2 Glint-Glint Fruit
Character Card:
Character: One Piece Admiral Kizaru
Fusion Rate: 9%
In the mind of Kizaru, a 3D virtual and grotesque character card emerged.
This was the cheat he awakened after crossing into the Naruto world.
To accelerate the fusion rate's growth, he even forcibly changed his name from Shimura Morishin to Shimura Kizaru.
Such a treacherous act, if done by an ordinary clan member, would have been dealt with by clan rules long ago. But as a genius, one always enjoys various privileges.
As long as the surname remains unchanged!
Those were the original words of the three elders in charge of the family.
Geniuses are the hope of every clan, and Kizaru's displayed strength and talent went beyond the mere description of genius.
"A monster!"
That's how the Shimura clan privately described Kizaru; it held no derogatory sense, just pure amazement.
For the Shimura clan, Danzo was already a difficult investment to further enhance, whereas Kizaru was a new unicorn project, worthy of the entire clan's blind investment.
This was also the reason why Danzo failed to bring Kizaru into the Root. Even as an assistant to the Hokage and the clan head, he couldn't oppose the entire family's will unless he wanted to become a true outcast.
The selection at the Ninja Academy had ended. After Kizaru displayed his terrifying strength and talent, the performance of any other new student became insignificant.
Even this year's newcomers, including the heads of the Inuzuka, Aburame, and Hyuga clans, the future Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, couldn't attract the slightest attention from the village.
It wasn't that these individuals were weak or had poor aptitude; it was simply that Kizaru's performance was too terrifying and abnormal.
The Shimura clan produced a monstrous genius with the potential of the First Hokage.
Just from an enrollment selection, Kizaru had already made a preliminary name for himself in the village.
And the benefit brought was that after reaching 10% fusion rate rate for three whole months in his mind, Kizaru's fusion rate began a short-term rapid increase.
In just half a day, the fusion rate reached 10%, and the momentum didn't slow down.
In the residence of the Shimura clan, where Kizaru lived alone, with an elegant courtyard, he sat on a tatami mat leisurely sipping hot tea. After reaching 10% fusion rate, he set down his cup.
Sitting up slightly, excitement appeared on Kizaru's face.
After reaching 10% fusion rate, Kizaru unlocked a new ability, which was the cause of his excitement.
Before reaching 10% fusion rate, Kizaru had only gained the physical potential of the real Admiral Kizaru. Now, he gained the ability of a Devil Fruit.
The Glint-Glint Fruit from One Piece was one of the abilities Kizaru admired the most when watching One Piece in his previous life. It had offensive and evasive capabilities, making it a perfect ability.
Supporting himself with his left hand on the tatami mat, he leaned back and raised his right hand, and a golden glint appeared on his extended right index finger.
The light was dazzling, continuously gathering, and finally turned into a laser that shot out from his fingertip.
"Bang!"
The sound scattered, and the meticulously crafted rock garden outside instantly turned into countless fist-sized debris scattered all over the courtyard.
The unusual noise from the courtyard alarmed many clan members. A high-level ninja responsible for Kizaru's security used Body Flicker Jutsu and arrived at the entrance of the house.
Immediately, the Shimura clan's ninja looked at Kizaru, confirmed all was well, sighed with relief internally, and shifted his gaze to the courtyard.
"Young Master Kizaru, what happened?"
Shimura Isshin, one of the twelve high-level ninjas of the Shimura clan, arranged by the three elders to protect Kizaru, asked with curiosity after hearing Kizaru's explanation.
Kizaru didn't explain right away but instead looked towards the courtyard gate.
Outside the gate, the three elders of the Shimura clan, along with Danzo, who happened to be at home, were walking into the courtyard together.
They first glanced at the rock garden's debris and then simultaneously turned their gaze toward Isshin and Kizaru standing at the house's entrance.
"Isshin, what just happened?" Danzo frowned, asking.
Without knowing the situation, Isshin remained silent and simply looked at Kizaru by his side.
Seeing Isshin's reaction, everyone in the courtyard understood that the commotion just now had been caused by Kizaru. All eyes were now focused on him.
"How troublesome!" Kizaru sighed softly before preparing to speak up and explain.
Regarding the Devil Fruit's ability, Kizaru wasn't planning to hide it. Just like when he was three years old, he proactively displayed his talent.
In the world of Naruto, born into the Shimura clan in Konoha, hiding one's talent was entirely foolish.
In this chaotic ninja world, mediocre individuals would only become cannon fodder. Only geniuses had the qualifications for recognition and cultivation.
Hiding one's talent, pretending to be ordinary, would only lead to early abandonment by the family, becoming a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time.
Only by showcasing talent and becoming an acknowledged genius by the family could one receive meticulous nurturing and care.
Starting from the age of three when he revealed his talent, the clan's special treatment confirmed that Kizaru's choice was absolutely correct.
Right in front of everyone, Kizaru raised his right hand once again, extended his index finger, and golden light burst from its tip. A laser shot out rapidly, creating a large pit in the courtyard ahead.
Seeing this scene, Danzo's face displayed astonishment, while the three elders behind him were full of delight.
Due to their radiant smiles, the wrinkles on their faces became more prominent; at this moment, the three elders' faces were about to break from smiling.
For them, who had reached the end of their lives, what could be more joyous than the family birthing an unparalleled genius?
"Kizaru-kun, is this a Ninjutsu you've developed? Or..." The First Elder paused here, looking at Kizaru with eyes full of anticipation.
"Compared to Ninjutsu, I think calling it a Bloodline Limit is more appropriate," Kizaru said the words the First Elder most wanted to hear.
With an even brighter smile on his face, the First Elder hurriedly walked up to Kizaru, intimately grabbing his raised right hand and clasping it tightly.
"How long have you known?" The First Elder asked eagerly.
Kizaru made a thoughtful expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "Probably after my battle with that Uchiha kid!"
Hearing Kizaru's response, Danzo's eyes gleamed, pondering if he should send more Root members to investigate the Uchiha.
"Since when has our Shimura clan possessed such a Bloodline Limit?" spoke the Second Elder, a slightly plump figure, looking very wealthy, responsible for managing the family's business and finances.
Grasping Kizaru's right hand tightly, the First Elder quickly turned to the Second Elder and glared at him fiercely.
"You ignorant fool, the family records document that our Shimura clan's ancestors once possessed a Bloodline Limit called 'Light Release'!" the First Elder stated firmly.
The silent Third Elder hurriedly followed, "Yes, our Shimura clan indeed belongs to the ninja clans possessing Bloodline Limit!"
Seeing these two shameless old fellows, even Danzo, known as the "Darkness of Shinobi" felt inadequate.
No wonder the First Elder was so shameless. It was a good thing for the family to birth a genius, but this genius was too abnormal, which caused trouble.
Comparing a genius who awakens a Bloodline Limit to one who creates it, the former would be more easily accepted.
Therefore, after getting Kizaru's answer, the First Elder immediately classified Kizaru's displayed ability as an awakening of an ancient family bloodline.
This was for Kizaru's protection and the family's protection.
