The Birth of Zuo Aotian

Guy rushed to the hospital's intensive care unit the moment he was released.

Seeing Lee wrapped up like a mummy, he was struck as if by lightning, dropping to his knees in a flood of tears and wailing.

Lee opened his mouth weakly and asked, "Sensei, don't be like this! I still have a chance to recover!"

"Don't lie to me, Lee!"

Guy's fist hovered over Lee's forehead, not actually swinging down.

He clutched his own head, messing up his bowl cut hairstyle.

"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt this badly! Even Lady Tsunade said she can't do anything about injuries this severe. Lee! Please let me commit seppuku to apologize!"

Watching Might Guy ramble on to himself, he pulled out a short sword from who knows where and aimed it at his own gut to disembowel himself.

Lee's eyes widened in horror: "Sensei, I'm serious! But it'll come at a price."

Guy's movement abruptly stopped.

"Really?"

"Really!"

As a severely wounded patient, Lee had been tossed around so much he was barely breathing, on the verge of dying in his hospital bed.

But he forced himself to hold on and told Might Guy what he'd discovered.

"I see." Guy rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

Lee wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he had grit. After reading through the extra memories over a dozen times, he finally found a hidden perk for Reincarnators.

Every Reincarnator gets one and only one chance—a chance to sell themselves.

They could sell anything they had for Reward Points.

Fate, luck, abilities, Combat Experience, wisdom, Life Insights, Life Skills...

Everything had its value. And all of it could be turned into Reward Points.

What Lee had that was most valuable was his understanding of the Eight Inner Gates.

"Wait! Lee, don't you think it's strange? Why does that Main God let you reveal Its information?" Guy turned into a Wise One, as if spotting a blind spot.

Lee looked clueless: "Why wouldn't It?"

"Isn't It afraid..."

Guy's words trailed off without finishing.

Yeah... why would the Main God be afraid?

It couldn't be happier for everyone in the Infinite Planes to know It exists, become Reincarnators, and do Its bidding!

Afraid?

Not a chance!

In Its eyes, this wasn't a secret at all!

In fact, if someone brought in a promising, valuable Reincarnator, maybe... there was a hidden bonus?

Of course, Guy's simple, brute-force way of thinking couldn't grasp that much. He just chewed Lee out.

"Is the Eight Inner Gates more important than your life, Lee! If you die, youth ceases to exist!"

"Oh!"

Lee was inexplicably moved and tearfully sold his insights and training experience on the Eight Inner Gates.

The points weren't much—the stingy Main God only gave him five hundred Reward Points—but that was enough for several Full Body Repairs.

"Redeem one Full Body Repair!"

Based on your physical condition analysis, Full Body Repair requires 136 Reward Points.

For Wang Yan, as long as it didn't damage the soul, Full Body Repair was dirt cheap. Even the trickiest case of genetic collapse cost under a thousand points.

Of course, cheap was relative to him, the stingy capitalist making money lying down. Other Reincarnators had to grit their teeth and tighten their belts to use it once.

The points were deducted in an instant, and a milky White light emerged from the void, enveloping Lee and lifting him into the air.

In this White light, Lee's injuries rapidly healed.

Torn muscle fibers, bones, and nerves were all restored at lightning speed, and even the old injuries from his intense training were erased in the process.

As the light faded, Rock Lee felt boundless power surging within him, even stronger than before he was hurt.

With a slight flex, the bandages on his upper body shattered into shreds and fell away.

"Huh? You are..."

Lee looked at the cool-faced guy standing at the ICU door, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember you. You're the top rookie of this year's new ninja class. What's your name again?"

Sasuke's mouth twitched, instantly losing any goodwill toward this idiot who reminded him of Naruto.

If he hadn't noticed something strange while passing the hospital earlier and gotten curious, he wouldn't have bothered with him.

In the end, Sasuke pursed his lips and introduced himself with a bored tone: "Sasuke Uchiha. Tell me, do you know about Reincarnators?"

"Eh? You too?"

Rock Lee instantly blew his cover.

"What was that white light just now?"

"Full Body Repair..."

"How many missions have you done?"

"None."

"Then where did you get the Reward Points?"

The honest person, Rock Lee, told the other the secret he'd discovered.

Watching their mechanical, stiff exchange, Guy was moved to tears: "Mmph! Is this what friendship is? So passionate! I'm about to burn up!"

"Alright, I've got things to do. See you next time."

Sasuke dodged them like they were lunatics and ran out of the hospital.

"So, aside from doing missions and handing over items carrying the Power of Destiny, you can also sell yourself?" The corners of Sasuke's mouth curled into a smirk full of malice.

Sharingan?

Fate?

Take it! Take it all!

Could these things let him stand at the peak of the endless worlds?

If not, what use were they?

After finishing Naruto from Sakura's perspective back then, only one feeling lingered in Sasuke's heart.

That manga's scope was too small—all the fighting was just one family's internal strife.

Those with noble bloodlines, connected to the Otsutsuki Clan, could explode with breakthroughs at the brink of death.

But those unconnected to the Otsutsuki Clan were just ordinary extras, no matter how hard they tried, unable to break free from the cage of fate.

So here's the question...

Was the Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline really that noble?

Sasuke subconsciously glanced at the "Bloodline" section in the Main God Exchange List.

Cosmic Ice Demon: naturally grows to adulthood, capable of easily destroying planets, a long-lived species...

Innate Super Saiyan: Broly's rage-filled blood...

Ancient Saint Body: peerless through the ages, unmatched and invincible...

Supreme Bone: innate skill "Hand of the Heavens," triggers Heavenly Tribulation Light upon activation, as if using the heavens' hand to impose tribulation on the enemy...

Identity Swap - Gate of Immortality Spirit: immortal and indestructible, endless fortune without cease, devouring all things to nourish oneself...

Could the Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline, even if refined and elevated to its peak, compare with these on the Main God Exchange List?

At that thought, Sasuke couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Of course, even if he sold everything he could, he still couldn't afford these top-tier bloodlines.

But Sasuke already had his own exchange plan.

Better to have none than shoddy!

Until he had enough Reward Points and Destiny Gems to buy the bloodline he wanted, he decided to exchange for "that" first.

It took him a full half-day before he finally found the ability he wanted and could afford!

This would be the turning point of his life!

And today would become the pivot of his fate!

Super High School Level Luck (Passive): Representative figure, Makoto Naegi. The exchanger can gain the power of "True Luck," also known as—the "Protagonist Halo."

Reward Points instantly zeroed out. The pitiful green youth, Sasuke, logged off.

Zuo Aotian was reborn in his place.
