Chapter 42: Blood inheritance limit

In Uchiha Natsu's mind, the door of the store swung open, and a body was being sent into it. The rhythmic sound of a keyboard tapping filled the air.

[Corpse score: 75 points; credit rating bonus points: 10 points; total score: 85 points.]

Uchiha Natsu read the scores displayed on the screen. His efforts on the battlefield had earned him a decent score. The obtained trading items were listed next.

[Obtained trading items: Blood inheritance limit Lottery Draw Effect: 50% chance to draw a blood inheritance limit. Please choose to collect or discard by yourself.]

"Blood inheritance limit?" Uchiha Natsu's heart skipped a beat. Blood Successor Boundary, like his own Sharingan, was a special genetic innate ability. Many blood-succession boundaries altered the nature of chakra, such as ice escape or melting escape. Obtaining such limits required exceptional talent and unimaginable efforts.

"This blood successor limit has increased. If I had a pair of blank eyes..." Uchiha Natsu's eyes glimmered with excitement. With the combination of Byakugan and Mangekyou Sharingan, he envisioned a novel and powerful pupil technique. The eagerness in his eyes revealed his anticipation.

However, the uncertainty of the lottery bothered him. If he failed the 50% chance, the corpse would be wasted. After a moment of hesitation, Uchiha Natsu took a deep breath and made a decision. [Accept it!]

As he drew a new blood succession limit, an unexpected pain surged through every inch of his body. Uchiha Natsu cried out in pain, an experience he had never encountered before. The pain persisted for about ten minutes before gradually subsiding.

When the pain finally vanished, Uchiha Natsu felt a sense of relief, drenched in sweat. Opening his eyes, the whites were bloodshot. The Mangekyou Sharingan automatically appeared, emitting a faint red glow.

"This is... Wood Release?" Uchiha Natsu was ecstatic as he recognized the new power within him. Wood Release was a powerful blood successor limit possessed by the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama. It allowed him to defeat even Uchiha Madara, the wielder of the eternal Mangekyou.

Uchiha Natsu marveled at the potency of Wood Release ninjutsu. Catching the Nine-Tails with the Wooden Technique was likened to catching chicks, emphasizing its formidable capabilities. However, his excitement was tempered by the fact that he didn't know how to use Wood Release ninjutsu.

Over the past few years, Uchiha Natsu has focused on learning the basic five types of ninjutsu. Obtaining other blood succession boundaries seemed unlikely, and the information on Wood Ninjutsu was scarce. The recorded scroll was believed to be at the root of the hand of Yamato.

"The only way to test the extent of my Wood Release is to wait until I acquire the corresponding ninjutsu." Uchiha Natsu pondered on his next steps. Different blood inheritance boundaries manifested differently for individuals, with varying strengths.

For example, Yamato's Wood release, compared to the first generation's Senju Hashirama, was like heaven and earth. Uchiha Natsu lacked the body of a sage, so he speculated that his Wood release might not match the strength of the first generation.

Despite uncertainties, Uchiha Natsu felt overjoyed. The inhuman pain he endured seemed worthwhile if it meant gaining the powerful Wood release. As the sweat on his body subsided, he put away the scroll and used Earth Release to return to the small town.

At this time, the Uchiha clan, assisted by Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone, was cleaning up the battlefield. The residents in the small town were rejoicing, grateful for the merits of Konoha Ninja. Uchiha Natsu, through his shadow clone, interacted with the residents, revealing that he led the Uchiha clan to safeguard their homeland.

The residents regarded Uchiha Natsu and the Uchiha ninjas as heroes, expressing their gratitude. However, the other Uchiha clan members felt embarrassed and averted their eyes, uncomfortable with the attention.

After dealing with the villagers, Uchiha Natsu requested Tiehuo to send his father back to Konoha. The residents donated a carriage as a gesture of kindness, and Uchiha Natsu accepted it. After arranging the affairs of Uchiha Asgari, Uchiha Natsu smoothly took over the leadership position and led the Uchiha clan to rest in the town for a night.

The next day, a dozens of Uchihas left the town, heading to the next Uchiha battlefield. The battlefields were spread apart, and the journey consumed most of the time. Yet, the results were evident.

In a month, Uchiha Natsu led the Uchiha clan to clean up multiple battlefields. This time, Uchiha Natsu didn't need to intervene personally. More and more Uchiha clansmen demonstrated initiative in defeating enemies, leaving Uchiha Natsu to deal only with the remaining adversaries.

After continuing to clean up several battlefields, Uchiha Natsu discovered that all enemy ninjas who confronted the Uchiha clan had retreated ahead of time. Despite their efforts to remain discreet, the enemy had discovered them.

Except for Fugaku's biggest battlefield, the remaining Uchiha ninjas had gathered. The Uchiha clan's war came to an end, marked by losses—seven genin ninjas, four Chunin ninjas, and one jonin ninja. Without Uchiha Natsu, this number might have been tenfold.

Uchiha Natsu's reputation among the Uchiha clan underwent a two-level reversal from the original assessment. However, the Uchiha clan didn't leave empty-handed. Some individuals opened their Sharingan and became new blood.

Uchiha Natsu himself gained significantly. In the past month, he harvested a total of 7 Jōnin corpses, 21 Chūnin corpses, and hundreds of Genin corpses. In addition to the rewards from the Jōnin corpses, he accidentally acquired a bottle of Immortal Pills.

The Immortal Pill appeared to have greatly improved Uchiha Natsu's physique and talent. However, its impact on the blood succession limit remained unknown, as there was no suitable candidate for Uchiha Natsu to test.

Finally, when recovering the bodies of the ninjas, the system once again surprised Uchiha Natsu with unexpected developments.
