[From confronting Otsutsuki Hamura, you have obtained a special talent—Hamura's Astonishment!]
[Hamura's Astonishment]: You have obtained the substantial purification of the Sage Body Kekkeigenkai from Otsutsuki Hamura!
[Sensing numerous current attempts to confront the protagonist, with decently powerful yet similar targets: Host bound special confrontation target: Konoha's Hyuga clan!]
[From confronting Konoha's Hyuga clan: You have obtained a special talent—King of Byakugan!]
[King of Byakugan]: The purity of your Byakugan has reached the pinnacle that the Hyuga clan's bloodline can achieve.
[Detected the presence of similar or complimentary special talents, meeting the standards for fusion——]
[Currently fusible——Hamura's Astonishment, King of Byakugan]
[Proceed with fusion? Fusion!]
[You have obtained the Tenseigan!]
Aomi slowly savored the power surging within his body…
Only when the Hyuga Branch Family personally kills those old Main Family, can they truly unlock the cage in their hearts!
Merely removing the Caged Bird seal on their foreheads is insufficient; what truly matters is using the blood of sin to unlock the Caged Bird within…
When their emotions, stirred by newfound freedom, gathered, it was as if the Hyuga Branch Family had merged their Byakugan and offered it to Aomi…
Aomi gained the power from the emotional turmoil within the entire Hyuga clan's spirit, be it the reverence of the Branch Family or the awe of the Main Family…
Everyone's emotions differ, yet the power contained within remains constant.
In addition, Otsutsuki Hamura, watching this upheaval from the sidelines, witnessed that Aomi's Will of Fire could calm the Hyuga Branch Family driven to a frenzy, graciously providing his ticket fee.
Thus…
Before the Rinnegan arrived, what came was the Tenseigan, from another bloodline!
"Aomi, I think I've finally grasped the trick to walking on water… To be honest, although mortals are born with scarce chakra making them weak, the techniques they've developed are quite helpful in combat…"
Kaguya, temporarily using Aomi's body, which is already on par if not exceeding Hamura, expressed heartfelt emotion like a diligent student from a Ninja Academy, with a genuine smile on her face, exuding a beauty untouched by knowledge.
Kaguya was genuinely excited about learning chakra control…
She could clearly feel that if she absorbed all that Aomi explained, her inherent power would undoubtedly multiply in force.
Even now, with just a mere semblance of understanding, Kaguya believed that if she traveled back to her battle with the two rebellious sons, she might not have won but wouldn't have been outsmarted and sealed due to reckless fighting...
Moreover, Aomi promised Kaguya to teach her more advanced combat techniques.
From probing, concealing motives, observing the enemy's psyche, to laying the groundwork for future explosions and revealing the essence and mysteries of various Taijutsu, Aomi meticulously explained everything to Kaguya.
Kaguya listened intently, as the Branch Family was naturally uncertain about combat. When she encountered the gentle teacher-like image of Aomi and tasted the fruitful rewards of her first training, she was unable to extricate herself from the immersion.
So… is combat this simple?
In this state of mind, Kaguya developed a dependency on Aomi, feeling as if any issue she encountered would surely be resolved with Aomi's gentle guidance.
Yet she forgot one principle.
"When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you"…
The soul engraving from Aomi was slowly corroding Kaguya's entire consciousness, waiting to leave an indelible mark the moment her mind was utterly shaken…
The sword that kills need not be sharp or cutting; it might be subtle and unnoticeable.
"It certainly helps you a lot, Kaguya…"
"We should still have time, Isshiki, Hamura, and Hagoromo have not taken action, and as we are hidden while they are about to make their move openly, rest assured and learn, I'll teach you all that I know…"
Aomi experienced the power brought by the Tenseigan, but his expression remained indifferent as if nothing had occurred, yet the brilliant light of the Tenseigan shone exuberantly.
Kaguya warmed at heart, turned with a beaming smile to ask Aomi further questions, but was captivated by Aomi's dazzling eyes, exclaiming:
"Tenseigan! Aomi, how do you have the Tenseigan…"
"Hmm? These eyes are called Tenseigan?"
Aomi blinked blankly: "Awakening these eyes might be because I grew up? You know, my Dojutsu replicates others' Kekkeigenkai, but it takes time for these powers to mature…"
"I replicated the Hyuga clan's Byakugan and Sage Body long ago, perhaps the seed planted back then has finally borne fruit after over a decade?"
Aomi chuckled softly again, playfully bantered with Kaguya:
"Bore fruit… My Dojutsu, this sounds quite like the Otsutsuki Clan planting the Divine Tree in the Ninja World, doesn't it? Kaguya, do you think I was born with the talent for tree planting too?"
Kaguya firmly nodded and said: "Aomi… you… you seem like you were born an Otsutsuki!"
Is the Tenseigan shocking to Kaguya?
From a standpoint of power, it wasn't, as she had consumed the Chakra Fruit and awakened the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.
