Ziyun

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Ziyun is a transmigrator who has lived in Kumogakure for ten years when the story begins. His parents died serving the village. The Third Raikage raises him with the same material support and ninjutsu resources given to his own son, Yotsuki A 1.

Initially disappointed that he had not arrived in Konoha’s Uchiha Clan, Ziyun grows attached to Kumogakure’s straightforward people and the Third Raikage’s leadership. He presents system-acquired Six Powers techniques as his own inventions, earning a reputation as the village’s greatest ninjutsu genius. The Third Raikage funds a private laboratory and assigns Anbu protection to support his research 1.

Appearance

• Complexion and features: Relatively fair-skinned, with delicate features; repeatedly described as handsome or a “pretty boy” 9 40.
• Build: Inherits the Yeyue Clan’s sturdy physique and stands 1.65 meters tall at age 10 13.
• Official clothing: Wears a Raikage robe for his inauguration 70.
• Combat transformations: Can become lightning, cover his body in black Armament Haki, or assemble a giant body exceeding a thousand meters. Releasing Ten-Tails Chakra gives him a Sage of Six Paths-like appearance 6 40 136.

Personality

Ziyun is confident, irreverent, and fond of mocking opponents. His apparent arrogance is tempered by preparation: he conceals the Door-Door Fruit and Mangekyō Sharingan as surprise weapons, studies enemy countermeasures, and avoids an unnecessary confrontation with Madara before reaching Super Kage Level 32 69.

He values people who support him. Despite being capable of leaving Kumogakure without permission, he waits for approval to enter the battlefield rather than expose Blue B to punishment. His loyalty also extends to ordinary village shinobi, whose attackers he pursues personally 30 75.

His political outlook is transactional and often ruthless. He recruits persecuted clans, demands territory and protection money, and manipulates Kirigakure’s internal conflicts to acquire useful personnel. He feels no remorse for killing enemy ninja whom he views as threats to himself and Kumogakure 26 47 78 113.

Ziyun dislikes administrative work more than leadership itself. Initially reluctant to become Raikage because of the paperwork, he later delegates document review to Mikoto and Kushina so he can concentrate on training 29 70.

Abilities & Skills

System

Ziyun’s system provides missions, points, proficiency tracking, and rewards ranging from techniques to Devil Fruits and physical enhancements 1 2 5.

• Point shop: Offers purchases such as physiques and dōjutsu; he uses accumulated points to obtain his Mangekyō Sharingan 5 69.
• Mission refresh: Spends 1,000 points to generate a mission rather than waiting for one to appear naturally 5.
• Devil Fruit development: Named moves unlock at 30%, proficient use at 70%, ultimate moves at 80%, and awakening at 100%. Training alone cannot raise proficiency beyond 70% 2.

Rumble-Rumble Fruit

His original Devil Fruit grants lightning generation, elemental transformation, and exceptional mobility. He initially disguises it as an invented ninjutsu called Lightning Release: Thunder God 1 3.

• Elemental body: Ordinary kunai and shuriken pass through him; he also reforms after being struck by Ōnoki’s Dust Release 6 56.
• Lightning attacks: Uses Thunderbird, Thunder Dragon, El Thor/Divine Judgment, and Mamaragan for targeted and battlefield-wide attacks 6 32 55 56.
• Ultimate attacks: Unlocks 200 Million Volts: Amaru and later demonstrates the awakened 1 Billion Volts: Thunderous Might 21 135.
• Limits and counters: Early use strains his immature body and stamina. Sealing techniques, senjutsu, Mangekyō-level genjutsu, and specially prepared countermeasures threaten the protection offered by elemental transformation 2 6 28 40.

Observation Haki

A sensing ability that detects living beings, their movements, and their auras while using very little chakra 5.

• Initial range: Several dozen meters, with enough precision to distinguish small animals inside walls and beneath floors 5.
• Lightning-enhanced range: Eventually merges with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to cover an entire ninja village, although maintaining that range is costly 31.
• Applications: Locates enemy supplies, identifies traps, detects White Zetsu, and guides Divine Judgment toward a target 6 31 39 69.

