Before Shinichi Hyuga, the corpse of Ryuuichi Otsutsuki had inexplicably turned into a pile of dust.

Glancing at Ryushiki's corpse, Shinichi Hyuga also reached out and looked at his palm again. The originally black, rhomboid wedge had transformed into a dazzling gold. In the short time Shinichi Hyuga looked down to examine it, the shape of the wedge collapsed, and Shinichi Hyuga could feel that as the wedge disintegrated, his own chakra began to increase dramatically again.

The color of the wedge faded, and Shinichi Hyuga's chakra grew larger and more terrifying.

"Ok?"

This strange feeling made Shinichi let out a soft murmur.

After carefully sensing it, Shinichi Hyuga looked at Ryushiki's corpse and murmured with emotion:

"Ren Dan..."

"It's truly a tragic fate."

"Now, I not only want to thank you for the ninja tools you brought me, but also for the power you gave me."

As his chakra grew ever larger, Shinichi Hyuga's Tenseigan shone even brighter in the dim cave. His eye power had increased significantly once again.

All of this was brought to him by the Otsutsuki Ryushiki in front of him.

The rapidly increasing chakra gradually calmed down. Shinichi Hyuga looked around at his surroundings, then condensed a chakra ball in his hand and detonated it directly in the cave.

Before the explosion occurred, Shinichi Hyuga had already left the underground cave using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That night, a mountain in the Land of Lightning was engulfed in raging flames, and the explosions were like thunder, echoing across the night sky. The sound traveled for miles, and even people in the Hidden Cloud Village heard it, thinking that a thunderstorm was approaching.

The secret base of Ōtsutsuki Ryūshiki was completely destroyed. Everything inside the base was buried under the collapsed mountain, and no one knew that a great battle had taken place there.

...

Shinichi Hyuga returned to the Hyuga family home immediately after leaving the cave. Dealing with Ryushiki Otsutsuki did not take Shinichi too much effort. When he returned home, Toneri was still unconscious.

Ōtsutsuki Ryūshiki didn't hold back when he attacked Toneri, and the boy was far from reaching his peak. He simply couldn't withstand Ryūshiki's attack.

He slowly approached Toneri's side, and Yang-attribute chakra surged into Toneri's body, quickly repairing his injuries. Under Shinichi Hyuga's treatment, Toneri finally woke up.

However, at this moment, Shiren's memory was still stuck on the moment he was attacked. The instant he woke up, his body reacted instinctively, and he immediately threw a punch at Shinichi Hyuga beside him.

This child... is already showing signs of stress.

Shinichi Hyuga easily caught Toneri's fist with a simple outstretched hand. At the same time, Shinichi's gentle voice reached Toneri's ears:

"Don't be nervous, it's me, Sheren."

"It's alright, I've eliminated the enemy. Calm down."

Shinichi Hyuga's words were gentle yet firm, and the familiar voice quickly brought Shigeru back to his senses. His somewhat blurry vision gradually came into focus, and when he saw Shinichi Hyuga kneeling beside him, Shigeru was first stunned, and then, feeling a bit scared, he hugged Shinichi Hyuga tightly.

"Big brother..."

This was the first time Sheren had ever let his emotions out without restraint. To be honest, the moment he saw the enemy clearly, Sheren's mind went blank. Knowing the difference in strength between himself and the enemy, Sheren even felt despair at one point.

Unexpectedly, the first person I saw after waking up was not an enemy, but my sworn brother, Shinichi Hyuga.

Having spent some time with Toneri, Shinichi had already gained his trust, and this encounter with danger further deepened the bond between Toneri and Shinichi.

Sheren is a child who lacks a sense of security, and he grew up in an insecure environment. Compared to other children, once Sheren finds someone he can trust in his interpersonal relationships, he subconsciously develops a strong sense of dependence on that person.

Shinichi Hyuga is the only one who has entered the heart of the person who has been with him all these years, and the trust and reliance on Shinichi Hyuga goes without saying.

Sensing Shiren's emotional fluctuations, Shinichi did not push Shiren away, but gently patted Shiren's back to soothe his tense emotions.

After a long while, Sheren's emotions gradually calmed down, and then he asked the willful Shinichi curiously:

"Brother, who is that person?"

"How is he now?"

Although his connection with Ryushiki Otsutsuki was only fleeting, Toneri could feel a strong sense of familiarity and warmth from Ryushiki.

Sheren began to have some doubts about the attacker's identity.

"The enemy is called Ōtsutsuki Ryushiki."

"They are from the Otsutsuki clan."

“Strictly speaking, he is your kin, but that guy is not your companion.”

"He appeared because he was attracted by your Tenseigan."

"I have already killed the person. You can rest in peace now, Sheren. With me here, no one can harm you."

Shinichi Hyuga took a pillow from the tatami mat and placed it under Toneri Hiroshi's neck, comforting him so he could lie down and rest.

Although Shiren's spirits had calmed down a bit after the attack, he was still capable of sleeping alone.

With Shinichi by his side, Shiten curled up back into bed and quickly fell asleep. His exhaustion made him fall asleep very fast, and soon, soft snores echoed in Shiten's room.

Seeing that Toneri had fallen asleep, Shinichi Hyuga quietly left the room, closed the front door, and returned to his own room.

