Now he had the bloodlines of Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha.
So if he wanted to quickly improve his combat strength, he needed to integrate a new combat system.
Naruto's detection ability had always been supported by Kagura's Mind's Eye.
And Byakugan was also a good assistant.
Although it overlapped with Kagura's Mind's Eye, it wasn't a waste—because the two abilities could handle different situations.
So Naruto set his sights on the Byakugan.
But just as he was about to start the simulation, Naruto realized a problem.
He couldn't randomly get the surname he wanted every time.
So Naruto needed to prepare several alternative surnames.
Only that way could he make sure the simulation chances weren't wasted.
Naruto fell into deep thought again.
Aside from the Byakugan, what other powerful inherited abilities existed in the ninja world?
Dead Bone Pulse?
Forget it.
There would be blood disease issues.
And Naruto had never seen a strong Shikotsumyaku user.
He'd never heard of it having any real impact on later battles.
The only impressionable thing was Kaguya's death…
But whether that even counted as Dead Bone Pulse was another question.
Moreover, Kaguya was from the Ōtsutsuki lineage, which was still different from Dead Bone Pulse.
So Naruto excluded Shikotsumyaku.
Or…
Maybe Kurama Yakumo's five-senses control?
Although people who awakened that bloodline were physically weak…
Naruto was different—his physique was far beyond ordinary.
And the five-senses manipulation was extremely powerful. It could turn illusions into terrifying, realistic nightmares. Who wouldn't be scared by that?
So that became another goal:
Dominate the five senses!
Or the Byakugan.
As for ocular powers, the only other strong ones Naruto could think of were the Tenseigan and Pure Eye.
As for things like Rinnegan and Sharingan—
Naruto would awaken those on his own in the future.
But the requirements for Tenseigan and Pure Eye were extremely harsh.
So Naruto could only keep it in mind: get them if possible; if not, forget it.
These were things one encountered by chance, not by seeking.
So Naruto began the simulation with a few goals in mind.
…
First simulation…
Nothing obtained.
Second and third simulations—also no results.
At that moment, Naruto noticed that the incense he'd lit had burned out, so he lit several more.
"No matter what god you are, please bless me. This incense is my offering."
Naruto muttered, then laughed.
He only treated it like superstition at first, but he didn't expect he'd become increasingly serious about it.
Shaking his head, Naruto continued the simulation.
Fourth simulation—failed…
…
Finally, during the seventh simulation, Naruto chose the surname of the Hyuga clan.
And the accompanying attributes weren't bad either.
After thinking for a while, Naruto decided to choose the time period before the Third Great Ninja War.
Because there was a chance he would be randomly assigned as Hiashi.
Hiashi was strong, but in terms of talent, it wasn't clear if he was inferior to Neji.
More importantly—Hiashi was a main family member.
There was a big difference between the Byakugan of the main family and the branch family.
Even if he didn't get placed as Hiashi, at least he might still be a main family member…
Thinking this, Naruto finalized the attributes and time, then continued the simulation.
He had no expectations for the character's strength.
After all, there were no top-tier masters in the Hyuga clan.
All Naruto needed was the Byakugan.
One pair installed by the system would be more compatible for him.
Just like that, the simulation began.
And then…
Although he wasn't assigned as Hiashi, he was still from the main family.
"That's not bad… continue."
…
After a while, Naruto's simulation ended.
After receiving the reward, he immediately chose Byakugan.
[Ding~ Host consumes character reward card: Hyuga, and successfully obtains 'Byakugan'.]
[Ding~ Mission complete. Reward: Simulation chance +5]
[Ding~ New system mission: Increase combat power to 500,000
Reward: Simulation chance +6]
The simulation ended, and Naruto obtained the Byakugan.
But his normal eye color didn't change.
The abilities of the Byakugan and Sharingan were merged into a single pair of eyes, which felt a bit strange.
Naruto raised his hand and formed a seal. "Byakugan, open!"
The veins around his eyes slowly bulged, and his pupils turned white and sharp.
The surrounding environment turned black and white, and streams of chakra appeared in front of him.
As long as Naruto focused, he could push his vision outward—
And it felt like there was no limit!
Naruto kept testing, looking straight from the training ground toward the Hokage Rock.
There, Tsunade's Hokage Rock carving was nearly complete.
Hm?
What's happening on the Hokage Rock?
Naruto frowned and raised his gaze slightly.
There, three chakras surrounded one smaller chakra.
The chakra in the middle was very weak, but its mental fluctuations were abnormally strong.
Of course, compared to Naruto, these chakras were nothing.
But what was happening there?
Curious, Naruto closed his eyes, stood up from the training ground, extinguished the incense, and apologized sincerely:
"Sorry, deity who was blessing me. Because you didn't bless me and the flames cooled too fast… the crematorium phase will come later."
…
"Hey! Come chase me! If you catch me, I'll give it back!"
"Yeah, yeah! You're so weak, this is good exercise."
"Hehehe~ Do you think she's just pretending to be sick?"
Several children ran around, laughing and chasing each other.
One of them held a drawing board.
Behind the three children, a girl in a wheelchair watched with a blank expression.
Not far away—
A small mark on the Fourth Hokage's Rock began to flicker.
Naruto's figure appeared, and the next moment, a shout rang in his ears.
"Hey! What are you doing standing there? It's dangerous! Move back!"
Naruto turned and saw the sculptor working on Tsunade's Rock face scolding him.
Well… there really were a lot of good people in this world.
Before Naruto could reply, the man shouted again:
"Seriously! Don't you know I have to fix these rocks if you damage them? You brats! No sense of responsibility at all! You'll get punished someday!!!"
Naruto: "…"
Naruto shook his head silently, then leapt toward his destination.
And then…
He left a small crater where he was standing.
Craftsman: "*/?.***/4!!!"
…
The three naughty kids were running around, but suddenly they found someone standing in their way.
Naruto smiled kindly. "Hey, what are you three doing?"
The kids froze in shock.
But one of them noticed Naruto didn't have a forehead protector, assumed Naruto was just some nobody and not a ninja, and immediately got bolder.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking us?"
