"Is this a Chakra Pill?"
Looking at the red fruit in his hand, which exuded a strange aura, Izayoi couldn't help but murmur, "Rather than a pill, it's more like the spiritual fruit from the Naruto world."
Having used Ame-no-Tokotachi to view the past, Izayoi already knew what a Chakra Fruit looked like.
Unlike the blood-red Chakra Pill, a Chakra Fruit was a glittering fruit that contained the life essence of a planet. Eating it made one feel like the will of the planet itself, immortal and indestructible, like a god on Earth.
That was pure energy!
The blood-red fruit in Izayoi's hand was different from the red pellets Momoshiki Otsutsuki refined by absorbing chakra in the Boruto series, and also completely different from the pure and glittering Chakra Fruit. The shape and color of the fruit seemed to emanate an evil and ominous aura.
Compared to the Chakra Fruit, it was more like an Devil Fruit from the neighboring world of One Piece.
However, the two were incomparable.
In Izayoi's Rinne Tenseigan, the four fruit-shaped Chakra Pills contained not only astonishing energy but also countless black substances swirling around them at super high speeds, like a Rasengan.
Red on the outside and black on the inside, at first glance, it looked more like a fruit the devil used to tempt mortals.
If one didn't know, they would surely be startled.
But Izayoi, who already had information about the Chakra Pills, knew that these black substances were... data.
As the name suggests, those who consumed the Chakra Pills would experience a surge in their own data, not only awakening special energies but also extending their lifespan, or even completing a sublimation of their life level, gaining privileges like flight or others.
Unlike the red pills Momoshiki Otsutsuki refined by absorbing chakra, the Chakra Pills in Izayoi's hand were extracted from Kaguya Otsutsuki's body. They were pure God Tree chakra, or you could say a weakened version of the Chakra Fruit.
Even if Izayoi consumed such a fruit, his strength and lifespan would significantly improve.
However, Izayoi did not consume them. Instead, he used Chakra Orbs to create a box, stored the four fruit-shaped Chakra Pills in it, and then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to leave this Other Dimension and return to his home in the real world.
"Hinata, Hanabi, Karin, Shion, put down your work and come home immediately."
At the same time, the voices of Izayoi echoed in the minds of the four women, Hinata, Hanabi, Karin, and Shion, who were busy in the Hokage's Office and at home.
This 'telepathic communication' ability was the chakra communication ability of the Sage of Six Paths Mode.
Hearing Izayoi's voice, the four women showed expressions of surprise and joy: "Izayoi-kun/Big Brother is back!"
Without any hesitation, the four women immediately put down their work and rushed home using their own abilities.
It took Izayoi half a year to trigger Kaguya Otsutsuki's Natural Integration, which was not just a matter of luck, but also because he had been fighting Kaguya Otsutsuki for half a year.
During that time, he didn't dare to rest at all, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find Kaguya Otsutsuki again.
Therefore, Hinata and the other three women had not seen Izayoi for half a year.
If it weren't for the Wood Clone telling them that his main body was safe, the four women wouldn't have been able to sleep soundly for the past six months.
Now that Izayoi had finally returned, the excitement of the four women could be imagined.
Eager to see him, Hinata even forgot to wait for Karin, who had come to handle affairs with her. Using Kamui, she was the first to appear before Izayoi, arriving even faster than Shion, who was trimming the garden at the traditional building.
A vortex appeared in space, and a distorted figure flew out from the black hole at the center of the vortex.
"Darling, I missed you so much!"
As soon as Hinata appeared, she immediately threw herself into Izayoi's arms. Just by hearing her voice, one could feel the girl's longing, let alone such a proactive action from Hinata, who was once incredibly shy.
After all, such words and actions were previously Hanabi's exclusive domain.
This fervent love instantly dispelled the fatigue Izayoi had accumulated over the past six months, making him feel that all his hard work was worth it.
He wanted to possess this treasure of a girl forever; decades or even a century was too short.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Izayoi wrapped his arms around Hinata's slender waist, first gently whispering with their foreheads touching, then biting her red lips, and kissing her passionately in the living room.
"Big Brother, you're back!"
It wasn't until Hanabi's voice sounded from outside the house before she appeared that the two separated.
As Hanabi appeared, Shion, who had actually arrived earlier and was already in the house, then appeared with a smile.
