Naruto: The Ridiculously Talented Uzumaki

After obtaining Isshiki’s eyes, Naruto did not hesitate and released the temporary borrowing of Otohime’s golden Rinnegan through "Ame no Tajikarao".

"Hmm?"

Otohime’s petite body trembled slightly, and with some hesitation, she slowly opened her eyes.

Light returned to her world once more.

Her golden Rinnegan, which had regained their luster, blinked in confusion, and she immediately scanned the battlefield with vigilance.

"Did this guy actually kill Isshiki?"

Otohime whispered to herself, her tone filled with unbelievable shock.

Without her eyes just a moment ago, she could only rely on Chakra perception and sound to judge the battle situation, and was unaware of the specific details of the fight.

Moreover, the duration of this battle from start to finish was actually very short.

"Amazing!"

Just as Otohime was shocked, a young boy’s voice filled with excitement and admiration rang out.

Uzumaki Boruto leaped down from the high slope at the edge of the battlefield, and in a few bounds, rushed to the side of the young Naruto, his face filled with unconcealed excitement and closeness.

"Long time no see, do you still remember me? I’m Boruto!"

Boruto tilted his head up, looking at the "father" before him who was about the same age as himself but had already demonstrated terrifying strength, his eyes shining brightly.

"Hmm, how could I forget you?"

The young Naruto showed a warm and sincere smile, raised his hand, and naturally ruffled Boruto’s golden hair, which resembled his own, just as he would with a close Junior.

"After you left, your grandmother often talked about you! She said you were the most sensible and cutest child she had ever seen."

Although Kushina really liked Boruto, her grandson from the future, and even considered leaving a letter for him before she returned to the Pure Land, she was forced to return before she could finish thinking it through.

As the young Naruto spoke, he glanced nonchalantly at Otohime, who was standing to the side, with his newly acquired black eye, a hint of warning in his gaze.

Otohime keenly perceived this gaze, her cheeks subconsciously puffing out, appearing somewhat annoyed and indignant. However, the situation was stronger than the person; she was currently exhausted of Chakra, her form had regressed, and her injuries were not yet healed, so she was completely incapable of confronting this menace who had just beheaded Isshiki.

She could only sullenly move her feet to stand behind and to the side of the young Naruto, assuming a low-profile posture of "temporarily following your arrangements."

"Is this... that Otsutsuki’s eye?"

At this moment, Adult Sasuke also walked over.

The black rods on his body had been removed or dealt with by Naruto’s Wood Clone. Although his injuries were not light and his aura was weak, he had at least regained his mobility.

He looked at Naruto’s black eye, his brows slightly furrowed, his tone filled with inquiry and concern.

Boruto also followed Sasuke’s gaze, only then noticing the anomaly in Naruto’s eye, and similarly showed a surprised expression.

"Hmm, I suppose so."

The young Naruto nodded, not hiding it, but not explaining it fully either, "This is one of the abilities of my Dōjutsu, ’Ame no Tajikarao’."

He deliberated over his choice of words, "It can permanently seize or temporarily borrow ’anything’ from a person or even an object. The ’things’ here can be a Kekkei Genkai, a special Dōjutsu, certain material properties, or even a certain state. Then, I can also bestow these’seized’ or ’borrowed’ things onto other people or objects."

He pointed to the pool of blood on the ground that belonged to Isshiki, although that blood had also petrified as Isshiki turned into stone.

"The reason I was able to kick Isshiki’s body to pieces just now was because I used ’Ame no Tajikarao’ to briefly ’bestow’ the material property of the ground beneath my feet—that it was ’relatively fragile and brittle’—onto Isshiki. It was equivalent to temporarily modifying the ’defense rules’ of his body."

Naruto omitted another more shocking, and potentially taboo-touching ability of "Ame no Tajikarao": seizing or bestowing "lifespan."

This ability was too terrifying and too sensitive. He did not intend to tell anyone for the time being, including Boruto and Sasuke before him, to avoid causing unnecessary panic or covetousness.

