"I was thinking of inviting you to visit the Land of Hot Water after the war."
"But now that old guy, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, is going to be resurrected, which has caused so much trouble."
In mid-air, Uchiha Makoto, who was flying at high speed while holding someone in his arms, said with some emotion.
If it weren't for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, I'd probably already be on my way to unifying the Shinobi World, right?
Upon hearing this, Kaguya Takeori slightly turned her head, glanced at the distance to the moon, pondered for a moment, and then gently poked Uchiha Makoto with her finger.
Tell me about these guys on the moon!
"Um."
Uchiha Makoto nodded, pondered for a moment to organize his thoughts, and then slowly said, "Do you know about the Main Family and branch family of the Hyuga Clan?"
The main Main Family and branch family of the Hyuga Clan?
Kaguya Takeori's eyes flickered. Whether as a distant relative of the Hyuga Clan or as the Mizukage, she was certainly familiar with the Hyuga Clan's system.
These are the so-called Main Family and branch families.
"Within the Hyuga Clan, the Main Family are the true heirs, and they comprise only a small portion of the clan."
Kaguya Takeori nodded slightly and said softly.
After speaking, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Uchiha Makoto. Why did she suddenly bring up the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan?
Are there Main Family on the moon too?
"There are Byakugan on the moon too."
"Like the Hyuga Clan, or rather, the Hyuga Clan originally learned from them, these guys on the moon are also divided into the Main Family and the branch family."
"But unlike the Hyuga Clan, their Main Family and branch family are not very different, and they are not Caged Bird Seal."
"Furthermore, I suspect that the Caged Bird Seal was originally intended by the Hyuga Clan to protect themselves from them!"
Uchiha Makoto said softly, but what he said left Kaguya Takeori completely puzzled.
It's understandable that those in the Shinobi World without the Byakugan would covet it, but why are these people who also have the Byakugan still coveting the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan?
The Hyuga Clan even developed the Caged Bird specifically for this purpose, a secret technique despised by countless people.
"Is the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan really that good?"
Adhering to the principle of asking questions whenever possible, Kaguya Takeori asked directly.
"Perhaps!"
"After all, the Hyuga Clan has a long history of inbreeding, so the quality of their Byakugan might be higher."
Uchiha Makoto was also rather unclear about this, as their Byakugan almost never appeared in the original work.
These Ōtsutsuki on the moon seem to have inherited the Chakra of the original Ōtsutsuki, that is, the power of the Ōtsutsuki.
Therefore, the Byakugan is probably stronger in the Hyuga Clan, which intermarries within the clan generation after generation.
In reality, intermarriage between generations of humans is naturally not feasible.
Take the Japanese Imperial House, for example, which has practiced inbreeding for over two thousand years. The disadvantages that arise from the accumulation of inbreeding are evident.
As for why these people are considered fools now, the reason is simple—in history, none of the intelligent princes left any descendants.
During the 675-year period of the Kamakura Shogunate and Tokugawa Shogunate who ruled Japan, all the princes who showed intelligence from a young age, such as the most famous Ikkyu, were forced to become monks and completely distance themselves from the ruling class of Japan.
If these inferior genes are passed down from generation to generation, wouldn't they all become stupid?
The Shinobi World is full of people in a vegetative state, so don't look at it like you would a purebred dog.
Purebred dogs almost always require continuous inbreeding to preserve their breed characteristics.
So, putting aside moral considerations, pure blood can indeed enhance certain genetic traits.
As descendants of the Ōtsutsuki, who can be called gods, the close relatives of the various bloodline ninja clans are highly likely to have inherited the superior traits from the Ōtsutsuki, and very unlikely to have inherited the inferior traits.
Add to that the effects of war, and the constant selection of advantages and disadvantages, and some geniuses are bound to emerge.
The geniuses were kept and raised, while the deformed ones were simply killed.
But there are no wars on the moon to serve as a selection process!
If a family has maintained a genetic exchange of no genes with the outside world for two thousand years, or only with their close relatives Hyuga Clan, and then continued to practice endogamy, it's hard to say whether there are any problems.
'So those Ōtsutsuki on the moon might really have experienced a decline in their Byakugan abilities, making them inferior to the Hyuga Clan.'
Uchiha Makoto thought to himself.
When he was spying on those Ōtsutsuki, he discovered that the strongest among them were only a few peak Kage Level, and there were no exceptionally powerful individuals.
Although both are cases of inbreeding, the Hyuga Clan is in a much better situation.
Not only are there constant selection processes during wars, but the Kohinata clan, whose bloodline is extremely thin, also continuously transfers genes Little Hyūga them. Even the Main Family are passively mixed with a little bit of different genes from the branches every once in a while to keep the bloodline stable and allow it to be passed down normally.
As for the disadvantages inherited from the Ōtsutsuki, Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but glance at Kaguya Takeori.
He, Uchiha and Kaguya Takeori, inherited a typical disadvantage – personality.
There is a very interesting phenomenon among the descendants of the Six Paths Brothers.
The Uchiha Clan, who inherited the Sage Mode eyes of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, are peaceful thinkers with eccentric personalities, while the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan, who inherited the Sage Body, are the opposite, with stable thoughts and personalities.
On the other hand, Hamura Ōtsutsuki's side is completely the opposite. The Kaguya Clan and Horn Clan who inherited his body are all warlike, while the Hyuga Clan who inherited his eyes have particularly stable personalities.
The other two groups that inherited Chakra, the Hagoromo Clan and the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon, are both trapped in a predicament where their bloodline is difficult to awaken.
We're almost there.
Kaguya Takeori gently reminded him, bringing Uchiha Makoto back to his senses.
Seeing that it wasn't far ahead, Uchiha Makoto nodded and controlled Susanoo flap its wings and take flight once more.
Boom!
The enormous Susanoo landed like Gaia, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Once the dust settled, Uchiha Makoto and his companion dispelled Susanoo.
Where is the entrance?
Kaguya Takeori looked at the unremarkable surface of the moon and couldn't help but ask.
Without an entrance, they can't simply break through the lunar surface to enter the moon's interior, can they?
"The entrance is right here!"
Uchiha Makoto chuckled, and his eyes transformed into the Rinnegan.
The Yomotsu Hirasaka activated instantly, and the next second, a spacetime vortex appeared in front of them.
"Let's go!"
Uchiha Makoto waved his hand, and he and Kaguya Takeori stepped inside one after the other.
Uchiha Makoto smiled broadly, his eyes full of anticipation.
He was very curious about what kind of offspring would be produced if the Ōtsutsuki bloodline groups intermarried with these Ōtsutsuki.
Will the eyes of God— the Jōgan —appear?
After an unknown amount of time, the two reached the end of the tunnel. As they stepped out, they saw a middle-aged man from the Ōtsutsuki whose expression was strikingly similar to that of Hyuga Hiashi.
He was taken aback when he saw Uchiha Makoto and the other two, then bowed respectfully and said:
"Ōtsutsuki Lingren greets Your Excellency!"
