Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 214 Karma and Chakra Alchemy: Half of the Dream Has Been Realized
"Damn it, how did you find me?"

Having been transported to a secluded, idyllic alternate dimension, with Yin-Yang Release black rods inserted into every acupoint of his body, Otsutsuki Isshiki looked up at Izayoi in front of him, utterly bewildered as to how Izayoi had managed to break his combination technique of Shona Higana and the space-time portal.

When they returned to the real world, the spacetime portal could not be shrunk by the small-scaled Bikanna, so it was understandable that it was discovered.

However, once inside the space-time tunnel, Isshiki Otsutsuki's size was even smaller than an ant, making him difficult to detect with the naked eye. Even his chakra would shrink and become undetectable. In addition, there were countless alternate dimensions inside the space-time tunnel, so even a bloodline limit dojutsu would be unable to detect him.

For over two thousand years, Otsutsuki Isshiki has survived to this day thanks to this combination technique.

Logically speaking, Izayoi shouldn't have been able to find him either.

How did this guy manage to do that?
Little did he know, Izayoi could see his next five minutes just by glancing at him.

Unless Otsutsuki Isshiki keeps running away during those five minutes, Izayoi will be able to find him by following his trail as long as he enters any alternate dimension.

He was just not careful enough!
Izayoi did not answer Isshiki Otsutsuki's question, but instead raised an eyebrow.

Immediately, Izayoi raised her hand and created two black spheres, which then merged to form a larger sphere, liquefying and submerging Isshiki Otsutsuki, forming a black square box on the grass.

It is a combination technique of Chakra Rosary and Heavenly Swamp Spear.

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is both Jigen and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Because Isshiki Otsutsuki only has half a body left, he needs to parasitize Jigen's body and absorb Jigen's body energy in order to survive.

The parasitized Jigen's brain has long been controlled by Isshiki Otsutsuki. Isshiki Otsutsuki uses his voice to say what he wants to say, while controlling his body to do what he wants to do.

In addition, Jigen's body was also engraved with the wedge of the Otsutsuki Isshiki.

With just a thought, Otsutsuki Isshiki can activate the data on Jigen's body and completely reincarnate.

At that time, Jigen's physical appearance, and even his genes, will become like Isshiki Otsutsuki and a pure-blooded Otsutsuki.

It's just that Jigen's body was too weak to be his reincarnation vessel. Once he was fully reincarnated, his lifespan would be very short. That's why Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't completely reincarnate, but instead continued to parasitize Jigen's body.

Because it is a parasite, Isshiki Otsutsuki's body can leave Jigen's body at any time and find a new target to parasitize.

Izayoi used the combination of Chakra Rosary and Ama-no-Numa Spear because his eyes had just seen Isshiki Otsutsuki choose to abandon Jigen's body and secretly fly out of his ear. He then took the opportunity to use up his last bit of chakra to use the combination of Daikokuten and the Space-Time Portal to escape from this alternate dimension.

Having finally caught this rat, how could Izayoi possibly give him that chance?

After locking Isshiki Otsutsuki in the small dark room, Izayoi finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to use the Ten no Tsutetsu to watch the past of this Rabbit Goddess's rise to power.

Without a doubt, that will be an epic masterpiece.

However, the latter half of this epic work appears somewhat wretched and tragic.

For the past two thousand years, Otsutsuki Isshiki has been like a rat, only daring to hide in countless alternate dimensions, and the alternate dimensions he chooses are all dark places with dim light and no light.

Only by using the Shona Bikona technique to shrink his body and chakra and merge into the darkness, could Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was seen as elegant and noble by the Kara members, feel a sense of security.

There is no way around this!
As a superior being among pure-blooded Otsutsuki, Otsutsuki Isshiki never imagined that he would be betrayed by a subordinate. The noble Isshiki had never carved a wedge for a lower-class creature and had never prepared a reincarnation vessel in advance.

The only vessel for reincarnation is Jigen, whom he has parasitized. Whether the original body dies or Jigen dies, then he is truly dead.

As a noble being among the immortal races, Isshiki Otsutsuki is even more afraid of death than humans.

He endured humiliation and hardship for over two thousand years in order to be resurrected.

Over the past two thousand years, he has been countless times more cautious than Izayoi, which has made Izayoi feel sorry for the rise of this goddess of the rabbit.

