35 - Fast Growth

After talking with her parents, Kushina became very excited, to the point where she couldn't calm down.

With not much else to do, she continued to use the Light Web, as there were still a few minutes left before sunset.

Seeing how many people were chatting on the Light Forum, she decided to check out the main tab.

Seeing so many people commenting on the gossip they heard during the day, Kushina had to control herself not to laugh out loud a few times.

Especially when she read the story of a man who was worried because he discovered a young man of 18 who came every day hiding at night to find his daughter, and the day he went to try to fight with the young man, the young man was a Jonin and hit the man back, as the man was just a Chunin.

Fortunately the man's daughter got mad at her boyfriend for hitting her father and hit him even harder.

Still angry, she dragged the two injured men to the church and left them on the floor waiting for the priest to heal them the next day, where the two had to hug each other due to the cold of the night.

When Kushina saw the picture of the two injured men hugging each other on the ground in front of the church she couldn't control herself and laughed out loud.

Mito was curious about Kushina's reaction and when she asked her why, Kushina told her the whole story, making even Mito amused.

But there is something that attracted Mito's attention even more in this, the fact that there was a priest who could heal injured people!

In the [Temple of Light] section of the Light Forum, Mito discovered that Light Ring users could receive Light Points by being good people, helping others and getting more believers for the God of Light, and some people even managed to gather 20 Light Points, which were enough to receive Blessing of Light Level 1, which unlocked healing power for them just like the priest!

Of course, only 2 people had unlocked Blessing of Light Level 1 as well as the Priest, but that was enough to show that this was possible for anyone!

Seeing this the first thing Mito thought of was Tsunade, who was obsessed with learning Medical Ninjutsu.

"Perhaps this would be a good subject for her to study?" Mito wondered curiously, but decided not to tell Tsunade yet, as Tsunade was Hiruzen's disciple.

Hiruzen was the Third Hokage who, knowing the situation Uzushiogakure was facing, didn't want to help.

That's why Mito decided to hide it from Hiruzen for a while, in addition to instructing Kushina to also hide it from other people, only using the Light Web when he was next to her.

Apollo saw that Mito intended to hide this from Hiruzen for the time being and just shook his head, as much as he wanted to expand the Light Web to Konoha he understood that his production was still not enough to handle the demand that Konoha had, so it was something good not to get in touch with it for now.

"I better focus on helping the Uzumaki deal with the crisis and maybe start spreading the Light Rings in some small villages around the world." Apollo thought.

The population of Uzushiogakure was only a few thousand people, so in a few months Apollo would already take over the entire market in that country, so it would be a good idea to start going to other places as well.

"Not only small towns, I can also focus on big cities, like the capitals of each country!" Apollo had a good idea.

If he managed to open churches in the capitals of each country, he wouldn't need much effort to dominate this world.

"Especially if I conquer the Daimyos…" Apollo thought excitedly.

So, another two weeks passed, and the day arrived when the new shipment of Light Rings became available.

With the 150 Light Rings available today, in addition to the 82 Light Rings that already existed, Apollo now had a total of 232 believers wearing Light Rings, which provided him with 2,900 God Power Points.

"The snowball is growing." Apollo thought excitedly when he felt the Divine Power entering his body every second.

To him, those 232 Light Rings might seem like a small amount compared to the population of millions of people in the Ninja world, but to the Uzumaki family, those 200+ Light Rings represented almost 10% of the Village's total population, and how they had more than 150 Light Rings among the Anbu, which was the village's main fighting force, Shoichi was very excited upon hearing the ninjas' progress report.

"Finally, the tests have proven an improvement of 470% in the combat power of the Anbu so far, considering that there are less than 30 days left until the War, I believe that we will be able to increase this number to 1,000% increase in the combat power, increasing thus our chance of winning this war to a considerable level." Uzumaki Akira finished reporting what happened at Anbu recently.

Hearing this, the elders were full of smiles, but Shoichi still had a neutral expression on his face.

"Tell me Akira, even though we won the war, what will our loss be in your calculations?" Shoichi asked seriously.

Akira was a little embarrassed, but still responded. "I'd say only 10% of the Anbu will survive, and maybe 70% of the civilians will, considering the healing Level 1 Blessed with Light could provide."

Hearing this, despair returned to the faces of the other elders, as they knew that if 90% of Anbu died, the other villages would only need one more attack to finish destroying their family.

Shoichi remained calm as he thought.

He had already envisioned this outcome, as this would be a tough war between the Uzumaki family and the other 5 Ninja Villages.

When the elders were getting desperate with no ideas of what they could do to defend the family, the Grand Elder let out a scream that startled everyone.

"I rose to Level 2!"
