The Strange Traits of the Otsutsuki Clan Bloodline

Kakashi's recovery brought Kitagawa Gen's days back to normal.

Maybe it was because he had expressed that he wanted to apply to become a chunin, but Kakashi began deliberately taking him along to rack up mission numbers.

It was just that because of Kirigakure's issue, they were still mainly active around Konoha for now, which meant there were destined to be no high-level missions.

Fortunately, Kakashi was also afraid he would get bored. Aside from teaching him some ninja knowledge, he also taught him quite a few techniques.

This could be considered adding bricks and mortar to his "path to clearing his name."

"You really do learn fast, kid."

At a Training Ground in Konoha, Kakashi bought a twin-stick popsicle and sat down beside Kitagawa Gen. He snapped the popsicle apart, then handed one half over.

"But what are you learning so many techniques for? I think you should put more energy into the Flying Thunder God Technique, or else expand on the foundation of that Purple Lightning of yours."

When it came to Purple Lightning, Kakashi always felt a little strange, because he thought this technique seemed extremely suited to him.

It not only gathered the characteristics of Lightning Cutter, but also upgraded them, fully reaching the standard of integrating offense and defense.

If he had not considered that his Sharingan seemed to be devouring Chakra more and more fiercely, he would have planned to learn it himself.

"Haven't I already expanded on it?"

Kitagawa Gen did not stand on ceremony either. Only after taking the popsicle did he smile and speak.

"But right now, my main task is still to put my energy into Flying Thunder God, right?"

"Then why are you learning so many ninjutsu?"

"Isn't it just to broaden things a little? It's not hard anyway."

Not hard?

Kakashi did not want to talk to Kitagawa Gen anymore. He himself seemed to have copied over a thousand ninjutsu only because he had the Sharingan.

Kitagawa Gen had not learned that many, nor had he learned them in such a scattered way. His focus was only on three types: Lightning Release, Fire Release, and Earth Release.

But this kid's learning speed truly made even him find it somewhat unbelievable.

For a moment, he even felt that the title "Copy Ninja" seemed more suited to this kid.

After all, this kid had learned his swordsmanship right in front of him.

"Teacher Kakashi, why aren't you eating?"

Just as Kakashi was thinking, Kitagawa Gen looked at him curiously, then immediately laughed.

"Speaking of which, why do you always wear a mask? Are you shy or something?"

"Just a habit."

Kakashi shook his head. He directly ignored Kitagawa Gen's question and instead spoke thoughtfully.

"Right, what weapon are you good with? Are you used to using a short sword?"

"A short sword?"

Kitagawa Gen felt a little odd. He turned his head, holding the popsicle in his mouth as he looked at the sky, wondering whether Kakashi was planning to give him that broken sword.

It seemed like that would not be bad either.

If he remembered correctly, Kakashi's short sword seemed pretty good at conducting Chakra. Paired with his Purple Electricity, it should have an even better effect.

"I think it should be no problem, Teacher Kakashi."

Thinking this, Kitagawa Gen turned his head back, only for his expression to instantly turn stunned.

Because at that moment, Kakashi had already lowered his head and started reading Make-Out Paradise, while the stick from that half of the popsicle had already been stuck into the ground!

"Wait, you already finished it?"

"It was only half a popsicle. There wasn't much."

Kakashi glanced at Kitagawa Gen in confusion, then nodded.

"Since you can use it, I'll prepare a gift for you in a few days."

Kitagawa Gen really had not guessed wrong. Kakashi did indeed have that idea.

Because of this Sharingan, he had already changed his way of fighting.

In his past understanding, Obito Uchiha had died because of him, and he was carrying Obito's eye.

Naturally, he hoped to bring out the greatest value of this eye, using that to comfort Obito's spirit, even if his body could not quite bear the Sharingan's consumption.

Although some reversals had appeared now, in certain respects, this had instead strengthened some of his thoughts.

Obito Uchiha was a hero, not a wandering, senseless evil ghost in the human world. His Sharingan was the best proof of Obito.

And Kitagawa Gen seemed to have learned his swordsmanship. He was also his disciple. Then why not give him that sword he no longer used?

He could treat it as a gift from him as a teacher.

"But that sword is broken. It still needs to be repaired first."

Kakashi rubbed his chin, then closed his book and stood up.

"All right, you cultivate slowly for now. Think hard about Flying Thunder God, or expand your Lightning Release a bit. I'll go prepare your gift."

"Wait, you're leaving just like that?"

Watching Kakashi's back, Kitagawa Gen shrugged and stopped dwelling on it. Right now, he really should put his energy into other areas.

Name: Kitagawa Gen

Age: 13

Bloodline: Otsutsuki Clan (Development Level: 13 percent)

Total Chakra: S (above average among Kage-level)

Opening the panel, Kitagawa Gen swept it with a glance and silently nodded.

Although after obtaining Kimimaro's Yang Release, his Chakra growth reaction had been relatively mild, this mildness was only relative!

Besides, he himself was also constantly working hard. At night, he had not slacked off either. His familiarity with and cultivation of Senjutsu were also keeping up, so naturally, his growth had not stopped.

"If I put in a little more effort, once the Development Level reaches fifteen percent, my Chakra should rise a bit again. And..."

As he pondered, he suddenly took out a Kunai. Along with a slight fluctuation of Chakra, a strange mark appeared on the Kunai!

The strange part of the Otsutsuki Clan bloodline lay exactly here. As long as something matched his own bloodline, or he originally possessed a similar ability...

Then as long as he had a relatively clear direction, his exploration and development would become simple. After all, Chakra control was like instinct to him!

This trait would also become increasingly obvious as his bloodline Development Level rose.

"Spatial power is something the Otsutsuki possess to begin with, and Chakra control is simple for me, so..."

Looking at the Cursed Seal on the Kunai, Kitagawa Gen revealed a smile, but very quickly shook his head again.

"It's still too crude. Maybe I haven't explored deeply enough. But..."

Kitagawa Gen seemed to remember that there was also a Flying Thunder God Cursed Seal on Obito Uchiha's back!

The marks of the Flying Thunder God seemed to be connected, even if the Cursed Seals were not quite the same.

He did not know whether this was his own problem or whether it had always been like this. At least, he could sense it.

The last time he encountered Obito Uchiha, he had not yet gone to sense spatial power, so naturally he had been unable to probe the Flying Thunder God Cursed Seal.

But now it was different!

Of course, he probably could not do anything about marks that were too far away.

After all, when it came to the Flying Thunder God, he could only be considered to have just entered the door "through sweat and hard work."

But if someone opened big right in his face, then the situation would naturally be different...

"Hmm?"

While he was thinking, Kitagawa Gen suddenly felt his eyelid twitch. He knew his system probably had another mission!

Obtained new Side Quest

Cut open the darkness of the ninja world, and soar through space

Obtain a mission to go to Kirigakure, and make Obito Uchiha feel the might of the Flying Thunder God

"..."

Looking at this mission, Kitagawa Gen was also dumbfounded.

Only after quite a while did he raise his head to look at the towering Hokage Rock in the distance, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Wait, this works too?"
