Power Progression
Original Su Ye / Ōtsutsuki Yuya
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Powerless infant | 1 3 | Arrives without special energy or the physical ability to defend himself. His choice system initially offers rewards he cannot safely obtain. |
| Charm increase | 4 | Receives Charm +1 for smiling innocently at Kaguya; the reward further refines his features and bearing. |
| Initial water affinity | 6 | Absorbs a trace of water-aspected natural energy, gaining slightly improved recovery, greater agility in water, and a hidden Physique +0.1. |
| Water Drop Splash, level 1 | 6 | Activates his first documented water skill. The completed mission raises water-affinity mastery to 10% and grants Spirit +1. |
| One-tomoe Sharingan | 7 | Awakens at age three while meditating on the interaction between his inner energy and water. Improved perception initially comes with severe spiritual exhaustion. |
| Approximately Jonin-level | 8 | At age five, combines enhanced physical abilities, Sharingan perception, and water and fire techniques. Jonin level is his own estimate; Kaguya compares him to a second-tier Ōtsutsuki. |
| Taijutsu increase | 10 | Completes a system quest by comforting Qingyi with a head pat. |
| Source Fruit enhancement; Prophecy and Time | 15 | Eats Kaguya’s Source Fruit, increasing his chakra and briefly manifesting a unique Mangekyō. His young body cannot sustain the resulting visions. |
| Gale Sword Technique, B-rank | 15 | A swordsmanship reward and accumulated practice culminate in his first self-created sword technique. |
| Comprehension increase; Izanagi | 16 | Accepting the national contest earns Comprehension +1, reduces ocular-technique costs, and lets him understand Izanagi. |
| Gale Sword Technique refinement | 17 | Gains a minor epiphany while demonstrating the technique to Musashi and his attendants. |
| Rasengan and Big Ball Rasengan | 22 | Masters chakra rotation and shape transformation almost immediately, including the more difficult task of safely dispersing the technique. |
| Taijutsu +10; Gale Sword Technique, A-rank | 22 | Intensive training improves his control over his neglected physical strength and upgrades his sword technique. |
| Observation Haki | 23 | Receives the reward for his public claim that he likes men, gaining another means of sensing people and danger. |
| Sage Body | 23 24 | Earns the constitution through a provocative system choice involving Kaguya; its transformation completes during forest training. |
| Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, S-rank | 24 | Extraordinary comprehension lets him master the technique and reshape its wind chakra into several weapon forms. |
| Wind Release flight | 25 | Demonstrates sustained flight through precise chakra control, though the method consumes substantial chakra. |
| Mount Myōboku Sage Mode | 33 | Comprehends a mode granting 50-fold perception, 10-fold increases to listed physical and ninjutsu attributes, and a senjutsu-chakra production rate of 10. |
| New Sage Mode | 33 | Develops a more complete version with 100-fold perception and attribute multipliers and a senjutsu-chakra production rate of 100. |
| Wood, Ice, Lava, and Boil Release | 33 | Understanding natural energy makes combinations of chakra natures instinctive, allowing him to comprehend four kekkei genkai. |
| Flying Thunder God; Instant, SS-rank | 39 | Obtains Flying Thunder God but cannot sense its required spatial nodes. He reworks its principles into Instant, a technique suited to his own abilities. |
| Tsukuyomi and Susanoo | 41 | Winning the ranking tournament grants Tsukuyomi. His improved genjutsu understanding also lets him comprehend Susanoo. |
| Integrated dōjutsu combat | 49 | Prolonged combat against Seimei’s shikigami develops his partial Susanoo manifestations, Amaterasu combinations, and coordinated use of Tsukuyomi, clones, and Time Binding. |
| Rinne Sharingan | 59 | Already possesses the eye by this chapter and integrates Heavenly Secrets Calculation into it, allowing direct observation of past, future, and karmic connections. The acquisition itself is not shown in the supplied passages. |
| Six Paths peak | 78 | Retrospectively confirmed to have reached the chakra system’s peak after consuming a second Chakra Fruit. |
| Dao Inquiry | 75 89 | Converts his ocular and natural-energy insights into cultivation progress, surpasses chakra’s ceiling, and sweeps through the Ōtsutsuki. He remains unable to withstand the Ancient Tree at this stage. |
