Chapter 214 - The Genes of the Otsutsuki God, Planting the God Tree

Finally having found a way to extend his lifespan, Izayoi felt an immense joy.

In fact, he didn't even know how long his lifespan was now.

But one thing was certain: having evolved into a pure-blood Otsutsuki, his lifespan was at least several hundred years, if not thousands.

Despite sharing the same white hair, white eyes, and long horns as other pure-blood Otsutsuki, Izayoi was different from Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki in this regard.

In the past, Izayoi didn't understand why his Perk upgrades were stuck at the number nine.

However, as his Otsutsuki Bloodline elevated to a Prismatic Perk, and with the help of his Transcendence Potential (Prismatic), he awakened the Kekkei Mōra, Rinne Tenseigan, and Yomotsu Hirasaka, he gradually came to realize something.

This nine referred to an extreme number!

There were indeed differences among Perks of the same level of talent.

And the upper limit for Perks that upgraded through extreme numbers was completely different from those that were forced to upgrade against the odds.

This was evident from how Hagoromo, despite possessing the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Prismatic), could only awaken a purple Rinnegan and was unable to awaken Kekkei Mōra, nor did he have an exceptionally long lifespan.

His Otsutsuki Bloodline (Prismatic) was merely that of a guardian's descendant.

In contrast, Izayoi's Otsutsuki Bloodline (Prismatic) directly aligned with the noble existence among pure-blood Otsutsuki, marking him as an upper-tier!

Even without Transcendence Potential (Prismatic), Izayoi would naturally awaken the abilities of Kekkei Mōra and Karma after many years.

The term Transcendence Potential (Prismatic) merely accelerated the unlocking process.

Izayoi was in such a hurry to find Isshiki Otsutsuki to obtain Chakra Alchemy not for himself, but for Hinata and the others.

Even if he lived for several hundred more years, his appearance would remain unchanged, while his strength would only become more profound.

In contrast, Hinata and the others were different.

Although the existence of Yin Seal allowed them to retain a youthful appearance even into their later years, like Tsunade, it still couldn't preserve their beauty at its peak, which was during the Second Great Shinobi War.

Moreover, once Yin Seal was lifted, their appearances would quickly revert to what they naturally should be, and even if they could regain their youth afterward, it wouldn't hide the signs of cellular division and the reduction of their lifespans.

Only by obtaining Chakra Alchemy could Izayoi help them completely break free from the limitations of their lifespans and live forever alongside Hinata and the others.

At this point, Izayoi already understood the principles behind Chakra pills.

Having mastered the use of Karma and Miketsukami, he could now unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki and absorb the Chakra from the God Tree within her to refine it into pills.

Similarly, Izayoi could feed Isshiki Otsutsuki to the Ten-Tails, allowing it to transform back into the God Tree to absorb the planet's energy and produce another Chakra Fruit.

These tasks were always within Izayoi's reach; he had plenty of time.

However, right now, the most important thing was how to gather the treasures from Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Through soul-searching to read memories, Izayoi had already confirmed his suspicions.

The liquid referred to as the treasure within the Otsutsuki Clan was indeed the gene of the Otsutsuki God, suspected to have transcended this world, Shibai Otsutsuki.

Some forums in his past life speculated that Shibai Otsutsuki had either died or ascended on Earth, but now there was an answer: it was false.

After all, if Isshiki Otsutsuki had found Shibai Otsutsuki's corpse on Earth, that body would have long since fallen into Kaguya Otsutsuki's hands.

At the very least, she would have obtained a part of it, just like Hashirama Cells.

Even if she hadn't, Izayoi could see through Kaguya Otsutsuki's past how she and Isshiki Otsutsuki found Shibai Otsutsuki's corpse.

Yet, he hadn't seen any of that.

Shibai Otsutsuki's corpse was the treasure of the Otsutsuki Clan.

In the original story of Boruto, Momoshiki Otsutsuki explicitly stated that Shibai Otsutsuki had indeed left the current dimension, indicating that as an upper-tier, he was aware of Shibai's situation.

As for whether what he said about Shibai Otsutsuki transcending was true or not, that remained unknown.

However, after unraveling this mystery, Izayoi felt a sense of relief.

As long as Shibai Otsutsuki hadn't died or ascended on this planet, he wouldn't have to worry that the Otsutsuki God had actually failed to transcend but left behind a contingency plan on this planet for future resurrection and a second chance.

Since Earth was unrelated to that Otsutsuki God, Izayoi felt completely at ease.

