First Fetal Movement

On the moon, beside the corpses of Artificial Sun Otsutsuki Miune and Otsutsuki Toneri, Yichen was speechless.

At the last moment, Otsutsuki Miune pulled Otsutsuki Toneri down with her and committed suicide together.

With Otsutsuki Miune and her son Otsutsuki Toneri dying together, the Tenseigan immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Then both the small golems and the Rock Golem lost their power.

The choice of Otsutsuki Miune was somewhat unexpected by Yichen.

This trip to the moon went much more smoothly than Yichen had imagined.

Although the existence of Otsutsuki Miune was somewhat unexpected by Yichen, much of the preparations he had made beforehand were unnecessary.

For example, Ōnoki, Roshi, Atsumi Akino, and Kawazoe Yura, who were guarding the other end of the Space-Time Tunnel, did not play much of a role.

For example, in this First Shinobi War, Yichen didn't even have to use his full strength before the battle ended.

Yichen and his companions only seemed somewhat flustered when they first started fighting the Puppet Army.

Although the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon possesses the Tenseigan, a supreme treasure, they lack practical combat experience.

Given the resources controlled by Otsutsuki Miune, if it were Shikaku Nara instead, Yichen doesn't think he could conquer the moon.

Even if it were just an average Elite Jonin in the Ninja World, it wouldn't have been so easy for Yichen.

Moreover, the thing that Yichen was most worried about, the thing that Sokai and Izumi Uchiha were ready to use Genjutsu to stop at any time, did not happen in the end.

This is about how Otsutsuki Miune chose to perish together with the enemy, such as by self- Tenseigan or destroying the moon. It seems that Otsutsuki Miune never had this idea from the beginning.

Looking at Otsutsuki Miune, who was only half a body left but was still holding onto Otsutsuki Toneri, Yichen guessed that the only thing Otsutsuki Miune cared about before she died was her son.

He probably doesn't care about things like mutual destruction or world annihilation.

"Chiga, are both of them dead?" Yichen asked.

Chiga nodded and said, "Teacher Yichen, yes, the two of them have disappeared from my Blood Sense space."

"He's a good person!" Yichen sighed. "If there was anything wrong, he could have just told me properly earlier."

"Use the Tenseigan to threaten me and make me swear to spare your son. I'll still agree to that request."

"If I could change your son's mind, I wouldn't have trouble transplanting a pair of Byakugan into him."

"There's a Hyuga Branch Family in the village who's in a vegetative state. If all else fails, I'll go to Konoha and find the Hyuga Main Family, and dig out a pair for him."

Yichen sighed for a while, then turned around and found that everyone except Sokai was looking at him with strange eyes.

Yichen rolled his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

Chiga took a small step Izumi Uchiha and whispered, "Teacher Yichen, you've been ordering us to kill anyone we see from the very beginning."

"When we entered this artificial sun, we used the Tailed Beast Bomb to clear the way. Who would believe you would negotiate?"

Han, Izumi Uchiha, and Neji all nodded, agreeing with Chiga's assessment.

Yichen looked at the cautious Chiga, neither angry nor joking with her.

Yichen said seriously, "Chiga, you must understand that in the Ninja World, any peace talks are based on equal military strength."

"We've won now, so you think he should negotiate with us because it would be in his best interest. I didn't give him that chance."

"But have you considered this: if we don't defeat him, will he really be willing to negotiate with us?"

"Would he think that our proposed peace talks were a plea for his forgiveness?"

"Perhaps this guy is very confident in his Tenseigan and thinks we're no match for him."

Chiga's mouth opened slightly, and she began to understand what Yichen meant. She thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Yichen, so you mean he should fight us?"

"Should we wait until both sides have demonstrated their strength before sitting down to discuss terms?"

Yichen nodded and said, "Of course, that's the law of survival in the Ninja World."

"I just fought Orochimaru a few days ago. He resurrected six Kage Level Impure World Reincarnation using Edo Tensei, thinking he could overpower me."

"But he didn't directly turn against me at the time. Instead, he challenged me under the guise of a friendly sparring match."

"After that, although we were very polite in our words, we showed no mercy when it came to our actions."

"If he died in that First Shinobi War, he died; if I died, it would be the same—a wasted life."

"Previously, I had always maintained firm control over the transactions between us because I was consistently the winning party."

"If he wins this First Shinobi War but can't kill me, then every time we meet again, I'll have to be subservient to him."

"Whether it's cooperating to share the benefits or confronting each other to seize the other's interests, he can always take the initiative."

They all nodded as if they understood.

After a while, Chiga asked curiously, "Then Teacher Yichen, who won between you two in the end?"

Yichen said, "I won!"