| Immortal-level cultivation | 87 | Reaches a level several realms above Six Paths after sealing himself within the moon for a thousand years of seclusion. |
| Heaven-Stepping Third Realm | 89 | His rise consumes the Naruto world’s accumulated fortune, depleting it and leaving him with a major karmic debt. |
Later Su Ye Incarnation
This incarnation inherits memories and knowledge, not unrestricted access to Yuya’s full power. Its recovery is distinct from the original body’s cultivation history 157 177.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Newly manifested incarnation | 157 | One of hundreds of millions created from the remaining energy of Yuya’s Earth-protecting Dao body. |
| Energy-depleted ordinary body | 158 159 | Exhausts his last energy saving Hoshizuki. He cannot produce even simple supernatural effects and must rely on her protection. |
| System construction | 167 168 | Chooses an irreversible sign-in system, then learns that intense character obsessions are needed to complete its model within three days. |
| Obsession absorption | 170 | Extracts Hiashi’s obsession and glimpses fragmentary memories of his attachment to Hoshizuki. |
| Sign-in system awakened; Tenseigan | 172 | Activates the completed system and receives the Tenseigan from signing in at the Hyuga Clan. |
| Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan | 176 177 | Signs in at the Uchiha compound. Selects space for his left eye and time for his right eye. |
| Level ninety-nine | 178 | Reveals this level during the Uchiha spiritual-power demonstration while manifesting an enormous Susanoo. |
| Rinnegan | 180 | Signs in at the Heavenly Emperor Statue; its remaining divine presence and accumulated faith empower and transform his Eternal Mangekyō. |
| Additional clan techniques | 185 | Further check-ins grant Mind Body Switch, the Aburame Kikaichū technique, and Shadow Possession Jutsu. |
Background / History
Arrival and Adoption
Su Ye transmigrates into the ancient Land of Ancestors as a baby, falling directly onto Kaguya’s face during her confrontation with Isshiki. His knowledge of the Naruto story does not give him a practical defense against either Ōtsutsuki, and Isshiki immediately orders his death 1 2.
After Kaguya’s apparent victory over Isshiki, she also considers killing the unexplained child. Unable to speak, Su Ye reaches toward her and smiles rather than attempting the system’s verbal options. Kaguya interprets the gesture as trust, abandons the attack, and promises to keep him beside her. She subsequently gives him a name, after which he is known as Ōtsutsuki Yuya 3 4 13.
Childhood and Rule
Kaguya raises and trains Yuya. He deliberately calls her “Big sis” rather than “Mom,” resisting a strictly mother-and-child definition of their bond. Their travels eventually bring them to land suitable for planting the God Tree near Ancestor City 7 8.
Following their takeover of the Land of Ancestors, Yuya spends three years governing while Kaguya remains apart from him. His pavilion network, agricultural improvements, clothing production, music, and games transform ordinary life. His identities as Crown Prince, pavilion leader, and musician initially attract separate followings before Qingyi reveals that they belong to the same person 10 12 13.
Kaguya’s Decline and the Wind-Snow Realm
A vision obtained through the Source Fruit warns Yuya that Kaguya is in danger. His original plan—to prevent her future sealing by guiding Hagoromo and Hamura—no longer seems sufficient. He begins urgent training and searches through divination for another solution 15 22 25.
The search leads him to Abe Kiyuki, the Yin-Yang Pearl, and Abe Seimei’s ruins. After winning the Pearl through the national tournament, Yuya enters the Wind-Snow Realm and survives an extended battle against Seimei’s shikigami. Seimei offers a cleansing art powered by his clan’s remaining souls and entrusts Yuya with the realm’s dragon and displaced beasts 35 37 41 49.
On returning, Yuya finds Kaguya unconscious beside two horned infants. Her letters reveal that she took Isshiki’s presence into herself to protect him and concealed the resulting God Tree corrosion. Seimei’s treatment pushes back the wooden growth, but the supplied account does not establish a complete recovery at that point 51.
