At that thought, Shinji's mind wandered even further.
If the Sage's Eyes represented by the Uchiha Clan combined with the Sage Body represented by the Senju Clan or the Uzumaki Clan, and ultimately led to the Rinnegan—
then it was certainly worth pondering what the Sage's Eyes represented by the Hyuga Clan and the Sage Body represented by the Kaguya Clan would lead to.
In theory,
this method of tracing one's bloodline back to its source would usually result in the power of one's bloodline ancestor. In other words, it would grant the power of the common ancestor of the Hyuga Clan and the Kaguya Clan: Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
But Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes were the Byakugan!
Their purity had surely far exceeded that of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, but the Byakugan was still the Byakugan!
By contrast,
among Hagoromo Otsutsuki's descendants on the moon, a mutation had produced a new ocular Kekkei Genkai that surpassed the Byakugan: the Tenseigan.
So, when the Sage's Eyes of the Hyuga Clan combined with the Sage Body of the Kaguya Clan, would the result be a perfectly pure Byakugan, or an entirely new ocular Kekkei Genkai—the Tenseigan?
At present, probably no one could say for sure.
How about giving it a try?
A thought suddenly occurred to Shinji.
He could transplant Kimimaro's cells into Neji and see what kind of fruit the fusion of these two great clans' bloodlines would bear!
While Shinji was lost in thought, all the classes finished their final exams.
Next came the contests between classes.
With class honors on the line, the atmosphere on the field grew even more heated than before.
Shinji's class had drawn another class from the same year in the first round. Thanks to Shinji's and Neji's teams, they won easily.
Then, in the second round,
