Chapter 23 Hyuga Byakugan
It was the same experimental base.
Gen Takuno appeared on a huge scroll.
He didn't actually use psychic abilities to get here from the very beginning; he transferred from a place not too far from the battlefield.
It wasn't that the distance was too far to use the psychic technique, but rather that he couldn't notify the crow in time.
So he arranged a shadow clone in advance on a high ground that he was basically sure was safe. If it were in a forest, he might not be able to be sure, since White Zetsu is almost impossible to sense in wood. But the place he chose did not have a single tree.
Even so, White Zetsu's escape techniques were extremely powerful, so he not only checked several times, but also set up a sealing technique to prevent the opponent from hiding in the ground.
Once safety is confirmed, the shadow clone can be used to observe changes in the situation.
For example, if Nagato or Obito's strength exceeds his expectations, then his shadow clone will immediately summon him away.
He wanted a portion of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but certainly not enough to cost him his life.
Things went much more smoothly than Yuan Tuoye had expected, so the shadow clones, intended as a precaution, were not needed.
In the end, the shadow clone simply summoned back the sealing scroll with the spell formula for summoning the artifact, as well as the original body of Gen Takuno, and then used the crows at the experimental base to transfer to the experimental base.
At this moment, what Gen Takuno is holding in his hand is the sealing scroll that seals one of the arms of the Gedo Mazo!
At this point, what he needed to do became clear.
That is to use this Ten-Tails' arm to cultivate a small Ten-Tails that can devour the chakra of the nine tailed beasts!
This is why he rushed to Nohara Rin's place to obtain the Three-Tails' chakra, even if it meant being exposed to White Zetsu.
However, he did not break the seal immediately. Instead, he put the scroll in the "storage room" because he had one more thing to do before he started researching how to cultivate the little ten-tailed fox.
Just as Gen Takuno was about to leave, he paused and came to the materials that had previously fused with the Hyuga branch family bloodline using the Oni-Garuru Technique.
The bird's life is still stable, and there are no signs of it being a caged bird. Of course, its eyes are still the most ordinary eyes, not white eyes.
Because the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family, which merged with them, had been destroyed by the Caged Bird Seal.
Furthermore, the Oni-Garra technique cannot restore the Byakugan.
Yuan Tuoye paused suddenly. Perhaps this was the reason?
Is the Caged Bird Seal itself based on the Byakugan? This explains why Hyuga Hizashi, resurrected by Orochi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, still possesses the Caged Bird Seal.
Because Hyuga Hizashi, who was summoned, possessed the Byakugan, the Caged Bird Seal, which directly affects the Byakugan, naturally reappeared.
These individuals used the Oni-Garra Technique to fuse with the bloodline of the deceased Hyuga branch family. Since their Byakugan had already been destroyed, the cursed seal also disappeared after use.
So, another question arises: if they were to install a white eye, would the Caged Bird Seal reappear?
Theoretically, it seems unlikely, since the Hyuga main family's Byakugan shouldn't have the Caged Bird Seal, but what if there is a problem?
Yuan Tuoye had a bit of a headache. To verify this question, wouldn't he still have to find someone from the Hyuga main family to deal with?
Given this option, why would he need to fuse with the bloodline of the Hyuga branch family? Wouldn't it have been much simpler to just fuse with the bloodline of the Hyuga main family?
Or perhaps the spell on the caged bird is actually designed to work on the soul? That would be even more difficult to test, as the soul is always a very mysterious and difficult-to-study entity.
Or, could we modify Oni-Garaku's technique and only fuse with the body?
Modifying the Ghost Sprout Technique is probably very difficult and will take a lot of time. Which is easier, this or replacing someone's head?
After all, the idea of surviving after having a head transplant seems to be something only Orochimaru's research could possibly demonstrate.
"Orochimaru Yao..."
Minamoto Takuno pondered the possibility of obtaining ninjutsu from Orochimaru, who didn't seem like Hiruko.
Now that he has resolved the issue of chakra levels, he will definitely be able to unleash the power of a Jonin, and even an elite Jonin is not out of the question.
However, this level of strength is still far from enough to deal with Orochimaru.
The opponent currently doesn't have as many forbidden techniques as in later generations, and their strength hasn't reached its peak (not counting Boruto), but they are at least at the level of a beginner Kage.
For Orochimaru to obtain resources from the other party would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.
but……
"It's not that we can't give it a try." Yuan Tuoye pondered the timing and reasons for the other party's defection. He didn't need to be stronger than the other party; he only needed to be able to stop them.
Moreover, during this period, his strength will experience a rapid increase, and he may not necessarily be no match for Orochimaru.
Of course, he felt that he had a very high chance of not being able to kill Orochimaru, and the title of "King of Survival" in the Naruto series was no joke.
If Orochimaru's forbidden techniques and the Caged Bird Seal are used, then Genji Takuno will have no choice but to accept his fate.
Yuan Tuoye estimated that this could indeed be listed as option one, and then couldn't help but wonder if there were any other options.
There should always be backup plans. If we don't get the backup plan, we can use it. Only if all else fails should we choose to abandon the experiment and fuse directly.
For example, capturing a member of the Hyuga main family?
He hadn't considered this option before because he wasn't strong enough, and if he were exposed, it would be tantamount to betraying the village.
Betraying the village wasn't a big deal, but that was after he had finished everything he did in Konoha.
"It doesn't seem like there's no chance," Minamoto Takuno murmured. The Cloud Ninja had tried to kidnap Hinata Hyuga before, which proved that they would target Hinata.
Of course, it seems difficult to get Hinata Hyuga with Hiashi Hyuga by her side, but the problem is that the Hyuga main family is not limited to Hiashi Hyuga.
That's right, although the Hyuga main family is not large, it is definitely not just one branch.
From Yuan Tuoye's perspective, this is the biggest injustice. If it were just that the clan leader and his successor did not have the Caged Bird Seal, there might not be such a strong sense of resistance. After all, people are more concerned about inequality than scarcity.
The clan head and successor are the leaders of the Hyuga clan, so it's normal for them to have some privileges. Even if there are still some people who are dissatisfied, there will be far fewer. But what's going on with those members of the Hyuga main family?
Why don't they have the Caged Bird Seal? But the clan leader's brother needs to have the Caged Bird Seal carved on him?
It would be strange if such things didn't arouse dissatisfaction.
However, Minamoto Takuno was just thinking about it casually. He wasn't a member of the Hyuga clan, so he didn't need to deal with this kind of chaos. At that moment, he was thinking...
Perhaps he could take advantage of the chaos to attack other branches of the Hyuga main family and then shift the blame to the Cloud Ninja?
