"The Sharingan... really was impressive."
As he gazed at Kakashi's Sharingan, Namikawa Yū could not help sighing inwardly.
In the Ninja World, the power of Kekkei Genkai was beyond question.
Even if a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai did nothing but grow up normally, their strength could still surpass that of many carefully trained ninja.
And within Konoha, the Sharingan was an especially renowned Kekkei Genkai for its power.
Or rather, in this world, practically anyone with an ocular technique was formidable, stronger than those with ordinary Kekkei Genkai.
The world of Naruto was also known as the Legend of the Eyes, which showed just how powerful this world's ocular techniques were.
"If possible, the next time I reincarnate, I should find a way to be born into a clan with a powerful bloodline."
As he walked along the road, Namikawa Yū's gaze grew deep. "That way, I could inherit the bloodline directly. That would be a viable approach."
The Otsutsuki Clan's power was beyond question. Even the traces of their bloodline they had left behind were extraordinarily powerful, far above ordinary mortals.
He had personally experienced Kaguya's and Hagoromo's power, so naturally, he had designs on the Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline as well.
If I had enough Reincarnation Points, going straight to that previous world and eating that already-ripened Chakra Fruit might be the best method.
Various thoughts flashed through Namikawa Yū's mind. But I don't have enough Reincarnation Points right now. It seems I'll have to find another way for the time being.
Besides, even if I'm going to eat a Chakra Fruit, a different starting point will still make a difference.
Even if both ate a Chakra Fruit, the effects would clearly differ between an ordinary mortal and someone like the Hagoromo Brothers, who were already close to pure-blooded Otsutsuki.
So no matter how he looked at it, Namikawa Yū needed to strengthen his original body first.
Ideally, he would attain an Otsutsuki Body before saving up enough points to go to that world.
Only then could he obtain the best effects from the Divine Tree Fruit, just as Kaguya had back then.
Aside from swallowing a Divine Tree Fruit, there's another way to obtain an Otsutsuki Body...
Namikawa Yū's eyes flickered. All Creation... the Senju and the Uchiha are clans that each inherited part of Hagoromo's power.
As long as I bring together Indra's and Asura's Power, then use the appropriate means, I could theoretically obtain part of Hagoromo's power.
In other words, the so-called Rinnegan...
Combining Indra's Power with Asura's Power was one of the most reliable ways to obtain the Rinnegan in this world.
Someone had already succeeded on this path. With Uchiha Madara as an example, there presumably would not be too many problems.
And if he could reach that point, he could already be said to possess a Six Paths Body, which was an Otsutsuki Body on another level.
Of course, for an ordinary person, achieving this was almost impossible.
After all, leaving aside how to combine Indra's and Asura's power, simply finding their chakra was already a major problem.
For Namikawa Yū, however, this problem was somewhat smaller.
To him, the identities of Indra's and Asura's reincarnations were essentially already out in the open.
Hashirama Cells...
Namikawa Yū gazed at an ancient tree in the distance as various thoughts flashed through his mind. First, I'll find a way to obtain them and integrate them into my body, then find a way to obtain Indra's chakra...
Integrating Hashirama Cells into one's body was extremely dangerous for an ordinary person.
But Namikawa Yū had some confidence in this.
His Reincarnation Panel possessed such an ability.
As long as something belonged to him, he could spend Reincarnation Points to improve and modify it, making it better suited to him.
That had been the case with Karma before, and naturally, he could do the same with Hashirama Cells.
Thinking of Reincarnation Points, Namikawa Yū also noticed something interesting.
The rate at which his Reincarnation Points grew seemed to have accelerated.
After leaving his reincarnation, his Reincarnation Points had continued to increase, only at a very slow rate.
Recently, however, the rate at which his Reincarnation Points grew had accelerated.
Recalling what he had done recently, Namikawa Yū could not help reaching a conclusion.
Kakashi Hatake...
He looked thoughtful. Something similar seemed to happen when I interacted with Obito before.
I thought it was a coincidence that time, but now it seems to involve some sort of mechanism.
He suspected that this was some kind of influence.
As he interacted with these characters who occupied a great deal of the original story, their fates would also be influenced by him to some extent, and that was ultimately converted into Reincarnation Points by the panel.
This was merely Namikawa Yū's personal speculation, but verifying it would actually be quite easy.
He only needed to try a few more times.
And so, Namikawa Yū began visiting Kakashi frequently.
His real purpose, naturally, was to test his theory.
This would not arouse any suspicion, either.
After all, he was currently a doctor. Showing concern for a patient was perfectly normal and not worth mentioning at all.
Every time they interacted, Kakashi wore that same cold expression, looking somewhat distant and dispirited at a glance. He barely paid attention to anyone else, simply sitting there alone in a daze.
Namikawa Yū did not mind. Each time, he simply smiled and carried on talking to Kakashi.
As time passed, he verified his suspicions.
The number of Reincarnation Points had indeed increased greatly, growing much faster than before.
This left Namikawa Yū deep in thought.
By the look of things, I should change my strategy.
Before this, to avoid attracting the attention of those around him and exposing himself to danger, he had always kept a low profile, rarely socializing outside his normal work.
But now, the situation seemed different.
Since Reincarnation Points came from influencing the fates of those around him, certain things had become necessary.
Even if that meant taking on some risk, it was undoubtedly worth it compared to the gains.
Of course, that was a matter for the future.
For now, the role Namikawa Yū had to play was ultimately that of a battlefield doctor.
For the next half month, his life was monotonous. Aside from secretly draining chakra in his spare time outside work, he visited Kakashi to help him work through his psychological problems.
Although Kakashi barely paid him any attention each time, Namikawa Yū did not mind. He simply treated him as a tool for farming points.
This life did not change until one particular day.
"Have Yū follow the squad to fight on the front lines?"
The middle-aged man from the medical department stared at the man before him, his face full of anger. "Are you kidding me?"
"He's only eight years old!"
"This is an order."
The man before him spoke flatly. "For Konoha, everyone must be prepared to be sacrificed."
"No matter who they are."
