Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

Chapter 23 I cannot do something like killing an entire clan.

Name: Hinata Seiran

Ninja ID: 9707

[Ninja Career: Graduated from the Ninja Academy at age seven, mastered the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms at age eight, became a Chunin at age ten, possessing strength comparable to a Jonin, yet has not yet submitted his Jonin examination application.]

[Ninja School's Comments: One of the children who can perfectly inherit the Will of Fire]

[Early Life: Orphaned at a young age, she was trained to use the Caged Bird Technique. Within the Hyuga clan, she works diligently and without complaint, but is frequently harassed by the Hyuga main family in various ways. Most recently, she was subjected to the Caged Bird Technique over ten days ago...]

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly as he looked at the dossier in his hand.

The file contained a detailed report about Hyuga Seiran. From his birth and training to his recent whereabouts, everything was recorded clearly.

"They're oppressed by the main family every day, yet they still work hard without complaint?"

Danzo murmured softly.

As far as he knew, any branch family member of the Hyuga clan who had encountered or witnessed the Caged Bird Seal would have a seed of resentment towards fate quietly planted deep in their heart.

And these seeds will take root and sprout during the growth process, growing around the heart.

Eventually, it bloomed into a flower called "Hatred".

Moreover, this kind of emotion often erupts when people don't understand what it means to be patient or to weigh the pros and cons.

But such patience as Hinata Seiran's is rare...

It should be said that it is the only one.

As the dark side of the village, Danzo had seen all kinds of disguises and true natures.

Someone like Hinata Seiran, who is submissive and accepting of whatever comes his way, can be ordered around by anyone who is from the main branch of the family.

There are only two kinds of people.

The first type endures to near perfection, feigning so convincingly that they even deceive themselves, waiting for the opportune moment to strike decisively. Even if the end of the road leads to utter destruction, they will grit their teeth and persevere.

The second option...

They have become numb, taking oppression for granted, and living like zombies.

Which one will it be?

Danzo closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

If it's the former, just touching a single clue will reveal signs of his struggle; if it's the latter, it will be much harder to sway him.

but……

Danzo opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy pupils.

Even the most numb person has a crack in their heart. As long as someone can ignite it, that crack can become the starting point for climbing.

Moreover, Danzo was more inclined towards the former. After a moment's thought, he had already included Qinglan in his list of potential candidates.

Although it's engraved with the Caged Bird Seal, preventing it from being directly added to the Root,... it's not out of the question to be a side character.

Moreover, their strength has already been tested in the mission.

Of course, assessments are also necessary. Danzo has even already decided on the personnel to conduct the assessments.

He spread out the mission sheet, wrote it down quickly, stamped it with the Hokage's seal, and gave the instructions.

"Entrust this mission to 'Jie' and ensure its successful completion."

"yes!"

The Root ninja took the mission assignment and disappeared into the shadows at the end of the underground corridor.

Danzo sat back down in his chair, his gaze falling on his right arm, which was wrapped in bandages.

The next step is to refine the use of interstitial cells.

Interstitial cells... they're really powerful...

He felt the vitality brought to his body by the Hashirama cells, but at the same time, he also suffered the gradual petrification of his right arm.

We can't wait any longer.

"Tell Orochimaru to hurry back to the village!"

-

night.

In the southeast corner of Konoha Village, there is an inconspicuous courtyard.

Hinata Seiran sat alone in front of the small wooden jig, with a rough pottery teapot on the low table in front of him, a trace of water still clinging to the spout.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air, stirring up a flood of emotions.

He held his teacup but didn't drink; he simply watched the tiny tea leaves floating in the tea.

When he was a child, he led a few guards from the branch family to go hunting, just to satisfy the cravings of the young lady from the main family.

If he remembers correctly, Tokuma almost got bumped into that time because he didn't notice the prey lurking in the shadows.

And it was during that time that Hinata Seiran explained these principles to him.

Now, bringing up this past event again...

Is it a reminder to him that someone is watching him?

Hinata Seiran picked up the teapot, poured out the slightly cooled tea from the cup, and refilled it with boiling hot water.

Steam carrying the aroma of tea wafted onto his face, blurring his features.

In the misty air, a touch of azure in those flawless white eyes stood out exceptionally.

"The main family is still fixated on that scroll."

Hinata Seiran chuckled inwardly.

It's truly unexpected that the Hyuga clan is so fascinated by the next stage of the Byakugan, to the point of almost going mad.

He gently stroked the eyes that emitted a faint blue light, feeling the immense power contained within them.

"My eyes right now can only be considered to be in the initial stage of the Reincarnation Eye..."

"But I never expected that just activating it would grant me such power... I haven't even felt any fetal movement yet..."

There are two conditions for the complete evolution of the Tenseigan.

One type is the sublimation of bloodline.

The fusion of Otsutsuki chakra and the pure Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can give rise to the prototype of the Tenseigan.

To reach the final stage, which is the level of Otsutsuki Toneri, one must continuously merge and sublimate within the eyes, a process commonly known as "fetal movement".

As for Hinata Seiran's Tenseigan now, it can only be considered as having entered the threshold, at most gaining the ability to control puppets and spirits.

To improve the purity of the eyes, it is necessary to "fetal movement".

To detect "fetal movement," one needs a pair of even purer white eyes.

Or... combine a large number of white eyes.

This is the second way to obtain the Tenseigan.

It incorporates a large number of Byakugan from the Otsutsuki or Hyuga clans.

That's how the giant Reincarnation Eye on the moon came about.

Although the bloodlines of the Otsutsuki branch families on the moon are not as pure as those of the Hyuga clan, their numbers are still far greater than those of the main family at that time.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Countless families followed one after another, sacrificing their own dignity, and forcibly built a force that could rival everything.

Hinata Seiran couldn't help but recall those large groups of branch family Otsutsuki with impure bloodlines on the moon back then.

If the quality is lacking, make up for it with quantity.

The power contained within this cobbled-together giant Tenseigan is equally unparalleled.

So what if he collects enough Hyuga Byakugan?

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan far surpasses that of the Otsutsuki branch family on the moon in terms of purity.

If the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon is like a murky stream, then the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is like a clear spring on a mountain peak.

"Birds that stay in trees never worry about the branches beneath their feet breaking."

"Because it always believed in itself, believed in its own wings..."

Hinata Seiran's eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them.

There's always a way; as long as you're willing to think, there's always a way out.

"Although the Hyuga clan cannot compare to the number of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, their quality is comparable."

"As long as the entire clan... ptooey..."

Hinata Seiran shook his head, quickly banishing the thought from his mind.

He could never bring himself to kill his entire clan.

However, collecting those that have opened one's eyes is feasible...

"I wonder what the Tenseigan, formed by fusing numerous awakened Hyuga Byakugan, will look like?"

Hinata Seiran smiled slightly, his Byakugan widening as he looked at the Root members who were hiding behind a tree trunk outside the courtyard gate, observing them.

But before realizing this grand vision, we still need to deal with the little mice at the root...

Or rather, it was a gift sent by Danzo...
