Simultaneous Transmigration: We Level Up Alone Across Multiple Worlds

The following day, the Water Shadow Building meeting.

People arrived at the Water Shadow Pavilion council chamber earlier than usual.

The latest map of the Land of Water was laid out on the solid wood conference table. The outline of the new continent had been redrawn with neat ink lines, and the previous hasty charcoal sketches were completely gone.

Terumi Mei sat in the main seat.

Yuan Shi sat in the first seat to her right, wearing a dark gray kimono. Qing sat in the first seat to her left, her right eye covered by an eyepatch, her only remaining eye facing the map hanging on the wall.

The other three elders took their seats in turn.

Red Bean sat beside Hinata Dust.

He wore a standard Kirigakure Jonin vest, with the collar buttoned up tightly.

Keep your back straight, place your hands on your knees, and look straight ahead.

My posture hasn't changed since I sat down.

Mei Terumi opened the folder and pointed to the first item on the list.

"Farmland delineation. Green."

Ao stood up and channeled chakra into the map. The terrain of the New World gradually emerged in light blue lines, with ridges, valleys, and alluvial plains marked with precise values ​​for each undulation.

He drew a circle with his index finger over a narrow strip of plain along the coast.

"The soil in this alluvial plain is soft, and the area covered by freshwater streams is large enough to be prioritized for agricultural use. The slope at the foot of the mountain will be left to dry out first, and it can only be used after the roots of the trees have drained the salt from the soil."

Terumi Mei looked at Genji.

Master Yuan put down his teacup.

"Immigration will be carried out in three batches. The first batch will be moved in before spring planting, drawn from the families of retired genin registered in Kirigakure, with priority given to those with farming experience. The second batch will be added after the autumn harvest. The third batch will be released after the windbreaks grow to a height that can block typhoons."

"What about the coastal defense line?"

"The Dark Division is already conducting reconnaissance." Qing rolled up the projection and sat back down.

"The reef distribution map will be released tomorrow."

Mei Terumi closed the folder.

It took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He tapped his fingers lightly twice on the folder cover. When he spoke again, his tone softened slightly.

"There is another personnel arrangement today that needs to be finalized in public."

Master Yuan put down his teacup and lightly tapped the bottom of the cup on the table.

"With Mitarashi Anko's overall abilities, she is perfectly qualified to serve as the Mizukage's assistant."

After speaking, he picked up his teacup again and drank his tea, no longer looking at the audience.

The three elders at the table exchanged glances.

The elder on the outermost side smiled, turned his head and whispered something to his colleague beside him, who then raised his hand and lightly tapped the table.

Qing put away the map tube beside her.

The one-eyed creature lingered briefly on the red bean, then nodded slightly after a moment.

Mei Terumi took out an appointment letter stamped with the watermark from under the table and neatly pushed it in front of Anko.

The writing brush and ink were already prepared on the table.

Red Bean turned her head to look at Hinata Dust beside her.

Hinata Dust nodded slightly.

Hongdou raised her hand and picked up the pen.

The pen tip hovered above the paper for a moment before it steadily began to write.

After finishing writing, she gently put down her pen and pushed the appointment letter back to Mei Terumi with both hands.

"I am a ninja. Whatever the mission, I will do."

The sound was steady and clear, neither too high nor too low.

Master Yuan loosened his grip on the teacup slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth below the rim of the cup.

Mei Terumi picked up the appointment letter and glanced at it.

The handwriting is neat and the strokes are steady.

"Welcome to the Council of Elders, Assistant to Mitarai."

Private talk after the meeting

As everyone gradually got up and left, Hinata Chen deliberately left space for Anko.

Only Mei Terumi and Anko remained in the council chamber.

Terumi Mei did not return to her seat.

She walked to the map on the wall, leaned against it, picked up the cooled tea on the table, and took a sip.

"Master Yuan spoke with me last week."

He placed the teacup on the small tea table beside him and smiled.

