Spring, Year 4X of Konoha.
Sosuke’s life in Konoha was not…
entirely ideal.
“If we were to rank Bloodline Limits from ‘trash’ to ‘god-tier,’ my lineage would be off the charts.”
Sosuke rubbed his temples, feeling quite a headache.
If there were a ranking for Ninja World, he would certainly be a very rare type.
But right now, Sosuke really wanted to cry out loud.
Something was certainly wrong!
Legend has it, the union of the Uchiha and the Senju grants the power of all creation.
Regardless of which Bloodline Limit one inherits, it’s enough to become a godly entity.
Even if one were to defect to another Ninja village for a green card, they would still be highly sought after.
Sosuke had skipped talent detours entirely, reaching the finish line in one step by becoming a half-blood of the Uchiha and the Senju.
Uchiha for mechanics, Senju for stats.
Putting the two together is equivalent to having high damage on the left hand and high damage on the right.
The only downside is…
“I am the fruit of sin.”
Sosuke sighed.
Unless his father were Senju Hashirama and his mother were Uchiha Madara, he would never pass the political background check.
Sosuke was not originally from this world.
He was just walking along a national highway when he was hit by a truck, spinning like a fidget spinner, and then popped into Konoha.
Living his second life, Sosuke had undoubtedly had the “meta” information in a world where lineage was supreme.
His father was a member of the Uchiha Clan, and his mother was a member of the Senju Clan.
Just as Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama could have a “bond,” his parents had fallen for each other, staging a Romeo and Juliet story.
Driven mad by love, Sosuke’s father had inherited the paranoid side of the Uchiha and resolutely decided to leave his clan, eloping with Sosuke’s mother from the Senju Clan.
At that time, the Senju Clan was on the verge of dissolution.
When the Senju learned that an Uchiha punk had gotten their good girl pregnant, the entire Senju Clan was enraged, nearly causing another conflict between the two clans.
Biologically speaking, this was very strong—a union of the powerful.
Politically speaking, it was a disaster.
The Uchiha and the Senju were absolutely forbidden…
from intermarrying!
If you ask why, the ancestors of the two clans, starting from the era of the Six Paths Sage, had been locked in endless conflict due to unfair inheritance distribution between brothers, cycling all the way to the end of the Sengoku period.
They were millennial enemies.
[TN: Black Zetsu side-eyeing the readers…]
Later, because of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, the two clans shook hands and made peace, inviting other Ninja clans to jointly found the Ninja village.
However, that was only forty-some years ago.
How could there not be historical issues remaining?
But the deed was done, and Sosuke had already been born.
Unfortunately, it was during the Second Ninja World War, and neither clan had the time to deal with it.
By the time they looked back to deal with this mess, they found that Sosuke’s parents had both died on the battlefield, becoming heroes.
Sosuke suddenly became a hot potato.
Later, seeing how pitiful Sosuke was, and as it happened to coincide with the death of Nawaki, Tsunade took Sosuke in to care for him.
His household registration wasn’t even with the Uchiha Clan; it was still under the Senju Clan.
He was Senju Sosuke!
Simply a born evil…
oh no, a righteous little Senju!
Sosuke was sitting in a cosy living room when suddenly…
“Brat, today is the day of enrollment; don’t forget.”
A voice interrupted Sosuke’s train of thought.
Before he even saw the person, he saw two huge shadows fall over his head.
“I know, Sister Tsunade.”
Sosuke looked at Tsunade, who was wearing a tea-green coat.
Compared to her mature beauty in the future, the current Tsunade was in the prime of her youth.
Her golden long hair was tied into a ponytail, and the blue-purple mark of the “Yin Seal” was visible on her forehead.
Of course, the most striking thing was her “content” that remained the highest even when lying down—needless to say.
She could be called the highest mountain in the Ninja World.
“Good that you know.”
Tsunade flicked Sosuke’s forehead with her finger.
Sosuke covered his forehead; he was truly afraid that Tsunade wouldn’t know her own strength.
Ten minutes later.
Under Tsunade’s guidance, Sosuke headed to the Ninja Academy for enrollment.
Today was the beginning of April, the first day of school.
In the Ninja World, the new school year started in April, not September like in Sosuke’s previous life.
Sosuke looked around and found there were quite a lot of people.
He also saw quite a few “familiar faces.”
Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, Obito, Shiranui Genma, and so on.
However, it was overcrowded.
Sosuke and Tsunade could only queue at the back.
Just as Sosuke was boredly pondering whether to step into the Ninja Academy with his left foot or his right foot first, he suddenly heard a sound.
[Trait System awakened.]
[TN: Wow, SOOOO unexpected…]
[You can pick up dropped traits; fulfilling conditions allows you to synthesize higher-quality traits.]
“?”
An imaginary question mark popped above Sosuke’s head.
He had already planned how to rely on his Uchiha and Senju bloodlines to survive until the Fourth Ninja World War, and now a system appeared?
[Detected collectible trait: D-rank trait]
[D-rank trait: Lonely Genius]
[Effect: Efficiency increases by 40% when training alone.]
What does this mean?
Sosuke looked up in surprise.
Where was this trait collected from?
As he looked up, he suddenly noticed a white-haired man leading a white-haired child walking toward them.
“Yo, Tsunade.”
Sakumo Hatake greeted Tsunade.
“It’s Sakumo.”
Tsunade obviously had a good relationship with Sakumo Hatake, nodding slightly.
“This is Tsunade, the famous Sannin.”
Sakumo Hatake said to his son, Kakashi Hatake, lowering his head.
“Lady Tsunade.”
Kakashi called out.
Then he cast his gaze on Sosuke, who was beside Tsunade.
Black hair, black eyes, handsome face.
Kakashi couldn’t help but think, what a classic Uchiha look.
Compared to the hot-blooded Senju, Sosuke, judging solely by appearance, fit the traditional Uchiha image more.
Kakashi knew a little about Sosuke’s background.
“My son Kakashi is also enrolling today.”
Sakumo Hatake rubbed Kakashi’s head and then looked at Sosuke.
“Please get along well with him.”
Sakumo Hatake smiled.
Although he looked tall and imposing, his personality was as gentle as Minato Namikaze’s.
“I will, Lord Sakumo.”
Sosuke nodded.
He finally understood where this trait came from.
As soon as Sosuke saw Kakashi wearing the black mask, he knew that Kakashi’s level of melancholy was above his own.
“Huh?”
Kakashi made a puzzled sound and looked at his father.
“Don’t be proud just because you got into the Ninja Academy, Kakashi.
Sosuke’s potential might be more formidable than anyone else’s.”
Sakumo Hatake said sincerely.
In all his life, he had never seen a Ninja who was a half-blood of both the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan.
