Master of Peeping

Doichi Hyuga found the Moon Ōtsutsuki library and stayed inside for three days.

He read through the history of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and even found the method for controlling the Giant Tenseigan.

You sly old fox, you finally couldn't hold back anymore, could you?

A smile curled at Doichi Hyuga's lips as he walked out of the library.

Outside stood a human without eyes—or rather, a corpse.

"Doichi Hyuga! I want to speak with you. Come see me at the shrine!"

After saying that, the corpse shattered onto the ground and gradually turned to ash.

Doichi Hyuga hooked the three Ōtsutsuki up to large IV drips to keep them from starving to death, then reinforced the sealing technique once more.

Riding his sword through the sky, Doichi Hyuga swiftly returned to the village shrine and entered the tomb chamber below.

He passed grave after grave before stopping before the largest tomb at the very end.

Several ancient characters were carved onto the tombstone. Fortunately, Doichi Hyuga had read nearly every historical record over the years. Those characters represented a name: Hamura Otsutsuki!

"Ancestor! Did you wish to see me?"

Doichi Hyuga bowed to the grave and asked respectfully.

A ghostly soul projection gradually emerged, and a horned old man appeared before him.

"Doichi Hyuga! What did you come to the moon for?"

The old man was fairly straightforward and asked directly.

It seemed that he was well aware of everything Doichi Hyuga had done over the past few days.

"Ancestor! The Ōtsutsuki on the moon attacked me, so I came to investigate their intelligence!"

Doichi Hyuga looked utterly sincere, the picture of an honest man.

The Sage of Six Paths brothers were both crafty old foxes, incredibly powerful, and veteran peeping toms.

Doichi Hyuga did not want to offend the brothers. There was no benefit in offending them. Even if he could defeat them someday in the future, there was no need to become enemies with them.

Still, defeating those sly old fox brothers within ten years was practically a fantasy.

The two brothers had cultivated for over a thousand years. No one would believe they had made no progress. Even a pig that had lived for a thousand years would have evolved into Marshal Tianpeng.

In human interactions, one must never cast aside social etiquette, tact, and manners.

Idiots who loved picking fights with heaven, earth, and thin air would never meet a good end. If someone spoke harshly, had no emotional intelligence, and acted pretentious all day long, no one would like them.

Building good karma was the proper way to live. The same held true in any world.

"Have you seen their objective now?"

Hamura Otsutsuki continued.

"Yes! They want to seize the Byakugan and activate that Tenseigan of theirs, then destroy the Ninja World!"

"Then what do you intend to do?"

"I want to stop them!"

"My final wish was never meant that way. They misunderstood it! It's a long story..."

Hamura Otsutsuki let out a breath of relief and revealed a kindly smile.

Next, the old man began with Kaguya Otsutsuki's story and continued until the destruction of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

After listening for about an hour, Doichi Hyuga showed no impatience.

This was the most comprehensive historical account he had encountered. It was far richer than the original work, and far more authentic.

"Since they misunderstood your final wish, couldn't you just tell them!?"

Doichi Hyuga was somewhat confused. Something this simple, why did you have to make it so complicated?

"I do not wish to see them!"

Well then! It seemed the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family had disappointed the old man too deeply. He had completely washed his hands of them!

Doichi Hyuga could only sigh. Those who bring calamity upon themselves cannot escape it! From the moment they raised their blades against the Ōtsutsuki Main Family, Hamura Otsutsuki must have been thoroughly disappointed in the branch family!

"Fine! Then I'll go tell them!"

"Wouldn't killing them directly resolve the crisis easily?"

Hamura Otsutsuki asked.

"Ancestor, there's no need to kill them, is there? I don't like killing people! If you want to punish them, then you should do it yourself! Don't make me do it. We're distant relatives, after all! I don't want to stain myself with that kind of sin!"

Other than those who committed evil and deserved death, Doichi Hyuga truly had never killed anyone.

"Mm! Since you're unwilling, then forget it!"

Hamura Otsutsuki's smile brightened. The little fellow before him was rather satisfactory.

"The energy within you differs from that of ninjas. Its quality is extremely high—even higher than Sage Chakra. Have you found a better path of cultivation?"

"As expected of my ancestor, you saw through it at a glance!"

Doichi Hyuga chuckled as he subtly handed the old man a flattering compliment first.

"Your foundation is very strong. Have you ever considered awakening the Tenseigan?"

"I'll leave that to fate! Tenseigan or not, I am still myself!"

The smile on old man Hamura's face deepened, and he nodded approvingly. The little fellow's temperament was somewhat like that of a monk who had renounced the world, with a few similarities to his elder brother Hagoromo.

The Sage of Six Paths had later become a monk to atone for his sins. Of course, monks in this world were not forbidden from marrying.

"Little fellow, this mindset of yours is excellent! In truth, you are already very close to the Tenseigan! If you continue working hard according to your cultivation method, you will definitely become an extraordinary powerhouse!"

"Ancestor, you're right. That's what I think too!"

Hamura Otsutsuki's words made sense. Doichi Hyuga truly had no obsession with the Tenseigan.

He would naturally be delighted if he obtained it, but he could accept it if he did not. He walked the path of immortality, fundamentally different from that of ninjas. Even if he simply wore down time, he would one day become invincible beneath heaven.

Techniques of slaughter were merely things to pick up along the way. The Great Dao of heaven and earth was the foundation of everything.

"I wish to ask you to destroy the Tenseigan and remove the threat it poses to the Ninja World!"

Hamura Otsutsuki said.

"Alright! But I'm not confident I can destroy it!"

"I will give you my chakra. With it, you will be able to destroy it! I hope that you will protect the Ninja World and humanity in the future!"

With a solemn expression, Hamura Otsutsuki raised his hand and condensed a sphere of light, which flew into Doichi Hyuga's body.

See? The benefits came right away! Polite, well-behaved children really were more favored by their elders!

Doichi Hyuga was in high spirits. This trip had not been in vain after all.

He had made an impression on Hamura Otsutsuki first. Perhaps he could gain some unexpected benefits in the future!

With Hamura Otsutsuki's approval here, perhaps he could also get some benefits from that old man of Six Paths in the future!

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra was of extremely high quality and highly aggressive. Hamura had cultivated his chakra to an exceptionally high realm.

"You should leave now! I must continue sleeping!"

After saying that, Hamura Otsutsuki waved his hand and slowly vanished.

"Ancestor! I'll come visit you again in the future!"

Doichi Hyuga bowed, then turned and left the tomb chamber.

After returning to the branch family palace, Doichi Hyuga came before the Giant Tenseigan.

He controlled the Giant Tenseigan and extracted his own memories. He found the segment of his conversation with Hamura, copied it into three memory fragments, and sent the glowing memory spheres flying toward the three Ōtsutsuki Branch Family members, where they swiftly entered their brains.

Doichi Hyuga had no interest in dealing with them. He would let them repent and atone for the rest of their lives!

Hamura Otsutsuki spoke of wanting to kill them, but if Doichi Hyuga truly did it, the one who came out to stop him would probably still be Hamura.

Not only would he gain no benefits, he would most likely be driven off the moon.
