[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the green trait "Yearning Loud Enough to Deafen," the black trait "Persuading Forgiveness Gets You Chopped," and the blue trait "Super Fertility."]
Yearning Loud Enough to Deafen (Green): Silence fails to convey longing. Emotions must be expressed through words. Whenever you miss someone, you will instinctively shout their name followed by "I miss you." Volume, emotional clarity, and vocal projection are greatly enhanced. Low probability of startling surrounding creatures.
Persuading Forgiveness Gets You Chopped (Black): In any unclear situation—regardless of right or wrong, justice or guilt—if you try to convince someone to forgive, be magnanimous, understanding, or tolerant, your chances of being attacked with bladed weapons increase dramatically. Also increases likelihood of being struck by lightning. Every attempt lowers your luck slightly, permanently.
Super Fertility (Blue): Life begins with creation; the future is forged through reproduction. When you sincerely bless someone with the hope of having children, their chance of pregnancy rises. With a small chance, this blessing may trigger a conceptual force. During the active period of this force, if the blessed engage in yin-yang harmonization, pregnancy is guaranteed. (Note: Female pregnancy chances are significantly higher than male.)
"...Can I please get a serious conceptual trait for once?"
Yamanaka Shinno facepalmed, no longer sure where to begin roasting this.
Conceptual traits, man!
He'd only seen a handful of these incredibly rare traits so far.
But once they reached a high enough level, the effects were beyond outrageous.
Like the purple trait [Divine Duel of Takamagahara], which could force two enemies down to just one survivor.
Or [Boundless Weapon Realm], which required only rough directional control to decimate enemies like clockwork.
With just those two, he could barge into the Otsutsuki clan right now and take on three thousand of them at once—no problem.
Unless someone had a way to counter conceptual attacks, there was no saving them.
But...
Forcing people to get pregnant? Seriously?!
If the system was running low on concepts, he'd gladly list a few!
Death, life, creation, destruction, decay, withering, chaos, exile...
"Ugh..."
Shinno scratched his head.
He wouldn't dare give a trait like this to anyone else.
Imagine someone going around behind his back, earnestly wishing him a big family with lots of kids. That'd be even worse than that [One Birth, Nine Babies] nonsense!
Also...
That note about females being more likely to get pregnant?
It was clearly hinting at something.
That men could get pregnant too.
"...System, use the blue trait upgrade on [Super Fertility]."
Shinno took a deep breath.
He had been planning to save the upgrade for the green trait [Devour the Stars].
But since he'd randomly pulled a conceptual trait now—and considering the Otsutsuki still had a stockpile of God Tree fruits—he had no shortage of energy to level up [Devour the Stars] later.
So, priority goes to [Super Fertility].
As for the two other blue traits on his interface, [Silent Walker] and [Great-Granny Club]:
The former was pretty much useless now. With all the Otsutsuki techniques he'd learned, he could conceal his presence better than any trait could help with.
The latter... sure, it had potential. But it was just a special effect, not connected to any higher laws.
Unlike [Super Fertility], which was already brushing against the rules of the world.
[Congratulations to the Host! The blue trait [Super Fertility] has successfully evolved into the purple trait [Divine Word, Womb Awakens].]
Divine Word, Womb Awakens (Purple):The valley spirit never dies; it is called the Mysterious Female. It is the gate of all mysteries, the root of endless life. When you sincerely wish someone to have children, their chance of pregnancy increases drastically. Every ten sincere blessings will guarantee one conceptual activation of [Super Fertility]. During the ten-day effect window, if yin and yang are harmonized, pregnancy is guaranteed. If no such act occurs, yin and yang will naturally converge, and a spiritual fetus will be formed regardless.
"...No notes? No restrictions? Doesn't care about gender or consent? Just straight-up boom, you're blessed with a baby?"
Shinno stared at the trait description, face caught in a strange mix of confusion and dread.
On the bright side...
He was now the real-world equivalent of the Divine Mother of Mercy. The literal child-giving Bodhisattva.
Any infertile couple? Ten sincere blessings from him, and boom—dreams come true.
But if someone used this irresponsibly...
Unless they could resist the rules of the world, ten days later...
Yeah. It'd be a tragedy.
Shinno rubbed his cheeks, and with a solemn thought that this thing can never fall into the wrong hands, he activated it immediately.
As his mind flooded with knowledge and an overwhelming list of "blessing phrases"...
His eyes quickly scanned the crowd around him:
Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna, Third Raikage A, Ōnoki, Killer Bee, Fū, Roshi, Han...
They were either too old, widowed, or straight-up lifelong bachelors!
If he accidentally blessed one of them...
Give it a few months, and they might commit seppuku from the shock of a growing belly.
As that horrifying thought passed through his head...
Shinno turned to look at Otsutsuki Kaguya and Namikaze Minato.
