Chapter 22 - Conqueror’s Haki

Ding. User, do you wish to fuse Hashirama Senju's Sage Body?

A moment later, the System's mechanical voice sounded again.

"Fuse it."

Ren gave the order without hesitation.

Ding. User, please be aware: Hashirama Senju's Sage Body is now being delivered…

BOOM—!!

In the next instant—without warning—a terrifying surge flooded into Ren's body like a flash flood.

His entire body slipped into a strange state—

and in that silent, creeping way, everything began to change.

Then something even more abnormal happened.

Without Ren consciously doing anything, the canyon's natural energy began to stir, drawn by an unseen force, flowing toward him and pouring into his body.

If anyone had been here to see it—

they would've watched Ren sitting there like a vortex, his chakra swelling at a visible speed.

One minute… ten minutes… half an hour…

Finally, two full hours later, everything settled.

And as the center of it all, Ren's body completed its transformation—

fully reforged into a Sage Body.

"This… feels insanely good."

Ren slowly opened his eyes. Surprise flickered across them as he tested his body, casually throwing a punch through the air.

His physical strength had already been absurd—

but after the transformation, it climbed another tier.

And more importantly…

His old weakness had been chakra.

Now?

For the first time, he was genuinely stunned by the amount of chakra he had.

Ding… Congratulations, User. After fusing Hashirama's Sage Body, your physical power has undergone another transformation. System reward: 5% progress.

Ding… Whitebeard Template progress: 45.22% + 5.00% → 50.22% unlocked.

Ding… Whitebeard Template unlocked to 50.22%. Conqueror's Haki has been unlocked.

A rapid chain of notifications rang out.

Ren blinked—then blinked again.

He hadn't expected fusing the Sage Body to push the Whitebeard Template past the 50% threshold.

Two wins at once.

"System—fuse Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki."

Ding… User. Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki is being delivered.

HUMMM—!!

A strange pressure sank into Ren's bones before he could even react.

Then—

a monstrous, tyrannical aura erupted from him and crushed outward in every direction.

Conqueror's Haki.

Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki wasn't gentle.

Even without Ren "going all-out," the moment it leaked—

the canyon's grass and trees flattened as if a hurricane had swept through.

Only after more than ten minutes did that terrifying pressure finally fade.

"…Crazy."

Ren exhaled slowly, awe lingering on his face.

He'd gotten stronger again.

Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki might not feel as razor-edged as Shanks'—

but it was still terrifying in its own right.

"System. Show me my status panel."

Ding… generating User status panel…

Ding… status panel ready.