Cultivation and Incarnations
Yuya later rules through the Great Xia Imperial Court and advances beyond the chakra system through cultivation. His power carries consequences: the world’s depleted fortune, karmic obligations, and a continuing conflict with the Ancient Tree 58 75 78 89.
During that conflict, the Dao body defending Earth expends nearly all its energy resisting an Ōtsutsuki-origin threat. Before dissipating, it creates hundreds of millions of incarnations across different times and spaces. The later Su Ye is one of these incarnations, with a more human personality and a much smaller reserve of power than the true body 157.
Appearance
- Infancy: Big eyes, fair and tender skin, long eyelashes, and unusually delicate features. Charm rewards further improve his appearance and give him a presence that readily inspires affection 3 4.
- Childhood: Silver-haired; unusually tall and mature-looking by age eight. Wears fitted silk hanfu rather than the rough hemp clothing common in the Land of Ancestors 7 10.
- Later incarnation: Flawless face, sharp brows, star-bright eyes, and slender shoulders. First appears dressed in white with an ethereal bearing; later wears blue-green and blue robes at the Uchiha grounds 157 163 177 178.
- Distinct forms: The incarnations vary in appearance and do not exactly resemble either Yuya’s original body or his Dao bodies 157.
Personality
Su Ye’s earliest decisions are driven by survival, but he does not regard every powerful reward as worth its price. He prefers Kaguya to Isshiki, assesses how either could kill him, and later becomes wary of generous system options that may expose Kaguya to greater danger 2 151.
As Yuya, he combines a carefree public manner with political awareness and practical competence. He tolerates insults without immediately retaliating, allows Qingyi to establish his achievements through evidence, and uses patriotic theatrics when they serve his private goals 10 13 16.
His devotion to Kaguya exposes a much more vulnerable side. Fear of losing her drives his training, guilt, tears, and willingness to endure embarrassment or injury for useful rewards. That urgency can also make him controlling and inconsiderate toward others: he deliberately keeps Kiyuki financially dependent and leaves her exposed to danger despite her efforts to help him 22 23 35 37 46.
The later Su Ye is lively, boastful, teasing, and optimistic compared with Yuya’s detached true self. He enjoys dramatic claims even when he cannot substantiate them, but retains sharp judgment under pressure. His avoidance of Hoshizuki is deliberate rather than indifferent: he fears that eventual absorption into another incarnation would prevent him from offering a lasting relationship 157 158 159 170 183.
Abilities & Skills
Choice and Sign-In Systems
- Original choice system: Presents alternative actions with different rewards, including attributes, techniques, and constitutions. Offered rewards are not necessarily acquired; several early options are unusable because Su Ye cannot speak 1 3.
- Changing activation: Eventually begins responding directly to Yuya’s thoughts, making him question whether it is exerting greater influence over him 37.
- Incarnation systems: Originate from the original body’s application of the Great Dao. Each incarnation has only one irreversible opportunity to choose a system 167.
- Sign-in requirements: Rewards visits to significant locations or encounters with specially fortunate people. Its initial construction requires absorbable obsessions, not ordinary convictions 167 168 169.
- Absorption limits: Hoshizuki’s strong obsession cannot be absorbed, and the young Kakashi group does not yet possess suitable obsessions. Hiashi supplies the successful activation source 168 169 170.
Comprehension and Technique Creation
- Masters difficult chakra-control tasks rapidly, including forming, enlarging, and safely dismantling a Rasengan 22.
- Creates the Gale Sword Technique rather than merely reproducing an existing style 15.
- Overcomes his incompatibility with Flying Thunder God by designing a different space-time technique 39.
- Does not automatically know every plan or contingency left by his original body; the incarnation explicitly recognizes this limitation at the Uchiha statue 177.
Dōjutsu
- Prophecy and Time: The Source Fruit enables visions across past and future. His original young body initially cannot sustain them 15.
- Izanagi: Restores the user to a recorded state and can undo fatal harm as described by the system 16.
