Chapter 407: Dream Back to the Warring States
Adding points to the Yin attribute was different from Kushina giving birth.
Although Masahiko was on the moon during her delivery, if anything had happened, the Fat Cat could have summoned him back with a Reverse Summoning Jutsu.
But adding points...
"What if Great Ancestor gives birth to another orb? I might have to stay in the dimension for two months. Moreover, the Yin attribute is related to the soul (brain) after all; I might lose consciousness upon upgrading..."
With these considerations in mind, Masahiko spent nearly half a month setting up various protective measures in Konoha to ensure nothing could go wrong before flashing into his dimension.
"Got enough food too. Great Ancestor, hurry up and give birth to a 'second orb' so we can go back and see the little princess!"
Masahiko muttered silently, brought up his status panel, and instantly added 500 points to his Yin attribute.
The familiar stifling sensation in his chest reappeared, and the Soccer Truth-Seeking Orb slowly squeezed out from his chest.
Masahiko rolled his eyes, quietly waiting for the second orb to be 'born' by him. However, he found no further abnormalities in his chest, and the Soccer Truth-Seeking Orb floating in front of him slowly melted into a pool of 'black water'.
"Is this the legendary... Pitch-Black Divine Water?" Masahiko raised an eyebrow.
The changes hadn't stopped.
The Pitch-Black Divine Water gradually split into two and slowly solidified into two black orbs. The diameter of the two new orbs was about three centimeters smaller than before.
"As expected, I can't possibly have only one orb! Now I have Wind and Fire Wheels!" Masahiko's face was full of joy when his vision suddenly went black, and he collapsed headfirst.
"So I really do need to fall unconscious..."
...
From falling unconscious to opening his eyes again took only an instant, but Masahiko didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He only knew that the world before him was wrong.
This was a black and white world.
"Is this... a spiritual space?"
"He's born! He's born!"
"It's a boy!"
"It's a little brother!"
The familiar voices mixed with a baby's cry made Masahiko startle: "A boy was born? Is Great Ancestor having a nightmare? Those two voices just now... don't sound like Tsunade, Minato, and Naruto?"
"Lord Clan Head, congratulations! It's another son!"
"Clan Head?" Masahiko frowned.
A gentle female voice mixed with weakness came through: "Hideo, give the child a name."
Masahiko's eyes widened. Hideo?!
"Let's call him Masahiko, Masahiko Uzumaki!"
The world before him gradually took on color.
...
As time passed, Masahiko gradually understood his current situation.
His consciousness had attached itself to his newly born self, or perhaps because his Yin attribute reached level ten, the deepest memories in his brain had awakened.
As for why he had no memories of his past life... Masahiko expressed he didn't understand. Maybe because the attribute system was acquired in this life?
But regardless, he was quite willing to appreciate his childhood life as an observer, to appreciate that genius yet immature self.
Literate at three (reading and recognizing characters), martial arts at four (began training), learned how to extract chakra at five, succeeded within half a day, and was hailed as the strongest genius of the Uzumaki clan in recent decades.
It was also on the same day that Little Masahiko discovered the existence of his attribute panel and found his golden finger.
At that time, there was nothing to witness, so the attribute panel only allowed Little Masahiko to 'clearly understand himself' and train himself more specifically, which disappointed him for quite a while.
But the praise from his father and eldest brother, as well as the flattery from his clansmen, quickly helped him adjust, making him even a bit smug. After all, he was just a completely ordinary otaku in his past life.
"Transmigrating to the Naruto Warring States period, my golden finger isn't powerful enough. I can't compare to those two cheaters, but becoming the strongest person beneath them shouldn't be a problem, right? In the future, when Konoha is established, I'll secure a place for the Uzumaki clan. Once Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are gone, I'll be the boss!" This was the goal and ideal Little Masahiko set for himself when he initially understood the world at the age of six.
After that came training, training, and more training.
At age seven, out of temporary playfulness, he developed the 'Sexy Jutsu' and used it in front of his eldest brother, earning him a good beating...
At age eight, Little Masahiko stood in the Uzumaki clan training ground with his hands on his hips: "None of you Genin can put up a fight!"
At age nine, Little Masahiko found his attribute panel rating change from Genin to Chunin. He excitedly sought out his eldest brother: "Shoichi Uzumaki! Your time has come!"
Ever since he was beaten two years ago, Little Masahiko had held a grudge. However, his eldest brother was nine years older than him... Seeing this, Masahiko wanted to close his eyes, but found he couldn't.
"Sigh, so stupid."
At age ten, Little Masahiko once again stood in the training ground with his hands on his hips: "Brats! Come at me together, I want to fight ten!"
"Masahiko Uzumaki, we are different now. We survived the battlefield!" Masahiro Uzumaki (Ino's grandfather) shouted.
Little Masahiko curled his lip: "If that weren't the case, even if you all came at me together, you wouldn't pique my interest."
"Damn it!"
A one-versus-seven duel, a complete victory. He drew a lot of aggro with this wave.
At age eleven, Little Masahiko was always ready to shout: 'None of you Chunin can put up a fight!'
It was on a certain day in this year that his father rarely showed a serious and stern expression in front of him.
"Masahiko, prepare for war!"
Little Masahiko was immediately delighted: "Can I finally go to the battlefield?"
"This war requires the entire clan to mobilize. The opponent is the Uchiha. But don't be nervous. With your strength, as long as you are careful, plus your eldest brother's care, there won't be a problem," Hideo Uzumaki comforted.
"My first battle is against the Uchiha? How exciting!" Little Masahiko wasn't nervous at all.
"Don't be careless. Although the main forces of the Uchiha are fighting the great Hagoromo clan, they still shouldn't be underestimated by our Uzumaki clan!"
"The great Hagoromo clan?" Little Masahiko was stunned. "What is that? Shouldn't it be the Senju?"
Having never left the clan over these years, addicted to the 'thrill of getting stronger', he didn't know much about the outside world.
"Father, did... Madara Uchiha come this time?"
"Madara Uchiha?" Hideo Uzumaki frowned slightly: "Who is that?"
Little Masahiko's heartbeat slowed half a beat: "The Uchiha Clan Head's eldest son...?"
"The Uchiha Clan Head's eldest son is named Uchiha Mukuhiro. Where did you hear about a Madara Uchiha? Uchiha Mukuhiro didn't come this time. The one who came is the Uchiha Clan Head's second daughter, Naori Uchiha. She is the same age as you and is a renowned genius of the Warring States period. Masahiko, I hope this time... you can defeat her!"
"Naori Uchiha, who is that? It seems... there's a small problem somewhere?" Little Masahiko murmured softly. Seeing his father's face full of expectation, he slightly puffed out his chest and guaranteed: "Don't worry, Father! None of them can put up a fight!"
...
Masahiko had quietly watched up to this point and let out a long sigh, but it couldn't be transmitted to the outside world.
"It was this war that changed my template from a Gary Stu to a 'survive and stall' one... I really don't want to watch this again, but I probably can't get out without finishing it."
"Ngh... ngh... ngh..."
"Can I really not get out?"
