Chapter 19: Gaia's Power and Future Plans

After Gaia's transformation and the revelation of her new body, Yuto couldn't help but feel curious about her sudden boost in power. He turned to Gaia, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Gaia, I noticed your level has reached ##### Lord... Can you explain what that means?"

Gaia smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling like distant galaxies. "Yuto, this world is not yet strong enough to comprehend my true power. The system has suppressed my full level for now. If you want to unlock my true potential, you must grow stronger. The more powerful you become, the more my abilities will be revealed." She smiled gently. "If I unleashed my true strength, it could disrupt the balance of this world. The system is protecting us by keeping it in check."

Yuto absorbed her words, realizing that Gaia's potential was far beyond what he could currently handle. He trusted her judgment and decided not to press further.

After their conversation, Yuto decided to focus on the tasks at hand. There were still many small duties to take care of within the dimensional base. The Yutos and their team moved efficiently through their responsibilities—organizing the archives, fine-tuning the new villas within the dimension for each specialized Yuto, and preparing training rooms for future exercises. Architect Yuto, with his keen eye, had designed the perfect space for their needs.

In the lab, Gene Yuto worked tirelessly, managing the new recruits who had once served Isshiki Otsutsuki, ensuring their loyalty remained firm. Meanwhile, Doctor Yuto and Professor Yuto organized the new medical center within the dimension, preparing it for any future needs.

Using ninjutsu and Architect Yuto's designs, they finally completed the library, placing the vast collection of books in perfect order. It was a small victory but an important one.

Once these smaller tasks were complete, Yuto gathered everyone for a meeting and turned to Architect Yuto with a new directive. "We need to plan for creating a guild and malls. Design a massive mall that represents the five major countries and a smaller version for the smaller nations."

Architect Yuto nodded, already sketching blueprints in his mind. "Understood. For the guild, we'll keep the original structure as planned—it will be our core operations hub."

"But for the malls," Yuto continued, "I want something grand. For the major countries, create a 20-floor mall with each floor dedicated to different services and facilities. Cater to the specific needs of each nation. The top floors should be exclusive, with luxury services for the elites."

Architect Yuto's mind raced with ideas. "It will be more than a shopping mall," he said thoughtfully. "It will be a symbol of unity and power—a testament to our influence."

"And for the smaller countries," Yuto added, "we'll create a 12-floor mall. Not as grand, but still impressive. Make sure it meets the practical needs and cultural tastes of each smaller region."

"Understood," Architect Yuto replied. "Each mall will have its own identity, reflecting the culture of the country, but all will bear the mark of our organization."

Yuto then added, "But we must remain anonymous in all of this. Our connection must never be discovered. We'll pose as simple merchants joining the mall projects for a share of the profits. No one can know our true involvement."

Architect Yuto agreed, "Once the plans are ready, we can begin construction. These malls will secure our influence without drawing attention."

Just as Architect Yuto was about to begin working, Jenny interrupted with a concern. "We're only four years old," she reminded them. "Will anyone believe that children this young could come up with such ideas? Even if we control the daimyo and their ministers, we don't have influence over the workers. We can't go out there as children."

Ninju Yuto chimed in, "Transformation jutsu won't work. It can be easily detected. We need something else."

Gene Yuto thought for a moment. "You're right. I, along with Military Yuto, Engineer Yuto, Professor Yuto, and Doctor Yuto, don't need to leave the dimensional villa for now. But CEO Yuto and Architect Yuto will. They should use the body modification technique. It'll change their bone density, height, weight, and appearance. Jenny doesn't want us to miss our physical growth, so this way, we won't."

Gene Yuto added, "Ninju and Tiju Yuto, you should already modify your bodies to adult forms using the body modification technique. Train in your new bodies and let them adapt to the changes."

CEO Yuto nodded and issued one final order to Architect Yuto. "When the time comes, create an underground base. It needs to be comfortable and well-hidden, but for now, focus on the mall and guild projects."

Architect Yuto agreed, "I'll build the underground base during the war. That's when no one will be paying attention to us."

CEO Yuto smiled. "Good. Now, let's post tasks for the ninjas to help us build the mall and guild using their ninjutsu. Have the daimyo introduce us to their hidden villages, but remember—stay anonymous. You're just an architect."

Architect Yuto gave a nod of understanding.

Finally, Gene Yuto made one more request. "I need blood samples from the different clans. I want to create our own clans with gene modification technology. We'll use orphans as the base."

CEO Yuto thought for a moment and then turned to Ninju and Tiju Yuto. "Go on missions and target the bloodline clans—Hyuga, Uchiha, and others. Have the daimyo send missions that will involve those clans so we can obtain their bloodline samples."

With that, Ninju and Tiju Yuto, disguised as actors from Yuto's past life, set off on their new mission—hunting down the bloodline clans for the future of their empire.
