Konoha Year 77.
Another three years passed in the blink of an eye. Yuzuru moved the two smooth, fair, long legs draped over him aside.
Looking at Hinata Hyūga and Hanabi Hyūga, whose brows were faintly furrowed, Yuzuru hummed a little tune as he made his way to the front courtyard.
He was in a good mood.
The Uchiha clan's population was about to break through ninety thousand, which meant he was about to gain another chance at bloodline evolution.
And this...
Had only taken three years.
"I wonder if evolving the Hyūga clan's bloodline to 100% will awaken the Tenseigan."
Yuzuru murmured to himself.
Right now, he possessed many bloodlines. It would not be an exaggeration to say they encompassed nearly everything.
Once he finished evolving the Hyūga bloodline, he should be able to directly awaken the Tenseigan, right?
Yuzuru was still very much looking forward to many of the Tenseigan's abilities.
Especially the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
He could hardly imagine just how handsome he would look after entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode!
While Yuzuru was silently pondering this, Kushina came to his side.
"Husband, you're finally awake."
Yuzuru asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Early this morning, Orochimaru sent someone to notify us. He said there was something important and wanted you to go over."
Hearing that, Yuzuru's heart stirred.
Ever since he had handed over all the cultivation methods related to Sage Art training that he had collected, Orochimaru had not contacted him for a long time.
Now that he was suddenly looking for him, could it be that a cultivation method suitable for humans had already been compiled?
Thinking of this, Yuzuru smiled and said, "Then I'll go over now."
"You're not going to keep me company?"
"Uh..."
Seeing the resentful look in Kushina's eyes, Yuzuru rubbed his nose.
"Get ready tonight, and wait for me to come back."
Only after hearing Yuzuru's words did Kushina let out a soft snort.
"That's more like it. Go on, then."
Watching Kushina's graceful figure drift away, Yuzuru stroked his chin and fell into thought.
He was determined to be a man of boundless love and would never let any of his women feel neglected.
But sometimes, when he got busy, there were inevitably areas he failed to take care of.
Once or twice was fine, but if it went on for too long, it was hard to say what problems might arise.
It seemed that in the future, he would have to properly draw up a schedule.
Yuzuru reflected on himself seriously for a moment before activating Kamui and vanishing from the spot.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived at Orochimaru's experimental base.
"Yuzuru, you're here."
Seeing Yuzuru appear, Orochimaru, who had long been waiting, revealed a faint smile.
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and asked, "Orochimaru, what did you call me here for this time?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru did not rush to answer. Instead, he pointed at Kimimaro and Jūgo beside him.
"You two, demonstrate it for Yuzuru."
"Yes!"
Kimimaro and Jūgo nodded in response, then brought their hands together.
The next second, a flame-patterned mark appeared at the center of both their foreheads.
A powerful aura emanated from their bodies.
Yuzuru's heart stirred.
This... was the aura of Natural Energy!
"Yuzuru, I've already finished researching the cultivation method you asked me to study."
"This method combines the strengths of each cultivation method. It can temper the body while also strengthening spiritual power."
"In places where Natural Energy is abundant, one can directly draw upon the power of heaven and earth for one's own use."
"In places where Natural Energy is scarce, one can also use the Natural Energy stored within oneself to enter Sage Mode."
"Moreover, with the help of Natural Energy, cultivators can completely abstain from food."
"As long as Natural Energy is abundant, there will be no problem even if they neither eat nor drink."
"Of course, this method also has its flaws."
"Only those who can sense and absorb Natural Energy are able to practice it."
After hearing Orochimaru's description, Yuzuru laughed several times.
"Orochimaru, I really didn't misjudge you."
"I'll accept this cultivation method."
With this cultivation method, the plan he had to herd the universe now had the foundation needed for realization.
After all, in the universe, the one thing that was never lacking was Natural Energy.
As for the difficulty of cultivation...
For the Uchiha clan members empowered by the [Clan of God] entry, that was not a problem at all.
Because every member of the Uchiha clan possessed a constitution capable of absorbing Natural Energy.
"Orochimaru, Jūgo has a constitution that can naturally absorb Natural Energy, so you can try combining his cells with Shin's cells."
"As long as you can make it so Jūgo's cells no longer cause rejection when transplanted into another person's body, the era where everyone can practice Sage Arts will arrive."
Hearing this, Orochimaru's eyes lit up.
"As expected of Yuzuru. Just a casual remark from you is enough to suddenly open my eyes."
Yuzuru waved his hand and smiled. "Then I'll be leaving first. See ya."
Yuzuru named the cultivation method Orochimaru had written Heaven-Man Resonance.
Its meaning was to use the human body to communicate with heaven and earth, thereby obtaining incomparably powerful strength.
And the first batch of cultivators of Heaven-Man Resonance were naturally all the members of the Uchiha clan.
Under the enhancement of the [Clan of God] entry, the Uchiha clan members easily learned how to draw energy into their bodies.
Although the Natural Energy in the ninja world was extremely sparse and could not greatly amplify their power, this was still enough to signify that the Uchiha clan had become an existence transcending all other ninja clans.
They had become a true Clan of God!
Three months quickly passed, and the Uchiha clan's population broke through once again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Your clan population has increased by another than ten thousand. Bloodline evolution count +1!]
[Current clan population: ninety thousand!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Yuzuru slowly opened his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly said, "Evolve the Hyūga clan bloodline."
[Ding! The host has consumed one bloodline evolution chance to evolve the Hyūga clan bloodline.]
[Current Hyūga clan bloodline evolution progress: 100%!]
[Ding! The Hyūga clan bloodline's current evolution progress is 100%! Gained one chance to draw a clan entry!]
As the system's voice faded, Yuzuru felt a warm current surge into his body.
This warm current flowed through his entire body before finally gathering in his eyes.
In an instant, all information related to the Byakugan and Tenseigan surfaced one by one in Yuzuru's mind.
"As expected, it's just as I thought. After evolving the Hyūga clan bloodline to 100%, I actually awakened the Tenseigan directly."
