In the end, Uchiha Gen chose the third route.

That was to supplement himself with a bloodline from outside the Naruto World, balancing immediate combat power with future growth potential.

"A ninja's greatest weakness in the early stages is being too fragile. Anyone below the Six Paths Level is squishy, so an exchange needs to focus on improving survivability while also increasing combat strength."

Uchiha Gen pondered this inwardly.

Although ninjas possessed enough physical durability to smash through trees and walls without dying, making them far tougher than ordinary people, such defense was insignificant compared to the offensive power of opponents at the same level.

It was too easy to get locked down, overwhelmed by damage, and die instantly. There was far too little room for error.

If Uchiha Gen had only one or two Rank B Side-Story Missions, he would have exchanged for the Troll Bloodline without hesitation.

The Troll Bloodline alone was not particularly powerful, but as long as a troll had half its body left, it would not die even if vital organs like the brain and heart had been destroyed. Its regenerative ability was astonishing.

For ninjas, stamina was Chakra, and Chakra was stamina.

The two could be converted into each other.

The Troll Bloodline could compensate for Uchiha Gen's current lack of toughness. Its formidable regeneration would also let him recklessly push his body to extract more Chakra, allowing him to unleash greater combat power in a short time and fight for longer.

Although the Troll Bloodline had no further advancement path, Uchiha Gen could exchange for an S-Rank God Bloodline as a superior replacement. Not only would it grant tremendous combat power, but it could also increase the speed at which he unlocked the Gene Lock.

However, Uchiha Gen currently possessed one Rank A Side-Story Mission.

Following the principle of not splitting Side-Story Missions unnecessarily for exchanges, Uchiha Gen began filtering through the Main God List's Rank A one-time bloodlines and bloodlines that started at Rank A Enhancement.

"A-Rank Persona User Exchange greatly increases Mental Power and unlocks Persona abilities, the rudimentary form of the Light of the Soul. Its role overlaps with the Mangekyō Sharingan's ability to trigger the rudimentary form of the Light of the Soul. Excluded."

"Rank B One-Time Exchanges, Academy City Esper Development and Stand User activation, are both one-time exchanges that prematurely trigger the Light of the Soul. The Mangekyō Sharingan's special Dojutsu also belongs to the rudimentary stage of the Light of the Soul. If I find a way to unlock the Sharingan later, I can obtain it anyway. There's no need to waste reward points exchanging for it specifically."

"A-Rank Ajin maxes out survivability. It can revive even after being killed, but beyond that, it has no advantages. The combat power boost is far too weak—practically nonexistent."

"A-Rank Perfect Blood comes from the Underworld World. It can perfectly accommodate multiple bloodlines. With it, I could return to the Naruto World and upgrade my Uchiha bloodline into the Otsutsuki Bloodline, while gaining other Kekkei Genkai to improve my combat power."

"However, this is also the kind of thing that becomes a growth trap. And God Bloodlines, Saiyans, and Superman Bloodlines all possess similar abilities to accommodate lower-tier bloodlines."

"If I exchanged for this, then with my current Chunin-level combat power, it would be difficult to obtain materials that could be fused even if I returned to the Naruto World. But if I don't return to improve my strength, the Main God will teach me a lesson in the upcoming Horror movie worlds."

"Whether considering practicality or immediate combat power, it's useless."

By the end, Uchiha Gen found that there was only one A-Rank Bloodline truly suited to him.

The Saiyan Bloodline.

Saiyan Mutant Gene Bloodline, rating: 111 points. Suitable for Horror movies requiring close combat. Skill: Great Ape Transformation. Transforming into a Great Ape increases combat power tenfold. Every recovery from severe injury can stimulate one's potential and make one stronger. As this is a mutant bloodline, the exchanger has no tail weakness and will not lose rationality after transforming. Requires one Rank A Horror Movie Side-Story Mission and 15,000 reward points.

The Saiyan Bloodline provided by the Main God was the finest of its kind in the Infinite Multiverse.

Although it did not provide an energy circulation system, and he would need an additional exchange to acquire the ki of the Dragon Ball World, that was actually an advantage for Uchiha Gen. It would not conflict with the Chakra he already possessed.

Furthermore, the Saiyan Bloodline had strong compatibility. It could accommodate all lower-tier bloodlines and would not conflict with Uchiha Gen's Uchiha bloodline.

Beyond that, the Saiyan Bloodline would greatly improve Uchiha Gen's physical constitution, which would also cause his Chakra to surge dramatically and substantially increase his combat power.

Moreover, after exchanging for the Saiyan Bloodline, Uchiha Gen could transform into a Great Ape when faced with danger and raise his combat power tenfold in a desperate fight. Combined with the Sharingan and Gene Lock he expected to unlock, his burst-power abilities would be completely maxed out.

Although the Saiyan Bloodline was not especially tough either, as long as his combat power was high enough to kill his enemies first, there would be no need to worry about whether his survivability was strong enough.

Finally, considering future prospects, Saiyans possessed the trait of increasing their combat power after recovering from near-death injuries. Later, he could also exchange for an S-Rank Super Saiyan to further increase his strength.

Such an excellent exchange had no drawbacks besides being a little expensive.

Of course, that was not a flaw of the Saiyan Bloodline. It was Uchiha Gen's own flaw.

He was not rich enough.

"Reinforce Saiyan Bloodline."

At that moment, Uchiha Gen made his request to the Main God.

"Reinforcing this bloodline requires the deduction of one Rank A Side-Story Mission and 15,000 reward points from the Reincarnator. It has been detected that the Reincarnator already possesses the Uchiha bloodline. Reinforcing the Saiyan Bloodline has a high probability of producing a beneficial mutation. Proceed with reinforcement?"

The Main God's voice echoed in Uchiha Gen's mind.

"You already said it's a beneficial mutation, so why are you even asking?"

Uchiha Gen was speechless.

As he confirmed, the reward points were deducted, and a pillar of light enveloped his body and lifted him into the air.

At that moment, countless golden motes danced through the air, continuously sinking into Uchiha Gen's body and transforming his bloodline.

A comfortable sensation echoed through Uchiha Gen's mind, making him unable to resist falling asleep.

He did not know how long had passed before a voice jolted Uchiha Gen awake.

"Wife, come out and see God!"

At that moment, Zhang Jie shouted in stunned disbelief, his excited voice echoing across the Main God Space plaza.

"Is this what the Main God's bloodline reinforcement looks like?"

Zheng Zha, who had just reunited with his White Moonlight, had come to the Main God Space plaza intending to ask the Main God whether his White Moonlight, Luo Li, truly existed.

Now, he too stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Gen, who was receiving the Main God's reinforcement in the sky.

"This is too exaggerated. Will ours look like this when we get reinforced?"

Zhan Lan also had her mouth hanging open as she stared at Uchiha Gen in the sky, muttering to herself in disbelief.

"It wasn't nearly this exaggerated when I reinforced my physical attributes before. Looks like A-Gen exchanged for something extraordinary."

Zhang Jie explained.

Then, the three saw that the light radiated by the Main God had begun to dim, while Uchiha Gen's body slowly descended to the ground.
