After the five elements, came the Yin and Yang natures as well as bloodline limits. You don't think that I'll neglect those right? Cause if you did, you'd be underestimating me.

The Yin release didn't give me much of a hassle as it was dependent on my imagination and my imagination doesn't have any limit.

With all the knowledge I had, I didn't have a limit on what I could create.

I had tried splitting my consciousness to create the [Parallel Thought] skill. It was a painful process as it felt like I was splitting my very being in half and I am sure that that feeling was the splitting of my mind into two.

In the end, it was a successful endeavor but that part of my consciousness was kind of emotionless. Every thought is based on logic and facts. It felt like I was talking to artificial intelligence, but I still felt it was a part of me.

Currently, with the help of [Parallel Thought], combined with [Thought Acceleration], I could think of a lot of things in a couple of seconds.

It took me 6 full months to completely recover and after that, I went back to my various training sessions.

With the Yin release, I created my version of [Shadow Manipulation]. I just thought 'hey, why don't I just try pouring Yin chakra into my shadows' as I don't know how the future Nara clan created theirs.

I tried it for some time and some moments later, I felt my shadow wriggling. After that, I continued practicing this [Shadow Manipulation] till I could move it around.

After mastering the control, I thought of the technique [Shadow Step] that is popularly used in that Slime anime. I couldn't just enter my shadow even if it was possible, trust me, I tried throwing in some stones and they were lost forever. Till now I can't locate their whereabouts.

I'm not proud to say it but I was scared. So I created a clone and sent it into the shadow.

The clone stayed for a whole hour before it was dispelled. The memory I got from it was astonishing. The whole place was filled with nothing but darkness. But surprisingly, I could see perfectly well though it was more like night vision than normal vision.

The place didn't have any boundaries as far as my clone's eyes could see.

The world, or as I would like to call it, [Shadow Dimension] was void of any creatures. Though there were mountains and stuff like that here. I wonder how that got here.

That aside, I discovered that no matter which shadow I enter from, I could come out of any other area where there is a shadow. I could also expand my shadow, bind someone with it, perform the shadow imitation technique and I could come and go as I wish in as much as there is a shadow. I decided to name the technique [Shadow Step]

The other techniques were normal compared to the [Shadow Manipulation], just different types of genjutsu. I could project the genjutsu anyhow I wish, I could also alter reality to an extent, and create constructs that would last as far as there is chakra.

My genjutsu was unbreakable, no matter how you decide to go about it, it won't break. It is different from the ones that are made to influence one's chakra.

I used it to prank a lot of children in the village. Adults too. It terrified the villagers for some time as no one knew what was going on. No one in the village even has the idea that it is an illusion. I was reprimanded by Hagoromo after it was reported as he's the only one that knows it was me.

I also categorized it as both a genjutsu and Yin domain. It was perfect for the [Domain Expansion] ability. Anything can be created in this domain. Like the [Mirror Dimension] of Marvels' TV I could make time and space in this domain.

Yang release was just that. I guess it's only ability is to increase one's vitality and physical strength. Adding Yang chakra to any technique changes it on a whole other level.

Alone, Yin and Yang may not sound or feel dangerous, but that's a huge misconception. Yin takes the mind to higher levels while Yang does the same for the body.

Both of them could change the composition of any other element, making it deadlier than it is. Multiple examples are Yin + Lightning= Black Lightning], [Yin + Fire = Black Fire], [Yang + Lightning= Yellow Lightning], [Yang + Fire = Light], and many more combinations

.

Yin Yang release is another case on its own. Hagoromo, with this, could create the nine-tailed beasts. Although he created them from the chakra of the ten tails, it was still an amazing feat.

If I could master It, I could create whatever I want depending on my chakra volume. I have nothing to fear as my chakra is already high and is still developing.

I was also able to create multiple kekkei Genkai with the help of Yin and Yang chakra. The notable ones are [Wood], [Ice], [Magma], [Boil], [Magnet], [Swift], [Storm], [Explosion], [Plasma], [Mud], and [Scorch].

