Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 166 Aptitude Above the Six Paths, the Miracle of the Otsutsuki Clan
At this time, Izayoi's situation on the moon was not good.

Chakra prayer beads are ultimately not Truth-Seeking Balls, and the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion transformed from them can still be absorbed by the Preta Path.

The attack that just hit Earth from the moon consumed most of Izayoi's chakra.

Since copying Toneri Otsutsuki's Otsutsuki bloodline (red) and gaining the Chaton La body, this is the first time Izayoi has experienced the feeling of almost being exhausted by a single move.

However, this move is also very effective.

While Izayoi was still catching her breath in the air, trying to calm herself down, several beams of light flew in front of her, one red and several purple.

Seeing this, Izayoi was slightly taken aback.

Then, using the Tenseigan's farsightedness and X-ray vision, he projected his gaze directly from the moon to the earth, staring at the hole where Uchiha Madara lay.

Seeing that Madara Uchiha was not dead, and that he only suffered internal injuries without any external wounds, Izayoi wondered in surprise, "What happened? He's not dead, nor is he unconscious, and he even has a huge amount of chakra. He could easily come back to the moon and start a second round. Why did the system determine that he was defeated?"

Staring at Madara Uchiha's bewildered expression, Izayoi couldn't help but analyze in his mind: "Could it be that losing the will to fight or the will to battle is also a form of defeat?"

Besides this explanation, Izayoi couldn't think of any other possible way to ship the goods.

Unless the enemy is far away, the system will automatically determine that he has lost.

If such a trivial possibility were truly possible, Izayoi wouldn't have taken so long to accumulate enough points to upgrade her entries.

"Ding! You have acquired the talent attribute [Six Paths Aptitude (Red)], which overlaps with your own talent attribute. Merge or decompose?"

"Ding……"

Several system notification sounds rang in his mind, pulling Izayoi back to reality.

As if she had thought of something, Izayoi did not make a choice immediately. Instead, she brought up her personal panel, first glanced at the two entries: Otsutsuki Bloodline (color) and Bloodline Limit: Tenseigan (color), and then her gaze fell on the entry for Six Paths Aptitude (red).

The first notification sound made Izayoi realize something very important.

Both Tenseigan and Rinnegan are colored entries.

However, both of these abilities are merely introductory levels to the Six Paths level.

Without mastering the Truth-Seeking Balls and the Sage Mode of Six Paths, or becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, even a Six Paths-level powerhouse would find it somewhat difficult to defeat an ultimate Kage like Hashirama Senju.

As for Hashirama Senju, even if Izayoi had never seen him at his peak, he could guess that his highest talent was only the Sage Body (Red).

Only with the body of a sage (red) and the eyes of a sage (red) can the bloodline limit, Rinnegan (color), be born.

The fact that it's the Rinnegan, a bloodline limit, is already a highlighted entry.

Without a doubt, the Bloodline Limit, formed by the fusion of seven nature transformations, must also be a colored entry.

To be precise, colored entries start at level six.

So... if Six Paths Aptitude can allow a person's potential to reach the Six Paths level, or to possess Six Paths level combat power, then why is this entry only a red entry?
The red text indicates that it can still be upgraded.

If the Six Paths aptitude can be upgraded, then what aptitude is above the Six Paths?
Throughout the original work, and even in Boruto, the pure-blooded Otsutsuki who appeared, their strength remained at the Six Paths level.

The only one who transcends the Six Paths is the Otsutsuki God who seems to have transcended this world... Otsutsuki Shibakai.

Could it be that having aptitude above the Six Paths level is the kind of aptitude that allows one to transcend this world?
Suddenly, a current of electricity flowed from Izayoi's brain to his tailbone, and then quickly spread throughout his body, raising goosebumps.

"Damn it, I've suffered because I'm uneducated!" Izayoi cursed inwardly.

Izayoi has always focused on the Otsutsuki bloodline, believing that this is the foundation.

And this is indeed the case.

Without the Otsutsuki bloodline, Izayoi at that age would never have this level of strength.

Many entries are even secondary entries related to the Otsutsuki lineage.

Including the term "qualification"!

As a result, Izayoi overlooked the term "aptitude".

Anyone who refines chakra will unlock the aptitude attribute.

