Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 180 Aptitude Above the Six Paths, The Fourth Fetal Movement

"break down!"

As Izayoi finished speaking, the points in the account immediately jumped from just over 700,000 to 2,810,000, exactly a round number.

"No guarantee, it's worth it!" Izayoi's lips curled up slightly.

A one-for-one trade is already a loss, and a one-for-two trade is undoubtedly a gain.

I still need a few hundred thousand more points, including Izayoi's points, to upgrade the three red entries to colored entries.

At that time, he will be a man adorned with five colors.

Thinking of this, Izayoi couldn't wait to confirm her thoughts.

He raised his hand and clicked, and a "+" sign appeared after the Six Paths Aptitude (red).

In an instant, the points in the scoreboard dropped from 2.81 million to 1.81 million and 1.81 million.

The font size of the Six Paths Qualification, which was originally one size smaller than the colored entry and whose font color was a static red, suddenly became one size larger, and the red color quickly faded, replaced by flowing colored light.

The characters "Six Paths" even changed as if they were wriggling like worms.

After the wriggling stopped, the words "Six Paths" disappeared, and what remained was... [Transcendental Aptitude (Color)].

Thump—Snap!
The moment the entry completed its transformation, Izayoi's heart skipped a beat, and she faintly heard something shattering.

However, the quiet universe seemed to be telling Izayoi that the sound he had just heard was merely his auditory hallucination.

Indeed, Izayoi's attention was not on the voice, but rather fixed on the colored entry for "transcendent aptitude".

To be precise, it's about focusing on the "transcendental qualities (color)" in the entry column.

Just like computer sorting, the entries in the glossary are also divided into levels and statuses.

The highest-level entries are listed first, and the rarest and most valuable entries within the same level are placed at the very top.

Before the Six Paths aptitude upgrade, Izayoi only had two colored attributes, with the first one naturally being the Otsutsuki bloodline (colored).
Izayoi's current strength is entirely due to the Otsutsuki bloodline.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Otsutsuki bloodline is the heart of these terms.

Without this heart, Izayoi would not only be unable to obtain the bloodline limit Tenseigan (color) at this age, but even if he obtained the Sage Eyes (red) and Sage Body (red) from Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, without the power-up from the Sage of Six Paths, he would probably have to wait until middle age to have any hope of awakening the Rinnegan.

Even the most talented person cannot transform from a Super Shadow to a Six Paths level powerhouse during the final battle.

Because that's the limit for the offspring of the mixed-blood Otsutsuki!

In contrast, Otsutsuki Toneri, with his Otsutsuki bloodline (red), was able to awaken his Tenseigan by transplanting a high-purity Byakugan at an age when he was still unable to drink alcohol.

Therefore, among all the red entries, the status of Otsutsuki bloodline (red) has always been higher than that of Sage's Eye (red) and Sage's Body (red), ranking first.

After reaching the Color level, the Otsutsuki bloodline (Color) surpasses the Tenseigan by a significant margin, perhaps even several times over.

After all, the first sub-attribute unlocked by the Otsutsuki bloodline (color) is the red level.

Izayoi unlocked the ability to fly (red) at such a young age, and her Otsutsuki bloodline (color) definitely has more than just one red attribute.

The Tenseigan and Rinnegan are simply products of the fusion of two red-labeled characters.

Izayoi speculates that even in the colored entries, the Otsutsuki bloodline (colored) would be among the very top small group.

But now, the Otsutsuki bloodline (color), which was in first place and whose position could not be shaken no matter how other entries were upgraded, has been squeezed out.

The top-ranked entry has now become... Transcending Qualities (Color).

In Izayoi's eyes, qualifications were the worst and most useless terms.

For example, chakra control will enhance Izayoi's talent in chakra control. Without this talent, she would not be able to master Truth-Seeking Balls.

Even those with titles like "medical genius" or "medical master" can become renowned doctors in the ninja world if they realize their full potential.

The only thing missing is aptitude. Whether it's green or red level, it has no real ability and seems to just occupy a spot in the attribute list.

