Chapter 097.2: Shock, Sasuke Actually Possesses a Bloodline Selection?

Kisame shrugged, knowing that whenever he mentioned Itachi's brother, Itachi would never reveal his true thoughts.

Oh well, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

At this moment, Itachi felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Sasuke, you've finally grown. Bloodline Selection, such power—something even I don't have. Combined with your Sharingan, it won't be long before you surpass me!"

Itachi murmured. He knew that soon, Sasuke would come seeking revenge.

When that time comes, everything will be settled.

"Demonic Power?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised when he saw this Bloodline Selection ability.

In the original story, Sasuke didn't have a Bloodline Selection like Demonic Power. It seemed Orochimaru had obtained a reward from the list and experimented on Sasuke, resulting in this new Bloodline Selection.

"Only Sasuke could successfully develop this Bloodline Selection. Orochimaru's experiments on others must have failed! This is the protagonist's luck, so the success rate was high!"

Ye Tian murmured to himself.

He estimated that the chance of successfully developing a Bloodline Selection from such an experiment was about 1%, or even 0.1%. But for someone like Sasuke, a protagonist blessed by the ninja world's luck, the success rate was 100%.

However, just a single Bloodline Selection wasn't enough to catch his attention.

He only noticed it because Sasuke was one of the two main protagonists of the ninja world.

Soon, the list continued to reveal more names.

"Bloodline Limit List, 30th Place: Gaara, possessing the Bloodline Limit of Magnet Release. He excels at controlling sand and star sand, which can be combined with various powerful ninjutsu, creating immense destructive force."

Naruto: "Wow, Gaara is really strong!"

Fourth Kazekage: "As expected, my son's Magnet Release is much stronger than mine. Ranking 30th on the Bloodline Limit List is something to be proud of!"

Temari: "Gaara is amazing!"

Kankuro: "As expected of Gaara!"

Deidara: "That kid's Bloodline Limit actually ranks higher than my Explosion Release. I'm not happy about this!"

Gaara: "Deidara, if you come back, I'll make sure you accept it!"

Deidara: "Heh, Gaara, just wait. If I get the chance, I'll kill you again!"

Gaara: "Even better, I'll make sure you die by my hands!"

After Gaara, the One-Tail's Magnet Release appeared next.

The Magnet Release of the Sand Village was researched from the One-Tail, so naturally, its ranking was higher.

However, tailed beasts don't utilize Bloodline Limits very effectively, partly because they struggle to control their own power. If they could, their strength would be far greater.

Of course, tailed beasts without jinchuriki can't fully unleash their power, which is another major issue.

"Bloodline Limit List, 29th Place: Shukaku, possessing the Bloodline Limit of Magnet Release. He excels at controlling various objects, which can be combined with the jinchuriki to unleash powerful techniques."

Shukaku: "Oh, I made it onto the list again, which means I'll get another reward. I wonder if this one will be useful. If it's useless again, I'll just give it to Gaara!"

Kurama: "Shukaku, don't get your hopes up. Ranking only 29th, what good could you possibly get?"

Shukaku: "Luck, you know? If I'm lucky, I could get anything!"

Gyūki: "You got captured, and you still talk about luck, heh!"

Shukaku: "Gyūki, I'll beat you to death! Don't bring that up again! But hey, I have a Bloodline Limit, and you don't!"

Kurama: "Heh, it's just a Bloodline Limit. What's the use? If I slap you with my paw, can your Bloodline Limit withstand it?"

Shukaku: "It's useful because it got me on the list and earned me rewards! You guys without Bloodline Limits can't get on the list, so you can't get those rewards!"

[Nine-Tails: I'm speechless, but that actually makes sense!]

Subsequently, Four-Tails' Lava Release and Five-Tails' Boil Release ranked twenty-eighth and twenty-seventh, respectively.

Both Sun Wukong, the Four-Tails, and Kokuō, the Five-Tails, were eagerly anticipating their rewards, hoping for miraculous ones. However, the possibility was almost nonexistent!

At this moment, it was time for the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's Bloodline Selection to be revealed.

[Bloodline Limit Rank No. 26: Ōnoki, possessing the Bloodline Selection, Dust Release, which combines Wind, Fire, and Earth elements, is a technique that merges offense and barrier capabilities, disintegrating anything within the barrier down to an atomic state.]

[Third Tsuchikage: My Dust Release is only ranked twenty-sixth? This is a Bloodline Selection technique!]

[Hashirama Senju: So what if it's a Bloodline Selection? It still depends on who's using it. For example, my Wood Release is just a Bloodline Limit, but it can still overpower any Bloodline Selection!]

[Third Tsuchikage: The First Hokage has a point. My Dust Release can't compare to the First Hokage's Wood Release!]

[Second Tsuchikage: My Bloodline Selection Dust Release should also make it onto the list!]

[Second Mizukage: I hope your Dust Release doesn't even make the list!]

[Second Tsuchikage: That's impossible!]

Soon after, the twenty-fifth Bloodline Limit was announced, and it turned out to be the Second Tsuchikage Mū's Bloodline Selection, Dust Release.

[Bloodline Limit Rank No. 25: Mū, possessing the Bloodline Selection, Dust Release, which combines Wind, Fire, and Earth elements, is a technique that merges offense and barrier capabilities, disintegrating anything within the barrier down to an atomic state.]

[Second Tsuchikage: Just as expected!]

[Hashirama Senju: Damn, it really seems like my Wood Release might not make the top ten!]

[Madara Uchiha: No need to guess; it's definitely not making it. Are you sure Ōnoki doesn't have a Bloodline Selection or Bloodline Encompassing? Do his summoned beasts not possess them? Plus, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya definitely has multiple Bloodline Encompassing abilities, along with the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and so on. If your Wood Release makes it into the top twenty, consider yourself lucky!]

[Hashirama Senju: Fine, you make a valid point!]

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for Hashirama Senju's Wood Release to be revealed.

[Bloodline Limit Rank No. 21: Hashirama Senju: Wood Release, capable of transforming chakra into the source of life, accelerating and controlling plant growth, launching powerful attacks, controlling enemies, suppressing Tailed Beasts, and providing defense. It can also be used to create wood clones for reconnaissance and execute various powerful Wood Release techniques.]

[Hashirama Senju: Damn it, I really didn't make it into the top ten, and not even the top twenty!]

[Third Hokage: This is quite unexpected. Hashirama-sensei's Wood Release didn't make it into the top twenty!]

[Tsunade: Grandpa's Wood Release is practically a legend in the ninja world, yet it only ranks twenty-first!]

[Madara Uchiha: Hmph, it's just a Bloodline Limit. The fact that it surpassed the previous Bloodline Selections is already impressive!]

[Tobirama Senju: Brother, it's fine. The people ahead of you are probably all stronger, so there's no need to be disappointed!]

[Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, are you comforting me or stabbing me in the heart? Don't you want to be resurrected? The higher I rank, the better our chances of revival!]

[Tobirama Senju: Facts are facts. No matter how much I praise you, it won't change reality!]

Soon, it was time for the Bloodline Selections of Ōtsutsuki Indra and Ōtsutsuki Asura to be revealed. Generally, most of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's descendants possessed Bloodline Selection or higher-level abilities.

For instance, Ōtsutsuki Indra didn't just have the Mangekyō Sharingan as his Bloodline Limit; he later mastered other Bloodline Selection abilities.

Asura also had Wood Release, and Tobirama Senju's Wood Release was inherited from Asura.

Soon, Asura's Wood Release was announced, ranking eighteenth on the Bloodline Limit list.
