As Kaguya Otsutsuki's sealing vessel.

The moon had existed in the vast universe for over a thousand years.

It floated peacefully above the Shinobi World, adding its own brilliant colors to the universe.

As for the Otsutsuki Clan, capable of Interstellar Colonization, their very surname was a legend.

Yet looking across their entire clan, these people seemed to have more or less something wrong with their minds.

Along With their budget-knockoff descendants, Hamura's Descendants on the moon had clearly inherited those mental illnesses as well.

By now, those mental illnesses had only grown more severe.

On the moon's darkly toned surface, even with its magnificent palaces, there was still a profound sense of loneliness amid the universe.

At a corner where towers and palaces connected, two Otsutsuki clansmen happened to run into each other.

After a brief silence, the Main Family member's expression turned cold. This lowly Branch Family brat actually had not taken the initiative to apologize?

If so, then they would follow tradition.

"What are you looking at?"

The Branch Family clansman, who had been about to walk past the Main Family member, raised a brow. Realizing things were not that simple, he tilted his head and gave a brilliant reply.

"What if I am looking at you?"

"Try looking again."

"I'll f*ck you up!"

"..."

It should have ended with "Then I'll try," but thinking of the recent tensions between the Branch Family and Main Family, the bold Branch Family clansman slapped the Main Family member hard across the face.

His crude move ignited the Flames of War. In an instant, the two noble descendants of Hamura rolled together and began fighting.

But just as their battle reached its peak, several figures appeared like ghosts. They pulled out sacks and directly covered the two men, and after a few blows with clubs, the scene fell quiet again.

They exchanged a signal, dragged the sacks away, and swiftly vanished into a corner to wait for the next destined pair.

The same thing was happening in every corner of the moon.

"Which ones are these?"

Inside a concealed alley.

After glancing at Hyuga Gyuba, who had changed into Otsutsuki Main Family clothing, Hitoshi Clan Head asked. Once he had disabled the barriers affecting the passage, he had successfully brought his clansmen to the moon without seemingly drawing the Otsutsuki Clan's attention.

"Fifty-nine."

Workhorse Jonin replied respectfully.

"Continue."

Hyuga Hitoshi nodded, satisfied with the progress.

"Clan Head."

In the distance, Hyuga Hiashi, who had also changed clothes, approached and bowed.

"The preliminary investigation is complete. There are quite a lot of Moon People. With just the manpower we have..."

Hiashi spoke bluntly.

The Otsutsuki Clan had been bored for over a thousand years. They had probably spent all that time making children.

From the densely packed crowd during the Branch Family and Main Family war in the movie, it was clear that both sides had quite a few people.

"This is a major undertaking. There's no need to rush. Tell the clansmen that while they fan the flames, they must pay attention to their safety."

Hyuga Hitoshi nodded.

Hyuga Hitoshi had his own plans for bringing the moon under his control.

The Shadow Clone disguised as Otsutsuki Kaichu had already brought back definite news. The two sides had gone from being relatively restrained to standing at swordpoint.

The reason for it was still what Hyuga Hitoshi had done that day.

He had not expected that among the brats he controlled Toneri to stab to death, one of them had actually been the young master of the Main Family Clan Head.

That was a little outrageous.

No wonder his manners had been so bad.

Hyuga Hitoshi sighed over it.

The death of the Main Family's young master was absolutely a major event for the peaceful Otsutsuki Clan.

After investigating, they Locked On Otsutsuki Toneri as the suspect. The Main Family Clan Head directly ordered the Branch Family to hand him over for the Main Family to judge.

But as the Branch Family's designated heir, a bloodline mutant born blind once in a thousand years, Toneri's existence was of epoch-making significance to the Branch Family.

It was also Toneri's appearance that made them even more convinced that the world left behind by the Sage of Six Paths should be destroyed.

His pure bloodline was enough to make him the creator god of a new era.

So they could not possibly hand Toneri over.

Thus, the two sides, whose ideals had already conflicted, grew increasingly hostile.

Using his identity as Otsutsuki Kaichu, Hitoshi Clan Head had also learned that Otsutsuki Juren, the Branch Family Clan Head, was conducting research, and its results would completely alter the balance on the moon.

Looking over the movie's plot, it was not difficult to conclude that the Purple Tenseigan was about to appear.

"It only needs one more spark."

Hyuga Hitoshi's Eyes Flashed as his mind raced.

Without question, this was what he excelled at. Getting the already-hostile Branch Family and Main Family to fight was not difficult at all.

However, Hyuga Hitoshi personally felt that the Branch Family using the Purple Tenseigan to wipe out the Main Family was unfair no matter how he looked at it.

A war that had nothing to do with him should be entertaining, not a one-sided crushing victory!

Therefore, a divine artifact like the Purple Tenseigan should be banned.

He also Doesn't Hope that every Main Family clansman would be killed by the Branch Family. That did not align with his Original Intention. Ideally, after creating the Energy Vessel Tenseigan, some Otsutsuki clansmen could be kept for research.

That was the ideal outcome.

To achieve that, getting the Branch Family and Main Family to fight in advance was key. So he had the disguised clansmen continue to Fan the Flames, preferably finding a way to Castrate the Main Family Clan Head. He refused to believe that the enraged Main Family Clan Head would not take the initiative to attack then.

However, plans could never keep up with changes.

Everything he had originally envisioned naturally Underwent a Change when Hyuga Hitoshi secretly infiltrated the Ancestral Hall that enshrined Hamura's memorial tablet.

The scenery around him suddenly changed.

Cold winds blew through Hitoshi Clan Head's flowing hair.

The temple where Hamura would later be worshipped was, at this moment, still merely an Ancestral Hall. Hamura's memorial tablet suddenly began emitting wisps of green smoke.

Slowly, the green smoke Gathered Into a human figure.

Judging from the emptiness beneath the figure, it was clearly a soul.

"My outstanding descendant, the strength of your bloodline far surpasses that of ordinary people."

The illusion created from his remaining Chakra and a trace of his soul within the Pure Land revealed a hint of surprise as soon as it saw Hyuga Hitoshi.

"I'm the Clan Head. It's normal for me to be this badass."

Hyuga Hitoshi held himself in high regard, while not forgetting to put down his lunar compatriots.

"My Hyuga Clan has endured a thousand years of Flames of War. How exceptional are the Genes we have retained? Those mere lunar compatriots obviously cannot compare."

His bluntness caused Hamura Otsutsuki's remnant soul to Fall Silent.

After a long while, Hamura sighed and decided not to argue with a junior.

He had used his remaining Chakra and the power of his Soul Origin to appear not to make small talk with his descendant.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had vanished.

The strange black unidentified substance he had once accidentally discovered, which had spread everywhere.

The war-torn world created by his elder brother.

The bloodline Descendants, who would sooner or later fight fiercely because they had misunderstood his intentions.

All these hidden dangers.

Even at the risk of completely disappearing, he had to use the power of his remaining soul to leave behind a contingency!

The Main Family and Branch Family on the moon both had rather abnormal ways of thinking and could not be entrusted with such an important task. This extraordinarily gifted person who had suddenly arrived on the moon seemed to be his final chance.

After Hyuga Hitoshi spoke briefly with Hamura's remnant soul, he Smiled and chose to Follow One's Heart.

You were the one who suggested it.

Don't you fucking regret it later.

Alright.

Seeing Hamura appear, inspiration suddenly struck Hitoshi Clan Head.

The previous plan should be revised. He decided to write a new script for his compatriots on the moon!