Anko naturally understood the unspoken meaning: Kirigakure desperately wanted Hyuga Chen to be bound to Kirigakure, and today's appointment letter as the Mizukage's assistant was the best pledge of allegiance.

"I see."

As they walked out of the Water Shadow Pavilion, they saw Hinata Chen waiting outside, and the two walked side by side.

The morning market has closed, and street vendors are gradually setting up their evening food stalls.

Young ninjas who had just returned from their rotation in the New World gathered on the street to buy rice balls.

Red Bean walked beside Hinata Dust.

The scroll containing the appointment certificate sat quietly in the ninja tool bag, next to the kunai, heavy with weight.

After walking for most of the street, I still couldn't help but speak up.

"You didn't tell me this morning that it was a personnel appointment by the elders."

Hinata Chen turned his head to look at her, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"There's no need for that, it's not worth your worrying."

In a fit of pique, Hongdou turned her head to look at the seafood vendors by the roadside.

Back to the residence.

In the distance, on the shore of the New World, the torches of the exploration team flickered in the deep night.

Hongdou leaned against a pillar, her arms crossed and resting on her knees.

"During today's meeting, everyone was nodding in agreement; not a single person hesitated."

She gazed at the yellow leaves swaying on the branches in the yard.

"They're not looking at me... they're looking at you. It's about the two of us being tied together."

Clench your fists slightly.

"But when I sat in that seat, I suddenly felt... this place is pretty good. This could be where we start our lives."

Hinata Chen leaned against the other pillar, listening quietly.

He raised his hand, his fingertips threading through her hair, cupping the back of her head, and gently resting it on his shoulder.

"Your feelings are the most important thing. Otherwise, you can go to Kumogakure or Sunagakure, or at the very least, put in some effort to build one yourself."

The red bean bowed its head accordingly.

Her forehead rested against his shoulder, her eyelashes brushing against his collar.

A muffled sound came from his collarbone.

"dust……"

"Um?"

"..."

Hinata Chen's hand slowly slid from the back of her head to her back, hugging her tighter, his chin resting on the top of her head.

Moonlight fell on the treetops, and a few yellowed leaves were blown down by the wind, gently floating to the ground.

……

……

Gray mist rose from the depths of his consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a transparent floor beneath my feet, and an abyss opened up below, with a few golden lines occasionally flashing in the pitch-black depths.

The Milky Way's arm, suspended in the starry dome, stretches overhead. Starlight filters through the thin layer of gray mist, scattering across the round table and casting faint reflections on the transparent floor.

Dragon Clan members Chen Chen and Tian Zechen lay neatly sprawled on the sofa, their heads sinking into the velvet backrest.

comfortable……

Chen Chen was sitting on a materialized futon, receiving the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique from Tian Zechen.

The mortal Chen Chen also sat cross-legged on a futon at the edge of the abyss, the gray-white hairs on his ears spreading upwards from his temples.

Hinata Chen leaned against the round table with his arms crossed, the diamond-shaped mark between his brows glowing with a golden halo in the gray mist. Ethan Chen sat in a chair, white wings drooping from the sides of the chair back.

The enigmatic Chen Chen walked to the round table and sat down, dressed in a dark suit, with a freshly brewed cup of coffee in front of him.

A crack appeared in the gray fog.

A person fell out.

Knees landed first, one hand braced against the transparent floor, the stitching on the dark blue short-sleeved shirt was crooked.

He raised his head.

Looking at each one, I saw seven faces that looked exactly like mine.

There was a moment of silence in the gray fog.

The memories began to synchronize, and the headache was no longer a problem for Re0 Chen Chen. He completed the reception of the memories in an instant.

Re0 Chen Chen, also known as Isaac Chen, began by explaining his world.

"Um... Hello everyone. I just received news that all the male members of the Lugnica royal family have passed away, and the royal selection process hasn't even started yet."

"I don't know yet if the return from death will erase my memories. I don't have the witch factor, and I'm not bound to any powers. So I've prepared for both scenarios: on one hand, I'll live like a normal person, and on the other hand, if my memories are erased, at least my life won't be too bad."
