Akio pondered for a long time but ultimately found no solution. He could only go with the flow.
At that moment, he noticed that the kanji prompt this time was slightly different from before. The final Witness Points gained had a *2 multiplier. Upon opening the status panel, he confirmed that his Witness Points had increased by 20 more than usual.
"So, changing the plot will grant me more attribute points?" Akio murmured to himself. "In that case, does that mean I can..."
"No, I still need to be selective about altering the storyline. Otherwise, if the plot changes too drastically, there will be fewer events left to witness in the future..."
"Besides, this was just a minor change. There must be a distinction between minor and major alterations. Speaking of minor changes, does this mean that Hashirama learning Senjutsu earlier than expected won't significantly impact the storyline?"
"That makes sense. If Madara's power had surpassed Hashirama's, the Uchiha might have unified the Warring States period. But given Hashirama's nature, he was never one to pursue conquest through sheer force."
A series of thoughts flashed through Akio's mind before he ultimately decided to let things progress naturally.
"I should just focus on learning Senjutsu properly..." he muttered.
After a full day of training, Hashirama realized that mastering Senjutsu was no easy feat. So, he created a Wood Clone to return home and report his safety while instructing Senju Tenyu to inform Tobirama that he needed to remain in the clan for the next few months to handle affairs.
Akio felt a bit schadenfreude at this. He had been sulking about missing out on the development of the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, but now that he had such an elder brother, Tobirama was the one suffering instead...
For the next month, both Akio and Hashirama immersed themselves in Senjutsu training.
Hashirama had already grasped the fundamentals, while Akio was stuck on the second step—absorbing natural energy into his body.
Two more months passed, and while Hashirama had mastered Senjutsu completely, Akio was still stuck at the same stage.
At this point, Akio began to understand the situation—he had yet to acquire Yang Release chakra, which the system had likely restricted, preventing him from advancing further in Senjutsu training.
Realizing that he simply couldn't learn Senjutsu no matter how hard he tried, he had no choice but to abandon it for now and shift his focus to his attribute panel.
With Hashirama's Senjutsu training nearing completion, Akio was eager to follow him into the impending war with the Uchiha, hoping to earn more Witness Points.
However, given his current strength, he stood no chance against Madara, who had already mastered the second stage of Susanoo. Let alone Hashirama, who had reached a level surpassing most clan leaders with his newly honed Senjutsu.
Since he couldn't enhance his power through Senjutsu, Akio could only resort to allocating attribute points.
He had 34 Witness Points left from before, and his journey with Hashirama had earned him an additional 24, bringing the total to 58—a record-high amount.
After some thought, he decided to invest them in "Jutsu." Previously, he had already allocated 5.5 points to "Jutsu," which increased his Ninjutsu's power by 50%. This time, he aimed to push it to 10.
Following the trend of diminishing returns—where adding 5 points reduced the increment per allocation to 0.5—he invested 9 points into "Jutsu" but found that it only increased to +9.2.
"What the hell? Now it only increases by 0.1 per point after reaching 9?" Akio grumbled but pressed on, adding another 8 points.
Jutsu: 1582 (+9.75) (+)
"Seriously? After +9.5, it only increases by 0.05 per point?"
"Don't tell me this damn thing will never reach 10?" Akio had already spent 17 points on it. Frustrated, he allocated another 5 points to see if he could max it out.
Unexpectedly, his attribute panel underwent a drastic change.
Jutsu: 1582 (+10) (Convertible)
"Convertible? The plus sign is gone, replaced with a conversion option?"
"So, 10 is the maximum? Looks like I won't be breaking through Susanoo with a simple Great Fireball..." Akio mused. "But doubling my Ninjutsu power is already enough. Still, what does 'Convertible' mean?"
Curious, he mentally clicked on "Convertible." A strange surge of power enveloped his body, lasting a full minute before he returned to his senses.
Checking his status panel, he noticed a significant transformation.

"Senjutsu? I thought it was impossible for me to learn it, but I've managed to acquire it like this?!" Akio felt his chakra steadily depleting and immediately deactivated Senjutsu Mode. "So, activating Senjutsu Mode automatically grants me Yang Release? That's an unexpected bonus. Also, my Ninjutsu and Taijutsu power are doubled in this state, boosting my rank to S-. S-… sounds like the S-rank rogue ninjas of the future."
Akio smirked in satisfaction. This was a massive leap in power, and he still had 36 Witness Points left. After some deliberation, he decided to invest them into Yang Release.
After spending 1 point, Yang Release increased to LV2, enhancing both "Taijutsu" and "Jutsu."
"As expected, Yang Release strengthens my physical energy, gradually leading me toward the Sage Body."
Since his current Ninjutsu arsenal was sufficient, and he had Earth Release for defense and Rasengan variations for offense, he decided to focus on fundamental growth.
He poured 19 points into Yang Release, raising it to LV5. The remaining 16 points were split—7 into Earth Release and 9 into Wind Release, leveling them up.
Feeling his body rapidly strengthen and his power surge, Akio couldn't hide his excitement. Glancing at his new attributes, he was even more thrilled.
"Now… even against Madara, I can put up a decent fight! Finally, I'm living up to the Uzumaki name!" Akio thought with pride.
