Only one last lottery chance remained. Moku Kairen stared at the almost-burned-out green incense.
"Sage, bless me!"
The big wheel spun and, under Moku Kairen's expectant gaze, slowly came to a stop.
Moku Kairen's pupils dilated to the maximum, his heart full of excitement, because what he saw was—
[Senju Clan Sage Body]
Kekkei Genkai—the Kekkei Genkai of the Senju Clan.
Wood Release was not actually their Kekkei Genkai; it was developed by Senju Hashirama alone.
Although the original story never explicitly stated the Senju Clan's Kekkei Genkai, the hallmark of the clan was their massive chakra reserves and strong affinity with chakra, similar in some respects to the Uzumaki Clan.
Take for example a typical Senju member like Senju Tobirama—immense chakra reserves, talent in jutsu beyond the norm, and most of Konoha's forbidden techniques were developed by him.
The true source of countless forbidden arts!
Tsunade also developed numerous forbidden techniques: Strength of a Hundred Seal, Yin Seal, monstrous strength, always losing at gambling, lofty ambitions, an insatiable desire…
Thus the system defined this kind of body, beyond the limits of an ordinary ninja, as a Kekkei Genkai.
A stream of green energy coursed through Moku Kairen's entire body, forcibly twisting his DNA coding, causing a powerful transformation.
The number of cells in his body grew more and more, surpassing even double that of a normal ninja. His physical strength slowly increased as well.
He looked at his Special Jōnin template. The outward attributes of his physical strength—[Str] and [Spd]—steadily rose. These were stats that normally cost 100 experience points to raise by just one.
Because of the Senju Clan Sage Body, his [Str] and [Spd] reached 5 at mid-Special Jōnin level, saving Moku Kairen 800 experience points directly.
Moku Kairen clenched his fist, feeling as though his muscles were brimming with unimaginable power. He suddenly punched the stone where the mouse was tied.
"Bang!"
Mouse: ⊙_⊙
With a loud boom, the stone, taller than Moku Kairen, shattered into several pieces.
He remembered that when Orochimaru attacked Konoha, Might Guy punched a Sunagakure ninja in the abdomen, blasting a giant hole into the wall behind that ninja.
And Might Guy had not even opened the Eight Gates then—he relied purely on physical strength.
Moku Kairen's strength was still far from Might Guy's, but he believed that in the near future, he could possess such power.
The boost from the Senju Clan Sage Body did not end there. A gentle force slowly merged with Moku Kairen's Byakugan.
Under this yang energy, his Byakugan underwent unimaginable changes.
Moku Kairen activated the Byakugan. This time, his detection range instantly expanded to 5 kilometers, and the Byakugan's level rose to Intermediate.
He looked at his Special Jōnin template:
[Special Jōnin Moku Kairen]
[Ninja Eight Attributes]: Nin 2, Tai 2, Gen 2, Int 2, Str 5, Spd 5, Sta 1, Seal 1.
[Chakra Four Attributes]: Chakra Level: Jōnin-class.
Chakra Attributes: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Yin, Yang.
Chakra Control: 20% proficiency.
Chakra Nature Transformation: Fire (30% proficiency), Yin (20% proficiency), others: none.
[Kekkei Genkai]: Byakugan (Intermediate), Senju Clan Sage Body (Beginner).
…
First, Moku Kairen's chakra level had risen to Jōnin-class thanks to the Senju Clan Sage Body.
He also inherited the Senju Clan's regular three attributes—Water, Earth, and Yang. The extra Wind attribute was a bonus for topping up.
Harvesting so much at once, Moku Kairen couldn't help but want to burst into song and dance. And so he did.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Moku Kairen immediately performed the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. In an instant, the mountain slope was filled with at least 300 shadow clones.
The clones were influenced by Moku Kairen's emotions too—their faces beamed with joy.
"Hahaha…"
One by one they laughed like Sasuke.
Moku Kairen used his remaining experience points to exchange for dozens of cases of champagne.
