- Longing That Shakes the Heavens (Green)
- Persuading Forgiveness Leads to Getting Chopped (Black)
- Forced Conception (Blue):]
[Longing That Shakes the Heavens (Green):
Silence cannot convey longing—feelings must be expressed through words. Whenever longing for someone, the user will involuntarily shout the person's name followed by "I miss you"; the volume, resonance, and emotional transmission are greatly enhanced. There is a small chance of startling nearby creatures.]
[Persuading Forgiveness Leads to Getting Chopped (Black):
In unclear situations—regardless of right or wrong, good or bad—persuading someone to forgive, be understanding, tolerant, or generous will greatly increase the likelihood of being chopped by weapons such as knives, axes, or swords; the probability of being struck by lightning also rises; with each act of persuasion, the user's fortune permanently decreases slightly.]
[Forced Conception (Blue):
Life begins with birth, and reproduction creates the future. When sincerely blessing someone to have offspring, the chance of them conceiving increases. Each blessing has a tiny chance of triggering the Concept of Forced Conception. During the trigger period, if that person engages in sexual activity, pregnancy is guaranteed (Note: The chance of female pregnancy is far higher than male).]
...Can I get a normal concept trait, please?
These rare things he'd only encountered a few times. But once the level rose, each one became more absurd than the last. Like [Heavenly Divine Play], which forced enemy numbers to drop to just one—an area attack, completely broken.
Or [Infinite Armory Domain], where just barely controlling the release direction was enough to cause enemy heads to roll in moments.
With [Heavenly Divine Play], he could even charge straight into the Kaguya's clan without fear, facing 3,000 of them head-on.
And with [Infinite Armory Domain], unless someone had means to resist conceptual attacks, they'd just be another soul under his blade.
But... Forcing people to get pregnant—what the hell was this?!
If the system really ran out of good concepts, he could list some: Death, Life, Creation, Destruction, Decay, Withering, Chaos, Exile...
He scratched his head. He absolutely didn't dare gift a concept trait to anyone.
If someone kept wishing him "many children and blessings" all day, the effect might be deadlier than [One Pregnancy, Nine Babies]!
Besides, the note wasn't just reminding him that women were more likely to get pregnant.
It was clearly hinting, men could too!
System… Use the blue trait upgrade on [Forced Conception].
He took a deep breath. He'd originally planned to use it on [Star Devourer].
But now, with a concept trait suddenly dropping into his lap... And the Ōtsutsuki clan clearly sitting on a stash of chakra fruits, he wasn't worried about finding resources to upgrade [Star Devourer]. So naturally, this upgrade was going to [Forced Conception] first.
As for [Silent Walker] and [Granny's Stick]... The former wasn't that useful anymore. With the secret arts of the Ōtsutsuki clan, he could already suppress his aura far better than what Silent Walker could provide.
And [Granny's Stick] was just a special-effect weapon; while its upgrade potential was decent, it wasn't as reliable as [Forced Conception], which was tied to rules now.
- [Divine Word of Fertility (Purple):]
[Divine Word of Fertility (Purple):
The Valley God is undying, known as the Mysterious Womb—the gate of mercy, root of endless life. When sincerely blessing someone to have offspring, their pregnancy chance greatly increases. Each sincere blessing guarantees a trigger of the Forced Conception concept. Within 24 hours, if any sexual activity occurs, pregnancy is guaranteed. If no such activity occurs, yin and yang naturally align, and a spiritual fetus forms on its own.]
There's not even a note anymore. Doesn't matter the gender, doesn't matter if they consent... it's just forced?
Kei stared at the trait details, his expression complicated.
Looking on the bright side... He was now like the real-life Goddess of Mercy, bestowing children. Any couple struggling to conceive, he just needed to give them a sincere blessing, and boom, wish fulfilled.
But if this trait got used wrong... Unless the target could resist rule-level effects, then 24 hours later...
He rubbed his face. Determined not to let this fall into other people's hands, he activated it immediately.
Massive amounts of information flooded his mind, including countless "blessing phrases."
His gaze swept over the group present:
Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, Izuna, Third Raikage, Ōnoki, Killer B, Rōshi, Han... Most of these were either too old, widowed, or even virgins!
If he blessed any of them, a few months later, seeing their swelling bellies, they'd probably want to off themselves on the spot.
As he pondered this, he glanced at Kaguya and Minato nearby.
Before he could speak, the ever-cautious Minato, already burned too many times by his buddy, reacted instantly.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Orochimaru, and the Tsuchikage are all still at the frontlines, they just told me to pick them up. I'm heading out now!"
