Chapter 176: Exploring the Samsara Eye, the Gift of the Reincarnation Eye

"Brother, did you have that idea back then?"

Inside the Moon, in a space far removed from the human world, a drifting soul's complexion appeared especially strange.

And he is the true creator of the Moon's inner world, Da Tongmu Yucun, the brother of the Sage of Six Paths Da Tongmu Yuyi!

Death may be an inescapable fate for others, but for someone whose strength has reached an incalculable level and who also carries the Da Tongmu bloodline, it is different.

Death is merely a different way for him to rest!

Even though the body has decayed, their souls can still continue to persist alongside chakra.

Moreover, they can transmit their chakra to a designated person to provide necessary assistance!

Today he was startled awake, or rather, he had already awakened long ago.

And that time, he helplessly watched his descendants clash with each other, ultimately causing the vast majority to die in that battle.

Worse still, the survivors were eventually corroded by the power of the Reincarnation Eye; they clearly have little time left!

"Could the mutual clashes of my descendants be my and Brother's fate?"

Da Tongmu Yucun almost laughed in exasperation; even though this relative is somewhat distant, is it not excessive to cause such trouble at his own grave?

Thus he did not continue to choose deep slumber, but kept watching what this little guy was up to.

How on earth is this guy managing to do all this?

And on the Moon, having avoided the chaos of the Ninja World, his descendants, who serve as the first line of defense against the arrival of the maternal clan, have actually begun!

That alone was enough to astonish him, but he discovered another development that made him even more restless.

He couldn't help but think to himself, but what he didn't expect was that he had just fallen asleep again 'not long after', only to be woken up once more.

Da Tongmu Yucun became somewhat alert; although, like his good brother, he doesn't like meddling in these matters, adopting a completely 'let the later generations handle it themselves' attitude.

"And you also know this is the mother's sealed land—wait, how does he know?"

However, just as he hesitated whether to act, he saw a scene that left him speechless.

And this time, the person who woke him up almost made him 'fake death'!

But the little guy's chakra is so dense, and his bloodline purity is absurdly high, which made him undeniably curious.

"That's not right; Indra's chakra, though reincarnated, hasn't been that intense after so many years."

How could this sit well with him?

But adhering to the same thinking as his brother, letting later generations solve their own problems, he never intervened.

His entire strength has fully transformed to Indra's level, and his bloodline has already reached Indra's standard!

Through his observation, he was indeed taken aback; he was stunned by the tangled forces inside the little guy called Yuzhi.

This girl can already project her technique using the power of the Reincarnation Eye; if she truly intends to do something, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Indra? How could that be possible?"

Da Tongmu Yucun still had some understanding of the matters his two nephews had caused.

When he saw the young man who arrived here, he was completely stunned in an instant.

"Perhaps those descendants who left the Moon and entered the Ninja World made an absolutely correct decision?"

Why does this kid have such a strong hidden aura, and his bloodline purity is also extremely high—what on earth is he?

Sometimes Da Tongmu Yucun couldn't help but think that Indra and A Xiu Luo could reach that level; over millennia they keep reincarnating in descendants, yet it never ends.

Da Tongmu Yucun's face was full of astonishment; when he heard these people's conversation, especially Yuzhi's words, he was completely stunned.

Nevertheless, he decided to keep observing to see what this little guy actually wants.

The subtle Indra aura hidden on this young man, though obscure, was crystal clear to him, almost causing him to mistake his identity!

"You know what the Moon is; are you planning to do this kind of thing here?"

But he quickly furrowed his brows, unable to figure out what was going on.

Moreover, that junior named Yuzhi actually used his power to cause his own chakra to undergo a complete transformation.

And those among them completely misunderstood his meaning, yet they ultimately won.

He actually saw a technique resembling 'Infinite Moon Reading'!

"What on earth is going on with these people?"

They were clearly blood brothers, yet due to ideological disputes and allegiance to the Ninja Sect, they fought for millennia, and even now continue battling through chakra reincarnation.

This left him utterly puzzled: when was the Samsara Eye activated, and which Indra descendant or A Xiu Luo descendant obtained the other's power to reach this point?

Then he saw these people slaughter his descendants like killing chickens and sheep, and also witnessed the raging Susanoo and the howling Ten-Tails husk.