"Everyone, tonight we're not leaving until we're drunk!"
"Yosh——!"
The crowd of clones responded in unison, singing and dancing together.
During the process, some clones even performed ventriloquism, using chakra vibrations to simulate club music.
"Boom boom boom… bang bang bang… ka ka ka…"
"Get hyped!"
In an instant, the entire hilltop turned into a sea of joy.
To rave on the battlefield—Moku Kairen might be the only one in the world daring enough to do so!
Well, there was one other—the Uchiha clan's dance king, Madara-sama on the battlefield.
In the pile of stones, the mouse kidnapped by Moku Kairen was barely alive, but its eyes glimmered with human-like light.
This was a surveillance mouse carrying a jutsu. The other end of the technique was 10 kilometers away with Special Jōnin Yūten.
Yūten had been ordered by Shimura Masao to monitor Moku Kairen, but he didn't dare get too close for fear of being discovered and cut down by him.
So he had cast his jutsu onto the mouse to monitor Moku Kairen from afar.
"What is Moku Kairen doing? Did he just discover me? Damn it, I was so discreet—how could he notice?"
Yūten released his technique, but not before taking one last look at the night-time dancing shadow clones.
"So many shadow clones—and their moves—this is just like the people dancing in the adult clubs of big cities. How can Moku Kairen dare to dance on the battlefield?"
"How dare he?!"
"Insane! He's insane!"
…
The next day, Moku Kairen lay drunkenly on the rocks.
Beside him were scattered shadow clones, all red-faced, muttering dirty words.
"Hic~ I… I want… Yūhi Kurenai, I… I want Tsunade, I… want… want Terumi Mei, Hi… Hinata, Hanabi…"
Two figures flickered by—it was Yūhi Kurenai and Yūhi Shinku, who regularly came to check on Moku Kairen.
Yūhi Kurenai approached worriedly. She couldn't tell which was the real body, so she shouted loudly: "Kairen, Kairen, what's wrong with you?"
"Hic~"
Moku Kairen hiccupped, his head heavy. Vaguely hearing Yūhi Kurenai's voice, he stretched out his hand to indicate he was the real one.
Yūhi Kurenai found him and helped him up: "Why is your face so red? And why do you smell like alcohol?"
"You've been drinking!!"
Yūhi Kurenai pinched Moku Kairen's little face: "Kairen, you've broken one of the Three Ninja Taboos! And you're still a minor!"
"Hic~ What's to fear? I… I'm not only going to drink, I'll also… also indulge in lust, also… smoke, drink… drink drink drink, perm my hair… hic~"
Moku Kairen staggered away as more than a dozen shadow clones nearby dispersed.
He had drunk dozens of bottles of high-proof liquor last night, and the clones had drunk too. Their intoxication had accumulated in Moku Kairen's brain.
An ordinary person would have died from this.
"Hic~ I… who am I? I… what am I doing?"
"Hic~"
Moku Kairen was now so drunk he didn't know who he was or what he was doing.
Yūhi Shinku didn't bother asking where the alcohol came from but moved closer to lecture Moku Kairen: "You're really careless, kid. This is the battlefield, and you're stationed at the most dangerous Eighth Frontline. What if someone sneaks up?"
Drunken words reveal the truth. Moku Kairen finally remembered a bit, but still groggy. Fearless, he said: "Fear… fear what? I… I'm an immortal ninja. Who… who can kill me?"
"Hic~"
Yūhi Kurenai pinched Moku Kairen's red cheeks: "What immortal ninja? Kairen, you're bragging again!"
"Hic~ Brag… bragging?! I… I, Moku Kairen, never brag. I… I want to dance, I want to dance on the battlefield, I… I want to dance with Uchiha Madara… compete for heroism!"
"Hic~ I… I also want to die happy on Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's belly!"
Moku Kairen swayed back and forth, performing the drunken fist he had seen as a child.
"Hic~"
