The morning mist of late autumn had not yet dissipated, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the Ten Family's old residence. Tsubasa paced back and forth outside the delivery room, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. From inside the room, Tian Yueqing's painful groans could be heard from time to time, each sound like a heavy hammer pounding on his heart.
" Lord Hokage, Lady Yueqing has been in labor for three whole hours. This pregnancy is probably..." The female medical-nin poked her head out with a solemn expression, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a clap of thunder. The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and a strong wind swept up the fallen leaves in the courtyard, making them swirl in the air.
Just as everyone was panicking, a purple ray of light pierced through the clouds and shot straight into the delivery room. The light was dazzling, as if it had dyed the entire world purple. Tsubasa was startled; he had never seen such a phenomenon before. Could it be...?
Inside the room, Tian Yueqing was already in so much pain that she was barely conscious. Sweat soaked through her clothes, and each contraction felt like it was tearing her apart. But when the purple light shone through the window paper, she felt the baby in her womb suddenly become warm and peaceful. A surge of strength welled up from somewhere, supporting her as she gritted her teeth and mustered her last bit of strength.
"Wah--" A clear cry pierced the sky, the purple glow gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its usual tranquility. The female medical-nin emerged, carrying a beautifully sculpted baby girl. "Congratulations, Lord Hokage! It's a daughter!"
Tsubasa carefully took his daughter, his heart filled with tenderness. The little one had fair skin and delicate features, and was curiously observing the world with her big, dark eyes. Suddenly, her little hand grabbed Tsubasa's fingers, the force small, but it melted his heart.
"Your name in your past life was Katsuyu, so you shall be called Tian Yu," Tsubasa said softly. He thought of the Katsuyu Sage of the Shikkotsu Forest and hoped that his daughter could possess the power to heal wounds, just like her in her past life.
Just three days after her birth, the Tian Yu astonished everyone. That day, Tian Yueqing was breastfeeding her when the little one suddenly stopped suckling, her dark eyes fixed on the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window. A tender voice echoed in her mother's mind, "The wind is... talking." Tian Yueqing was so startled that her hand trembled, almost dropping the child. This reincarnated Sage could actually communicate with her through spiritual power.
Little Tian Yu has many extraordinary abilities. She could Earth Flow less than a month, communicate with others using her mental powers—powers that are exceptionally strong enough to manipulate objects and even make her fly. She loves to cling to Tsubasa, calling out "Daddy, Daddy" all day long. But Tsubasa has noticed something strange about his daughter.
At first, Tsubasa thought it was his imagination, until one late night, as he was studying improvements to the Soul Reincarnation Technique, the usually quiet and obedient Tian Yu in his arms suddenly reached out and patted his face. The unique milky scent of a baby mixed with the scent of night dew, and a clear child's voice exploded in his mind. "Daddy, the runes... can dance." Tsubasa looked down sharply and saw that on the yellowed pages of the book under the candlelight, the runes were indeed glowing faintly, as if they were being pulled and moved by invisible threads.
"This spiritual power... is it playing a trick on me?" Tsubasa's apple bobbed as he gently touched his daughter's soft palm with his fingertips. The baby's body temperature was warm, but he could clearly feel a vast spiritual power lurking within that small body, like a whirlpool brewing a storm in the deep sea. Even more astonishingly, this power did not leak out at all. If it weren't for his own exceptionally strong spiritual power actively communicating with it, most people would not have been able to detect it at all.
On the day of the full moon celebration, the bronze incense burner in the Ten Family suddenly moved without wind, and the incense ash floated in the air, condensing into strange runes. Water energy gathered in the sky and shot out in all directions. While the guests looked at each other in bewilderment, Tian Yu was lying in her cradle, giggling and kicking her pink little feet happily. Tsubasa looked at his mischievous daughter and belatedly realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat—those runes were clearly the runes he had studied last time for communicating with the energy of heaven and earth. She had actually memorized them after seeing them only once and could use them perfectly.
"Daddy, I can! I can taste... the flavor of clouds." When Tian Yu was two months old, she suddenly tilted her head and uttered a nonsensical sentence using her spiritual power. Tsubasa held her under the eaves and saw his daughter's chubby little hand suddenly reach up, and a cloud of mist carrying the fragrance of dew condensed in her palm. The mist changed into various shapes at her fingertips, finally transforming into a butterfly about to take flight, and dissipated into the twilight.