After a thousand years, these reincarnated chakras have almost erased their own consciousness, yet the instincts imprinted within the chakra still function.

This guy has almost gathered all of his mother's power, and crucially, he still possesses a sliver of 'Chakra Origin Power'!

"This kid, could it be..."

As long as they are reincarnations of Indra and A Xiu Luo, they will continuously fight each other!

Probably that's why it's so intense; these chakras have long been ground down to almost nothing, and over a thousand years of propagation in the Ninja World, the bloodlines have begun to degrade.

"And I almost got duped by this little guy; he not only wields Indra's power, but also a subtle A Xiu Luo power, even parts of my own power and my mother's power!"

The subsequent scenes truly left him astonished, and he even gradually began to feel numb.

But once his mother is involved, both he and his brother would inevitably take action.

He could plainly see that this technique wasn't Infinite Moon Reading, yet it seemed capable of reaching that level, which heightened his alertness to the utmost.

Not to mention, he saw a guy with an A Xiu Luo bloodline inexplicably bearing a pair of Samsara Eyes.

Could one, using some documents and data, determine and guess the Moon's passage?

And using the stele information his brother left for Indra, plus his brother's indulgence of Indra and A Xiu Luo's rivalry, he inferred the cause of their ancient conflict with their mother.

He even combined this information with some legends to deduce his mother's origins and what she intended to do.

"How are you more outrageous than the toad my brother knows?"

Da Tongmu Yucun was starting to lose his composure; he had met clever people back then, but never anyone whose cleverness was almost prophetic.

Back then, his older brother knew a little toad named He Ma Wan, which possessed some prophetic ability, though its predictions were still vague.

That kid wasn't merely making predictions; he seemed to have seen through the fog of history and narrated everything as if it were already revealed.

"Moreover, his plan actually seems quite good, except—"

What made Da Tongmu Yucun's expression odd was whether his own older brother truly thought that way back then.

Using Yintuo Luo and A Xiu Luo's battle hammers to forge the ninja world, making it brimming with combat power, as a way to face future cataclysms?

Even though his mind was full of doubts, after hearing these youngsters' accounts—especially the words of the child who has now almost become Yintuo Luo—

Da Tongmu Yucun no longer intended to act, because in his view such a child probably loved the ninja world and truly intended to protect it.

How they would act in the future, how they would confront all this, genuinely piqued his curiosity.

Especially the power within that child seemed to be advancing toward his mother; not only him, his wife appeared to be the same.

"I never expected that impulsive kid Yintuo Luo, his descendants turned out to be so incredible—if only back then—"

Da Tongmu Yucun gently shook his head; pondering the question further was pointless, and now he was more eager to see what this youngster would do later.

Because perhaps this kid could truly change the world!

"Sigh, but I'm still so unwilling—could my older brother really be a genius?"

——

"We've pretty much gone through all the data, right? We should head back now."

Inside the Moon, Yuzhi looked at Changmen and the others and spoke.

He still didn't realize that Da Tongmu Yucun had already set his sights on him, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care that much.

Da Tongmu Yucun's abilities were still beyond what Yuzhi could handle at this stage, so he always assumed he was being watched by the two brothers, Yucun and Yuyi.

He even counted Da Tongmu Kaguya, that old woman, into his calculations.

Thus he had spoken so many "kind words" earlier, aiming to prevent the other side from hating him, or at least from treating him as an enemy.

Strictly speaking, Yuzhi's condition was rather odd; his internal power was overly complex, yet fundamentally his strength was aligning with Da Tongmu Kaguya's.

Besides that, Hikari's performance was also absurdly impressive, and even Changmen's pair of Wheel Eyes truly warranted attention.

But on further thought, perhaps even if the situation were discovered, it wouldn't be that serious.

After all, the Sage of Six Paths completely ignored it, and as the Sage's younger brother, Da Tongmu Yucun adopted a hands‑off attitude toward his descendants' actions.

He probably doesn't have many reasons to manage his own affairs, does he?

"And they probably wouldn't even know that their mother gave them a younger brother, right?"

Although many thoughts swirled in his mind, Yuzhi remained relatively calm; the purpose of this outing was now fully accomplished for him.

Moreover, one could say that everything he gained this time far exceeded his expectations!

