"That was so awkward I could dig out Three Rooms and One Living Room with my toes."
"Crazy person."
"Where did this genius come from?"
"Have the branch family members gone so mad?"
"Who are you calling names? There's no one like that in the branch family! Aren't you main family people the ones going crazy?"
"..."
After the initial shock passed, the Otsutsuki of the main and branch families on the battlefield began whispering among themselves.
Hyuga Hitoshi was not embarrassed in the slightest.
In fact, he could not be bothered to explain anything to these people.
After all, normal people had no way to communicate with the mentally ill.
Thus.
Hyuga Hitoshi snapped his fingers. Blue Light blazed in his eyes, while the Energy Vessel Tenseigan behind him began to shine intensely.
"Praise the Sun!"
In an instant, with the reflection of sunlight, Hyuga Hitoshi's cheap, unstable Tenseigan successfully connected with the Energy Vessel Tenseigan, offsetting the consumption of his ocular power.
As though the moon's surface had been swept by a Golden World, in a single instant, the pupils of every Otsutsuki Clan member were dyed gold, and the scene before their eyes began changing rapidly.
It was a scene from a thousand years ago!
In their minds, the old man named Hagoromo Otsutsuki slowly appeared.
Yet as the ancestor of the Otsutsuki Clan, the words from his mouth shocked every clan member.
"The Otsutsuki Clan on the moon is not the true lineage."
"I once said that after my death, I would watch over the Earth. What I meant was that I would await the descent of Earth's true lineage. Their arrival will save the Otsutsuki from the depths of suffering."
"The Clan Head of the Hyuga Clan shall naturally also be the Clan Head of the Otsutsuki Clan. All who possess the Otsutsuki Bloodline shall revere Hyuga Hitoshi and must not resist. Those who resist are not of my clan. This is my prophecy."
The bizarre dream did not last long.
When they woke, they naturally believed they should obey Hyuga Hitoshi's orders. A strange curse mark also faintly appeared on their foreheads.
Of course, since it was his first time using the Energy Vessel Tenseigan's power, Hitoshi Clan Head was inevitably somewhat unfamiliar with it. Thus, whether from the main family or branch family, those clan members whose thoughts were too extreme naturally died in accidents.
"The effect is pretty good."
Floating in the air with the Tenseigan's power, Hyuga Hitoshi revealed a satisfied smile after one Otsutsuki Clan member devoutly knelt, triggering a chain reaction.
After ten days of Heaven Rewards Diligence, coupled with the occasional state of enlightenment he had entered midway through, he had not only accomplished the feat of creating the Energy Vessel Tenseigan, but had also successfully combined the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami to develop an extremely powerful Brainwashing Technique exclusively for Hamura's descendants.
The power of the Energy Vessel Tenseigan could be said to be the pure Source Power of Hamura's descendants.
Using this Source Power to alter the thoughts of Hamura's descendants and implant a real memory into them was the principle behind this technique.
The medium was everyone's Byakugan. Judging by the results, as long as someone had a Byakugan, it was an Enhanced Version of Kotoamatsukami.
Without a Byakugan, he could only kill the target's Spiritual World, turning this move into a pure genjutsu killing technique.
Of course.
It was not without flaws.
This move did not seem very effective on blind people.
When Hyuga Hitoshi saw Toneri, who had been brought over by Hyuga Gyuba and was completely unaffected, he felt that he should further improve this technique.
"It's you."
Toneri clearly remembered Hyuga Hitoshi's aura. He Trembled Slightly without realizing it, evidently Remembering the fear of being dominated before.
"How dare you! Address him as Clan Head!"
Hyuga Gyuba's expression changed, and he gave Toneri a slap on the buttocks. Children of five or six needed to be properly educated, or their thinking would definitely go astray in the future.
"Forget it, he's only a child."
Hyuga Hitoshi feigned displeasure as he scolded him, then revealed a benevolent gaze and reached out to pat Toneri's head. This was an important part of the Byakugan purification experiment, so he had to be nurtured carefully.
