Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

As a terrifying surge of chakra swept outwards, everything in Takigakure seemed to be put on pause.

Everyone, no matter what they were doing, stopped at the same time.

They made only one move: with faces full of horror, they stiffly turned their heads toward the sacred tree in the center of the village.

Their bodies trembled instinctively, yet they couldn't resist the urge to pursue the unknown and the powerful.

After a while, everyone came to their senses.

"What exactly happened at the sacred tree? Investigate immediately!" the village elders cried out in fear.

On the other side, at the base of the giant tree.

Kaguya Kazama paid no attention to the energy fluctuations that swept through Takigakure. He simply stared at himself in the mirror and reached out to touch the bone horn on his forehead.

It was icy cold, with a peculiar, frosted texture, and had grown three times its original size.

Gone is the delicate and exquisite form it once was; now, the bone horns appear sharp and piercing, exuding extraordinary power.

"Haha, I like how I am now."

Kaguya Kazama was very satisfied with her current appearance; she had lost all her childishness and her entire body exuded a powerful and beautiful aura.

He then opened the information interface on the obelisk.

[Evolver: Kaguya Kazama]

Chakra Level: 300 calories

Chakra Properties: Water, Lightning, Yang, Yin

[Bloodline: Pureblood Otsutsuki, Young/Adult]

[Bloodline Awakening Skill: All-Out Attack on Ash Bones and the Seed of the Wedge]

[Bloodline Limits: Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan, Storm Release, Blood Release]

Status: Healthy

[Equation List: Yin + Yang = Yin Yang Escape (25% Energy)]

"The total amount of chakra has increased tenfold."

Looking at the alarming number on the interface, Kaguya Kazama clicked her tongue, somewhat dissatisfied.

According to the research results of Hero's Water, an ordinary Jonin can increase his chakra limit by twenty to thirty times just by drinking a sip.

But even after he had almost finished the whole bottle, his performance had only increased tenfold.

"If I could increase it by thirty times, that would be 900 calories. I bet even the Nine-Tails would be stunned if it saw me."

However, considering that he was an Otsutsuki, he felt relieved.

The reason why the Hero's Water can work on me is mainly because this tree has absorbed the roots of the Divine Tree.

If it were replaced with trees native to the ninja world, it's uncertain whether it would be effective.

Another change on the interface is that the bloodline section now includes the suffix "youth".

According to his understanding, no matter what form the juvenile takes, even if it is an old man with white hair, as long as it has not absorbed enough cosmic energy to evolve into a mature form, it will always be classified as a juvenile.

This has nothing to do with life forms; it only concerns the order of progression in the evolutionary path.

"Special cosmic energy, mature form, the ultimate evolution of the Byakugan..."

Kaguya Kazama stroked her chin, lost in thought.

He was brainstorming while looking at the "Status" section on the interface.

Seeing that the status was still "healthy" and that drinking the Hero's Water had not reduced his lifespan limit, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The Otsutsuki truly are a race with the potential to become gods.

This substance, which is highly toxic to humans, is merely a super nutrient to aid the growth of the Otsutsuki.

Finally, he turned his attention to the "List of Equations" section.

Yin + Yang = Yin-Yang Escape (25% Charge)

Following Blood Release, he plans to evolve Yin-Yang Release.

This is a very special ability, and it's hard to say whether it can be classified as a bloodline limit.

However, Yin-Yang Escape is absolutely powerful.

He now possesses four bloodline limits: Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan, Storm Release, and Blood Release, covering taijutsu, ninjutsu, detection, and healing. He only needs a genjutsu-type bloodline limit to fully cover his weaknesses.

However, he has no clue about the bloodline limit of illusion techniques, so he plans to first unlock the Yin-Yang Release.

According to the theories of the ninja world, Yin-Yang Release is a technique for creating all things.

Yin Dun (陰遁) creates form from nothingness.

Yang Dun (阳遁) bestows form and destiny.

The Rinnegan grants the user the ability to use Yin-Yang Release upon awakening.

The black rod is probably the most basic application of Yin-Yang Escape.

Pain possesses the Rinnegan and can use it.

Otsutsuki Isshiki did not possess the Rinnegan, but he likely developed Yin-Yang Release on his own, which also allowed him to use it.

The Truth-Seeking Ball is formed by fusing Yin-Yang Release with the five elemental chakras and belongs to the Bloodline Limit.

The Yang and Yin powers possessed by the Sage of Six Paths are likely skills developed to their fullest potential through the Yin-Yang Release technique, making them even more powerful.

With so many precedents, Kaguya Kazama is even more eager to see the performance of Yin-Yang Release.

"My chakra has increased tenfold. According to the charging law, it won't even take a day to evolve a bloodline limit."

"Obelisk, charge it." He immediately began to try.

As the command was given, Kaguya Kazama felt her chakra being rapidly extracted.

But this extraction is nothing compared to before.

After consuming approximately 50 chakra, Yin-Yang Release had fully evolved.

[Equation List: Yin + Yang = Yin-Yang Escape, Evolution Successful.]

"It's too fast. The later it gets, the stronger I will become."

Kaguya Kazama was amazed. She spread her palms, activated Yin-Yang Release, and prepared to see what the black rod was.

Soon, a black rod that looked very similar to the Ash Bones of the Common Killer emerged from the palm of his hand.

It was pitch black and incredibly smooth, unlike the cracked ash bones of the All-Killing Corpse.

It sounds like metal when you tap it, and its hardness is good enough that it won't be easily broken by blades like kunai.

However, aside from the fact that black rods could be created at will, Kaguya Kazama could no longer sense any other special abilities of Yin-Yang Release.

"The Yin-Yang Release technique has enormous potential, but it needs to be developed."

Kaguya Kazama toyed with the black rod; this thing was incredibly useful.

The black rod is not only a perfect chakra receiver, but also has the powerful ability to seal chakra points and disrupt chakra flow.

Pain used it to create a chakra amplification receiver, which allowed him to remotely control the Six Paths puppets in battle.

Kaguya Kazama even estimated that the Akatsuki's rings were made of black rods.

Another Otsutsuki Isshiki, who used the power of his black eye to create all sorts of amazing effects with his black rod.

In the story, they brutally beat Naruto and Sasuke, leaving them bleeding on the battlefield.

He was pondering how to shape the black rod into something else when, unexpectedly, the water at the entrance burst open, and a group of ninjas from Takigakure rushed in.

"Who are you?" The Takigakure ninja exclaimed in surprise as soon as he saw someone inside.

Having felt Kaguya Kazama's oppressive aura up close, they were trembling all over.

Beads of cold sweat dripped down their foreheads, but forced by their duty to protect the village, they had no choice but to fight back with kunai in hand.

Kaguya Kazama had no intention of killing them; she was merely releasing a massive amount of chakra.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure erupted.

These Takigakure members were merely Jonin, not even elites. Faced with Kaguya Kazama's overwhelming chakra power surpassing that of a Tailed Beast, they instantly collapsed to their knees.

Their limbs went weak, their hearts pounded, their faces turned pale, and fine white sweat broke out all over their bodies. Apart from bowing their heads in submission, they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Kaguya Kazama glanced at the kneeling people but ignored them.

His body floated up, his white hair flowing, and he flew outwards.

Now is the time to intimidate Takigakure Village with my own strength.