The enhancement of his bloodline, the progress of his own power's fusion, and the complete transformation of Yintuo Luo's chakra—each of these was something Yuzhi had been yearning for.

Now, with the power of the Reincarnation Eye and this mission, he achieved it all, and his mood couldn't be better!

Besides, Hikari's issue was solved; she finally attained the Eternal Eye—how could that not excite Yuzhi?

Not to mention, Hikari also linked this Reincarnation Eye with the Eight Thousand Spears; though it's unclear whether, after returning to the ninja world, they can still draw the eye's power through the Eight Thousand Spears.

But all of that will have to wait until they go back; now is not the time to consider it.

"Hmm, indeed we need to go back."

Xiao Nan nodded; indeed they needed to return, and the situation in the Rain Country had been weighing on her throughout their long outing.

Although Orochimaru still wanted to stay here, the sheer amount of data was overwhelming, and every book fascinated him greatly.

But Yuzhi also urged them to leave; there was nothing he could do. As for Xie, although he found plenty of puppetry material, the shift in his research focus made him more interested in cloning.

As for Changmen, he fell truly silent at that moment, his gaze distant, his thoughts unreadable.

"Hmm, let's go back."

After a while, he finally spoke in a depressed tone, but soon turned his gaze back to Yuzhi.

"But whose eyes are they, exactly?"

The Moon's library housed an absurd amount of material—records kept for nearly a millennium from an observer's perspective, which were the closest to the truth of the ninja world.

Even if Changmen wanted to finish all that material, he employed all his clones, working sleeplessly for nearly a week to complete it.

And through the records of the Sage of Six Paths, Yintuo Luo, and A Xiu Luo within the data, he was absolutely certain that Yuzhi had never deceived them, and that his own eyes were certainly not his!

He was a descendant of A Xiu Luo, lacking such eyes altogether, yet why were these eyes here with him?

"Whose are they—does it matter?"

Yuzhi tilted his head, looking at Changmen with puzzlement.

"Who these eyes truly belong to isn't really significant; the crucial thing is they grant you Yintuo Luo's power, which will help you grow.

Of course, the one who gave you these eyes probably hopes to nurture them using your Asura descendant's body.

Nevertheless, keeping them for now isn't harmful; you need their power, and you can also pretend to keep using them.

In the end, you can slowly uncover the truth, right?"

Yuzhi, of course, knew exactly what was going on, but he didn't want to give Changmen any urge to dig for eyes.

A pair of Wheel Eyes is still highly valuable; especially now that Changmen is cooperating with Yuzhi, possessing Wheel Eyes makes him an even more valuable research target.

Yuzhi won't use, nor intends to stuff someone else's eyes into his own sockets, so using Changmen as a sample becomes quite necessary.

Hikari's Eternal Eye issue is resolved, but the Wheel Eye problem becomes Yuzhi's new challenge!

As for the future Madara Uchiha?

That's a story for later; if Madara Uchiha truly emerges to overturn the world, he probably already possesses Wheel Eyes by then.

"I understand."

Perhaps Yuzhi's 'sincerity' moved him, after all sincerity is the greatest ultimate technique; Changmen heard this and nodded outright.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"You said you wanted to set up an opponent after unifying the world; do you have a target now?"

Hearing Changmen's words, Yuzhi couldn't help but tilt his head; was this guy volunteering himself?

Although Yuzhi admitted he had indeed entertained that idea, he wasn't clear when he himself could unify the ninja world.

Yuzhi isn't worried about his strength, but after accomplishing all this, how to maintain stability is the crucial point.

The ancestors once said, conquering a realm is easy, defending it is hard.

This is a practical issue Yuzhi must consider; he doesn't want to spend every day conducting 'anti‑terrorism' within the borders.

Moreover, the others he faces are a massive group of ninja; wiping them out all at once would unsettle residents elsewhere, while sparing them would allow lawlessness.

Thus, influencing their will and thoughts to reduce the number of resistors to a minimum means that eliminating them later won't cause much collateral.

When that time comes, even the Otsutsuki might arrive, but faced with Changmen's question, he still smiled and said,

"Although it's not officially decided yet—after all, what I intend to do takes time—I'd think you'd be my best choice, wouldn't you?"

