〖Year Eleven〗
After spending an extended period learning scientific theory and experintal technique under Orochimaru's tutelage, the most valuable thing you gained wasn't any powerful experintal result—it was Orochimaru's mindset of questioning everything and constantly pushing boundaries, paired with his endless drive for innovation.
For soone like you, who had long been chasing after strength and power—so much so that you'd started to lose direction—that mindset reawakened sothing inside you.
One day, driven by sudden inspiration, you left the base behind for a ti.
Alone, you ventured into the ruins of Rōran in the Land of Wind, where you uncovered the special Flying Thunder God kunai once left behind by Minato Namikaze.
You also succeeded in breaking the seal of the Dragon Vein. Confronted with this mysterious natural phenonon, you couldn't help but feel insignificant—smaller than an insect.
The Dragon Vein's power, if fully unleashed, might rival even the strength of the Ten Tails.
Even with your Ōtsutsuki bloodline, and even with mastery over two types of Rule Power...
The stronger you beco, the more you realize just how terrifying this force truly is.
The power of the Dragon Vein is sothing that compels awe and reverence!
Even space-ti power is rely one piece of this force—not overwhelmingly large, but by no ans small…
No wonder it was capable of nurturing the Divine Tree's fruit.
You couldn't even begin to imagine what sort of unimaginable power was once sealed within the Dragon Vein, back in the ancient era of the shinobi world—before the Divine Tree devoured it.
If the stories told to you by Jashin are true, then it's no surprise that the ancient shinobi world was capable of birthing gods.
In fact, such imnse power—both the Dragon Vein and the world itself—may have been the strange miracles of nature rather than anomalies.
...
Of course, you didn't co here to travel through ti.
The more Rule Power one possesses, the sharper one's perception becos. And the sharper your perception, the more clearly you realize just how overwhelming—and unstable—the power of space-ti truly is.
One careless misstep and you could be torn to shreds by space-ti forces—or reduced to dust.
Even with your body and spirit forged by Rule Power, far beyond the limits of any ordinary human...
The rules within the Dragon Vein are imnsely complex—and brutally violent.
Attempting to traverse space-ti is nothing more than a lucky gamble... a fluke of fate.
And you're not willing to bet your life on being that lucky.
...
What you did co for was to use the abundant natural energy here to complete the synthesis of the Dust Release Kekkei Tōta and integrate it into your body.
By doing so, your overall strength would take another leap forward.
As you drank down the bloodline essence you'd collected, the three Nature Affinities—Wind, Fire, and Earth—each with vastly different properties, began to fuse under the imnse chakra and the surge of natural energy flowing into your body from the environnt…
Outside, the Dragon Vein also beca violently agitated, constantly spewing natural energy. That energy was then absorbed and used to fuel the evolution of your bloodline, rging into the newly forming Dust Release Kekkei Tōta.
Bursts of enormous dust storms were kicked up as the aftershocks of your bloodline evolution clashed with the wild natural energy—but aside from the swirling dust clouds, the two forces largely neutralized each other, causing no major destruction.
...
Although you absorbed a trendous amount of natural energy during the process, for soone with an Ōtsutsuki body refined by Rule Power, this was trivial.
There were no side effects—no petrification, no mutations.
All it required was a bit more ti to convert that energy into chakra.
And besides, within your body lay a red-and-white orb of energy, ford from the chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts—a safeguard.
If the natural energy ever went out of control, this orb could simulate the Divine Tree, instantly absorbing and converting the energy to replenish you.
...
When the raging wind finally dissipated, you had successfully fused the three Nature Affinities into a single form—Dust Release.
You opened your eyes and lightly waved your hand—anything touched was instantly erased.
You could even spit it out like Wind Release, reducing everything in its path to dust.
It could also function like Earth Release, creating Dust Release barriers completely immune to ranged attacks.
And perhaps most impressively, by simply focusing your Ocular Power, you could activate it out of thin air—like Amaterasu.
Far stronger than any ordinary Dust Release.
If the complexity of the Rule Power embedded within it were just a bit higher, it might even qualify as divine power—comparable to Truth-Seeking Balls.
...
With a thought, nine translucent grey-white spheres floated out from behind you.
Then, you used Fire Release to forge a much larger fireball, which hovered directly behind you like a blazing sun. The nine Dust Release "Truth-Seeking Balls" orbited this scorching "sun" like planets.
Using Magnet Release, you took flight, circling several tis in mid-air before coming to a stop.
Whether or not they were true Truth-Seeking Balls didn't matter.
What mattered was how damn cool it looked.
You were only fourteen—right in the middle of your youth. If a young man isn't brimming with pride and swagger, can he really call himself young?
Of course, the power increase from fusing Dust Release was imnse.
Not to ntion its ability to reduce anything to ashes—it overlapped significantly with your Fire Release, which had been derived from the Fire Rule.
The only difference was that Dust Release lacked high temperature but offered more precise cutting.
Fire Release, on the other hand, was a manifestation of the Rule itself and could directly clash with Truth-Seeking Balls.
...
But the greatest improvent was in your physical body.
After fusing Dust Release, your Strength, Speed, and Endurance surged again.
If you needed a point of comparison, it would be like opening another Gate of the Eight Gates.
To put it simply, you had already used the Tsukuyomi and Fugaku's reality-altering genjutsu within the prototype Divine Realm to train yourself up to the point where you could open the Fifth Gate.
At that level, you were already capable of flying by stepping on air, or punching out shockwaves with pure physical power.
And now, you could do those things with only the Fourth Gate.
If you opened the Fifth Gate again, your raw strength could rival even Might Guy's Eight Gates!
In truth, at your current level, strengthening your body mattered far more than mastering new jutsu.
That's why, even knowing you wouldn't be able to obtain the Kekkei Mora any ti soon—maybe not even before your next death—you still chose to invest the ti to gain a Kekkei Tōta.
...
Once the Dust Release fusion was complete and your body had strengthened, you returned to Orochimaru's base.
Not long after, you received a reply from Ryūchi Cave—delivered directly by Orochimaru.
The letter was written personally by the White Snake Sage.
It stated that it had been a very long ti since anyone from the Ōtsutsuki clan had appeared, and welcod you to co train in senjutsu at Ryūchi Cave.
Reading between the lines, there was a subtle air of competition with Mount Myōboku—as if to declare itself the true supre sacred land of the shinobi world.
You couldn't help but smile.
Was Ryūchi Cave trying to copy Mount Myōboku, grooming you into a new "Sage of Six Paths"?
These sacred places are all a bit strange. Do they simply lack the power to act directly? Or do they prefer to use Ōtsutsuki-blooded individuals like you to fight a bloodless "proxy war"?
Surely it's not a sudden burst of generosity or reckless pride…