Slowly raising his head, Hyuga Hitoshi looked at the Otsutsuki kneeling below.
This was the first force the Hyuga Clan had absorbed. He had used an opportunistic method, relying on the benefits old man Hamura had left behind, along with his cheap, unstable Tenseigan, to reach this point.
But it was a wonderful beginning.
"Someone will explain the rules of our clan to you later."
Hitoshi Clan Head raised one hand slightly. Majesty mixed with compassion, and the clan members on the ground bizarrely found their bodies standing upright again.
"As for the Caged Bird Curse Mark, this Clan Head will treat everyone equally. Once we are strong enough, once you have demonstrated your loyalty and withstood the test, this Clan Head will erase the marks. You may rest assured of that!"
Though he spoke of treating everyone equally, there would always be closeness and distance, status and rank.
What Hyuga Hitoshi could guarantee was fairness on the surface. The world was simply this real, and he was no exception. His attitude toward the Otsutsuki Clan could not possibly be the same as his attitude toward the Hyuga Clan.
Even so, the Otsutsuki below still felt the mercy of their newly appointed Clan Head. They bowed again, expressing gratitude for Clan Head's benevolence.
It seemed that this Tenseigan version of Kotoamatsukami, exclusively for Hamura's descendants, worked even better than Hitoshi Clan Head had expected.
With both the branch family and main family of the Otsutsuki Clan under his control, the following tasks naturally became much simpler.
"Replan everything. Make reasonable use of the moon's Building Area, construct new Entertainment Venues and Training Grounds, and build a temple to house the Energy Vessel Tenseigan."
"All Otsutsuki Clan members will no longer be divided into branch and main families. They will collectively be known as the Otsutsuki Clan, and may internally be called the Moon Clan. Everyone will be broken up and regrouped. For now, their rank will be placed below the Hyuga Branch Family, and future contributions will earn promotions."
"Also, while rebuilding the Hyuga Clan Land in Konoha, bring over the Elderly, Weak, Women, and Children first, along with the Supplies. At the same time, have the Konoha clan members keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention as much as possible."
Occupy the moon and bring over the clan members.
Then restore the severed inheritance, raise the clan members' Combat Power, and once the overall quality of the clan improved, rule the Shinobi World once more. That was the Hyuga Clan's future development plan.
The rate at which clan members could grow stronger was limited. Not everyone had cheats like Hyuga Hitoshi, but that did not mean they had to proceed step by step.
Research into the inheritance Hamura had left behind, as well as improving the Hyuga Clan's bloodline, also had to be put on the agenda.
At this thought, a person appeared in Hitoshi Clan Head's mind.
As Clan Head, he was busy with state affairs. He could not spend every day in the Research Lab. It was time to hire a scientist from outside.
But before that, he still had one more thing to do.
His figure flashed. After arranging the Hyuga Clan's upcoming work, Hitoshi Clan Head reappeared in the Secret Chamber Hamura had left behind.
Compared to before, the Secret Chamber now seemed somewhat empty. After all, the sealed Byakugan had almost all been absorbed by the Energy Vessel Tenseigan.
But correspondingly.
Emptiness meant that hidden secrets could be discovered.
Step by step.
In the end, Hyuga Hitoshi stopped before a transparent "wall."
Rather than a wall, it was more accurate to call it a barrier!
The power left behind by the Sage of Six Paths upon it was deeply moving.
It was only upon seeing this barrier that Hyuga Hitoshi understood that Hamura's Secret Chamber had actually been built beside the core of the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei!
Perhaps it had been left behind when he once sealed his Own Mother. Now, it had instead benefited Hyuga Hitoshi.
The next moment.
Hitoshi Clan Head's gaze became much sharper as his terrifying ocular power erupted instantly!
At last, through layer upon layer of seals.
He "saw" the woman who had been his neighbor for ten days.
Kaguya Otsutsuki!
