"Is this a chakra pill?"
Looking at the eerie red fruit in her hand, Izayoi couldn't help but mutter, "Rather than a pill, it's more like the Naruto version of a spiritual fruit."
With her celestial observations, Izayoi already knew what a chakra fruit looked like.
Unlike blood-red chakra pills, a chakra fruit is a shimmering fruit containing the planet's life force. Consumed, it becomes the planet's will, immortal, like a god on earth.
It's pure energy!
The blood-red fruit in Izayoi's hand is unlike the red pills Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki's chakra absorption in Boruto, and it's also completely different from the pure, shimmering chakra fruit. Its shape and color seem to exude an aura of evil and foreboding.
Compared to a chakra fruit, it's more like a devil fruit from the neighboring world of One Piece.
However, the two are incomparable.
To Izayoi's reincarnated vision, the four fruit-shaped chakra pills not only contained astonishing energy but also swirled with countless black substances, spinning at breakneck speed like a Rasengan.
Red on the outside and black on the inside, at first glance, they looked more like the kind of fruit the devil uses to tempt mortals.
Uninformed, they would surely be horrified.
But Izayoi, who already possessed information about the chakra pills, knew that these black substances were... data.
As the name suggests, those who consumed the chakra pills experienced a surge in their stats, awakening special energies and extending their lifespans. They could even ascend to a higher level of being, granting flight and other privileges.
Unlike the red pills crafted by Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, the chakra pills in Izayoi's hands were drawn from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's body. They were pure chakra from the sacred tree, a weakened version of the chakra fruit.
Even if Izayoi consumed such a fruit, her strength and lifespan would be significantly enhanced.
However, Izayoi didn't consume them. Instead, he used his chakra beads to create a box, deposited four fruit-shaped chakra pills into it, and then used Yomi Hirasaka to leave this alternate dimension and return to his home in the real world.
"Hinata, Hanabi, Karin, Shion, put down your work and return home immediately."
Meanwhile, the four Hinata girls, busy in the Hokage's office and at home, suddenly heard Izayoi's voice in their minds.
This "Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission" ability was the chakra communication ability of Six Paths Sage Mode.
Upon hearing Izayoi's voice, the four Hinata girls exclaimed in surprise, "Izayoi-kun/Onii-chan is back!"
Without hesitation, the four girls immediately dropped their work and, each using their own abilities, rushed home.
It took Izayoi six months to achieve Kaguya Otsutsuki's natural integration. This wasn't just a matter of luck; it was also due to his six-month battle with Kaguya Otsutsuki.
During that time, he didn't dare take any rest, lest he lose Kaguya Otsutsuki next time.
As a result, the four Hinata girls hadn't seen Izayoi in six months.
If it weren't for the wooden clone telling them that the original body was safe, the four girls wouldn't have gotten any sleep for the past six months. Now that Izayoi had finally returned, one can imagine how excited they were.
In her haste to see her, Hinata even forgot to wait for Karin, who had come with her to handle some business. Using Kamui, she was the first to appear before Izayoi, faster than Shion tending the garden in a traditional building.
A vortex appeared in space, and from the black hole that served as the vortex's eye, a twisted figure flew out.
"Anada, I missed you so much!"
Hinata, upon appearing, immediately threw herself into Izayoi's arms. Her voice alone was enough to convey the girl's longing, especially since it came from the once shy Hinata.
After all, such words, and this gesture, had always been reserved for Hanabi.
This fervent love instantly dispelled Izayoi's six months of accumulated fatigue, making him feel that all the hard work had been worth it.
He wanted to possess such a precious girl forever; decades, even centuries, were too short a time.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Izayoi wrapped his arms around Hinata's slender waist, whispering softly as their foreheads pressed together before biting the girl's red lips and kissing her in the living room.
"Onii-chan, you're back!"
The two didn't separate until Hanabi's voice echoed from outside the house, even before they arrived. Following Hanabi's arrival, Shion, who had already been inside, emerged with a smile.
Soon, the four girls gathered around Izayoi.
"Onii-chan, what have you been doing these past six months? So secretive, even the Wood Avatar wouldn't tell us."
