Chapter 57: The Uzumaki

So Shikamaru decided to start with the foundation he had been striving for for so long. Since there were many incomprehensible genealogies in the system, he temporarily did not touch them, although there were curious specimens with unique Kekkei Genkai. Moreover, there were even those about which he read from the records in the library, about the disappeared clans. For example, the lineage of the Rinha clan with a special Genome or the Genome of the Kato clan, which has long been extinct since the founding of the village. Kato had a unique trait that allowed them to master all five elements from birth. And that was only a small part of the special Genomes in the system. There were no less than a dozen dojutsu ...

But, Shikamaru decided to choose what he at least knew and understood from memories. It was not yet time to take risks. Still, the system did not give such detailed information, but simply the main advantages of the pedigree, but not any disadvantages. There was no word about the same problem of awakening the Sharingan in the system. If Shikamaru's ignorance about this, it would definitely be more difficult.

So the first thing he chose was of course the Uzumaki bloodline ... It was very useful, both now and in the future.

After choosing the desired pedigree in the system, then everything happened as usual. The glasses were deducted and a strange power flowed into Shikamaru's body. As soon as this happened, a long and difficult pain followed again.

The process took several hours, and this time the guy lost consciousness again. The pain of accepting the Uzumaki bloodline was far greater than he initially thought. But, this was already familiar, so he quickly finished with it, ceasing to pay attention to such disadvantages of the new strength ...

Rising out of the mud and slimy liquid, Shikamaru quickly washed in the river and came ashore. It was very helpful that the Naka River passed around the village, and the Uzumaki clan was quite close to it, although they had to walk a little to the very edge of the Sensitive Barrier ...

After finishing with Uzumaki's power, Shikamaru proceeded to the next part of the plan. He didn't want to focus much on this. If the hair hasn't changed color, he was already happy with it. He could not even imagine himself being red-haired ...

Crouching on the beach, Shikamaru placed a small bag in front of him and pulled out several bottles of liquid:

Special elixir of element enhancement

Elixir of muscle strengthening

Elixir of Bone Strengthening

The two elixirs of fortification were a dark green liquid in small transparent bottles, and the elixir of reinforcement had a cloudy dark purple hue. Without worrying about anything, Shikamaru quickly drank the fortification elixirs one by one.

Ten minutes later, having finished their slightly unpleasant assimilation, he proceeded to the elixir of amplification. This elixir was called special for a reason. Its unique feature was precisely in the strengthening of five elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning. Unfortunately, the elements Yin and Yang were not included in this list, as there was another special elixir for them. Besides, the elixir would be useless after 100% compatibility with the element. Although Shikamaru has surpassed this limit due to his pedigree, in fact, he still would not have been able to show a transformation above one hundred percent due to body limitations. Of course, this was fixable by other special abilities that he did not yet have ...

In any case, Shikamaru hasn't decided to start taking this elixir yet. He only put it aside temporarily ... In fact, he had to increase all the indicators of the elements by as much as five percent, which would help him complete one task to master the five elements. Of course, there was not much difference, the percentages will probably be the same ...

But, Shikamaru decided to strengthen the bloodlines first. Therefore, he took out a box of pills and quickly accepted one of them - the Bloodline Enhancement Pill. For a long time he did not use them, but since there was one available, it was worth using it ...

After selecting the Uchiha bloodline in the system, all the properties of the pill immediately began to apply to the power of the Uchiha blood. This moment was worth considering ...

This time everything went much easier than in the past, so Shikamaru quickly began to get rid of another pill - the Chakra Storage Expansion Pill. Once the opportunity arose, Shikamaru decided to accept it as well. Already from receiving the Uzumaki pedigree, he felt a noticeable increase in reserves, this pill should also significantly raise them.

As soon as the pill was taken, Shikamaru immediately felt a slight surge of energy and a rather unpleasant sensation through all chakra channels ... But it did not last long. All that is left is a feeling of slight weakness, after all these enhancements. The storage was obviously increased, but the chakras were still the same as before ...

Setting aside the remaining pills, Shikamaru took only the chakra replenishment pill and quickly felt a surge of energy. There was only one such left, the other he left for later. As for the stabilization pill, its time will come. He planned to give it to someone, since he could not use it himself, so for now he kept it with himself.

All that remains now is to strengthen the existing bloodlines and check the notifications ...

Glancing back at the system again, Shikamaru immediately noticed the task completion message:

"Accumulation"

Spend 100,000 Destiny Points.

Reward: Chakra Storage Expansion Pill and Lost Class S Jutsu.

As soon as Shikamaru saw this assignment, he only sighed and shook his head.

- What a scam ... Well, even though they didn't give me glasses and that's good, I feel uneasy for all these advantages.

Pulling out a pack of cigarettes, Shikamaru immediately lit a cigarette ... He was already a little sick from all this. Of course, he was pleased, it just felt strange ...

"Eh, okay, since there is still a pill ..." - Shikamaru immediately took the reward for this task. Quickly digesting a rather difficult technique, the guy threw a round black ball into his mouth and swallowed. The effect was exactly the same as the last time, slightly unpleasant, but bearable ... The volume of the chakra immediately noticeably changed. Shikamaru directly felt that after all these enhancements, he was not far from Chūnin's chakra volume at all.

"Huu ... Well, the easy part is over ..." Breathing out smoke, Shikamaru rubbed his eyes and tuned in to the hardest part. He already knew that a new assignment had been issued, but for now he decided to deal with all this. His thoughts were already a little confused, so he quickly wanted to finish what he had come for ...

Waste was next in line, so the guy immediately opened Exchange and with the remaining nine thousand points bought what he had hoped for from the very beginning. He had plans to complete one task and therefore simply buying pills was not particularly profitable. But, he had enough money for a couple ... Having bought two pills, there were only five thousand two hundred points left. Further, everything was as planned, Shikamaru decided to buy another bloodline. But, to the guy's surprise, he simply could not do it ... The only thing the system reported was a simple message:

[Limit of possible user pedigrees has been reached]

After that, all even the weakest pedigrees turned red and became inactive, and the possibility of buying them was closed. Shikamaru could not have expected such a situation ...