"Besides, your current objective fits the image of a 'terrorist'—capturing the tailed beast—so we, the righteous, would naturally hunt you down."

"You're the damn terrorist!"

Hearing Yuzhi's words, Changmen suddenly couldn't hold back; he bowed his blackened face, nodded, and then fell silent.

He realized he truly disliked that Hokage, even though he was indeed a good person.

But he was also a scoundrel!

"Alright, let's go."

Yuzhi didn't care what Changmen was thinking; he turned around, grabbed Hikari, who wasn't keen on leaving, and asked with a smile.

"Handling things on the Moon for them, no problem?"

"Hmm, how about I stay?"

Hikari subconsciously nodded, but soon thought of something and immediately said,

"No need; at most we can leave a clone behind, you can't stay."

Yuzhi spoke gravely, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was already unstoppable, and this scene made Changmen shake his head helplessly.

How does a person become so powerful, possess such a super‑high intellect, and become a Hokage?

But he quickly thought of his teacher Ziraiye, wondering if the 'old lecher' were actually hidden formidable figures.

Yuzhi didn't know what Changmen was thinking; otherwise he would have nodded in agreement.

However, as he left, Yuzhi turned his head to glance at the Feather Village Temple behind him, and couldn't help pondering something in his mind.

"Hikari's speed in awakening the Rinnegan won't be faster than mine, right?"

Hikari's current configuration is already beyond imagination!

She not only possesses Asura's power, and the things she still lacks are already few.

After some contemplation, Yuzhi also formed a few guesses about the necessary conditions for the Rinnegan.

Although he still needs Changmen to observe, he feels his speculation is already close enough.

One of the necessary conditions for awakening the Rinnegan is, naturally, the fusion of Indra and Asura's forces.

Both Madara Uchiha's experience and the Sage of Six Paths' later accounts have proven this.

Hikari indeed lacks Indra's power, but the issue is that Yuzhi himself is the 'modern Indra'!

Although it's still uncertain whether his power can produce the same effect, Yuzhi can give it a try; after all, the Rinnegan is with Changmen, and Sasuke is still his adopted son!

"So, in this regard she lacks..."

Secondly, naturally it's about using one's own eyes to complete the evolution.

In the original work, whether it's the Sage of Six Paths or Madara, their Rinnegan evolved from their own eyes; at least Yuzhi hasn't heard of borrowing another's body to achieve evolution.

Changmen's Rinnegan is mostly a Rinnegan that Madara placed on him for nurturing.

"And Hikari has now completed the bloodline transformation; she also possesses the Eternal Eye, so the second condition is met as well."

As for the third, Yuzhi thinks it likely requires massive chakra.

Actually, he's been pondering why Madara took so long to awaken the Rinnegan.

Indeed, after Indra's and Asura's forces attract and fuse, the Rinnegan's awakening time has a certain randomness.

But once the power reaches a certain level, randomness shouldn't make it that delayed, right?

If people are near death before it awakens, what's the point?

Having witnessed the Reincarnation Eye and having personally undergone the Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Extinction,

and with the data on the Demonic Sprout Technique he's currently revising in hand, he couldn't help forming a hypothesis.

"Madara took that long not only because of the Rinnegan's randomness, but also because he himself hadn't met the conditions!"

When Madara obtained and transplanted the First Hokage's flesh fragments, he actually ran into a huge trouble.

That was one of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan eyes that had used the forbidden Izanagi technique, completely losing its visual prowess.

Although he possessed Indra's chakra and an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his use of Izanagi in battle left him with only one eye.

With only a single eye's visual power, the strength of Shadow Release is probably insufficient.

Beyond that, he lacks the massive chakra needed to complete all this transformation.

In the ninja world, any advancement or evolution inevitably hinges on one key: massive chakra!

Be it sage techniques, Bloodline Limits, Bloodline Extinction, or even Sharingan upgrades, sufficient chakra is required.

The Rinnegan, as the world's most advanced power, if its enhancement didn't require massive chakra, that would be the most unbelievable!

"Look at the Reincarnation Eye on the Moon; its chakra is so massive it could practically serve as a 'Star‑Annihilating Cannon'."

Such overwhelming power, if lacking sufficient chakra during its consolidation, simply cannot be realized.

