On the other side, Yayoi also began his experiments for the day.

After being corrupted by Dragon Blood, the white mice would inevitably die violently, and small wild beasts couldn't withstand the erosion of Dragon Blood.

The artificial Deadpool Plan required other creatures as carriers for experimentation, so Yayoi temporarily set it aside.

What remained was researching the Uchiha Gene, followed by research on the Hyuga Clan's genes.

Yayoi pondered for a moment and decided to split into three Shadow Clones to begin researching the Uchiha Gene first.

He himself went into a reinforced room.

The walls were made of steel plates, and this bedroom had also been reinforced with special materials, leaving only a small window.

Yayoi decided to experiment with Word Spirits to explore the secrets of the elements.

Yes, elements existed in this world too; they were present between all things.

Without a medium, they could never be utilized.

Yayoi wanted to research elements, to understand the power of the Dragon Kings who controlled the authority of elements within the Dragon Race.

He even wanted to control that authority!

But for now, this was destined to be a long and tedious process.

To control authority, something so distant, Yayoi had much more to do.

Just deciphering Word Spirits, the language of the Dragon Race, required a vast amount of time.

Word Spirits were the language dragons used to control elements; they were commands. If Yayoi wanted to master the authority of elements, deciphering Word Spirits and Dragon Script was essential.

Controlling all authority – this grand plan.

Yayoi called it the Ascension Plan.

If this were his original world, it would be impossible, but in this Naruto world, which possessed the all-purpose energy of Chakra, there was indeed a glimmer of hope.

He would control all authority, strengthen the Ten-Tails bloodline within him to its peak, and attempt to devour the Ten-Tails, thereby perfecting the source of both bloodlines to the extreme.

This was a brand new path to godhood; the Ascension Plan was Yayoi's ambition.

First, he used his Mirror Eye to transcribe the Wind King Eye.

A gentle breeze rapidly swirled around him, the Wind Flow gradually expanding, drawing out oxygen. A small tornado began to form around Yayoi.

He tried his best to control the size of the tornado, keeping it within a manageable range.

When releasing the Word Spirits, he could clearly perceive the howling movements of the Wind Element and sense the resonance between Dragon Script and the elements.

Dragon Script was the switch for the elements.

Yayoi attempted to draw the elements into his body, capturing them with Chakra as they swirled around him.

However, Yayoi's expression turned pained and ferocious, and his body began to bleed externally.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after expelling the elements from his body.

He silently noted that elements were not suitable for storage.

Elemental power was different from Chakra; it was an omnipresent energy, at least omnipresent in the Ninja World.

It was difficult to utilize it through storage, unlike Chakra.

Yayoi's self-experimentation just now perfectly illustrated this point.

The Wind Element transformed into fine Wind Blades, cutting into Yayoi's body.

Because it was violent, if one were to draw it into their body, its rampage would need to be suppressed constantly.

It would be better to command the elements only when needed, just like with Word Spirits.

After completing his experiment, Yayoi walked out and returned to the laboratory.

He opened his computer and recorded his experimental data in a mix of Chinese and English.

Ascension Plan

1. Complete the Uchiha Gene. 2. Decipher Dragon Script. 3. Collect Tailed Beast Chakra. 4. Research Divine Technique (priority).

The first step was to complete the deficiencies in his own Divine Tree Bloodline, which was unquestionable.

The second step was the key to controlling elements.

The third step was also about collecting the pieces of the Ten-Tails. Although the Ten-Tails within him wasn't the true Ten-Tails, there might be unexpected surprises.

The fourth step could be considered something he needed to do recently; Yayoi needed to research this.

Regarding Divine Technique, it was a very mysterious thing.

It mainly involved absorbing Natural Energy. In the original plot, one needed to go to the three Great Sage Lands to learn from the three Immortals.

This step wasn't about completing a puzzle or anything, but rather a trump card Yayoi was looking for to save his life on the battlefield.

Therefore, his priority was the highest. After all, Yayoi estimated that there were at least five more years until his two bloodlines went out of control.

By then, he would have already graduated for a year and seen action on the battlefield.

If he died there, any grand plan would be in vain.

So, he was quite interested in things that could significantly boost his power.

"How to harness Natural Energy, that's a topic worth researching."

Yayoi made a note of it; this was his main research direction now.

"Yan, how has school been?"

The old man was kind and amiable. Even with a ferocious scar on his chin, Yan was not afraid at all.

This was an Elder of the Uchiha Clan, an old man who had survived the Warring States period.

At this moment, he spoke gently, as if treating a child of his own.

In reality, it was much the same. Yan's parents and clan had all died on the battlefield.

The old man's brother was Yan's grandfather. Now, Yan was his only remaining family.

Like remnants of an old era, living in the vast Konohagakure, he often felt lost, like a lone boat adrift in a heavy rain.

Only a thin thread connected him to Konoha.

That thread was his elder brother's granddaughter, his little granddaughter, Yan.

Yan had been very intelligent since childhood, with exceptional talent. Her hair color, inherited from a powerful figure in her lineage, made him believe his granddaughter would surely lead the Uchiha to their strongest point.

But times had changed, alas~

"Look at my memory, I didn't even pick you up today because it was raining."

The old man blamed himself.

"It's okay, Second Grandfather. Yayoi-kun brought me back."

Yan shook her head.

"Don't blame Second Grandfather."

"Was it that Senju?"

"It was Uesugi,"

Yan corrected him.

"Not a Senju?"

The old man was somewhat disbelieving. He had seen Yan's so-called friend from afar.

His keen intuition told him this child was not simple. Once, after Yan's school day, he had quietly followed her and discovered that the child was indeed unusual.

He knew Yan's talent well, yet this child could only fight her to a draw.

In terms of taijutsu, he could easily overpower Yan. His chakra was also immense, as if it would never run out.

All signs pointed to the other party being a Senju, but since his granddaughter said it wasn't, then it wasn't.

The previous statement still held true: times had changed.

He could sense that the current Konoha might no longer be the Konoha built by the Uchiha and Senju of the past.

The Senju had faded into obscurity, while the Uchiha were ascendant.

On the surface, they were Konoha's foremost clan, but their reputation was declining.

Although, as an Uchiha, he didn't care about the opinions of commoners or minor ninja clans, as people aged, they tended to have some concerns.

He put aside his Uchiha pride and discovered the root of the problem: due to the power of the Police Force, the Uchiha had become the object of the entire village's "disdain."

In the vast Konohagakure, there was no place for the Uchiha to belong, except within their own clan.

With the covetous eyes of the higher-ups, coupled with their own arrogance and prejudice, it was impossible for the Uchiha to wholeheartedly integrate into the village.
