Faced with Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's complaints, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could not help agreeing. "It is indeed very unusual!"
Under normal circumstances, bloodline descendants mixed with natives would be far weaker than pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki.
For the Ninja World to produce bloodline descendants such as Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, Obito, Madara Uchiha, and Hyuga Kagami—"Six Paths-level," even "Kekkei Mōra-level"—one after another within merely one or two thousand years was extraordinarily unlikely.
Especially bloodline descendants like Hyuga Kagami, who gave even pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki like them an immense headache—in Isshiki's memories, such a case had never appeared before!
Thus, Isshiki's confusion was no less than Urashiki's.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, lying in a pool of blood, barely sat up. As he recovered from his injuries, he asked, "Right, what was with those eyes of his? Why could his eye technique suppress my chakra?"
When Urashiki brought up the Tenseigan, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki rubbed his temples with a headache. "That is called the Tenseigan. Like the Jōgan, it is a special mutation of our clan's Byakugan."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki froze. "The Tenseigan?!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki explained, "Yes. This eye technique provides a very significant boost in combat strength. In the hands of someone unskilled in battle, it might not pose much of a threat. But in the hands of a combat genius like Hyuga Kagami, its power even surpasses the second-stage bursts of most pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki!"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki curled his lip. "No wonder he was so strong..."
Glancing at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's still-bleeding wounds, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned. "However, I had never heard that the Tenseigan's eye techniques could suppress our chakra-based healing."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's eyes widened. "Then why can't I heal my wounds?"
Looking away, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki said, "My understanding of the Tenseigan is not comprehensive. Perhaps this is one of its abilities as well. In any case, we must be especially cautious
