A Greeting for That Scum

Learning the incantations of Onmyodo was simple; there was no need to cheat.

With strength at such a height, learning downward-compatible techniques was incredibly easy.

Holding a mindset of just giving it a try, He recited the incantation, mobilized senjutsu chakra, And utilized the dojutsu composed of ocular power.

When the three merged into one, Uchiha Genmei grasped the truth.

Why the Otsutsuki clan of the starry sky had always kept their eyes fixed on this region.

Why Otsutsuki Yamu, who had ascended through dimensions, would leave his divine body on this planet, Instead of keeping it on their own home planet.

It was all very suspicious...

Now it seemed the reason was simple:

This planet was special!

It could remain vibrant even after being harvested, its Pure Land remained intact, and its cycle of life and death was untroubled.

Thinking back to when Momoshiki first appeared, And that dead star of his, it became clear that the Shinobi World was different!

Even more profound were the abilities of the Otsutsuki, Or rather, their dojutsu.

Another name for these things, Was divine technique!

Looking at the Sun Fire in his hand, which had become even more flexible, Uchiha Genmei couldn't help but whisper:

"The origin of chakra on this planet is Kaguya's fruit."

"And the growth of that fruit requires the absorption of the natural energy of this land."

Thinking of this, He sneered repeatedly in his heart.

Even an old schemer like Gamamaru had risked his life to sow discord between Kaguya and her sons when he was still young.

He did not believe that when the God Tree first descended, the top-tier local transcendent combatants of that time hadn't fought back with their lives.

It was obvious that those local transcendents, Or rather, those gods, had failed.

They had become nutrients for the God Tree!

He exhaled a breath of stale air:

"The Mangekyo of the Uchiha is said to be the eye that reflects the heart, but look at these dojutsu."

"What do they have to do with the heart?"

"There are records of multiple, repeating dojutsu."

"Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, Tsukuyomi—don't tell me those individuals just happened to share a telepathic connection!"

After this complaint, he continued his conjectures in his mind.

The dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan, In essence, were the remnants of divinity from the gods absorbed by the God Tree.

When an Uchiha awakened those eyes, Depending on their state of mind at the time, They would randomly draw from the chakra information in their bloodline, Conducting a lottery on that residual divine information!

The digitization of chakra information, Momoshiki had already demonstrated that in the original story.

Therefore, the Uchiha awakening their eyes might seem to depend on the heart, But in reality, it was just a gamble.

Those with good luck would get something like Kamui, A dojutsu even more exaggerated than a divine technique.

Those with bad luck...

It was the kind of trashy, unwatchable dōjutsu used by that fake, Uchiha Shin.

Thinking of this, he understood.

The ascension of the Otsutsuki was not something that could be achieved simply by gorging on fruits or piling up raw energy.

Momoshiki had drained an entire planet until it was a dead star.

Yet, after consuming it, his stats were still inferior to Kaguya's.

It seemed that Otsutsuki ascension required the information contained within the fruit, and within that information lay the laws of the universe.

That was why Kaguya had backstabbed her superior on this very land!

"Because this planet is teeming with deities—the information density of eight million gods!"

"A harvest from a planet still in its prime."

"Heh... even those who have already ascended are plotting such things."

With his mind made up, he considered his own dōjutsu.

By cheating, he had managed to complete the information within his eyes.

He had turned them into divine techniques.

His future was bright, and he had no need to worry about the quantity of his Aura.

If he remembered correctly, the Second Shinobi World War was only a few years away; it would break out soon.

When that time came, he would be able to obtain a massive amount of Divine Blade Aura through the honest, straightforward slaughter on the battlefield.

Even if those who had ascended decided to descend and stir up trouble, he would have nothing to fear.

Feeling fully confident, he set aside his wandering thoughts.

He strode out of the shrine and headed toward the palace.

Having received his benefits, it was time to resolve the trouble that was Moryo.

"It seems your studies are proceeding smoothly, My Lord."

Miko Miko looked up from her busy desk, a beaming smile on her face.