Thus, Izayoi manipulated the Black Rod that pierced through Jigen and Isshiki Otsutsuki's body, liquefying it to cover the remaining half of Isshiki's body, while increasing the output of his Rinne Sharingan's Eye Power. He raised his other hand, formed a Hand Seal, and softly murmured, "Yin-Yang Release… Spiritual Body Possession!"

In an instant, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had been caught in the illusion of the Rinne Sharingan, snapped back to his senses, but soon terror replaced his dazed expression.

He realized he had regained a bit of Chakra, but he had lost control of his body.

Moreover, his black eyes were channeling Eye Power to cast a Divine Technique… Mahakala.

A black and red circular portal appeared out of thin air next to the black box, and two entities, invisible to the naked eye—even to Izayoi's Rinne Tenseigan and Rinne Sharingan—flew out from the portal as mere tiny black dots.

The next second, a gigantic, pure black tea kettle materialized on the ground not far away.

Simultaneously, a tube filled with liquid floated in front of Izayoi, which he grasped in his hand.

These two items were the second Ten-Tails stored in the time-stopped alternate space by Isshiki Otsutsuki and the gene of the Otsutsuki God.

"What terrifying energy, it's on a completely different level."

Izayoi stared at the tube of genetic liquid in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.

Just like Hashirama Cells, this liquid contained horrifying energy; anyone unable to adapt to this energy would explode upon transplantation.

If one were to transplant the genes of a god without dying from it, they would awaken dimensional abilities, which are on par with the Divine Techniques of the Kekkei Mōra and ultimate ocular jutsu.

Similarly, while one can awaken abilities, the Hashirama Cells can only awaken Kekkei Genkai, clearly not existing on the same level as the genes of a god.

Even with Izayoi's current body, he cannot transplant such things, nor does he have any intention of using Miketsukami to devour them.

After all, who knows what hidden tricks might be inside?

Izayoi possesses a dual-evolution advantage that even Shibai Otsutsuki lacks, so he wouldn't risk such a minor gain.

Once he had stored away Shibai Otsutsuki's genes, Izayoi activated Ame-no-Tokotachi, transferring the teapot containing the second Ten-Tails into a supergravity space.

Only then did he begin to deal with Isshiki Otsutsuki.

He didn't immediately feed Isshiki Otsutsuki to the Ten-Tails; instead, he created a Wood Clone, continuing to soul-search Isshiki while observing his past.

Before Momoshiki Otsutsuki arrived, Izayoi could only find Isshiki Otsutsuki as a pureblooded superior entity.

As a superior, receiving a vial of genetic fluid from Shibai Otsutsuki, Isshiki holds a notable status even within the Otsutsuki Clan.

Izayoi wanted to know if Divine Techniques could be transplanted like the ocular jutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

If it were possible, then Izayoi could transplant Isshiki Otsutsuki's two Divine Techniques.

Moreover, Shibai Otsutsuki's genes would become incredibly valuable.

Izayoi could, like in Boruto, have Amado create Ada and Daemon, who possess Divine Techniques, and then transplant those techniques.

To find this answer, Izayoi watched very attentively and meticulously.

This went on for over half a month.

As a result, Izayoi missed his own birthday.

Hinata and the others, who had prepared surprises for him, saw him so busy in the secret home and noticed how serious he had become, so they kindly refrained from disturbing him.

During this time, Izayoi had already watched Isshiki Otsutsuki's life from over two thousand years ago several times.

The more he watched, the more he confirmed his suspicions.

The fusion of two identical Perks did not result in an upgrade, and upgrading with Points still required a massive amount of them because point upgrades are considered cheating, directly raising the limits to the best levels of that tier.

This is due to Izayoi's Ame-no-Tokotachi being rather overpowered.

Through Isshiki Otsutsuki's past, Izayoi grasped a lot of information about the Otsutsuki Clan and even encountered several high-ranking members.

None of these beings were beneath Kaguya Otsutsuki.

And these individuals certainly possessed a wealth of Divine Techniques.

Even so, these beings still could not shield themselves from Izayoi's ocular jutsu.

Since dimensional beings can block the perception of lower beings, there must be Divine Techniques or Kekkei Mōra that can shield against probing into one's past.

However, those pureblood Otsutsuki could not block Izayoi's Ame-no-Tokotachi.

Without a doubt, Izayoi's Ame-no-Tokotachi is more powerful than many Divine Techniques.

