Power Progression

Background / History

Arrival and village life

Ryuto awakens injured in the woods five years before the opening chapter. Yamano Tarō rescues him, provides food and water, and brings him into a remote farming village. Recognizing the world as the Shinobi World’s Warring States Period, Ryuto uses knowledge from his previous life as a Dragon Ball fan to develop ki. He farms by day and trains secretly in the mountains at night 1.

The advancing Senju–Uchiha war destroys that quiet life. Ryuto helps evacuate the villagers, protects their cave shelter from falling rocks, and repels three pursuing Uchiha. During the subsequent escape, he blasts a route through a battlefield, but only around a dozen of the original twenty-odd refugees remain with the group, all injured 3 4 5.

After guiding the survivors to a secluded valley, he leaves to seek greater strength. His goal expands from protecting his adopted home to stopping wars in which ordinary people die from stray techniques and indiscriminate fighting 6.

Training with the Uzumaki

Ryuto heads toward the Uzumaki Clan to obtain sealing-based training weights. Along the way, he saves Rena Uzumaki from capture and accepts an invitation to the clan grounds. Although he refuses to explain his power’s true origins, he acknowledges that it is fundamentally different from chakra 8 9 10.

He completes three border-defense assignments in exchange for help refining his training. Sparring exposes his vulnerability to sensory genjutsu, prompting intensive study with Shizuka and Rena. His growing resistance attracts Uchiha intelligence efforts, including an ambush designed to collect information about his abilities 12 13 14 15 16 17.

Izuna offers him Uchiha resources and systematic training, but Ryuto refuses to become a clan’s pawn. Their clash exposes shortcomings in his speed, tactics, and attack precision. He subsequently leaves for a remote mountain training ground with an advanced Weighted Scroll from Mito and supplies from Rena 21 22 23.

Defense of the Uzumaki grounds

Ryuto returns to find the Uzumaki settlement devastated and Mito and Rena surrounded. He clears their immediate attackers and confronts Izuna, declaring that attacking his friends has already made the Uchiha his enemies 26.

The ensuing battle leaves Izuna’s Susanoo shattered and Ryuto exhausted. Madara then overwhelms him with taijutsu, dislocating his wrist and cracking a rib. Hashirama intervenes before the killing blow and takes Ryuto to the Senju camp for treatment 27 28 30.

Partnership with the Senju

Recovery reveals the scale of Ryuto’s Saiyan constitution: his ki increases dramatically after surviving near-fatal injuries. Hashirama invites him to join the Senju, but Ryuto hesitates because a formal clan identity could endanger the people he wants to protect 31 32.

He exchanges research cooperation with Tobirama for intelligence about the major factions and learns from Senju taijutsu. After a carefully monitored near-death training session with Hashirama, he agrees to pursue peace alongside him as Ryuto, not as a Senju ninja 33 34 36 37.

Ryuto leads a mobile-support squad in battle and begins confronting his reluctance to kill. Hashirama helps him distinguish necessary force from enjoyment of violence. When Mito later warns him against becoming the Senju’s hired muscle, Hashirama affirms that they are partners rather than master and subordinate 38 39 40 41.

Clan showdown and Super Saiyan awakening

Ryuto delivers Hashirama’s proposal for a contest between the clans’ strongest fighters. Madara accepts on the condition that Ryuto participate, considering his rapid growth impossible to ignore 44.

During the showdown, Ryuto adapts to Izuna’s visual and sound-based genjutsu while Black Zetsu waits to exploit the combatants’ exhaustion. Rena’s apparent mortal injury ultimately triggers Ryuto’s first Super Saiyan transformation. His golden power ends the fighting, but he initially lacks the ability to summon it deliberately 49 54 57 62.

Hashirama saves Rena, who remains in a deep coma, and treats Izuna, whose weakened mind shows signs of outside interference. Black Zetsu decides that indirect attacks on Ryuto’s loved ones or manipulation of clan conflict are safer than confronting him directly 56.

Desert investigation and lunar conflict

Ryuto joins Hashirama, Tobirama, Madara, and Izuna to investigate rumors involving the nine Tailed Beasts and the Sage of Six Paths’ ruins. The five travel to the Endless Desert, where coordinated waves of frenzied ninja beasts obstruct their approach 69 71.

The investigation brings them into the conflict surrounding the lunar Ōtsutsuki families. Ryuto supports Hashirama’s position that the Shinobi World must determine its own future rather than be destroyed and restarted by outsiders 76.

On the moon, he fights Hyūga Tenshu’s Tenseigan abilities, counters attraction, and discovers that his ki can repel—but not destroy—Tenshu’s Truth-Seeking Orbs. A Kamehameha feint allows him to cut Tenshu’s chakra cloak with a Destructo Disc, provoking a larger attack 81 83.

Kaguya and the final documented duel

Ryuto arrives after Kaguya devastates the allied fighters. He initially matches her without transforming, calls their exchange a warm-up, and then reveals Super Saiyan. He later explains the greater strength and efficiency of his full-power state 91 93.