This term has always been positioned as a supplementary term.

As long as Izayoi's maximum potential is increased, the first attribute to be upgraded will definitely be the "aptitude" attribute.

This entry is ranked either last, or in the lower middle or upper middle.

However, this term has now surpassed the Otsutsuki bloodline (color) at the heart level, ranking first.

Even more surprisingly, Izayoi felt that the Otsutsuki bloodline (color) had no reason to complain about losing.

The phrase "transcending aptitude" is very easy to understand.

Especially for Izayoi, who has watched Boruto, this term is perhaps only possessed by two people throughout the entire universe and the long river of history.

One is him, and the other is the Otsutsuki god who seems to have transcended this world... Otsutsuki Shibai!

Izayoi's lips curled slightly as she murmured, "I wasn't mistaken about the cracking sound just now. Something did break, but it wasn't matter that broke, but... a concept!"

"My shackles... are broken!"

As if in response to Izayoi, the brain suddenly secreted a large amount of chakra, which gathered in the eyes.

Izayoi's eyeballs began to move uncontrollably.

"hiss……"

Izayoi covered her eyes and gasped.

The next second, he uttered an incredulous sound: "This is... fetal movement? How is this possible?!"

"Could it be that the Tenseigan can evolve again?"

After the Tenseigan completed three fetal movements and awakened the same Tenseigan chakra pattern as Toneri Otsutsuki, Izayoi originally thought that the Tenseigan's abilities should all be chakra beads, that is, the power of creation.

It now seems that three fetal movements are not the limit of the Reincarnation Eye.

wrong……

To be precise, three fetal movements represent the limit of the Otsutsuki bloodline (red) and the Six Paths aptitude (red), not the limit of the Otsutsuki bloodline (color) and the transcendent aptitude (color).

The third fetal movement unlocked the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Chakra Prayer Beads. What kind of ability will the fourth fetal movement unlock?
Just as Izayoi was feeling curious, her eyeballs suddenly stopped moving.

"What happened? The baby's movements stopped so quickly?"

Izayoi created a mirror with a puzzled look, examining her reflection in the mirror, which showed that she had already deactivated the Wood Transformation Technique and the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

With white hair and a pair of dragon horns on his forehead, his face, though no longer childish, was still incredibly handsome, and his eyes were still the blue-white Tenseigan.

It was as if the eyeballs moving just now were merely Izayoi's illusion.

Izayoi, who possesses amazing farsightedness and X-ray vision, suddenly leaned close to the mirror, her nose almost touching the lens, staring intently at her eyes in the mirror.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the black pupils in the reincarnation's eyes, which resemble a solar corona, are no longer surrounded by a white halo, but rather... a faint gold.

Seeing the golden halo that would be difficult to spot without a close look, Izayoi's lips curled up slightly again.

He recognized it at a glance; it was a kind of eye power that even he couldn't control.

This power of the eye is changing the nature of the Reincarnation Eye in a very gentle way, unlike the previous three fetal movement periods.

Just like how Madara Uchiha fused with Hashirama Senju's cells, his eye power slowly increased, gradually giving rise to the power of all things in the universe, and then one day he woke up and his eyes suddenly became the Rinnegan.

Izayoi could sense that the Tenseigan was slowly absorbing her chakra.

Or perhaps, the chakra is slowly converging towards the area around the eyes.

Unlike the first three fetal movements, the power of the ultimate eye technique could not be used.

This fourth fetal movement not only did not affect Izayoi's ability to use the Tenseigan, but it also did not cause her to frantically absorb his chakra.

Izayoi had a premonition that this fetal movement would last for a long time.

But it suited Izayoi's taste perfectly.

If he could, he would even like to make this fetal movement last as long as possible.

The longer the evolution lasts, the greater the improvement, and it's still the kind that won't damage the foundation.

The best example is still Madara Uchiha.

