"Water Flame..."
Seeing the system prompt, the corner of Jokichi's mouth twitched.
Although the Second Hokage had many memes and nicknames, the most widely known one was the photoshopped picture of his "Water Experience Jutsu" from forum forums.
It was just that he hadn't expected its fame to be so great that the system would name an item after it.
"They all sound like items derived from memes. I hope there's something that catches my eye!"
"Forge!"
Jokichi chanted silently in his mind.
Instantly, 4 items appeared in his hands.
A transparent crystal ball the size of a large bowl; a piece of parchment with formula arrays recorded on it; an EEG helmet; and a fist-sized deep blue pearl.
[Water Flame: Holding the crystal ball, implant the method of the skill you wish to train into the ball via your mind, and you will automatically gain the training experience for that corresponding skill.]
[Ocean Contract: This is the contract paper of the ocean. After signing your name on it, you can establish a contract with the ocean.]
[Great Inventor: This is a helmet that can stimulate brain activity. Wearing it will enable you to have brilliant ideas.]
[Deep Sea Pearl: A pearl possessing the power of the deep sea. It can greatly amplify the power of Water Release ninjutsu and imbue it with the power of the deep sea. It can also be embedded in items and tools to grant them the same effect.]
After reading the system's introduction, Jokichi fell into deep thought.
Except for the effect of the Great Inventor being unclear, the other three items could be called artifacts.
Water Flame needs no explanation. With this thing...
Unless one lacked the inherent conditions to learn it, there was no skill that couldn't be learned.
Furthermore, it could be learned very quickly.
However, although this item was formidable, it was somewhat useless to Jokichi, who had already reached the realm of Creation of All Things.
After all, someone who had reached the realm of Creation of All Things could see through the reality of the world.
Learning any skill was extremely fast.
But if this thing was used to teach disciples, cultivate experts, or build a faction...
Jokichi couldn't even imagine what kind of scene that would be.
And the Ocean Contract...
This thing should be a weakened version of The Inspector. It could allow an ordinary person to instantly gain immense power while also limiting their growth ceiling.
If they could never surpass the potential of the power granted by the contract in their lifetime, then signing a contract with the ocean was a very cost-effective deal.
However, Jokichi possessed the system, and his potential was immeasurable. Naturally, he wouldn't limit his future to a single ocean.
As for the Great Inventor...
"I'll give it to someone suitable when I meet them in the future!"
Jokichi himself was not someone who loved studying, let alone inventing and creating...
That was simply asking for his life.
The final item, the Deep Sea Pearl...
This belonged to the pearl series of items, so there wasn't much to say.
Jokichi had originally planned to go to the Land of Artisans to forge a Lightning-attribute sword.
But he abandoned this plan after reaching the Six Paths level.
At the Six Paths level, unless it was an exceptionally formidable weapon or item, it was of little use to him.
If he needed a weapon, he could just use Yin-Yang Release to forge a Truth-Seeking Orb.
Throwing the items forged from the Second Hokage into the system space, Jokichi reviewed the history of system prompts.
[Ding! Discovered special material "Chakra of the Gundam Pilot," can forge special items "Damaged Sage Crystal," "Damaged Divine Tree Crystal," "Stone of Nature," "Heart of Humility," "God of Shinobi," "God-Slaying Weapon." Do you wish to forge?]
[Ding! Friendly reminder: The God-Slaying Weapon is 100 meters tall. Please select an open area when forging.]
"Holy crap, 100 meters tall!"
Jokichi couldn't help but curse. He then opened a spatial portal, arrived at an unpopulated, open area, and chose to forge.
Instantly, 5 items appeared in Jokichi's hands, while a massive steel weapon towered before him.
That massive figure blocked the sunlight, making it hard to see clearly.
Jokichi activated the Rinnegan to clearly see its full appearance.
This was a humanoid Gundam, at least 100 meters tall, colored white and blue. Two white longswords were crossed under the wings on its back, and its arms and legs were embedded with runic firearms and other weapons. It looked tall, mighty, and full of momentum.
[God-Slaying Weapon: A piloted robot possessing God-slaying power.]
The introduction was concise and clear, yet extremely domineering.
God-slaying power...
Just hearing the name made it sound like an incredibly overpowered existence.
Jokichi really wanted to get in and try it out.
But looking at the harmonious environment around him, he suppressed this thought for now.
This thing obviously originated from the meme that Hashirama was piloting a Gundam when using the True Several Thousand Hands.
A weapon forged from this meme would definitely not have less power than the True Several Thousand Hands.
If he tested its power here, even if he consciously controlled it, he would probably destroy over a tenth of the continent.
"I'll test it when I have the chance in the future!"
Jokichi stroked the God-Slaying Weapon's metal thigh for a while before reluctantly storing it in the system space.
Afterwards, he turned his attention to the remaining items.
The Damaged Sage Crystal and Damaged Divine Tree Crystal need no explanation.
One grants a Sage Body, and the other grants Wood Release and massive life energy.
Regarding these two items, Jokichi had considered keeping them for Ino.
But after careful consideration, he decided to absorb them himself.
Leaving these things for Ino would bring her a lot of trouble.
Although she wouldn't be afraid, dealing with it would definitely cause many results she wouldn't want to see.
Moreover, with him around, she didn't need that much power.
If she faced lifespan issues in the future, he could just give her a Chakra Fruit or pill then.
After absorbing these two crystals, Jokichi's strength increased significantly again.
The main contribution was that Divine Tree Crystal.
The one forged from Madara was completely incomparable to the one forged from Hashirama.
However, he was still a bit short of upgrading his visual prowess by a level.
He estimated that one more Divine Tree Crystal like this would be enough.
Otherwise, he would have to rely on training to slowly improve.
Coincidentally, there was still a Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
That thing would definitely yield an unprecedented, powerful Divine Tree Crystal.
Gathering his thoughts, Jokichi focused on the remaining three items.
The Stone of Nature needs no explanation; it had been forged from Jiraiya and the Nine-Tails before, and can automatically absorb natural energy.
This Stone of Nature was also the size of a basketball, similar to the one forged from the Nine-Tails.
And the system's prompt sounded once again.
