On the obelisk, extremely luxurious personal information refreshed like a waterfall.

[Evolver: Kazama Kaguya]

[Chakra Quantity: 30 Cards]

[Chakra Nature: Water, Lightning, Yang, Yin]

[Bloodline: Pure-blooded Otsutsuki · Young Form]

[Bloodline Awakening Skills: All-Killing Ash Bones, Karma Seed]

[Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan]

[Evolution Equation: Shikotsumyaku + Byakugan = Pure-blooded Otsutsuki] (Equation running, already evolved to Pure-blooded Otsutsuki · Young Form. Can continue to deduce and evolve.)

[Status: Healthy, Transcended Human Species]

[Equation List 1: Water + Lightning = Storm Release? (Charging 8%)]

[Equation List 2: Water + Yang = ? Lightning + Yang = ?] (Charging 0%)

"Otsutsuki · Young Form? It's exactly the same description as the knowledge passed down in the [Karma Seed],"

Looking at the information listed on the obelisk, Kazama Kaguya was not surprised at all.

However, the fact that only "Yin" was added to his chakra natures was a bit surprising to Kazama Kaguya.

"Shouldn't Otsutsuki be all-natured? Why do I only have Water, Lightning, Yang, and Yin? Is it because I'm in my Young Form?"

He carefully pondered the original work and found that it didn't explicitly state what natures Otsutsuki should have.

The Otsutsuki Clan doesn't even have the concept of "Ninjutsu," nor concepts like "Kekkei Genkai" or "Kekkei Tōta."

The skills they use seem to be born spontaneously after reaching a certain level of evolution.

The only thing known is that when a pure-blooded Otsutsuki consumes a Chakra Fruit, they awaken the Rinne Sharingan, ascend directly to the heavens, and possess the Kekkei Mōra, which is a fusion of seven natures.

This is most evident in Kaguya.

As for others, Isshiki, who doesn't have the Rinne Sharingan, relies entirely on Taijutsu, Karma, Yin-Yang Release constructs like the Black Rod, and most importantly, the Black Eye as a fallback during combat. He has never used anything like Ninjutsu, nor skills possessed by the Kekkei Mōra.

"So, at least we can conclude that Otsutsuki are not all-natured before consuming a Chakra Fruit. Otherwise, if Isshiki had Kaguya's abilities, he would have been unstoppable long ago."

Kazama Kaguya deduced some hidden truths about the Otsutsuki himself, but more information was still hidden within the knowledge from the [Karma Seed].

The inherited knowledge he obtained was not extensive, merely a simple record of the Otsutsuki Clan's origins and some common knowledge about bloodline evolution, much of which was incomplete.

According to the incomplete records, the Otsutsuki Clan originated from the supreme Otsutsuki God, Otsutsuki Shibai.

He was a miracle born from the universe, the first Otsutsuki to be born in the cosmos.

All subsequent pure-blooded Otsutsuki were almost all born from Shibai through asexual reproduction.

Shibai is the source of the bloodline and has long transcended the current universal dimensions.

He gave birth to the Otsutsuki Clan, bestowed the path of evolution, and divided the evolutionary process into five stages.

They are: Young Form, Mature Form, Evolved Form, Super Evolved Form, and God.

Except for the Young Form, each stage of clan members has distinct characteristics and exclusive, unique bloodline awakening skills.

Currently, Kazama Kaguya, according to this classification, falls precisely into the Young Form stage, equivalent to a newborn child who has not yet embarked on the path of evolution.

"Young Form, Mature Form, Evolved Form, Super Evolved Form, God."

Kazama Kaguya pondered the obelisk and the inherited knowledge, falling into deep thought.

The [Karma Seed] is undoubtedly the primitive form of [Karma], requiring further evolution and growth to utilize the power of reincarnation.

The Otsutsuki Clan has five evolutionary stages. If his understanding is correct, the [Karma Seed] is a foundational skill for all Young Forms, like a seed. What kind of flower it will bloom into depends on individual destiny.

Only when a Young Form evolves into a Mature Form can one's exclusive evolved awakening skill be born.

Kazama Kaguya has reason to suspect that "All-Killing Ash Bones" is most likely Kaguya's unique awakening skill.

The fact that he could obtain this ability was entirely due to possessing Kaguya's bloodline, coupled with the cheat of the Evolution Equation.

"So, it's impossible for me to obtain Kaguya's other abilities."

After reading the information, Kazama Kaguya understood one thing.

That is, he is now a newborn, independent Otsutsuki, possessing his own unique evolutionary path.

In addition to basic abilities, any future abilities he develops will inevitably be completely different from other Otsutsuki.

