Handing the Yakushi mother and son over to Orochimaru hadn't taken Uchiha Yuzhen much time.
After watching Orochimaru and the others leave, Yuzhen found an open space and decided to take a few minutes to see what affixes he had gained.
With a thought, he looked at the panel. His attention was immediately drawn to Orochimaru's affix!
[Spirit Grid: Prodigy (Red)]: You displayed extraordinary intelligence from a young age. At the peak of your life, you will uncover the secrets of the gods—and become one of them!
Effects:
· Super-Domain Amplification to analytical ability
· Super-Domain Amplification to creativity, insight, and learning ability
· Can devour lower-ranked Spirit Ranks to amplify affix effects
Note: This affix is in a "Dragon-Snake Deviation" state. Its amplification effect is greater when applied to fields related to "Dragon" or "Snake"!
"Whoa? As expected, it's an ability related to intelligence!"

Seeing the effects of this Red Trait, Uchiha Yuzhen immediately felt relieved.
The boosts to analytical ability, creativity, insight, and learning ability were indeed Orochimaru's core strengths.
And the Red Trait's description said that, at the peak of one's life, they could uncover the secrets of the gods...
That was no exaggeration!
Orochimaru's later method for achieving immortality, which Hashirama had perfected, was honestly no worse than the Otsutsuki's Karma!
Both involved placing a mark on someone, compressing one's information into chakra, then overwriting the marked person with that information and taking over their body.
The principles were practically identical!
Wasn't that uncovering the secrets of the gods? And needless to say, Orochimaru, who had already achieved immortality, would surely keep improving the ability as he
