Otsutsuki Mode

The Hyuga Clan.

The Branch Family compound.

Hyuga Setsuna, already asleep, was suddenly pulled by a force onto a white expanse of land, where rows of towering palaces stood in the distance.

Suddenly, clusters of flames lit up in the distance.

Otsutsuki Kaguya slowly descended from above the palaces and landed before Hyuga Setsuna.

Her exquisite face was cold and impassive. She wore white robes patterned with black tomoe, and her eyes were Byakugan.

"Grandmother?"

Hyuga Setsuna stared blankly at Otsutsuki Kaguya as she descended before him, his face turning slightly red.

Otsutsuki Kaguya watched as Hyuga Setsuna's face grew redder and parted her crimson lips.

"Thy strength is too weak. Thou must become stronger. In this space, thou canst quickly grasp and come into contact with my Chakra, thereby becoming stronger."

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's words, the absentminded Hyuga Setsuna finally came back to his senses.

"Come into contact with it? Master it through training?"

Seeing Hyuga Setsuna's confusion, Otsutsuki Kaguya said nothing more. Instead, her aura and power gradually began to gather, and the entire Sealing Space trembled beneath her overwhelming presence.

A vertical Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan slowly opened on Otsutsuki Kaguya's smooth, jade-like forehead.

So this was the strongest eye in the world of Naruto. Hyuga Setsuna looked at the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan in Otsutsuki Kaguya's forehead, then at the Sealing Space, which seemed on the verge of collapse yet remained unexpectedly sturdy. He could not help but marvel at its immense power.

Otsutsuki Kaguya's Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan released a chain of blue starlight, swiftly binding Hyuga Setsuna and pulling him into her embrace.

The moment Hyuga Setsuna was bound by the chains, he tried to resist, only to be caught off guard as they dragged him straight into Otsutsuki Kaguya's arms.

"Grand... Grand... Grandmother, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Lying in Otsutsuki Kaguya's arms, Hyuga Setsuna looked utterly flustered. Even his ears felt hot. After all, in his previous life, he had never been so intimately close to any girl, much less a woman like Otsutsuki Kaguya, whose charm was simply overwhelming.

"Do not struggle. Properly accept the power I bestow upon thee."

Feeling Hyuga Setsuna constantly squirming and even flailing about in her arms, a faint flush crossed Otsutsuki Kaguya's face before she spoke coolly.

The Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on Otsutsuki Kaguya's forehead once more released pure, radiant Chakra like moonlight. It gradually transformed into a full moon that enveloped them both.

Having realized that resistance was futile, Hyuga Setsuna gradually calmed down. The gap in their strength was simply too vast.

Hadn't some great man said it before? Since he could not resist, he might as well enjoy it.

As time gradually passed, the full moon surrounding them slowly dissipated into strands of white light.

A faint blush lingered on Otsutsuki Kaguya's face as she slowly descended to the side. The Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on her smooth, jade-like forehead had already closed.

As she looked at Hyuga Setsuna floating in the air, pain, reminiscence, anger, and hesitation flashed through her eyes.

Bang!

Hyuga Setsuna slowly landed nearby, but his appearance had undergone an enormous transformation. He was practically a different person from before.

His eyes were shut. He wore the same white robes patterned with black tomoe as Otsutsuki Kaguya. Two small horns grew from his forehead, and he had pale skin, long silver-white hair, and delicate yet cold features. His entire body exuded the noble aura of a deity.

When he opened his eyes, a faint blue radiance appeared within his Byakugan and spread into the surroundings. Yet halfway through its expansion, it seemed to lack strength and struggled unwillingly before slowly fading away.

Feeling the abundant power within him, enough to rival a Kage-level expert, Hyuga Setsuna smiled excitedly. Ever since arriving in this world, he had always felt a sense of crisis. Even with Otsutsuki Kaguya as his cheat, that feeling had never faded.

But now, the powerful strength within him had begun to dispel that sense of crisis. Even if this power was a mode formed with Otsutsuki Kaguya's aid, it truly existed within his body.

First, he named his current state "Otsutsuki Mode."

