"Naruto Talent Entry: Awakened Legacy – Born of the Ōtsutsuki Bloodlin

Lz anamI's second-year curriculum wasn't much different from his first year. Cultural courses remained the same, only more challenging. In the afternoons, physical training was replaced by intensive Chakra exercises. Those who hadn't been advised to drop out by now presumably had extracted sufficient Chakra; if they completed the six-year program step by step, they'd become Genin under the mentorship of Jonin—or be recruited into specialized departments. The odds of wasting six years only to revert to civilian life were slim.

The next five years would focus on intelligence-gathering and assassination techniques. These topics bored IzanamI—he found them far too basic. Just a few days in, he abandoned his initial plan and made Izayoi's shadow clone attend classes in his stead, while he stayed home to cultivate.

Though he couldn't practice Five Elements Ninjutsu alone at home, he could work on forging original Ninjutsu. Developing new techniques demanded a strong foundation in nature or form transformation, but IzanamI, as a transmigrator, recognized a unique path: the Rasengan. This A-rank, non-elemental, shapeless technique had been developed by the Fourth Hokage over many years, inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball. It was the signature technique that Naruto himself continued to refine, and famously the only Ninjutsu in canon with a fully taught training method. That method was deeply ingrained in every Naruto fan's mind—and in IzanamI's.

However, IzanamI didn't intend to use the Rasengan merely as a trump card. Instead, he sought to evolve it into a new signless Ninjutsu: the Super Hurricane Serial Spheres—essentially a multi-ball variant that echoed the Giant Spiraling Shuriken used by Ōtsutsuki Asura in the anime, and similar to Naruto's Planetary Rasengan. The technique worked by generating a massive Rasengan—only slightly smaller than the Giant Rasengan—and introducing five Rasengan-sized balls rotating inside it. Like Rasenshuriken, it could be thrown or launched. Upon impact, all six spheres would detonate in a cascade, and by infusing elemental attributes—or even combining all five elements à la the Third Hokage's "Five Paths: Great Continuous Technique"—the destructive power would be cataclysmic.

Without the Ōtsutsuki Bloodline (Red) and Full Attribute Constitution (Purple) entries, IzanamI wouldn't even have entertained the idea—he'd have been content simply learning the classic Rasengan. But his talents—signless affinity from Ōtsutsuki blood, full-element potential, and upgraded purple-level Chakra control—gave him the confidence to pursue this advanced technique.

Thanks to his impeccable Chakra control, mastering the Rasengan took him only a week. Next came expanding it to the size of a basketball, maintaining its stability, and experimenting with embedding smaller energy spheres within it. But this wasn't something he could safely practice at home—if an accident happened, the damage would be catastrophic. So he waited for the Uchiha Clan's scheduled destruction to be completed elsewhere before stepping into the field.

Days turned into weeks, and finally May 15th arrived. That afternoon, second-year students typically had only two or three classes before returning home. But today, instructors held an extended survival exercise that lasted until dusk. Following that, the regular 5 pm dismissal was delayed.

The Uchiha compound, situated near the Nanga River on Konoha's outskirts, was not far—easily reachable with the Body Flicker Technique. But Sasuke Uchiha, weary after a long day, walked home at a natural pace. By the time he arrived, night had fallen. The full moon and the crimson glow of the setting sun painted a haunting scene through the blood-red sky.

Izayoi's shadow clone caught a glimpse of Sasuke's figure slipping into the compound. He understood this was the moment—a turning point. Gone was the boy who treated grades and family honor lightly; in his place stood one who took both seriously, prone to emotional volatility and unpredictable reactions.

IzanamI, who had waited a full year for this moment, watched with grim satisfaction. Though he felt a pang of guilt—after all, Sasuke was another transmigrator—he recognized that sacrifice was necessary for his own ascent.

The next morning, news of a shocking event ripped through Konoha and quickly spread across the Ninja World. The Uchiha Clan—the most formidable clan in Konoha and the ninja world (famed for their bloodline techniques, Copy Eye, and Genjutsu prowess)—had been annihilated. And the perpetrator was not a rival clan, not Konoha's leadership, but the clan patriarch's own son, Uchiha Itachi, only 13 years old.

Within days, Itachi's name became infamous—dubbed the youngest S‑Rank missing-nin ever reported. IzanamI had just stepped outside when he heard villagers gossiping about the massacre; it was a moment of seismic impact, rivaling the Nine-Tails attack 48 years earlier. In only a few short years, Konoha had seen the demise of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, multiple Kage-level ninjas, and now their greatest clan.

This was easily the weakest period in Konoha's history. Only the elderly Third Hokage remained among active Kage-level defenders. After the Nine-Tails incident, Konoha had endured persistent threats, particularly from the Cloud. Now, vulnerable without their top clan, Konoha ought to be bracing for a larger attack. Yet, conspicuously, no external assaults followed. The Great Ninja Villages had evidently noticed something amiss—and chosen to hold back for now.