- Tsukuyomi: Disrupts the mental link between Seimei and a shikigami during combat 49.
- Susanoo: Can be manifested partially or reshaped; Yuya coats its sword in Amaterasu and combines it with other techniques 49.
- Time Binding: Immobilizes a target within an area of space, creating the opening for a concealed clone to strike Seimei 49.
- Rinne Sharingan: Incorporates Heavenly Secrets Calculation, revealing past, future, and karmic connections through observation 59.
- Incarnation’s Tenseigan: Overwhelms the Hyuga’s formations and painfully deactivates their Byakugan. It also removes Su Ye’s presence from Nawaki’s recollection, though Tsunade retains her memory 172 176.
- Incarnation’s Mangekyō: Its left-eye spatial technique enables instantaneous travel and concealment in a subspace 177 183.
Sage Body and Sage Mode
- Sage Body bonuses: Adds 100 each to maximum health, maximum chakra, physical potential, physique, and recovery, plus a large ninjutsu-power bonus 24.
- Regeneration: Helps Yuya endure prolonged combat against Seimei’s shikigami 49.
- Natural connection: His emotional state can affect nearby vegetation; distress withers plants, while calm restores them 34.
- Environmental limitation: He cannot enter Sage Mode in the space used for Seimei’s battle, where ordinary ninjutsu is also weakened 49.
- Dragon interaction: Natural energy calms the Silver Dragon when his chakra provokes hostility 46.
Elemental Ninjutsu
- Uses a water blade to sever a guard captain’s arm and fire techniques to scatter the remaining guards 8.
- Reshapes Rasenshuriken’s wind chakra into a sword, knife, staff, whip, and bow and arrow. One wind arrow demolishes a hill and clears a long path 24.
- Uses Wood Clones for searching and relaying information, and a Wood Dragon for transport 34 37.
- Produces a vast blade from an Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb and cleaves the Wind-Snow Realm in two 50.
- Possesses Wood, Ice, Lava, and Boil Release, understood through chakra-nature combinations and natural energy 33.
Space-Time Techniques
- Instant: Teleports to locations within his sensory range, places he has visited, or points where he has left chakra 39.
- Modified Flying Thunder God: Teaches a version to enlightened beasts so they can form contracts and be summoned 49.
- Barrier limitation: Seimei’s ruins block perception and prevent entry through space-time ninjutsu 46.
Divination and Perception
- Heavenly Secrets Calculation: Locates people and possible future opportunities, including Kiyuki and her surviving branch lineage 25 34 37.
- Backlash: A calculation concerning Kiyuki costs 10 HP; repeated use and the target’s strength affect the risk 25.
- Risk assessment: Estimates a 60% chance of death in the Wind-Snow Realm expedition, partly because the ruins may suppress his escape techniques 40.
- Taiqing Aura-Observing Technique: Examines fortune and destiny, including Musashi’s potential and the presence of promising outsiders 15 17.
- Qi-Reading Technique: Helps expose corrupt officials under his imperial rule 60.
- Observation Haki: Adds sensing beyond direct vision. Future sight is described as a possible result of advanced development, not a confirmed mastery at acquisition 23.
Martial Knowledge and Strategy
- Created the principles underlying Gentle Fist and recognizes the later Hyuga style’s loss of Taiji, balanced hardness and softness, and other foundational concepts 170 173.
- Evades Hiashi at ordinary human speed by predicting attacks rather than overpowering him 170.
- Teaches Hoshizuki the true Eight Trigrams and Taiji, alongside better use of her Tenseigan 160 175.
- While powerless, uses layered explosives, poison, and chakra-pathway paralysis to defeat far stronger shinobi 164 165.
- Refines Eight Gates Release and clears a pupil’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians, reducing the technique’s side effects so opening all eight gates is no longer fatal 121.
Cultivation and Avatars
- His incomplete cultivation method contains the early realms of Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Deification, and Dao Inquiry 89.
- Cultivation emphasizes understanding and embodying the Great Dao, including the essences of earth, water, wind, and fire 87.
- Chakra alone cannot surpass Six Paths or defeat the Ancient Tree, which can reclaim power originating from its chakra system 78.