The lowest rank is Genin, and the highest rank currently is Six Paths aptitude (Red).

Before Izayoi used the newbie gift pack, his only attribute was Chunin aptitude (green).

After the cheat code was activated, this entry was upgraded along with Izayoi to the Six Paths Aptitude (Red).

Izayoi originally thought that this entry was the most useless red entry, just a kind of strength certification.

In retrospect, that was a huge mistake.

Aptitude refers to innate qualities and talents.

This entry, which everyone who extracts chakra possesses, is not only the most unique entry but also the entry that best represents the talent entry system.

This is an entry that visualizes the upper limit of potential.

Talent attributes that are not materialized by the system cannot be improved through cheating; they can only be discovered and realized step by step, such as the space-time talent that the Otsutsuki clan possesses.

Talents that are materialized into terms can be upgraded through term fusion and points.

Izayoi's current aptitude is Six Paths. If she doesn't defy fate, then the upper limit of her potential is Six Paths.

No matter how hard he tries, his limit can only be the level of the Six Paths.

The Otsutsuki bloodline (color) is an entry that can help him defy fate.

However, to defy fate, just like the fetal movement of the Tenseigan, requires a very long time.

Since defying fate can enhance one's aptitude, conversely, would upgrading one's aptitude level first accelerate the process of defying fate?

Upgrading one's qualifications means that one's potential has broken through the limits and reached a new upper limit. The speed at which one can defy fate should be like having a speed boost.

The more Izayoi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

He only truly entered his growth period after his birthday. Even if he wanted to awaken the abilities that come with the Otsutsuki bloodline (color), which are just secondary attributes, he didn't know how long it would take.

If his potential ceiling is increased, perhaps the speed at which he unlocks secondary attributes will be as fast as that of the Tenseigan.

With that in mind, Izayoi immediately made a decision: her next goal would be to upgrade her Six Paths Aptitude (Red) to the Color level.

At the same time, Izayoi became conflicted again.

Should we integrate the red entry for Uchiha Madara, or break it down into integrals?
When she was a child, Izayoi conducted an experiment: merging with the same entry would not immediately upgrade the level.

Because upgrading through points is cheating, the points required for upgrading merged entries will not decrease.

Although Izayoi had never fused with a red-level affix, she had a feeling that it should only take fusing two or three of these advanced affixes to upgrade it.

On the other hand, analyzing the red entries yields a random six-figure score.

If you're extremely unlucky, you might need to break down nine red-level terms to accumulate 990,000 points.

If you're extremely lucky, you might get over 900,000 points in one go, and upgrade a red keyword to a colored keyword at a 1:1 ratio.

To gamble or not to gamble?
Izayoi hesitated for only a few seconds before making her decision, thinking to herself, "Decompose them all."

In the next instant, the score column, which had only four digits, suddenly jumped to six digits, displaying... [672810].

"Nice!" Izayoi couldn't help but clench her fist and shout in her heart.

The gambler won!

Although I didn't get it all at once, I only have a little over 300,000 points left.

Once a year has passed, he can easily accumulate 990,000 points by casually taking down the five major ninja villages.

If we're lucky, we might get another red item from Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata.

Overjoyed, Izayoi immediately flew back into the artificial sun, preparing to return to Earth with the giant Tenseigan.

Just as they embarked on their return journey, Izayoi stopped, turned around, and looked at the moon, which had been cut off by a third. A look of shock flashed in her eyes as she said, "Such strong gravity, and... it even has a built-in lock-on feature!"

The moon, which had separated from the main body by one-third, was slowly moving back towards it.

They didn't drift there on their own; they were pulled there by gravity.

More importantly, this gravitational pull only applies to that part of the moon; even if someone flies through the crack, they will not be affected by the gravitational pull.

What truly shocked Izayoi was that even after a thousand years, Rokudo Chibaku Tensei could still generate such terrifying gravity.

Is this the true power of the Six Paths?
It seems that the gap between myself and those brothers is not simply a matter of Truth-Seeking Balls and Six Paths Sage Mode.

However, Izayoi quickly seemed to realize something and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at the universe radiating white light, Izayoi murmured to himself, "So that seal can absorb the power of the sun to replenish its energy. No wonder Kaguya Otsutsuki has been unable to break free of the seal even after a thousand years."