Although there is no evidence, Yuzhi thinks this kind of speculation shouldn't be a big problem.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Madara, such a powerful person, had to endure until old age and near death before evolving the Rinnegan.

In the end he had to devise a series of plans, hoping to use Rinne Tensei to return himself to his prime.

Could it really be just because of the "instant activation", dragging him there alive?

He also roughly understands why Madara placed the Rinnegan on Nagato, because Nagato possesses an incomprehensibly massive amount of chakra, making him the perfect host for the Rinnegan.

"But Hikari is different…"

Hikari's eyes are intact; even if her Shadow Release chakra might be insufficient, she can wait a bit, after all she now possesses her own Eternal Eye!

Moreover, under Yuzhi's arrangement, they have a considerable amount of Tailed Beast chakra, and they even hold a Rinnegan!

"So, Hikari now has everything gathered; as long as she nurtures her eye with enough Shadow Release, and then uses my or other means to obtain Indra's Power, then…"

Thinking of this, Yuzhi couldn't help but shiver; Hikari could indeed be faster than him!

He is not sure whether his Rinnegan can break free from the system's "rules", since his eye's enhancement is tied to system rewards like "Zhuo Er Extraordinary".

But Hikari can grow freely and wildly; if she truly is bound, then Hikari will surely be faster than him!

This involuntarily makes him recall the days when he was a Three Tomoe, while Hikari was at the Mangekyou Sharingan level.

"Could it be that I'm going to be crushed by her again?"

"Sigh… seems like having her on top isn't impossible…"

After all, fully automatic, right. ——

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? I just got back and there's already so much going on?"

"Hmph, you used a Wood Clone to handle it; who knows if you were focused on work? This is a re‑examination of your previous resolve!"

"Do you have a problem with your brain? Isn't the Wood Clone just my consciousness?"

Inside the Hokage's office, Yuzhi finally couldn't hold back as he stared at the pile of documents covering the entire desk.

That stack of files on the desk was comparable to the mountain of books that piled on his desk when he was a high‑school senior before transmigrating.

Back then, he relied on those books to hide his snacks during class and block the teacher's view; he never imagined that in this world he'd face such a dread again.

He has been back for several days, and before he could even perform the "Opening Light", he was seized and brought here.

First he gave a rough account of his experiences on the Moon, then several days of nonstop work followed.

Moreover, Senju Heijian and the Third Hokage kept a close eye on him, fearing he might again use a clone to handle matters and tarnish the Hokage's name, which made him quite frustrated.

At first he endured it, since slacking off too long isn't good, but today he simply couldn't tolerate it any longer!

Having to review everything again—he never even studied that hard for exams—now being forced to do this feels like a nightmare.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the Impure Earth Reincarnation affecting your brain, it would just be that you're too old to keep up with the younger generation's pace.

I'll propose to the Third Hokage that you return to Pure Land to rest. Thank you for your effort, Heijian."

"You"

Senju Heijian suddenly lost his composure; he realized that even though the Uchiha are technically the Senju's brother clan, his hatred for the Uchiha is sincere.

Especially this guy in front of him makes him despise him to the extreme!

He has to admit, Yuzhi is both powerful and exceptionally clever, and after hearing their accounts of the "Moon Expedition", he became even more certain of that.

But why does such a perfect person have to be an Uchiha? Even if he's an Uchiha, perhaps it would be better without that mouth of his.

"Fifth Hokage, you called us?"

Just as Senju Heijian lost his composure, the Third Hokage arrived with his two advisors, as well as Ziraiye, Tsunade, Minato, and Nara Shikaku.

"Alright, everyone sit down."

Yuzhi nodded, and the urge to argue with Senju Heijian was completely set aside at that moment.

He knows when he can joke around and when he must be serious.

"This time I've called everyone together to discuss the issues on the Moon.

and also the Hyuga matters and the subsequent Akatsuki Organization issues, as these are relatively important to us."

Yuzhi's words made everyone nod; although they sensed Yuzhi was a bit irritable handling the documents, he deliberately chose this moment to bring it up.

After all, he had always wanted to discuss it before, but Yuzhi never had the intention; bringing it up now inevitably steers thoughts toward that direction.

Regardless, they won't question it, and they are quite looking forward to it now.