As a counterexample, Uchiha Sasuke received the power-up from the Sage of Six Paths, and one of his eyes evolved into the Rinnegan with six tomoe.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju became stronger with age, while Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki became weaker with age.

Because they have reached the limit of their potential, and there is no room for further advancement.

Izayoi's current strength means he has only four and a half opponents in the ninja world. He has a very rich arsenal and is not lacking in powerful killing moves, but he lacks a mysterious and exclusive trump card.

After all, Izayoi had already revealed all his trump cards in this battle. If Madara Uchiha and the Sage of Six Paths, or even Hamura Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki, had ways to deal with that ultimate technique, then it would be Izayoi's turn to be on the defensive.

Izayoi must prepare new trump cards to gain the upper hand in the intelligence war.

Therefore, Izayoi hoped that this fetal movement would allow him to unlock a new trump card.

In this way, Izayoi would have more confidence when facing the Sage of Rokudos, whose identity was unknown.

"Should we upgrade this thing too?"

Shattering the mirror in his hand, Izayoi stared at the entry bar on his personal panel again, his gaze falling on the Immortal Body (Red), and he murmured to himself.

Izayoi made her decision very quickly.

“The Sage of Six Paths was able to cultivate a Sage Body, and even the Sage Body he inherited from Ashura was at the red level, which means that his Sage Body must have reached the color level.” Izayoi glanced at the three color entries, stared at the Transcendent Aptitude (Color), and couldn’t help but reveal a confident smile, “If even he can do it, there’s no reason why I can’t do it now.”

"Instead of wasting points on a term that is bound to be upgraded, it's better to save them for later emergencies, or use them on...this term."

In the end, Izayoi's gaze shifted to Miku (Red).

The entry for "flying" not only grants Izayoi the ability to fly, but also endows her with powerful spatial and temporal talents.

In just a few months, he mastered the Heavenly Transfer Technique and the Flying Thunder God Technique in various ways, and also developed a space-time teleportation array using chakra beads.

Without the space-time teleportation array, Izayoi would not have been able to successfully outmaneuver and defeat Uchiha Madara.

If the red-level ability to fly is already this powerful, then if it is upgraded to the color level, wouldn't the space-time talent become even stronger, or even give rise to space-time abilities?

Thinking about this, Izayoi was very excited.

However, reason prevailed and he calmed down.

Yomotsu Hirasaka is a power of bloodline limit, and it is hoped that one can obtain it.

Space-time portals are something that even the ultimate eye techniques can achieve.

In the future, he will most likely be able to develop a spacetime portal.

In fact, these abilities might even be inherent to pure-blooded Otsutsuki clan members.

After all, the red entry for "flying through the air" is just a secondary entry for the Otsutsuki bloodline (color), or even just one of them.

Moreover, even if this term is improved, Izayoi will need to realize its potential. Even if it generates spacetime abilities, it will definitely take a considerable amount of time.

Instead of wasting 990,000 points on it, why not save the two upgrade opportunities for synthesizing the Rinnegan in the future?
Izayoi quickly calmed herself down, turned off her personal panel, and avoided overthinking.

Immediately, Izayoi used her chakra rosary to create a seven-layered spacetime teleportation array, which transported her directly from space back to her basement home on Earth.

Since the battlefield between Izayoi and Madara Uchiha was in space.

No one except those few people knew about their second round of fighting.

Perhaps even those few people could only determine who the winner was by looking at Madara Uchiha's injuries.

After all, during those two days and two nights of battle, Izayoi was not only scheming against Madara Uchiha, but also against those Otsutsuki.

Whenever they show their faces, Izayoi will spot them.

Since they didn't find anything, it means they didn't dare get too close.

As for those stronger than himself?
Izayoi increasingly felt that the possibility was slim.

Even if someone is stronger than you, they're only slightly stronger; they can't completely overwhelm you.

Otherwise, there would be no need to hide at all; you could just take action directly.

Only those who lack absolute confidence in dealing with themselves will hide and act like a mouse.