After realizing he had scared himself, Izayoi sped up and flew back to Earth.

However, Izayoi failed to notice that as he left the moon, in the cemetery of that abandoned city, a soul, like a death god sealed by a corpse demon, invisible to ordinary people, was watching him with a pair of white eyes. This person wore a white robe with six black magatama-shaped patterns on the chest, a red vortex symbol on the back, and nine black spheres floating around him.

The whites of his eyes and pupils are pure white, and he has two white horns on his forehead.

This person was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki's second son. He was born with Kaguya's Byakugan, which was of astonishing purity. With only his bloodline and talent, he awakened the Tenseigan and condensed the Truth-Seeking Ball, becoming Hagoromo Otsutsuki, a Six Paths level powerhouse.

"Incredible..."

Watching Izayoi fly away from the moon at high speed, Hamura Ōtsutsuki murmured, "Wood Release containing the characteristics of the Divine Tree, my brother's eye power and physique, my eyes, and the bloodline of horned ancestor... A thousand years later, the ninja world actually has a descendant who combines the advantages of my brother and me. This is simply... a miracle of the Ōtsutsuki clan!"

Looking at the moon, which had been cut off by a third of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Ōtsutsuki Hamura couldn't help but twitch his lips again and said, "Young people are just so hot-tempered. Fortunately, the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei that sealed my mother can't be unsealed without my brother's and my hand seals. Even though the moon is cut off, it will continue to attract meteorites to repair itself. Otherwise, this descendant would have caused a great disaster."

After glancing at the cemetery filled with tombstones one last time, Ōtsutsuki Hamura sighed, "Alas... it's all my fault for not explaining things clearly, which led you to misinterpret my last words. I never imagined that the division of the family would become so extreme."

"The dead should not interfere in the world of the living; it is all predestined. I hope that this boy who inherits the power of me and my brother can do things that neither my brother nor I could."

As these words fell, Otsutsuki Hamura's soul vanished.

The chakra that remained in the cemetery also completely dissipated from this world.

……

Konoha, the village of ninjas.

Izayoi's wooden clone also finished the meeting and returned home.

Inside the traditional building with the raised barrier, the wooden clone received the information from the main body and immediately disappeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The next second, Izayoi, in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, returned home.

Upon seeing Izayoi's return, Hinata and her two friends immediately surrounded her.

"Onii-chan, you're back!"

"Izayoi-kun, are you alright?"

"Izayoi-kun, were you fighting someone on the moon just now?"

Looking at the three women with concerned eyes, Izayoi deactivated the Tenseigan chakra mode and smiled, "Sorry to have worried you. It's all over now."

Hinata and the other two girls breathed a sigh of relief.

Hanabi asked excitedly, "Onii-chan, did you just cut the moon in half?"

"Yeah, isn't he handsome?" Izayoi smiled and ruffled Hanabi's hair.

"Mmm...So cool."

The three girls nodded in unison, their beautiful eyes sparkling, making no attempt to hide their admiration for Izayoi.

"Would you like to know more about the process?" Izayoi asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh……"

Looking at the three girls nodding like chicks pecking at rice, Izayoi shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be in pain, saying, "Fighting the enemy for so long and then going back and forth to the moon, my shoulders are so sore..."

"Onii-chan, let me give you a massage."

"Izayoi-kun, your chakra has decreased a lot. How about you take a bite of me?"

"Izayoi-kun, I'll go get you some clothes, let's go soak in a hot spring."

The three girls, Hanabi, very tactfully pushed Izayoi towards the hot spring.

Izayoi, pushing her luck, said, "I want to see Pikachu, eat peeled grapes, and drink sake."

"Hehe... Is just looking at Pikachu enough? Onii-chan, don't think that Karin and I don't know what you and Karin were doing in the hot spring when you were taking a bath? Ouch... That hurts!"

"Hanabi, if you dare to use your Byakugan to peep again, I'll personally train you," Hinata said, her face flushed.

"Karin-neechan did it too!"

"Hehe... I'm older than you, it's none of my business," Karin said with a smug smile.

"Flat-chested woman".

"What did you say?" Karin instantly flew into a rage, her defenses crumbling as she said, "I haven't grown up yet, and you're just like me."