Uchiha Genmei nodded in acknowledgment and said calmly:

"Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are setting up a sealing barrier to protect you all."

"I will slay Moryo directly; that is the requirement for this S-rank mission."

"Now, tell me, how can I locate Moryo?"

Miko Miko fumbled in her sleeve and produced a bell.

She handed it to Uchiha Genmei:

"This bell is the link between this concubine and Moryo; it will guide your path."

He took the bell, stood up, and walked toward the main gate.

Miko Miko saw him out, watching his departing back.

She bowed and called out:

"I wish you great fortune in battle, My Lord!"

The departing figure waved a hand without looking back, signaling that he had received the blessing.

The young man walked out of the palace and approached Orochimaru, who was busy at work.

"Orochimaru-san, I am about to depart. How is your work coming along?"

Hearing the question from behind, Orochimaru set down the inscribed rune and stood up.

Calmly, he said:

"It's almost over. Are you sure you don't need any help?"

"No need. One person is enough, and besides, I have a partner."

"A partner?"

Uchiha Genmei didn't waste any more words; he formed a hand seal and slammed his palms onto the ground.

After a puff of smoke, a small blue cat walked out.

"Yo~ Kid Genmei, I thought you'd forgotten about me."

"I wouldn't forget. Miko Miko said that it isn't just Moryo causing trouble; there is another evil spirit stirring in the shadows."

At the mention of this, Uchiha Genmei's expression turned serious.

He gripped the hilt of his blade.

He said decisively:

"My first village mission must be flawless."

Watching the small cat jump onto Uchiha Genmei's shoulder, Orochimaru remained noncommittal, his rationality far outweighing his emotions.

Even if he felt a small Ninja Cat couldn't be of much help, he wouldn't let his composure slip.

"Then I wish you all the best, Genmei-kun."

He nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze sharpening, and three Magatama swirled within his eyes.

His Susanoo transformed into wings, and he took flight, flapping them powerfully.

Watching the figure in the sky vanish rapidly, Orochimaru shook his head helplessly and remarked:

"That really is exaggerated. To be able to activate Susanoo with just a three-Magatama Sharingan."

"Only Uchiha Madara, as recorded in history, has ever managed that."

He recorded the information in his hand; he didn't take his mission of monitoring his teacher lightly.

Even if this surveillance didn't hold much meaning.

Following the guidance of the bell, after flying through the air for about half an hour, he saw a pitch-black valley.

It was densely packed with immortal stone puppets.

Without alerting Moryo, Uchiha Genmei landed in a clearing quite some distance away.

He took a deep breath:

"Whew... It's starting, Matatabi!"

"Oh!!" Matatabi responded with excitement.

Jumping to the ground, the cat pressed its paws together.

Seeing this, Uchiha Genmei's pupils trembled as scarlet, intricate patterns spread across them.

He shouted:

"Susanoo!"

A golden giant slowly unfolded, and as its left hand rose, the Wine God Gourd released a massive amount of chakra.

It was the Tailed Beast chakra stored within the gourd!

The immense torrent of chakra

surged toward the meditating cat with its paws pressed together.

"It's here! It's here! Oh, oh, oh, my chakra!"

Amidst its excited roar, Matatabi's form slowly shifted back into a massive, demonic cat.

"Very good!"

Watching Matatabi reveal its true form, Uchiha Genmei exclaimed in admiration.

His focus tightened, and the massive golden giant dispersed, transforming into waves of golden divine energy.

It coiled around the giant cat demon!

The youth leaped, landing atop Matatabi's head.

In an instant, divine energy transformed into armor, cladding the giant beast.

The beast-warrior swung its hand into a grip, and the Tsumugari Great Blade manifested.

It wasn't over yet.

Uchiha Genmei's body shuddered as sage chakra surged forth like a torrent, wrapping around the armor.

Mysterious patterns shimmered brilliantly across the plating.

Beast Calamity—

Full activation!

The youth exhaled a breath of stale air.

The corners of his mouth curled upward.

He revealed a cruel smile, like a poisonous flower of the southern lands.

"Say hello to that piece of trash."

"Matatabi!"