- A substitute-body technique transfers God Tree corrosion, faith backlash, calamities, and karmic burdens away from his true body. That substitute lacks independent consciousness and the cultivation system 77.
- The later Su Ye is a different kind of incarnation: an independently characterized being with inherited memories, limited energy, and the opportunity to construct his own system 157 167.
Leadership and Cultural Works
| Field | Documented contribution |
|---|---|
| Clothing and commerce | Starlight Pavilion sells affordable silk and supplies clothing to people in need 12 13. |
| Food security | Sky Feather Pavilion distributes potatoes during drought and shares seeds and agricultural knowledge 12 13. |
| Business management | His plans increase Starlight Pavilion revenue more than tenfold; its guards resent the demanding “996” schedule he introduces 25. |
| Music | Creates “That Night We Descended from the Sky,” “Last Night’s Stars Were Just Like You,” and the flute piece “Fate Brought Us Together,” dedicated to his Divine Maiden 12 13. |
| Games and recreation | Introduces Go, ball games, and other entertainment to the Land of Ancestors 10 12. |
| Imperial development | Supplies remembered physics theories and technological blueprints to Great Xia laboratories. Firearms count toward a system mission requiring two technological-era advances 58. |

| Summoning beasts | Enlightens displaced creatures and prepares them for coexistence and summoning contracts with humans 49. |
| Uchiha advancement | Offers a route beyond ordinary Sharingan limits. Fugaku and Kagami subsequently possess four-tomoe eyes 181 183. |
Equipment / Weapons / Items

- Source Fruit — Kaguya’s gift, formed from energy absorbed by the God Tree; consumed to increase his chakra and awaken new ocular abilities 15.
- Yin-Yang Pearl / Deep Blue Crystal — Tournament prize and key to opening Seimei’s ruins 37 41 46.
- Seimei’s notebook — Receives the Yin-Yang Tomb’s remnant souls and allows Yuya to summon Seimei for Kaguya’s treatment 49 51.

- Space-Time Scroll — Heavenly Way-grade artifact formed from the Uchiha statue’s manifestation; capable of traversing space, time, planes, and eras 180.
- Recovery Potion — A side-story system reward used to heal Kaguya’s severe abdominal wound 102.
Relationships
- Princess Kaguya — Adoptive guardian, teacher, and central emotional attachment. Yuya seeks to reverse their protector–protected roles as she deteriorates; all incarnations retain feelings for her 3 7 22 51 157.
- Hoshizuki Hyuga — Kaguya’s twin sister, rescued by the later Su Ye. She shelters him, develops feelings for him, and learns from his instruction; he avoids encouraging a relationship he believes cannot last 157 166 170 175 183.
- Qingyi — Loyal maid and public defender. Her persuasive exposure of his identities impresses him enough to consider making her his diplomat 10 13.
- Hongyun — Starlight Pavilion leader entrusted with business, diplomacy, and the search for Kiyuki. His praise and attention carry personal significance for her 25.
- Miyamoto Musashi — Personal guard and swordsmanship pupil. Yuya offers the orphan a position and a chance to prove himself after recognizing his unusual talent 17.
- Abe Kiyuki — Guide and collaborator in the search for Seimei’s ruins. His controlling behavior and abandonment wound her despite her willingness to help him 37 46.
- Abe Seimei — Initially an opponent and examiner, later an ally who sacrifices his clan’s remnant souls toward Kaguya’s cleansing and entrusts Yuya with the dragon and beasts 49 51.
- Silver Dragon / Yu Mengyuan — Protected and enlightened by Yuya, nourished with dragon-vein energy and imperial fortune, and later calls him “Father God” after taking human form 46 87 89.
- Madara — Cultivation student whom Yuya subjects to a nine-stage trial before teaching his method 89.
- Ōtsutsuki Isshiki — Enemy whose presence threatens Kaguya. Her diary reveals that she transferred him into herself after detecting a clansman’s aura around Yuya 1 23 51.