Before he could say a word, the ever-vigilant Minato—burned one too many times already—snapped into alert mode.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Orochimaru, and the Tsuchikage are still on the front lines! They asked me to bring them back—I'll go get them right now!"
...
Whoosh—
Before his sentence even finished, Minato vanished in a golden flash.
Shinno turned his attention back to Kaguya, who still seemed lost in thought, overwhelmed by the realization that the fruit she ate was no ordinary God Tree fruit.
He hesitated.
And didn't say anything to the not-so-bright, not-so-sweet woman beside him.
Given the two disobedient sons she had—Hagoromo and Hamura—this woman probably had serious trauma when it came to children.
No wonder she had that gray trait [Tragic Love].
...
"Are we forgetting something?"
Tsunade rubbed her chin, eyes scanning the deck of the expedition ship.
"The Six-Tails, the Seven-Tails, and the Demonic Statue?" Kushina reminded her.
"Ah—yup. My bad, that one's on me."
Shinno slapped his forehead. The dark space of Yomi opened up, and he reappeared on the battlefield.
Couldn't blame him for forgetting those three.
Compared to Otsutsuki Kaguya, they just didn't have much presence.
The Ten-Tails' husk had reverted back into the Demonic Statue and fallen into a death-like stillness.
As for the Six-Tails and Seven-Tails? They were being unusually well-behaved—just lying there quietly, not even twitching.
With so many rewards to sort through...
Who had time to think about useless tailed beasts?
"Oi, where you think you're going?! Saiken! Chōmei! Get your butts in here before I come drag you!"
Shinno raised a hand and summoned the replica Kohaku no Jōhei (Amber Purifying Pot) from his Limitless Realm as the two beasts peeked nervously from the ruins.
"Wuuuuhh..."
The Six-Tails let out a pitiful whimper before it was sucked into the pot.
"Szzzt..."
The Seven-Tails gave a resigned sigh and followed suit.
They wanted to run.
But once spotted? Running would just earn them a beatdown.
"Yeah, they definitely had a meeting."
Shinno chuckled. With reactions like that, it was obvious the Nine Tailed Beasts had held a little pow-wow in their inner mindspace.
Otherwise, even the docile Saiken and Chōmei wouldn't have been this cooperative.
He waved, storing the Demonic Statue and the pot back into his Limitless Realm.
As he turned and re-boarded the expedition ship...
He was immediately approached by Orochimaru, who Minato had just brought back—leaving Jiraiya behind.
"You know that energy you injected into Jiraiya's body? It's technically just a more refined, higher-grade energy form. In theory, it shouldn't be capable of the things you did."
Orochimaru's golden snake-eyes gleamed with confidence.
He hadn't run any tests yet, but sometimes theoretical models could tell you everything you needed to know.
If the theory doesn't hold up, what chance does practice have?
"So fast? Then try this one."
Shinno grinned, tapping his fingers toward both Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Their bodies were pulled together against their will, hands stiffly interlocking—like an awkward couple posing for prom pictures.
"Yup, that's the same energy signal..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, sensing the residual fluctuations while probing Jiraiya's body with chakra.
He was just about to ask Shinno for more details...
When he turned and saw the man standing with palms pressed together, eyes closed, face radiating sincere devotion.
"I sincerely bless the two of you with children, a flourishing bloodline, lots of heirs, happy twins, blooming results, generations of harmony..."
Shinno kept reciting blessing after blessing, basking in the feeling of the rule activating.
Satisfied, he finally opened his eyes to check on the two.
Jiraiya was completely stunned.
He pointed to himself, then at Orochimaru, in utter disbelief.
But Orochimaru had no time to be stunned—he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, focused entirely on the changes in his body and soul.
"Huh? Shinno, what's going on with Jiraiya-senpai and Orochimaru-senpai?"
Kushina blinked, cuddling up to her boyfriend.
They'd just randomly started holding hands. It was... weird.
"Ahem. Orochimaru wanted to analyze my ability—to study its mechanisms in detail."
"And this is...?"
"Ahem. Most of my powers are dangerous. This one's one of the few that doesn't cause harm."
Shinno cleared his throat and pulled a random excuse out of thin air.
"...Congratulations. You're gonna be a dad. Or maybe a mom. Hard to say."
Tsunade, having already experienced Shinno's insane abilities firsthand, didn't need anyone to explain.
After hearing those blessing phrases, and seeing the reactions...
She already knew exactly what had happened.
"M-Me?!"
Jiraiya clutched his head, completely unable to process the sheer absurdity of what was happening.
Sure, Orochimaru was now beautiful, with a killer figure. He hit all the right boxes.
And yeah... sometimes Jiraiya had certain thoughts.
But...
He hadn't mentally prepared for this yet!
