Kabuto Yakushi.S-Rank. ★★.0 / 100 shards.
The moment his template appeared in my interface, a strange chill curled up my spine—an instinctive recognition of how absurdly valuable this man could become. He wasn't the strongest in raw power… but in versatility, science, war logistics, forbidden jutsu, immortality tricks, and battlefield manipulation?
He was priceless.
Especially for what was coming.
Odin.The All-Father.The tyrant king of the Nine Realms.
My information warned me he would make his move soon—maybe one year, maybe two. And I still didn't have infinite points. Buying a full 100 shards for an S-Rank template? Insanely expensive. So unlocking Kabuto naturally, through training and synergistic abilities… was my best path.
But the more I studied the template's abilities, the more I understood why he was worth every drop of effort.
Sage Mode — Kabuto's Perfected Form
To master this template fully, I would eventually need to master Sage Mode myself, absorbing nature energy until my body and spirit harmonized with the world around me.
Kabuto's version wasn't just strong.It was monstrous.
My physical strength, speed, and agility would be enhanced to the level of dodging strikes from Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke simultaneously.
I would gain environmental manipulation—turning nature itself into a weapon.
My sensory perception would reach such heights that genjutsu would barely touch me unless it targeted senses beyond sight.
Just imagining those upgrades made chakra shiver in my veins.
Impure World Reincarnation — Perfected
Kabuto perfected the technique even beyond Orochimaru and the Second Hokage.
Control over numerous powerful shinobi at once.
Ability to adjust their personalities or suppress them entirely.
Power enhancement… like how he restored Madara to youth and gifted him Wood Release and the Rinnegan.
If I mastered this template… I could raise armies.
Immortal armies.
And against Odin's coming conquest? That could shift the balance of the Nine Realms.
Body Alteration & DNA Absorption
This was where Kabuto's template became terrifying.
He didn't just copy abilities.
He became them.
The Sound Four.Kimimaro.Orochimaru's serpentine physiology.Snake senses.Chakra absorption.Regeneration strong enough to shrug off fatal blows.
And if I fully mastered this template… I could mix it with my own witchcraft, sorcery, and shinobi foundations to create something entirely new.
A hybrid body.A perfected form.A living weapon.
Other Abilities
Medical ninjutsu at near unmatched level.
Barrier ninjutsu capable of hiding me from gods.
Psychological manipulation.
Scientific genius.
Encyclopedic knowledge of jutsu.
And perhaps the most valuable trait of all:
Kabuto made impossible things possible.
He found loopholes in techniques that no one else could understand.
With Odin preparing to wage war, armies soon to rise, realms soon to burn…
I needed someone like that.
Someone brilliant.Dangerous.Unpredictable.A scientist who could match gods with sheer intellect.
I closed the interface with a slow breath.
"Time to begin the grind," I murmured. "If I want Kabuto's genius, I'll have to earn it through training, experimentation… and tapping deeper into both chakra and nature energy."
I glanced toward the horizon, where storm clouds twisted unnaturally.
Odin's preparations were already beginning.
And I refused to be caught unprepared.
