to steal the spotlight from that Aunt Tayuya's daughter! I heard she likes this dark style too!"

Although Alice didn't act that exaggeratedly, her hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and her eyes burned with anticipation.

“If that’s the case, I’ll have to train even harder,” Alice said softly. “I can’t let Alabasta and my father down in front of my sisters in the other world.”

Just then, the ugly-cute teddy bear that had been floating beside Lilim suddenly moved and actually made a sound: "Lady Lilim... if you eat any more sweets... you won't be able to fit into your dress."

"Rozine! Kumasi! Don't speak!"

Lilim blushed and quickly covered the doll's mouth. A burst of cheerful laughter came from the terrace.

Under the tranquil desert sky, the girls' aspirations for the future are as clear and vibrant as the spring water in this oasis.

Side Story: The Other Side of the Sea (Part 3)

Location: Kuri, Wano Country, New World; Season: Late spring, when cherry blossoms have fallen.

The mornings in Wano Country always carry a faint sense of tranquility and elegance.

As one of the most fortified strongholds of the "Ocean Kingdom" in the New World, this once closed-off warrior nation is now a prosperous and thriving place after all industries have been revitalized.

In Kuri, next to the ruins of Oden Castle, a new villa called "Toki no Su" has been built.

In the courtyard, beneath a huge, ancient cherry blossom tree, a girl dressed in a light blue furisode kimono stood quietly. In her hand she held a black lacquered bow almost as long as her height, its surface shimmering with a strange, emerald-green light.

The girl had long, dark green hair, as deep as the ocean, that flowed smoothly down to her waist, with the ends turning a strange silvery-white. Her face inherited the gentleness and nobility of her mother, Guan Yue, but her eyes were golden pupils that seemed to see through the passage of time, so deep that they were unlike any ordinary person.

She is the daughter of Mashiro and Amaterasu Toki—Amaterasu Kohaku. "The wind has stopped."

Amber whispered softly, her voice clear and cold like jade striking each other.

She didn't nock an arrow; she simply drew the bowstring. At that moment, the cherry blossom petals falling around her seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, and they miraculously hovered in mid-air.

"The Arrow of Time - A Moment." (A sound of something being fed.)

After the soft snap of the bowstring, no actual arrow flew out.

However, a hundred meters away, the heavy ironwood bullseye suddenly appeared with a smooth, round hole running through it, after a half-second delay.

Then, as if released from some kind of restraint, the suspended cherry blossom petals began to fall again. Still, a fraction of a second too late.

Amber slightly furrowed her brow, seemingly dissatisfied with the result. She put down the bow and rubbed her wrist gently. "Amber, you've improved your control over time far more than I did back then."

A gentle voice drifted from the corridor. Azuki Toki, dressed in an elegant kimono, held a tray and smiled at her daughter. Time seemed to have left few marks on this woman who had traversed eight hundred years; she remained breathtakingly beautiful. "Mother," Kohaku turned and gave Azuki Toki a standard Wano Country greeting, "What brings you here?"

"Let me see if my daughter forgot to eat breakfast because of archery practice." Shi walked over with a smile, placing a tray on the stone table with Amber's favorite red bean rice cake soup on it. "Besides, today is a special day, isn't it?"

Amber took the bowl, her eyes flickering slightly: "You mean... that big guy is coming?"

"Hehe, if Carrot hears you calling Zunesha a big guy, she'll be angry." Shi covered his mouth and chuckled. "After all, that's sacred land for the Mink Tribe."

Amber took a sip of hot soup, and a faint smile finally appeared on her lips: "I'm not worried about Aunt Carrot, I'm more worried about that restless girl. Every time she comes, my courtyard is doomed."

Before the words were finished, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

On the distant coastline, the giant elephant (Zeus) walking on the sea—Zou (Zou's fluffy principality)—is slowly approaching Wano Country.

On the giant elephant's back, a white lightning bolt was hurtling down from the clouds at an astonishing speed, its target Kuri's "Time's Abode." "Garchu!!!!! Amber!!!"

With a burst of energetic cheers, the white lightning bolt struck directly into the courtyard. Boom!

Dust billowed up, and the newly fallen cherry blossom petals were once again swept high into the air by the strong air currents. When the dust settled, a figure full of wildness and cuteness appeared.

She was a rabbit-furry girl with snow-white fur, wearing a short cloak and combat skirt similar to those worn by the "musketeers," and her two long rabbit ears on her head were twitching excitedly.

What's most striking is her short, loose silver hair and her large, bright red eyes that seem to sparkle like lightning.

She is Coco, the daughter of Mashiro and Carrot. "Long time no see, Amber!"

Coco completely disregarded etiquette, leaping forward and instantly transforming into a blur as she pounced on Amber, nuzzling her cheek affectionately against hers. "Garchu! Garchu! Did you miss me? I missed you so much!"

Amber was helplessly hugged by the enthusiastic rabbit, and almost spilled the red bean soup she was still holding.

“Too close, Coco.” Amber said this, but she didn’t push her away. She just sighed softly. “Also, you’ve messed up the fallen leaves that Mother just swept up.”

"Hehe, sorry, sorry!" Coco released Amber, landed lightly on the ground, and gave Shi a somewhat comical military salute. "Hello, Aunt Shi! Carrot's mother asked me to bring you some super-strong dried carrots, a specialty of Zou!"

"Welcome, Coco." Shi smiled and patted Coco's rabbit ears. "You look much taller than last time, and... your static electricity is stronger too."

