Chapter 25: Opening the Gift Boxes
After some discussion about the satellites, the group eagerly returned to the main topic of the day. Everyone was brimming with excitement as the moment to open the gift boxes had finally arrived.
Jenny, curious and impatient, asked, "Which of the gift boxes are we opening first?"
Tenko, her head tilted adorably, echoed the sentiment, "Gift boxes?" Her innocent confusion made everyone's heart melt. Seeing her cute expression, Yuto couldn't help but kiss her gently on the lips and ruffle her hair. Tenko's eyes narrowed with joy, her entire face lighting up with happiness. As Yuto caressed her hair, all the other Yutos could feel the softness of her hair and the tenderness of the kiss.
Yuto, smiling, explained to Tenko, "Gift boxes contain items and products that can help us in various ways. They're full of surprises."
Jenny, feeling slightly left out, pouted. "I asked first, but you kissed Tenko and answered her first," she said, acting as if she were sulking like a baby.
Other Yuto, not one to leave Jenny or Gaia out, two Yutos stood up and walked over to them. He kissed both Jenny and Gaia, ruffling their hair in the same affectionate manner. Once again, all the Yutos could feel the shared sensation of their lips connecting, this time with twice the intensity.
After a moment of playful banter, Yuto turned back to the task at hand. "Let's open the gold and platinum gift boxes," he said.
Jenny's eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded eagerly, a smile spreading across her face.
"Let's start the draw," all the Yutos said in unison. But before they could, Yuto raised his hand and said, "First, we need to merge."
Everyone nodded, and in an instant, all the Yutos merged into one. As they combined, their aura grew stronger and stronger, pulsing with immense power. After five minutes, the power surge slowed, and Yuto stood before them, more formidable than ever.
"You're so strong," Tenko muttered in awe, before planting another kiss on his lips. Yuto patted her head affectionately before pulling both Jenny and Gaia into a kiss as well.
Then he explained, "When we're separate, our strength ranges from low super Kage level for the strongest Yuto to low Kage level for the weakest, like Writer Yuto. But when we merge, we can access up to pseudo Six Paths level. We're just one step away from full Six Paths power."
He added, "To reach the true Six Paths level, we need all versions of us to reach the super Kage level. Then we'll be the strongest Six Paths beings."
With that, the group separated once again, their mission clear: to keep growing stronger.
CEO Yuto chimed in, "Before we begin, let's stack the universe's favor." Yuto nodded in agreement.
"Use the title Universe Favor five times," Yuto commanded.
[Ding!
Using the title Universe Favor will increase luck by +200%. Do you want to use it five times?]
"Yes," Yuto replied.
[Ding!
Universe Favor activated x5.
Luck boost: +1000% max.]
With their luck maxed out, the gift box opening commenced.
[Ding!
Do you want to open the five remaining gold gift boxes?]
"Yes."
The notifications started rolling in as the gift boxes revealed their contents:
[Ding!
Opening gold gift boxes (5 remaining).
{Cost: 2000*5}]
1. Medicinal book and knowledge from a cultivation world {All knowledge related to potions, medicine, and pills.}
2. Sealed book {All forbidden Jutsu that have been banned in the ninja world.}
3. Secret technique {All secret techniques from different clans and villages.}
4. Skill: Hollow {Allows the user to turn themselves or parts of their body from real to virtual and vice versa, negating all damage.}
5. Demon cultivation techniques {Allows monsters to transform into human form.}
Everyone was stunned into silence, unable to believe the wealth of knowledge and power they had just acquired. Then, the silence was broken by a wave of excited exclamations.
Tenko, tilting her head again in confusion, asked, "Why is everyone so excited?"
CEO Yuto, grinning from ear to ear, ruffled her hair and gave her a kiss. "Because, with the Hollow skill, we can make ourselves untouchable if we don't want to be hit. No one can touch us unless we allow it."
He continued, "We needed these secret techniques for the new clans we're creating. And the demon cultivation techniques will help you, Tenko, to fully become human using the body we've kept safe for you."
Tenko, her heart swelling with gratitude, nuzzled into his chest. "Thank you for everything," she whispered.
Everyone smiled, touched by the tender moment between them.
Military Yuto, ever the pragmatist, brought the focus back. "Let's see what else we can use to strengthen ourselves."
CEO Yuto, with Tenko still on his lap, added, "We should all learn the Flying Thunder God technique to improve our mobility."
Military Yuto raised an eyebrow. "But we already have teleportation."
CEO Yuto nodded. "Yes, but with teleportation, we have to enter the dimension first and then travel to our destination. The Flying Thunder God technique allows instantaneous movement. Plus, we can use it alongside our teleportation ability, meaning we won't need to place marks for every move."
The group nodded in agreement, recognizing the versatility and advantage of mastering such techniques. They were building an empire of unparalleled power, and each new ability, each new piece of knowledge, was another step toward total domination.
With the gold gift boxes opened and their new treasures in hand, the next phase of their plan was just beginning.
