Shikamaru's brows twitched at so many awards. He had long understood that this system did not care deeply about some kind of world balance, but this time it again exceeded all limits!
- Hmm ... To be honest, with so many fate points, I can already afford almost everything. This thing seems to go towards this on purpose, besides ... - Shikamaru spotted a special task with the largest reward. It was like the past again and will clearly cause a change after collecting all the rewards. Besides, what else is the physical potential ...
In any case, even with all his advantages, Shikamaru did not become particularly vain, because he well understood that he had achieved his strength mainly not with hard work. Therefore, he respected people like Might Guy and Rock Lee the most to this day. But, only a fool will not be content with what he has, even if it is luck. There's nothing you can do about it. At least Shikamaru was always aware of these advantages and was certainly not going to prove to everyone how hard he went to the goal and how much he worked for it. But he did not intend to and treats it as a given. He fully appreciated his advantages and was going to keep them at all costs!
Shikamaru didn't think about it for a long time, but just sat down and took all the awards at once. At the same moment, as soon as he began to comprehend new techniques, an amazing change occurred deep in the guy's soul. The red glow of the small fire grew rapidly, becoming brighter and noticeably larger. It already looked almost the same as it had got into this world, until it completely dissipated, merging with Shikamaru's body. The power of fate around him instantly strengthened, and the system underwent a number of changes. Of course, Shikamaru himself felt some shifts deep in himself, but busy with realizing the S rank techniques, he did not pay much attention to this, because he still could not determine the essence of the changes. Maybe Shikamaru got a lot from the system, but he always took training seriously. So now, he did not waste time on useless things.
When Shikamaru finished, he decided to take the second step in his development.
But, he suddenly frowned, realizing some oddities in himself. In less than a couple of seconds, he felt as if a heavy load had fallen from his shoulders, then he immediately understood what was the reason:
- Here it is ... These are the limits ... - the guy nodded thoughtfully and exhaled with relief. He was really glad, this time the step with the acquisition of Jugo's genome and subsequent mutations brought many advantages! After all, he was finally able to step over the physical limits, in other words, his strength, endurance and speed will grow now, as before, without any stupor and slow stops. He completely stepped over in his physical characteristics of ordinary shinobi, and surpassed even Hashirama Senju in body quality. Although his regeneration did not rise to the divine level, but he was now not limited and could well develop it even to the level of Madara and maybe higher.
Removing such chains is perhaps even more useful than getting new pedigrees, which, as always, he puts off for later. Indeed, in fact, Shikamaru has long turned into some kind of Chimera of abilities, you can't argue with that. But even so, he still clearly saw his path, he made these purchases not just for fun or out of greed. He wanted to take the best from everyone and put it together. Now he had real potential to become the strongest shinobi in the world, physically, perhaps without the huge reserves of chakra of all the biju, but the potential was there. Only someone like Hagoromo or his brother possessed this. Even the children of the Sage did not have such a potential and such an altered organism. They all had limits!
Of course, for now, Shikamaru still couldn't match the Sage of the Six Paths, even in growth potential. In all respects, he was losing, starting from the quality of the chakra, ending with the body and origin. Yet the Sage's body had something unique and extraterrestrial from Kaguya, while Shikamaru followed a different path. He developed his chakrakanals and tanketsu through the Hyuuga lineage. The Byakugan and the powers of the eyes are also from them. With an Uchiha bloodline, he developed his mind and brain as a whole, striving for total chakra control and a possible Rinnegan. Senju's pedigree developed the body in general, improved every cell to the highest values. Moreover, Shikamaru decided to write a unique variable into this formula - Jugo and Kaguya. One could allow one to connect with natural energy, while the other could strengthen bones and change their structure. All this could make Shikamaru a completely unique creature, while this, not to mention the fact that there were other bloodlines in his body. Even Uzumaki could find a place. After all, Shikamaru could even fit Inuzuka and Nara together. Yes, Shikamaru mixed a bunch of abilities and most of them probably never use, but is that important? By connecting everything, you can turn into a real monster!
Shikamaru transcended human limits and destroyed the first obstacle to the development of the body. Now the problem was the amount of chakra and its control, lack of experience and possibly age. Yes, in reality these are not such problems, everything is completely solvable.
The problem, perhaps, was that the tasks were getting smaller. True, and the awards were probably not small, so it's still bearable.
In any case, Shikamaru finally ended up with reflection, awareness of techniques and his limits, embarking on the next step in his development. The mutations have been cleared, but this is just the beginning. Today Shikamaru was going to merge his bloodlines. He had an idea to buy more new ones, but for now he decided to deal with the basis. Nevertheless, soon it was fifteen and it was quite possible to wait it out. And the new pedigrees will not really change anything, you can complete the tasks, but the guy did not need the points of fate yet, so he was not going to take this step. But, it was worth it to impoverish what was available, because it was another part of his plan to become the strongest! He was going to create a completely new and unique bloodline! He wanted to create his own genus and his own genomes!
