Shinji examined the corpse of the Otsutsuki Branch Elder.
The corpse's skin was unnaturally pale because the mysterious man had long since devoured all the flesh, organs, and everything else inside it.
To be precise, only an empty shell remained.
Of course, this made no difference to Shinji. He wasn't interested in the corpse itself, but in the pair of Otsutsuki Clan Byakugan in its eye sockets.
Perhaps because of the corpse's age, the Otsutsuki Branch Elder's Byakugan had lost some of their vitality and looked mottled.
Even so, their value was beyond measure.
First, they were pure-blooded Otsutsuki Clan Byakugan, far purer than those of the Hyuga Clan. Second, they hadn't been marked with the Caged Bird, so they could be freely removed and transplanted.
Skillfully removing the Byakugan from the Otsutsuki Branch Elder's corpse, Shinji placed them in a small nutrient tank.
Holding up the tank, he gazed through the glass at the Byakugan floating inside. After weighing his options for a long while, he shook his head and sighed.
These Byakugan's Dojutsu should be powerful. After all, their owner had been an Elder of the Otsutsuki Branch Family.
But the Otsutsuki Branch Elder had been so old that, over the long years, his Dojutsu and vitality had greatly diminished.
So these Byakugan alone clearly weren't enough to support Shinji's bold idea.
"Since I've decided to take a gamble, I'll have to raise the stakes!" After a pause, Shinji thought, If this works, my Tenseigan plan should be all but certain. But if it fails...
Shinji didn't finish the thought.
With the Bio-Exoskeleton already out of control, he had no other choice. He could only go all in and stake everything on this!
Once he'd made up his mind, he carried the nutrient tank to the enormous testing
