Naruto: The Byakugan is weak? I’m super strong! Chapter 154

One day ago.

Konoha.

Hyuga Kōgetsu had already made a certain decision.

He calmly folded all the bedding.

He cleaned the house once.

Not a single speck of dust clung to the inside or outside of the small courtyard.

“Next time I come back, I don’t know when that will be.”

Kōgetsu looked at every detail in the house.

He was truly, truly surprised!

It turned out he had already developed feelings for this place.

“If there really is a next time, then I must live this life more easily. All this struggling and fighting is truly boring.”

Hyuga Kōgetsu walked out of the small courtyard.

The cherry blossom trees showed no movement; it was too cold right now.

Occasionally, a few snowflakes drifted down.

Kōgetsu walked to the outside of a house.

Hinata was still practicing her punches; she always wanted to become stronger so she could help him.

Kōgetsu watched quietly, thinking, if he were just an ordinary person in Konoha, and met a girl like her, would they also walk through a complete life together?

On a snowy day, would it be especially beautiful?

Would they have a few children?

He didn’t know.

How could one constantly hypothesize about a path never taken? That was merely the fantasy of regret.

Kōgetsu chuckled self-deprecatingly, seeing Hyuga Neji standing by the wall with his arms crossed.

“Where are you going?”

“Just for a walk, nowhere in particular.”

Kōgetsu flatly denied it.

“I saw it, you specifically locked the door. Actually, everyone sensed it. This world is different from before, and you must have a heavy burden, right?”

Neji smiled. He didn’t know what Kōgetsu was enduring alone, but if one person had to walk alone in the darkness of Konoha, or even the darkness of the ninja world.

Walking alone in solitude wasn’t cruelty; it was the inevitable destruction of humanity.

Whoosh whoosh.

One door after another opened.

People watched Hyuga Kōgetsu’s back with concerned gazes.

They all conveyed their concern with their eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. Of course, if I don’t return, please, you must continue to become stronger and spread the Senjutsu that possesses humanity throughout the world!”

Kōgetsu smiled, taking one last look back at the small courtyard.

Suddenly.

Hyuga Hiashi appeared in the courtyard.

Hinata looked up, her eyes already misty with tears.

“Go, don’t force yourself. He actually needs the strength of more people.”

Hiashi’s words gave Hinata her final courage.

“Sister!”

Hyuga Hanabi didn’t understand what kind of enemy Kōgetsu was going to face.

But she understood that Hinata had a deep concern in her heart.

“Kōgetsu-kun!”

Hinata called out to Kōgetsu at the end of the Hyuga clan street.

“Please, you must come back, bringing my share, back to everyone’s side!”

“I will.”

Kōgetsu let out a breath. Well, when would he be back next time?

He walked down street after street.

Kōgetsu saw the BBQ restaurant. He had eaten BBQ there with his comrades, chatting about this and that. Naruto, that idiot, always liked to freeload, but he was a rare friend.

Shikamaru was always too smart, but he was wise in his foolishness, always disliking to show it.

Chōji was a pretty good eating buddy.

Tenten, she probably wouldn’t have any regrets that were hard to predict in this life now.

Lee, he didn’t really like meeting him, because he was too hardworking, always making Kōgetsu feel like he wasn’t doing enough.

But precisely because of that, Lee seemed endearing.

Ino, he wondered if she had any contact with Sai?

As the team leader, Kōgetsu should have perhaps been a matchmaker.

Now, he probably wouldn’t have that opportunity.

Shino’s Kiba, Shino’s Akamaru.

Those two shouldn’t miss out on too much.

Sasuke, he would obtain the power he sought. Perhaps, one day he would also find his clan members in that small village.

Indeed.

Everyone he could no longer see was actually hiding in a village, waiting for those lost in the human world to come searching.

But the later they went, the better, so they could rest easy.

Preferably, lying in a rocking chair, rocking until their breathing stopped.

There were many, many more stories.

Hyuga Kōgetsu couldn’t finish them.

He suddenly felt a bit reluctant.

Yes.

He didn’t want to leave this place.

Even Shino would come to mind.

“Kōgetsu-nii! Are we friends?”

Naruto’s voice appeared in his ears.

Hyuga Kōgetsu passed by the Ninja Academy.

But he saw nothing.

Ichiraku Ramen’s business was very good.

But Kōgetsu didn’t go. As the saying goes, dumplings before a journey, noodles upon return.

He’d wait to eat when he came back.

He turned and walked out of the village.

This place wasn’t particularly great, but it just so happened that a few people had been by his side when he was at his weakest.

Healing each other was the meaning of human existence in this world; this was the meaning of family, comrades, and lovers!

Village entrance.

Kōgetsu arrived alone, and would leave alone.

But as he walked outside the village, figures had already appeared there. They each had their own expressions, smiles on every face, and some had tears in their smiles.

“Kōgetsu, you must come back!”

They said in unison. Kōgetsu’s eyes were a little moist, tears welling up, but they ultimately didn’t fall.

How to put it?

He used to live in a house filled with games, novels, and comics.

At that time, Hyuga Kōgetsu was very happy, but there was always a sense of loneliness.

Perhaps it was a sense of internal misalignment.

“Perhaps this is all just a dream of mine, a dream of traveling to another world before death. Perhaps my previous life was the dream. Now, it no longer matters.”

Kōgetsu closed his eyes, his Senjutsu continuously increasing.

His realm also continuously ascended.

Until a certain moment.

Kōgetsu used the Reaper Death Seal to summon the Shinigami.

As the Shinigami slowly floated over, intending to exchange for a fresh soul.

Kōgetsu, however, wore a smile.

The Shinigami suddenly frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

The next moment.

Kōgetsu’s body transformed into a spirit, holding the Shinigami’s hands, and together they stepped into the Shinigami’s realm amidst the Shinigami’s fear. This was also the end of the Pure Land.

“He disappeared.”

Tsunade and Jiraiya were a little surprised. Kōgetsu’s disappearance just now was like Katō Dan’s.

However, Katō Dan couldn’t transform his body into a soul, but Kōgetsu did it with ease!

“He went to another world.”

…

Pure Land.

The path was filled with floating souls.

They had no destination and could not go to the Pure Land.

The Shinigami remained silent, letting Kōgetsu follow beside him, finding that he couldn’t restrain him, and could only accompany him with a resentful expression.

The two drifted continuously in this land of death.

After an unknown amount of time.

They finally stopped by a spring.

The Shinigami sat by the spring, and his entire body began to shed its skin.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into Hyuga Kōgetsu’s appearance.

To be precise, it was Hyuga Kōgetsu from his previous life!

He stared emotionlessly at Hyuga Kōgetsu.

The two met each other’s gaze, an indescribably eerie feeling.

“The origin of the Shinigami is this spring. What emerges from within are the various resentments, greed, hatred, and love of humans who refuse to die.

The so-called eight sufferings of man, the bitterest is the inability to obtain what one desires.

When my previous life died, I belonged to this category, and thus the world of the dead was formed.”

Kōgetsu thought, from this perspective, every Reaper Death Seal used by someone is actually an aggregate formed by countless souls.

“If the Shinigami was born from this, then if Hidan worships his god so much, perhaps one day he will succeed. Is this the truth of the divine path? Is the Ōtsutsuki God in a similar state?”

As Kōgetsu pondered, the World Tree appeared before his eyes, unlocking a new entry.
