Deep Blue Stat Allocation

"System, what is the growth of the Sage Body related to? How should I increase my Sage Body?" Uchiha Ying Yue asked in his heart, his tone filled with a longing for discovery.

A moment later, the system's response echoed in his mind:

[Host, the growth of the Sage Body is related to multiple factors, the most important of which is aptitude. Originally, Asura inherited the Sage Body of the Sage of Six Paths, forming the later Senju Clan, while Indra inherited the Sage Eye of the Sage of Six Paths, forming the Uchiha Clan. The closer one's bloodline is to the Sage of Six Paths, the greater the aptitude for awakening and enhancing the Sage Body.]

The system's answer made Uchiha Ying Yue understand the close connection between the Sage Body and bloodlines.

As the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths, Asura and Indra inherited the powers of the Sage Body and the Sage Eye respectively, and the Senju and Uchiha clans are the continuations of these two forces.

[Take Senju Hashirama, the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, for example; his innate aptitude for the Sage Body would not be low. With the growth of his body, the increase in chakra quality, and the unconscious absorption of natural energy, it is easy to awaken the Sage Body to over 80%, and subsequently awaken Wood Release naturally.]

This statement allowed Uchiha Ying Yue to further understand why Senju Hashirama could master Wood Release so easily.

Hashirama not only possessed extremely high Sage Body aptitude due to his bloodline and chakra, but he could also absorb natural energy unconsciously, causing his Sage Body to continuously strengthen until it reached a level above 80%, allowing him to awaken Wood Release naturally and exert powerful strength.

"System, what is my aptitude? To what extent can I awaken the Sage Body?"

[The host's aptitude is above average within the Senju Clan. With physical growth and personal training, you can awaken about 40% of the Sage Body's potential. Most members of the Senju Clan can only reach 20%-30%, while a few geniuses with very high aptitude, such as Tsunade, can reach over 60%.]

[Most members of the Senju Clan do not have the potential to awaken a high-level Sage Body, and naturally, they do not have the potential to awaken Wood Release.]

After listening to the system's explanation, Uchiha Ying Yue had a more objective understanding of his own aptitude.

Uchiha Ying Yue understood that although he belonged to the above-average category within the Senju Clan, there was still a certain gap compared to the top geniuses.

Even so, Uchiha Ying Yue still possessed a relatively high potential for Sage Body awakening, which could reach about 40%, far exceeding that of ordinary Senju clansmen.

This meant that through continuous cultivation and growth, Uchiha Ying Yue did indeed have the opportunity to further improve his Sage Body, but to reach the height of Senju Hashirama, relying solely on his own aptitude was not enough.

The system also revealed a key point: most members of the Senju Clan did not have the potential to awaken a high-level Sage Body, which is why they could not naturally awaken Wood Release.

This explained why Senju Hashirama could become the legendary "God of Shinobi," while other Senju clansmen found it difficult to reach his height.

As one of the few geniuses capable of reaching over 60% Sage Body, Tsunade was also famous for her powerful chakra and recovery abilities, but she had never awakened Wood Release, which further illustrated the close correlation between a high-level Sage Body and Wood Release capabilities.

Facing the realistic data provided by the system, Uchiha Ying Yue could not help but feel a trace of disappointment in his heart.

Although Uchiha Ying Yue knew his aptitude was not bad, there was still a clear gap compared to a legend like Senju Hashirama.

Uchiha Ying Yue was unwilling to accept this; did this gap mean he was destined to be unable to master such powerful Wood Release strength?

Uchiha Ying Yue could not help but ask the system in his heart, his tone tinged with anxiety and reluctance: "Is it destined that I cannot possess Wood Release as powerful as Senju Hashirama's? System, is there really no other way?"

[Host, you can use another ability of the system, which is a template left behind by one of your predecessors who transmigrated.]

[Deep Blue Enhancement]

Hearing this new term, Uchiha Ying Yue's heart stirred, and he immediately checked the introduction of the ability as the system unfolded a detailed explanation before him.

[I owe my achievements today entirely to my own hard work and talent. Deep Blue! Enhance!! -- A certain predecessor]

[Deep Blue Enhancement can improve the host's various attributes by directly "enhancing" them. Whether it is chakra volume, chakra quality, Sage Body awakening, Sharingan pupil power, or taijutsu ability, they can all be enhanced by consuming Destiny Points, thereby achieving rapid improvement.]

[Note: The effect of the enhancement is immediate, but as the difficulty of improvement increases, the required Destiny Points will also increase exponentially. At the same time, the Destiny Points required to enhance overly powerful abilities are also very high; this is the equivalent exchange of destiny.]

Seeing the description of this ability, hope ignited in Uchiha Ying Yue's heart. It turned out that the system had hidden such a powerful function—"Deep Blue Enhancement"!

By enhancing, Uchiha Ying Yue could directly improve his various attributes and even compensate for his lack of aptitude.

"This might be the key for me to break through the limitations of my aptitude!" Uchiha Ying Yue thought excitedly in his heart.

However, Uchiha Ying Yue also understood that although this ability was powerful, it required consuming a large amount of Destiny Points, and as his attributes improved, the required Destiny Points would become more and more.

He needed to use them cautiously to ensure the efficient utilization of his Destiny Points.

Uchiha Ying Yue currently possessed 2260 Destiny Points. Although 2260 points were not a small amount, they might be far from enough for future enhancement needs.

Therefore, he needed to reasonably plan the use of these Destiny Points and prioritize improving the attributes most critical to his combat effectiveness.

After some thought, Uchiha Ying Yue decided to first use his Destiny Points to improve his Sage Body awakening level.

The Sage Body was the foundation of Wood Release's power and the key to improving chakra quality and vitality.

He hoped that through enhancement, he could get as close to Senju Hashirama's level as possible.

"System, use 'Deep Blue Enhancement' to improve Sage Body awakening." Uchiha Ying Yue issued the command in his heart.

Uchiha Ying Yue then invested one thousand Destiny Points into the enhancement of his Sage Body.

[Sage Body awakening level improved: Current 21% → 31% (Consumed 1000 Destiny Points)]

With this enhancement, Uchiha Ying Yue clearly felt the power within his body become more potent.

His Sage Body awakening level had increased by 10% all at once, and his physical fitness, chakra quality, and vitality had all improved significantly.

He felt his chakra flowing more smoothly, and his body's recovery ability had also been noticeably enhanced.

His entire being seemed more closely connected to the natural world, and his Wood Release power became more refined. Uchiha Ying Yue then decided to invest another one thousand Destiny Points.

[Sage Body awakening level improved: Current 31% → 36% (Consumed 1000 Destiny Points)]

However, when Uchiha Ying Yue invested another one thousand Destiny Points, he discovered that the extent of this improvement was only 5%. Although this enhancement still brought an increase to his Sage Body, the effect was clearly not as significant as the first time.

Uchiha Ying Yue frowned slightly. He clearly realized that as the Sage Body awakening level increased, the Destiny Points required for further increases would also grow exponentially.

In other words, the closer one got to a high-level Sage Body, the more Destiny Points were required, and the greater the difficulty of improvement became.