- Ancient Tree — Adversary beyond the chakra system’s reach; Yuya’s true body continues fighting it while his incarnations act elsewhere 78 157.
- Hyuga Hiashi, the young heir — Hoshizuki’s devoted admirer and Su Ye’s perceived romantic rival. His obsession supplies the power needed to awaken Su Ye’s sign-in system 167 169 170.
- Kakashi — Rescued by one of the incarnations and later identifies Su Ye as his savior. Su Ye accepts his gratitude despite initially denying the identification 157 169.
- Chu Aotian — Another system user whom Yuya secretly plans to exploit. Chu’s reconnaissance cannot meaningfully measure Yuya’s power 114 117.
- White-Clad Figure — Gives Su Ye three months to prove his approach and threatens to consume him if it fails; later summaries frame the threat as coming from a rival incarnation 165 168.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Side-Story Escape
- Protects an injured Kaguya from attackers, administers a Recovery Potion, and collapses after exhausting his young body 102.
- Guides her through difficult terrain and deceives pursuing samurai to break their encirclement 103.
- Rejects abandoning her or accepting a suspiciously generous overnight reward, choosing instead to push her cart toward safety despite exhaustion 151.
Powerless Incarnation and the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure
- Saves Hoshizuki but spends his remaining energy doing so. His attempts to demonstrate divine techniques fail, forcing him to admit his dependence on her 157 158 159.
- Identifies an ambush and prevents Hoshizuki from burning her life force to pursue a rumored imperial treasure 160 163.
- Defeats the treasure’s escorts through preparation rather than chakra, then lets Hoshizuki recover a notebook he recognizes as an old ninjutsu text 165 166.
- Moves into Hoshizuki’s home in Konoha, where a room prepared for her absent sister retains an unexplained trace of Kaguya 167.
Hyuga and Uchiha Reform
- Absorbs Hiashi’s obsession, defeats his Gentle Fist, and confronts the clan’s elders over their degraded inheritance 170 171.
- Awakens the Tenseigan and demonstrates a formation that neutralizes the Hyuga leadership. Hoshizuki subsequently becomes clan head and receives his instruction in the original martial principles 172 175.
- Signs in at the Uchiha compound, reveals overwhelming spiritual power, and witnesses the ancestral statue produce a vast scroll manifestation 176 178.
- Obtains the Space-Time Scroll and Rinnegan, then begins expanding the Uchiha’s Sharingan potential 180 181 183.
- Continues collecting clan techniques while avoiding Hoshizuki, who learns space-time ninjutsu specifically to catch up with him 185.
Parallel Land of Ancestors
- Yuya passes through an Ōtsutsuki gateway and awakens as a seven- or eight-year-old in a divergent version of the past 190.
- Encounters Kaguya selecting a Divine Attendant and Musashi serving as a palace guard rather than his subordinate 190.
- Expects his appearance to secure selection, only for Musashi to announce that Kaguya considers him too ugly to qualify 190.
Notable Quotes
“This time... I’ll protect you...” 22
“Actually... I’m your ancestor...” 157
“All you need to know is that saving you earlier almost completely exhausted my energy. It’ll probably take a long time to recover.” 159
“To my eyes, your Gentle Fist is nothing but openings. You can’t even hit an ordinary person like me!” 170
Trivia
- His musical admirers form the Peerless Faction, while admirers of the Crown Prince form the Divine Child Faction. The groups quarrel without realizing they support the same person 12 13.
- His public claim that he likes men is made to obtain a system reward, not presented as a truthful statement of preference. Later audiences continue misinterpreting his romantic poetry through that declaration 22 23 40.
- The elaborate techniques he names during his failed demonstration to Hoshizuki are bluffs; he intends only to create impressive visual effects and lacks even the energy for those 158.
- The sign-in system identifies his Konoha setting as Year 42, before the Third Shinobi World War. Madara’s face on the Hokage Rock reminds him that this world differs from the Naruto story he remembers 168.
- Teuchi’s claim that Ichiraku originated under Starlight Pavilion is an embellished history: Su Ye remembers the pavilion’s worldwide businesses but knows Ichiraku was not among them 176.
