The hotel room was quiet.
Gojo entered slowly, his white messy hair dancing with the gentle breeze sneaking through the open window.
The scent of warm wood and fresh tatami filled the air.
He looked around.
His grandfather wasn't back yet.
Gojo locked the door behind him.
The moment it clicked shut, a fire of anticipation sparked in his eyes.
He sat down cross-legged on the floor, straightened his posture, and took a deep breath.
Then, he called softly—
"System."
> Ding!
[Voice Command Detected. Opportunity Plunder System Active.]
[Novice Gift Pack is ready. Does Host wish to open it now?]
His heartbeat quickened.
A grin crept onto his face.
"Open it."
> Ding!
[Novice Gift Unlocked! Congratulations Host, you have received the following:]
— Pure Senju Bloodline (Primary)
— All Attribute Chakra Affinity
— Ninjutsu Talent (Primary)
— Comprehension Talent (Primary)
Gojo's eyes widened.
His whole body trembled slightly—not in fear, but excitement.
A strange, warm current spread inside his veins.
His chakra flared for a moment, wild but calm.
"…Incredible," he whispered.
"System, show me my status."

Gojo let out a soft whistle.
Even at "Ordinary" rank, he had three top clan bloodlines, chakra affinities, and two talents most shinobi could only dream of.
Still, his eyes quickly landed on the Senju Bloodline section.
"System, I want to upgrade the Senju Bloodline to Intermediary."
> Ding!
[Upgrade Cost: 10,000 Points]
[First-Time Discount Applied: 50%]

"Proceed."
A rush of pure vitality surged through him.
His chakra pathways stretched wider.
His muscles pulsed with natural strength.
Even his skin glowed faintly for a moment.
He took a deep breath.
It felt like his body had been reborn.
> Ding!

He stood up, his hands glowing with chakra.
Now this… this was the kind of power he always dreamed of.
And yet, this was only the beginning.
He stepped to the window again, looking at the vibrant village outside.
Children laughed. Birds soared.
A peaceful world.
But beneath that peace, war, bloodlines, hatred, and destiny always stirred.
Gojo's eyes narrowed.
"If Naruto is destined to be the hero…"
He muttered quietly, staring into the light.
"…then I will steal destiny itself."
