Today is Nawaki's first birthday. Because a young man's soul hides within this tiny body, he has appeared exceptionally mature since birth, unlike any ordinary infant. By the time he was one month old, he had already learned to speak, and shortly thereafter, he learned to walk.
Although this is a world of superpowers filled with natural energy and chakra where people tend to mature early, ordinary infants take at least five or six months to learn to walk. As for conversing fluently... even for the Nara Clan, known for their high intelligence, their record-holder still required ten months to utter simple words.
In the eyes of his grandmother, Mito, Nawaki's astonishing performance is due to his physical and spiritual energy naturally far exceeding that of an ordinary person. Through secret sensory techniques, she has confirmed her judgment. She believes that Nawaki will surely become a great ninja when he grows up, because spiritual and physical energy are the foundations of chakra, and Nawaki's chakra reserves must be immense.
Mito did not share her discovery with anyone, and the members of the Senju Clan merely felt that their young clan heir was clever and healthy, maturing earlier than other children, which was nothing strange.
There are many geniuses in this world. For example, Nawaki's sister, Tsunade, graduated from the Ninja Academy at six to become a Genin, possessing strength far beyond the norm. Now, at only eleven, she already possesses the strength of a Jonin. By comparison, Nawaki's performance is considered normal. If they were to go around proclaiming him a genius based on these minor displays of talent, others in the village would only think that the Senju Clan, having lost two Hokage, had gone mad with the desire to rise again and was pinning their hopes on a newborn infant, inviting nothing but ridicule.
The Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan are close relatives; both are descendants of Asura, the son of the Sage of Six Paths. They inherited Asura's Yang Release Kekkei Genkai, so the people of both clans possess powerful physical energy and high talent for Yang Release.
However, the focus of their physical energy differs, as do their manifestations. The Senju Clan's Yang Release talent leans toward cellular vitality and regenerative capacity, which is why the First Hokage could rapidly recover from his own wounds and utilize the life-force-rich Wood Release.
The Uzumaki Clan's Yang Release talent focuses more on cellular density and life energy. Because they possess abundant life energy, they are very long-lived and have massive chakra reserves. Because their cellular density far exceeds that of ordinary people, they are adept at sealing techniques, even sealing the Nine-Tails within their own bodies to become Jinchuriki!
Although the Kekkei Genkai of the two clans appear similar—both being entities with powerful life force and massive chakra—their focuses are distinct!
Although Nawaki and his sister Tsunade possess the bloodlines of both clans, neither can perfectly maximize the respective advantages of the two, appearing relatively mediocre when combined.
Take Tsunade, for example. Although she inherited the Senju Clan's Yang Release talent and thus excels at medical ninjutsu—achieving astonishing results by creating the Strength of a Hundred Technique to rapidly recover from her own injuries—she cannot sustain it. She is far inferior to the First Hokage in terms of cellular vitality and regeneration, let alone being able to imbue chakra with life force to create Wood Release.
Relying on the Uzumaki Clan's Yang Release talent, Tsunade's chakra reserves are also very high; otherwise, she could not have graduated as a Genin at six, become a Jonin at eleven, and been hailed as one of the Sannin in her twenties, attaining Kage-level strength.
Furthermore, her physical strength is also outstanding. This can be seen from the fact that she can later use the Strength Enhancement Technique and Heavenly Foot to shatter mountains and split rocks at will, often causing the earth to crack. Without exceptional cellular density, her hands would have been ruined long ago; one must know that her disciple, Sakura, needs to wear special gloves when using the Strength Enhancement Technique to ensure she does not injure herself.
Yet, even so, she cannot use sealing techniques, nor could she become a Jinchuriki! One must remember that she is Mito's own granddaughter, yet she cannot perform high-level sealing techniques, and despite her strength as a Jonin, she could not become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
In contrast, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina, was not only adept at various sealing techniques but was also just a student who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy when she became a Jinchuriki!
Kushina was a war orphan and should have had a distant blood relation to Mito, at most being of the same clan, which is far removed from being a direct granddaughter like Tsunade. Since Kushina could inherit Mito's sealing legacy, why couldn't Tsunade?
In the original story, the reason Kushina could become a Jinchuriki was that Konoha had to deal with the impending Second Shinobi World War and maintain a balance of power with other villages. Since Mito's time was running out, they specifically brought in the young Kushina to be the Jinchuriki. If Tsunade, who already possessed the strength of an elite Jonin at the time, could have become the Jinchuriki, would Konoha have chosen a weak outsider to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? In fact, Kushina never even went to the battlefield and never fulfilled the responsibilities of a Jinchuriki; because she was weak, she was protected by Konoha the entire time.
The reason for all this is that Tsunade's Uzumaki bloodline was not pure enough, leading to cellular density and chakra reserves inferior to Kushina's. Thus, she could not use high-level sealing techniques, nor could she become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
In summary, although Tsunade inherited the Kekkei Genkai of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans, she could not push the advantages of these two bloodlines to the limit due to her impure lineage, and could only use the secondary powers of both, making her appear relatively mediocre.
As for Nawaki... given the identity and conditions of his original self, he remained a Genin after twelve years of diligent training and ultimately died in a paper bomb trap. No matter how one looks at it, he was a person of mediocre talent, even inferior to Tsunade.
However, the current Nawaki is completely different from his original self. He is a transmigrator, a transmigrator with a golden finger, a man who created his own system.
After spending 1,000 points of Wish Power to create the system with an artifact spirit as its core, he immediately had the system perform a full-body scan. Upon learning that his bloodline was impure, he spent 1,000 points of Wish Power through the Wish Power System to purify and optimize his bloodline and genes. This caused the two bloodlines within his body to fuse perfectly into one, granting him the Yang Release Kekkei Genkai of both clans simultaneously. His cellular vitality and density now far exceed those of ordinary people, and his potential is infinite; his current Kekkei Genkai can be called the Asura Bloodline. With his potential, as long as he trains diligently, he will certainly reach the same heights as Asura, and if given time, it is highly possible for him to master Wood Release.
Although Nawaki possesses the Asura Bloodline, unless he obtains the cells of his grandfather, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, he cannot fuse Water Release and Earth Release chakra to perform Wood Release ninjutsu in a short time. Wood Release is a chakra-attribute Kekkei Genkai that Hashirama Senju created after obtaining Asura's chakra, and Asura himself could not use Wood Release. Therefore, the Asura Bloodline is merely a prerequisite for practicing Wood Release. To use Wood Release, Nawaki must undergo long-term training, learn to control the ratio of Earth and Water Release chakra to fuse them into Wood Release chakra, and allow his body and cells to adapt to and contain Wood Release chakra before he can truly manifest the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
