11 A Talk Between Partners

"Er, Raven? You there?" Confused by the moments of silence when she normally answered right away, he called for her again to make check. Her reply coming in a a mumble.

[...I forgot.]

"Eh, what?"

[I said, I forgot. You spent too much time cultivating that when I delayed the notification, I forgot about it.]

With a moment's pause after her declaration, came a demon's smile that stretched ear to ear. Jin giving a grin at the disembodied voice. "You owe me one now, you know that, right?"

[How did you figure that? It was just a delayed delivery, not like it was a major issue.]

"What if that package could have been helpful if I got in a life threatening situation? Or, another way to think of it, you delaying that package delayed my training. Delaying my training is a risk to my life. So, sure you don't owe me?"

[...Fine, what do you want?]

"Nasuverse system."

[No.]

"Bleach system?"

[Denied.]

"Tales Of system?"

[Refused.]

"Dragon Ball system?"

[No way.]

"DC or Marvel system?"

[Fuck off. Abilities from other series are off limits until you reach the Divine Way, this is iron clad so don't even think of obtaining them before hand.]

"...Well shit. Can I get the degraded Ootsutsuki bloodline for the Hyuuga for free then? Oh, and a new way to get System Points?"

[Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Degraded Ootsutsuki Bloodline(Hyuuga).

Would you like to fuse the Bloodline?]

"Are you going to knock me out again? And what about my other request?"

[Host will awaken in five hours, or at sunrise the next day if you choose to fuse the new bloodline with your current one. As for a new method to earn SP, that request has been sent up to the creator for processing.]

"Fine, but first open the Realm Package. If I'm going to be out until morning, might as well get everything ready beforehand. And Processing? I thought you controlled everything?"

[Realm Package opened! Obtained: x100 Purple Profound Coins; Earth Style Light-Weight Boulder technique; Earth Style Heavy-Weight Boulder technique x1 Water Affinity; 1,000 SP. Congratulations on increasing your Profound Realm!]

"Just going to ignore that, eh? At least the techniques are useful. Though, can't I use or learn the profound floating technique when I reach the Sky Profound Realm? Not sure if I would get any use out of it afterwards...

Water affinity, too, cost a lot of energy without nearby water to manipulate so that's going to be a pain in the ass to increase."

Letting out a small groan, Jin wondered if there was a point to having such an affinity when a vast majority of battles mentioned in the series took place in the air or on the ground. And while the techniques shown in Naruto using Water Style were decent enough on their own, it got the most of its use the same way most of the other elements did. By using it in conjunction with another Chakra nature and making combination jutsu or, like the others, in a Kekkai Genkai.

Even though it was just the internal mixing of two chakra natures, others couldn't use the same nature without the user's genetics which didn't make sense. Taking Haku for example, his Ice release was a mix of water and wind chakra natures which by logic means that so long as someone had access to those two chakras they should be able to preform the Ice Release.

Since he had a doubt, he did the one thing that he should logically do and hit the Raven Button.

[...Really? This one you couldn't figure out? And Why ask me when I could get paid for you buying the Kekkei Genkai from the system store?]

"Because you're super helpful? And I don't think you need the points?"

[...You don't know that.]

"Then what do you need them for?"

[I'm not the only system the Creator made. And depending on who has the higher sales if or when our host dies, or if they manage to reach a high enough level that we aren't needed anymore. At that point, you could say the story ends.]

"That sounds... fucked up? Why not make it a reward for your work afterwards instead of a prize?"

[It said, and I quote, "Because it's interesting." So, yeah, that's our situation.]

"well, then I'll donate my points after I get everything I need, sound good?"

[Fine, not like having a physical body is actually something on my list of desires. Though if you would stop asking me questions all the time that would make my life so much easier.]

"...Answer the question about Kekkei Genkai then and I'll only ask something if it's important. That said, explain it please."

[*sigh* Pure yang does not birth, pure yin does not grow. That's all the hints I'm giving you. Good night Jin. Oh, and anyone who reads through your memories would get an altered version of Shirou Emiya's backstory. Have fun with that~]

"Why is it a Nasuverse character and not a Naruto character?! That doesn't make sense!" Letting out a sigh, he got back to the point of figuring out the hint.

"Pure yang does not birth, pure yin does not grow? Why does that sound so familiar? I could have sworn I've heard that before..." Thinking it over, he had the name of the source on the tip of his tongue.

"Forget it, it will come to me later. I'm guessing it means that the Bloodline Limits mix in small portions of Yin or Yang, or Yin Yang chakra which explains most of them. If Water and Earth make Mud Release, then Water, Earth, and Yang Release would explain Wood Style at least."

Shaking his head, Jin created a stone tablet and manipulated it to note down all his current thoughts before heading to bed despite it being just before noon. Allowing Raven to carry out the merging of the bloodlines and including his recent purchases.
