Kekkei Tota

After completing the mission, Ars didn't rush back to Konohagakure Village.

Whether he was present or not, with Hashirama on guard, no one dared attack Konohagakure Village.

So Ars intends to play for a week before going home.

Even on foot, he ran like a shinobi, so he arrived in a small country called the Land of Honey (Mitsu no Kuni) in just four hours of running.

"The air here smells good..."

Walking around town, he could find stalls selling honey-processed food along the way.

Since he had no shortage of money, Ars bought whatever caught his eye. Starting from honey candy, honey yogurt, honey fruit salad, etc.

"It's noon, time for lunch."

Seeing that the sun was already at its highest, Ars decided to find a restaurant.

"Welcome, what would you like to order?"

As soon as someone sat down, the waitress came up to him and asked for his order.

"What's the mainstay of the menu here?"

"Honey Grilled Chicken is a big seller in this restaurant, there are many customers who come back after tasting it once."

"I'll order that and a bottle of sake."

"Please wait."

Then the waitress went to the kitchen to tell the chef.

While waiting, Ars surveyed the restaurant. Apart from him, there were six other people who were eating.

Those people were just ordinary people, the topics they talked about weren't too far off about work, finances, family, etc. However, Ars got interested when two men who looked like farmers discussed the rumors.

The two talk about an individual from the Land of Plasma (Sho no Kuni) who can make shooting stars bombard enemies.

(Is there someone like that in the plot? It's possible, I can't judge this world based on the plot alone. This is the real world, not just an anime. If the rumors are true, that person is an expert who wasn't mentioned in the story!)

(Can call stars to attack, huh... If that's true, his Ninjutsu is stronger than Madara's Ninjutsu, [Tengai Shinsei (Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star)]. Looks like I'll have to visit the Land of Plasma after this, no harm in confirming the truth of the rumors.)

Ars ended his inner monologue when the waitress brought his food.

"Please enjoy."

Putting the food on the table, the waitress bowed and left.

"Nyam Nyam Nyam... This is better than I thought."

Ars didn't expect much at first, but after tasting the Honey Grilled Chicken, he admitted the taste of eating it was quite delicious.

Finishing his food quickly, he put the money on the table and left.

First, he bought a map at a map shop. Knowing the Land of Plasma is very far away from the Land of Honey, he decides to fly.

Ars had absolutely no intention of hiding his strength. As a result, when he flew up into the sky, people stared at him as if they had seen a god.

...

The Land of Plasma is a vast and powerful nation at the eastern tip of the Land of Lightning (Kaminari no Kuni).

Ars flew from the Land of Fire to the Land of Lightning in four hours.

In order not to cause unnecessary diplomatic trouble, he kept a low profile.

The average person in the Land of Lightning has tan skin. Ars, who had white skin as soft as a baby's, became a bit conspicuous, but no one suspected him. After all, there are other white people here.

Then Ars looked for a drinking bar, ordered sake, and sat alone, listening to people chat.

In his experience, the three best places to gather information were brothels, taverns, and restaurants.

In those three places, most people will relax, so they often accidentally talk about important information. Especially when people are drunk, they often reveal secrets so they can boast in front of others.

And the wait for Ars didn't last long. Among the patrons of the taverns, he got the information he wanted.

(Shikimi, huh. That's a name I've never heard of. Interestingly, it wasn't a false rumor after all. It seems my luck has improved quite a bit recently.)

Shaking the glass in his hand, Ars smiled faintly.

From the information Ars got, there was a young man named Shikimi who had Kekkei Tota (Bloodline Selection).

To understand what Kekkei Tota is, one must know what Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit) is.

Kekkei Genkai is a unique trait among some Shinobi Clans that allows them to use more than one element simultaneously. For example, Senju Hashirama can use Water (Suiton) and Earth (Doton) elements. He combined the two elements to create the Wood (Mokuton) element.

Meanwhile, Kekkei Tota is a further improvement from Kekkei Genkai, which gives its users the ability to use three elements at once.

As far as the Kekkei Tota user that Ars knows, it is Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage in the future, who combines the elements of Earth, Wind (Fuuton), and Fire (Katon) to become the element of Dust (Jinton).

There are many people who have Kekkei Genkai, but only one person has Kekkei Tota, which is rarer than Bijuu.

Now, Ars heard that Shikimi also has Kekkei Tota, which is the element of Star (Seiton), which is a combination of the elements of Fire, Lightning (Raiton), and Yang (Yoton).

"Shikimi is very humble, even though he is strong, he is not very well known to the world. Interesting, it looks like my next destination will be Yoshigakure Village (Village Hidden in the Protons)." Ars muttered in a low voice.

Receiving Shikimi's whereabouts, Ars hurriedly left after paying the drink bill.

...

Yoshigakure Village is a conglomerate village consisting of small villages.

The quality of life of the people living here is on par with those living in Konohagakure Village, which is rich in natural resources.

Upon arriving, Ars didn't go straight to Shikimi's place, but gathered information.

After living for more than a millennium, he is no longer the hot-blooded young man like the protagonist of a shounen manga. He is more calm and cautious, despite being confident in his strengths.

In Yoshigakure Village, Shikimi is very famous, no one doesn't know who he is.

After paying some money, Ars understood Shikimi better.

According to the people of Yoshigakure Village, Shikimi is a monster as a whole. His abilities were beyond what one would expect from someone who had never trained in the village before. Yoshigakure Village officials stated that he easily surpassed the level of a Jonin, was on par with a Kage, and probably defeated him with great ease. This is because Shikimi has it all, intelligence, abilities, and personality.

(Simply put, he's like a lite version of Hashirama and Madara. Alright, more than enough information. Time to be a thief)

Ars decided to steal the Ninjutsu that Shikimi had created.

He wasn't worried that he couldn't learn Star elemental Ninjutsu.

Idaten was a special existence that could grow in strength without limit, and there was no limit whatsoever.

Ars knew he could use all the elements without a hitch. So it's not difficult to have Kekkei Tota.

Since Shikimi was too famous, it wasn't difficult for Ars to find his residence.
