Yuzuru took a deep breath and steadied his emotions.
He then looked at the system panel. Only Dust Release and Lava Release had yet to complete their evolution.
Without hesitation, he murmured, "Evolve Dust Release Kekkei Tōta."
[ Ding! Dust Release Kekkei Tōta evolution progress: 100%! You have gained +1 chance to draw a clan entry! ]
Saving the best for last had always been Yuzuru's habit.
To put it in a trendy phrase...
Delayed gratification.
After evolving Dust Release to 100%, detailed information regarding it appeared in Yuzuru's mind.
He brought his hands together and circulated chakra toward the space ahead.
The next second, a white beam shot forward, carving a long trench through the ground.
"As expected of a Kekkei Tōta. Its destructive power really is incredible."
After testing Dust Release's power, Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction.
It was an attack capable of directly breaking whatever it struck down into molecular form. With proper development, it would undoubtedly become an extremely useful ability.
Yuzuru then turned his attention to the clan entries.
"System, draw a clan entry."
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the clan entry: Life Informationization! ]
[ Life Informationization (Passive): By leaving a mark on a suitable vessel in advance, you may be reborn within that vessel after death! ]
Seeing the description, Yuzuru nodded in pleasant surprise.
Judging from the wording alone, [Life Informationization] was similar to the Otsutsuki clan's Karma. It could transfer his life information into a new body through a mark, allowing him to reincarnate.
No, it was even more absurd than Karma.
Based on Yuzuru's understanding of the system, unless a restriction was specifically written down, it meant there was no restriction.
In other words, as long as he left a mark in advance, he could reincarnate directly, regardless of distance or condition.
Most importantly, it was a passive ability.
That meant that even if an enemy killed him instantly while he was completely unprepared, Life Informationization would still activate and allow him to reincarnate.
Compared to that, the Otsutsuki clan's Karma was hardly worth mentioning.
As for a "suitable vessel"...
With the Shinobi World's current cloning technology, there was no need to worry about finding a suitable body for reincarnation.
What could be more suitable than leaving a mark on a clone created from his own cells?
"This finally makes up for my last weakness."
Yuzuru muttered to himself.
Up to this point, the clan entries they had drawn covered every possible aspect.
Some enhanced spiritual power. Some strengthened the body. Some enabled spatial teleportation. Some made up for weaknesses...
And now, there was even an ability that allowed resurrection after death.
At this point, any Uchiha clansman could be considered an all-round powerhouse with nothing but the boosts provided by clan entries.
It reminded Yuzuru of novels from his previous life, where the protagonists would struggle desperately, suffer countless casualties, and finally defeat the Boss, only to discover that it had merely been the Boss's first phase.
"As expected of the Clan System. The importance it places on its members is terrifying."
"Trying to kill an Uchiha clansman is going to be extremely difficult."
Yuzuru could not help but sigh.
They could reproduce, fight, and revive...
How could a clan like that ever fail to prosper?
"By now, the clan members should all know about [Life Informationization]. Have Orochimaru prepare at least five cloned reincarnation vessels for every member in advance."
Yuzuru wrote a secret letter, casually handed it to a White Zetsu, and had it transported to Orochimaru's laboratory base.
Only after finishing all of that did he turn his attention back to the system panel.
"System, open the Azure Treasure Chest!"
A flash of azure light appeared, followed immediately by a series of system notifications in Yuzuru's mind.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the ability: Breaking the Limiter! ]
[ Breaking the Limiter: Your power can increase without limit. There will be no bottlenecks whatsoever. ]
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the ability: Void Realm! ]
[ Void Realm: Every clan member will leave behind a projection identical to their original body within the Void Realm. The projection will remain at the clan member's peak state. After a clan member dies, the Host may use their projection in the Void Realm to revive them at the cost of the corresponding amount of life energy and spiritual energy. ]
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the ability: Ascension! ]
[ Ascension: You obtain all life energy and spiritual energy possessed by the projections within the Void Realm. ]
Hearing the string of system notifications, Yuzuru was briefly dazed.
When he finally recovered, he could no longer suppress the wild joy rising within him.
Three abilities!
A full three abilities!
Every single one of them was absurdly powerful!
There was no need to say much about [Breaking the Limiter]. Anyone who understood One Punch Man knew just how valuable it was.
As long as he kept training, his strength could continue growing forever, and he would never encounter a cultivation bottleneck.
[Void Realm] was even more incredible. In a sense, it practically granted him the power of a god.
As long as he wished it, he could revive any member of the Uchiha clan from this point onward in their peak state.
And then there was [Ascension]...
Gathering the spiritual energy and life energy of every projection in the Void Realm into himself was remarkably similar to the Otsutsuki clan using the God Tree to absorb a planet's energy.
The only difference was that the Otsutsuki clan needed to keep searching the universe for suitable planets, while all he needed to consider was how to make the Uchiha clan grow as quickly as possible.
There was one more crucial point...
According to the description of [Void Realm], even after an Uchiha clansman died, their peak-state projection within the Void Realm would not disappear.
That meant the life energy and spiritual energy he gathered would not come solely from the Uchiha clansmen currently alive.
It would come from every Uchiha clansman throughout history!
Most importantly, the three abilities could work together, creating a perfect cycle!
"As expected of an Azure Treasure Chest that requires a population of one hundred thousand to unlock. Compared to the Golden Treasure Chest from back then, it is stronger by several dimensions."
"Ascension... Ascension..."
Yuzuru murmured the word several times as another phrase slowly surfaced in his mind.
Ascension...
Becoming a god!!!
As Yuzuru whispered, the Void Realm opened.
An immense, vigorous power surged into his body.
His strength, which had been stuck at the peak of the Six Paths level, began rising without end.
There were no bottlenecks. Everything happened as naturally as breathing.
Finally, after gathering the life energy and spiritual energy of one hundred thousand clansmen, Yuzuru's entire body shuddered.
"I've broken through... Kekkei Mōra!"
