The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Hearing Hyuga Zetsu's bluntness surprised Hyuga Neji.

Hinata Zetsu actually told him directly?

"First, by constantly refining the Byakugan and enhancing one's own eye power, one can break through the bottleneck of the Byakugan and obtain the power of the Tenseigan."

Enhance pupil power?

"How far am I from awakening the power of the Tenseigan?"

A look of anticipation appeared on Neji's face.

"If we take your current eye power as a benchmark, and increase it four or five times, you might be able to touch the threshold of the Tenseigan."

The next moment, Hyuga Zechen's words made Neji's face darken.

Four or five times?

While the Gentle Fist can be improved through years of training, improving one's pupil power is extremely difficult. Let alone increasing it four or five times, even a tiny increase is incredibly difficult, and it's highly likely that one will put in tremendous effort but achieve nothing.

Looking at the disappointed Neji, Hyuga Zechen's eyes revealed a smile.

Unless you also have a cheat code, this path is almost completely blocked.

Four or five times is already a modest estimate for Hyuga Zetsu. Just by looking at the purple and gold Tenseigan on the moon, one can roughly estimate just how difficult it is to achieve a qualitative change by improving one's eye power.

It takes at least hundreds of white eyes to trigger a qualitative change and awaken the Reincarnation Eye.

"Secondly, we can compensate for the deficiencies in the Hyuga clan's bloodline through human blood transplantation. Although this is a shortcut, it is extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake could lead to death!"

Bloodline transplant?

Neji trembled and looked up at Hyuga Sawatatsu. Clearly, this action had a significant impact on Neji's mind.

Blood transplantation is a major event, especially when it involves transplanting blood into one's own body, so extreme caution is required.

Although Hyuga Sawatatsu had already collected the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku and the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline, he had not yet tried to use them because he lacked a human test subject.

There was no better human test subject than Hyuga Neji.

Chapter 106 Meeting Orochimaru

"According to the village's rules, it is not allowed to spy on the bloodline limits of other families."

It's not hard to tell from Hyuga Neji's changing expression that he's already tempted, but he seems a bit conflicted due to Konoha's rules.

"First of all, the transplanted bloodlines all come from outside the village, not from the ninja clans of Konoha. Secondly, in terms of the origin of the bloodline, if we trace it back a thousand years, they all come from the same ancestor."

Hearing Hinata Zechen's explanation eased Neji's expression somewhat.

Hinata Sawa pointed casually, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed, forming a clear water mirror in front of him, reflecting the image of Otsutsuki Hamura.

"This is Hamura Otsutsuki. He is not only the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, but also the bloodline ancestor of our Hyuga clan. Our Hyuga clan's Byakugan bloodline limit originates from his mother. In addition, there is the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure, who inherited the physique of their ancestor Hamura, which is the bloodline limit Shikotsumyaku."

The Sage of Six Paths' younger brother?

Neji's mouth opened slightly, clearly for the first time he was unaware that the Hyuga clan could be associated with the Sage of Six Paths.

"No wonder you paid so much attention to that Sound Ninja who controlled bones last time, just because he's a close relative of our family?"

Recalling the battle between Hyuga Sawatatsu and Kimimaro, Neji's eyes gleamed slightly.

Unlike the Sound Four, Kimimaro could unleash Jonin-level strength even without using the Cursed Seal, relying solely on the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), which left a deep impression on Neji at the time.

Why are you willing to help me?

After a long silence, Neji looked at Hyuga Sawa and voiced his doubts.

"After all, bloodline transplantation carries significant risks, and we must first find someone to gain experience with."

Such straightforward words immediately shattered the slight emotion Neji felt.

However, this actually put Neji's worries at ease.

Since everyone benefits from each other, there's no need to incur debts of gratitude that are difficult to repay.

"When does it begin?"

Neji's breathing gradually became rapid, and he quickly made up his mind.

Neji, who was only three years old when he was subjected to the Caged Bird Technique, was so eager to gain power to change his own destiny that he was unwilling to give up any possibility.

"It's not possible yet. First, Kimimaro's bloodline limit condition is not yet completely stable, and transplantation could bring unnecessary risks. Second, bloodline transplantation is difficult for ordinary medical ninjas to perform, so we must find a suitable candidate."

In Hinata Zechen's mind, an image of a man wearing glasses had already appeared.

Yakushi Kabuto.

A man who simultaneously transplanted more than five different abilities into one body grows from an unknown war orphan into a genius no less than Kakashi, and finally even cultivates Sage Mode to shed his snake skin and sublimate into a dragon soaring through the nine heavens. It can be called one of the most inspiring stories in the ninja world.

However, it will take a little trick to lure out this cobra lurking around Orochimaru.

-----------------

A fierce battle is taking place in a secret base deep underground.

One side of the battle was Sasuke Uchiha, who had defected to Orochimaru, while the other side consisted of dozens of Sound Ninja under Orochimaru's command.

With the Kusanagi sword in hand, Sasuke moved like a wolf among sheep. Each swing of the sword killed an enemy. When he saw multiple Sound Ninjas trying to attack him together, he would use his ninjutsu to burn them to ashes, keeping the Sound Ninjas fighting alone and unable to pose a threat to Sasuke.

"Lord Orochimaru, Sasuke-kun's progress under your tutelage is astonishing."