If he hadn't been so arrogant and betrayed by his subordinate, Otsutsuki Isshiki might have awakened several more divine techniques besides Kurome, Sumina Hikona, and Daikokuten, and might even have developed a stronger Kekkei no Miku.

After all, two thousand years is enough time to produce two Chakra Fruits.

Otsutsuki Isshiki happens to have two Ten-Tails.

Even if the Chakra Fruit needs to be handed over to the higher-ups of the main clan, and he can only receive some Chakra Pills, it will be enough for Otsutsuki Isshiki to complete one evolution.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." One wrong move and the whole game is lost—that's the price Otsutsuki Isshiki has paid for the past two thousand years.

After quickly reading about Isshiki Otsutsuki's experiences over the past two thousand years, Izayoi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she looked somewhat tired.

But that's about it.

Even after absorbing the Ten-Tails' chakra, the combined chakra of everyone in the entire ninja world is still less than his. The future that Izayoi can see now is still only five minutes.

But looking back, even from today to a thousand years ago, one only feels slightly weary.

Even if it doubles, the fatigue only doubles as well.

The difference between things that have already happened and things that haven't happened yet is that big.

Rewinding to before Isshiki and Kaguya Otsutsuki arrived on Earth, a look of realization flashed across Izayoi's eyes.

He finally understood how the Otsutsuki clan searched for and traveled to planets in the universe.

It turns out that he used the Byakugan and other eye techniques to search for planets in the dark and vast universe that were full of life energy, which were completely opposite to the dimness of other dead stars, but instead emitted light. Then he used his space-time abilities to travel over extremely long distances.

It didn't fly here, but teleported here first and then flew slowly.

Therefore, Izayoi increased the consumption of her eye power to view the more distant past of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

This time, Izayoi finally saw the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan and gained a preliminary understanding of this long-lived species that could traverse the universe in their physical bodies, and even had the potential to transcend the world.

This is a race similar to the Saiyans from the Dragon Ball world!
The Saiyans specifically sought out suitable planets to conquer and then sell them, while the Otsutsuki clan specifically sought out suitable planets to cultivate the Divine Tree.

Saiyans can evolve, and so can the Otsutsuki clan. However, unlike Saiyans who transform, the Otsutsuki clan evolves their bodies by consuming chakra fruits or elixirs, thus developing various abilities.

"They're a race where even the highest-ranking Kage are worse than dogs, and the Six Paths are everywhere!"

Through Isshiki Otsutsuki's past, Izayoi witnessed firsthand the planet inhabited by the Otsutsuki clan, and seeing pure-blooded Otsutsuki capable of flying and even tearing through space everywhere, he couldn't help but click his tongue slightly in amazement.

On this planet, ninjas who can fly are extremely rare. Even someone like Onoki doesn't truly fly. Even the mighty Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, had to use the Wood Dragon Technique to fly briefly.

Flying is a privilege reserved for those at the Six Paths level.

No, it's the standard requirement for those who have completed their realm sublimation and become powerful beings who have stepped into other dimensions.

Because even Sasuke Uchiha, who became a Six Paths level powerhouse in the original story, did not have the ability to fly.

Only when Naruto enters Six Paths Sage Mode and grows horns on his head does he gain the ability to fly.

On the planet inhabited by the Otsutsuki clan, flight and space-time abilities are their means of transportation. Children who cannot fly or possess space-time abilities have horns on their heads and incredibly powerful chakra, far surpassing the abilities of Earth's ninjas.

Earth's ninjas, at most the lucky ones, can only awaken their bloodline limit.

The children on that planet are born with the ability to cast spells without hand seals. They either awaken the Byakugan's exclusive eye technique or inherit their fathers' divine techniques or other abilities.

It's absurd that someone possesses extradimensional powers before even reaching adulthood.

However, only such an outrageous race would search the universe for planets with powerful life energy, use the Divine Tree to absorb the energy of those planets and produce Chakra Fruits, devouring the life of the planets in an alternative way to allow their own life level to evolve.

Izayoi continues to watch Isshiki Otsutsuki's past.

Those images, as if rewinding ten thousand times, flashed by rapidly, yet still appeared incredibly slow in the face of Izayoi's dynamic vision with her Rinne Tenseigan.

Suddenly, Izayoi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stopped outputting her pupil power.

