Kizashi Haruno was an utterly ordinary Chunin. One glance was almost enough to see the limits of his talent and potential.
Even with the support of Shinichi's various traits, coupled with Kizashi's own desperate efforts, it was still hard to say whether he could ever reach the rank of a full-fledged Jonin.
Yet after discovering that Kizashi's blood actually showed faint signs of merging with the First Hokage's cells, Shinichi suddenly realized that this seemingly unremarkable man possessed quite a few unusual qualities.
First, Kizashi himself was one of the few society members who had signed up this time with three innate chakra natures: Yang, Earth, and Water.
Speaking of which, Shinichi remembered that in the original timeline, Kizashi's future daughter—Sakura Haruno, the heroine of the main era—also possessed Yang, Earth, and Water, with Yin thrown in as well.
Shinichi could not be completely certain whether Sakura had been born with those natures, but he figured it was highly likely.
After all, Sakura Haruno had never demonstrated any proficiency in Earth Release or Water Release in the anime, nor had she ever been shown learning either type of ninjutsu. Unless she had been born with them, it was difficult to explain why those natures appeared in her chakra composition.

During that wave of integration, aside from a small