He withstands Kaguya’s dimensional environments and gathers vital energy from across the Shinobi World to create a Spirit Bomb against her Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb. The supplied account leaves that collision unresolved 94 98.

After Madara absorbs Kaguya’s power and awakens the Rinnegan, Ryuto eagerly accepts another duel despite Hashirama’s warnings. Madara’s varied Six Paths techniques and invisible Limbo shadows pressure and wound him, but Ryuto continues adapting. The latest documented chapter ends with him preparing to answer Madara’s coordinated assault 102 104 105.

Appearance

• Base appearance: Black-haired and apparently in his early twenties; wears ordinary coarse clothing during his encounter with Uchiha scouts 20.
• Ki effects: His techniques produce pale-golden or golden light, including reinforced fists, beams, shields, and movement afterimages 4 5 12 26.
• Super Saiyan appearance: His hair and eyes change color, and golden light pours from his body 62.
• Training gear: Uses weighted patches attached to his limbs and chest; his advanced set is dark gold 23 26.

Personality

Ryuto is protective, independent, and distrustful of factional agendas. He initially wants only a peaceful life and time to train, but the destruction of his village makes civilian protection central to his decisions. He rejects Izuna’s recruitment because he refuses to be moved around like a pawn or ordered to kill people against his wishes 1 6 21.

He is candid about his weaknesses and willing to learn from unfamiliar systems. Discovering his susceptibility to visual genjutsu leads him to seek instruction immediately; confronting superior taijutsu leads him to study energy efficiency and systematic force generation. That drive can become dangerous: he deliberately asks Hashirama to bring him close to death to trigger another recovery boost 12 13 34 36 37.

His enjoyment of battle increasingly coexists with his aversion to killing. He initially avoids vital points even in war, then accepts that lethal force may sometimes be necessary without treating it as something to celebrate. By his later confrontation with Madara, he openly distinguishes his own pursuit from Hashirama’s ideal of peace, expressing excitement at the prospect of fighting a powerful opponent 39 40 102.

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Constitution

Ryuto’s body grows stronger through combat and recovery from severe injury 4 8 31.

• Combat adaptation: Improves movement, reactions, and technique while actively fighting; against Izuna, he develops feints and rhythm changes within minutes 27.
• Near-death recovery: Gains substantial increases in ki after receiving timely treatment for critical injuries 31 36.
• Limits: Recovery boosts require surviving the injury. His deliberate attempt uses Tobirama’s monitoring and medical support rather than relying on unaided recovery 36.

Ki Manipulation and Reinforcement

Ryuto uses ki rather than chakra and lacks the chakra pathway system normally targeted by basic genjutsu 10 12.

• Physical enhancement: Reinforces strikes, movement, and the body’s ability to withstand attacks 4 8 12.
• Localized defense: Concentrates ki at an impact point, including catching a kunai blade in his palm 8 11.
• Barriers: Forms shields against weapons and ninjutsu, including a curved barrier against Tobirama’s large water attack 12 35.
• Chakra disruption: Injects ki into an opponent to throw chakra flow into disarray 26.
• Efficient force delivery: Incorporates Senju taijutsu principles to synchronize physical movement with brief ki bursts 34 37.

Ki Sense

Ryuto extends ki outward to perceive people, terrain, and energy activity 5 6 7.

• Detects chakra concentrations and helps route civilians around active fighting 6.
• Distinguishes subtle energy differences, including preliminary genjutsu signatures and differences between Izuna’s clones and real body 15 27.
• Condenses his golden aura to sense Madara’s otherwise invisible Limbo shadows 105.
• Limit: Detecting that he is being watched does not always reveal the watcher’s position; his search fails to locate the shadow-merging observer near the Senju camp 41.

High-Speed Movement and Flight

Ryuto accelerates by releasing ki through his body and feet rather than using the ninja Body Flicker Technique 1 5.

• Flash / Flash Strike: Uses rapid movement to evade attacks, close distance, and strike at short range 5.
• Flight Technique: Enables aerial travel, abrupt directional changes, loops, and attacks from above 24 28 39.
• Super Acceleration: Crosses dozens of meters almost instantly to break through Madara’s ranged barrage 104.
• Limit: Predictable movement remains vulnerable to experienced Sharingan users, as his first clash with Izuna demonstrates 21 22.

Genjutsu Resistance

Ryuto’s unusual physiology prevents basic chakra-pathway genjutsu from working normally, but does not make him immune to illusions targeting the senses 12.

• Ki membrane: Protects his brain with concentrated, layered ki 13 16.
• Filtering: Blocks stronger attempts at direct mental control while weakening lesser sensory distortions 49.
• Sensory interruption: Partially shuts down his auditory nerves with ki to counter sound-based genjutsu 49.
• Limits: Early versions consume excessive energy and divide his attention. Even successful resistance to Sharingan genjutsu can impair coordination 13 14.

