Chapter 214: Ōtsutsuki God's Genes
Finally obtaining a method to extend his lifespan, Izayoi's mood was incredibly joyful.
In fact, Izayoi himself didn't even know what his current lifespan was.
But it was certain that, having evolved into a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki, his lifespan was at least several centuries, possibly even millennia.
Both being pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki with white hair, Byakugan, and horns, the difference between Izayoi and the brothers Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura lay in this very aspect.
Previously, Izayoi hadn't understood why trait upgrades always capped at the number nine in terms of points.
But as his Ōtsutsuki bloodline ascended to a colorful trait, and with the help of Transcendent Aptitude (Rainbow), he awakened abilities like Kekkei Mōra - Rinnegan-Tenseigan, Yomotsu Hirasaka, and Sky Walking (Rainbow). Izayoi gradually realized:
This 'nine' referred to the extreme limit!
Even among trait ranks of the same level, there were still differences.
And traits upgraded with extreme-limit points had a completely different upper limit compared to those that were barely upgraded, having "defied fate."
This could be seen from Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, who possessed the Ōtsutsuki bloodline (Rainbow ), yet only awakened the purple Rinnegan, unable to awaken Kekkei Mōra, and possessing a long lifespan.
His Ōtsutsuki bloodline (Rainbow) was merely that of a guardian's descendant.
Whereas Izayoi's Ōtsutsuki bloodline (Rainbow) directly corresponded to a noble existence among pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki, a superior!
Even without Transcendent Aptitude (Rainbow), Izayoi would have naturally awakened Kekkei Mōra and the power of the Karma seal many years later.
The Transcendent Aptitude (Rainbow) trait merely accelerated this unlocking process.
Izayoi's eagerness to find Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and obtain the Chakra Pilfering Method wasn't for himself, but for Hinata and the other girls.
Even after several centuries, his appearance wouldn't change, and his power would only become more unfathomable.
Hinata and the other girls, however, were different.
Although the existence of the Creation Rebirth (Yin Seal) allowed them to appear young even in their fifties, like Tsunade.
Yet, even Tsunade's appearance couldn't remain at its most beautiful stage, which was during the Second Great Ninja War.
Moreover, once the Yin Seal was released, their appearance would quickly revert to its natural age, and even if they could regain youth later, it couldn't hide the cell division and the reduction of their lifespan.
Only by obtaining the Chakra Pilfering Method could Izayoi help them completely break free from the limitations of lifespan and live forever with Hinata and the other girls.
And now, Izayoi already understood the principle of Chakra pills.
Having mastered the use of the Karma seal and Amenominakanushi, he could now unseal Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and absorb the Divine Tree's chakra from her body to refine it into pills.
Similarly, Izayoi could also feed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to the Ten-Tails, causing it to transform back into a Divine Tree, absorb the planet's energy, and once again bear a Chakra Fruit.
These things, Izayoi could do at any time; he had plenty of time.
But for now, how to plunder Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's collection was the most important matter.
Through soul-searching and memory reading, Izayoi had confirmed his conjecture.
That tube of liquid, revered as a treasure even within the Ōtsutsuki clan, was precisely the gene of the Ōtsutsuki God, Ōtsutsuki Shibai, who was suspected of having transcended this world.
Previous theories on certain forums in his past life, speculating that Ōtsutsuki Shibai died or ascended on Earth, had now been proven false.
After all, if Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had found Ōtsutsuki Shibai's corpse on Earth, that corpse would have long since fallen into Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's hands.
At the very least, like the Hashirama cells, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya would have obtained or seized a portion.
Even if she hadn't seized it, Izayoi, by observing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's past, would have seen how she and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki found Ōtsutsuki Shibai's corpse.
And Izayoi had seen none of this.
Ōtsutsuki Shibai's corpse was a treasure of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
In the original Boruto series, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki himself stated that Ōtsutsuki Shibai had indeed left the current dimension, indicating that as a superior, he also knew about Ōtsutsuki Shibai.
As for whether his claim that Ōtsutsuki Shibai had transcended was true or false, that remained unknown.
However, after solving this mystery, Izayoi breathed a sigh of relief.
It was enough that Ōtsutsuki Shibai didn't die or ascend on this planet. Otherwise, he would genuinely worry that the Ōtsutsuki God had actually failed to transcend but left behind a contingency plan on this planet for future resurrection and a fresh start.
