Uzumaki Heiyan's mother was a member of the Uzumaki clan who died from complications during childbirth.
His father was an elderly wealthy merchant from the Land of Fire, originally planning to grow old in Uzugakure.
However, Heiyan knew that Uzu Country would be destroyed during the Second Great Ninja War. So while still young, he used every means possible to convince his father to leave Uzugakure, eventually relocating their entire family to settle in Konoha.
Then, with his knowledge of the Naruto storyline and sharp business mind, Heiyan gradually influenced his father's decisions, acquiring various businesses in Konoha.
At that time, shortly after the First Great Ninja War had ended, Konoha entered a period of rapid development. Over the past decade, the Heiyan family's wealth grew exponentially.
With such an ideal starting point, logically speaking, Heiyan should have enjoyed a comfortable life.
Yet everything changed when he first extracted chakra at age four—he discovered a shocking truth:
The Six-Tomoe necklace that caused his transmigration had fused into his body, absorbing all the chakra he painstakingly cultivated.
Initially, instead of panicking, he actually felt pleased.
Before transmigrating, he'd been an avid bookworm for over a decade, reading countless web novels. He immediately recognized this as the legendary "plot device"—commonly known as a game-breaking cheat.
Based on what he'd learned from books, all he needed to do was nourish the Six-Tomoe Jewel using chakra, then patiently wait—sooner or later, his special ability would activate automatically.
Unfortunately, reality proved him overly optimistic.
From the day he first cultivated chakra, his nightmare began.
Since then, the Six-Tomoe Jewel became like a never-satiated glutton, constantly demanding more.
To satisfy its appetite, Heiyan had no choice but to train relentlessly. Every ounce of chakra he generated vanished instantly, sucked away completely—as if oxen sinking into the sea.
Ten years passed—from age four until fourteen.
No one knew how exactly he endured those years.
Being a member of the Uzumaki clan granted him naturally abundant chakra. Combined with Tsunade's chakra transfers over the past three years, the total amount absorbed by the Six-Tomoe Jewel likely rivaled that of a Tailed Beast.
He'd worked like a dog in his past life—'996' meant nine-to-nine, six days a week. Now in this life it was '007': zero-to-zero, seven days straight. Was this truly a working man's destiny?
During this prolonged waiting period, Heiyan gradually fell into despair.
"Never lose heart—as long as you don't give up, there will always be hope!"
Suddenly recalling Tsunade's words pulled him from his gloom.
Along with his mentor Kosuke Maruboshi, she was someone whose bond gave him strength in this world—a lifeline since his father passed away.
Regaining composure, Heiyan prepared to return to his room for more training.
Just then, his entire body trembled.
Because he suddenly noticed—the Six-Tomoe Jewel inside him had stopped absorbing his chakra!
Could it mean that…
After so many years, was his god-given advantage finally awakening?
Thinking this, Heiyan quickly went downstairs into the basement.
The basement contained a refrigerator, bed, television, toilet, large quantities of water and food, plus specialized air exchange facilities—sufficient supplies for surviving over a year uninterrupted.
Here, Heiyan could calmly await the transformation of his Six Tomoe.
Creak!
He turned the doorknob, locked the door, and had barely taken a few steps forward when—
Hiss!
A sudden sharp pain shot through his chest. His face contorted in agony as he curled into a fetal position, slowly collapsing onto the ground.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, one of the Six Tomoe within Heiyan shattered.
In an instant, massive amounts of white light surged from his chest, weaving continuously around his body like silkworms spinning silk, enveloping him completely inside.
Forming a chakra cocoon.
Time passed.
One hour, two hours.
One day, two days.
Inside the quiet sealed chamber, the chakra cocoon flickered between brightness and dimness. Within it, Heiyan's eyes remained tightly shut as he hugged his knees in a fetal position, undergoing some magnificent metamorphosis while asleep.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Crack!
A fissure appeared on the surface of the cocoon… A slender, pale hand stretched out from within.
Immediately—
More cracks formed. The cocoon shattered, scattering like broken eggshells across the floor, with endless waves of white light bursting forth. From within that radiant glow, Heiyan finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
Reborn like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
Heiyan still appeared quite frail, but his entire aura had completely changed.
Previously, he had seemed aged and listless, like an old man on his deathbed.
Now, however, he radiated vitality like the rising sun, glowing with indescribable energy from within.
"The genetic makeup of this body seems to have been entirely reshaped by the Six Tomoe. The Uzumaki bloodline has partially undergone atavism, transforming into a Sage's constitution…"
Heiyan looked at his own pale hand and instinctively clenched his fist, feeling full of strength.
Gu gu gu~
His stomach growled loudly, soon followed by intense hunger. He glanced at the clock and realized he had actually slept for three whole days.