Chiga smiled, then asked, "Teacher Yichen, if you lose, will you really make concessions when fighting for interests in the future?"

Qianhe had some doubts about Yichen's character.

Yichen bypassed Izumi Uchiha and walked straight to Chiga, giving her a flick on the forehead and saying, "How dare you doubt your teacher's character? Of course I'll keep my word."

"However, next time it's time to distribute the spoils, I'll bring the other ten Kage Level from the village and have another fight with Orochimaru!"

After hearing what had happened, Chiga was still rubbing her forehead, wondering if Teacher Yichen had changed his mind?

But when she heard the second half of the sentence, she almost bit her tongue. Teacher Yichen was still Teacher Yichen, he hadn't changed at all, he would always be the Fox of Stone.

I was just too young.

Yichen collected the corpses of Otsutsuki Miune and Otsutsuki Toneri on his own, then said to the others, "Let's go find the Tenseigan."

Yichen was the first to step onto the Porcelain Platform, and then said to the few people who hadn't yet recovered from his words, "What are you all standing there for? Come on up."

Han, Chiga, Izumi Uchiha, Neji all felt extremely embarrassed. None of them dared to meet Yichen's gaze, and they walked onto the Porcelain Platform with their heads slightly lowered.

Only Sokai, who had been listening in a daze the whole time, looked around strangely, making them even more embarrassed.

Finally, after being pinched hard by Izumi Uchiha, he withdrew his curious gaze.

With his hands in his pockets, Yichen controlled the Porcelain Platform to fly rapidly towards the star where the Giant Tenseigan was located, appearing calm and unconcerned about worldly opinions.

As long as I don't feel embarrassed, it's others who feel embarrassed.

Before long, the group arrived at the small planet where the Tenseigan was located. After entering the planet, they passed through a long and dark passage.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, Yichen and his group finally arrived in front of the Giant Tenseigan.

The Giant Tenseigan at this time looked exactly the same as the stone-shaped Giant Tenseigan that Yichen had seen in the illusion.

However, this Giant Tenseigan is not emitting any Chakra fluctuations, clearly indicating that it has fallen into a complete slumber.

Looking at the Giant Tenseigan, which was many times larger than a person, Neji said, "Teacher Yichen, this Giant Tenseigan seems to be many times larger than the one I saw in the illusion."

Yichen nodded and said, "The Giant Tenseigan is composed of your Byakugan."

"The scene we witnessed in the illusion happened a long time ago."

"Since then, the Tenseigan must have merged with many more Byakugan, so it's much larger than before."

Neji was taken aback and stammered, "Byakugan? This Giant Tenseigan is formed by the fusion of countless Byakugan?"

As he spoke, he involuntarily took a step back.

Neji originally obtained the method to Tenseigan from Hamura Otsutsuki in the illusion, and thought that this Giant Tenseigan had always existed.

He came excitedly and full of anticipation to see the Giant Tenseigan, but after hearing that this Giant Tenseigan was an evil eye that had fused with countless Byakugan, he hesitated.

Yichen said calmly, "This can be considered the price of power. Your relatives from the Otsutsuki Clan, while born with the Byakugan bloodline limit, are also paying the price for Byakugan."

"Don't find it strange. If there's anything you can't figure out, you can ask Sokai and Quan Luo."

Neji subconsciously glanced at Sokai and Izumi Uchiha.

Sokai, I rubbed my head, not understanding what Yichen meant.

However, Izumi Uchiha said to Neji with a serious expression, "The village currently possesses countless Three-Tomoe Sharingan."

"In terms of quantity, it's naturally less than the Byakugan in this Giant Tenseigan, but considering how difficult it is for our Uchiha Clan to Awakening Eyes, and even more difficult to upgrade to the Three Tomoe..."

"Then our Uchiha Clan isn't much better than the Otsutsuki Clan."

Neji, and he still asked, "Does the village really have many Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

Izumi Uchiha nodded, her Giant Tenseigan, remaining silent for a long time.

Unlike Sokai, who was carefree, Izumi Uchiha was raised by the Uchiha Clan from a young age.

Having experienced the power of Sharingan, she also experienced its pain. When she learned that the Giant Tenseigan was composed of countless Byakugan, the shock she felt was no less than Neji's.

Yichen said, "I'm quite curious, how exactly did the ancestors of the Otsutsuki Clan manage to fuse so many Byakugan into one."

"If I could, I'd also like to create Giant Tenseigan, Sharingan version of it."

As he spoke, Yichen turned to look at Neji, Sokai, and Izumi Uchiha, and continued, "Under the guidance of Hamura Otsutsuki brother of the Sage of Six Paths, Neji mastered the method to evolve his Byakugan."

"If you use the same method, I wonder if you can make the Mangekyō Sharingan evolve again."

