"Big Brother, it's time to get up! It didn't snow today, so we should go on a mission!"
As usual, Hanabi pushed open Izayoi's door and climbed onto the bed, ready to tickle his nose with her bangs to wake him up.
The next second, Hanabi saw Izayoi lying on the bed with his eyes wrapped in white bandages. Her expression immediately turned anxious. "Big Brother, what happened to your eyes? Are you hurt? I'll go call Sister and Sister Karin back right away!"
As she said this, Hanabi was so anxious that tears were about to flow.
Before she could get out of bed, Izayoi reached out and pulled his little sister-in-law into his arms, smiling. "Big Brother is fine, my eyes are just evolving."
"Eyes evolving?"
Hanabi was slightly stunned, then she lay on Izayoi's body and asked doubtfully, "Big Brother, do you have a dōjutsu too?"
"Yes, this is Big Brother's biggest secret. Currently, only Hinata and your father know." Izayoi smiled. "Does Hanabi want to know?"
"Mhm mhm..."
Hanabi nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of anticipation as she asked, "Is this secret related to the conversation between Father and Big Brother last year?"
"Sort of." Izayoi nodded and smiled. "This state where Big Brother can't see might last for a few days. This period is also Big Brother's weakest time, so Hanabi must not tell anyone else. Before Hinata comes back, I'll have to trouble Hanabi to take care of Big Brother."
Hanabi's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly, "No problem, Hanabi will definitely take good care of Big Brother."
"I'll send a Shadow Clone back now to tell Father. Hanabi will stay here for the next few days."
Just like Hinata two years ago.
Hanabi, who was practically raised by Izayoi, felt that Izayoi was a towering hero in her heart, as reliable as a mountain.
The sense of security he provided was something her father couldn't even come close to.
The feeling of suddenly needing to take care of someone who had always taken care of her was very novel.
However, compared to Hinata, who bore the responsibility, Hanabi found it very fun.
So, she used the method she used to take care of children during D-Rank missions to treat Izayoi like a child.
"Big Brother, are you thirsty? Do you want Hanabi to pour you some water?"
"Big Brother, are you tired lying in bed? Do you want Hanabi to use the Transformation Technique and help you go for a walk outside?"
"Big Brother, do you want something to eat?"
"Big Brother..."
Hanabi chirped like a sparrow in Izayoi's ear.
At first, she lay patiently beside Izayoi.
After a while, she started burrowing around in Izayoi's quilt, changing positions while asking questions non-stop.
She was just like a child with hyperactivity.
Izayoi knew she wanted to take care of him and didn't disappoint his little sister-in-law's expectations.
Every time his little sister-in-law asked a question, Izayoi would smile and nod. "Okay, then I'll trouble Hanabi."
"Hehe... It's no trouble at all, Big Brother can order Hanabi around as much as you want." Hanabi immediately became excited, her emotional value completely filled.
So, Hanabi kept pouring Izayoi water, getting him snacks, and even used the Transformation Technique to change her height so she could help him walk around outside the room.
In reality, Izayoi didn't need Hanabi to take care of him at all.
This was the final Fetal Movement of the Tenseigan.
As long as this Fetal Movement was completed, Izayoi's strength would surpass the Super Kage level and reach a truly different dimension, which was the Six Paths level.
To ensure this Fetal Movement went smoothly, Izayoi brought back half of his Wood Clones, keeping them in the underground base. They would take turns using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the Yin Nine Tails to absorb Chakra, then return and continuously input Wood Release Chakra into the earth for twenty-four hours to see if any White Zetsu clones were lurking in Konoha using the Mayfly Technique.
The other Wood Clones that didn't need to input Wood Release Chakra into the earth used the Tenseigan's long-distance vision and x-ray vision to monitor everyone in Konoha, looking for anyone acting suspiciously.
If anyone behaved strangely, the Wood Clones would immediately use the Wood Transformation Technique to capture and seal them.
The remaining Wood Clones outside were monitoring Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Obito, and Toneri Otsutsuki.
The barriers within the traditional buildings had also all been opened.
Unless someone could hide in another dimension to spy on him and possessed the strength to threaten the Wood Clones and Human Puppet army, no one could stop Izayoi's final Fetal Movement.
Madara Uchiha's Limbo Shadows could do this, but the Tenseigan of Izayoi's Wood Clones, like Sasuke Uchiha's Six Tomoe Rinnegan, could see the existence of the Limbo Shadows.
