Chapter 277 Isn't Hanabi a Konoha ninja?
Is it really the peach style?
Black Zetsu confirmed Momoshiki's identity while suppressing the overflowing chakra from the Karma seal.
After all, her consciousness was transferred over after Bai Mo finished dealing with Urashiki and Momoshiki; she had no idea what had happened before that.
Even if you learn it from someone else, there's no way to verify its authenticity.
That's confirmed now.
Since this really is Momoshiki's wedge, it means that what Bai Mo said about the future is quite credible.
The characteristic of the Karma seal is that it compresses the information of the Otsutsuki clan into a package, places it in a suitable container, and then unseals it. The container's body will gradually be transformed into the Otsutsuki clan, and finally the container's consciousness will be erased, and the Otsutsuki will be successfully resurrected.
Orochimaru, who also possesses the ability to revive and can be resurrected through the cursed seal, completely disregards the characteristics of the Karma seal.
The sole function of the wedge is to preserve the strength of the body's blood vessels.
However, this has resulted in a host of side effects.
The most critical factor is the speed of wedge decompression, which is pitifully slow.
Boruto is already considered to be of a bloodline quite close to the Otsutsuki clan, yet Momoshiki hasn't been able to revive even after being relieved for so long.
Some might think that "such a long time" is an exaggeration, since Momoshiki only stayed in Boruto's body for about a year before having to give up on reviving the dying Boruto.
But think about how long it takes Orochimaru to de-stress.
With a simple exorcism seal from Sasuke, Orochimaru emerged on his own, without even needing to possess someone else's body.
Taking over White Zetsu's body and becoming one with him was a matter of just a few breaths.
However, slow decompression also has its advantages.
Just like now, when it's being studied, it can be easily suppressed.
The wedge decompression will gradually transform the container body into the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan. This process can be accelerated, but it is irreversible and unstoppable.
Because of this, Orochimaru was able to extract Momoshiki Otsutsuki's cells from the cells that had been transformed by White Zetsu.
Then there are the few gene programming projects that he and the second generation have initially researched...
—The future Orochimaru will be able to modify Mitsuki's genes to create a perfect Sage Mode carrier that is naturally suited to him, which is the result of this research.
This time, Orochimaru is going to modify the extracted Otsutsuki genes as well. He'll change two things: the decompression rate and the decompression password.
Bai Mo had told Orochimaru that there were two ways to imbue a Karma with Otsutsuki.
The black ones are real containers, while the white ones are pure power, unable to contain a soul.
Once the decompression code of a cell is cracked, it can be transformed into a white wedge.
Thanks to ample prior preparation, Orochimaru completed the finished product in just one afternoon.
A gene jar, no bigger than a finger, contained a white, rhomboid object—simply a white wedge.
It is currently inactive. Once activated, it will continuously release the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan.
The first phase of the experiment has ended.
Everyone relaxed and sat down in the rest area.
I've already notified Hanabi and asked her to come over. Next, I'll come and see if Hanabi can enter Tenseigan mode.
"The Tenseigan is awakened by those with high bloodline purity, so if Hanabi can do it, does that mean Hiashi and Hinata can too?"
"Also, Neji's bloodline and Byakugan were suppressed because of the Caged Bird Seal. If he didn't have the Caged Bird Seal, wouldn't he be able to do it too, given his talent and bloodline?"
During his break, Hiruzen Sarutobi presented his conjectures and questions to Orochimaru.
"Teacher, you're right, it's theoretically possible."
Orochimaru gave his approval.
"That……"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat excited.
If that were true, wouldn't Konoha gain four more world-destroying combatants?
At that time, the Hyuga clan will truly become what they themselves claim: "The Hyuga are the strongest clan in Konoha."
"But it's just theory. Neither I nor Bai Mojun will easily hand over this power to them."
Orochimaru shattered Hiruzen Sarutobi's illusions.
"Why? Isn't this a force that can be used to fight against the Otsutsuki clan?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression froze.
"We don't lack ways to acquire power; what we lack is a continuous stream of like-minded people."
For these people, we will seek to help them achieve a leap in power.
Teacher, do you think Hiashi Hyuga and his daughter are like-minded people?
If we give them power, will they turn around and help others to oppose us?
As for Hyuga Neji, the day Bai Mo unleashed his Caged Bird Seal was the day he was qualified to join; there's no need to overthink it.
Orochimaru's explanation was very realistic.
You're not an ally, why would we boost your strength for no reason?
"...What about Hanabi? Isn't she a member of the Hyuga clan?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment before asking.
In his view, wasn't Hyuga Hanabi also a Konoha ninja and a member of the Hyuga clan?
She wasn't a descendant of the Hyuga clan who was adopted by Bai Mo.
As the second young lady of the Hyuga family, who has been loved by the Hyuga clan since childhood, is Hyuga Hanabi a kindred spirit?
"That's hard to say."
Orochimaru glanced at Bai Mo, who was sitting opposite Black Zetsu, and hesitated for a moment.
"Is it that it's hard to say, or that you have nothing to say?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a faint smile.
In his view, Orochimaru had run out of tricks and had nothing left to say, and he had discovered his weakness.
"Never mind, teacher, you can take a look at this yourself."
Orochimaru took out a video recording, put it into a player, and placed the screen in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What is this?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment.
"The children were bored, so they imitated short plays from movies, which they plan to perform during the New Year."
"Oh? Let me see."
Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and looked at the screen, like a kind elder looking at a junior.
however……
"What is this thing?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened.
Why would they ask someone to perform this on stage during the Lunar New Year?
Is this the simple and honest folk custom of the rogue ninja organization?
On the stage, all you could see was Ringo Ameyuri dressed as Shirai Mo—well, she didn't use a transformation technique, because you can only tell it's a performance if you don't use a transformation technique.
Strangely, only Bai Mo's character didn't use a transformation spell; the others didn't have such complicated transformations.
Is it to prevent the true feelings from being revealed?
on the screen.
Hinata Hanabi knelt on one knee, as if pledging allegiance.
However, he didn't say a word; he conveyed everything through his actions and expressions.
Wow, it's a pantomime, quite artistic.
however……
Next, the plot becomes somewhat familiar.
Led by the Hyuga clan, the traditionalists of Konoha opposed Bai Mo's reforms of the ninja world.
Hinata Hanabi held up a sign with the word "capacity" crossed out, looking melancholy. Then, she activated her Byakugan, unleashed her modified Hard-Gentle Fist, and began the night of the massacre.
In the end, Hiashi Hyuga was killed by her right in front of Hinata.
At that moment, Hanabi wiped her eyes, put on colored contact lenses, and suddenly spoke to Hinata: "My foolish older sister, run away, run away, and live an ugly life until you have eyes like mine, then come find me~"
