————————
In one of the Hidden Leaf Village's orphanages, children played together on a large playground nearby. However, one boy sat apart from the others, playing alone by a cluster of trees. This was Ryuga, now seven years old. He had grown taller, with jet-black hair and a fair, healthy complexion. His face, still holding a hint of baby fat, hinted at the strikingly handsome features he would develop in the coming years. Most unique were his eyes: his right eye was as pitch black as his hair, while his left eye was a shimmering light purple, resembling a rare gem in the dim light.
While it looked like Ryuga was practicing throwing kunai and shuriken at a tree, he was, in truth, controlling them through nearly invisible strings of pure chakra. These chakra threads weren't your standard wires—they were created with extraordinary chakra control, making them unbreakable and practically invisible.
It had been two years since his body had fully healed with the help of Wisdom Core, which he now affectionately referred to as "Wiz." In this time, his life had changed dramatically. When Wiz completed the reconstruction of Ryuga's body, the results were even better than expected. His once-fragile form was now significantly stronger, and his skills had evolved in surprising ways.
One of the major changes was that Wiz's sub-skill, Storage Space, had merged with his physical body, transforming into what he now called his "Stomach." This change allowed him not only to store items with much larger capacity but also to store living things. This transformation had also unlocked an incredible space affinity, giving him an almost supernatural connection to the element of space.
Ryuga was stunned to discover just how powerful this space affinity was. With minimal effort, he could tear open a layer of space, like cutting through a piece of paper. While he could only manipulate the initial layers of space, this ability was rare and impressive. Additionally, his time spent with Wiz in that dark, timeless place before his rebirth had granted him a high affinity for darkness, or "yin" chakra, though he hadn't yet experimented with it.
Through nature transformation—a high-level form of chakra control—Ryuga knew he could eventually gain and enhance affinities with various other elements. Thanks to the implanted cells in his body from different clans, he was already gifted with an array of elemental affinities, such as wood from the Senju clan, fire and lightning from the Uchiha, water and light (or "yang") from the Hyuga, and earth and darkness from the Uzumaki. These abilities set a solid foundation for his potential as a ninja, but he focused almost entirely on chakra control, believing that mastering this fundamental skill would allow him to utilize any jutsu he encountered.
With Wiz's guidance, Ryuga's chakra control had reached an extraordinary level. He could form near-invisible, unbreakable chakra strings and manipulate them in any way he wished. His training involved practicing this fine-tuned control and physical conditioning, preparing his body and mind for the advanced techniques he planned to master.
What set him apart from other Uchiha was his ability to observe and understand the flow of chakra in others with unique clarity. While the Sharingan enabled him to memorize hand signs for jutsu, his Byakugan allowed him to observe chakra movement directly within a person's body. With both eyes working together, he could copy any jutsu down to its smallest details. Wiz also enhanced his abilities, recording and recreating these jutsu whenever he needed them.
This relentless training made Ryuga confident in his chakra control, knowing he could manipulate chakra better than almost anyone. His chakra strings were so well crafted that they passed undetected, even through objects, without leaving a trace. He shaped chakra into forms like swords and spears without wasting energy, a skill made possible by Wiz's precise calculations.
Beyond refining his chakra control, Wiz had restructured his chakra circuits to support the vast array of abilities he had acquired through the implanted cells, ensuring that Ryuga's body could harness every unique power. His chakra reserves were immense for his age, comparable to that of a chunin, and the completed merge of body and soul further expanded his capacity.
Wiz's reconstruction also heightened the abilities of both his Sharingan and Byakugan. The Byakugan had taken on a pale purple hue, reflecting the powerful space affinity now in his blood. With this, he could see into multiple layers of space more clearly, and his vision range had expanded.
Not only could Ryuga use these eyes without tiring, but Wiz also managed the constant stream of information, analyzing and filtering it in real-time. This way, Ryuga could keep his Byakugan's 360-degree vision active without worrying about overwhelming his brain. Wiz acted as an intermediary, processing any data from his senses before feeding it into his mind in a simplified, understandable form. This gave Ryuga an incredible advantage, allowing him to be constantly aware of his surroundings without any physical strain.
In the orphanage playground, as he practiced manipulating kunai and shuriken with his chakra strings, he knew that this level of control would let him perform incredible feats without others ever realizing the extent of his abilities.