Izayoi's Wood Clones had already confirmed this when Madara Uchiha used Limbo to "educate" Itachi Uchiha.
Furthermore, Izayoi's Fetal Movement only temporarily weakened the power of the Tenseigan, but it didn't affect Izayoi's ability to use Wood Release and other abilities.
His strength was still at the Super Kage level.
Perhaps there were still people in this Shinobi World who could threaten him, but they couldn't do anything against him since he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
So, unlike the previous Fetal Movement where he stayed in the underground base, Izayoi was very cautious in secret during this Fetal Movement, while appearing very casual on the surface.
"Izayoi-kun, what's wrong with your eyes?"
In the afternoon, Hinata and Karin returned from work to cook.
Karin was also startled by Izayoi's bandaged eyes. She quickly ran over, rolled up her sleeves, and said with a worried expression, "When did you get injured? Quick, bite me and see if we can heal it with physical healing!"
Hinata, on the other hand, rarely pouted slightly, looking somewhat jealous at Izayoi who was being attended to by her sister.
Her exclusive task was gone!
However, Hinata's mood quickly became cheerful again.
Hanabi said, "Sister Karin, Big Brother is fine. He's just awakening a dojutsu."
"Dojutsu?"
Karin was slightly taken aback, her expression surprised. "Isn't Izayoi-kun a descendant of the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan? How does he have a dojutsu too?"
"Yeah, Big Brother, what's going on?" Hanabi also looked at Izayoi with a puzzled gaze.
"You'll know when I'm better," Izayoi said with a smile.
Hinata reminded him with a serious face, "Remember, this is Izayoi-kun's biggest secret. Besides the three of us, no one else can know, including the Hokage-sama and Shizune-san!"
Seeing Hinata's expression, Karin immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly nodded, assuring him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let it slip."
"Big Brother has already reminded me," Hanabi echoed.
Hinata nodded in satisfaction, then asked Izayoi, "Izayoi-kun, how about I take some time off to come back and take care of you? Or I could leave a Shadow Clone at home?"
"No need, I have a feeling this time it won't take long to complete," Izayoi said with a confident smile. "I've already made arrangements for Hanabi to look after me. You two just carry on as usual."
"Alright."
Hinata and Karin didn't insist.
As the Hokage's secretaries, they couldn't just take time off whenever they wanted, or it would attract even more attention.
So, Hinata pulled Hanabi aside and instructed her on how to take care of Izayoi.
Learning that Izayoi's eyes were undergoing a transformation and required quiet rest, and that she absolutely shouldn't disturb him if he wasn't talking to her, Hanabi suddenly understood and felt a bit guilty.
After being alone with Izayoi, the little sister-in-law instantly transformed from a hyperactive child into an incredibly well-behaved one.
Unless Izayoi initiated a conversation, Hanabi would rest her chin in her hands, either sitting beside Izayoi or lying next to him, quietly admiring his handsome and peaceful appearance.
Only when Izayoi was bored would she let loose and play with him.
When Izayoi was tired, she would help him soak in the hot springs, or have him lie down so she could use her pressure point technique to give him a massage.
Just like that, two days passed.
The Tenseigan hadn't completed its final Fetal Movement yet, but Izayoi's Otsutsuki Bloodline (Gold) had already unlocked a new Perk.
"Ding! Your body has undergone a mutation, acquiring the talent Perk [Sky Control (Gold)]. Cannot be decomposed."
At this moment, Izayoi felt as if he had broken free from some shackles, his body as light as a feather.
Without needing the aid of Attraction at all, he could simply float up with a thought.
The previous Izayoi, rather than flying, was more like controlling Attraction to move himself around.
Without Chakra Control (Gold), he wouldn't have been able to do it as freely as the Earth Release: Light Weight Rock Technique.
Moreover, this flying speed couldn't be accelerated.
This was why Nagato would use the Asura Path's ability to accelerate himself when flying.
If the enemy's attack speed was faster than his Chakra control, he wouldn't even be able to dodge.
This was also why Izayoi, despite having a vast amount of Chakra like the sea, didn't dare to fly to the Moon.
Black Zetsu's reason for persuading Madara Uchiha was the same.
But now, Izayoi possessed the ability of free flight.
After growing horns on his head and unlocking the third characteristic of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, Izayoi had finally broken free from the shackles of the food chain and evolved into a creature of another dimension.
