The power of space-time, space-time Chakra, space-time nature transformation...
With just one glance, Gojo Yoru knew the special effect of the black Chakra.
It is well known that ninja Chakra has seven attributes: Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Yin and Yang. These constitute the Yin-Yang and Five Elements of this world.
Yin and Yang are hidden attributes. One can only be born with them; they cannot be acquired through training later in life unless a powerful external force modifies the body.
Even the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, as well as the original work's Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, could not cultivate Yin and Yang attributes later in life.
The reason Uchiha Madara possessed Yin-Yang and the Five Elements was that he transplanted Senju Hashirama's cells. Otherwise, his limit would have been the same as Uchiha Sasuke's, possessing at most six attributes: Yin and the Five Elements.
The fusion of two nature transformations is a Kekkei Genkai.
The fusion of three nature transformations is called a Kekkei Tota.
This is the limit of the Ninja World's understanding.
However, Gojo Yoru knew that the fusion of all seven attributes resulted in a Kekkei Mora.
That was the mark of "one of their own" in the eyes of pure-blooded Otsutsuki!
Without a Kekkei Mora, without being an all-attribute Otsutsuki, one was a hybrid among hybrids, no different from those lower life forms.
It is common knowledge in the Ninja World that there are only seven Chakra attributes.
Only a few know that there is an eighth hidden special attribute in the Ninja World.
That is a power that overrides the seven attributes, with lower and upper limits that are incredibly absurd. Some are not inferior to Kekkei Mora, or are a type of Kekkei Mora themselves, or even a power stronger than Kekkei Mora!
That is the power of Space-Time!
Space-time abilities are actually quite common in the Ninja World.
Storage scrolls involve space-time principles.
The Summoning Technique also involves the power of space-time.
However, these barely scratch the surface through contracts and seals, and cannot be used on one's own body.
Therefore, when the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, developed the Flying Thunder God Technique and showed the entire Ninja World the terror of space-time power, this Ninjutsu immediately became one of the strongest S-rank Secret Techniques in the Ninja World.
To this day, apart from the developer Senju Tobirama, no second person in Konoha has mastered this S-rank Secret Technique.
Moreover, the Flying Thunder God Technique is also just a support-type space-time Ninjutsu.
In the thousand-year history of the Warring States, no offensive space-time Ninjutsu has appeared in the Ninja World.
Because no one can truly master the power of space-time, let alone transform their Chakra nature into space-time Chakra—not even the pure-blooded Otsutsuki of the universe can do it!
Their space-time abilities, just like the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui, only consume Chakra or Yin Release Chakra to mobilize some space-time power.
Amenominaka, Yomotsu Hirasaka, Daikokuten... these Kekkei Mora and Shinjutsu are all support-type space-time abilities.
In contrast, Kamui, which is neither a Kekkei Mora nor a Shinjutsu, is a rare offensive space-time ability.
Even so, offensive Kamui has a startup time, consumes a large amount of pupil power, and the ability is fixed; it is also not a transformation of Chakra into space-time nature.
And now, the first existence to possess space-time Chakra... has been born!
So it's no wonder Gojo Yoru is so excited. Not laughing out loud wildly is already the greatest self-control of someone who has lived two lives and is a transmigrator.
In these six years, no one knew how much pressure Gojo Yoru was under.
If he had been born in the time period when the plot started, the same age as Naruto and Sasuke, even without a Kekkei Genkai or a Cheat, Gojo Yoru would have chosen to accept his fate and live a laid-back life.
With the advantage of knowing the plot, he would be fully capable of avoiding all great calamities except for the Infinite Tsukuyomi. And the Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't really a calamity; it's practically a beautiful dream.
But as it happened, the time period Gojo Yoru transmigrated to made him the same age as Namikaze Minato.
The Second Great Ninja War could break out at any time. The intelligence revealed in the original work was pitifully scarce. Gojo Yoru had no idea if Namikaze Minato's graduating class was sent to the battlefield.
If they were sent to the battlefield, even if only responsible for logistics, they could face enemy ninja invasions at any time. Ninjas capable enough to invade, or those on missions, would definitely be at least Tokubetsu Jonin level.
Without a protagonist's halo, encountering them would mean certain death.
The more a transmigrator knows, the more they worry. Especially being in a time period with no plot advantages, the pressure in Gojo Yoru's heart multiplied daily.
Therefore, in his "Game Strategy," he had already prepared to become strong by any means necessary.
To survive, he was even willing to become an experimental subject, becoming a patchwork monster similar to Kakuzu or Hiruko.
To pave the way for his plans, as an "adult" who knew the importance of connections and networks, he created an unsociable, aloof, and "school tyrant" persona upon enrollment, acting every day.
In fact, on many nights, Gojo Yoru would wake up from nightmares.
He dreamed that his plan failed right at the start, that his identity as an otherworlder was discovered through mind reading, and that he became an even more miserable experimental subject.
He dreamed that he had finally gained powerful strength, only to be slapped to death by a higher-dimensional power, all his efforts wasted.
These were the invisible shackles binding Gojo Yoru.
But now, with the appearance of the black space-time Chakra, all these shackles were shattered!
Originally limited to becoming an all-rounder Jonin, or at best a Pseudo-Six Paths level if his game strategy was perfectly realized, his upper limit had now become very blurred.
This is what makes space-time special.
Its lower limit is very low; ordinary ninjas can use space-time power to create storage scrolls.
Its upper limit is very high; even the Elite Jonin Hatake Kakashi, by mastering an offensive space-time Ninjutsu, was able to wound the Progenitor of Chakra.
Possessing space-time Chakra, Gojo Yoru's current strength had also become very ambiguous. His strength depended entirely on the capacity and usage of the black Chakra.
If he could develop offensive methods, even as a first-year trainee ninja, he would possess means to threaten a Kage, just like those Elite Jonin who mastered S-rank Secret Techniques.
Even a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki with Ninjutsu immunity would have their defenses breached if hit by him.
If the black Chakra couldn't be used for attacks, then Gojo Yoru's strength wouldn't change much; he would just be like those ninja clans with Hiden techniques or Kekkei Genkai, simply possessing a special ability.
Even if it was the latter, Gojo Yoru was already satisfied.
Because his feet had just turned intangible.
Intangibility—this was Uchiha Obito's bug-level ability that was invincible throughout the entire Naruto series!
As long as Gojo Yoru could achieve full-body intangibility, no one in this era could kill him by means other than assassination, including that Asura of the Ninja World who was still alive!
Now, he was a cut above other ninjas!