Uchiha Izumi Raku frowned and relaxed repeatedly after hearing Yi Chen's words.

Finally, Izumi Uchiha a deep breath and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, why don't we go and search in the castle ruins? Perhaps we can find information on fusing the Giant Tenseigan."

Yichen nodded; he thought so too, but he couldn't say it aloud.

Yichen first said to Neji, "Alright, Neji, put away your inappropriate emotions. Don't forget, you still have a Caged Bird on your forehead!"

Neji trembled upon hearing this; he had indeed hesitated for a moment. But how could he back down? He didn't even have his freedom; what right did he have to talk about morality?

All pity, charity, and forgiveness are things that only the victors can do for the losers.

He doesn't yet have the qualifications to face Neji.

Neji bowed to Yichen and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I have disappointed you. Please rest assured, I will not hesitate any longer."

Yichen nodded and said, "Go!"

"Hmm." Neji responded heavily, then leaped a few times and landed on top of the Giant Tenseigan.

Then Neji took out Kunai, cut his palm, and dripped his blood into the Giant Tenseigan.

Neji then closed his Giant Tenseigan using the method taught to him by Hamura Otsutsuki.

Seeing this, Yichen nodded, then turned to look at Izumi Uchiha and asked, "Quan Luo, are you really sure?"

Izumi Uchiha and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I want to revitalize the Uchiha Clan."

"I've witnessed the power of the Tenseigan. Once Neji Hyuga awakens the Tenseigan, our Uchiha Clan might be inferior to the Hyuga Clan."

"The Uchiha are the number one clan in the Ninja World, how can they lose to the Hyuga?"

"Although we don't need to fight for power and profit in the village, we should still fight for the honors that are due."

Yichen smiled and nodded, saying, "Quan Luo, why don't you become the Uchiha Clan leader? This guy really isn't suited to be the clan leader."

Yichen pointed to Sokai, who looked completely bewildered.

Izumi Uchiha chuckled, then said earnestly, "Lord Tsuchikage, I'm very happy that you don't mind that I've lived in Konoha since I was a child."

"But the other villagers are still closer to Sokai; Sokai has a much stronger bond with the village than I do."

"He is more suitable to be the head of the Uchiha Clan than I am."

"You will usher in a new era. This new era does not need a highly capable clan leader from the Uchiha. Sokai is the Uchiha Clan leader who is in line with this new era."

Yichen turned around, looked at Neji and the Giant Tenseigan, his back to Izumi Uchiha, and said, "Quan Luo, your eyes see very far!"

Beside them, Chiga and Han both wore thoughtful expressions.

As for Sokai, he was scratching his head in frustration. He clearly felt that Yichen and Izumi Uchiha talking about something related to him, but he couldn't understand anything. He was extremely upset!

After a while, Yichen said, "Go."

Izumi Uchiha replied, "Yes."

After saying that, she grabbed Sokai and walked out of the small planet.

Chiga looked at Yichen, then at Izumi Uchiha and the other two, and then Yichen said, "Teacher Yichen, should I go and help too?"

Yichen nodded without saying a word.

Seeing this, Chiga ran towards the two of them, saying, "Sister Izumi, Sokai, wait for me."

After the three left, Han took two steps closer to Yichen and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, Kokuō told me that the mother of the Sage of Six Paths is sealed inside the moon."

"Are we going to be alright staying here too long? Should we take the Giant Tenseigan back to the Ninja World and let Neji?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Kaguya Otsutsuki can't get out. Even if she did, the real danger isn't on the moon, but in the Ninja World."

Han didn't understand what Yichen meant, but he still nodded vigorously.

Hamura Otsutsuki only told Neji how to Tenseigan, and Yichen didn't know how long the process would take.

So he said to Han, "Han, go back and tell the three generations everything that has happened here, so that they can rest assured."

"By the way, don't mention anything about the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' brother; this is not something we at this level can discuss."

Han nodded and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned and left very decisively.

Yichen didn't leave. Who knows if Neji's awakening of the Tenseigan will lead to any accidents? After all, he's still stuck with the Caged Bird.

Yichen sat cross-legged in the passage, closed his eyes, and waited for Neji while continuing to recall the process of Hamura Otsutsuki teaching him Yin Release.

This time, Yichen was even more engrossed in reminiscing than the previous two times.

Yichen, without realizing it, began to emulate Hamura Otsutsuki and made some attempts at Yin Release techniques.

For example, even though he failed to create an item using Yin Release, Yichen felt he gained a lot from the process.

Yichen in a semi-conscious state until he heard the thumping of his heart, which brought him back to his senses.

Yichen glanced at Neji and knew that Neji had succeeded. This was an essential fetal movement process in the process of Tenseigan.