Hanabi, sitting to Izayoi's right on the couch, asked curiously, holding Izayoi's arm.
The three Hinata girls also looked at Izayoi with puzzled eyes.
"I'll go get you some presents."
Izayoi released his grip on Hinata's shoulders and tapped his finger. A box he had placed on the floor nearby suddenly floated over.
It landed on the coffee table and opened automatically.
Four red fruits, the size of apples, immediately caught the eyes of the four girls.
"Onii-chan, what is this? Fruit?"
Hanabi knelt in front of the coffee table, her eyes almost touching the chakra pills. Then she turned and looked at Izayoi with uncertainty.
She almost blurted out, "What kind of fruit is this?"
But then she thought, how could Izayoi, who had disappeared for half a year, prepare a gift for them, possibly fruit?
Hinata and the other two girls also approached the chakra pills curiously, examining them closely.
However, without the Kekkei Net, even with their enhanced perception, they couldn't sense the energy contained within the chakra pills.
So, Karin turned to Izayoi and couldn't help but ask, "Izayoi-kun, what is this?"
Izayoi's lips curled up slightly, and then he raised his hand, releasing gravity, and rolled up the four chakra pills, floating them in front of the four girls.
After the four girls cooperated to catch the chakra pill, Izayoi smiled and said, "This is something that will make your strength skyrocket and keep us together forever. You'll know once you eat it."
Seeing that Izayoi didn't elaborate but looked expectant, the four girls looked at each other and, without hesitation, bit into the red fruit in their hands.
The fruit was like jelly, tasteless and melted in their mouths.
It felt like an apple when held, but tasted like jelly. Once in the mouth, it liquefied like a drink, flowing automatically down the throat without swallowing.
The four women, increasingly confused, devoured the red fruit in just a few bites.
Before they could fully appreciate the changes in their bodies, a white fluorescent light emanated from them, transforming into a transparent white shield that enveloped them and lifted them into the air.
Before the four women could even exclaim in surprise, a flood of information exploded in their minds, leaving them dazed. The data within them was rapidly expanding.
Cells, energy, chakra, physique, strength, potential, bloodline, lifespan... everything, visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, was rapidly increasing.
Soon, all four women's bodies underwent a transformation.
First, their various hair colors turned white at a visible speed.
Shion and Karin's lifeless eyes also turned pure white. Two red bubbles, floating around Shion, appeared out of thin air: [Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red)] and [Byakugan (Red)].
Karin's already existing Otsutsuki bloodline entry also rapidly sublimated to red, unlocking the Byakugan bloodline entry, also at the red level.
"Just red?" Izayoi muttered.
A single chakra potion had granted the two women bloodlines on the level of Otsutsuki Toneri, a hybrid that could reach the pinnacle.
However, this level of sublimation did not meet Izayoi's expectations.
After all, these chakra pills were forged by Izayoi using the chakra of the sacred tree within Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's body. Their purity was no less than that of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
If Izayoi used Kaguya's method to create her own offspring, they would be pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki.
However, after consuming these chakra pills, Shion and Karin only reached the pinnacle of hybrids, a waste of natural resources.
However, this was also within Izayoi's expectations.
Although Karin possessed Ōtsutsuki blood, her purity was completely different from Hinata and Hanabi. For a single chakra pill to allow her to evolve to the pinnacle of hybrids was already a remarkable feat.
The same was true for Shion.
And the increase in strength was only secondary; the most important thing was that both women's lifespans had increased dramatically.
Although both were peak hybrids, their lifespans surpassed those of the hybrid Ōtsutsuki.
Soon, Shion and Karin completed their evolutions. The light shields enveloping their bodies slowly dissipated, and their levitating bodies fell to the ground.
Seeing they hadn't regained consciousness, Izayoi quickly released his gravity to support their bodies, slowly placing them on the sofa. Then, his gaze shifted to Hinata and Hanabi, who were still evolving.