Since Earth had nothing to do with that Ōtsutsuki God, Izayoi was completely at ease.
Thus, Izayoi manipulated the black receivers piercing Jigen and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's bodies, liquefying to cover the remaining half of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body. At the same time, he increased the chakra output of his Rinne Sharingan, raised his other hand, formed a single Unseal hand seal, and whispered: "Yin-Yang Release... Spirit Possession!"
Instantly, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who was under the genjutsu of the Rinne Sharingan, regained his dazed expression, which was quickly replaced by terror.
Because he found that he had regained a little chakra, but had lost control of his body.
And his Byakugan was mobilizing its ocular power to cast a divine technique... Daikokuten.
A black and red circular dimensional portal appeared out of thin air next to the black box. Then, two black specks, invisible to the naked eye—even Izayoi's Rinnegan-Tenseigan and Rinne Sharingan could only barely perceive them—flew out of the portal.
The next second, a gigantic, pure black tea kettle appeared out of thin air on the ground nearby.
At the same time, a tube filled with liquid also floated before Izayoi, which he caught in his hand.
These two items were precisely the second Ten-Tails, which Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had stored in a time-stopped alternate dimension, and the gene of the Ōtsutsuki God.
"Such terrifying energy, completely on a different level."
Izayoi stared at the tube of genetic liquid in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.
Just like Hashirama cells, this tube of liquid contained terrifying energy. Anyone unable to adapt to this energy would explode upon transplantation.
Those who transplanted the God's Gene without exploding would awaken dimensional abilities, which were divine techniques on the same level as Kekkei Mōra and ultimate dōjutsu.
Both could awaken abilities, but Hashirama cells, which could only awaken Kekkei Genkai, were clearly not on the same dimension as the God's Gene.
Even Izayoi's current body couldn't transplant this thing, but he had no intention of transplanting it or using Amenominakanushi to devour it.
After all, who knew if there were any hidden contingencies of Ōtsutsuki Shibai inside this thing.
Izayoi possessed a dual evolution advantage that even Ōtsutsuki Shibai didn't have; he wouldn't be greedy for such small gains.
After putting away Ōtsutsuki Shibai's gene, Izayoi again used Amenominakanushi to transfer the tea kettle containing the second Ten-Tails into the hypergravity dimension.
Immediately, Izayoi then began to deal with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
He didn't immediately feed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to the Ten-Tails. Instead, he created a Wood Clone to continue soul-searching Ōtsutsuki Isshiki while observing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's past.
Before Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki's arrival, Izayoi could only find Ōtsutsuki Isshiki as a superior pure-blood.
As a superior who even possessed a tube of Ōtsutsuki Shibai's genetic liquid, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki held a respectable position even within the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Izayoi wanted to know if divine techniques could be transplanted like Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu?
If so, Izayoi could transplant Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's two divine techniques.
Furthermore, Ōtsutsuki Shibai's gene would also become very valuable.
Izayoi could, like in Boruto, have Amado create Eida and Daemon, who possessed divine techniques, and then transplant their divine techniques.
To get this answer, Izayoi watched very seriously and carefully.
This watching lasted for over half a month.
So much so that Izayoi missed his own birthday.
Hinata and the other girls, who had originally prepared a surprise for Izayoi, saw him so busy in the secret home, and looking so serious for the first time in a long while, and very obediently did not disturb him.
After more than half a month, Izayoi had rewatched Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's life from over two thousand years ago several times.
The more Izayoi watched, the more certain he became of his conjecture.
When two identical traits merged without upgrading, and upgrading with points still required an extreme number of points, it was because point upgrades were a cheat, directly raising the upper limit to the best level for that rank.
This was because Izayoi's Ame-no-mihashira was a bit too overpowered.
Through Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's past, Izayoi gained a lot of information about the Ōtsutsuki clan and saw many of the clan's high-ranking members.
These beings were all existences that surpassed Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
And these individuals undoubtedly possessed a large number of divine techniques.
Even so, these beings still couldn't block Izayoi's dōjutsu.
Since dimensional beings could block the perception of lower-ranked beings, there must exist divine techniques or Kekkei Mōra that could block the prying of one's past.
However, those pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki could not block Izayoi's Ame-no-mihashira.
