The Legend of the Eighteenth Tailed Beast in Naruto

But Hinata's bloodline was separated from Otsutsuki Kaguya by an unknown number of generations, so she couldn't possibly possess the same bloodline as Otsutsuki Kaguya all at once.

This requires a process.

And over these three years, the highly corrosive bloodline from Otsutsuki Kaguya has been trying to devour the Hyper-mutation Factor that constitutes Hinata's Immortal Body at all times.

But no matter how strong the Divine Tree's corrosiveness is, can it be stronger than the corrosiveness of Calamity Beast Genes?

Now, Hinata's body has become a battlefield.

The Divine Tree Factor and the Hyper-mutation Factor are constantly devouring each other, each trying to devour the other to strengthen itself.

Originally, the Divine Tree Factor had just awakened and had not yet gained a firm foothold in Hinata's body, but the Hyper-mutation Factor was the same, having just awakened its Immortal Body.

They were evenly matched for the time being, but after Hinata put her Immortal Body into the AFK Slot on the System Panel.

The Divine Tree Factor began to retreat steadily on this battlefield within Hinata's body.

If Hinata hadn't kept her Byakugan in the AFK Slot and hadn't provided some nutrients to the Divine Tree Factor while strengthening the Byakugan.

The Divine Tree Factor would have been devoured long ago.

But Hinata couldn't bear to part with the Byakugan, such a useful ability, so she kept it on the System Panel.

Over the past three years, Hinata's Byakugan has seen things more clearly and further, and her dynamic vision, X-ray vision, and insight have become even more powerful. And then... there was no then.

Hinata thought she would awaken the Tenseigan, but the reality proved she was overthinking it.

The Byakugan was still the same Byakugan, but its enhancement could be described as reaching a crazy level.

Firstly, her eyesight had reached the point where she could see any target within a thousand kilometers without regard for distance obstacles, with unparalleled clarity.

She had truly reached the level of clairvoyance.

Hinata guessed that the reason she hadn't awakened the Tenseigan or Jōgan was that when the Byakugan reached Level 10, it would awaken an eye unique to her.

Now, the Immortal Body is close to Level 2. When the Immortal Body completely reaches Level 2, it will be able to completely devour all the Divine Tree Factors within Hinata's body.

To undergo a complete metamorphosis!

This metamorphosis might even involve the Byakugan transforming as well, becoming an eye unique to her!

Although all of this seemed good, it was only because Hinata had the Immortal Body as a safety net.

If someone else were left to the ravages of the Divine Tree Factors equivalent to those within Hinata's body, they would likely become another Divine Tree.

And then give rise to the son of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the Sage of Six Paths.

And then he, having become the Divine Tree, would be split into nine, becoming the Nine Tailed Beasts.

At that point, the title of this book would probably be changed to Naruto: Legend of the Eighteen Tailed Beasts...

Hinata looked at the "+1 Experience" that popped up on the System Panel every so often, eagerly anticipating the changes when the Immortal Body reached Level 2.

"Hinata, it's time to eat."

"I know, Mother."

Looking up, she saw that it was indeed time for lunch.

Returning indoors, Hinata's parents were already sitting at the table waiting for her.

"Hinata, tomorrow is your birthday, aren't you happy?"

Hinata's mother looked at her with doting affection.

Who could resist such a cute Hinata?

"...It's okay."

Hyuga Hiashi frowned. His daughter was good in every way, except that she was too precocious.

The two horns on Hinata's forehead lingered for a moment. "Let's eat."

If he hadn't been absolutely certain it was impossible, he would have suspected his wife of cheating on him.

But this thought only crossed his mind; Hinata's mother had always stayed within the clan grounds, and he had barely left them either, so such a thing was simply impossible.

It must be mentioned here that the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan could be described as the ultimate recluses.

To protect the Byakugan, members of the Main Family rarely left Konohagakure. Some never even left the clan compound in their entire lives.

And after Hyuga Hiashi became the Patriarch upon reaching adulthood, he never took a single step outside the clan compound.

He didn't find it boring...

As for why Hinata had horns on her forehead, Hiashi guessed that perhaps his Hyuga Clan had intermarried with a certain clan from Kumogakure in the past.

That's right, he was referring to the clan that produced the Gold and Silver Brothers.

After all, when people thought of those with horns, they were the first ones that came to mind.

Their actions were so significant that both the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage fell at their hands.

However, their horns grew on the sides of their heads, more like bull horns, while Hinata's horns grew on her forehead.

The Third Hokage was aware of Hinata's horns and also thought of the Gold and Silver Brothers who had killed his teacher, but he also knew that there was no connection between the Hyuga Clan and the Gold and Silver Brothers, so he didn't say anything.

However, Danzō of Root, who looked at everyone as if they owed him two million, had a strong opinion of Hinata.

But if he provoked both of Konoha's great Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai clans, he wouldn't have an easy time either.

So he could only secretly decide to make things difficult for Hinata in the future.

Hinata didn't pay much attention to her birthday; it was just a birthday.

But the Hyuga Clan didn't think so. Shouldn't the birthday of the Hyuga Clan's Young Miss be celebrated grandly?

To celebrate Hinata's third birthday, the Hyuga Clan didn't even show up when Kumogakure came to sign the ceasefire agreement.

"Is it tomorrow..."

Although Hinata didn't remember when Kumogakure wanted to kidnap her.

She still remembered that Kumogakure took the opportunity of signing the ceasefire agreement to sneak into the clan compound and kidnap her.

She never expected it to coincide with her birthday.

"Tomorrow, I'll let the people of Kumogakure take a stroll around Konoha."

Although she seemed indifferent to her birthday, it was only celebrated once a year, and she didn't want it to be disturbed like this.

The next day, the Hyuga Clan Compound appeared exceptionally festive.

And the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been waiting at the gates of Konoha since early morning, also had a smile on his face.

As long as the agreement with Kumogakure was signed, the war would officially end.

Konoha would have a chance to breathe, and during this time, they must quickly cultivate the next generation of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have to wait long before Kumogakure's Peace Envoy arrived in Konoha.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to sign the ceasefire agreement as soon as possible, the signing of the ceasefire agreement was naturally not that simple.

There were a lot of things to deal with from all sides, especially regarding war reparations. Both Konoha and Kumogakure were doing their best to fight for their own interests, and they bickered for a whole day.

The sun set, and the moon rose.

Hyuga Clan Compound.

Since it was to celebrate Young Miss Hyuga's birthday, a banquet would naturally be held.

As a renowned prominent noble family in the Shinobi World, various prominent families in Konoha attended this banquet, and even the Hokage-sama came to offer his congratulations.

The banquet began in the evening and lasted for a long time.

Meanwhile, on Kumogakure's side, no one noticed that someone from Kumogakure's Peace Envoy was secretly leaving.

In this darkness, he couldn't possibly find a place to relieve himself, could he?

His target was the Hyuga Clan's Young Miss, Hyuga Hinata.

But he would never have imagined what he would encounter tonight.