In this mode, he could contend with Kage-level experts. After obtaining abilities from Otsutsuki Kaguya herself, such as "Yomotsu Hirasaka" and "Byakugan: Coercion," even if he could not defeat particularly powerful Kage-level opponents, he could still ensure that he remained undefeated.

At the same time, in this mode, his Chakra attributes changed from the original fire, wind, and lightning into all seven attributes. For some reason, however, they remained separate and had not changed or fused together.

The Byakugan in his eyes had also changed. First of all, the Caged Bird Curse Mark had completely vanished in this mode.

Hyuga Setsuna's Byakugan had also been fully liberated, allowing him to see through and observe in every direction with no blind spots.

Ordinary Byakugan could only observe things within a radius of one kilometer.

But augmented by this mode, Hyuga Setsuna's Byakugan could perceive everything within a radius of ten kilometers, as well as some spatial traversal and overview, including a certain degree of sensing goodwill and hostility.

And because the Byakugan's evolution had not succeeded, he only obtained part of the Tenseigan's abilities: control over "Gravity" and "Repulsion."

As Hyuga Setsuna familiarized himself with his power, he looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya beside him. A mischievous smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips as he raised his left hand.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka."

Yomotsu Hirasaka was an ultimate Space-Time Ninjutsu.

It could open a black, grid-like portal out of thin air, allowing people to travel freely between different spaces. It could be used to attack, disrupt, and ambush opponents, or to evade danger and escape in a crisis.

A pitch-black, grid-like portal suddenly appeared beside Hyuga Setsuna, and he reached his hand into it.

A black portal also appeared behind Otsutsuki Kaguya. A pale little hand stretched out from it and reached for her blue-white hair.

"Thou wishest to use my power against me? Thou requirest discipline."

Otsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan narrowed sharply, releasing a terrifying pressure that directly crushed the little hand reaching for her blue-white hair, along with the spatial passage, into nothingness.

At the same time, strands of moon-white, radiant Chakra Chains appeared around her body and rapidly shot toward Hyuga Setsuna.

"I won't fall to the same move twice."

"Grandmother, let's have a match."

Hyuga Setsuna swiftly floated into the air to dodge the incoming Chakra Chains, excitement written across his face.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack."

A terrifying blue Chakra aura gathered in Hyuga Setsuna's hands, gradually turning into a thick pillar of light and countless solidified fist imprints that blasted down at Otsutsuki Kaguya on the ground.

Even my Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack could be used in this mode?

Watching Hyuga Setsuna attack her from the sky, a trace of complicated emotion appeared on Otsutsuki Kaguya's face. This child really resembled Hamura and Hagoromo.

Rebellious children wielded what they believed to be justice as they crusaded against, attacked, and ultimately sealed the mother who loved them most into a thousand years of loneliness.

After being personally sealed by her own children, no one knew how despairing this woman had been.

In the end, she was merely a pitiful woman.

As Otsutsuki Kaguya recalled those scenes from the past, her gaze gradually turned dangerous.

Since thou wishest so much to compete with me, thou mayest also help me vent the anger in my heart.

A terrifying Chakra aura also gathered in Otsutsuki Kaguya's hands, transforming into an Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack that blasted toward Hyuga Setsuna.

Bang!

At the center of their attacks, fist imprints continuously collided, while terrifying shockwaves spread outward and shook the entire Sealing Space.

"Gravity!"

A pitch-black, grid-like portal appeared behind Otsutsuki Kaguya. Hyuga Setsuna stepped out of it, starlike blue radiance emerging in his eyes as he extended his right hand and shouted.

A terrifying pulling force instantly surged toward the completely unguarded Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Otsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan narrowed. A terrifying pressure enveloped the area and directly dispelled the Gravity. Then she turned around, looking at the blue radiance in Hyuga Setsuna's eyes with great surprise.

With a thought, her Byakugan released a strange power that directly froze Hyuga Setsuna in place before the Yomotsu Hirasaka portal.

"Grandmother, you fell for it."

Watching Otsutsuki Kaguya fly toward him, Hyuga Setsuna wore a sly smile of success. Then, with a bang, he transformed into white mist and dispersed.

