[Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple)]:
This is blood that contains immense power. With this power coursing through your veins, you will be invincible!
Effect:
Vitality, perception, and healing power are greatly enhanced. Unlocks the Lock of Seal.
Nothing exceeded Yuma's expectations...
The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan is Kushina's strongest legacy!
As the Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails, she could easily restrain the strongest tailed beasts using the Adamantine Sealing Chains, proving the might of her bloodline.
For Yuma, the ability of the Lock of Seal needed no explanation—it was undoubtedly the Adamantine Sealing Chains!
This sealing technique is deeply embedded within the Uzumaki bloodline, and its power is directly tied to the user's chakra reserves. The stronger the chakra, the more formidable the sealing chains.
The entry also provided another description:
The increase in vitality should be similar to the Senju bloodline. However, the healing power is different.
Unlike the Senju's passive healing abilities, this bloodline offers the unique capability to heal not only oneself but also others. Like Karin Uzumaki in the original series, the user can heal injuries instantly, even through unconventional methods such as consuming blood.
However, Yuma understood the current situation.
This was not the time to study the entry.
At this gathering, Kushina Uzumaki was present. If he installed the entry now, the changes to his chakra would be immediate and impossible to hide from Kushina, who could naturally sense such fluctuations.
After some consideration, Yuma decided to cut off his thoughts about the entry for now.
He joined the conversation with Namikaze Minato and the others.
Soon after, their ramen was prepared and placed before them.
Minato Namikaze stirred his ramen gently before addressing Yuma.
"Yuma... I just returned to Konoha and heard about your recent accomplishments. All I can say is—well done!"
Minato was referring to how Yuma had taken bold actions, killing Uchiha Setsuna and seizing part of the Uchiha police force's power.
As a rare visionary among the ninja, Minato could see beyond the surface. He understood the growing rift between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
Uchiha Setsuna, a hawkish leader, was a staunch supporter of the Hokage's policies. Yet his aggressive stance only deepened the divide between the Uchiha and the village. For Minato, Setsuna's death wasn't necessarily a loss.
Even though Yuma's actions—killing a senior and taking control—violated traditional morality, Minato didn't mind.
As a ninja, he prioritized the village's harmony and strength over rigid principles. And besides...
Yuma's growth was nothing short of monstrous.
His disciple had grown so powerful that even Minato himself might struggle to defeat him now.
The strong always have certain privileges, Minato thought.
"Really? So my teacher thinks so too..." Yuma raised an eyebrow and responded calmly.
At that moment, Kushina, who had been quietly observing, banged her hand on the table and frowned.
"Alright! It's been so long since we've all seen each other. Today's a reunion for the Minato class, so no more talk about business!"
Seeing his fiancée's displeased expression, Minato quickly smiled and relented. "Okay..."
After the Gathering
Later that evening, Yuma returned to his cabin.
Lighting the incense burner, he sat cross-legged in the living room.
With a deep breath, he focused his thoughts.
"System, install the Uzumaki Bloodline entry!"
The entry extraction system immediately executed Yuma's command.
—Buzz!!!
The moment the entry activated, waves of white ripples spread throughout Yuma's body.
"Hiss~ What is this?!" Yuma groaned involuntarily as his body underwent incredible changes.
His blood seemed to come alive, pumping infinite vitality into his body. His senses sharpened, his chakra reserves expanded, and his Sharingan activated reflexively.
—Wow!
Suddenly, four golden chakra chains extended from Yuma's back.
It was the Adamantine Sealing Chains! As they manifested, Yuma could feel the immense power surging through his veins.
At that moment, the system sent a message:
"An entry suggests the fusion of bloodline abilities. Do you wish to proceed?"
Yuma was intrigued. "If it's possible to fuse them, I'll do it. But how much combat value will it cost?"
The system explained that the cost depended on compatibility. Since Yuma possessed Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki bloodlines—closely connected through history—the compatibility was high, and the cost would be relatively low.
Still, with only 370 combat points, Yuma had to be cautious.
The system responded:
"Direct fusion requires 3,000 points. However, if you use the 'Yamata no Jutsu' as a base, the cost is reduced to just 300 points."
"Yamata no Jutsu?" Yuma muttered.
This technique, based on Orochimaru's experiments, was meant to mimic the immortality of the Ōtsutsuki clan. It focused on condensing chakra and reshaping the user's body into a massive eight-headed serpent.
Although Yuma had abandoned practicing the jutsu after learning its drawbacks, he realized its potential as a catalyst for this fusion.
"Alright, use the Yamata no Jutsu as the base and begin the fusion!" Yuma commanded.
—Wow!
The system carried out the order.
The combat points dropped, and the entries trembled as a burst of black light enveloped Yuma.
When the light faded, the system displayed the result:
New Entry: Divine Blood Fusion (Dark Purple)
Yuma stared at the entry in astonishment.
"It's... this?! With the system, I don't even need to work hard to achieve such results!"
He couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power of the new entry, knowing it would elevate him to unimaginable heights.
