Half a year

A child could be seen in a large decorated room. The child was only 6 months old, but he was sitting in a meditation pose and breathing in rhythm.

'It's been 6 months now, he should wake up soon, but for now ...'

'Status'

[Name: Hyuga Ren

Age: 6 months

Pedigree: Hyuga 99.9% / Ootsutsuki 0.1%

Level: 0

Meditation: Level 2

Clearing the bloodline: Level 0]

'Hmm meditation has reached level 2, but I feel like it's not improving anymore'

[Of course it doesn't improve, because your level is still 0. I'm actually surprised that you were able to reach level 2 in just 6 months.]

'Hi, I wanted to know when I can start purifying my bloodline and how long I can purify it.'

[With the current technique, you can clear up to a maximum of 10 percent, and you could start already at the first level. However, I must remind you not to exceed the level of meditation. Otherwise, you can really die.]

'10% ? It seems to me or it's too little.'

[Pfft. Not enough ? You should know that with 100% bloodline, you can reach level 8 and you still think that 10% is not enough. However, I still advise you to stop at 50% and then integrate these two bloodlines and strengthen them. Only then will you be able to reach a higher level.]

'Hmm, why can't I achieve more with 100% of Ootsutsuki's bloodline?'

[It's just that it's because of the bloodline trap. This is the main problem why creatures relying on bloodlines for rapid progress cannot advance beyond their bloodline. Not everyone can overcome the bloodline trap and move on.]

'Hmm, but I heard that the current Kage is from a clan that has a rather weak bloodline and he could not become a Kage without sufficient strength.'

[That's right, that's why he is one of the geniuses who either broke the bloodline trap, or improved his bloodline, or used a special technique thanks to which he was able to break through to the next level. But he will not be able to improve further.]

'So how are ordinary people supposed to get stronger without a strong bloodline or special technique?'

[Cultivation of such is also called cultivators. These people use a special technique that slowly improves their strength and allows them to break through to the next levels. Of course it is slow and often additional external resources are needed.]

'So I will need to get this technique from somewhere in order to advance further in the future. Hmm, I feel it's not going to be that easy. I don't even know where to start.'

[Not necessarily. Well, more precisely, you will need it all exactly, but not for long cultivation, but to improve the quality of your energy and bloodline. Therefore, you first have to purify the ootsutsuki bloodline. After you combine it with the Hyuga bloodline and with this you should be able to move on quite easily. Of course, after level 10, no bloodline and technique will help you break through. There needs to be something more, well, you'll find out in the future.]

"Okay, let's start with my bloodline.'

While the baby continued to sit in meditation, natural energy began to attract to him and his body absorbed it. If a sage saw this, he would be shocked.

In another room, a woman was playing with her daughter. It was Himawari and her daughter Hinata. The mother had a kind smile while the girl was laughing loudly in her mother's arms.

There was a man sitting in an office on the second floor of this house and a man with a face similar to him was sitting opposite him. They were the brothers Hiashi and Hizashi.

"Why did you want to see me, Patriarch?"

"You can call me brother while we're alone. You know that."

"I want to know why you called me."

"Haa good. I want my son to marry your daughter, to stabilize the clan and also allow her to be part of the main branch of the clan."

"You don't want your daughter to become a branch of the clan and you don't want any problems related to that."

"You know, brother, that the village does not like Uchiha because they cause problems to the village. That's why I don't want my clan to fall out of favor too because of our internal unrest. Which can have an impact on the village. "

"They don't like Uchiha because of the second Hokage. Also, the Uchiha behave this way because of Danzo, who gives them problems and wants to destroy them."

"And there's nothing we can do. We don't have Kage-level people in our clan. The only Kage in our village are Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo and Hiruzen's students. They are all in the same boat, so if we want to change something, we will find ourselves in the same position as the Uchiha. The other clans also know this, so they do not act. "

"We are the clan that joined Senju and Uchiha first. And all we get is more bloody wars where the geniuses of our clan die and there's nothing we can do. "

"I know. I'm trying to break through to the level of Kage, but I'm not an old Patriarch and my talent is exhausted, so we can only endure and wait for the same genius as the old Patriarch to appear."

"You can't break through because you're a coward."

"If you were in my place, you would understand."

"I'm not in your place, I'm a branch of the clan."

"Haa, do you agree or not."

"Fine, but if my daughter doesn't want to marry him, then you won't let her be in the clan branch anyway."

"I make a promise. That despite the result, she will be in the main branch of the clan."

Meanwhile, a man in a hat with a fire pattern was visiting one of the orphanages. There was a baby lying in one of the cots for babies. He had a mustache and hair the color of the sun. The child was sleeping peacefully while the old man looked at him with a bit of care, but also with difficulty in his eyes.

'Minato , your son is healthy and growing well , but I can't keep an eye on him all the time. The advisors will not allow him to enter other clans for upbringing and I cannot allow him to join my Sarutobi clan. Danzo wants him to be a weapon and I also want him to be a defender of the village. '

The old man sighed wearily and turned to the teacher.

"Take good care of him."

"YES, Mr. Hokage."

The old man wearily left the shelter and returned to his office. On the way, he suddenly said to no one - "Report to me if something happens to the child."

After his words, a shadow flew out of his shadow and disappeared into a fraction. While the old man continued on his way.
