A bloodline limit refers to a technique produced by simultaneously combining two chakra nature transformations, as well as enhancements derived from organs like the eyes or a specific physique.
In simpler terms, it's a cheat code inherited through one's bloodline.
The system had already started the lottery process.
At this moment, Yuto Souta felt a mix of anticipation and worry in his heart.
Bloodline limits were rare and powerful, but what he needed right now was limited to just a few specific ones.
The Sage Body of the Senju or Uzumaki clans, or perhaps another Sharingan...
As for bloodline limits like Scorch Release, Ice Release, or Storm Release... he really wasn't interested!
The combination of his Nitrogen Release and Water Release was, strictly speaking, already overlapping with Ice Release.
Both were a mix of Wind and Water Release, but his Water Dragon Nitrogen could also get a buff from a ninjutsu master...
As for other chakra-based bloodline limits, Yuto Souta more or less understood their principles of formation.
Take Scorch Release, for example.
A combination of Wind and Fire, it could instantly raise the temperature inside a living body to inflict damage.
To put it plainly, it was about accelerating the evaporation of moisture in a body... When air temperature rises and moisture drops, how's that different from a super-hot sauna?
Or take Storm Release.
Also a combination of Water and Lightning, but without a chemical formula, it simply retained the characteristics of the two chakra types.
The result? One was a peace ambassador, the other a dynamic light wave...
The system's lottery process finally concluded.
Yuto Souta felt a rare nervousness welling up in his heart...
Finally, the system's notification arrived as expected.
[Obtained Bloodline Limit: Wood Release lv1. Please check.]
Along with it came 3000 dedicated research points for bloodline limits.
"Wood Release... it's decent enough."
Yuto Souta frowned and muttered to himself.
Wood Release was strong, but it depended on whose Wood Release it was.
Hashirama Senju used it to treat the Nine-Tails like a pet, capable of overwhelming Uchiha Madara's Susanoo with both hands and dominating with his 998-hand Buddha Wood Release.
But when it came to Yamato, it turned into the Three-Room-and-One-Living-Room Technique...
The difference wasn't about the presence or absence of Yang Release, but about whether you had a good dad.
Yamato's Wood Release was incomplete.
But even so, it was cultivated from Hashirama Senju's body and could suppress Naruto with four tails!
As for his Wood Release...
Well, it would still need some practical testing to prove its worth.
Glancing again at the distant firelight, Yuto Souta raised an eyebrow, formed hand signs, and prepared to leave.
To be honest.
He was naturally happy after drawing this bloodline limit, but he also felt a bit helpless...
He didn't deny the power of Wood Release.
Even Yamato had the ability to suppress Naruto with four tails... and later, after merging with White Zetsu, he could wield the 998-hand Buddha like a pro...
But the key issue was that, for him right now, this bloodline limit was undoubtedly a hot potato.
Think about that snake and that one-eyed dragon...
If he ever used Wood Release as an Uchiha, the consequences were obvious.
So, he chose to first allocate about 300 of the dedicated research points to his Sharingan, upgrading it to lv2.
The rest, he decided to save...
But just as he was about to leap off the hillside and gallop back to Konoha like a wild horse...
A strange new idea inexplicably popped into his mind.
"Wood Release... after it burns completely, it's carbon, right?"
"Carbon molecules?"
With his butt sticking out, still poised to jump,
Yuto Souta's mind erupted into a cosmic battle!
When wood burns completely, it turns into black, grimy charcoal.
It seems useless and dirty—touch it, and you'll need to wash your hands a dozen times.
But what if you compressed that charcoal with enough heat and pressure?
No matter how black, dirty, or useless it seems, it's still part of the carbon molecule family!
A sibling to diamonds in its allotropic form!
If you burned Wood Release into Carbon Release, then compressed and refined it further, could it possibly become Diamond Release? Drill Release?
Most importantly... he couldn't use Wood Release in Konoha, but Diamond Release would be fine!
The ideas in his mind grew more and more intense.
After a long while, Yuto Souta gritted his teeth and set off again!
From Wood Release to Carbon Release, then to Drill Release.
This would undoubtedly be a complex process requiring a ton of time and energy.
But for now, his main goal was still to hurry back to Konoha...
Calculating the time.
Kakashi Hatake should have already brought Uchiha Obito to the Konoha frontlines.
Conveniently, with the Kannabi Bridge destroyed, Konoha should be launching a full-scale assault.
Then he'd take a detour.
He didn't want anyone finding out he was the one who destroyed the Kannabi Bridge—what difference would that be from exposing that he had Wood Release?
He could only sneak back to Konoha...
Hmm, he should change his clothes too.
He was still wearing the outfit he'd stripped off an Iwa ninja...
However, as he moved forward while lost in thought,
Yuto Souta suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. An inexplicable sense of danger caused this athletic klutz to erupt with astonishing strength, forcibly halting his forward momentum!
Whoosh!
His double-tomoe Sharingan activated, and only then did Yuto Souta see where the danger came from.
It was a short sword.
It had just grazed past the tip of his nose!
If he'd reacted even half a second slower, the outcome was imaginable...
Yuto Souta couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He couldn't shake the feeling that this short sword looked a lot like Kakashi Hatake's, but Kakashi obviously couldn't be here right now.
That left only one explanation...
"Earth Release! Earth Core Shift!"
His hands frantically formed signs!
The enemy was fast and extremely stealthy—his Sharingan couldn't even pinpoint their location!
This wasn't scientific.
Even when Uchiha Obito had just awakened his double-tomoe Sharingan, he could see cloaked Iwa ninjas.
It seemed this enemy wasn't some small fry.
Yuto Souta quickly came to that conclusion.
In that case, he'd alter the terrain first.
Armed with a wealth of Earth Release ninjutsu, Yuto Souta devised a response.
If this enemy excelled at assassination, he'd bring everything within his visible range under his control!
Yuto Souta didn't hold back on chakra.
With the ninjutsu master's boost, a rock platform larger than the one Kurama had used earlier rose up. Perfectly square and flawless, it lifted Yuto Souta like an arena stage.
The perfectionism of a science nerd was on full display, and Yuto Souta's field of vision became unobstructed.
Yuto Souta regained his usual calm, his hands turning into a blur as he mobilized his chakra furiously!
But suddenly, when the enemy's figure appeared in his Sharingan, his expression turned inexplicably strange.
"Uh... Uncle Hatake?"
"What a coincidence..."
