Naruto: An Uchiha With A Superpower Roulette

"I don't know much about onmyōji," Kaguya began slowly. "Back then, many people tried to cause trouble, even inciting other nations to attack the Land of Ancestors to destroy the God Tree. But by the time they acted, the fruit of the God Tree had ripened. After consuming it, I killed them all—they were too noisy."

She spoke as though recalling a mild annoyance. After consuming the God Tree's fruit, she crushed her enemies effortlessly, establishing herself as a deity among her people. However, Kaguya spent most of her time preparing for the inevitable retaliation from the Ōtsutsuki clan.

"If not for Hagoromo's betrayal," Kaguya continued with a trace of bitterness, "the White Zetsu I cultivated over a thousand years could have produced hundreds of shadow-level warriors. The Ōtsutsuki like Momoshiki and Kinshiki wouldn't have arrived for another millennium, and Isshiki would've been too weak to intervene. My strength would have been unmatched."

Yoichi nodded thoughtfully. "In hindsight, ripping apart Hagoromo for his betrayal seems reasonable from your perspective."

After a pause, Yoichi asked, "What made you decide to have Hagoromo and Hamura in the first place?"

Kaguya froze, then turned her head away. "...That has nothing to do with you!"

"Fine, no need to share," Yoichi replied nonchalantly.

He updated Kaguya on the lack of news about Isshiki and then left her in peace.

The Strategy Guide had repeatedly nudged Yoichi to travel a thousand years back to Kaguya's time, but he had delayed the decision. Now that things in Konoha had settled and he had time, he planned to undertake the journey after finding a suitable beast for his daughter, Yoko.

His primary goal wasn't just exploring Kaguya's past but uncovering the secrets of ancient onmyōdō practices. Unlike the Ōtsutsuki, who relied on the God Tree's fruit and their inherent abilities, the ninjutsu and sealing techniques of this world might have stemmed from indigenous practices.

Yoichi theorized that sealing jutsu, refined by the Uzumaki clan, likely originated from onmyōji traditions rather than the Ōtsutsuki. Verifying this theory required firsthand exploration of that era.

Summoning Another Beast

After dinner with his family, Yoichi brought Yoko and the others to a desolate area beyond the Five Great Nations. He chose a remote desert battlefield once used by Kaguya against her sons for his summoning ritual.

He set up barriers to shield the group before beginning the summoning.

Moments later, a blazing wave of fire surged toward the barrier—a hundred meters high and searing hot enough to incinerate everything in its path.

Yoichi's clone strengthened the barrier, and his original self relayed a grim update. "It seems we've summoned a formidable beast this time—a phoenix, no less!"

The summoned Phoenix of Rebirth, a mythical creature closest to divinity, possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities, far surpassing the luminous dragon, Alsace. Even Yoichi struggled to subdue it within half an hour.

"This is bad," his clone said, carrying Yoko and the others further away. "We need to relocate another 30 kilometers. The phoenix's power is too overwhelming."

Yoichi's original self had to employ his strongest techniques—Truth-Seeking Balls to immobilize it, Kamui to twist its wings, and the fourth level of Thunder Annihilation Mode to deliver devastating blows. Eventually, he forced the phoenix into a massive crater thousands of meters deep.

Even then, the phoenix's body ignited in golden flames, preparing for a rebirth. Yoichi used more Truth-Seeking Balls to pin it down, preventing its revival.

After confirming the phoenix's suppression, the clone brought Yoko forward. With Yoichi's assistance, the phoenix was sealed within her.

As the ritual ended, golden flames erupted from Yoko's body, incinerating her clothes.

"Ah! What's happening?" Yoko exclaimed, covering herself instinctively. The golden flames cloaked her completely, providing an ethereal barrier.

Tsunade, worried, asked, "Is she alright? What's happening to her?"

"She's fine," Yoichi reassured her. "The phoenix is a creature of immense vitality. Its essence is hard to suppress, but with training, Yoko will learn to control it."

He added sternly, "Yoko, you must begin mental discipline immediately. This isn't a trivial matter."

Yoko, smiling cheekily, replied, "I know, Dad! But I want to train with you!"

"Of course, as long as you're safe," Yoichi replied, feeling the strain from the intense battle. Despite absorbing some life energy from the phoenix, his chakra expenditure far exceeded his gains.

...

In the following days, Yoichi summoned a variety of creatures, though none matched the phoenix's power. Most were unsuitable, with two instances summoning magical pigs—creatures prized for their tender, energy-rich meat. He decided to breed them as a food source.

By the tenth day, he exhausted his summoning attempts. The last effort produced a phoenix, but it was a small bird reminiscent of the one from the Harry Potter universe—beautiful but far less useful in combat.

Unable to find a suitable beast for Kimimaro, Yoichi turned his attention to his next goal: returning 1,235 years into the past.

After informing his family of his plans, Yoichi activated Karasuki, the time-travel artifact.

...

"Energy fully charged. Activating 'Karasuki' for time travel," the artifact announced as it transformed into a glowing turtle.

"Take me back 1,235 years," Yoichi instructed.

"Understood. Estimated travel time: one hour," Karasuki replied, and Yoichi found himself in the flow of time, watching the eras rewind.

"A whole hour? That's slow," Yoichi muttered.

Eventually, the journey ended as white light enveloped him.

"Arrival complete: 1,235 years ago. Energy depleted by 93%. Recharge required for another jump," Karasuki reported.

"Almost out of energy, huh? So its limit is about 1,000 years. Karasuki, can you jump a thousand years into the future?"

"Future travel requires ten times the energy of past travel and cannot guarantee the destination aligns with this timeline."

Hearing this, Yoichi shook his head and stowed the artifact.

Taking to the skies, Yoichi surveyed the area. He was over a lush forest, likely near the future site of Konoha.