"Indeed, looking at Shippuden and Boruto, every Otsutsuki who appeared was unique, and the skills they used were all different."

Although he couldn't obtain powerful abilities like Amenominaka or Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, getting "All-Killing Ash Bones," a sure-kill move, for free still put him in a good mood.

However, there are many omissions in this knowledge inheritance.

Especially regarding the last three stages, Evolved Form, Super Evolved Form, and God, there is absolutely no information about these aspects.

Kazama Kaguya suspects that the omission of this important information is most likely because his own birth is a miracle shaped by the golden finger, not a direct offspring of Otsutsuki Shibai.

Whether it's the Shikotsumyaku or the Byakugan, they are Kekkei Genkai that Kaguya developed after a long period of generational inheritance.

As the number of inherited generations increases, the information imprinted in the bloodline is continuously lost, with only the most basic elements remaining.

Among them, information regarding the Young Form and Mature Form was recorded quite comprehensively.

The Otsutsuki Young Form has one and only one ability: [Karma Seed]. This is the foundation upon which the Otsutsuki Clan can continuously reincarnate and evolve.

The Young Form possesses all the basic abilities of the Otsutsuki bloodline, including flight, Byakugan, chakra, and extremely high adaptability such as underwater and space survival.

When the Young Form's [Karma Seed] absorbs sufficient cosmic energy, it can evolve into [Karma] and awaken exclusive skills, at which point it enters the Mature Form stage.

During this process, some Young Forms, due to absorbing extremely special cosmic energy, will cause their Byakugan to undergo extreme mutations, evolving into a higher-tier eye with more special abilities. Their combat power will also far surpass other members of the Otsutsuki Clan who are also in the Mature Form.

"So, Tenseigan, Black Eye, Jōgan, and the like are actually the results of extreme Byakugan evolution?" Kazama Kaguya couldn't help but think of those special eyes.

None of the eyes that resulted from extreme Byakugan evolution were weak; some abilities even far surpassed the Rinnegan.

The Tenseigan is the ultimate in numerical beauty, with its Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion capable of splitting the moon in half with a single blow.

The Black Eye is the ultimate in mechanical beauty, with Sukuna Hikona and Daikokuten even touching upon the rules.

The Jōgan is also not weak; it is the ultimate in support beauty, capable of seeing through the invisible barriers between dimensions.

Unfortunately, these things are still far from Kazama Kaguya at the moment. He hasn't even found the special cosmic energy, let alone evolved from the Young Form to the Mature Form.

As for the next step, how a Mature Form transforms into an Evolved Form, there was no description due to missing information.

However, Kazama Kaguya thought of a possibility: the God Tree Fruit.

The original work clearly stated that Otsutsuki Shibai evolved into a God and transcended universal dimensions after continuously consuming God Tree Fruits.

Kazama Kaguya had reason to believe that the evolution of the subsequent three stages was inevitably linked to the God Tree Fruit.

"The importance of the God Tree is self-evident. It seems I need to prepare early."

Kazama Kaguya stroked the small horn that had newly grown on his forehead and pondered, "The God Tree and the Ten-Tails are two sides of the same coin, one a plant and the other an animal. In the current Ninja World, besides Kaguya, there's still Isshiki. I remember he also has a Ten-Tails."

Otsutsuki Isshiki, Kaguya's former partner, was unfortunately betrayed by Kaguya.

He now only has half a body and is parasitic on Genjitsu, searching the entire Ninja World for suitable individuals to implant his [Karma] into.

"Perhaps I can cooperate with Isshiki, or steal his Ten-Tails..."

Kazama Kaguya pondered the feasibility of his plan but quickly dismissed it.

"No, the strength of Genjitsu, whom Isshiki is parasitic on, is not weak. Combined with the special abilities of the Black Eye, even a Six Paths level combatant could potentially flip the table."

With Kazama Kaguya's current strength, finding Isshiki posed a great risk.

Furthermore, Kazama Kaguya didn't know if his current Young Form state was a suitable candidate for implanting [Karma].

If the Young Form was the optimal vessel for [Karma], then approaching him would be akin to a sheep entering a tiger's den, with no chance of escape.

Even worse, if Isshiki went mad and used him to feed the Ten-Tails, forcibly starting the cultivation of the God Tree...

Thinking of such a scene made Kazama Kaguya's scalp tingle.

"No, no, I can't interact with Isshiki. I need to find another way to obtain the Ten-Tails and the God Tree."

Kazama Kaguya rejected his own plan and began brainstorming.

A flash of inspiration struck, and an idea emerged.
