Master of Peeping

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

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

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

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

Outside stood a human with no eyes. More precisely, it was a corpse.

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

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 air, Doichi Hyuga swiftly returned to the village temple and entered the burial chamber below.

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

Several ancient characters were inscribed on 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 tomb and asked respectfully.

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

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

The old man was rather straightforward and asked directly.

It seemed that he knew very well what Doichi Hyuga had been doing these past few days.

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

Doichi Hyuga wore an earnest expression, looking every bit like an honest man.

The Sage of Six Paths brothers were both cunning bastards, one big and one small. They were insanely powerful and veteran peeping masters as well.

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

Still, defeating those scheming brothers within ten years was little more than a pipe dream.

The two of them 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.

When dealing with people, one must never discard social etiquette, manners, and upbringing.

Those idiots who loved picking fights with Heaven, Earth, and thin air never met good ends. If someone spoke harshly, had no emotional intelligence at all, and acted pretentious all day long, nobody would like them.

Making more good connections was the proper path in life. The same held true in any world.

"Have you seen their objective now?"

Hamura Otsutsuki continued.

"Yes! They want to seize the Byakugan, awaken that Tenseigan thing, and then destroy the Ninja World!"

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"I want to stop them!"

"My final order was never meant that way. They misunderstood it! The story behind this is rather long..."

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

Next, the old man began with Kaguya Otsutsuki and continued all the way until the destruction of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

After listening for roughly an hour, Doichi Hyuga did not show the slightest impatience.

This was the most comprehensive historical account available, far richer and more truthful than the original story.

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

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

"This old man does 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 utterly disappointed in the branch family, right!?

"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, you can do it yourself! Please don't make me do it. We're distant relatives, after all! I don't want to bear that kind of sin!"

Other than evildoers who deserved death, Doichi Hyuga truly had never killed anyone.

"Mm! Since you are unwilling, then forget it!"

Hamura Otsutsuki's smile grew even brighter. The little fellow before him was fairly satisfactory.

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

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

Doichi Hyuga chuckled cheerfully, subtly producing a flattering compliment and placing it upon the old man first.

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

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

The smile on old Hamura's face deepened, and he nodded approvingly. The little fellow's temperament was somewhat like that of an ascetic monk, with certain similarities to his elder brother Hagoromo.

The Sage of Six Paths later became 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 very good! In truth, you are already extremely close to the Tenseigan! If you continue working hard according to your cultivation method, you will certainly become an extraordinary powerhouse!"

"Ancestor is right. That is what I think as well!"

Hamura Otsutsuki made perfect sense. Doichi Hyuga truly was not obsessed 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 relied on time, he would one day become invincible beneath Heaven.

Arts of slaughter were merely things to be picked up along the way. The great Dao of Heaven and Earth was the true foundation of everything.

"I would like to ask you to destroy the Tenseigan and remove the threat 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 in the future, you can protect the Ninja World and protect humanity!"

Hamura Otsutsuki looked solemn as he raised a hand and condensed a sphere of light, which flew into Doichi Hyuga's body.

See? The benefits had arrived already. Well-mannered, obedient children really were more favored by their elders!

Doichi Hyuga was in an excellent mood. This trip had not been in vain after all.

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

Now that he had gained Hamura Otsutsuki's approval, perhaps he could also get some benefits from that old Sage of Six Paths someday!

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

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

"You should leave now! I must return to sleep!"

After saying that, Hamura Otsutsuki waved a hand and slowly disappeared.

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

Doichi Hyuga bowed, then turned and left the burial 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. Finding the segment of his conversation with Hamura, he copied it into three memory fragments. The glowing memory spheres flew toward the three members of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family and swiftly entered their minds.

Doichi Hyuga had no interest in dealing with them. He would let them spend the rest of their lives repenting and atoning for their sins!

Hamura Otsutsuki said he wanted to kill them, but if he truly did so, he would probably be the one to come out and stop him.

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