[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the green trait 'Fate's Apprentice.']
Fate's Apprentice (Green): The fate of the living is turbulent and unpredictable, while the fate of the dead shines like a falling star. Life is uncertain, and destiny can change. By actively interfering with and altering another's fate, the host can absorb the free-floating, ownerless power of fate that dissipates when major changes occur in soone's destiny, thereby increasing their own luck.
"This effect..."
Yamanaka Shinno furrowed his brows, pondering for a mont before understanding how this trait actually worked.
According to its description—
When a person's fate undergoes a significant change, new fate energy is generated, and their original fate energy is released into the world, becoming temporarily ownerless.
This kind of power is elusive and intangible.
However, Fate's Apprentice allows him to absorb these scattered fragnts of fate energy and convert them into personal luck.
Luck!
A trademark of the chosen ones, no?
"...Not bad."
Shinno grinned and activated the trait without hesitation.
Just now, he had altered Yugito Nii's fate.
Even though he was currently thousands of miles away from her, fate energy wasn't bound by distance, was it?
Even if the odds were slim, it wasn't impossible!
Besides, if the absorption range turned out to be limited, he could take note of it for future instances when he changed soone's fate.
Buzz~
The mont Fate's Apprentice activated, Shinno felt an inexplicable sense of clarity and comfort spreading throughout his body.
The world around him remained the sa, yet it seed more vivid to his eyes.
And then—a strange, indescribable power, drawn by the trait, surged toward him from the direction of Kumogakure and quickly integrated into his being.
It actually worked?
"The absorption range of this trait... Damn, that's impressive!"
While praising the trait, Shinno also patted himself on the back for his smart decision.
Good thing he had activated Fate's Apprentice right away on a whim.
Otherwise, wouldn't that have been a complete waste?
Although he couldn't precisely asure how much his personal luck had increased or what level it was currently at—
As long as he had this trait, he could keep altering people's fates and stacking his luck. How could he not end up as the most beloved existence of the world's consciousness?
Besides...
Shinno glanced at the system interface, where a random green trait upgrade chance was available, and felt an increasing sense of excitent.
Currently, he only had three green traits: Master Sidekick, dicated Milk, and Fate's Apprentice.
Should he take a gamble?
Hell no. That's exactly what Tsunade would do.
A one-in-three chance? Might as well call it a guaranteed loss!

...
Only three green traits in total.
With nine Trait Gift chances in hand, he could easily give away Master Sidekick.
As for dicated Milk...
There were a few ways to handle it.
One option was to use Trait Replication to copy a dical-ninjutsu-related trait and fuse it with dicated Milk.
But that would be a huge waste.
Fate-related traits were incredibly valuable, but Trait Replication opportunities were just as rare.
Even back in Kumogakure, Shinno had refrained from using it to copy the Third Raikage's red trait.
No way he was squandering it now!
Another option was to downgrade the green trait to a white one.
The downside? His dical ninjutsu skills would likely be gone forever.
And the goal of developing his own Self-Reincarnation Jutsu would beco much harder to achieve.
The last option? Trait Reset.
Maybe he could get a better version out of it.
But... that also carried a gambler's risk.
What if it reset into another green trait?
Mock Tsunade, Understand Tsunade, Beco Tsunade... Gamble!
After deliberating for a long ti, Shinno ultimately decided to use the Trait Reset option first.
Now that he had a fate-related trait enhancing his luck—
Who's to say he wouldn't strike gold?
[Reminder: Fate-related traits do not interfere with system functions. Trait reset outcos are entirely random.]
"Shut up! Reset the green trait dicated Milk for !"
[Reset complete. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the blue trait 'Euphoric Healing.']
Euphoric Healing (Blue): When using dical ninjutsu, the nature of the jutsu undergoes various mystical transformations, allowing the recipient to experience supre bliss while eliminating the pain usually associated with treatnt. Increases mastery over Yang Release. Enhances efficiency when learning, refining, improving, or creating dical ninjutsu. Boosts dical jutsu control, chakra control, healing speed, and treatnt effectiveness.
"I knew it! Today's my lucky day!"
As the flood of dical knowledge and practical experience poured into his mind, Shinno couldn't stop the grin from spreading across his face.
This—this is what they call fortune smiling upon you!
Though blue-level dical ninjutsu traits were still a step away from enabling him to develop Self-Reincarnation Jutsu, he had undeniably taken a huge leap forward.
Now, all he needed to do was find more references for similar techniques.
Then, he'd pay a visit to his dear Tsunade-nee-san and get his hands on so of her treasured dical ninjutsu scrolls.
One word—
Steady!
"Now, let's see who gets Master Sidekick."
Shinno moved swiftly through the dense forests of the Land of Fire.
After traveling for half a day, he finally used Spatial Awareness to sense a specific coordinate roughly a hundred kiloters outside of Konoha.
Leaving his Flying Thunder God marker on the nearby tree trunk, he ford a single-hand seal and activated the space-ti technique.
With a flicker, he and En Oyashiro vanished—
Reappearing instantly at their destination.
Long-range teleportation required exponentially more chakra.
But with his Sage's Body, this level of consumption was insignificant.
Noticing the hidden mark carved onto the rock—Sword of Shinobi Love—
Shinno silently acknowledged Minato's foresight.
One day, he vowed, he'd carve his Flying Thunder God markers across every corner of the shinobi world!
While Spatial Awareness couldn't let him sense a marker all the way from Konoha to Kumogakure—
As long as he placed enough markers along the way, getting there would be just a few teleportations away.
Confirming a nearby coordinate closer to Konoha, he teleported once more—
Arriving in a forest less than a kiloter from Konoha's main gates.
Not wanting to reveal Flying Thunder God too soon, Shinno picked up En Oyashiro and began walking toward the village like a proper traveler.