The Sacred Tree and the Ōtsutsuki clan share a special bond. The Ten-Tails must consume a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki to become the Sacred Tree, and the Ōtsutsuki clan must consume the fruit of the Sacred Tree to complete their evolution. Pure-blooded and mixed-blooded Ōtsutsuki are the most suitable for consuming chakra elixirs.
The former allows them to advance further into the alternate dimension.
The latter push their limits, reaching the gateway to another dimension, or even stepping into it.
While Shion and Karin wasted much of the elixirs' effectiveness, the greatest improvement was in their lifespans.
Hinata and Hanabi, on the other hand, completely digested the chakra elixir, experiencing a tremendous improvement in all aspects.
Under Izayoi's Rinnegan (the Rinnegan eye), and the system-granted ability to see entry bubbles, Hinata and Hanabi's bodies and entries underwent astonishing changes.
Over the years, nurtured by Izayoi, Hinata and Hanabi have both reached the pinnacle of hybrid Ōtsutsuki, Hinata becoming the first hybrid Ōtsutsuki, and her Byakugan awakening a unique dojutsu.
The only difference between her and the lower-ranked pure-blood Ōtsutsuki is the privilege of flight, the white hair and horns, and the color-coded Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
Now, after consuming the chakra elixir, Hinata, like Uchiha Madara becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, instantly shattered the membrane known as the realm, officially entering the portal to an alternate dimension.
Her head bulged, and a pair of snow-white horns sprouted.
Her already fair skin seemed even whiter.
This wasn't an illusion; the impurities within Hinata and Hanabi's bodies vanished, a transformation brought on by the sublimation of their lives.
Furthermore, they gained the ability to cast no-handed spells and ignore ninjutsu, among other privileges.
Several more bubbles appeared around them, and their already existing Byakugan and Ōtsutsuki bloodline also advanced.
After their entries evolved, four identical, rainbow-rainbow entries appeared in Hinata and Hanabi's entry columns.
These four colorful entries were:
[Otsutsuki Bloodline (rainbow)]
[Kekei Genkai: Byakugan (rainbow )]
[Mikoto (rainbow )]
[Kaze (rainbow)]
Upon seeing these four entries, Izayoi's eyes suddenly lit up.
A mystery he had long overlooked, a mystery that had baffled him, was finally solved.
When he first became a pure-blood Otsutsuki, Izayoi felt the difference between purebloods and hybrids and wondered why Otsutsuki Urashiki had spared Otsutsuki Toneri, promising to take him back after the seal was over. Was it simply admiration?
Seeing the transformation in Hinata and Hanabi, Izayoi finally understood.
These beings, having reached the pinnacle of hybridization, were promising candidates for lower ranks.
Simply feeding them a chakra potion could help them break through their limitations and become sacrifices to the Ten-Tails.
On the other hand, Shion and Karin weren't Ōtsutsuki hybrids, nor had they reached the pinnacle of hybridization. Even if they consumed such a massive chakra potion, they would only reach the pinnacle of hybridization.
Furthermore, not everyone was as generous as Izayoi, willing to bestow such a massive chakra potion upon them.
Therefore, for someone like Ōtsutsuki Toneri, paying a small price, they could become his subordinate—a truly cost-effective deal.
From this moment on, Hinata officially became Izayoi's subordinate.
Hanabi got a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
However, the greatest benefit of this evolution wasn't the changes Hinata and Hanabi had undergone, but the flash of inspiration that accelerated the cloning plan.
If Orochimaru and the others couldn't replicate a god, then they could easily replicate Ōtsutsuki Toneri. Then, when the sacred tree bore fruit, Izayoi would feed him a chakra potion and receive a sacrifice.
At this thought, Izayoi felt incredibly excited.
What a double blessing today!
With the completion of their entry upgrades, Hinata and Hanabi's evolutions also reached their final stages.
After a while, the light shield that enveloped their bodies slowly disappeared.
Hinata and Hanabi slowly landed on the ground, their eyes quickly becoming bright and clear, forming a sharp contrast with Shion and Karin.
Coincidentally, Shion and Karin also regained consciousness at this moment.
Looking at the four silver-haired and white-eyed girls in front of him, Izayoi couldn't help but grin and said, "Welcome to the world of another dimension!"