"Your Dōjutsu?"

Adult Sasuke’s brows furrowed even tighter, a flash of doubt crossing his eyes.

He had never heard of Naruto possessing a Dōjutsu, and when he had met this Naruto from another timeline previously, the other party had not used this Dōjutsu either. Moreover, the name "Ame no Tajikarao" did not sound like a conventional Ninjutsu or Kekkei Genkai.

"Hmm." The young Naruto frankly admitted, explaining, "You remember ’Uchiha Hikari’, right?"

Adult Sasuke and Boruto pondered simultaneously.

Uchiha Hikari, that girl who dealt with Urashiki alongside Naruto?

Seeing Adult Sasuke and Boruto show expressions of recollection, he continued, "Orochimaru used my and Hikari’s genes to ’cultivate’ a pair of Sharingan for me in the laboratory."

"When I installed this pair of Sharingan," Naruto paused, recalling the scene at that time, "These eyes evolved directly from three-tomoe into Mangekyo Sharingan, and awakened the ability ’Ame no Tajikarao’."

"What?"

Adult Sasuke, upon hearing this, showed a clear look of shock on his face.

Cultivating Sharingan using genes? Evolving into Mangekyo directly after installation and Awakening a unique Dōjutsu?

Sasuke thought of Uchiha Shin, but those were clones, not directly cloned eyes.

Did Orochimaru’s technology reach this level more than a decade ago?

No, perhaps the key was not the technology, but Naruto himself.

Given Naruto’s rough childhood experiences, the heavy fate he bore, and his extreme emphasis on "bonds," if he really possessed a pair of Sharingan, it would be abnormal if he couldn’t open the Mangekyo.

Moreover, this idea of "using others’ genes to cultivate eyes and installing them on oneself."

Adult Sasuke could be almost certain that this was absolutely not the way of thinking that a pure researcher like Orochimaru would think of first.

Orochimaru would more likely focus on "how to perfectly fuse Bloodline Limits," "how to create new species," or "how to achieve eternal life."

This kind of idea with strong purpose and personal style...

"That’s definitely you."

Adult Sasuke looked at the young Naruto and said with a complex tone, "Orochimaru shouldn’t have actively thought in this direction. This... was your ’idea’, right?"

"Hmm."

The young Naruto smiled somewhat embarrassedly and waved his hand, "Just a little... immature idea. At the time, I was also holding a ’let’s try it and see’ mentality. I didn’t expect Orochimaru to actually be able to do it."

Actually, the Second Hokage likely deserves some credit for this too. With two scientific fanatics together, the speed of Orochimaru’s technological progress had accelerated quite a bit. It’s a pity the Second Hokage was also sealed by the Six Paths Sage.

"So that’s it!"

Boruto, who was nearby, listened with shining eyes, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

He looked excitedly at the Adult Sasuke beside him: "Does that mean... if I use my blood and Sasuke-san’s blood, could I also have Orochimaru cultivate a Mangekyo Sharingan that belongs to me?"

Imagining himself opening the Mangekyo and possessing powerful Dōjutsu, Boruto couldn’t help but be eager to try.

Adult Sasuke expressionlessly raised his right hand and tapped Boruto on the head, neither too lightly nor too heavily.

"It is best not to have such dangerous thoughts."

Sasuke’s voice was calm, but carried an unquestionable admonition.

"Orochimaru is an extremely dangerous and inscrutable guy. Cooperating with him is no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Any research involving Bloodline and fundamental power may hide costs and traps that you cannot imagine."

He glanced at the young Naruto and added, "Naruto’s situation is a special case. He must have his considerations, trump cards, and reasons for having to do so. Do not blindly imitate him."

As a Hidden Leaf Village exchange student who had been to Orochimaru’s, Adult Sasuke knew that guy Orochimaru very well.

Boruto covered his tapped head and pouted, but looking at Sasuke’s serious expression, he suppressed the little thoughts in his heart and then said "Oh."