So he opened the refrigerator and devoured everything inside like a storm sweeping away fallen leaves.
An hour later.
After satisfying his hunger, Heiyan exited the hidden room and walked into the courtyard.
By now, night had fallen deep, the sky filled with bright moonlight and scattered stars.
He took a deep breath. Now was the time to test the potential of this new body.
Quickly forming the familiar seals: Boar → Dog → Bird.
[Water Release: Wild Water Wave]!
Heiyan placed his right hand beside his mouth, finger pointed toward the sky, then exhaled sharply.
Splash!
Instantly, chakra erupted from within him. With a thunderous roar, it surged outward like a bursting dam, flooding the entire courtyard with rushing water...
The vast yard had transformed into a swimming pool, furniture floating aimlessly with the current drifting past Heiyan.
Oh man.
Someone unfamiliar might mistake him for casting not the Wild Water Wave, but rather a Rushing Water Wave instead.
The first characteristic of Sage Transformation: chakra comparable in power to that of a Tailed Beast.
Heiyan stood atop the water, breathing steadily. His chakra showed no sign of depletion, and he felt absolutely no fatigue whatsoever.
Compared to before, it was like heaven and earth.
Ten minutes later.
The water in the courtyard had finally drained completely through the sewer. Fortunately, it was late at night, so the commotion Heiyan caused didn't attract any attention.
Then, he pulled out a kunai from the ninja tool pouch at his waist. After a brief moment of thought, he lightly sliced his own arm with it.
Plop~
Blood trickled from the wound.
But soon the bleeding stopped, and the wound healed rapidly — gone in under a minute as though it had never been there.
This is the second trait of the Sage Transformation: automatically healing injuries without needing to form hand seals, possessing amazing vitality.
However, is this all?
Heiyan kept his expression restrained, not allowing himself to get carried away — he knew it wasn't time to celebrate yet.
Among ninja, there were those whose chakra rivaled that of tailed beasts — Kisame Hoshigaki and the Fourth Raikage, for instance.
Likewise, many possessed astonishing vitality and recovery abilities, such as Uzumaki Karin and Tsunade.
Even those who simultaneously possessed tailed beast-level chakra and powerful regenerative capabilities did exist — for example, Uzumaki Nagato.
However, compared to someone with the Sage's Body, all these people still had essential differences.
What truly defined the Sage Transformation lay in its third feature.
Heiyan naturally wielded chakra of six different natures — Water, Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Yang — and over the past few years, under the tutelage of Kosuke Maruboshi, he mainly practiced the Water Release techniques developed by the Second Hokage, supplementing his training with Lightning Release.
At this moment, he formed hand seals again, ending with the "Monkey" seal, then concentrated blue-colored Lightning Release chakra into his palm.
This was a very basic Lightning Release jutsu, requiring no chakra transformation — it simply released raw electricity to strike its target.
"Haa!"
With a low shout, Heiyan brought his five fingers together, palm straight like a blade, aimed precisely at the dummy ahead, and thrust forward.
Something incredible happened.
Pff!
The dummy was pierced effortlessly. The residual Lightning Release chakra left behind a puff of white smoke on its surface.
Seeing this, Heiyan finally showed a pleased expression.
After all, this dummy was one of the most expensive training models sold by the Ninja Equipment Shop, costing over ten thousand ryō. It was specially designed for Konoha Anbu in training. Even throwing knives or shuriken launched by jonin would struggle to penetrate it.
Yet now, against his basic Lightning Release jutsu, it was as soft as tofu, utterly defenseless.
This was the third and most crucial trait of the Sage Transformation: greatly amplifying the power of all ninjutsu!
Right then, Heiyan thought of two others — the only ones apart from the Sage of Six Paths' family to possess the Sage Transformation.
Hashirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki.
The former's Wood Release wasn't necessarily an especially formidable kekkei genkai, but with the boost provided by the Sage Transformation, it could suppress tailed beasts and sweep across the ninja world.
Naruto's Rasengan was merely an A-rank jutsu, but once enhanced by the Sage Transformation, it became capable of "one-shot kills," even going so far as to match Sasuke's Kagutsuchi-enhanced Chidori with just a basic Rasengan in their final clash.
Jiraiya, the "Perverted Sage," took decades to gradually perfect his own Sage Mode.
However, Naruto stayed at Mount Myoboku for only half a month. The Sage Art power he displayed was already beyond Jiraiya's.
As for Hashirama Senju, it was even more outrageous—he could instantly enter Sage Mode just by clapping his hands together, unleashing Sage Art capable of destroying heaven and earth.
The reason? The third trait of Sage Transformation: it boosts all ninjutsu.
It transforms the mundane into the miraculous, making even basic jutsu explode with power, pushing already mighty techniques to unimaginable heights—