According to Yuzhi, the Moon holds countless ancient texts, even many cultivation methods lost to the Ninja World.

They are well aware how important these things truly are.

Moreover, they've heard Yuzhi's speculation about the future "Cataclysm", and naturally they hope Leaf Village can advance further to face whatever lies ahead!

"Lord Hokage, please speak."

Minato immediately spoke, and the Third Hokage and others had a gleam in their eyes, while Senju Heijian also composed his expression.

"Regarding those Moon documents, I plan to take a few people with me next time I go up, so we can categorize and bring them back."

Yuzhi said calmly, even though most of what the Otsutsuki on the Moon have collected are things better suited to their own abilities.

However, the materials on Shadow Release and Yang Release, as well as some ancient texts on chakra training, would be unimaginably valuable today.

In Leaf Village, the secret techniques of the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly three clans are essentially products of Shadow Release and Yang Release usage.

If they could master the powers of Shadow Release and Yang Release better, the boost to them would be unimaginable.

Especially, the Hyuga clan.

"As for the Hyuga…"

Yuzhi tapped the table, unable to stop pondering how to proceed.

After all, arranging matters for the Hyuga is complicated; the Moon's ancient texts would grant whoever obtains them an unimaginably massive boost for the current Hyuga.

And to give them these, one thing must be ensured: their "loyalty"!

"Dealing with the Hyuga is indeed a bit troublesome."

Although Senju Feijian doesn't get along with Yuzhi, he is wholeheartedly devoted to the Leaf Village, so he naturally understands what Yuzhi is troubled about.

"Members of the main house can be loyal, but their numbers are insufficient; branch house members are indeed strong, possessing rich combat experience, yet they are trapped by the Caged Bird."

"Once the main house obtains it, it's hard to say whether they won't become like those people on the Moon—having power but being idiots, and they probably wouldn't be willing to give it to the branch house."

"After all, no one knows whether the practice inside will break the Caged Bird, ultimately turning into the tragedy you mentioned happening on the Moon."

"Is it hard to categorize?"

Minato pondered for a moment and asked curiously.

"For example, extract the parts that could possibly resist the Caged Bird."

"On the Moon, the branch house being able to overturn the Heavenly Guard and crush the main house people likely largely stems from their ability to withstand the Caged Bird, ultimately using the Reincarnation Eye to complete the 'Star Annihilation Cannon' blanket bombardment."

"The idea is good, but implementation is difficult, because we fundamentally don't understand the Caged Bird."

Moreover, the practical issue is also rather bleak; Yuzhi shook his head helplessly.

"Although the Caged Bird belongs to the Seal Technique category, it's not clearly stated how it forms, how to eliminate it, or how it is structured."

This also makes it very difficult for us to do anything, and there are no documents or records of the Caged Bird on the Moon.

"No one knows whether this has been passed down by word of mouth, or whether those in power among the branch house simply destroyed these documents after taking charge."

Without knowing the principle or having documentary evidence as a basis, even if these people were geniuses, it would still be hard for them to find any solution to the Caged Bird.

"How about finding a Hyuga branch member to study?"

"Don't daydream; once you activate the Byakugan, the Caged Bird's 'self-destruct system' might be triggered."

"How about asking Hyuga Rizu and them?"

"Furthermore, don't be foolish; the main house people, to preserve their power, will definitely retaliate with the slogan 'the village should not interfere in family affairs.'"

"Although the village and family have never stopped their transactions and interference, after all everyone lives together, any policy will affect every aspect of a ninja family."

"Saying non-interference means you cannot do it outright, not that you cannot do it behind the scenes."

"Or why not simply find two people, give them two plans, and see who can agree."

As everyone was deep in thought, Senju Feijian pondered and then slammed the table.

"What is the name of their clan leader now?"

"Uji Hyuga Rizu."

"Yes, Hyuga Rizu."

Yuzhi almost blurted it out, but he nearly let his 'alias' slip; fortunately, he reacted quickly and corrected himself.

Although Senju Feijian felt a bit doubtful, he didn't dwell on it, nodded, and continued.

"Just tell him what we have in hand, inform him of the risks, and also tell him one more thing."

"If he wants these things, then from now on, everyone except him will be branch house!"

