Background / History

Makoto is a transmigrator who arrived in the ninja world thirteen years before the events of his introduction. He is one year older than Uchiha Itachi and was born into the Hyuga Branch Family. After his parents, who served under Hizashi Hyuga, died in battle, he lived in Hizashi’s home for several years. Hizashi’s death and the Branch Family’s Caged Bird seal left a lasting impression on him. 2

At age thirteen, Makoto applies directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi to join the ANBU. He presents the request as a way to fulfill Hizashi’s wish of changing both the Hyuga Clan and Konoha; Hiruzen ultimately approves the application after political discussions with the village leadership and Hyuga Hiashi. 1 3 5

Before beginning ANBU service, Makoto activates the Moon Ōtsutsuki Template obtained through his system. The reward transforms his Hyuga bloodline into a developing Moon Ōtsutsuki bloodline and evolves his Byakugan into a pale-gold Tenseigan. 2 3

Appearance

Makoto initially resembles a typical young Hyuga, but his Ōtsutsuki development increasingly changes his appearance. By the time he absorbs White Zetsu’s Yang Release, he has white hair and fairer skin; later Tailed Beast chakra absorption makes him appear even whiter. 79 104

• Pale-gold Tenseigan rather than the usual azure coloration associated with Toneri’s Tenseigan. 3
• White hair resulting from a large infusion of White Zetsu’s Yang Release. 79
• Uses a hawk-faced mask as part of his ANBU equipment. 7

Personality

Makoto is outwardly sunny, cheerful, and sociable. He befriends many peers, including Naruto and the future Konoha 11, and repeatedly assists Hinata when she is in trouble. 1 2

He is also calculating and pragmatic. Makoto uses foreknowledge as a transmigrator, pursues system rewards aggressively, seeks Orochimaru’s research for its practical value, and frequently looks for bounties or intelligence that can finance his ambitions. 2 17 60 87

Despite this opportunism, he places great value on comrades. He refuses Orochimaru’s recruitment, fights to protect Kakashi and Tenzo, and states that he will not abandon his companions even when doing so conflicts with his assigned mission. 14 16

• Demonstrates mastery of the Yin Seal, surprising Hiruzen. 43
• Uses the Yin Seal to support his work with the Caged Bird seal. 59
• Can create seals with unusual ease, though he conceals this from Hyuga Hiashi to preserve the appearance that the process is difficult. 94

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hawk-faced ANBU mask and standard ANBU attire. 7
• Moon Ōtsutsuki Template, the system reward that initiated his bloodline and dōjutsu evolution. 2 3

Story Role / Major Arcs

ANBU Recruitment and First Mission

Makoto joins the ANBU as a Branch Family Hyuga, passes a combat assessment against ANBU operatives, and is assigned to Kakashi and Tenzo’s team. Their first mission investigates an abandoned Orochimaru laboratory in the Land of Whirlpools and supports Konoha forces against Kirigakure. 5 7

During this operation, Makoto captures Ao, confronts Shinno, and refuses to retreat when Orochimaru threatens his teammates. He uses the encounter to obtain information on Shinno’s secret technique while rejecting Orochimaru’s offer. 11 14 16

Hyuga Reform

Makoto trains Hinata and Neji in less predictable Gentle Fist methods while steadily gaining prestige within the Branch Family. 19 20 23

He later works on the Caged Bird seal, prompting Hyuga Hiashi to acknowledge both Makoto’s actions and the need for the clan to change. Hiashi selects capable and loyal Branch Family members to serve under Makoto’s ANBU command. 59 79

Conflict with Akatsuki and Obito

Makoto repeatedly clashes with Orochimaru, Sasori, Uchiha Itachi, and Obito while operating through Core. He overwhelms Orochimaru and Sasori in a forest confrontation and later fights Itachi and Jūzō alongside Shisui, forcing Obito to intervene with Kamui. 33 86

After recognizing Obito, Makoto sells Obito’s portrait and identity intelligence to Konoha for 80 million ryō. 87

Kirigakure Investigation

Makoto joins Jiraiya and Kakashi in investigating Obito’s influence over Kirigakure. After mastering Flying Thunder God, he confronts Kisame, using overwhelming speed and pointed questions about Kisame’s loyalties to destabilize him psychologically. 96 98

Ten-Tails’ Shell and Uchiha Squad

Following the Hyuga Clan’s liberation, Makoto receives and merges with the Ten-Tails’ shell, accelerating his Tenseigan and Yin–Yang Release development. 94

Kakashi subsequently brings Uchiha Izumi and Sasuke into Makoto’s ANBU squad, positioning Makoto as a bridge between Konoha and the Uchiha. 104
