Outside...
After Hyuga Sho withdrew behind the scenes.
The fabricated personality's body surface wriggled for a moment before once again transforming into the appearance of Sharp Eye Piercing Yang · Shou Yunxiao.
Shikotsumyaku could fabricate bones and flesh.
The Vanishing Facial Copy Technique could fabricate skin and clothing.
By combining the two techniques, along with Stealth Jutsu and Star Point's assistance,
he could completely disguise himself as another person!!
Shou Yunxiao was part of Hyuga Sho's consciousness.
Yet he was also completely different from Hyuga Sho.
Just as... the Nine Great Tailed Beasts were part of a certain existence, yet were not entirely the same as it.
Shou Yunxiao was Hyuga Sho's first attempt.
The focus was not strength.
It was the establishment, shaping, and insight of a personality.
Hyuga Sho would observe the personality of Shou Yunxiao and see what choices he made and what path he took.
In other words... himself starting from a different point.

Hyuga Sho had withdrawn the vast majority of his power.
Shou Yunxiao only had the strength of an Academy Student.
His flesh and bones had all been reshaped by Hyuga Sho, like those of a newborn baby.
Whether Shou Yunxiao was injured or lost his life, it would have no effect whatsoever on Hyuga Sho.
On the contrary.
Shou Yunxiao's death would allow Hyuga Sho to absorb his experience, just like after a Shadow Clone was dispelled, making the original body stronger.
Shou Yunxiao's setup
was that of a hypocrite who appeared righteous and honorable on the surface but was actually selfish and self-serving inside.
He saved Inari not because he could not bear to see Inari die.
But because...
it could serve as a suitable entry point.
He could blend into this small town.
Inari would spread word of