The Shadow Clone was a Ninjutsu Hyuga Setsuna had learned from the belongings his father left behind.

"Rabbit Hair Needle."

At the same time, Hyuga Setsuna emerged above Otsutsuki Kaguya's head. His silver-white hair produced countless Chakra-infused needles that shot toward her.

A small portion of his silver-white hair also lengthened and wrapped toward Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Seeing Hyuga Setsuna emerge from the natural environment, Otsutsuki Kaguya understood why she had been unable to find him earlier.

However, this little game was also time to end. Yomotsu Hirasaka swiftly opened before her, and Otsutsuki Kaguya flew into it, vanishing in an instant.

Did she run away using Yomotsu Hirasaka?

"Where will she appear?"

Hyuga Setsuna was just about to use his integration with nature to hide within the natural environment when he discovered that the environment was rejecting him and refusing to let him enter.

With no other choice, Hyuga Setsuna could only vigilantly watch his surroundings to guard against a sudden attack.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation came from behind him. Delight flashed across Hyuga Setsuna's face as he twisted his waist, driving his body forward. His palm quickly clenched into a fist, and he fiercely smashed it behind him with Chakra.

Hmm?

No one?

Had he been tricked?

Seeing only a portal appear before him with no one emerging from it, Hyuga Setsuna stood there in a daze. By the time he sensed the attack behind him and tried to release Repulsion, it was already too late.

A powerful slap, accompanied by a howling gust of wind, struck the back of Hyuga Setsuna's head.

Slap!

With that resounding slap, Hyuga Setsuna shot toward the ground like a meteor.

Boom!

A deafening crash rang out from the earth, accompanied by massive clouds of dust.

Lying in the enormous crater, Hyuga Setsuna felt dizzy and saw stars. The back of his head hurt terribly.

"Grandmother, I lost."

Hyuga Setsuna watched Otsutsuki Kaguya slowly descend and spoke with a bitter smile.

"Thy Byakugan has undergone a mutation even I do not understand. Tell me everything that has happened to thee."

Otsutsuki Kaguya looked solemnly at the disheveled Hyuga Setsuna lying in the crater as she reprimanded him.

"The evolution of the Byakugan... the Tenseigan?"

"I once consumed the Chakra Fruit of the God Tree and became the Ancestor of Chakra. Why did my Byakugan not become the Tenseigan?"

After listening to Hyuga Setsuna's account, Otsutsuki Kaguya wore a somewhat shocked expression, and suspicion flickered in her eyes as if she had recalled something.

"Little Setsuna, send thy Chakra into my body. I wish to verify my conjecture."

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya call him Little Setsuna, Hyuga Setsuna froze for a moment. Then he stood up, placed his hand on her shoulder, and transmitted his Chakra to her.

As Hyuga Setsuna's Chakra entered her body, a tiny sky-blue glow gradually appeared in Otsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan. Yet the instant it emerged, it immediately dissipated, as though it lacked the strength to continue.

"Stop. There is no need to transmit any more Chakra to me."

After sensing that sky-blue glow gradually fade away, Otsutsuki Kaguya spoke with slight disappointment.

Hyuga Setsuna withdrew his Chakra into his body. Seeing Otsutsuki Kaguya deep in thought, he obediently stood before her.

"My Byakugan truly has not evolved to its endpoint. But why has there never been such an example before?"

Otsutsuki Kaguya was deeply puzzled, for no one had ever successfully evolved their eyes into the Tenseigan before.

Her own Byakugan had undergone an enormous evolution after she consumed the God Tree Fruit, yet it had still not become the Tenseigan. Why, then, had it begun evolving toward the Tenseigan after combining with Hyuga Setsuna's Chakra?

"Go familiarize thyself with thy power and train. Once dawn comes in the outside world, thou shalt naturally leave."

Glancing at the obedient Hyuga Setsuna standing beside her, Otsutsuki Kaguya waved her hand and used Amenominaka, directly throwing the unguarded boy into its Ice and Snow Space for tempering and training. She also slightly suppressed his power.

As Hyuga Setsuna was thrown into the Ice and Snow Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya vanished as well.
