Rogge Otsutsuki's Plan

Rogge stared intently at the chakra test paper in his hand. It first wrinkled, then became damp, split down the middle, faint scorch marks appearing on its surface, before finally shattering outright.

This undoubtedly showed that Rogge's body possessed all five chakra nature transformations: earth, water, wind, fire, and lightning!

As for the remaining yin and yang natures, they were rather special, so chakra test paper could not detect them.

However, Rogge guessed that he definitely possessed yin nature. Why?

Hehe, because he had just obtained an incredibly cool pair of Straight-Tomoe Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!

As for whether he had yang nature... Rogge was not so sure.

"Whatever. If I have it, I have it. If not, forget it." Rogge waved a hand casually and stopped dwelling on it.

Then, he leisurely entered the mysterious chamber resembling a "scripture repository." Put simply, it was a storage room for ninjutsu scrolls.

The room contained common B-rank and lower ninjutsu.

There were quite a few fire-style and wind-style techniques, while water-style and earth-style techniques were relatively fewer. Lightning-style techniques were even scarcer.

There was not a single yin-style or yang-style technique.

In fact, Konoha Hidden Village did possess yin-style and yang-style ninjutsu. They simply were not kept here.

Yin-nature chakra was mainly associated with spiritual energy, while yang-nature chakra, its counterpart, was primarily tied to physical energy.

Yin-nature chakra techniques were generally related to creation, genjutsu, and mental ninjutsu, whereas yang-nature chakra techniques were closely connected to enhancing physical abilities and healing.

Yang-nature chakra brimmed with powerful strength and vitality. It could stimulate a ninja's physical potential and improve explosive power and endurance.

In battle, yang-nature chakra could greatly boost a ninja's attack and defense, allowing them to better withstand enemy attacks.

Representative yang-nature chakra techniques included the Akimichi Clan's Expansion Jutsu, the extremely powerful medical ninjutsu Mystical Palm Technique, and the Senju Clan's Monstrous Strength Ninjutsu, among others.

Tsunade's "Forbidden Technique—Yin Seal: Creation Rebirth—Strength of a Hundred Seal" contained the words "Yin Seal" in its name, but it was actually a medical ninjutsu derived from yang-nature chakra transformation.

Therefore, ninjutsu powered by yang-nature chakra was incredibly potent and highly destructive.

Its counterpart was the nature transformation of yin-nature chakra.

Yin-nature chakra transformations could create the form of matter from "nothing," such as the Nara Clan's Shadow Possession Technique and the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Body Switch Technique.

In the original Naruto: Shippuden, the Nara Clan's Shadow Binding Technique and all genjutsu fell within the scope of yin-nature chakra.

After Naruto Uzumaki obtained the power of the Six Paths, he could freely use yin-style and yang-style chakra nature transformations, allowing him to master the Truth-Seeking Orbs. He also used yin-style's creative properties and yang-style's healing properties to forcibly save Might Guy, who was on the verge of death after opening the Gate of Death.

"Excellent. Next, I need to find a way to obtain Teacher Tsunade's Monstrous Strength Ninjutsu, as well as the Nara Clan's Shadow Binding Technique!" Excitement gleamed in Rogge's eyes.

"After that, I'll collect the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts, just like Akatsuki!" Rogge clenched his fist, his fighting spirit blazing.

"I'll see whether I can fuse together some Truth-Seeking Orbs!"

If Rogge wanted to create Truth-Seeking Orbs and activate Six Paths Mode, the most difficult method would be:

First, he had to master yin-style and yang-style techniques and simultaneously possess earth, water, wind, fire, and lightning chakra nature transformations.

Second, he had to possess the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts—though he would not need all of it; a portion of each beast's chakra would suffice—learn senjutsu, and cultivate a sage body.

Third, he had to use the characteristics of his sage body and the power of senjutsu chakra to thoroughly integrate the seven chakra nature transformations he had mastered.

That way, Rogge could create his own Truth-Seeking Orbs like the Sage of Six Paths once had, and activate "Rogge Mode."

Of course, there were also two relatively easier methods through which a ninja could obtain Truth-Seeking Orbs and activate Six Paths Mode.

The first and simplest was to receive a gift from the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, just as Naruto Uzumaki had. It was like directly installing a cheat—safe and painless.

The second was to follow Madara Uchiha's example: first absorb Hashirama Senju's senjutsu chakra, allowing the Hashirama Cells in one's chest to activate Sage Mode through yang-style, while also possessing a pair of Rinnegan like those of the Sage of Six Paths through yin-style, and finally become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki.

That way, one could successfully activate Six Paths Mode like the Sage of Six Paths once had and automatically obtain Truth-Seeking Orbs.

Lastly, there was a special kind of Truth-Seeking Orb: the special Truth-Seeking Orbs used by Toneri Otsutsuki after activating Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

Of course, those special Truth-Seeking Orbs were forcibly created through the Tenseigan. Once the Tenseigan was lost, the special Truth-Seeking Orbs could no longer be used.

Inside the ninjutsu scroll storage room, Rogge selected one technique from each of the five natures and spent over an hour committing them to memory.

He planned to return home and train properly, starting with the most basic earth-style, water-style, wind-style, fire-style, and lightning-style techniques to activate his body's five chakra nature transformations.

