After absorbing five percent of the Otsutsuki bloodline, the first thing Qiushui noticed was a change in his vision. The image before him became astonishingly clear, and the colors grew far more vivid. He could even see the faint flows of life energy in the air with his naked eyes.
Then a persistent, mild ache spread through his bones, most noticeable in his spine and the long bones of his limbs. At the same time, his skin became much more sensitive to touch. He could clearly feel even the gentlest breeze brushing against his body hair.
His body also began involuntarily absorbing tiny amounts of Natural Energy from the surrounding environment. It felt as though he were constantly enveloped by a warm current of water.
Next, a wealth of knowledge and memories about training in Thunder Breathing surfaced in his mind. Just as with the Water Breathing he had received earlier, it had been adapted into Taijutsu.
Qiushui considered the matter. He remembered that Uchiha Sasuke had a Lightning affinity, and that Sasuke was even more proficient in training with Lightning Release than with Fire Release. He could teach him this Taijutsu later, depending on how things went.
As for the final reward, the Talent Aura had advanced from beginner to intermediate. In addition to its original effects, it now made it easier for talented students to understand explanations of various Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Sealing Jutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and genjutsu.