Undoubtedly, Izayoi's Ame-no-mihashira was more powerful than many divine techniques.
No wonder powerful abilities like Karma and other colorful traits couldn't displace Izayoi's Kekkei Mōra - Rinnegan-Tenseigan (Color), including the Rinne Sharingan, which was also a Kekkei Mōra.
After more than half a month of watching the past and soul-searching, Izayoi finally found the information he wanted.
Divine techniques... could be transplanted!
However, unlike the transplantation of Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu, transplanting divine techniques still required... Karma!
Karma could data-fy oneself, and also data-fy abilities.
By data-fying an opponent's abilities and copying or transferring them to oneself, one would gain the abilities from that data.
This discovery made Izayoi increasingly value the Karma ability, and also feel a hint of apprehension.
Data could also contain viruses.
And some viruses could not even be detected by antivirus software.
This ability, which the Ōtsutsuki clan used for infinite reincarnation, had both benefits and unknown drawbacks; it should not be overly relied upon.
So, after hesitating for a while, Izayoi still abandoned the idea of transplanting Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Sukuna Hikona and Daikokuten. He didn't want to take any risks.
Immediately, Izayoi once again drained Jigen and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's chakra. Then, he manipulated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to emerge from Jigen's body, returning to his original size.
Because his lower half had been eaten by the Ten-Tails, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was unable to regenerate. In his restored form, he still only had his upper body.
Izayoi used Wood Release to extract several tubes of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's blood and severed one of his arms.
After doing this, Izayoi brought Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Jigen back to the real world, to the desert region of the Land of Wind.
To be precise, it was near the already ruined Rōran Kingdom.
Here, the pulse of the earth, also known as the Ryuumyaku (Dragon Veins), was sealed.
It was an existence even more dangerous than the Gräel Stone, capable of destroying the entire land if not handled carefully.
A thing that could destroy the world at the drop of a hat was, of course, a product of a movie adaptation.
In the movie, Naruto Uzumaki even traveled back in time through the Ryuumyaku.
Izayoi also wanted to use this to go back in time, wanting to see if it would be the past of this timeline, or a trip to a parallel world.
However, being cautious, he ultimately didn't take the risk.
Arriving at the Rōran ruins, Izayoi began his next experiment.
He first used Amenominakanushi to release the Ten-Tails.
"Roar..."
A deafening roar stirred up a sky full of sand.
The terrifying chakra that appeared out of thin air also startled Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.
Before Gaara could even convene a meeting of the higher-ups, this chakra quickly vanished.
The scene returned to the Rōran ruins. Izayoi's single glance intimidated the rampaging Ten-Tails.
And the subdued Ten-Tails still stared greedily at Izayoi, occasionally glancing at Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who had been unsealed by Izayoi but was still controlled by Yin-Yang Release - Spirit Possession.
The beast's instincts told the Ten-Tails that these two individuals were incredibly delicious, the most delicious food in this world.
Soon, it ate one of the most delicious foods.
Izayoi controlled Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to undergo complete reincarnation.
The next second, an incredible scene unfolded.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, with only his upper body remaining, shattered like a broken eggshell, then rapidly turned to dust.
Even the blood Izayoi had extracted and the severed arm vanished into thin air, turning into nothingness.
And Jigen's body also showed numerous cracks.
Then, with a shudder, Jigen, who was originally wearing a white haori and had his hair gathered at the top of his head with a long braid behind him, suddenly transformed into a man with pale skin, grayish-white hair, and a long, curved horn—it was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's appearance.
Without giving Ōtsutsuki Isshiki a chance to react, Izayoi once again used Amenominakanushi to drain Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's faint chakra, and then used Yin-Yang Release to strip him of his body control, severing another of his arms before throwing this superior of the Rabbit Goddess to the Ten-Tails below.
Gazing at the 'pie' falling from the sky, the Ten-Tails immediately opened its gaping maw impatiently and swallowed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
This time, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was unable to use Sukuna Hikona to shrink and escape; he directly became the Ten-Tails' food.
"Roar..."
As Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was swallowed, the Ten-Tails let out an even more astonishing roar, echoing louder than before.
Terrifying dust clouds rose, engulfing the Ten-Tails and Izayoi.
When the dust dissipated, the Ten-Tails had vanished, replaced by a towering tree standing in the desert.
Its name was... the Divine Tree!