"The existence of the Caged Bird is valuable; it can prevent the Byakugan from falling into others' hands, but because its control was seized by the so‑called main house, the current situation arose."

"Therefore, the Hyuga clan has only one person belonging to the main house—their clan leader—and I think this issue can be eased and resolved."

"If he disagrees, go straight to his brother, tell him our plan, and also tell him that thereafter the entire Hyuga clan will be branch house and must bear the Caged Bird."

"That way, everyone will be equal, so there will naturally be no disparity, and we can also safeguard the Byakugan from being lost."

"Senju Feijian's words left everyone present stunned—what a ruthless mind to devise such a plan!"

"Telling Hyuga Rizu that everyone except him is branch house would secure his lineage's status, and he would become the absolute ruler of the family."

"In that case, his life would probably not be easy; the former main house, once marked with the Caged Bird, will surely oppose him."

"The former branch house might support him, but such support would definitely not be many."

"He can only fully rely on the Leaf Village, becoming the family's absolute lone wolf, listening only to the Leaf Village; then this problem is considered solved."

"If all Hyuga become branch house, it would either be after a brutal battle where the main and branch houses fought each other, weakening the Hyuga's strength, ultimately achievable."

"Or else, by fully relying on the Leaf Village, both sides reach a transaction that isn't very fair, which can likewise solve the problem."

"To come up with such a vicious plan in such a short time, one can only say he truly lives up to being Senju Feijian."

"Great idea!"

"As everyone was immersed in Senju Feijian's viciousness, Yuzhi immediately nodded and said."

"Then let's do it; since this matter was proposed by you, the Second Generation, I believe you are certainly capable."

"Then this task is entrusted to you."

"Huh?"

"Senju Feijian froze for a moment; he was only offering suggestions, not intending to take the lead himself!"

"But upon reflection, this task is indeed suitable for you."

"Yuzhi stroked his chin, not giving Senju Feijian a chance to speak, and smiled as he spoke."

"Anyway, you're already dead, so you have nothing to fear from infamy."

"Moreover, the Senju have already been thoroughly integrated into the Leaf Village through your plan, so the Hyuga seeking revenge would find no one to target."

"So, who else could take this task but you, Lord Second Generation!"

"You"

"Senju Feijian couldn't hold back—how utterly 'novice' would one have to be to push this old man out like that?"

"This little Uchiha devil is indeed born evil!"

"Seeing Senju Feijian's troubled expression, Yuzhi's smile grew even richer."

"If the Hyuga could master it, combining their current combat experience with the formidable fighting power of the Moon Big Tubewood,"

"Even if they can't match them, after arduous training reaching a certain level, the boost to the Leaf Village would still be enormous!"

"The Byakugan has always been a buried eye; as standard equipment of the Big Tubewood clan, for a long time it had only the 'scouting' effect, which is truly hard to imagine."

How to draw out their power is a matter Yuzhi must consider after becoming Hokage.

「Moreover, with training, perhaps we could cultivate an even better little brat who could get close to Otsutsuki Shibai. 」

Yuzhi had also been quite curious before: why did he and Hikari have no problems after bearing the power of the Reincarnation Eye?

However, the Moon Otsutsuki cannot; as for extending first, I'm afraid these Hyuga people, including Hinata, the 【Byakugan Princess】, probably cannot either.

The reason is simple: their bodies cannot withstand the power of the Reincarnation Eye.

Otsutsuki Shibai, although limited by conditions, showed in the original work only 【high-spec low-ability】, but his 【high-spec】 level has already reached a point acknowledged by the Otsutsuki clan.

Yuzhi remembers that Otsutsuki Urashiki seemed to have acknowledged him as his own 【clansman】.

Yuzhi and Hikari are obviously not up to standard, but they do have something else.

For example, their bloodline has been enhanced; for example, they have Senju ZhuZhang inside them, and also genes from the Taketori clan.

When added together, these things allow them to withstand the power of the Reincarnation Eye.

「So, the Moon Otsutsuki painstakingly cultivate Yang Release; besides matching their combat skills, is it also to enable themselves to withstand these powers? 」

Such a thought involuntarily popped into Yuzhi's mind; after all, the Byakugan belongs to Shadow Release, so they should be cultivating Shadow Release, not Yang Release.
