'Let's give my body a check-up first...' I started circulating my chakra and inspecting my body, noting every change that had occurred.
The first thing I noticed were my genes and the genetic changes—there were some, but not many. That might be because I was already a Senju. It just got more Otsutsuki and less human.
This change also allowed me to see the properties and structure of Otsutsuki genes more clearly. That gave me another idea: I could delve into research by first taking my own genes, then a genetic sample of a normal human, and comparing them to see the differences between human genes and those mixed with the Otsutsuki bloodline.
With that, I could perform genetic mapping, collect more data, and create even superior genes for myself. Maybe having all the characteristics of an Otsutsuki while retaining human looks would be ideal.
This was also the proper way to use my IQ—scientific research. Otsutsuki genes are good, but that doesn't mean they're perfect. If something can be improved further, then why not?
More than that, the Otsutsuki were immortal—or at least very long-lived. Now, I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish for the same, so of course I'd be studying Otsutsuki genes soon.
So, my first plan would be to generate wealth. All this research requires money. I would create wooden clones and let them leave the village. They'd start different business ventures all over the world.
Once again, I'd need to show off my IQ—but I'm certain that, if utilized properly, my brain is strong enough to control the entire economy of the Shinobi world within ten years.
Then I could replace every Daimyo with people I control—or simply control them—and effectively become the hidden ruler of the world. Once I become immortal, I just need to think about how to survive and thrive for eternity without worrying about anything else.
With this, I can also make Kushina and Tsunade immortal with me. And as for their strength... let's just ask this: have you ever seen a weak Otsutsuki?
Hmm... the sealing of Kurama within Kushina could be a problem. For the initial stages, it's good, but once she becomes stronger, it would be a burden instead—and a weakness too. What if someone takes Kurama out of her? That kind of death would be too lame...
Besides that, being a Jinchuriki would also restrict her freedom a lot. And knowing Kushina, I know that if given the option of whether she wants to become the Jinchuriki or not, she would say no—like any sane person.
Yeah, if you wish to become Kurama's Jinchuriki, I wouldn't consider you sane. What, you think you can tame Kurama and get the Nine Tails mode? No, my friend. The malice sensing would expose your plans of being good to Kurama for power in seconds. Only someone like Naruto, who genuinely wasn't there for selfish reasons, would succeed.
I should devise a plan to make another Uzumaki the Jinchuriki instead. And if it's a female Jinchuriki, then I can guide Minato and her together, keeping the plot somewhat intact. Sure, Naruto may be completely different, but if I myself don't have a child at the time, then Naruto becomes the only option for reincarnation of Ashura.
That's because there are almost no descendants of Ashura left anymore. Myself, Tsunade, and Nawaki from the Senju side. Nagato, Kushina, and a few scattered Uzumaki from the Uzumaki side—that about sums it up. As for the highly mixed Senju within the village? Please. Ashura needs someone talented; not just anyone can be the reincarnation.
And around Naruto's age, there are only Naruto and Karin of Uzumaki descent. So it's safe to say that it will be Naruto—since Ashura should not be a girl...
Wait, there's another factor I ignored... Nawaki. What if he goes and has a child after Sasuke is born? Damn, his child could also be the Ashura reincarnation. Should I let him die? Or at least make him impotent?
Ahh, fuck it. It doesn't matter. I'll get another Uzumaki to be the Jinchuriki and be done with it. If Naruto is born and is the Ashura of the generation, then good—fate has some sort of correcting force. If he isn't, then fuck it. It doesn't matter.
I'll deal with Madara and Kaguya myself. No need for a savior. Although it would be a bit more troublesome, so what? I'd beat them up and make them research materials for further study if needed. No need to think about it anymore.
Besides, it's not like the plot will follow through anyway. I won't let my best friend die just to ensure the plot happens.
Anyway, that's all for later. For now, I need to return to Konoha. So let's first enter in a remote area of the village, then inspect everything in detail to ensure my escapade wasn't found out and my plan was successful. If I just teleport directly to my home and someone senses it, I'd be in trouble. So I'll teleport several times to ensure that even if someone notices, they can't pinpoint the location.
Being extra cautious never hurt anybody. And this is the Naruto-verse, not One Piece, so it's not like I have to awaken Conqueror's Haki or something.
I teleported into an empty alley and suppressed my chakra as best I could. With my six eyes—even more enhanced now—that was an astounding level of control. Yes, just the influx of Yang energy had improved my Rikugan by around 1.5 times. Maybe adding ultimate Yin would enhance it even further.
I scanned my surroundings and looked toward the Root base. Everything was normal. The researchers were back to work. No one noticed anything. It seems my mission was flawless.
I teleported back to my home and went back to sleep, skipping class for the day. Now, this too was essential. Since I skipped class without notice—which I never do, considering I at least send a clone or inform others—Kushina and Minato would probably come to check up on me.
Once they do, I'd send Minato with an application to the academy requesting a week off, citing that I'm a bit sick. Even with my medical skills, I need some rest.
As for Kushina, I'd tell her that my body suddenly feels feverish and hot, and that my chakra is rapidly increasing. I'd tell her to inform Grandma Mito about this too, and send a letter via Katsuyu to Tsunade, then ask them all to keep this a secret.
I'd let them know I suspect I'm awakening my bloodline limit—the Sage Body of the Senju clan. Yes, it can awaken. I checked the records. It's rare, but it happens. Some have it from birth, some awaken it later.
Me not being a pure Senju makes this even more believable. And once all this is done, I can simply drop the bomb on them: "Hehe, I thought I was only awakening the Sage Body, but apparently I awakened the Mokuton too…"
And it would be believable, right?
Well, at least to Kushina, Tsunade, and Grandma Mito, it would be believable, since they won't think much about it.
As for the rest, when there time to learn about it comes, I would already be invincible, they don't need to ask for reasons, they just need to accept facts.