Soon, all four women were gathered around Izayoi.
"Big Brother, what have you been doing these past six months? You've been so secretive, you wouldn't even tell us through your Wood Clone."
On the long sofa, Hanabi sat to Izayoi's right, holding his arm and asking curiously.
Hinata and the other two women also looked at Izayoi with confusion.
"I went to prepare gifts for you."
Izayoi released his hand from Hinata's shoulder, raised a finger, and tapped. The box he had placed on the floor nearby immediately floated over.
The box landed on the coffee table and opened automatically.
Four red fruits, about the size of apples, immediately came into view of the four women.
"Big Brother, what is this? Is it fruit?"
Hanabi knelt before the coffee table, her eyes almost touching the Chakra Pills, then turned to look at Izayoi with uncertainty.
She had almost blurted out what kind of fruit it was.
But then she thought, what kind of gift would Izayoi, who had disappeared for half a year, prepare for them if it were just fruit.
Hinata's third daughter also curiously leaned closer to the Chakra Pill, examining the gift.
Since they didn't possess the Kekkei Mōra, even with their strong senses, they couldn't feel the energy contained within the Chakra Pills.
Karin then turned to Izayoi and couldn't help but ask, "Izayoi-kun, what is this?"
Izayoi's lips curved slightly upwards. He then raised his hand, released gravity, and drew the four Chakra Pills, making them float in front of the four women.
After the four women caught the Chakra Pills, Izayoi smiled and said, "This will make your strength surge, and it will allow us to be together forever. You'll know once you eat it."
Seeing that Izayoi didn't explain further but had an expectant look, the four women exchanged glances and, without hesitation, bit into the red fruits in their hands.
The fruit was like jelly, with no taste, and melted in the mouth.
It felt like an apple in their hands, tasted like jelly, and liquefied like a drink after entering their mouths, flowing down their throats automatically without needing to be swallowed.
The four women grew more confused, so they finished the red fruits in their hands in just a few bites.
Before they could even feel any changes in their bodies, white fluorescence emanated from them, forming a transparent white barrier that encased their bodies as they floated into the air.
Before the four women could even exclaim, a flood of information exploded in their minds, and their expressions turned blank.
The data within their bodies was rapidly expanding.
Cells, energy, chakra, physique, strength, potential, bloodline, lifespan... everything, whether visible or invisible, perceptible or imperceptible, was rapidly increasing.
In a short while, the bodies of the four women underwent changes.
First, their beautiful hair of various colors turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shion and Karin's vacant eyes also turned pure white. Two red bubbles appeared out of nowhere around Shion, precisely the [Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red)] and [Bloodline Limit: Byakugan (Red)].
Karin's existing Otsutsuki bloodline perk also rapidly upgraded to red, and she unlocked the Bloodline Limit: Byakugan perk, both at the red level.
"Just red?" Izayoi muttered.
With just a Chakra Pill, two women had obtained bloodlines on par with Toneri Otsutsuki, reaching the peak of mixed-bloods.
However, this level of enhancement did not meet Izayoi's expectations.
After all, these Chakra Pills were refined by Izayoi using the God Tree's chakra from within Kaguya Otsutsuki, their purity no less than that of Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.
If Izayoi were to create his own descendants using Kaguya Otsutsuki's method, those descendants would directly be of pure-blooded Otsutsuki level.
Yet, Shion and Karin, who had consumed these two Chakra Pills, had only reached the peak of mixed-bloods, which was truly a waste of resources.
However, this was within Izayoi's expectations.
Although Karin possessed the Otsutsuki bloodline, her purity was not on the same level as Hinata and Hanabi. It was already remarkable that a single Chakra Pill could evolve her to the peak of mixed-bloods.
It was the same for Shion.
Moreover, the increase in strength was secondary; the most important thing was the surge in their lifespans.
Even as peak mixed-bloods, their lifespans surpassed those of mixed-blooded Otsutsuki.
Soon, Shion and Karin completed their evolution. The light barriers encasing their bodies slowly dissipated, and their floating forms descended to the ground.
Seeing that their consciousness had not yet returned, Izayoi quickly released gravity to support their bodies, gently placing them on the sofa. Then, his gaze shifted to Hinata and Hanabi, who were still evolving.
