'Hmm…is this the legendary system? The golden finger reserved for all transmigrators and reincarnators?'
'But my system, why did you appear all of a sudden when two legends of the shinobi world surround me?'
'What if they find out?'
He made a cute face that could melt any adult's heart before glancing at Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito.
When he confirmed they didn't react to any sound or weren't looking at the system panel, he finally sighed in relief.
'But what does this Ultimate Growth system do?'
As his mind was whirling with countless thoughts, he focused on the system panel.
[Name: Otsutsuki -------
Age: 2 months 19 days
Physique: 5
Spirit: 6
Chakra: 479/486
Bloodline: Otsutsuki Bloodline Lv.5
Affinity: Fire Lv.5, Water Lv.4, Earth Lv.5, Wind Lv.4, Lightning Lv.5, Yin Lv.4, Yang Lv.3
Skills: None]
'Well, that's a pretty neat and clean system."
'But what does those levels mean? And how do I upgrade them? There's no point allocation system like RPG here. So, I guess I need to train a lot.'
After some thought, he focused on his bloodline and Fire affinity section. Instantly, he saw that these columns revealed more details.
[Bloodline: Otsutsuki Bloodline Lv.5 (30,877 /100,000)
→Sharingan—Three Tomoe Lv.3 (398 /10,000)
→Tenseigan Lv.1 (644 /1,000)]
[Fire Affinity Lv.5 (3,512 /5,000)]
'So, I have to grind to get proficiency points and level up, huh?'
He figured that he would probably have to train a lot to accumulate proficiency points.
How would these points work?
He didn't know.
But since he had a system, he should at least have an easier time learning new things.
And the best part—it seemed that his system would allow him to evolve his bloodline and eyes too as long as he used them persistently.
It would be best if that was the case.
He would have to figure all that out when he grows up a bit.
For now, he was a child. So, he could only wait and do baby things.
And most importantly…
'It looks like I have got a pretty good headstart thanks to my Otsutsuki bloodline.'
'I already have all seven chakra attributes. So, I don't have to develop new attributes painstakingly. Plus, most attributes are Lv.4 or above.'
'I don't know how good Lv.4 or Lv.5 is. But they should be pretty good.'
'And I already have three tomoe Sharingan and Tenseigan.'
'God damn it. Three tomoe from the start. Is this the perks of being an Otsutsuki? And it looks like whatever my ghostly father did helped me awaken Tenseigan.'
'Well, it killed this body's original owner's thought. But don't worry! I will take this body with gratitude and live a good life for both of us.😎😎'
He was lampooning more and more. But thinking too much took a toll on his baby mind.
Now, he was feeling drowsy. After all, he was still a baby, and babies are used to getting tired easily.
'Whatever. I will bite the bullet when the time comes. For now, I just want to sleep.'
With this, his consciousness finally drifted to the dreamland.
-----------------
As Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito discussed adopting the child Tobirama had found, they saw him slowly falling asleep.
Mito asked, "Do you truly want to adopt this child?"
Tobirama nodded his head and said, "Yes. This child is quite talented. And Konoha's orphanage system isn't very efficient right now."
"You know how many wounds the Warring State Period has left."
"Even though we have established a village to protect young children and shinobi from going into the battlefields every day, it still has thousands of orphans."
"The orphanage system is so crowded that we are already raising dozens of children with the potential to be ninjas in our clan."
"Adding another one won't be an issue."
"Plus, I'm already over 40 years old. I also want to settle down now. I have fought enough."
Tobirama expressed his opinion as he thought about his life so far.
Since he was a child, he and his siblings had to step onto the battlefields to protect their family.
Because of the constant war and tension of the Warring States period, many shinobi died young. The clansmen who reached the natural end of their lifespan were so few he could count them in his hands.
Senju clan was famous for its strong vitality.
If there were no war, a Jonin-class Shinobi of their clan would have lived for at least 150 years.
Those who achieved Kage-level chakra quantity and physical fitness like Tobirama could have had a lifespan of 300+ years.
However, constant war killed many people while they were still young. Over 90% of clansmen who stepped onto the battlefield died before they could even reach their 30s.
It was a cruel era that killed people every second.
His father died. Two of his younger brothers died before they could even savor their teenage years.
And now, his brother has less than a couple of decades to live because of his injuries.
He, who was in his 40s, now really tired of constant war.
He now wanted to settle down, find a way to cure his brother, research new Ninjutsu, and raise a worthy heir.
As for marriage and romance, he didn't have time for these shit.
He watched the sleeping child with determination and then turned his gaze toward his sister-in-law.
"I have decided. I will adopt this child as my own and raise him to be a true Senju."
"Even if he's not a Senju by blood, he has immense vitality surpassing most clansmen. Nobody would be able to raise a complaint."
As he declared this, he gazed at the child again and said…
"You have immense vitality symbolizing "Ultimate Life."
"From this moment onwards, you will be known as Seimei. Senju Seimei—the son of Senju Tobirama."
Mito watched his brother-in-law naming the sleeping child with a smile.
"Senju Seimei. What a beautiful name. I will go find your brother and share the good news."
Tobirama watched his sister-in-law go and rubbed the smooth snow-white hair of the child gently.
While all this was happening, the child's system also went through an update and flashed a new notification.
Ding~