Armament Haki and Ryuo

Armament Haki reinforces his body and attacks, supplementing his elemental defenses 26 40.

• Hardening: Full-body coating blocks a coordinated attack from more than a dozen Konoha Jonin without injury 40.
• Countering insulation: Breaks protective insulating material so his lightning can damage the wearer 40.
• Ryuo: Inflicts internal destruction and passes through Susanoo to strike its occupant 73.
• Combination attacks: Reinforces the fists of his giant form alongside lightning 47.

Combine-Combine Fruit

Also referred to as the Fusion Fruit, it gathers surrounding inorganic material and combines it with his body to create a giant combat form 41 47.

• Materials: Uses rubble, supplies, ninja tools, and even the Third Kazekage’s magnetic sand 47 55.
• Pre-awakening scale: Fights at nearly 200 meters; sufficient material could support 400 meters, but the stamina cost is prohibitive at that stage 47.
• Awakened scale: Draws material from dozens of kilometers and produces a body exceeding a thousand meters 73 136.
• Collateral risk: Its awakened reach encompasses all of Kumogakure and beyond, forcing him to cancel a test before damaging his own village 70.

Spatial and Temporal Abilities

Ziyun possesses several separate means of manipulating space and time 170.

• Door-Door Fruit: Opens passages into an alternate dimension, concealing his presence and allowing infiltration, transport, and observation 30 31 32.
• Dimensional confinement: Keeps Minato inside the Door-Door Fruit’s space while showing him the future, preventing him from interfering with events 98.
• Time-Time Fruit: Enables travel through time 98.
• Mangekyō Time Reversal: Rewinds a target by several seconds; later counters an Ōtsutsuki time-freezing attack 69 170.
• Kamui countermeasure: Prevents Obito from escaping with Kamui and wounds him during their confrontation 122.

Dōjutsu

His system-acquired eyes can be activated and returned to their normal appearance 69 155.

• Mangekyō Sharingan: Grants Tsukuyomi and Time Reversal without requiring constant activation 69.
• Rinnegan: Acquired following the unification of the Shinobi World; he tests its power before reverting his eyes to normal 155.

Dark-Dark Fruit

Ziyun develops the Dark-Dark Fruit as both an ability-recovery tool and a component of later Six Paths techniques 78 79 163.

• Ability extraction: Can remove a Devil Fruit power from a living user and take it for himself 79.
• Combined sealing: Adds its power to Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei against Kaguya 163.
• Six Paths: Dark Water: Uses this technique to send Kinshiki crashing into the ground 170.

Six Paths Powers and Kekkei Mōra

Ten-Tails Chakra elevates Ziyun to Six Paths Level, while later rewards give him access to Kekkei Mōra techniques 113 155.

• Truth-Seeking Orbs: Destroy part of the reincarnated Hashirama’s body and prevent its regeneration 136.
• Black rods: Pin the reincarnated Tobirama to the ground 136.
• Yang Release: Keeps jinchūriki alive while extracting their Tailed Beasts 159.
• All-Killing Ash Bones: Produces bone weapons powerful enough to frighten Madara and later kill Momoshiki 159 170.
• Other mastered techniques: Yomotsu Hirasaka, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, and Amenominaka 155.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Sealing

His early reputation rests on adapting unfamiliar techniques to the shinobi world 1.

• Finger Pistol/Shigan: Concentrates bodily strength into a piercing finger strike; its initial destructive power is comparable to B-rank ninjutsu 1.

• Iron Body/Tekkai: Hardens his body against weapons and lower-level ninjutsu, but prevents movement while active 1.
• Lightning Release Shadow Clones: Accelerate his training 2.

Trivia

• Ziyun’s supposed original inventions—Shave, Finger Pistol, and Iron Body—are actually system rewards based on the Navy Six Powers from One Piece 1.
• He chooses a fingertip-firing style for his early lightning attacks because he considers Kizaru’s presentation cooler than Enel’s 2.
• He gives Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya the “Konoha Sannin” designation; their reputation benefits from the prestige of having been named by the man who defeated Susanoo 50.
• His effortless use of his elemental body to clear traps earns heartfelt loyalty from 800 shinobi, who interpret it as dangerous self-sacrifice 39 40.