The God Tree had a special binding attribute with the Otsutsuki clan. The Ten-Tails needed to consume pure-blooded Otsutsuki to become the God Tree, and the Otsutsuki clan needed to consume God Tree fruits to complete their evolution. The most suitable recipients for Chakra Pills were pure-blooded Otsutsuki and mixed-blooded Otsutsuki.
For the former, consuming them would allow them to advance further into the dimensional realm.
For the latter, consuming them would break through their limits, reaching the door of the dimensional realm, or even entering it.
If Shion and Karin had wasted much of the pills' efficacy, with their greatest enhancement being their lifespan, then Hinata and Hanabi had fully digested the Chakra Pills, receiving comprehensive and immense improvements.
Under the gaze of Izayoi's Rinne Tenseigan and the system's ability to see perk bubbles, the bodies and perks of Hinata and Hanabi were undergoing astonishing changes.
Over the years, with Izayoi's nourishment, Hinata and Hanabi had already reached the peak of mixed-blooded Otsutsuki. Hinata had even become the first mixed-blooded Otsutsuki whose Byakugan had awakened an exclusive eye technique.
Her only remaining gaps compared to pure-blooded Otsutsuki were the privilege of flight, the characteristic of white hair and horns, and the rainbow-level Otsutsuki bloodline.
Now, after consuming the Chakra Pills, Hinata, much like Madara Uchiha becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, instantly broke through that membrane called a realm, officially stepping through the door to the dimensional realm.
Her skull bulged, and a pair of snow-white horns grew out.
Her already snow-white skin seemed to have become even fairer.
This was not an illusion; it was a change brought about by the sublimation of life, as the impurities within Hinata and Hanabi had vanished.
Furthermore, they gained the privileges of hand seal-less jutsu and the ability to ignore ninjutsu.
Several bubbles also appeared around them, and their existing Byakugan and Otsutsuki bloodlines were also undergoing sublimation.
After the perks completed their evolution, four identical, rainbow-hued perks appeared in Hinata and Hanabi's perk slots.
These four colored perks were:
[Otsutsuki Bloodline (Rainbow)]
[Bloodline Limit: Byakugan (Rainbow)]
[Sky Control (Rainbow)]
[Karma (Rainbow)]
Seeing these four perks, a sharp glint flashed in Izayoi's eyes.
A mystery that he had long overlooked and that had once puzzled him was finally solved at this moment.
Back when he became a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, Izayoi felt the gap between pure-bloods and half-bloods and was very confused. Why did Urashiki Otsutsuki let Toneri Otsutsuki go, and even say he would take Toneri Otsutsuki back after the sealing was over? Was it just simple admiration?
Now, seeing the changes in Hinata and Hanabi, Izayoi finally understood.
These beings who had reached the extreme of being half-bloods were all good seedlings to become his subordinates.
As long as they were fed a Chakra Pill, it would help them break through their limits and become sacrifices for the Ten-Tails.
In contrast, for Shion and Karin, who were not half-blooded Otsutsuki and had not reached the extreme of being half-bloods, even if they ate a Chakra Pill of this size, they would only reach the extreme of being half-bloods.
Moreover, not everyone was as generous as Izayoi, willing to bestow such a large Chakra Pill upon them.
Therefore, for someone like Toneri Otsutsuki, by paying only a small price, he could become his subordinate. This was a truly worthwhile transaction.
It was also from this moment that Hinata officially became Izayoi's subordinate.
Hanabi was a buy-one-get-one-free bonus.
However, the biggest gain from this evolution was not the changes in Hinata and Hanabi, but a flash of inspiration that hit Izayoi's mind to accelerate the cloning plan.
If Orochimaru and the others couldn't replicate gods, they could completely replicate Toneri Otsutsuki, and then when the God Tree bore fruit, Izayoi could feed him a Chakra Pill to get a sacrifice.
Thinking of this, Izayoi felt incredibly excited.
Today was truly a double celebration!
As the perks were sublimated, the evolution of Hinata and Hanabi also came to an end.
After a while, the light envelopes that had been covering their bodies slowly disappeared.
Hinata and Hanabi slowly landed on the ground, their eyes quickly shifting from vacant to bright and sharp, forming a stark contrast with Shion and Karin.
Coincidentally, Shion and Karin also regained consciousness at this moment.
Looking at the four silver-haired, white-eyed girls before him, Izayoi couldn't help but grin and say, "Welcome to the world of the Other Dimension!"