Energy Attacks

• Ki Blast: A direct golden beam with enough penetration to punch through an Earth-Style Wall; also used in repeated volleys to intercept incoming ninjutsu 5.
• Dodon Ray: A compressed fingertip beam that pierces an earthen wall and continues through a tree 16.
• Kamehameha: A powerful energy attack used against Izuna and later as a feint against Tenshu 27 28 83.
• Destructo Disc: Spinning energy discs that cut Tenshu’s chakra cloak, missiles, and laser beams 83 104.
• Special Beam Cannon: Used alongside Dodon Ray and Destructo Disc against the desert’s attacking ninja beasts 71.
• Tri-Beam: A high-density blast created by compressing ki to its limit; Ryuto prepares it after three months of development beside a waterfall pool 51.
• Ki blades: Cutting projections used to search nearby cover for a concealed observer 41.
• Solar Flare: Sets up a combination attack that leaves Kaguya spitting blood 94.

Super Saiyan

Ryuto’s transformation provides a fiftyfold increase over his base fighting power, according to his explanation to Kaguya 93.

• Initial awakening: Triggered by rage over Rena’s injury and accompanied by a loss of control 62.
• Voluntary transformation: Later activated through a calm release, with control over activation, termination, and output 62.
• Full-power state: Exceeds ordinary Super Saiyan’s power by more than sixfold while retaining speed and agility and overcoming the earlier excessive drain 93.
• Environmental endurance: His aura repels lava and heat; he also withstands Kaguya’s acid, cold, and increased-gravity environments 94.

Spirit Bomb

Ryuto gathers others’ vital energy into a large sphere to oppose Kaguya’s Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb 98.

• Initially draws on the wounded allied fighters, who voluntarily raise their hands to contribute.
• Expands the request across the Shinobi World through the Yamanaka Communication Formation.
• Produces a thirty-meter sphere; the supplied chapter ends before the collision’s outcome is shown.

Equipment / Items

• Coming-of-age short blade: Given by Yamano Tarō the year before the opening chapter 1.
• Weighted Scrolls and patches: Sealing-based equipment used for progressive resistance training, including documented loads from fivefold to tenfold 22 23 26.
• Advanced Weighted Scroll: A dark-gold set given by Mito before his departure into the mountains 23.
• Maps: Receives a worn hide map from Tarō and later a detailed map from Mito marking trails, hazards, resources, and a remote training ground 6 7 23.
• Senju taijutsu scrolls: Provided by Hashirama to address gaps in his fundamentals 37 38.
• Flying Thunder God Guidepost: Supplied by Tobirama for the five-person desert investigation team 69.
• Travel supplies: Rations, water, spare clothing, and medicine; he generally relies on fists and ki rather than ninja tools 22 23 38.

Relationships

• Yamano Tarō — Rescuer and trusted elder, addressed as “Uncle Tarō.” Ryuto’s gratitude and attachment to the village help drive his determination to protect civilians 1 3 6.
• Rena Uzumaki — Close friend and regular training partner. He saves her from capture; she tests his genjutsu defenses and supplies his travels. Her apparent mortal injury triggers his first Super Saiyan transformation 9 13 23 62.
• Mito Uzumaki — Ally and adviser who helps him identify weaknesses, equips his mountain training, and urges him to preserve his independence 12 23 41.
• Shizuka Uzumaki — Exposes his vulnerability to visual genjutsu and begins teaching him its principles 12.
• Hashirama Senju — Rescuer, mentor, healer, and partner in pursuing peace. Supports Ryuto’s independence and helps him reconcile protection with battlefield necessity 30 36 40 41.
• Tobirama Senju — Initially suspicious researcher who becomes a sparring partner and technical instructor. Studies Ryuto’s energy system in exchange for intelligence and monitors his dangerous training experiment 31 33 34 36.
• Izuna Uchiha — Rival who unsuccessfully recruits him, tests his defenses, and repeatedly challenges his developing combat skills 21 27 49.
• Madara Uchiha — Adversary and increasingly important combat rival. Nearly kills the exhausted Ryuto, later insists on his participation in the clan showdown, and ultimately faces him with Kaguya’s absorbed power 30 44 102 104 105.
• Takuma Senju — Training companion and squad member who admires him and offers ninja tools before deployment 37 38 39.
• Black Zetsu — Covert enemy who regards Ryuto’s unknown energy and rapid growth as threats to his plans, favoring manipulation and attacks on personal attachments over direct confrontation 42 49 56.
• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki — Opponent whose attacks and dimensional shifts test Ryuto’s full-power transformation and prompt his use of a world-supported Spirit Bomb 91 93 94 98.

Trivia

• Ryuto frequently explains training through references from his previous life, comparing ki sensing to a background monitoring app and genjutsu defense to a firewall 7 49.
• His Dragon Ball knowledge is extensive, but his familiarity with the Shinobi World’s history—especially events before the main plot—is limited 1 41.
• A rumor claims he possesses a forbidden technique that devours kekkei genkai; the passage presents this as misinformation, not an actual ability 46.
