As soon as Mitsusuke entered the casino, Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news.
There was no other way; Jiraiya was too famous in Konoha, and his appearance couldn't escape the Anbu's eyes.
Upon hearing the Anbu say that Jiraiya had entered a casino, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew it was Mitsusuke in disguise.
If it were really Jiraiya, the first place he'd go would definitely be the women's bathhouse. Plus, he had just sent Kakashi to call Mitsusuke, only to find that the guy wasn't there.
Analyzing the two events together, it became clear who was inside the casino.
Just as Mitsusuke was winning big, the White-Haired Kakashi appeared behind him: "Mitsusuke, Hokage-sama wants to see you, immediately."
Knowing he couldn't continue gambling, Mitsusuke grabbed his winnings and ran out. If he didn't run now, he'd be caught by the casino staff.
When the casino staff heard Kakashi call Jiraiya 'Mitsusuke,' they started to gather around.
Outside the casino, Mitsusuke reluctantly returned the money to the casino staff before following Kakashi towards the Hokage Building.
He had no choice but to return it! The casino's rule was that people on the blacklist, no matter how much they won, couldn't take the money.
This was only in Konoha; otherwise, Mitsusuke would have long since erupted. Why couldn't he gamble? He just caused a few casinos to go bankrupt! What's the big deal?
On the way, Mitsusuke complained unhappily, "Kakashi, couldn't you have come a little later? I was about to stop. And do you really need to keep following me? It's not like I'm not going."
"Hokage-sama ordered me to keep an eye on you, afraid you'd cause trouble again on the way. After all, you have a record."
"Tsk, isn't it just walking a bit slower? What's the big deal? The Hokage isn't dying, so why the rush?"
The two leisurely arrived at the Hokage Office, where Hiruzen Sarutobi was, as usual, handling documents.
Seeing Mitsusuke slowly enter, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't get angry. He put down his pen and casually pulled out a box of cigarettes from a drawer, tossing them to Mitsusuke.
"Smoke them! I got these from Asuma; he said you like this brand."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions left Mitsusuke a bit confused. He thought he was called over because he had impersonated Jiraiya!
But looking at the current situation, it was clearly not about that.
Somewhat nervously, Mitsusuke lit a cigarette for himself and remained silent, wanting to see what Hiruzen Sarutobi was planning.
After Mitsusuke took two puffs, he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi ask, "What is your Bloodline Limit ability? Show it to me."
Mitsusuke's hand paused slightly. He hadn't expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to know about this.
But he quickly realized that Uchiha Itachi must have told Hiruzen Sarutobi about him.
Mitsusuke wasn't actually afraid of Hiruzen Sarutobi knowing about the Glint-Glint Fruit; he had only kept it a secret before because he was afraid it would interfere with his slacking off.
Compared to other transmigrators, Mitsusuke was quite lucky; he didn't have to worry about Danzo coveting him.
Having understood the whole situation, Mitsusuke extended a finger, from which dazzling light emanated.
"I call my ability Light Release. I can fire powerful Laser beams and also increase my speed. As for other abilities, they are currently still under development. These are the known facts."
Withdrawing his ability, Mitsusuke continued, "This ability awakened about two years ago. To avoid trouble, I didn't tell you, mainly because I was afraid you wouldn't let me continue slacking off... teaching."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Mitsusuke a Byakugan, thinking, 'You've already told the truth, and you still have the nerve to mention teaching?' but he didn't say it out loud.
"Since you say it's very powerful, then demonstrate it for me! I need to evaluate your ability to arrange your future work. Since you've awakened a powerful ability, don't waste it."
Hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to reassign his work, Mitsusuke's heart sank. His greatest fear had come true.
"Hokage-sama, I..."
"Call me Old Man; it sounds more intimate. And didn't you always call me that when you were with Asuma?"
"Uh... alright, Old Man," Mitsusuke followed suit, "The power of this ability of mine is a bit great. Are you sure you want me to demonstrate it here? I'm afraid that after I demonstrate it, your Hokage Building will have to be rebuilt."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a bit surprised. He just wanted Mitsusuke to demonstrate his ability, but he hadn't expected the other party to say the Hokage Building would need to be rebuilt. If that were the case, how strong must this ability be?
After some thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and walked out of the office door: "Follow me, we're going to the training ground."
Since his ability was exposed, Mitsusuke no longer intended to hide it. He openly followed behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The two arrived at the Anbu's exclusive training ground. Hiruzen Sarutobi completely cleared the entire training ground, and everyone was driven out.
Mitsusuke's ability was a Bloodline Limit that had never appeared before. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to expose it too early. This was also a common practice in various Villages, to hide their own geniuses.
After the Anbu Personnel had all left, Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to several training wooden stakes in the distance and said, "Begin!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!
A Laser beam condensed on Mitsusuke's finger. With a buzzing sound, a scorching ray of light, carrying a destructive aura, shot straight from his finger.
After the Laser beam left his finger, it seemed to break free from some kind of shackles, rushing towards the distant wooden stakes at an extremely fast speed.
In just the blink of an eye, a huge explosion sounded, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi felt the ground shake.
Looking at the explosion in the distance, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart was filled with shock beyond words. He had tried his best to guess, but he still underestimated the power of Mitsusuke's Bloodline Limit. A Tailed Beast Ball would probably have similar power!
The explosion was too loud, coupled with the fire, many people thought the Hokage Building had been attacked, and many clan Ninja rushed towards the Hokage Building at top speed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi probably realized that things had gotten a bit out of hand. He immediately ordered the Anbu Personnel responsible for protecting him, "Quickly organize people to put out the fire, and then tell the arriving Ninja that a box of exploding tags exploded, causing no casualties, to quickly reduce the villagers' panic."
It has to be said, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind was exceptionally clear at this moment, and he commanded with ease.
After arranging everything, Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Mitsusuke, "You come with me."
At the same time, he warned the Anbu Personnel who had witnessed the explosion, "No one is allowed to reveal what happened just now to outsiders, otherwise, they will be punished for treason."