On a distant boulder, Orochimaru and Kabuto stood side by side, gazing at Sasuke, who had already shown signs of a complete transformation. Kabuto barely managed to conceal the envy deep in his eyes.

Why is it that the results I achieved with so much effort seem so insignificant in the face of true geniuses?

"I always thought that Sasuke's talent was somewhat inferior to his brother's. I never imagined that it was actually hidden by the decay of Konoha."

Orochimaru's covetousness was almost tangible; if it weren't for the fact that the next Reanimation Jutsu would require a three-year interval, Orochimaru would have already been unable to suppress his desire for the Sharingan.

"Kabuto, what's wrong?"

Just then, Kabuto suddenly showed a look of pain on his face, which attracted Orochimaru's attention.

"I never expected that Lord Scorpion would contact me at a time like this. The last time was two years ago."

The pain lasted only two breaths before completely dissipating, and Yakushi Kabuto wore a rather strange expression.

"scorpion?"

Orochimaru's vertical pupils trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was also moved.

"Things are starting to get interesting..."

Orochimaru's hoarse laughter echoed incessantly, sending chills down one's spine.

As a member of the Akatsuki organization, or rather as a spy planted by Sasori of the Red Sand beside Orochimaru, Kabuto was captivated by Orochimaru's charisma early on and voluntarily confessed everything to him.

Orochimaru lived up to Kabuto's expectations, breaking free of the Mind Control Sand's manipulation of Kabuto. However, he only pretended to be under control to extract information from Sasori and the Akatsuki, misleading Sasori into believing that Kabuto was always loyal to him.

The last time Sasori and Deidara raided Orochimaru's secret base, Orochimaru had already learned of the situation in advance. He not only moved all the personnel and equipment away beforehand, but also specially summoned the Third Kazekage, who was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, in an attempt to kill Sasori and Deidara in order to obtain more corpses of powerful individuals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"Orochimaru, quickly teach me new ninjutsu, or prepare a new opponent for me!"

Before Kabuto could speak again, Sasuke Uchiha, who had already slaughtered all the Sound Ninja, coldly shook the blood off his Kusanagi sword and walked up to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, stopped discussing Sasori and refocused their attention on Sasuke.

-----------------

Three days later, on an island located in the north.

A figure dressed in a light blue robe, completely concealing its appearance, walked out of the dense forest step by step, and finally stopped by a small river.

A gust of wind carrying a lot of leaves blew by, slightly lifting the hood of his coat to reveal Kabuto Yakushi's face.

"Orochimaru came along too. It seems they intend to eliminate Sasori?"

Hyuga Sawatatsu, who was flying high in the sky, quickly spotted Orochimaru hiding deep in the dense forest.

Now that the main character had appeared, Hyuga Sawatatsu wasted no time and descended from the sky without any disguise, like a shooting star, appearing in front of Yakushi Kabuto.

"How could it be you, Lord Scorpion?"

Faced with Hyuga Zetsu, who made a rather ostentatious entrance, Yakushi Kabuto subconsciously took a step back, his brows furrowing slightly.

For a moment, he couldn't understand why it was Hinata Sawatatsu who was here.

"Summon Orochimaru behind you as well, there's no need to waste time."

Hinata Zechen wore a faint smile as he turned his gaze to the dense forest behind Yakushi Kabuto.

"It seems that Scorpion has already fallen into your hands."

With a flash of black shadow, Orochimaru appeared beside Kabuto Yakushi, looking at Hyuga Sawatatsu.

Chapter 107 Purple Wheel Reincarnation Explosion

"So, your goal is to take Sasuke away from me?"

Orochimaru first glanced around, not recognizing any other familiar figures from Konoha, and then began to probe Hyuga Sawatatsu's intentions.

"No, since Sasuke has made his choice, I will only choose to respect it. Otherwise, how could Sasuke have left so easily in the first place?"

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon hearing Hyuga Zetsu's answer.

It seems that, compared to those idiots like Jiraiya and Tsunade, Hyuga Sawatatsu is not bound by the Will of Fire.

"So, Ze Chen-kun, when will you return Kimimaro to me?"

Nothing, big or small, happens in Konoha Village without Orochimaru's notice, so the information that Kimimaro appeared at Konoha Hospital was already known to Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru consulted Kabuto Yakushi and deduced that Kimimaro's life was hanging by a thread and he could die at any moment, so he ignored him and focused most of his energy on nurturing Sasuke.

However, as so much time passed, Orochimaru sensed something was wrong and guessed that Tsunade had stabilized Kimimaro's bloodline disease. So he secretly sent several spies planted in Konoha to make contact with Kimimaro, but they all disappeared without a trace.

Considering that Kimimaro was Hyuga Sawatatsu's prisoner, Orochimaru immediately identified the suspect and deliberately spoke to test him.

"I've come here specifically for Kimimaro's sake. In order to cure Kimimaro's illness as soon as possible, could you please ask this Yakushi Kabuto to make a trip for me?"

Hyuga Sawa's request completely surprised Orochimaru and Kabuto, leaving the two looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Are you joking? Konoha already knows Kabuto's identity. If he shows up in Konoha, he'll probably be thrown into prison immediately, right?"

Orochimaru gave a cold laugh and directly rejected Hyuga Zetsu's suggestion.