After thinking for a moment, Yichen closed his eyes again and focused his attention on Neji.

Yichen using Mind's Eye to sense the fetal movement, which resembled a heartbeat.

Although Yichen was just an observer, Yichen still vaguely sensed the changes that this process brought to Neji.

"Hmm? What a strange feeling," Yichen murmured to himself.

The Tenseigan is indeed a bloodline ability above the Kekkei Tōta. I didn't experience this strange change even when I fully fused with Light Release.

Using his Mind's Eye perception, Yichen carefully observed the slow changes in Neji's body.

However, the perception of the Mind's Eye is ultimately separated by a layer, making it difficult to see clearly.

Subconsciously, Yichen began to use the Yin Release transformations taught to him by Hamura Otsutsuki.

With a soft "plop," as if a layer of window paper had been pierced, the previously hazy scene suddenly became clear.

Yichen saw the changes happening to Neji's body at a very microscopic level.

Unwittingly, Yichen used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, and his soul entered Neji's body.

After a long while, Neji's first fetal movement ended, and Yichen, who had suddenly woken up, quickly returned to his own body.

Neji Awakening Eyes. He had been in a daze the whole time and had no idea what had happened.

Neji looked at Yichen was staring at him thoughtfully, and asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, did I succeed?"

At this moment, Neji's eyes were still normal Byakugan, and had not directly transformed into Tenseigan, but these Byakugan gave Yichen a feeling of even greater purity.

Yichen said, "Neji, you've succeeded. You just felt your first fetal movement."

"You have already embarked on the path of Tenseigan evolution, but it will take time to fully evolve into Tenseigan. You will likely experience several more fetal movements."

After a pause, Yichen said, "Feel it, is there any change in the Caged Bird?"

Upon hearing this, Neji quickly composed himself and closed his eyes.

Neji's Yin Release have also improved after spending some time with Katsuya and Natsuki.

With the help of the experimental data provided by Orochimaru, he has been able to observe Caged Bird to a certain extent.

After a while, Neji excitedly jumped up from his Tenseigan and Yichen said, "Lord Tsuchikage, the Caged Bird has loosened! I can feel the cage loosening!"

After saying this, Neji suddenly burst into tears.

And the more she cried, the louder she became, as if she were venting years of pent-up grievances.

Yichen didn't stop him, but waited quietly for Neji to come to his senses. After a long while, he smiled slightly and said, "Very good."

After regaining his senses, Neji quickly wiped away his tears, then bowed to Yichen and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I have disappointed you again."

Yichen shook his head and smiled, "No, you didn't disappoint me. On the contrary, I'm proud of you."

"Congratulations, Neji. From this day forward, you are a Quasi-Jonin."

"Moreover, after this fetal movement, your body has been improved in all aspects."

"It won't be long before your strength reaches the Jonin."

Neji was astonished when he heard this; was he really going to become Jonin?

Yichen didn't give him time to think and said, "Awaken the Tenseigan. You've already communicated with him. Let him remain in a half-asleep, half-awake state."

"This should also help you fight against Caged Bird."

Neji's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly sat down again to communicate with the Giant Tenseigan.

Yichen stood there with a smile, waiting quietly.

He was even happier than Neji; from this moment on, Neji's Caged Bird crisis was completely resolved.

Even though the Caged Bird is still affecting Neji, Yichen believes that after one or two more fetal movements, Neji will be able to ignore the Caged Bird even if he hasn't awakened the Tenseigan yet.

Moreover, Neji's Tenseigan is inevitable. Given enough time, Iwagakure will have another Kage Level.

But what pleased Yichen the most was not these things.

When Neji was in labor, Yichen's soul entered Neji's body through the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.

The fetal movement was elevating Neji's Life level; it was an all-encompassing elevation, including to his soul.

As for Yichen, he felt like he had hitched a ride on the wave. Yichen felt that after this pregnancy, his soul had become much more refined.

Although it is still in the third stage, it Earth Flow a steady step forward in the third stage.

Yichen wondered how many more Neji would experience fetal movement, and if he could hitch a ride every time he did.

Will my Yin Release, which haven't improved in a long time, finally see a qualitative leap?

It feels so good to get something for free!

It seems I am indeed connected to the Sage of Six Paths and the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki.

Yichen's Mind's Eye Sensory Ninjutsu was achieved by hitching a ride on the coattails of Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and others.

Each leap forward transformed an S-rank Ninjutsu into Super S-rank Ninjutsu.

Now that he could get something for free from Neji, Yichen was a little excited.

Therefore, the matter of fusing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan cannot be taken lightly.

If Izumi Uchiha Sokai, or if she experienced a miscarriage like Neji, wouldn't I be able to get it for free again?
