Naruto: The Byakugan is weak? I’m super strong! Chapter 149

Boom!

It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through the clan leader Kūgetsu’s body. He thought of a possibility, but he became even more worried.

“You’re already dead!”

How was that possible? The strongest in the ninja world, who pioneered the Immortal Path, capable of rivaling the Ōtsutsuki gods, and even surpassing them, Hyūga Kūgetsu, was actually already dead!

None of the current avatars were truly him!

“Hahahahaha, isn’t that a bit tragic?”

The young Kūgetsu gave a bitter laugh, but then a flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes.

“No, to be precise, I didn’t die. I became each and every one of you.”

“Each and every one?”

Clan leader Kūgetsu repeated the phrase, already having some understanding.

“That’s right.

It was too late when I discovered this.

It was on the eve of my impending seclusion to create the Immortal Path.

I noticed this change.

In fact, all my past actions were due to my own ambiguity.

In countless choices, for my own selfish reasons, I became indecisive, cowardly, and uncertain.

These were the many root weaknesses I developed during my human life.

But to live this life again, I tried to change, which led to my decisive side.

I tried to live a thousand different lives, unwilling to miss any opportunity.

So, in this world with clone techniques, I created each and every one of you.

Hahahahaha!

Heaven never seals off all exits. It just so happens that you gave me my last chance.”

The young Kūgetsu said that the clan leader Kūgetsu in front of him was his cowardly side.

But it didn’t displease clan leader Kūgetsu. He highly acknowledged this, because from the moment of his birth.

He was Hyūga Kūgetsu of Konoha, and also to walk among ordinary people as an ordinary person. Naturally, Hyūga Kūgetsu’s main body integrated the side he didn’t want to do into this clone of his.

Just to prevent his main body from suffering more trauma.

“I let each part of myself choose. Finally, the main body began to do whatever it wanted, until it had no choice but to endure the pain of the Caged Bird with the main body. Only then did I understand that this world had given me many shackles, and I couldn’t escape them; I could only break free.

For this, I frantically began to break the Caged Bird. I thought that by doing so, I could regain my freedom.

That day, I broke the Caged Bird, but I was lost and helpless. I also thought about attacking all those who had made me uncomfortable, but I didn’t.

I understood that cowardice and forbearance were not the same thing. I seemed to have a kind of cowardice that couldn’t be erased. I actually didn’t dare to do anything I wanted to do while conscious. So…

I no longer used clones. When I gained the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, I upgraded the Shadow Clone Jutsu to the Bloodline Net.

Those insane sides, including you, were all merged by me and exiled again.

This time, I left nothing behind. Each of you is unique, and as long as you don’t want to, you won’t be taken back.

Because this time, each of you is no longer a clone, but an avatar, a part of me.

Before going into seclusion.

I asked myself more than once.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Abandon all humanity, those cowardice, kindness, hesitation, thought, worry, happiness, joy, anxiety, excitement…

But I didn’t have much time to think. I felt my urgency. After losing more, I discovered a crucial point.

When a person loses all human characteristics, they will move towards godhood. They will act as they please, no longer thinking with ordinary human minds, because everything in this world is not a myriad of living beings in their eyes, but merely small monsters in a game that can be erased.”

The young Kūgetsu looked bright-eyed and clear-toothed, with soaring eyebrows.

The sadness in his eyes, however, was deeper.

“I began to wonder if what I was doing was not good. Was I abandoning cowardice, or kindness and conscience?”

“Perhaps you can overcome cowardice and retain conscience and kindness. There’s no need to abandon them. Abandoning something won’t change your current situation; only change can. Nothing can truly be resolved once and for all. The remaining traces will still leave deep scars.”

Clan leader Kūgetsu advised with some concern.

“Hahahahaha, so, I can’t tell if your current concern is genuine kindness or pure perfunctory behavior, because I truly, in the process of constantly abandoning and severing, have become afraid to change.”

The young Kūgetsu watched the moon gradually rise.

He scoffed, “Because I rely on abandonment to solve problems, I chose this path, becoming an immortal.

In my understanding, a ninja way that endures everything is wrong, but an immortal way that abandons everything is also somewhat wrong.

But at this point, I’m unwilling to endure anymore and chose to abandon everything.

Sometimes I also envy the Ōtsutsuki. They are naturally cold and don’t need to abandon anything, so their divine path is innate, and the immortal path is acquired.”

The young Kūgetsu extended a hand and placed it on clan leader Kūgetsu’s forehead.

“So, when I become an immortal, I won’t take back any avatar. That would hinder my transformation. The clothes hanger, the table, will all exist somewhere in this world at this moment.

When someone questions me and makes me doubt this world, doubt the Immortal Path, I will also choose to abandon such suspicion, and that will make me even more empty.

This is also why you can be preserved. From the beginning, there was no true possibility of abandonment.

When I kill you, it means I will take back these abandoned things.

Therefore, I grew stronger by abandoning you, but in the end, you became inseparable.”

The young Kūgetsu smiled foolishly.

“I’m really foolish, aren’t I? In the end, I left myself with the biggest trouble.”

“You’re not foolish.”

Clan leader Kūgetsu didn’t know what to say.

He only felt extreme bitterness in his heart.

“I’m indecisive yet decisive, I abandon myself without scruples, yet I hesitate and leave behind contingencies.”

The young Kūgetsu shook his head.

He knew that the moment he appeared in Konoha, it meant that his final plan of abandoning everything to become an immortal had failed.

“What do you want me to do?”

Clan leader Kūgetsu asked with resolute eyes.

“Defeat all avatars and take everything back. I want my complete self, just as you said, abandonment is not the right path, and endurance is not achievable. Therefore, change is the right path!”

The young Kūgetsu held up a bright moon in his hand.

It was formed from chakra.

“Before I leave, I will split the World Tree in two. From now on, you and the abandoner will each hold half.

Both can activate terms, but whoever unlocks a term will get the reward.

Unlock as many terms as possible before him to make yourself stronger.

Of course, as soon as you unlock one term and he doesn’t get the reward, he will also guess some things.

That’s why I chose to come to you at this time, because everything that follows will be extremely crucial.”

The young Kūgetsu was like silver-white moonlight scattered across the heavens and earth.

“Help me. I’ve abandoned myself, formatted myself. Only when all of you return will I be myself, a brand new me.”

He smiled, his whole body seeming to merge with the heavens and earth, transforming into a true moon.

“Then I’ll be like a factory reset.”

Hyūga Kūgetsu said mockingly.
