The golden Giant Tenseigan was incredibly beautiful. Two snowflake patterns, one large and one small, overlapped as they slowly rotated.
Byakugan: Vacuum Fist
Hamura Otsutsuki's chakra mixed with the spiritual energy within Doichi Hyuga's body, and the high-density energy was unleashed in a single punch.
As the supreme taijutsu of the Byakugan, Doichi Hyuga got to experience it ahead of time.
The Vacuum Fist parted the air, trailing a long vacuum tail behind it. The fist struck the Giant Tenseigan in an instant, too fast for the eye to follow.
The Giant Tenseigan shattered instantly, and countless Byakugan fell below like raindrops.
Creating a vacuum with one punch was probably second only to shattering space with one punch.
Still, it was far inferior to Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. Kaguya Otsutsuki could unleash dozens of Vacuum Fists in an instant—that was true omnidirectional devastation, with nowhere to hide!
Doichi Hyuga descended after them, 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 have miraculous effects on recovery.
Doichi Hyuga created over a thousand shadow clones and began absorbing the ocular power from those Byakugan.
After discarding the energy of personal will contained 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. 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 into ashes with a single blaze from Doichi Hyuga.
Doichi Hyuga felt a slight swelling in his eyes. He found a mirror and examined them carefully. A faint glow flowed through his white eyes, and both their purity and ocular power had improved somewhat.
After returning to his residence, he obtained Otsutsuki Toneri's body tissue and blood.
He then removed the Soul-Sealing Formula from the three people and flew away on his sword.
Returning to Hamura Otsutsuki's grave, he informed him that the task was complete. After leaving a Flying Thunder God Mark in the abandoned village, Doichi Hyuga used Flying Thunder God to appear at the entrance of 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 arduous work, Doichi Hyuga obtained satisfactory experimental results.
The fusion between his original body and Otsutsuki Toneri's cells went fairly smoothly, and the rejection issue had been perfectly resolved.
After the two fused, more Gene Locks were opened. The Byakugan's ocular power continuously sublimated, while Toneri's cells also improved Doichi Hyuga's body.
Doichi Hyuga called them: Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells.
He compared the chakra refined 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? When running errands for others, wasn't it only right to take a little benefit? That old man Hamura didn't say anything, did he?]
On the other side, Kimimaro's cell fusion also succeeded.
However, after Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells were added to Kimimaro's cells, an obvious collective degeneration phenomenon appeared.
Later, Doichi Hyuga had a flash of inspiration and carried out a forbidden experiment.
The Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, and Uzumaki Clan fused to produce Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells.
When Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells fused, they devoured and fought each other until they ultimately headed toward destruction.
Yet after Kimimaro's cells were added, the two unexpectedly maintained a bizarre balance.
After reaching equilibrium, the Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells rapidly fused, continuously sublimating and dividing.
In the end, they formed the shape of a woman, then swelled into a sphere and exploded into ashes.
Doichi Hyuga was badly frightened and nearly packed a bucket and fled.
That woman-shaped creature looked very familiar to Doichi Hyuga, because she was: Kaguya Otsutsuki!
After that incident, Doichi Hyuga truly did not dare to mess around anymore.
After all, the Hamura Ōtsutsuki Cells and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki Cells had not been taken from the two men themselves, so they still differed considerably from them.
These two kinds of cells were, after all, fusion products of their descendants' cells. Their bloodlines had already been diluted many times over.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's physique was probably impossible to synthesize.
Doichi Hyuga vaguely had a theory: even if the Six Paths brothers gave him their cells, he still would not be able to fuse a physique with Kaguya's level of strength.
Doichi Hyuga did not want to fuse Otsutsuki Toneri's cells now. His strength was already more than sufficient.
Daoist cultivation valued one's original nature most. What one possessed oneself was the most suitable, and it would not leave behind any hidden troubles.
Even if he were to fuse them, he would have to wait until his body advanced further. Only when his physical strength could easily suppress Otsutsuki Toneri's cells would there be no hidden dangers!
The plan to fuse Toneri's cells was temporarily shelved. It could serve as a backup method for the future, while the experiments could continue. Perhaps he would uncover something new.
Half a year later.
Doichi Hyuga removed a note from a crow. It was a letter from Itachi Uchiha.
After unfolding it, he read that Itachi Uchiha had told him the Akatsuki Organization leader's goal was the nine tailed beasts. Furthermore, Pain's ability seemed to involve manipulating gravity.
In addition, he had already confirmed the masked man's identity.
A flame emerged from his fingertips, and the paper slowly burned to ash.
"Um, well... Brother Dao Yi! The weather is getting colder and colder, so this is for you!"
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and held up a paper bag. A faint blush colored her little face as it faced the ground.
"Mm! Thank you, Hinata!"
Doichi Hyuga took 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 gesture. Where was her gift?
"Hmph! Brother Dao Yi only knows how to bully me!"
Hanabi Hyuga angrily pulled out a small box and slapped it fiercely into Doichi Hyuga's hand.
"Brother Dao Yi! This is my gift!"
Seeing the sisters make their move, Neji Hyuga handed a pair of tactical gloves to Doichi Hyuga.
These tactical gloves provided 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 may 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!"
"I understand, Brother Dao Yi!"
"Yes, Brother Dao Yi!"
"Hey! Brother Dao Yi! What about me? What about me?"
Hanabi Hyuga was so anxious that she stamped her feet, shoving 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 practicing your family's Gentle Fist properly!"
"Fine..."
Hanabi walked away dejectedly, while the three began cultivating on their own.
Knock, knock, knock!
Hearing the knock, Doichi Hyuga went to open the door.
"Senior Shizune?! Is something wrong?"
Standing outside was the somewhat uneasy young woman in black stockings.
"I need to talk to you!"
Shizune turned and walked away, leaving Doichi Hyuga with no choice but to follow her.
