"This world just keeps getting more interesting."
Back home, a playful glint flickered in Su Yang's eyes.
He didn't possess cursed energy, and he was sure Gojo Satoru had already noticed that.
Yet, Gojo hadn't shown the slightest alarm, he hadn't even seemed surprised that someone like Su Yang, clearly outside the jujutsu system, could wield such power.
Which could only mean one thing:
There were many extraordinary powers in this world beyond jujutsu.
And that meant his current strength still wasn't enough.
Kamui was powerful, almost unbeatable in certain contexts. But if he encountered someone whose ability directly countered spatial manipulation, he might be in trouble.
Then there was his chakra. While substantial, it wasn't limitless. And his Sharingan? Still just at the Mangekyō stage.
"At the end of the day… I'm still not strong enough," Su Yang muttered to himself after a quick analysis.
Time to simulate again.
"I've got over 6,000 simulation points now. That should be enough to significantly boost my chakra."
He was even beginning to consider something bold, maybe it was time to plan for a Tailed Beast?
But after a moment's thought, he shook his head.
"No… I'll focus on enhancing chakra first. This simulation will prioritize longevity and cultivation efficiency."
Having made up his mind, all that remained was to wait for the simulation cooldown to reset.
Strange. Not one of them stayed behind?
As he walked through his home, Su Yang noticed the girls were all gone.
Even Kitagawa Marin had left.
Didn't she say she'd stay over tonight?
Ran off after all, huh?
Su Yang felt a little disappointed. He had even prepared a whole plan for that cheeky cosplayer tonight.
Now it was all wasted.
He picked up his phone and saw Marin's message: "Something came up. We'll try the outfits another time!"
Sigh… Fine, next time then.
Feeling idle, he opened a text thread with Kasumigaoka Utaha. That sly and sarcastic woman had been bombarding him with witty texts all night.
Well, if I've got nothing better to do, may as well tease her back a bit.
Time ticked by, and then, midnight hit. Simulation refreshed.
[Simulation World Confirmed: Naruto World]
[You may now consume simulation points to generate Blue-Rank Talents.]
[Would you like to spend 1,000 points to generate 1 random Blue Talent?]
[Note: You may spend up to 3,000 points to generate 3 talents.]
Oh?
Blue talents now?
Su Yang was surprised. "Looks like the more points I have, the better the talent pool becomes."
Without hesitation, he went all in.
What's 3,000 points? Just three Grade-3 cursed spirits. I'll earn it back.
[Simulation Start]
Current Talents: Combat Power Boost (Green), Steady Accumulation (White)
[Three Blue-Rank Talents Generated, Choose One:]
Absolute Focus (Blue): Instantly enter a deep, focused state at will.
True Clone (Blue): Create a fully real and independent clone.
Glutton King (Blue): Possess a stomach with extreme digestion and nutrient absorption abilities.
"Impressive... not a single weak one in the bunch."
Even Glutton King, which sounded silly at first, had clear combat utility. In high-consumption scenarios, it would dramatically increase recovery rates, even accelerate healing from serious wounds.
Still, Su Yang passed on that.
"True Clone, huh?"
A theory formed in his mind.
He picked it without hesitation.
[You are born!]
[You possess the Mangekyō Sharingan from birth. The midwife nearly fainted, and your parents were utterly shocked.]
[You used the Mangekyō's power to erase the memory of your eyes' awakening from their minds. However, you quickly discovered the Mangekyō Sharingan was not a gift without cost.]
[After just one use, your infant body couldn't handle the strain, your eyes went blind for several days.]
[You realized that despite having chakra, your body was far too immature to withstand the toll of Mangekyō abilities.]
[You vowed to refrain from using its power until you had grown stronger. Instead, you began nurturing your body with chakra.]
So far, it mirrored his previous simulation.
But what about the True Clone?
Su Yang was eager to find out whether the talent worked as he hoped.
[At three months old, while still nurturing your body with chakra, you suddenly noticed a strange new ability.]
[You activated it, and to your shock, a fully functional clone emerged.]
[Fascinated, you studied the clone carefully.]
[It was no illusion. No projection. No shadow doppelgänger. It was real. Tangible. Identical in every way.]
[The strangest part? You could swap places with your clone at will. The clone could become the main body, and vice versa.]
[The implications were immense. It meant the clone wasn't just a copy, it was part of you. A limb you could detach or sacrifice if needed.]
[Testing further, you had your clone begin refining chakra. To your surprise, it worked flawlessly.]
[From then on, your main body focused on physical cultivation, while your clone refined chakra nonstop.]
Wait, seriously?
Even Su Yang was stunned reading this.
He'd originally assumed "True Clone" just meant a physical double, something similar to a perfected shadow clone.
But this was beyond expectations.
As long as one body survived, he essentially couldn't die.
That alone was game-changing.
"Only downside, chakra consumption might be high. Shame the simulation doesn't provide exact figures…"
That was one of the simulator's downsides, important details often got glossed over.
But even so, Su Yang had already made up his mind.
This "True Clone" talent was a must-have.
He'd do everything he could in this run to earn a high evaluation and unlock an extra reward to bring it back with him.
Now, all he could do was hope this simulation continued to go well.