Thinking of this, Izayoi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

After his qualifications were elevated to the level of transcending qualifications (color), Izayoi was filled with confidence and self-assurance.

The moment it sublimated, it triggered the fourth fetal movement in the eye of rebirth.

This means that Izayoi's prediction was correct.

Transcending one's aptitude not only raises one's potential ceiling, but also brings out the potential of the Otsutsuki bloodline (color), just as the Sage's Eye (red) and the Byakugan Prince (red) bring out the potential of the Otsutsuki bloodline (red), allowing Izayoi to obtain the Tenseigan that completes three fetal movements at this age.

The fourth fetal movement may just be a special gift that transcends the expected (or perhaps more) stage.

Having entered her true growth phase, Izayoi's future growth rate will be terrifying beyond imagination.

Thinking about this, Izayoi felt even more excited about the future.

……

"Izayoi-kun, you're back?"

"Izayoi-kun, are you alright?"

"Onii-chan, Hanabi was so worried about you!"

As soon as Izayoi came out of the basement, he was surrounded by Hinata and the other three girls.

Unlike their previous confident demeanor, Hinata and her two companions, along with Shion, all wore expressions of worry this time.

Hanabi rushed into Izayoi's arms, hugging him tightly around the waist.

There was no other way; apart from those few Otsutsuki, only Hinata and the other three girls knew about the second round of the battle between Izayoi and Madara Uchiha.

At first, the four girls were still full of confidence in Izayoi, believing that he was invincible.

But after Izayoi didn't return for two days and two nights, and his wooden clone disappeared without leaving a single word, the four women finally lost their composure.

Although the wood clone had only disappeared recently, Hinata and the other three girls felt like every second was a day, and were extremely uneasy.

Looking at the girls with worried expressions and even misty eyes, Izayoi was slightly taken aback.

As if sensing their emotions, Izayoi smiled gently, then opened his arms and pulled all three women into his embrace, whispering, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Hinata and the other two girls held Izayoi tightly, their panic and wild thoughts all dispelled by Izayoi's body temperature, scent, and the strong sense of security he provided.

However, the warm atmosphere didn't last long before it was broken by a voice.

"Waaaaah... I'm suffocating!"

Hanabi, sandwiched between Izayoi and Hinata, spoke in a muffled voice.

"Hahaha... Sorry, sorry."

As Izayoi burst into laughter, the atmosphere instantly became joyful, and they returned to their usual way of getting along.

Just as Hinata and the other three girls were about to ask a question, a burst of chakra suddenly passed through the perception barrier, attracting the attention of Izayoi and the others.

With a whoosh, a blurry figure appeared out of thin air in front of Izayoi, kneeling on one knee.

"Lord Izayoi, the Hokage has ordered me to come and inform you that you must go to the Hokage's office immediately."

Wearing a cat-face mask that revealed her purple hair, Uzuki Yugao bowed her head respectfully and said.

"I understand, I'll be there in a bit, you can go now."

Izayoi waved her hand, but Uzuki Yugao did not disappear immediately. Instead, she looked up at Hinata and the other girls and said again, "The Hokage specifically instructed that you go to the Hokage's office alone. Lady Hinata and Lady Karin will come with me to the Hokage Building."

Upon hearing this, Izayoi raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Hinata and Karin, both of whom could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

"In that case, Hinata and Karin, you can leave with Yugao. I'll go find the Hokage myself." Izayoi also became interested and gave the two girls his instructions.

"Yes."

Hinata and Karin nodded.

"Hanabi, you and Shion stay home and wait for us to come back."

Izayoi patted Hanabi's head and then smiled at Shion, saying, "Shion, Hanabi is in your care now."

"Uh-huh……"

Hanabi and Shion both nodded repeatedly, behaving very obediently.

Immediately, all four of them vanished.

Izayoi disappeared without warning, while Hinata and the other two girls vanished in an instant.

A few days later, just as the preliminary rounds of the third Chunin Exams were ending, news spread through Konoha and quickly throughout the ninja world.

The entire ninja world was in an uproar.