After several confirmations, Tsubasa concluded that Tian Yu has a dual personality: one quiet and obedient, the other lively and playful. Who knows what kind of trouble it might cause in the future?
When Tianyi decided to teach his daughter to cultivate her body using Natural Energy, Tsubasa specially prepared a gentle method for guiding the energy into her body. Unexpectedly, on the very first day, as soon as Tian Yu came into contact with the Natural Energy, the flowers and plants in the entire yard grew wildly, and vines climbed up the walls, turning the house into a green castle in the blink of an eye. The little one wrinkled her nose and giggled, completely unaware of the horrified looks in the eyes of those around her— the Natural Energy, which contained violent power, was as docile as a tamed young beast within her body.
Using Natural Energy to train one's body is a pain that Tsubasa has personally experienced. Even if he hadn't gritted his teeth and persevered back then, he wouldn't be the Hokage Tsubasa he is today. But Tian Yu treats it like a game. After the Natural Energy enters her body, she can still laugh heartily, as if the Natural Energy is tickling her. She can even play with Tsubasa while absorbing the Natural Energy. Every time she sits cross-legged on the grass, she seriously closes her eyes and draws in the Natural Energy within a ten-mile radius.
Tsubasa at the purple aura flowing around his daughter, and then touching his own Perfect Sage Body, which he had painstakingly cultivated for six years, Tianyi finally understood what a true genius was. Back then, he could barely influence an area of about a hundred meters by absorbing Natural Energy. The difference was too great, and for the first time, Tsubasa tasted the bitterness of jealousy.
"This dark blue water-type Immortal Spiritual Root... and a purple life-type too...?" Tsubasa's hands trembled as he removed the spirit-testing disc from his daughter's palm. The runes on the disc flickered wildly, bursting forth with tangible purple and dark light. This terrifying talent was too unfair! Tsubasa had tested the Spiritual Root of thousands of people; only Jiraiya possessed a mid-grade Spiritual Root, and Little Tsunade had a low-grade Water Spiritual Root, but their light was very weak. Tian Yu's possession of two top-grade immortal Immortal Spiritual Root truly stunned him. He couldn't help but recall the Immortal Cultivation novels he had read before his transmigration, those protagonists who were called "chosen ones"—they would probably pale in comparison to his daughter. Tsubasa hugged Tian Yu and kissed her, exclaiming, "My daughter has the potential to become an emperor!"
Late at night, Tsubasa stood beside his daughter's cradle, moonlight illuminating Tian Yu peaceful sleeping face. The little one murmured unconsciously, her eyelashes casting tiny Yin Shadow on her cheeks. He suddenly chuckled and gently stroked his daughter's nose, "Good! You've surpassed your father. When Daddy ventures into space in the future, I'll have to rely on you to protect me."
The first time Tsubasa took Tian Yu to the Shikkotsu Forest, as soon as they stepped into the familiar mist, Little Tian Yu's eyes widened. "Daddy, this place... I... have been here before." She used her spiritual power to propel herself into the air, flying towards the cliff face, stopping in front of a familiar cave. "Here... I... I slept here..."
Tsubasa's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly squatted down. " Yu'er, what do you still remember?"
Tian Yu frowned, trying hard to remember. "I'm very big... I'm... sleeping... here, and... Daddy... is..."
This discovery kept Tsubasa awake all night. It seemed that Tian Yu hadn't completely forgotten his past life. He recalled that when he was reborn in the Shinobi World, he not only retained his memories of his past life, but they were also exceptionally clear. He had originally thought this was a unique perk for transmigrators, but now it seemed that the Soul Reincarnation Jutsu had left some special traces as well.
"Perhaps this is the Mystery of the Womb," Tsubasa murmured, gazing at his sleeping daughter. Those hazy fragments of memory were like seeds buried deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment to sprout.
Tian Yu grew up happily, pampered by her family. She often said things that surprised people and did things inappropriate for her age. Tsubasa knew that his daughter's legendary story had only just begun...
Every night, Tsubasa would sit in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky. He longed for the day when his daughter would truly uncover the memories of her past life, and for her to write her own legendary life story in this world. And he would always be her strongest support, protecting her as she grew and moved forward.
