Nirvana: Let's Not Take the Land. Qingwu: It's All Ancestral Property, We Can't Waste It.

"Main Body, the passage to the moon has been found."

"Has it finally been found?" Qingwu muttered to himself. He had received a telepathic message from Nirvana; after extensive investigations by the Shadow Guard and a personal search by Nirvana, the ancestral land of the Hyuga had finally been located.

Whoosh~ Let's go... A black cube flickered beside him.

Qingwu stepped inside, and when he reappeared, he was already at the side of Nirvana in the Land of Sea.

Nirvana greeted him: "You've arrived, Main Body. The entrance is inside... follow me." He was very crisp and efficient.

Qingwu: "Good." There was no need for formalities between themselves.

He followed Nirvana.

"Sigh~ No matter how glorious a clan may be, before the long passage of time, it is not worth mentioning..."

Having weathered the vicissitudes of time, countless changes, wars, and geological shifts, the ancestral land of the Hyuga was no longer what it once was; it had become a complete ruin.

According to family records, when the Hyuga clan was still called the Otsutsuki, their ancestral land was located in the Land of Sea.

Later, due to ideological differences, the Otsutsuki remaining in the Ninja World split into two branches. One branch inherited the physique of Hamura and settled in the Land of Water; this was the Kaguya Clan.

The other branch inherited the eyes of Hamura and moved to the Land of Fire, changing their name to Hyuga. This lineage continued the traditions of the Otsutsuki, dividing themselves into the Main House and the Branch House.

However.

That was hundreds of years ago.

The clan land had changed again.

The Hyuga had been living in Konoha for several decades now.

Back to the matter at hand.

Lost in thought, Qingwu followed Nirvana until they stopped at a certain spot; it was a cave as tall as a man.

Qingwu looked at this dilapidated place and couldn't help but say: "Is this it? Nirvana, are you sure?"

Nirvana shrugged: "What do you think? We don't lie to ourselves. Are you really going, Main Body?"

"I'm afraid that at this early point in time, the Otsutsuki on the moon haven't started their civil war yet. If we get swarmed, we're done for~"

"How about we develop for a while longer?"

Qingwu shook his head and refused: "No, it's perfect to act now while the Otsutsuki Branch House on the moon hasn't gone insane and sacrificed the entire clan's Byakugan to create the Purple Tenseigan."

"The Yellow Giant Tenseigan can move the moon, so I suspect it's their last resort and shouldn't be moved lightly. As for the Otsutsuki themselves, they just have numbers; it doesn't matter, they're all fodder..."

Nirvana nodded: "That's true. With space teleportation, you'll never be at a disadvantage, not to mention that 'big shot' is following along."

"Trust me, it's a guaranteed win."

As they continued walking, the cave opened up after a short while, revealing a vast space.

"Is this the Light Spring mentioned in the movie?! It really can block sensory probes... but..."

Qingwu quickly discovered that there was indeed something wrong with this spring water, and then he grinned and activated his Small World...

"Mine, mine, it's all mine."

He even scraped up a meter of the soil from the spring bed and packed it away. Thus, Qingwu's Small World gained a deep pool that could block sensory probes while trapping people in a cage of memories.

Nirvana's mouth twitched: "Main Body, isn't that a bit much?" He could understand packing up the spring water, but taking the topsoil too?

That was just too...

Qingwu waved his hand: "You don't understand; if you don't manage a household, you don't know the price of firewood and rice. These are all good things; they shouldn't be wasted..."

Without the obstruction of the spring water.

The journey for the two Qingwus went smoothly.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~"

Giant crab guards launched an attack on him.

Qingwu moved with agility: "Hehe~ Can't hit me... just can't hit me... activate the ghost blade... footwork... footwork..."

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The giant crabs pursued relentlessly.

"Ahaha~ Come on... come and catch me... if you catch me... I'll let you hehehe..."

Qingwu was truly being a jerk.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~ Ptui..." The crabs grew anxious, lining up to combine their bubbles, which sprayed toward Qingwu in a dense barrage.

"Damn it~ You guys don't play fair. Time to go, time to go~"

Qingwu knew that the bubbles from these crabs had hallucinogenic effects, and he didn't want to test them.

Especially since they were spat out by crabs.

So dirty.

"Hehe~ Didn't expect that, did you? This young master feinted and came right back~" Teleporting, he placed his hand on the back of a crab.

Sealing Jutsu. Five Elements Mountain Seal.

Dense, flickering runes instantly enveloped the crabs, and then five illusory mountains representing wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth manifested.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The crabs were all crushed to the ground by the illusory mountains, struggling in vain and unable to move, lying there foaming at the mouth.

"Ptooey~ Ptooey~"

"Collect. Just right for the water pool." Qingwu waved his hand, continuing to pack everything up. Well, one shouldn't be wasteful.