"Of course!" Coco proudly puffed out her chest, her fingertips crackling with blue and white arcs of electricity. "I'm now a candidate for captain of the Musketeer Squad, recognized by Duke Inuarashi and Boss Nekosaba! Even Uncle Sicilian said my electrical skills have surpassed his!"

"Is that so?" Amber put down the empty bowl, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes. "In that case, why don't we go to the dojo and give it a try? I also want to see if your speed can really outpace mine."

Coco's ears perked up instantly, and her red eyes were filled with excitement: "That's exactly what I wanted! I lost to you last time because I accidentally stepped on a banana peel, but I definitely won't lose this time!"

Location: Former site of Oden Castle, Royal Training Ground

This place was once where Kozuki Oden practiced his swordsmanship; now it has become Kohaku and Coco's exclusive cutting ground.

The two stood facing each other, fifty meters apart. A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a few fallen leaves.

"Are you ready?" Amber slowly raised the bow in her hand, not nocking an arrow, but simply drawing back the bowstring. Her aura instantly became calm as still water, and the surrounding air seemed to thicken.

"I'm ready anytime!" Coco lowered her body, her legs slightly bent, her white fur bristling slightly, and a strong electric current formed a layer of flesh around her.

The armor was clearly visible. "Begin!"

At Shi's command, a series of loud bangs erupted!

Coco's figure vanished instantly, leaving only two charred footprints on the ground. Her speed was extreme; she covered fifty meters in the blink of an eye and appeared to Amber's left.

"Electric · White Rabbit Thunder Kick!"

A foot, crackling with high-voltage electricity, slammed into Amber's shoulder.

However, Amber didn't even turn her head. "Too slow."

Golden light swirled in the amber pupils.

In her vision, Coco's lightning-fast movements were now being played out in a very slow, staccato manner.

"The Realm of Time - Slowness"

A transparent ripple suddenly appeared in the space within a three-meter radius of the amber.

Coco, who had just entered this field, felt as if she had fallen into a pool of solidified glue. Her once incredibly fast kicks became as slow as a snail.

Amber gracefully sidestepped the kick, then swung her longbow like a whip, the bow's back lightly striking Coco's back. "Release."

With a soft shout from Amber, the flow of time returned to normal. Bang!

Coco was sent flying by this seemingly light blow, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Coco rubbed her back and stood up, looking unwilling. "It's that trick again! Amber, you cheated! Slowing down time is too unfair!"

“This is the power my father bestowed upon me, and it is also part of my strength,” Amber said calmly, drawing back the bowstring. “Moreover, although your speed is fast, your intentions are too obvious, like a wild boar that only knows how to charge in a straight line.”

"Who's the wild boar?! I'm the rabbit!"

Coco was enraged. She took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening. She looked up at the sky. Although it was broad daylight and there was no full moon, as the daughter of Shinshiro, she possessed a bloodline that was superior to that of ordinary Mink.

"Since that's the case... then let me show you this!"

The electricity around Coco suddenly changed from blue-white to an eerie crimson. Her body didn't grow larger, but her originally smooth short hair instantly sprouted...

Her hair grew long and flowing silver, and the whites of her eyes disappeared, turning into pure blood red.

"Sulong HalfMoon mode."

A violent and wild aura instantly swept across the entire training ground.

Amber's expression finally changed. She could sense that Coco in this form was not only increasing in speed, but also forcibly plundering the natural energy around her.

This time, I won't let you catch me again!

Coco's voice became a little hoarse. The next second, she disappeared.

It wasn't a visual disappearance, but an extreme speed that almost caused even amber's "perception of time" to lose track of it. Loss of Time - Future Vision!

Amber vanished, her golden pupils blazing brightly. She didn't look at what was before her, but rather towards "the future a second from now." There!

Amber turned around abruptly and drew the bowstring towards the empty space behind her.

An arrow of light, formed instantly from pure chakra and the power of time, proclaimed, "Here!"

Almost simultaneously, Coco appeared in that spot, her claws crackling with violent electricity about to strike.

And the amber arrow of light landed squarely in her palm. Boom!!!

A tremendous explosion resounded through the sky. Red lightning and emerald green time waves collided violently in the center of the training ground, and the resulting shockwaves ripped the stone slabs off the ground and snapped the surrounding trees in half.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the two figures separated, and the guest glided backward for dozens of miles.

Coco reverted to her Sulong form and returned to her short-haired appearance, panting heavily. Her clothes were somewhat torn, making her look a bit wolfish.

Although Amber still stood ramrod straight, a corner of her once-neat kimono sleeve was scorched, and her hand holding the bow trembled slightly. "Stop."

Tenzuki's voice rang out at the right moment. She smiled and waved her hand, a gentle force calming the restlessness in the arena. "If the fighting continues, the ruins of Oden Castle will probably collapse again."

"Huff... Huff..." Coco plopped down on the ground, wiped the dust off her face, and then grinned, "Hehe, is this a draw? I did manage to touch the hem of your clothes, Amber."

Amber looked at her charred cuff, a helpless smile appearing on her tense face: "Ah, you won. If it were a life-or-death battle, my defenses might not have been able to completely withstand that explosion."

"Yay! We finally won!" Coco jumped up excitedly.

Amber put away her longbow, walked to Coco's side, and handed her a handkerchief: "Your control over the crescent moon form is getting better and better. If Father sees this,..."

They will definitely be very happy.
