Snow Country Border.
Amid a blizzard, Boro, an Inner member of the Kara Organization, had established a secret church base here to store cyborgs that were supposed to be destroyed.
Currently managing the base was one of Boro's subordinates, named Bug.
Bug, an Outer member of the Kara Organization, was over 60 years old, short, timid, and essentially lacked any special skills beyond rudimentary knowledge of biological research.
At this moment, he was drinking inside the base, completely unaware that the Kara Organization had undergone a sudden, drastic upheaval.
The supreme leader Jigen had died abruptly, Boro, his direct superior, was killed in battle, chief scientist Amado had defected, the mysterious masked man Koji had betrayed, the cyborg Delta was unconscious and restrained, Victor and Deepa along with other subordinates were dead in combat…
It could be said that nearly all Inner members of the Kara Organization were wiped out. The only one left was Code.
Of course, old man Bug knew none of this. He simply needed to manage this secret base contentedly.
*BUZZ!*
A black-red dimensional portal suddenly opened right in the living room where Bug was.
The next second, Code emerged from the portal with a cold expression.
"Code? You, why are you here?" Old man Bug was startled, slightly uneasy.
"Where are the cyborgs Boro hid instead of destroying? Take me to them!" Code got straight to the point, no nonsense.
"Huh? That's not good, is it? How did you know? And without Boro-sama's orders, I…"
*SRAK!*
Code swung one hand, a finger extending into a claw-like blade, instantly severing one of Bug's arms.
"Ahhhh…! My arm!"
Bug, bleeding profusely, knelt on the ground, clutching his wound and groaning in pain.
"If you don't want to die, lead the way. I won't say it twice."
"Alright, alright, I'll show you…"
Suppressing intense pain, Bug struggled to his feet, fear in his heart, and led Code forward.
Soon, they arrived at the deepest freezer room in the base, where the cyborgs secretly kept by Boro were frozen and hidden.
"Here they are."
Bug pointed to the freezer capsules in front of him, introducing them in agony. Code glanced at the targets inside, criticizing sharply:
"Hmph! Boro, hiding these low-grade products in secret…"
"Code-sama, what exactly do you want to do? If Boro-sama finds out, I'm done for! And Jigen-sama, these were supposed to be destroyed on his orders… Though I'm just managing, still…" Bug asked, trembling with fear.
Not just Code before him, but Boro and leader Jigen—he couldn't afford to anger any of them!
But before he could finish—
*KRAK!*
A flash of black light, and Bug's head was separated from his body, killed on the spot by Code.
The Kara Organization didn't need such trash; after seeing these hidden cyborgs, Bug had no further use.
Next, Code turned his gaze to the targets in the freezer capsules, muttering to himself:
"Cyborg Eida, inheritor of an Otsutsuki God's power. Let's hope your abilities are useful!"
Code immediately used his claws to destroy the freezer capsule's door, releasing the unconscious cyborg Eida inside.
*FZZT!*
White mist surged out, instantly filling the room. Soon, a stunning and graceful figure slowly emerged from the mist.
She had long, wavy, beautiful bluish hair, wearing a sheer white high-neck long-sleeve shirt. Her porcelain skin radiated a clear, water-like texture, every muscle imbued with forbidden beauty.
Her gem-like Byakugan eyes, a bluish-green hue, emitted a faint, captivating glow, as if one glance could ensnare someone forever. In terms of appearance and presence, she was indeed a rare beauty in the ninja world.
Eida—one of the cyborgs created by Amado using Otsutsuki God genes.
Thawed and revived, Eida merely glanced at Code and Bug's corpse outside the capsule but said nothing. Her gem-like eyes remained indifferent, as if she didn't consider Code important at all. She walked past him, moving forward alone.
"I have business with you. If you want to die, keep ignoring me and walk away."
Code warned coldly, his eyes radiating strong killing intent.
Eida paused, turning to glance at Code with a mocking, disdainful sneer:
"If you can, try it!"
Before Eida could finish, one of Code's claws pierced her chest, drawing a splash of blood.
The intense pain made Eida lose control instantly, shedding her untainted arrogance. Unable to hide her pain, she asked Code in shock:
"You, you dared to hurt me?!?!"
"Wait…"
"You're not controlled by my Charm?!?!"
Eida was stunned.
Her innate Charm ability was stronger than genjutsu. Anyone who saw Eida would be controlled by it, unconsciously falling for her, regardless of gender or strength…
Even Amado, who created her, Boro, tasked with destroying her, and all other Kara members knelt at her feet. This was why she survived, frozen, despite Jigen's order to destroy her.
In this world, only two types were immune to Eida's Charm: the Otsutsuki Clan and her blood relatives. Otherwise, her Charm was unstoppable!
In Eida's dominant, confident mindset, Code, despite his strength, should be controlled by her Charm upon meeting her, falling helplessly in love. If so, he'd never have the heart to harm her.
So, she arrogantly dared him to try, only to be slapped in the face the next second—he actually attacked her!
So decisive, so ruthless, showing no signs of being under her Charm. This was completely beyond Eida's expectations!
"If you want to die, keep trying."
Code retracted his claw. The wound wouldn't kill Eida instantly, but if she insisted on seeking death, he wouldn't hesitate to finish her.
"Impossible, you can't be immune to my Charm!"
"Unless, unless…" Clutching her chest wound, Eida muttered hysterically in disbelief.
To find answers, she activated her Divine Technique, Senrigan.
This Divine Technique, derived from an Otsutsuki God, allowed real-time observation of current scenes or past events, but not before Eida's birth or into the future.
In short, it was a super eye that could monitor the entire ninja world in real-time and held knowledge of all information from the past ten years, far surpassing even Jiraiya.
As she activated Senrigan to see what had happened to Code while she was frozen and asleep—why he was immune to her Charm—he shouldn't be immune without reason!
With Senrigan's power, Eida saw Code's recent changes and understood why he was immune to her Charm.
"You, you're not Code!"
"You, you're…" Eida pointed at Code, accusing with a shocked expression.
"Shh!"
"Don't say it. If you do, you could die!"
"Promise me, keep this secret, okay?"
The corner of Code's mouth curled slightly. He reached out, covering Eida's red lips with elegance but warned in a chilling tone.
Eida's heart trembled, her body quivering slightly.
With her Charm ability, she had full confidence facing anyone, but against this person before her, she had none. After all, he genuinely intended to kill her and had already tried once!
"What do you want to do?"
"Omnipotence—the true power from a god, the supreme Divine Technique; it can manifest anything, turning thoughts and ideas into reality. This is a power that truly creates worlds! I need to harness this power…"
Initially, when Amado learned he had granted cyborg Eida the supreme Divine Technique, Omnipotence, akin to godly privileges by grafting divine genes, Jigen was terrified and wary, fearing this uncontrollable power would destroy him or ruin his Divine Tree planting plan!
Even if Eida could only wield a fraction of Omnipotence's power and couldn't activate it consciously, it was enough to make Jigen tremble in fear. That's why he ordered Boro to destroy this batch of cyborgs…
But now, the situation had changed. Unable to defeat Six Paths Sasuke directly, he had to find ways to counter Sasuke with other powers. Eida's Omnipotence was undoubtedly the best ability to use!
"I can't control that power…"
"Don't worry, I'll help you use it!"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Eida felt fear, utterly unable to guess her opponent's intentions.
Code reached out, grabbing Eida's smooth, pale neck, showing a faint, terrifying smile:
"What do I want? Starting today, I am Konoha's Hokage!"