These are all ancestral assets; it's not excessive for me to take them.

Heh~ I knew it.

Nirvana cast a look of disdain at Qingwu and really didn't say anything more. Sigh~ he must have been terrified of poverty in his past life, I understand.

We are the same person, what is there not to understand?

Anyway, it's not like he's the one doing the work.

But the main body is truly shameless~

Qingwu had no idea what Nirvana was thinking; if he did, he would definitely curse: "Nirvana, you bastard! You hid in the back while I was fighting monsters, and you're even bad-mouthing me in your head~"

Damn~ we are the same person.

Cursing him is the same as cursing myself...

What a loss.

"Tap, tap~ tap, tap~"

As they walked, Qingwu suddenly stopped and said cautiously, "Alright, you stay outside to cover me. If any accidents occur, I'll hide in the Small World, and you use Reverse Summoning on me..."

"Fine, then I'll run outside and hide far away first. It would be a joke if I got cornered at the entrance..."

Nirvana thought it made sense; it was better to be cautious. Although space-time teleportation was powerful, who knew if the Giant Tenseigan could restrict space? If that happened, the main body would have no choice but to hide in the world.

"Alright, take care of yourself!!!"

Having said that, Nirvana turned and ran.

Clean and decisive.

It was as if he had been waiting for those words all along.

Damn~ how can he be so cowardly?

"I..." Qingwu reached out, but swallowed his words. We are the same person... can't curse... can't curse...

"Inhale~ Exhale~~"

"Inhale~ Exhale~~"

Qingwu quickly took deep breaths to adjust his emotions, otherwise, he was truly afraid he would be angered to death by his own clone, Nirvana.

"Come to think of it, am I really this cowardly?!"

Qingwu.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about it.

Because.

He knew.

It was him.

He would run too.

"Continue clearing the stage. Treasure hunting~ treasure hunting~"

Following that was distorted space, a circular sea, and a new space that possessed a sun.

Qingwu couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens~ the Hyuga predecessors were truly awesome. This is just like another world."

"This is what you call a clan territory; this is what you call prestige."

"By comparison, the Konoha Hyuga clan territory is just a poor countryside; there's no comparison..."

Looking at the ruins of the small city before him.

Qingwu scanned with his Byakugan.

He quickly found a secret chamber, inside which were dense rows of tombstones belonging to the Otsutsuki clan.

"Good heavens~ does this count as grave robbing my own ancestral tomb? If this were my past life, I'd probably be doing time in prison?!" Qingwu had a sudden thought, then shook his head. This is the Ninja World, after all.

"Speaking of which, will digging up graves bring bad luck?! These are the graves of my ancestors; if Grandpa finds out, I'll be beaten to death, right?!"

He shivered after saying that.

Forget the latter part.

How many graves have Orochimaru and Kabuto dug?

They are both fine.

I will be too.

On second thought, forget it; I shouldn't disturb the remains of the ancestors.

It would be a grave disrespect.

Finally, Qingwu discovered several murals.

"So that's how it is~ So this is the origin of the Hyuga clan."

Back in the day, after the brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura sealed their mother and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path on the moon.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo traveled the Ninja World, while Hamura remained on the moon to monitor their mother and prevent the Ten-Tails from resurrecting.

He watched his brother create Ninshu, and he also saw the new order established in the new world he had forged.

However, he held a skeptical attitude toward it in his heart.

Thus, he gave instructions to his descendants.

If the world created by his brother Hagoromo ever violated the way of the ninja, they were to destroy that world.

In the thousands of years that followed.

The ninjas on Earth never ceased their fighting, constantly using chakra as a weapon.

Later on, even the Tailed Beast and the Summoning Holy Land were dragged into the wars.

Countless lives were lost.

This led the Otsutsuki clan on the moon to conclude that the ninjas on Earth were destroying the peace and order of the world, making them an unstable factor.

They held differing opinions on how to handle the Ninja World.

The Main Branch believed that as long as they monitored the Ninja World well and prevented the lunar seal from being broken, they should leave the ninjas on the ground be, only using deterrence and guidance when necessary.

The Branch Family members were more extreme; they believed that as long as these ninjas remained, they would destroy the world's peace, so they should all be destroyed to create a new world—a world guided by the lunar Otsutsuki clan, where they would become the new gods.

A race of gods.

The Main Branch feared the Branch Family would go to extremes, so they forcibly brought all the Branch Family members back to the moon, leaving only a portion of neutral clansmen in the Ninja World; this was the origin of the Hyuga and Kaguya clans.

"The ancestors of the Main Branch had good intentions, but they didn't realize that blocking is worse than dredging; heavy-handed suppression is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps this is what sowed the seeds for the Branch Family to eventually destroy the Main Branch..."

"Born of the same root, why be in such a hurry to burn one another?"

"Sigh~"