Before his voice faded, Minato vanished on the spot.
Kei looked at the slightly dazed Kaguya, now aware the chakra fruit she ate wasn't normal.
He hesitated, but didn't speak to this clueless, pale, and not-so-sweet woman. Because of Hamura and Hagoromo, this woman probably had trauma when it came to children.
"Are we forgetting something?" Tsunade rubbed her chin, scanning the deck of the expeditionary ship with a frown.
"Six-Tails, Seven-Tails, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?" Kushina reminded her.
"Ah... that's on me, totally my bad."
Kei smacked his forehead. The portal of Yomotsu Hirasaka flashed open, and he returned to the battlefield from earlier.
You couldn't really blame him for forgetting those three. Compared to Kaguya, their presence was just too insignificant.
After being severed, the Ten-Tails' body had reverted into the Gedo Statue and fallen into a death-like dormant state. The Six-Tails and Seven-Tails were just lying there obediently, not even moving, nothing like their usual beastly selves.
With so many rewards still left unclaimed, how could Kei have remembered tailed beasts that were of no use to him anymore?
"Hey now! Trying to run, are we? Saiken! Chōmei! Get in here yourselves, don't make me do it!"
He looked at the two tailed beasts, who had just lifted their heads from the rubble and were clearly prepping to flee, then casually pulled out a replica of the Amber Purifying Pot from his domain.
"Wuwuwu~"The Six-Tails let out a pitiful whimper and was instantly sucked into the bottle.
"Hss~" The Seven-Tails let out a resigned hiss and followed suit.
They wanted to run, sure, but they'd already been spotted. Running now would just get them beaten!
"So they've already had their little meeting."
Seeing the two tailed beasts' reaction, Kei knew right away that all the tailed beasts must've connected through their mental link. Otherwise, no matter how tame the Six-Tails and Seven-Tails were, they wouldn't have cooperated this smoothly.
With a wave, he stored both the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Amber Purifying Pot into his domain.
Just as he turned to return to the expeditionary ship, the recently returned Orochimaru, who had been brought back by Minato, quickly left Jiraiya behind and approached him.
"The power you transferred into Jiraiya—it's essentially just a purer, higher-grade form of chakra, right? In theory, it shouldn't be capable of doing what you just did!" Her snake-like pupils sparkled with confidence. Although she hadn't run tests yet, sometimes theory and data could already tell you plenty.
If it doesn't work in theory, how can you expect it to work in practice?
"You're quick. Then try this!"
Kei grinned and gestured at Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Suddenly, the two of them were drawn toward each other, their feet stiff, and their right hands intertwined as they stood side by side, like a couple.
"This is definitely that energy fluctuation..."
Orochimaru stared at their tightly clasped hands, unable to separate them, recalling and analyzing every sensation. She extended her chakra into Jiraiya to observe the energy changes.
Just as she was about to question Kei... She turned and saw him, palms pressed together, eyes closed, reciting with complete sincerity, "I wholeheartedly wish the two of you to have many children, a flourishing lineage, an expanding family, a house full of descendants, a fruitful union, and many offspring..."
A long string of blessings flowed from his mouth. Feeling the activation of the concept power, Kei looked up at Orochimaru and Jiraiya with satisfaction.
Jiraiya, now utterly confused, pointed at himself, then at Orochimaru, utterly baffled.
Orochimaru, meanwhile, had no time to deal with Jiraiya's shock. She immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing every subtle change in her body and soul with complete focus.
"Huh? What's going on with Jiraiya and Orochimaru?" Kushina blinked her big eyes, wrapping her arms around her Kei's.
The two had suddenly started holding hands? That was weird.
"Cough, Orochimaru wanted to experience my... power, to study and analyze it."
"Then... what are they doing now?"
"Cough, most of my powers cause harm to people. This is one of the rare ones that doesn't." Kei coughed lightly, casually making up a reason.
"...Congratulations, you're going to be a dad—or maybe a mom." Tsunade, who had experienced Kei's unreasonable powers many times before, didn't need any explanation. Hearing the blessing chant and seeing their reactions, she already knew exactly what would happen.
"Me?!" Jiraiya clutched his head, clearly unable to accept this earth-shattering revelation.
Sure, Orochimaru now looked stunning, had a perfect figure, and was basically his ideal partner.
He had entertained some very sinful thoughts on occasion...
But... He wasn't ready for this!
