After Kamizuki's spiritual energy entered his mindscape and searched around, he discovered something.

First:

How to cultivate Yin-Yang Release and how to use it.

(This was mentioned earlier in the book, but I'll explain it in more detail below.)

The transformation of Yin and Yang is also known as Yin-Yang Release.

The concept of Yin Release and Yang Release is this: Yin energy, which governs imagination and spiritual energy, creates form from nothing.

Yang energy, which governs physical energy, gives life to form.

Yin-Yang Release, as its name suggests, is a combination of Yin Release and Yang Release. It is a technique that creates all things from nothing and gives them life. According to legend, the Sage of Six Paths, the progenitor of all shinobi, used Yin-Yang Release to create the Tailed Beasts.

(The author's words: "Holy crap! This ability is ridiculously overpowered! How am I supposed to write this book now?" QAQ This book is destined to be about someone on the path to godhood.)

Back to the point: creativity, as shown in the original story, was behind Pain and Obito's black rods, which were formed through Yin-Yang Release according to their will. Naruto used Yin-Yang Release to create an eye.

Second: Rabbit Hair Needle

The user shot their hair out like needles and, with the help of the Byakugan, pierced the enemy's chakra pathways, rendering them unable to move. (It was somewhat similar to Jiraiya's Needle Jizo technique.)

After Kamizuki finished looking over these two inherited techniques, he felt like his brain couldn't keep up. Yin-Yang Release alone would keep him busy for years.

He couldn't yet study the deeper inheritance, so Kamizuki decided to figure these two techniques out first!

Kamizuki wasn't greedy, trying to enjoy what was in his bowl while eyeing what was in the pot. The inheritance was all inside him anyway, so he could take his time!

Even if the meat went bad, it was still in his own pot. It wasn't going anywhere.

Of course, if he wanted to make it in the Ninja World, he couldn't rely on just these two techniques. He wouldn't be able to get by, so Kamizuki came up with a good plan.

Kamizuki thought, My strength is still too weak, and I have no trump card to protect myself. Since I can't master much more of Hamura's Inheritance for now, I'll have to learn some Five Elements Release first. (Here, Five Elements Release meant the five chakra natures: fire, lightning, earth, water, and wind.)

After Kamizuki received Hamura's Inheritance and awakened the Tenseigan, he learned Yin-Yang Release and Rabbit Hair Needle. Over the past week or two, he had gained a basic grasp of all this.

During the week before the exam, he spent almost every day in the library, poring over all kinds of books on Five Elements Release techniques.

There was one thing worth mentioning. After Kamizuki awakened the Tenseigan, he discovered a function Hamura hadn't told him about: whenever he activated the Tenseigan to read, he found that his eyes were still a freaking recording device. With the Tenseigan active, he could read ten lines at a glance, or even more, and remember everything he saw for the rest of his life.

So he had spent every day that week in the library, learning many techniques. He only committed some of them to memory without actually mastering them, but he could learn them later!

Kamizuki had only found some ordinary, basic Five Elements Release techniques in the library. How could that satisfy him? So he started coveting the Scroll of Seals, which was guarded by the Third, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He remembered from watching the anime in his previous life that the Scroll of Seals contained many powerful techniques. The one he looked forward to most was the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Kamizuki had tried asking Hiashi about the Scroll of Seals, but Hiashi said that he would need the Third, Sarutobi Hiruzen, to approve his request before he could read it.

After hearing that, Kamizuki gave it some thought and realized the difficulty was a little too high!

Frowning, Kamizuki came up with another idea: he would just have to wait until that brat Uzumaki Naruto graduated and stole the Scroll of Seals, then borrow it from him to have a look.

After daydreaming about how he would borrow the Scroll of Seals from Naruto, Kamizuki finally returned to reality and stopped thinking about all that nonsense.

Ever since Hinata started school, Kamizuki often went to play with her class. Rock Lee and Tenten also loved following right behind him.

You might ask why Kamizuki was always running over to Hinata's class whenever he had nothing to do.

Do you think the author has enough decency to tell you that Kamizuki is actually a "siscon"?

Uh, well... he's already told you. Kamizuki really is a "siscon."

But the author would like to make one thing clear: Kamizuki is a virtuous, moral, and well-mannered young man of the modern age.

If Kamizuki hadn't been reborn into the Hyuga Clan, he would have fought tooth and nail to make Hinata his wife. But there was no point wishing for the impossible. He had been reborn into the Hyuga Clan as Hinata's twin younger brother, so he had snuffed out that wicked thought before it could take root.

Though they couldn't share romantic love, there was another kind of love more precious than romance: family.

All right! Back to the point:

Kamizuki had also become very familiar with the little brats in Hinata's class.

That thick-browed kid, Rock Lee, was just like his counterpart in the original story. Whenever he saw Haruno Sakura, he practically drooled, then shamelessly started chasing after her.

Haruno Sakura couldn't stand the thick, bushy eyebrows on that thick-browed kid. Whenever she saw them, she imagined two wriggling caterpillars, and it made her hair stand on end.

Haruno Sakura had had enough of Rock Lee pestering her, and finally lodged a serious complaint with Kamizuki. She asked him to make sure he didn't bring that thick-browed kid along next time.

Kamizuki said awkwardly to Haruno Sakura, "I can only try not to bring him. His legs belong to him."

Kamizuki also thought Rock Lee's behavior was really embarrassing. He had tried teaching Rock Lee how to flirt with girls.

Rock Lee always agreed enthusiastically, but every time Kamizuki went to Hinata's class, Rock Lee would come scampering after him. The moment he saw Haruno Sakura, he went right back to his old self.

All Kamizuki could do was give Haruno Sakura an awkward smile.

If you think this book is any good, add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again next time.
