Yei's Cheat Ability was a pitch-black, profound bead rooted deep within his mind!
As for what it specifically did, Yei was still exploring it...
For now, he knew that this bead could grant him abilities from other worlds.
As long as he had enough points...
As for points, he had to obtain them by defeating or killing enemies!
The stronger the enemy, the more points he would receive!
And points were used to draw abilities...
With 100, 500, or 1,000 points, he could obtain abilities from the bead.
Yei had also roughly figured out that the higher the points spent, the greater the chance of obtaining something good.
The current Yei had been tempered by the Third Shinobi World War. He had killed many people, gained many points, and drawn many abilities from other worlds.
Yei looked at the thing he had cobbled together, something similar to a "System Panel"—
Host: Hyuga Yei (Death God Authority) Points: 1020 Skills: Hado 1: Thrust, Hado 4: White Lightning, Hado 12: Wind Scythe, Hado 31: Crimson Fire Cannon, Bakudo 30: Beak Piercing Triple Flash, Observation Haki, Six Styles Technique: Soru, Six Styles Technique: Moonwalk, Electromagnetic Control Items: Hollow Mask (Unable to Use)
The Lightning Release: White Lightning, Soru, and Moonwalk he had used earlier were among the abilities Yei had drawn!
However, perhaps because the worlds were different, many abilities in this world required hand seals to use...
For example, the Kido from the world of Bleach required simple hand seals before they could be cast.
Observation Haki, the Six Styles techniques, and Electromagnetic Control, on the other hand, did not.
Yei had also summarized the reason—Bakudo and Hado resembled ninjutsu and sealing techniques in this world, requiring hand seals to use, while the Six Styles techniques were Taijutsu and could be performed without hand seals.
Observation Haki manifested in this world as a sensory technique. When used together with the Byakugan, its effects were exceptional!
Electromagnetic Control was more like an innate talent...
What Electromagnetic Control gave Yei was an affinity for the lightning attribute. He could learn Lightning Release ninjutsu with ease, and the Lightning Release Stimulation Method had only come into being because he possessed this skill!
The Lightning Release Stimulation Method was merely the simplest, most basic application. Later on, Yei might develop a mode similar to the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
But Yei had yet to develop it. The reason was... his injuries had not fully healed, so he could not make any major moves. All his ideas remained only in his mind.
Yei's injuries had not truly been left behind from his battle with the Third Raikage. More than that, his body and chakra pathways had been corroded by the Hollow Mask's brutal, ominous, evil power, resulting in such severe injuries.
Injuries to the chakra pathways were not so easily healed.
As for the Death God Authority, it was something Yei had possessed ever since he killed his first enemy and awakened his Cheat Ability.
Yei could only make a rough guess as to what the Death God Authority actually was...
Judging from the Hado and Bakudo skills he possessed, the Death God should be the Death God from the anime Bleach, rather than the Western Grim Reaper wielding a scythe...
Yei himself had also speculated that the Death God Authority's concrete manifestation was likely related to the soul!
After the Cheat Ability appeared, Yei's soul had also undergone subtle changes. He could even clearly "see" deep into his own soul, and because of that, he discovered an abnormality within it...
When Yei transmigrated here, he inherited all the original body's memories. In other words, his soul and the original body's soul had fused together.
And so, here came the damn part.
The Caged Bird Seal had also been engraved upon his soul...
As a transmigrator, he naturally knew exactly what the Caged Bird Seal was.
It was like a ticking time bomb, with the button held by the Main Family...
No one would like having their life in someone else's hands. Naturally, Yei wanted to break free from those shackles!
Unlike the other members of the Branch Family, who would not know the origin of the Caged Bird Seal even until death,
Yei could clearly see through his unique soul perception—
It was a curse mark engraved deep within the soul. Within the soul, it took the form of a massive eye-shaped object!
The Reincarnation Eye!
That was right. The moment Yei first saw that thing, he recognized what it was!
It was nothing else but the phantom of a Giant Reincarnation Eye. Countless chains extended from that phantom and rooted themselves in his soul!
This was the origin of the Caged Bird Seal!
Relying on his unique control over his soul and the bead of his Cheat Ability, Yei could barely suppress the Caged Bird Curse Mark for a short time.
He simply moved the bead above the giant Caged Bird Seal deep within his soul, causing the two to overlap!
It felt like suppressing a seal...
And it truly worked. After the Reincarnation Eye deep within his soul was "suppressed" by the black bead, the Caged Bird Curse Mark on Yei's forehead would become extremely faint in the outside world, as though it were about to disappear.
He just did not know whether Yei's Caged Bird Curse Mark would still take effect if the Main Family activated it under those circumstances...
Moreover, constantly moving the Teleportation Bead to "suppress" the Caged Bird Seal forced Yei to divide his attention. The expenditure was immense, and before long, he would feel mentally exhausted.
This made Yei realize that this method was not a long-term solution. He needed to solve the problem of the Caged Bird Seal at its root...
In Yei's view, there were ways to solve the Caged Bird Seal, and more than one at that!
Leaving aside his Cheat Ability, even following the methods of the Naruto world, Yei could think of two!
The first was to advance to the Six Paths Level and use Truth-Seeking Orbs condensed from Yin-Yang Release Chakra to attempt to destroy the Caged Bird Curse Mark!
The second was to awaken the Reincarnation Eye and use a Reincarnation Eye of the same origin to eliminate the Caged Bird Curse Mark.
These were the two local solutions Yei considered the most viable.
Even if they could not completely solve it, suppressing the Caged Bird Seal and preventing it from activating should not be a problem!
There was no need to mention the first method. If he advanced to the Six Paths Level, then setting aside the Truth-Seeking Orbs capable of destroying everything, his very realm would be enough to disregard the threat of the Caged Bird Curse Mark!
After all, one could infer from the fact that the Caged Bird Curse Mark in his soul took the form of a Giant Reincarnation Eye phantom that it was definitely inseparable from the Reincarnation Eye!
And the Six Paths Level was absolutely a realm above the Reincarnation Eye!
The second method was the safest: use a Reincarnation Eye of the same origin and try to solve the problem from the root of the Caged Bird Seal!
After all, once he awakened the Reincarnation Eye, the two would stand on the same level. Solving or suppressing the Caged Bird Seal should not be difficult!
Although these two methods from the local world had a chance of succeeding, the difficulty was simply far too great!
The Six Paths Level required fusing the Nine Tailed Beasts into the Ten Tails and becoming the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki before one could advance to the Six Paths Level...
The conditions for awakening the Reincarnation Eye were also extremely harsh. Only pure Byakugan and the Chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan offered the possibility of awakening the Reincarnation Eye...
There was still a long road ahead!!!
Of course, aside from solving the Caged Bird Curse Mark using methods native to the Naruto world, it was not as if Yei had no other options.
After all, his Cheat Ability was still with him. As long as he could completely uncover the secrets of the bead in his mind, then... none of this would be a problem!
"Looking" at the phantom of the Giant Reincarnation Eye deep within his soul, Yei's gaze turned profound as he murmured, "Sooner or later, I will get rid of you. My life cannot be allowed to remain in someone else's hands..."
