Hyuga Rin gently touched the two small horns protruding from Hyuga Kagami's head and carefully asked, "Do they hurt?"
"Of course not!"
Hyuga Kagami shook his head with a smile.
Hyuga Rin boldly gave them another squeeze, her face full of curiosity. "Why did you grow horns?"
"That's complicated to explain..." After a pause, Hyuga Kagami said, "Simply put, the bloodline power hidden in my genetic sequence was completely awakened when I attained Kekkei Mōra, which is why I grew this pair of little horns."
Horns growing from one's forehead were a prominent trait of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, as well as Madara Uchiha and Obito, who had become Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, all possessed this trait without exception.
By comparison, the horns on Hyuga Kagami's forehead were already quite small.
It was not that he was weaker than the other Ōtsutsuki. Rather, he had gained his power through orthodox chakra nature fusion, without relying on external forces such as Chakra Fruits or the Ten-Tails. He also depended less on his bloodline, so his prominent traits were nowhere near as obvious as Madara Uchiha's and Obito's in their Ten-Tails Jinchuriki states.
Other than the two small horns on his forehead, there was no obvious alteration to his appearance, skin color, or anything else.
"They're so cute!"
Hyuga Rin foolishly beamed as she stroked the little horns on Hyuga Kagami's head.
Seeing the sparkle in Hyuga Rin's eyes, Hyuga Kagami was speechless. "I'm not some little pet. Don't stare at me like that!"
Hyuga Rin suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that the Sage of Six Paths also had two small horns on his head. Is that a Sage's trait?"
Hyuga Kagami answered casually, "More or less, though there are exceptions."
If someone could grow horns
