A Thousand Hands Visit

Uchiha Ying Yue frowned slightly. He realized clearly that as the awakening level of his Sage Body increased, the Destiny points required for further progress would grow exponentially.

In other words, the closer he got to a high-level Sage Body, the more Destiny points he would need, and the harder it would become to improve.

If he relied solely on the Deep Blue system to boost his Sage Body, the cost in Destiny points would likely be prohibitively high. Ying Yue decided to focus more on accumulating Destiny points while exploring ways to cultivate natural energy to assist the growth of his Sage Body.

Ying Yue had already felt the power brought by the Sage Body, but he needed more resources and opportunities to truly push it to its limit.

Following this, Uchiha Ying Yue opened his attribute panel to observe the changes in his stats.

[Character: Uchiha Ying Yue]

[Identity: Ninja Academy Student]

[Bloodline: Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan]

[Kekkei Genkai: Sage Body 36%, Sharingan (Unawakened) Pupil Power 72%, Wood Release]

[Chakra: 2800 (2.8 Kage)]

[Special Ability: Ninja World Dance King]

[Ninjutsu: Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Uchiha Style Taijutsu, Uchiha Style Shurikenjutsu]

[Destiny Points: 260]

After sensing the significant increase in his chakra and Sharingan pupil power, Uchiha Ying Yue was filled with confusion.

He knew that strengthening his Sage Body would increase his power, but he hadn't expected this boost to not only add 1300 points to his chakra but also bring his Sharingan pupil power to 72%.

Surprised, Ying Yue immediately asked the system for the reason.

"System, why is my pupil power growing so quickly?" Ying Yue asked in his mind.

The system's response came quickly, providing a deeper explanation:

[Host, the Sage Body and the Sage Eye complement each other; powerful physical strength supports the further enhancement of spiritual power. Conversely, without a strong physical foundation, excessively powerful spiritual energy can cause a backlash because the body cannot sustain it. As the saying goes, "Isolated Yin cannot grow, solitary Yang cannot flourish," and "Without Yang, Yin cannot be born; without Yin, Yang cannot transform." To achieve the power of the Ten Thousand Phenomena, one must combine extreme Yin and Yang.]

The system's explanation made everything clear to Ying Yue.

Uchiha Ying Yue understood that improving the Sage Body didn't just strengthen his physical form; it also promoted the growth of his spiritual power in return.

Physical and spiritual strength complemented each other, forming a dynamic balance.

It was precisely because of the Sage Body's improvement that his body could better withstand and support his powerful spiritual energy, which directly led to the natural rise of his Sharingan pupil power.

Ying Yue continued to press: "So, it is the increase in the Sage Body's physical strength that leads to the increase in Sharingan pupil power?"

The system provided further clarification:

[Not only that, the Host's soul is far stronger than that of an ordinary person. Due to special circumstances, the Host's soul merged with a counterpart from another dimension, causing the Host's spiritual power to grow much faster than others. The natural growth of your pupil power is also a result of this.]

Hearing this, Ying Yue felt a sense of astonishment and contemplation.

He hadn't expected his soul to have merged with a counterpart from another dimension; this unique experience had made his spiritual power far exceed that of a normal person.

Therefore, on the foundation of the Sage Body, the growth of his pupil power had become even more rapid and natural.

Ying Yue understood that this boost in pupil power would bring a massive advantage in future battles.

The Sharingan could not only enhance his dynamic vision, insight, and copying abilities, but it could also evolve into higher forms in the future, such as the Mangekyou Sharingan or even the Rinnegan.

The balance and improvement of both spiritual and physical power would give him greater potential to master these powerful ocular techniques.

Ying Yue decided to continue focusing on the balance between physical and spiritual strength in his future training, particularly by using Sage Body cultivation to further enhance his physical power, thereby driving the continuous growth of his pupil power.

Uchiha Ying Yue realized that mastering the balance between the two poles of Yin and Yang would be the key to achieving the power of the Ten Thousand Phenomena in the future.

The system's explanation has made my future direction much clearer, Ying Yue thought to himself. I must further improve my Sage Body while continuing to cultivate and train my spiritual power to ensure they remain balanced. That way, my Sharingan will become even stronger.

Early the next morning, as the sun began to rise, sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the training ground, and dew sparkled like crystals on the grass.

Uchiha Ying Yue stood on the training ground, his gaze focused and determined, every movement of his body steady and fluid.

Suddenly, Ying Yue heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching from a distance. He stopped his movements, turned around, and asked softly, "Who is there?"

As he spoke, an elderly man with a spirited demeanor walked slowly into the training ground.

He wore the traditional robes of a Senju clan elder, his sleeves fluttering with a unique, distinguished air.

This man was the elder of the Senju clan—Senju Mufeng.

His steps were steady and powerful, as if every stride contained the weight of years and the accumulation of wisdom.

His arrival brought a solemn atmosphere that commanded respect.

Senju Mufeng walked up to Uchiha Ying Yue, a kind smile appearing on his face as he said gently, "Good morning, Ying Yue. I am Senju Mufeng, an elder of the Senju clan. I have come specifically to have a word with you today."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ying Yue bowed respectfully. A flash of confusion crossed his eyes, but he answered earnestly, "Elder Senju Mufeng, good morning! May I ask what brings you here today?"

Senju Mufeng waved his hand lightly, signaling that Ying Yue need not be so formal, and said with a smile, "No need for such formalities, Ying Yue. Our conversation today is of great importance, and I hope you will listen carefully. I have come because I hope you can help us revive the Senju clan. Our family was once glorious, but now we face difficulties and are in urgent need of ambitious individuals like you to restore our honor."

Ying Yue straightened his posture and replied solemnly, "Elder Senju Mufeng, please rest assured. If it is within my power, I will certainly do my utmost to help. However, what exactly do you need me to do?"

Senju Mufeng nodded, looking at Uchiha Ying Yue with satisfaction, and continued, "First, I hope you will carry on the bloodline of the Senju clan. Your body flows with the blood of the Senju, and you possess the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai; this is the pride of our family. I believe that as long as you are willing, you will surely be able to raise excellent descendants and continue the glory of the Senju clan."

"Secondly, I hope you can rebuild the Senju clan. When Konoha was founded, our Senju clan was a major pillar of the village. Unfortunately, after the passing of Lord Senju Hashirama and Lord Senju Tobirama, our talent gradually withered. The new generation of Senju struggled to maintain the clan's strength. To avoid unnecessary covetousness, and in accordance with the wishes of Lords Hashirama and Tobirama, we dissolved the clan and integrated into the village."