Looking at the original work, aside from those with horns on their foreheads or those with horns in their Chakra Mode, no one else possessed the ability to fly.
Flying for Ōnoki and the Second Tsuchikage was merely an Earth Release ninjutsu.
Other abilities that allowed flight were also ninjutsu.
However, flight was a standard ability of the Otsutsuki Clan.
With this ability, Izayoi could now travel to the Moon even without the coordinates for a space portal.
After gaining new abilities, Izayoi didn't play around like a child with a new toy. Instead, he patiently waited for the Tenseigan to complete its final fetal movement.
Perhaps due to the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Colored) perk, Izayoi's third fetal movement only took three days to finish.
January 9th, Year 62 of Konoha, evening.
Under the expectant gazes of Hanabi and Karin, Hinata helped Izayoi unwrap the bandages.
As Izayoi slowly opened his eyes, he immediately saw the expressions on Hanabi and Karin's faces change at a visible speed, becoming utterly dumbfounded.
"Izayoi-kun, you, you..."
Karin pointed at Izayoi's eyes, stammering and unable to speak.
"Gulp..."
Hanabi swallowed, also trembling as she said, "Big Brother, could it be that you..."
"That's right, I am 'Toneri Otsutsuki'."
Izayoi grinned, revealing a smile filled with unprecedented confidence.
Then, his hair seemed to fade, slowly changing from black to white.
Two sharp horn tips also grew on his forehead.
Izayoi held Hanabi and Karin's chins, one in each hand, and smiled, "You've waited a long time. This is my true form."
"So handsome!"
Hanabi and Karin were stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly cheered and threw themselves into Izayoi's embrace.
"Izayoi-kun, you hid it so well, you even kept it from us!" Karin first complained with a wronged tone, then stroked Izayoi's hair and said with a smile, "But the white hair suits you very well!"
"Big Brother, are these real horns?"
Hanabi touched the tips of Izayoi's horns and asked, "Why are they so small and pointy?"
Izayoi didn't speak, but closed his eyes and silently used the power of Shikotsumyaku.
"They're getting bigger, so big, so thick..."
Hanabi and Karin's surprised exclamations reached his ears.
Izayoi opened his eyes, and then a mirror flew over.
In the mirror, Izayoi's horns on his forehead had changed from small tips into a pair of dragon horns.
Immediately, Izayoi's thoughts moved.
These dragon horns, like the shape transformation of Wood Release, extended and wriggled, actually coiling around Izayoi's head, forming a beige crown.
"So... so amazing!" The three girls, including Hinata, exclaimed in admiration.
Izayoi's mouth curved upwards, and he thought to himself, As expected, horns are also bones. As long as they grow out, I can control them with Shikotsumyaku.
This was good news!
Because it meant that Izayoi's horns were not just for decoration; they could turn into weapons harder than steel at any time.
If he mastered Bloodline Kekkai Mora: All-Killing Ash Bones, Izayoi could even shoot them from his horns.
Imagine Izayoi in close combat with an enemy, grappling with them, and suddenly shooting a deadly bone arrow from his head. How fatal would that be?
Only Kaguya Otsutsuki, that naive and sweet girl, had absolutely no combat experience and didn't know how to develop it this way.
What a waste of a treasure!
"You two move aside, I want to try out a new ability."
Izayoi got up and pushed the two women away, then eagerly felt the Tenseigan's new ability.
Just as Madara Uchiha said, the evolution process of the Tenseigan is like the Sharingan evolving from a tomoe Sharingan to a Mangekyo Sharingan, then to an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and finally the test of transcending dimensions.
The first two Fetal Movements of the Byakugan and Tenseigan only unlocked 'ordinary' abilities.
Although these abilities could give Izayoi super-standard combat power, they were still limited to the biological level of this planet, which is the limit of humans.
The last Fetal Movement was the transcendence of dimensions, unlocking interdimensional power, transforming from a human into... a god!
During this Fetal Movement, Izayoi's long-distance vision and x-ray vision were still enhanced.
Now, the entire Shinobi World was within Izayoi's surveillance range.
Besides the basic abilities, Izayoi only unlocked one ability this time.
Its name was—
"Tenseigan Chakra Mode—Activate!"
Izayoi suddenly floated up, and a greenish-blue Chakra aura erupted from his entire body, enveloping him from head to toe, like a spirit.