No wonder such a powerful ability as Karma, along with other Prismatic Perks, cannot overshadow Izayoi's Kekkei Mōra: Rinne Tenseigan (Prismatic), including the Rinnegan, which is also a Kekkei Mōra.

After over half a month of watching the past and soul-searching, Izayoi finally found the information he sought.

Divine Techniques... can be transplanted!

However, unlike the ocular jutsu transplant of the Mangekyo Sharingan, transplanting Divine Techniques still requires... Karma!

Karma can digitize one's data and abilities.

As long as one can digitize the opponent's abilities and copy or transfer them to oneself, they will gain the abilities associated with that data.

This discovery made Izayoi pay even more attention to Karma, while also feeling a twinge of caution.

Data can also harbor viruses.

And some viruses can evade even antivirus software.

The Otsutsuki Clan's ability to achieve infinite reincarnation has its benefits, but it also holds unknown drawbacks, so it should not be overly relied upon.

After some hesitation, Izayoi decided against transplanting the Sukuna-Hikona and Mahakala from Isshiki Otsutsuki; he didn't want to take any risks.

He then drained the Chakra from Jigen and Isshiki Otsutsuki, manipulating Isshiki to exit Jigen's body and return to its original size.

Due to the fact that the lower half was consumed by the Ten-Tails, Isshiki Otsutsuki could not regenerate; even restored, he still only had his upper body.

Izayoi used Wood Release to draw several vials of blood from Isshiki Otsutsuki and severed one of his arms.

After completing these tasks, Izayoi returned to the real world with Isshiki Otsutsuki and Jigen, positioning himself in the desert region of the Wind Country.

More precisely, it was near the ruins of the Kingdom of Roran.

Here, the lifeblood of the earth is sealed, also known as the Dragon Vein.

That is an existence more dangerous than the Gelel Stone, and a slight misstep could lead to the destruction of the entire land.

An artifact that could destroy the world at the slightest disagreement is naturally a product of the theatrical version.

In that version, Uzumaki Naruto even used the Dragon Vein to travel back in time.

Izayoi also wanted to utilize this to return to the past, hoping to see whether it was the past of this timeline or a parallel world he would reach.

However, being cautious, he ultimately decided not to take that risk.

Arriving at the ruins of Loulan, Izayoi began the next phase of his experiment.

First, he activated Ame-no-Tokotachi, releasing the Ten-Tails.

"Roar…"

A deafening roar erupted, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.

The terrifying chakra that appeared out of nowhere startled Sunagakure, located in the Wind Country.

Before Gaara could gather the higher-ups for a meeting, this chakra quickly vanished without a trace.

The scene returned to the Loulan ruins, where Izayoi's gaze alone subdued the rampaging Ten-Tails.

Despite being stunned, the Ten-Tails still looked greedily at Izayoi, occasionally glancing at Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had been freed from his seal but remained under the control of Yin-Yang Release: Spiritual Body Possession.

The beast's instincts told the Ten-Tails that these two were incredibly delicious, the most delectable food in the world.

Soon enough, it would get a taste of the most delicious meal.

Izayoi manipulated Isshiki Otsutsuki to undergo complete reincarnation.

In the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

With only its upper body remaining, Isshiki Otsutsuki's form shattered like a crushed eggshell, rapidly turning into dust.

Even the blood Izayoi had drawn and the severed arm disintegrated into nothingness.

Meanwhile, Jigen's body also manifested numerous cracks.

Then, with a jolt, Jigen, originally dressed in a white haori with hair gathered at the top and a long braid trailing behind, suddenly transformed into a man with pale skin, gray hair, and a long curved horn—exactly resembling Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Without giving Isshiki Otsutsuki a chance to react, Izayoi once again invoked Miketsukami, draining the remaining weak chakra from Isshiki Otsutsuki and using Yin-Yang Release to strip him of physical control. He then severed another arm, finally handing this Rabbit Goddess's position to the Ten-Tails below.

Watching the "pie" fall from the sky, the Ten-Tails eagerly opened its massive jaws, ready to consume Isshiki Otsutsuki.

This time, Isshiki Otsutsuki could not use Sukuna-Hikona to shrink and escape; he was directly devoured by the Ten-Tails.

"Roar…"

As Isshiki Otsutsuki slid down the Ten-Tails' throat, it let out a thunderous roar, even more astonishing than before.

A terrifying cloud of dust rose up, engulfing the Ten-Tails and Izayoi alike.

When the dust finally settled, the Ten-Tails had vanished, leaving behind a towering tree standing in the desert.

Its name was… the God Tree!
