Chapter 1

"Nagato, your father here might be dying soon."

Under a sky thick with dark clouds, a drizzle of rain fell, the misty rain revealing a simple, quiet wooden house.

A gentle male voice, mixed with complex emotions of helplessness and unwillingness, echoed from the wooden house, quickly dissipating into nothingness.

Inside, a red-haired little boy who was playing with toys beside him first froze, then laughed, "You're always joking!"

"You said just the other day that I'm not your child."

"Today you're saying you're going to die!"

As he spoke, the red-haired boy, Nagato, pouted and looked at the kind woman busy nearby, "See, even Mother is smiling."

The woman, named Fusang, Nagato's mother, smiled and said, "Your father has been acting strange for a month now, ignore him."

"His body is very healthy; I just checked him, there's nothing wrong at all."

"I knew it!"

Nagato showed a look of certainty and glanced proudly at his father.

Ise was taken aback, then reached out to ruffle his stepson's red hair, revealing a helpless smile.

He wasn't joking; he indeed wasn't Nagato's father, and he was indeed about to die.

From the moment he confirmed he had entered the world of Naruto, to the moment he confirmed he was the father of the future villain, the one with the Rinnegan and the almost destroyer of Konoha, it only took him an hour.

Because on the very first day he became Ise, his stepson awakened the Rinnegan.

The mysterious patterns, radiating a dangerous yet exciting light, made even family members tremble at the sight.

"Who would have thought I would become Nagato's father, the future Six Paths of Pain, such a brilliant and fearsome figure."

Ise sighed inwardly but felt some reluctance.

"Unfortunately, time seems to be running out!"

His thoughts flickered, and as he looked at the panel in his mind, he felt both fortunate and helpless.

He was fortunate to have the standard equipment of a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which can be translated as "穿越者" in English, but it's better to use "穿越者" or "穿越者" in this context. Here, it means "穿越者" or "穿越者" in the sense of a person who has traveled through time or to a different world) in this world, which was fraught with danger and in the midst of the Second Great Shinobi War.

A magical analysis system that could analyze the blood and cells of a target, breaking down the potential powerful genes they contained and integrating them into himself.

This was undoubtedly a very powerful ability, meaning that even if he was ordinary and talentless, he could still become a powerhouse, even surpassing his son.

However, according to the plot, having a powerful son would always bring bad luck to the parents and the entire family. Soon after Nagato awakened the Rinnegan, he and Fusang would soon pass away.

This was fate! The predetermined fate of this world!

"Target: Self, Analysis Material: Blood, Cells."

"Analysis Result: Target is of the Senju Clan D-level gene, Evaluation: Ordinary, Talentless."

"Gene has potential, can be deeply analyzed, and the following excellent gene segments can be awakened and activated."

"Water Chakra, Earth Chakra, Awakening of the Senju Clan's Advanced Talent Gene, Creation (SS), Precise Chakra Control (B), Wood Release (SS), Strong Life Force (A), etc."

"Deep analysis and integration are required before ultimate analysis can be performed."

This was the information Ise obtained after analyzing himself, and he was not surprised. Nagato's father was originally a member of the Senju Clan of Konoha, and his mother was from the Uzumaki Clan, though for some reason, they ended up in the Hidden Rain Village.

ABCD four levels of ordinary genes, he was analyzed as the lowest level, meaning that without any unexpected events, he would be an ordinary civilian all his life, with no combat ability or potential.

But even this ordinary gene was still a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, carrying the blood of the Senju Clan, and with the system, he could uncover the world's most elite genes.

This made Ise feel lucky, but the despair was that disaster was imminent.

The dream of integrating these excellent genes into himself was about to shatter.

Deep analysis and integration required time!

Looking at the panel again, Ise sighed, his expression complex.

"Water Chakra (Fused)."

"Earth Chakra (Fused)."

These were the most common genes, which ordinary people could possess and which could be fused the fastest, taking only three days to become his own.

However, the excellent genes of the Senju Clan, such as Creation and Wood Release, required a lot of time.

By now, he had been in this world for a month, but the progress of analysis and integration was still slow.

"Creation (Analyzing)."

"Wood Release (Analyzing)."

"Precise Chakra Control (Fusing)."

"Strong Life Force (Fusing)."

The strongest bloodline limit of the Senju Clan was still being analyzed, such as Creation, which could be considered one of the rarest and most excellent genes in the ninja world.

Creation meant the ability to use limited resources, integrate them, and then create new things. This gene covered a wide range, was latent, and was also the most terrifying.

For example, Hashirama Senju, with the excellent genes of the Senju Clan, created a series of jutsu like Wood Release, becoming a powerful ninja and ultimately the God of the Shinobi World. Similarly, Tobirama Senju also possessed this gene and developed a series of forbidden jutsu.

This was a gene that gave one a head start, not overt but hard to ignore.

Wood Release, needless to say, had once amazed the entire ninja world, and Hashirama Senju had achieved his fame through it.

But Ise had not mastered either of these genes.

This was also the reason for his despair, as he watched the days pass, living in constant fear.

"More and more injured people are appearing in the village. Should we migrate and leave here?"

Ise suddenly said.

He only spoke to Fusang after Nagato had left.

"Where can we go? Konoha and the village are in intense battle, and our identities are sensitive. Running around might get us killed even faster."

Fusang sighed.

Ise fell silent, admitting that she was right. Although they had the blood of the Senju Clan, it wasn't much help in the chaotic Second Great Shinobi War. The ninjas on the battlefield were ruthless executioners, and any hint of mercy could lead to their own death.

It was a simple choice: either he dies or someone else dies.

But staying here was also a dead end!

Ise took a deep breath, then looked up at the kind and hardworking woman, his eyes becoming deep. "I need to borrow something from you."

"What?"

Fusang was taken aback.

Then she saw her husband suddenly stand up, pick up a short sword from the side, and walk towards her.

"I need your blood."

Seeing Fusang's wary expression, Ise explained.

Then, he took out a bottle from his pocket and shook the fresh red blood inside.

"I have Nagato's too."

Fusang was alarmed: "You won't even spare Nagato, he's just a child."

Ise was speechless, feeling helpless.

With the blood, he could analyze the latent genes in these two people and possibly master their bloodline limits.

Whether it was the special bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan or the Rinnegan that had fused with his son.

These were all powerful abilities!

Time was short, but as long as death hadn't come, he wanted to try his best to see how much power he could gain before he died.

To see if he could escape this fate!