Tonight was equally fruitful for Shinichi. He not only used Otsutsuki Ryushiki to conduct a simple assessment of his own strength, but also successfully killed his opponent and seized the ninja tool that could travel through time. At the same time, Otsutsuki Ryushiki, who was burdened with the fate of the Human Pill, did not completely escape a tragedy.

His power was eventually absorbed by Shinichi Hyuga. His powerful physique and superhuman chakra alone made him unmatched by ordinary ninjas. Now, this power has perfectly merged with Shinichi's own power, giving Shinichi a terrifying combat strength comparable to a high-ranking Otsutsuki.

What's even more terrifying is that, as his eye power and chakra expand and strengthen, if Shinichi Hyuga successfully trains in Sage Mode in the future, the natural power he can gather will become incredibly vast, and the effects of Sage Mode will be greatly enhanced.

After all... with his current chakra reserves, he wouldn't even be able to enter Sage Mode without absorbing a sufficient amount of natural energy. Of course, a larger amount of chakra means a larger amount of natural energy needs to be controlled.

The difficulty of cultivating immortal arts is actually increasing in a roundabout way.

However, Shinichi wasn't too worried about this. With the power of his Tenseigan, there were very few people in the world who could pose a threat to him.

Putting aside the fact that he had a smooth journey in cultivating immortal arts, even if he really couldn't master immortal arts, he was still a powerful ninja with terrifying strength. Even if he really faced a crisis, he wouldn't be completely powerless to resist.

Back in his room, Shinichi Hyuga didn't immediately fall asleep. He retrieved the Tang hoe from the alternate dimension and, by the soft moonlight, carefully examined this treasure of the Otsutsuki clan.

There is no instruction manual for this thing, and there are no inscriptions on the surface of the turtle or the small box on its shell. If you want to know how to use this thing, you may need some time to analyze and study it.

After playing with it for a few minutes without finding anything, Shinichi Hyuga put the treasure away again. Then, lying on the tatami mat, before falling asleep, a thought echoed in Shinichi's mind:

[Perhaps...consuming more Otsutsuki will make me stronger!?]

...

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Hiashi Hyuga had already made arrangements for Toneri's schooling. Since the child had never been to school before, and because he lived alone on the moon, he had never been exposed to any academic subjects.

If it weren't for Hiashi's strong connections and the fact that Minato Namikaze, the current honorary principal of the Ninja Academy, knew about Toneri's special circumstances, Toneri wouldn't have been qualified to study at the Ninja Academy at all.

Even now that Hiashi has gotten Toneri into school, he still needs to start from the most basic class.

They will need to start learning from the most basic cultural subjects; this may be the harsh reality that Sheren will have to face for the foreseeable future.

The junior classes at the ninja academy consist of talented children aged 6 or 7. It's a bit ridiculous that nearly 11-year-old Toneri has to attend school with children of that age.

However, this is a process of Toneri integrating into Konoha, and it cannot be abandoned. Keeping him confined within the clan and preventing him from interacting with other children his age in the village is not suitable for Toneri's growth.

The environment at the ninja school is complex and complicated. Younger children might treat older classmates differently, and there is even a possibility of exclusion or bullying.

Shinichi isn't worried about physical abuse, but he is worried about the impact of emotional abuse on Toneri's psychological development.

Therefore, during this week, Shinichi repeatedly gave Toneri a "precautionary talk," telling him to be mentally prepared for prejudice and not to take it to heart. He also told him to focus on his studies, and that as long as he learned his academic subjects quickly, he would be able to quickly advance to a higher grade.

Therefore, Toneri was full of confidence, saying in his own words that he would not let Shinichi down...

I won't let Shinichi down.

This may be the goal that Sheren strives for.

On the day Toneri enrolled in school, the Hyuga family took it very seriously. Hiashi, Hanako, and Shinichi Hyuga led Toneri and Hinata to the school.

Hinata is now extremely familiar with life at the Ninja Academy. If it weren't for safety reasons, she wouldn't need anyone to pick her up or drop her off.

The main purpose of Hiashi, Hanako, and Shinichi was to send Toneri off to school, and this small sense of ceremony left a deep impression on Toneri.

In front of the Ninja Academy gate.

Shinichi and the others watched as Toneri was led into the school building by Mizuki, the teacher at the Ninja Academy. Hinata felt a little jealous of their concerned expressions.

Hinata's little mood didn't last long. As several classmates arrived at the school, Hinata quickly escaped from Shinichi and the others and headed towards the classroom with her friends.

Ino, a classmate, seemed to have noticed Shinichi, Toneri, and the others who came to school with Hinata, and asked them curiously on the way to the classroom:

"Hinata, what happened? Did your parents bring you to school together?"

"By the way, who are those two people who came with your parents? I've never seen them before."

Ino held Hinata's hand, her mind flashing with images of Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri, her heart filled with curiosity.

During Hinata's years at the Ninja Academy, both Hiashi Hyuga and Hanako Hyuga picked her up and dropped her off. Ino had seen them a few times and had also heard Hinata talk about it.

However, Shinichi Hyuga, who was away from home most of the year, rarely came to the Ninja Academy. Perhaps Ino had never seen him on the few occasions he did come, so she was unfamiliar with him. As for Toneri, needless to say, Ino had never met him.

Children in the ninja world mature early. Although Ino is young, she has already developed a crush on her comrade Sasuke Uchiha. However, she is also curious about other handsome and outstanding people.

At this point, her curiosity about her husband had reached an "off-the-charts" level.

"Who?"

Are you talking about my brother and his retainer?
