Destroying the Giant Tenseigan

The golden Giant Tenseigan was exceptionally beautiful, with two snowflake patterns of different sizes overlapping and slowly rotating.

Byakugan: Vacuum Fist

Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra mixed with the spiritual energy within Doichi Hyuga's body, and the high-density energy was blasted out in a single punch.

Doichi Hyuga got to experience the Byakugan's supreme taijutsu ahead of schedule.

The Vacuum Fist parted the air, trailing a long vacuum tail behind it. The fist struck the Giant Tenseigan in an instant, too fast to see clearly.

The Giant Tenseigan shattered at once, and countless Byakugan fell below like raindrops.

Creating a vacuum with one punch was probably second only to shattering space with a single punch.

Still, it was far inferior to Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Fist. Kaguya Otsutsuki could unleash dozens of Vacuum Fists in an instant—that was truly inescapable, covering heaven and earth!

Doichi Hyuga followed it down, where countless Byakugan had piled into a small mountain.

Being stared at by countless Byakugan was practically a blessing for people with trypophobia; it would surely work wonders for their recovery.

Doichi Hyuga created over a thousand Shadow Clones and began absorbing the ocular power from those Byakugan.

After discarding the energy of individual wills within the Byakugan, there was not much ocular power left that could be absorbed.

The ocular power and purity of these Byakugan were far inferior to those of the Hyuga Clan, so he could only rely on quantity to bring about a qualitative change.

Two days later, the ocular power had been fully absorbed. The mountain of Byakugan was burned to ash with a single fire release from Doichi Hyuga.

Doichi Hyuga felt a slight swelling in his eyes and found a mirror to inspect them carefully. A soft glow flowed through his white eyes, and both their purity and ocular power had improved somewhat.

After returning to the residence, he obtained Toneri Otsutsuki's body tissue and blood.

He then released the Soul-Sealing Formula on the three people and flew away on his sword.

Returning to Hamura Otsutsuki's grave, he informed him that the mission had been completed. After leaving a Flying Thunder God Technique mark in the abandoned village, Doichi Hyuga used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear at the entrance to the teleportation array.

Following the original plan, Doichi Hyuga returned to Konoha after a week of sightseeing!

After turning in the mission at the mission department, Doichi Hyuga plunged headfirst into the laboratory.

After three months of hard work, Doichi Hyuga obtained satisfactory experimental results.

The fusion between his own cells and Toneri Otsutsuki's cells went fairly smoothly, and the rejection issue had been perfectly resolved.

After the two fused, more genetic locks were opened. The Byakugan's ocular power continued to ascend, while Toneri's cells further improved Doichi Hyuga's body.

Doichi Hyuga named them: Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells.

He compared the chakra extracted from these cells with Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra. Although its quality was high, it was still far inferior to Hamura Otsutsuki's.

What? You say Doichi Hyuga was lining his own pockets? If he was running errands for others, wasn't it only right for him to take a little benefit? Old man Hamura didn't say anything either, did he?

Meanwhile, Kimimaro's cellular fusion also succeeded.

However, after Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells were added to Kimimaro's cells, a clear phenomenon of collective degeneration appeared.

Then, in a flash of inspiration, Doichi Hyuga carried out a forbidden experiment.

Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, and Uzumaki Clan cells fused to produce Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells.

Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells devoured and battled each other after fusing, ultimately heading toward destruction.

Yet after Kimimaro's cells were added, the two unexpectedly maintained an eerie balance.

After reaching equilibrium, the Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells rapidly fused, continuously ascending and dividing.

In the end, they formed the shape of a woman, then expanded into a sphere and exploded into ash.

Doichi Hyuga was badly startled and nearly prepared to grab a bucket and run.

That woman-shaped creature looked very familiar to Doichi Hyuga, because she was: Kaguya Otsutsuki!

After that incident, Doichi Hyuga truly did not dare mess around anymore.

After all, the Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells had not been obtained from the two themselves, and differed considerably from them.

These two kinds of cells were, after all, fusion products of their descendants' cells. Their bloodlines had already been diluted countless times.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's physique was probably impossible to synthesize.

Doichi Hyuga vaguely speculated that even if the Sage brothers gave him their cells, he still would not be able to fuse a physique as powerful as Kaguya's.

Doichi Hyuga did not want to fuse Toneri Otsutsuki's cells now. His strength was already sufficient.

Daoist cultivation valued one's original nature most. Only what one possessed oneself was most suitable, and it would not leave behind any future complications.

Even if he were to fuse them, he would have to wait until his physical body advanced further. Only once his body could easily suppress Toneri Otsutsuki's cells would no hidden dangers remain!

The plan to fuse Toneri's cells was temporarily shelved and could serve as a backup method in the future. The experiments could continue; perhaps they would yield some new discoveries.

Half a year later.

Doichi Hyuga removed a note from a crow. It was a letter from Itachi Uchiha.

Opening it, he read that Itachi Uchiha had informed him that the Akatsuki Organization leader's goal was the nine tailed beasts. Furthermore, Pain's ability seemed to be control over gravity.

A flame emerged from his fingertip, and the paper slowly burned to ash.

"Um, well... Brother Doichi! The weather's getting colder and colder, so this is for you!"

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and held up a paper bag. A faint blush covered her little face as it faced the ground.

"Mm! Thank you, Hinata!"

Doichi Hyuga accepted the paper bag with his left hand and rubbed Hinata's head with his right.

He looked toward the other one and held out his hand in a clear gesture: where was her gift?

"Hmph! Brother Doichi only knows how to bully me!"

Hanabi Hyuga huffily pulled out a small box and slapped it hard into Doichi Hyuga's hand.

"Brother Doichi! This is my gift!"

Seeing the sisters make their move, Neji Hyuga handed Doichi Hyuga a pair of tactical gloves.

These tactical gloves offered a certain degree of defense and did not interfere with hand seals or ninjutsu. They seemed to be the same model as the pair Kakashi wore.

"These are cultivation scrolls for Tai Chi and Eight Trigrams Gentle Fist. They contain some of my personal insights into martial arts. You can use them for reference, but you must develop your own understanding."

Doichi Hyuga took out two scrolls and handed them to Hinata and Neji.

"Everyone has their own martial path to walk. Only those who find it can become strong. You may exchange the scrolls and read them, but you must keep them strictly confidential. Do not pass them on to outsiders!"

"I understand, Brother Doichi!"

"Yes, Brother Doichi!"

"Hey! Brother Doichi! What about me? What about me?"

Hanabi Hyuga anxiously jumped in place and shoved Hinata and Neji aside.

"Wait until you enter the ninja academy next year, then have the two of them teach you! For now, focus on mastering the Gentle Fist passed down in our family!"

"Fine!"

Hanabi walked away dejectedly, and the three began cultivating on their own.

Knock, knock, knock!

Hearing the knocking, Doichi Hyuga went to open the door.

"Senior Shizune?! Is something wrong?"

Standing outside was none other than the somewhat nervous little auntie in black stockings.

"I have something to tell you!"

Shizune turned and walked away, leaving Doichi Hyuga no choice but to follow.
