As a transmigrator, Izayoi's narrative level was extremely high, at least higher than anyone else on this planet.
A thousand years had passed, and many people believed that the Sage of Six Paths and the Shinobi Sect were nothing more than figures and factions from mythical stories.
But Izayoi knew that they were real.
He also knew that the Sage of Six Paths had a mother and a younger brother.
After the Two Brothers joined forces to seal away their mother, the Sage of Six Paths became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and embarked on a journey of atonement.
As for Hamura Otsutsuki, he married and took concubines, developing his clan by having children.
After the Sage of Six Paths was no longer the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he placed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path on the moon.
To guard the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Hamura Otsutsuki led part of the Otsutsuki Clan to settle on the moon.
The branch of the clan that remained on Earth gradually became the Hyuga Clan over the course of a thousand years.
Just as the Sage of Six Paths possessed the Ultimate Eye Technique, and his two sons had a chance of obtaining the Rinnegan once they achieved Yin-Yang Release.
Hamura Otsutsuki also possessed an Ultimate Eye Technique: the Tenseigan, which held the power of destruction and creation.
As long as his descendants fulfilled conditions similar to Yin-Yang Release, they had a chance of awakening the Tenseigan.
Moreover, unlike the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan also had a secret method of fusing a large number of Byakugan into a Tenseigan.
The Otsutsuki Clan on the moon was destroyed because of the latter method.
At present, only Otsutsuki Toneri should remain on the moon.
When he was three, Izayoi had a sudden flash of insight and temporarily abandoned the idea of copying Naruto Uzumaki's and Sasuke Uchiha's Talent Perks because he had thought of Otsutsuki Toneri.
As the last descendant of the Branch Family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, Otsutsuki Toneri possessed pure Otsutsuki Bloodline. His degree of returning to his ancestors was equal to that of Asura Otsutsuki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
This purity gave Otsutsuki Toneri a talent comparable to the Sage Body.
After Madara Uchiha fused Hashirama Senju's cells into himself, he did not awaken the Rinnegan until he was about to die of old age.
Otsutsuki Toneri, however, needed only a few days to evolve his Byakugan into the Tenseigan.
Upon awakening it, he could enter Tenseigan Chakra Mode, form Truth-Seeking Orbs, use Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and unleash Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, which could cleave the moon apart.
His talent and Chakra were so astonishing that they were even more outrageous than Naruto Uzumaki's and Sasuke Uchiha's.
If he came down from the moon to live on Earth, he would be the greatest cheat of all.
If he also brought down the medium for using the Giant Tenseigan, then unless Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were resurrected, or the Sage of Six Paths intervened, the Ninja World would be his to command.
If he were a little more ruthless and seized Hinata's or Hanabi's Byakugan ahead of time,
there would be no Shippuden. There would only be Toneri's Legend.
Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Toneri was a chuuni shut-in. Until he confirmed that the Ninja World was truly beyond saving, he would not leave the moon before reaching adulthood.
However, Izayoi knew that Otsutsuki Toneri had once visited Earth and the Hidden Leaf Village during his childhood, before his father died, and had secretly seen Hinata once through the medium of the Giant Tenseigan.
He fell in love with Hinata at first sight, but did not disturb her life. Instead, he planned to come down and ask for her hand after reaching adulthood, bearing an ancient promise.
He never expected that his "fiancée" already had someone she liked, leaving him to pine for her alone.
Izayoi had no particular opinion of this foolish chuuni shut-in.
He speculated that Otsutsuki Toneri's visit had taken place when Hinata was three.
After Hinata's third birthday, Hizashi Hyuga had died in place of his brother, causing a subtle change in Hinata's standing.
The personality she displayed afterward made Hyuga Hiashi completely disappointed in his eldest daughter.
Hinata's grandest birthday celebration had been held when she was three.
Thus, Izayoi chose to take a gamble.
He would use his only copy slot on Otsutsuki Toneri.
There would be plenty of opportunities to obtain Naruto Uzumaki's and Sasuke Uchiha's Talent Perks, but there was only one chance to obtain Otsutsuki Toneri's Talent Perk. If he missed it, he would have to wait until two years after Shippuden ended.
The personal information on the Light Screen now showed that Izayoi had made the right bet.
He had not merely wandered around outside the Hyuga Clan compound on Hinata's third birthday. He had been wandering around outside throughout that entire year.
Appearances could deceive, but Talent Perks never did.
He could see the bubbles on his targets. No matter what Otsutsuki Toneri and his father disguised themselves as, as long as they were not puppets or invisible, they could not escape Izayoi's eyes.
Heaven rewarded the diligent. Through Izayoi's efforts and caution,
he finally saw the blind Otsutsuki Toneri and his father in the crowd on Hinata's third birthday, which was also the day the Cloud Village Envoy Group came to the Hidden Leaf Village for the festivities.
The Cloud Village envoy group really was lucky.
However, if the father and son had stayed until nightfall and dared to kidnap Hinata, they would have been finished.
But the father and son merely used the medium of the Giant Tenseigan to take a distant look at Hinata, who had stayed within her clan to celebrate her birthday instead of attending the festivities, and then left the Hidden Leaf Village.
Because Otsutsuki Toneri had been born without eyes, he did not possess the Bloodline Limit Talent Perk.
Nor did he have any other low-level perks. He possessed only one lofty red bubble: Otsutsuki Bloodline.
Izayoi had seen such a perk on members of the Hyuga Clan before, but its color had been different.
The Otsutsuki Bloodline perks on those people had been blue at most.
Even Otsutsuki Toneri's father had only possessed a purple Otsutsuki Bloodline perk, not even a golden one.
Otsutsuki Toneri alone had a perk that surpassed gold and reached the highest known level: red.
Izayoi had not hesitated in the slightest and had copied the perk directly.
Over the next three years, Izayoi began to defy fate.
After extracting Chakra for the first time, Izayoi's Talent Perk Aptitude (Green) upgraded to Super Kage Aptitude (Gold).
As the name suggested, as long as he did not die young and grew up safely, he was destined to become an existence like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
Once he removed Hinata's or Hanabi's Byakugan for transplantation and formed Truth-Seeking Orbs, he would become a Six Paths Level existence.
A few months later, Izayoi unlocked another new Talent Perk—All-Attribute Constitution (Purple).
It turned out that Izayoi possessed the same All-Attribute Constitution as Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Kakashi Hatake.
When he was five, Izayoi unlocked another new perk.
It gave Izayoi quite a fright at the time.
Because... he had activated the Byakugan!
Yes, he had activated the Byakugan, rather than his eyes turning into Byakugan.
Under the influence of the Otsutsuki Bloodline, Izayoi's eyes were like Himawari's: they looked normal in their usual state, but when he activated the Byakugan, the veins at his temples bulged and his pupils turned white.
This discovery let Izayoi breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he might have had to wear Sunglasses all the time, or buy a Cosmetic Contact Lens and put it in like Kakashi Hatake in the original story, who disguised himself as a reporter.