The horns on his forehead also turned into a greenish-blue crown, worn on Izayoi's head.
"What a magical feeling..."
Izayoi floated in the air, first looking down at the stunned Hinata and the other two women, then looking at his hands covered in the greenish-blue Chakra aura, and murmured, "Right now, I feel like I can do anything!"
It was like entering Sage Mode, where the body and mind become incredibly quiet, as if merging with nature.
Izayoi's current feeling was like Uchiha Obito overcoming the Ten-Tails' will invasion, stepping across the Super Kage level in one go, entering the Six Paths realm for the first time.
Before Izayoi could fully feel the power of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
"Ding! Your body has undergone an anomaly, the talent Perk [Sky Control (Gold)] has completed its sublimation."
Hearing this notification sound, Izayoi couldn't help but frown, then summoned the personal panel that only he could see.
Host: Izayoi
Talent Perks: Otsutsuki Bloodline (Rainbow), Bloodline Limit: Tenseigan (Rainbow), Sage Body (Red), Sky Control (Red), Six Paths Potential (Red), Bloodline Limit: Wood Release (Gold)...
"It's gone..."
Izayoi's expression was somewhat dazed, and he murmured in his heart.
Just as he had guessed, after the Tenseigan completed its final evolution, the Perk Prince of the Byakugan (Red) disappeared.
What made Izayoi feel dazed was that not only the Prince of the Byakugan (Red), but also the Sage Eye (Red) that exploded from Sasuke Uchiha had disappeared.
Now, Izayoi only had three red Perks left.
They were the Sage Body (Red) that he had upgraded himself, the Sky Control (Red) that he had just unlocked, and the Six Paths Potential (Red) which represented potential.
After a moment of daze, Izayoi grinned and thought to himself, No wonder I completed three Fetal Movements before entering my true growth phase. It was indeed the Sage Eye (Red) at work.
From the first Fetal Movement, Izayoi had made a conjecture.
The reason he awakened the Tenseigan so much faster than Toneri Otsutsuki was not only due to the Prince of the Byakugan (Red) but also possibly the Sage Eye (Red).
The former represented purity, while the latter represented the ultimate Yin power. When combined with the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red), which represented the physical body, it was like having two acceleration cheats.
At this moment, Izayoi was very glad that he hadn't fused the Uchiha Bloodline (Purple) from Sasuke Uchiha that he had obtained back then.
Otherwise, the target of the Sage Eye (Red)'s accelerated evolution wouldn't have been the Byakugan, but the Sharingan.
Without the Prince of the Byakugan (Red), Izayoi would probably have had to wait until Shippuden to experience his first Fetal Movement.
Without the Tenseigan's Repulsion and Attraction, and the ability to control countless Puppets, even if Izayoi had obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan with Eternal Eye Power, it would have been impossible to achieve what he had now.
One decision could affect the future direction.
At this moment, Izayoi once again experienced the power of the butterfly effect.
After secretly feeling fortunate, Izayoi felt the abilities brought by the new Perk.
Not long after, a look of realization flashed in Izayoi's eyes, and he praised in his heart, The name is really well chosen!
Izayoi finally understood why the flying Perk wasn't simply the crude [Flight (Gold)], but [Sky Control (Gold)].
Because the potential of this Perk was not just flying.
Pure-blooded Otsutsuki Clan members possessed a talent that even the Perk system hadn't materialized.
That was... Space-Time Talent!
Sky Control also had the meaning of controlling or manipulating space.
The Gold Perk Sky Control allowed Izayoi to have the ability to fly from the start.
If he continued to develop it, the potential of this Perk could allow Izayoi to feel a stronger Space-Time power.
And the now sublimated Sky Control (Red) allowed Izayoi to have the ability to control space from the start.
Izayoi could now manipulate objects within a certain range of space around him without using Attraction, turning them into his weapons.
Once the potential of this Perk was realized, Izayoi could completely do what Hamura Otsutsuki did, creating a spatial channel connecting to the Moon, or even a spatial teleportation gate, and so on...
This Perk was the stepping stone to Bloodline Kekkai Mora.
"Otsutsuki, truly a bunch of cheaters," Izayoi sighed in his heart.
After possessing the two colored Perks, Otsutsuki Bloodline (Rainbow) and Tenseigan (Rainbow), Izayoi could finally understand how big the gap was between his past self and the brothers Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.
