Replicating the Byakugan!

Ever since Hinata Kōgetsu arrived in the ninja world, soul-transmigrated into a small courtyard in the town of the Hinata clan’s branch family, not a day went by that he didn’t think about how to gain his freedom.

Through the Mist Village Collapse Plan, he obtained a Byakugan.

Then, with lightning speed, he took down Grass Hidden Village.

Using the technology he had accumulated for a long time and the experimental equipment there, he began the replication of the first Byakugan!

With the experiment’s success, Kōgetsu would no longer have any defects in this body.

In the current version, where the Ōtsutsuki had not yet descended, the most significant drawback was genjutsu.

Although his spiritual power and perception were already strong enough, even among the highest attributes on his panel, for Hinata Kōgetsu, the Mangekyō’s genjutsu was always a limitation.

“Next, to retain the Byakugan and also be immune to genjutsu, the best result should be to possess both the Tenseigan, known as the Eye of Power, and simultaneously the Rinnegan, known as the Eye of Technique.”

Kōgetsu rose from his chair, stealthily moving through the village in the manner of Uchiha Madara.

“For the Tenseigan, my current Byakugan is still not pure enough, and I also need the Uchiha clan’s chakra.”

The Tenseigan required many things. First, a pair of pure Byakugan, plus the Ōtsutsuki clan’s chakra.

Hinata Kōgetsu had no worries about the Byakugan now; once the cloning experiment succeeded, he could replicate it infinitely.

The Uchiha clan’s bloodline chakra was the most crucial.

Even if he wanted to awaken the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, he would need the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan as a foundation.

Alternatively, he could just gouge out Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s eye.

Born in the ninja world, eyes were basically ready for use. If Kaguya could use them, Kōgetsu naturally could too.

“First, gather the Tenseigan. As for the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, I’ll just use Kaguya’s.”

Kōgetsu continued to ponder.

“If the second pair of Byakugan I use is also my replicated one, it’s just one plus one, not necessarily pure enough. Ōtsutsuki Toneri was born without eyes and could only take Hinata Hanabi’s. Instead of replicating one and risking a decrease in quality, it’s better to increase the purity.”

Kōgetsu looked up at the azure sky.

It was currently midday, with the scorching sun overhead, and the bright moon had not yet risen.

But in Kōgetsu’s eyes, he seemed to already see Ōtsutsuki Toneri waving from the moon.

“Speaking of which, the ‘Body’ path also requires me to fight the Uchiha clan. It’s time to find an opportunity.”

Who?

Who met the requirements and could unlock the entries fastest?

Kōgetsu suppressed this thought, quietly awaiting the successful replication of the Byakugan.

“Obtain a pair of sufficiently pure Byakugan, obtain the Uchiha clan’s chakra.”

Hmm?

Something felt wrong.

Hinata Kōgetsu thought it over and over. Indeed, he only lacked the Uchiha clan’s chakra to gather all the descendants of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

But wasn’t Ōtsutsuki Toneri an Ōtsutsuki descendant?

Wouldn’t it be best to just start with him?

“How wonderful, thank you, Ōtsutsuki Toneri.”

Kōgetsu was already looking forward to it, to how heartwarming that day’s scene would be.

…

Three days later.

The task force successfully returned to Konoha.

Yamato felt completely numb, but the village also received the mission receipt from Grass Hidden Village.

“Overall, it was executed very well. Grass Hidden Village is very grateful to you.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very pleased. These children were performing a C-rank mission for the first time, and they had done quite well.

“I just accepted a C-rank secret letter mission. This time, Kōgetsu should be more well-behaved.”

Yamato walked out of the office with a look of despair.

“Another C-rank mission?”

Kohiru was a little unhappy. They had only been back for two days.

Were they leaving the village again?

She really missed her family; even before leaving, there was a child’s sense of separation.

“A secret letter, can’t two people do it?” Sai said calmly.

“This isn’t the Anbu, nor is it the Root!” Yamato had a headache. In fact, Anbu missions weren’t always two-person teams. If it was a clear combat mission, multiple people would cooperate. Two-person teams were usually within the village for faster action.

“Missions are a ninja’s duty.” Kōgetsu nodded seriously.

What was the big deal?

If he didn’t complete ten missions, the ‘Wisdom’ path’s tasks would be stuck, leaving him at a loss.

“We are going to Hot Spring Hidden Village to deliver a secret letter. Everyone must be careful on the way, to avoid encountering the Akatsuki.”

The current ninja world had no good thoughts about the Akatsuki. Since the attack on Mist Hidden Village, hostility had surged.

Originally, the Akatsuki had planned to accumulate initial funds through various mercenary missions and war commissions.

Unexpectedly, due to Kōgetsu’s actions alone, they were now struggling financially.

A few employers even used this as a threat to reduce their fees.

Especially Stone Hidden Village, which was currently the only major village secretly dealing with the Akatsuki.

Their method was to continue using them to reduce human losses, completely disregarding the danger of nurturing a tiger.

Therefore, Stone Hidden Village, which was already in no better condition than Sand Hidden Village, was increasingly suspected by other major ninja villages.

Moreover, the Second Mizukage and Second Tsuchikage were sworn enemies back then.

The hostility had not decreased in the slightest.

Some even suspected that the night raid on Mist Hidden Village was instigated by Stone Hidden Village.

All of the above had nothing to do with this mission.

It was merely the Konoha high command’s assessment of the current ninja world situation and the villagers’ and ninjas’ perception of the Akatsuki.

Lacking large amounts of commission fees, the Akatsuki hated Kōgetsu so much that they couldn’t sleep soundly.

Obito was searching day and night for Kōgetsu’s main body, wishing he could flay him alive.

…

Kōgetsu’s shadow clone in the village was only responsible for missions and daily life.

In the evening, under the cover of night, the team, led by Yamato, headed towards their destination.

Hot Spring Hidden Village, this place was truly not great.

It was one of the few villages that had been severely abused and intimidated by Kōgetsu.

Although it once had the rogue ninja Hidan, Hot Spring Hidden Village had briefly tried to maintain peace.

But in reality, even the most humble small villages in the ninja world harbored various fantasies.

Especially the three small villages related to Kōgetsu.

Grass Hidden Village’s interior was extremely chaotic, cracking down on various ninja techniques from other villages every day.

It even opened the “Hozuki Castle” prison, thinking it could house all the rogue ninjas in the world.

In the eyes of the major ninja villages, it was already a grasshopper after autumn, soon to perish.

It was showing off, even opening the ninja world’s largest prison.

Just daring to claim to crack various ninja techniques was digging its own grave.

Waterfall Hidden Village.

Kōgetsu thought carefully; Kakuzu had become a rogue ninja many years ago.

After reviewing a large amount of ninja world data, he confirmed his thoughts.

After all these years, Waterfall Hidden Village had still not risen again, truly falling into decline.

After its secret technique was stolen, even with the Hero Water and a tailed beast, a village that was harsh and cruel to its own people could not become the Sixth Great Ninja Village.

As for Hot Spring Hidden Village, Hidan had become an experiment of the Jashin sect, and they still thought that as long as they loved peace, they would not be destroyed.

In fact, when war broke out, the first thing a major village would do was flatten the fence-sitters.

Not being recognized by anyone meant they could turn coat at any time.

Konoha and Sand Hidden Village would not tolerate Hot Spring Hidden Village’s existence; it was currently just a buffer zone between the two.

Therefore, Kōgetsu could roughly guess the content of the secret letter.