Then would come the cultivation of yin-style, yang-style, and senjutsu chakra.

Finally, he would gather portions of chakra from all nine Tailed Beasts and store them in his body, becoming a "pseudo Ten-Tails jinchuriki," then attempt to create Truth-Seeking Orbs and activate "Rogge Mode"!

Those were Rogge's goals for the future!

"It's time to leave." Rogge exited the ninjutsu scroll storage room with a satisfied expression and arrived at the central control room where missions were issued and handed in.

"Tiger, I'm heading back first."

Tiger was browsing mission information on the work list. Hearing Rogge's words, he replied without turning around, "Alright. I won't see you off."

Once he returned to the surface of Konoha, Rogge took off his black cloak and mask in an empty alley, sighing, "Joining ANBU really was the right choice."

"Not only did I openly enter the ANBU base and successfully check in to obtain a pair of Straight-Tomoe Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, greatly increasing my overall strength, but I also acquired methods for cultivating the five chakra nature transformations. This will be enormously helpful for my future as Rogge Otsutsuki!"

Rogge chuckled foolishly.

Then, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported directly home.

With a whoosh.

In an instant, Rogge found himself surrounded by two gazes.

Kushina and Tsunade sat facing each other, both staring at Rogge in surprise as he suddenly appeared.

"Why are you in my house?" Rogge was equally bewildered. He had clearly locked the door!

He glanced toward the entryway and discovered that his front door had fallen over, apparently kicked down by someone.

Kushina immediately stood up and said angrily, "Rogge! You actually lied to me yesterday!"

Rogge instantly felt awkward and cast a glance at Tsunade.

He found Tsunade wearing a half-smile, looking thoroughly entertained by his misfortune.

It's over... Tsunade must have told Kushina about how I disguised myself as Rogge's older brother, "Roger," yesterday.

Rogge scratched his head, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Um... Kushina, don't be angry. I was only playing a little joke."

But Kushina refused to let it go. "A joke? Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? And you lied to me!"

Rogge hurried over to Kushina's side and said softly, "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please don't be angry, alright?"

Kushina turned her head away. "Hmph. I'm not going to forgive you that easily."

At that moment, Tsunade gave a light cough and said, "Alright, Kushina. Rogge knows he was wrong. Be magnanimous and forgive him this once."

Kushina looked at Tsunade, then at Rogge. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Fine, I'll forgive you this time. But if you dare lie to me again, I'll never speak to you again."

Rogge breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I promise. There definitely won't be a next time."

However, the atmosphere did not become any more relaxed because of that.

The three of them stood there, none knowing what to say for a while.

Rogge's heart was filled with unease. He did not know why Tsunade and Kushina had appeared in his home at the same time, nor did he know what would happen next.

Tsunade seemed to notice Rogge's unease. She smiled slightly and said, "Rogge, I came because there's something I need to discuss with you."

Rogge's heart tightened. "What is it?"

Tsunade glanced at Kushina before saying, "It's about that mysterious masked man. We think it's necessary to discuss it carefully again and see whether we can find more clues."

Rogge relaxed and nodded. "Alright. I've been thinking about that too."

Thus, the three of them sat down and began seriously discussing the mysterious masked man.

Kushina asked, "Rogge, you suddenly grew up all at once."

Rogge smiled. "Yeah! According to what that masked man said, my body has matured now. I'm probably around eighteen."

When Tsunade heard the word "matured," a hint of shyness appeared on her face, as though she had recalled something pleasant.

As the discussion went deeper, Rogge gradually forgot his earlier awkwardness and unease. Instead, he almost wanted to laugh.

That mysterious masked man you're talking about is actually me. Kidnapping Tsunade was a little performance I staged with a Shadow Clone. Hahahaha... Rogge secretly let out a classic villainous laugh in his heart.

The sensation of acting as the mastermind behind the scenes and playing everyone in the palm of his hand made Rogge feel incomparably satisfied.

This was the proper way for a transmigrator to begin!

The two-dimensional paper people of the ninja world were nothing more than NPCs for his amusement and entertainment.

The Will of Fire, the Eye of the Moon Plan—what nonsense. They were merely ways for Rogge to pass the time and have fun.

It had to be said that ever since Rogge's strength had reached the super-Kage level, his arrogance and prejudice as a transmigrator had grown stronger and stronger.

For example, just as he had arranged Tsunade's kidnapping and toyed with her, he actually had no romantic feelings toward Tsunade at all.

He merely wanted to fulfill the chuunibyou fantasy he had been unable to realize in his previous life in the three-dimensional world: knocking down Teacher Tsunade and forcing himself on her... hehe.

Before they knew it, a long time had passed.

By the time they finally stopped, it was already dark outside.

Kushina stretched and said, "Ah, after talking for so long, I'm hungry."

Rogge smiled. "Then I'll make something for you two to eat."

Tsunade's eyes lit up. "I've never tasted Rogge's cooking before."

Kushina nodded as well. "Then we'll leave it to you."

Rogge walked into the kitchen and began bustling about.

When Rogge brought out the finished dishes, both Kushina and Tsunade wore surprised expressions.

"I didn't expect you really could cook, Rogge. It even looks pretty good." Tsunade smiled in surprise.

Rogge smiled somewhat sheepishly. "They're just simple dishes. Try them."

Thus, the three of them gathered around the table and began eating.
