Chapter 37: Results

At the same time, when the sun was approaching its sunset. In the Nara clan forest, Shikamaru finally began to recover.

The guy was lying next to a tree, and a brown deer calmly nibbled grass near his head. At some point, Shikamaru's hand began to twitch. The animal immediately noticed his movements ... Just at the same moment, Shikamaru jumped up

- Haa! - from this loud sigh, the Deer trembled and rushed frightened into the forest. In the same second, Shikamaru's gaze instantly moved to the fleeing figure. But as soon as that happened, Shikamaru suddenly grimaced.

- Aah you ... How bright ... - the new eyes were very sensitive. The vision was so sharp that it was difficult to concentrate. The light burned, from which the eyes began to water ... Slowly rubbing them, Shikamaru tried to adapt to the light.

This time, the guy's body changed, but these changes were different from those that occurred due to the bloodline of the Kaguya clan. This time, the skin was mostly not flaking, rather a lot of different fluids flowed out of Shikamaru, mainly from the head and eyes. Changing, the body gains something, but also spends energy for this and at the same time loses something. The system worked in such an unusual way ... Shikamaru was already used to this, so using his ear, he slowly walked to the river and began to wash.

At some point, he was finally able to see normally. True, this "normal" was different from his expectations. Even normal vision, without the Sharingan, was very sharp. In the past, Shikamaru had good eyesight, but now she has become several times better, it was amazing.

Of course, having received this bloodline, he wondered if he could be considered an Uchiha? Probably, his purity and bloodline strength is an order of magnitude superior to the current Uchiha, and after taking the pills, it is even possible to compare with the strength of Indra's bloodline. Although, of course, one should not forget that Indra is a direct descendant of Kaguya's son, so he may be a purebred Uchiha, but also related to оtsutsuki. So all Uchiha to some extent have distant genes of the divine clan, but in the case of Shikamaru, this may not be the case. Although, it was difficult to talk about it. The system was rather incomprehensible in this regard.

In any case, purity was of little use, it all depended on strength. But strength did not give as many advantages as it might seem. The same Sharingan did not depend on the strength of the Uchiha bloodline. Even the system didn't say that. All that the Uchiha blood gave was good compatibility with the "Fire" element and the unique structure of the brain. But only compatibility with fire depended on the strength of the genealogy, the rest could not be strengthened. So by raising the power of the bloodline, Shikamaru will not be able to enhance his eye techniques, no matter how much he wants to. Of course, that would be too much ... He has already received many benefits.

After rinsing in the river, Shikamaru quickly changed his clothes and brushed his wet hair aside. The big hair was a bit uncomfortable, so the guy was planning to get rid of it somehow. Usually he was not used to long hair, but leaving a little was possible. Of course, not the same as now ...

`` Okay, I'll deal with them later ... '' After combing them back, Shikamaru quickly sat down by a tree and mentally said with anticipation:

"Status!"

He was already eager to look at the results of his labors, even after receiving the Kaguya clan's bloodline, he did not look at the status, deliberately delaying this moment. He was just sure the next status review should surprise him ...

"Here, I understand that ..." Smiling at the markedly increased performance, Shikamaru was finally pleased. Of course, one cannot say that he achieved super results. In terms of chakra volume, he was definitely inferior to Genin, but even surpassed in endurance.

As it was already known, the power of the pedigree did not extend to the genome, but only to the special indicator that the pedigree gave. For Nara, this is an improvement in the possession of the "Yin" element, for the Uchiha the "Fire" element, but for Kaguya, three indicators are amplified, for every ten percent an additional point of three characteristics.

Not bad enough, Shikamaru was already pretty close to Genin and completing the next assignment with a decent reward. Unfortunately, a few more indicators did not reach, and he also lacked several E-rank techniques.

Thanks to all the transformations he underwent and the acquisition of Kaguya's bloodline, Shikamaru even had a bit of Yang compatibility. Most recently, he realized something important about yin and yang compatibility. The main thing is that compatibility does not give any benefit in the accumulation of chakra. Simply put, even if he has acquired one hundred percent compatibility with the Yin element, the amount of his spiritual energy will not change at all. It will not even affect its accumulation or growth rate. So his first thoughts on this matter were wrong. Simply put, thanks to his improved Yin skills, all his Yin-based techniques will be stronger than normal ones. This is the only plus, that's all. In principle, this was reasonable, because if it also affected the amount of chakra, it would be too easy to develop.

Training is mainly influenced by talent. Therefore, Shikamaru does not have that much chakra, because he hardly ever trained. Only thanks to the experienced difficulties in gaining strength, he raised his reserves quite a bit. But this is of course sheer trifles, even Genin has two times more chakras. Except for monsters like the jinchūriki, of course ...

Regarding the elements, he was a little difficult to understand here, but Shikamaru, in principle, began to understand this after reading a couple of books about chakra. Well, memories also helped ... The same Madara, for example, had such a strong element of fire that he could easily withstand the water techniques of dozens of shinobi of the alliance, and this despite the fact that water by nature suppresses the flame. This speaks of the power of the elements. If a shinobi has greater elemental compatibility, this affects his transformation and the power of elemental techniques. By using it even against what is naturally stronger, the one who is capable of the stronger transformation wins. The wind may intensify the flame, but a really strong wind is quite capable of extinguishing it. Of course, here the chakra also played a role, without this, of course, no where. But even a bunch of chakra won't save you from Madara's good fireball.

So the improved mastery of the elements directly affects the strength of the elements and everything, and those, in turn, on the techniques using these elements. That is why, improved possession of "Yin" Shikamaru did not affect the amount of spiritual energy, because in fact, it influenced precisely its strength, that's all.

The improvements in conversion percentages weren't the only thing that changed. Two new genomes were also noteworthy. As in the description, they had fifty percent strength from the beginning. That was already quite worthy and gave good bonuses. Even if the Sharingan was not awakened, Shikamaru was not worried. With his current talent for increasing chakra and learning E-rank techniques, it won't be difficult. Even if it doesn't work out, after a year he will still complete one task, so five thousand points is just a matter of time.

His current strength has grown quite well without training, but of course, one cannot say that he is really any special. In principle, the same Kakashi was probably stronger than him at a similar age, at six, for sure.

It may seem like Shikamaru is just sitting and buying power, but in reality, he is preparing the foundations for future development. Now having two good bloodlines, he was quite ready to start hard training and no longer worry about the glasses of fate, at least temporarily. Any sane person entering another world with such a system would probably do so.