"When I'm the same age as Karin, I'll definitely be older than you." Hanabi pointed at Hinata's large G-cup, raised her chin, and said, "Your genes are right here, so I'll definitely not be any worse than you."

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" Karin was speechless and finally broke down and pounced on Hanabi.

With the atmosphere created by the group, the four of them went to the hot spring pool for a bath.

While drinking sake and eating grapes peeled by his wife, Izayoi recounted in detail his battle with Uchiha Madara.

Upon hearing that Izayoi had "returned home," Madara Uchiha happened to find a spatial portal and arrive on the moon. The two even engaged in battle, causing Hinata and the other two girls to feel a chill run down their spines.

However, after hearing that Izayoi had unleashed his strongest attack, sending Uchiha Madara flying from the moon to Earth, the three girls looked at him with adoration, like die-hard fans of an idol.

Thinking that Izayoi had also arranged for a wood clone to return to deal with the situation, Hanabi couldn't help but ask, "Onii-chan, your strength is invincible in the ninja world, so why are you still hiding your identity?"

"Invincible in the ninja world? Not a chance." Izayoi downed his sake in one gulp, then handed the cup to Karin, who was warming the sake with spring water. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uchiha Madara and I have only just crossed the threshold of that dimension. If 'that person' really exists, then there are four other people in this world whose strength surpasses ours."

"What?! There are four more?!"

The three girls were terrified. Karin, who was pouring sake for Izayoi, even trembled and spilled the sake into the spring.

"Who is that person?" Hinata asked curiously.

"do not know……"

Izayoi shook her head again, saying meaningfully, "That's why I want to go fishing."

The person Izayoi was referring to was none other than Isshiki Otsutsuki, who came to Earth with Kaguya Otsutsuki to plant the Divine Tree, and was also Kaguya Otsutsuki's superior.

If this person truly exists, then someone with the ability to control size and spacetime would be impossible for anyone to find unless they actively reveal themselves, including Kaguya Otsutsuki.

For the safety of Hinata and the other two girls, Izayoi needs to use the alias Toneri Otsutsuki to fish for fish.

Of the four exceptional combatants, he and Nagato are currently considered the weakest by the world.

Nagato has already lost the Rinnegan and has no intention of transplanting a new eye.

If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had to choose a vessel for reincarnation between himself and Nagato, Izayoi would definitely be the best choice.

After all, both Madara Uchiha and Toneri Otsutsuki possessed ultimate eye techniques. Such power, which requires the unification of two extremes to obtain, must bear the "mark" of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki.

With Otsutsuki Isshiki's current strength, unless he forcibly reincarnates, he is no match for these two brothers, even if the latter are only soul bodies.

After all, no matter how strong Otsutsuki Isshiki was, he didn't have Truth-Seeking Balls.

Moreover, with his forced reincarnation, Isshiki Otsutsuki's days are numbered.

He would never risk planting wedges in the heads of Madara Uchiha and Toneri Otsutsuki.

The most suitable vessel for reincarnation is Izayoi.

Once Isshiki Otsutsuki comes knocking, Izayoi will definitely give him a big surprise.

If Izayoi can force him into reincarnation, then Izayoi is guaranteed to win.

If Isshiki Otsutsuki doesn't come knocking, then when Izayoi becomes truly invincible, he will come knocking on his own.

Thinking about this, Izayoi couldn't help but look forward to the future.

Perhaps due to lingering emotions from the war, or perhaps due to the hot spring water, Izayoi, watching Hinata peeling grapes beside her, suddenly covered Hanabi's eyes, leaned closer, and said with a mischievous grin, "Hinata, I want to try a different kind of sake."

"What kind of wine? I'll go get it," Hinata said softly.

“You don’t need to bring it, you can do it yourself.” Izayoi whispered in Hinata’s ear, “I want to drink… kuchikamizake (chewed sake).”

Hinata's face flushed bright red in an instant.

Looking at Hanabi and Karin in front of her, Hinata's voice trembled as she stammered, "But...but Hanabi and Karin are still here."

A Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl's first thought is not to refuse.

"Hehe...this is easy."

Izayoi grinned mischievously, raised a sword finger, and whispered, "Illusion... Darkness Travel Technique!"

"Ah...my eyes!"

"If you don't let me see, you won't succeed... Bagua - Empty Palm!"

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