Because he saw a picture.

That was the image of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki receiving a vial of green liquid from someone's hand, his expression one of intense excitement.

And what they call this thing is... a supreme treasure!
The Ōtsutsuki clan's most prized treasure, could it be...?

Izayoi finally released the Heavenly Stealth, and after giving her twitching eyelids a few simple eye exercises, she began the next step.

He raised his hand and placed it on the pure black box, causing a slight dent where he touched it.

A moment later, blue and white energy flames, like chakra, surged out from the black box and covered Izayoi's forearm.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a soul.

Although the Otsutsuki clan uses the Karma seal for reincarnation and possession, they, as a long-lived species, also possess souls.

This can be seen from the fact that Otsutsuki Shibai's soul is suspected of transcending this world.

Since it has a soul, it means that soul searching is possible.

Izayoi didn't immediately use Soul Search on Isshiki Otsutsuki simply because she didn't want to receive so much junk information.

The Heavenly Permanent Observer's view of the past is sometimes more convenient than the human realm's soul-searching ability, and it also provides an immersive experience.

However, there are some pieces of information that even Ten no Tsuneritsu cannot obtain.

For example, the chakra alchemy method, the liquid tube, and the usage of the wedge—the answers to these all need to be found in Isshiki Otsutsuki's memories.

Searching the soul of a long-lived species that has lived for thousands of years, finding information as small as a grain of sand in a vast ocean of memories, is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, that applies to ordinary Rinnegan.

Suddenly, a blinding crimson light burst forth from the Rinne Sharingan on Izayoi's forehead, which had already opened.

The next second, the expression of Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was inside the box, or more precisely, residing in Jigen's body and whose body was pierced by needle-like black rods, suddenly became blank.

Then the information that Izayoi wanted suddenly flooded into his mind: he had been under a genjutsu.

Ordinary illusions are naturally ineffective against pure-blooded Otsutsuki, but illusions of the Bloodline Limit level are different.

Under Izayoi's genjutsu hypnosis, Otsutsuki Isshiki automatically recalled those messages, which were then ruthlessly read by Izayoi.

Soon, Izayoi obtained the information she wanted.

"So that's how the Karma is used... It's an incredible ability. No wonder the Ten-Tails was completely outmaneuvered." A look of realization flashed in Izayoi's eyes, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.

The Karma ability is a unique ability of pure-blooded Otsutsuki.

The Otsutsuki clan members are able to use the Karma to copy themselves and digitize their own data, then implant it into the bodies of others.

People who cannot absorb this data will experience rapid physical breakdown and die from their bodies exploding.

Those who can contain data will gain the powerful abilities that come with the data, and their bodies will gradually be modified by the data.

When the data owner has a thought, their soul will instantly come from another body into this body. Then, the original owner's soul will be eliminated like a virus, or absorbed and digested. Along with their original appearance and physical characteristics, it will be like a shell being broken, revealing the true face of the data owner hidden inside.

This is what makes the wedge so terrifying.

Once a wedge is etched into your body and your body is completely altered by data, your life or death becomes entirely in the hands of the data's owner.

It is precisely this ability that allows the pure-blooded Otsutsuki clan to deceive the Ten-Tails time and time again without suffering any harm or loss, turning it into a divine tree to absorb the planet's energy.

Now, Izayoi has also mastered the use of the wedge.

Furthermore, Izayoi also mastered the long-desired... Chakra alchemy method.

That was also related to wedges!
To be precise, it requires the force of a wedge.

Just like the ability of a wedge to digitize itself.

Everyone's data is different. Strong individuals have a lot of data, which can be measured in gigabytes (G).

The data for the weaker party is measured in M ​​units.

Consuming chakra pills to elevate one's life level is equivalent to increasing one's own stats.

These improvements will bring new features to the 'software', which is called an update.

However, to absorb or transplant new data, one needs to use the Rinnegan's abilities.

To be precise, it is the devouring ability of the hungry ghost realm.

This is why Momoshiki Otsutsuki could absorb chakra and refine it into chakra pills using the Rinnegan without needing to obtain a chakra fruit.

And now, Izayoi has also mastered such power.

Thinking of this, Izayoi's mood instantly became incredibly joyful.

Finally, we've found a way to extend lifespan!

His dream, or rather his goal, has finally been half realized!
