New Abilities...

After being pushed back by the light, no one could understand what was happening inside that light cocoon, but after hearing Akira's scream, they realized it was not anything good.

So Hana and Haru tried various ways to reach Akira, but having failed, they reached for Grandpa Kurai's help, who was also not able to bypass the cocoon to reach Akira.

Without any way out, they decided to wait till the cocoon dispersed or Akira voluntarily came out.

After nearly an hour in the ceremony hall Hana, with tears in her eyes, hugged Haru with her back towards the cocoon; many of the clan members closer to Akira were wearing haggard expressions on their faces, only one thought in their minds 'will he be alright'; It had been nearly 10 minutes, Akira had stopped screaming but the cocoon had yet to disperse.

After what seemed like a million years, the cocoon dispersed and Akira started falling to the ground. Grandpa Shiba along with Hana and Haru ran toward Akira, but Grandpa Shiba being the quickest, caught him in mid-air and brought him to the ground.

Seeing Akira's condition, all became confused as although Akira's clothes were burnt, he remained unharmed in any way; not a single scratch was present on his body, except his hair became white and he became a bit taller. After all those screaming, they all thought he might have lost an eye or surely suffered bodily harm. But seeing him better than ever, they felt the screaming was for nothing.

Grandpa Kurai covered him with a piece of cloth and laid him on the nearby table, and began checking his body using the light chakra.

Mom came near the table biting her lips and, taking a deep breath asked Kurai," Dad, what happened to my Akira? Will he be okay? When will he wake up?"

"His body currently has no problem and he doesn't seem to be in any pain but we have to keep him in observation for a few hours," replied Kurai, while inwardly he was flabbergasted about how Akira's cells were changing and mutating by itself by every second, which in turn is making his body stronger by every minute. Though he didn't know, how this could be possible as his body would grow stronger and stronger as time passed, and Kurai didn't know how strong his body could grow, what would be its upper limit. He also understood that Akira would have incredible regeneration and that it would be extremely hard to kill him, which would be good for him as his whole body would be a perfect test subject for many greedy bastards.

He also understood his grandson might touch the impossible range of light speed without harming his body.

"Move Akira to my room and I am giving a gag order to everyone present here, Hana and Haru, you two take care of Akira till I come, and stay vigilant. Oh. ! The rest of the awakening will be happening tomorrow, so everyone can go to their homes." said my grandpa as he went toward the ancestral hall.

Midnight, Grandpa's room.

Akira saw himself floating in the middle of the same void he had stayed in before rebirth. He saw a giant white figure trying to eat him; he tried running but remained stationary. He shouted for help until he was eaten whole by the entity.

Bang! Like a heavy thud, his senses returned to his body.

Gradually, Akira's eyelids started to flutter open; he squinted in an attempt to sharpen the blurred images before him. He glanced around and took in the simple concrete room without any colored walls; The room had a bed, a table which contained some food, and two chairs; Beside the bed stood a cupboard full of books; This looked like an old man's room. But why was I here?

I shut my eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all hits me with a bang. The memory of it all starts to occupy my thoughts.

My body was emitting light during the affinity test and it burned every muscle in my body, seeing my body now I think it recreated my body.

I slowly tried to get up, but my body felt sore all over and my head felt heavy. I instantly fell back onto the bed. My body was engulfed in pain as if objecting to my decision to stand up.

Feeling my movement in the room, my mom and dad ran back to the room along with my grandpa.

My mother held my hand, and fired, " Akira, how are you feeling? Are you feeling pain anywhere?---- "

My father looked at my helpless face and said " Hana, how about you let him answer your question one by one."

"What! Is asking about our child's health bad? From what have I seen you didn't even cry when you saw Akira. Do you even love my Akira? " growled sarcastically Hana.

Seeing if left unstopped in the open, this could turn into a massacre, my Grandpa said " Hana how about letting Akira get some rest"

"Sleep tight Akira, we will talk in the morning, But before sleeping eat some food," said my Grandpa before escorting the two fighting couples.

Seeing that I had saved myself for the time being from the questions, I grew relaxed and my thoughts started going toward the new information present in my brain...

"Goodnight Akira " " Goodnight son" peeked my Mom and Dad from the corner of the room before bolting after my grandfather.

Ha... Ha... This is the reason I mainly strive to become stronger despite all obstacles.

As I was thinking, about the information, I realized that light gave me various powers. It made my body cells mutate and gave me a marine's body; it also gave me more information about all the Haki (just information on how to practice), and finally, it gave me the methodical process of turning all my muscles into pink muscles.

Getting this information, my heart leaped up in joy; I could barely conceal my delight that at last, I had received my gift from God or any being; I had no words for the gratitude I felt for that being as I thought maybe, now I can hold against such being. I mean, I got some good boons, as I know in One Piece World people can destroy a whole island with just physical strength which will be fantastic in Naruto world as here less focus was given toward physical strength. Also, the pink muscles' converting methodical process is good, but the main reason it was the best was that I could share it with the clan, which I think may cure some of the clan's problems. But the best was The Haki's information, though I don't know if I share this information.

But I know one thing I know my dream of becoming OP might get fulfilled now...