[Wood] release was my first experiment. Which Naruto fan wouldn't be interested in this particular release? I already had prior knowledge of all combinations but we all know that no one in the whole series managed to recreate this release after Hashirama.

I tried it and ended up with mud so I went along with it and named it [Mud] release. After numerous tries, I used the combination that has been on my mind for some time now. I used Yang chakra while mixing the Water and Earth elements and that led to the creation of wood.

I had a theory that it was the special life force in the Yang chakra that led to the successful creation of [Wood] release. In the anime, a lot of people had both water and earth affinity but never got the [Wood] release because they lacked the powerful Yang chakra needed as a catalyst.

[Ice] release was also another one. It came easily to me as I already was able to change the temperature of the water with the wind to make cold water or a cold breeze. It wasn't all that difficult, I wonder why it wasn't mentioned in the anime.

[Ice] release was convenient in more ways than one. It is deadly when used to attack, suitable for defense, and also a good illusion material. I tried using it the same way Haku used it in the anime and ended up creating a movement technique. Nothing worth mentioning. I could also form blizzards and snow with this. I wasn't restricted to only ice,

[Magma] release or [Lava], whichever is suitable was just destructive. Nothing appealing about it. Maybe I'll teach it to the 1st Tsuchikage and make him an Akainu of his era cause I sure as hell am not using that technique.

[Magnet] release was already something I knew I could achieve one way or another and it truly wasn't difficult. I could already create an EMF field so creating a magnetic-related technique wasn't difficult.

In short, nothing metallic could get near me. I became the 'Magneto' of this world. Metal manipulation now came east to me. Maybe later I'll go around collecting materials that have magnetic properties for research purposes.

[Explosion] release was beautiful when used. Using the scientific approach to this issue was what made it easier to grasp. I couldn't make explosive clay like Deidara.... yet. I'll get there someday, I'm sure I'm just lacking something. Nothing time can't solve.

[Plasma] release as I would like to call it was not mentioned in the anime. I came up with the name myself. When this technique is used, it could melt through anything, metals included.

I didn't know how to form it so I settled for giving it a laser-like form whenever I use it.

[Boil] release is quite self-explanatory, mixing two opposing elements wasn't easy at first, the water will always try to subdue the fire so I thought of making the ratio of fire higher than that of water.

This release is quite dangerous on a whole other level. It is strong against Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Wind.

The technique when released is just Hot water, and since it can't be evaporated any longer, fire is useless, Lightning can only be conducted through normal water so it was naturally weak against Hot Water. The same could be said for Earth and wind.

Mei, the 5th Mizukage could melt Sasuke's Susanno with it. That should tell you how dangerous it is.

[Swift] release makes me faster in my base form. This technique increases my perception with lightning and makes me lighter with air, making me faster than normal. If combined with my [Lightning

Armor], I could rival even Flash. When I move, everything will be at a standstill.

[Storm] release makes me a walking disaster. With enough chakra, I could form a [Storm Domain] wherever I go and whoever is inside can never escape, no matter what. In the domain, my [Lightning Armor] also has a qualitative leap in effectiveness.

[Scorch] release simply makes my flames hotter. It was dangerous though, I won't lie. Similar to [Plasma] release, this can melt anything it comes in contact with, though slower than [Plasma].

Given enough chakra, it could turn a good field into a desert, it can be used to evaporate anything that has connection to liquid, ranging from ordinary water to blood.

All these releases coupled with my enormous chakra, already make me overwhelmingly overpowered, and I'm still developing. I don't think anyone will be able to injure me in the slightest. I will become a God-like being in the future. Hope it won't lead to a God complex though.

Humans tend to always rebel against the God they can see rather than the ones they can't. I guess I need to create a seal that will limit me to the average human in every era that I'm in.

I would like to experience life normally in every era, only making small changes here and there without drawing too much attention to myself.

///////

After this Indra and Ashura era, the remaining time will be a slice of life with a little war here and there. MC will also kill a lot and stuff will happen. No spoilers.

And I've decided to make MC a neutral party in the battle between Indra and Ashura. There is no need for him to involve himself in their quarrel.
