People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Yosuke was already used to the strange things that happened in this world.

For example, if the moon was formed in order to seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki, then was there no moon in this world before?

For example, in order to guard the Gedo Mazo, Hamura Otsutsuki led the Otsutsuki clan to move to the moon. Does the moon have oxygen?

How do they survive on the moon if there is no oxygen?

...

Yosuke found Neji.

It was late at night, and Neji was still training alone.

Neji was extremely anxious.

Although he had decided to follow Sasuke, he could never catch up with him no matter how hard he tried, and the gap between them kept widening.

To be honest, he can't help Sasuke at all, and might even become a burden to him.

Neji was not content with this; he wanted to become stronger, strong enough to stand beside Sasuke.

However, Neji was powerless to change his fate, as if his talent had reached its limit. No matter how hard he tried, his progress had almost stagnated.

"Neji, you're really diligent, still training late at night," Yosuke praised.

Neji's voice was filled with extreme disappointment: "No matter how hard I work, if I don't have talent, I just don't have talent. I'm just doing useless work."

Neji then perked up and asked, "What brings you here, Lord Yosuke?"

Yosuke smiled and said, "This is good news for you; it will resolve the confusion you're currently facing."

Neji asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with me right now?"

Neji's current predicament is simply a matter of strength...

suddenly.

Neji suddenly looked up: "Does Lord Yosuke intend to guide my training?"

Through Sasuke's introduction, I learned that Sasuke, Kaori, Jugo, and others had all received guidance from Yosuke, and their strength had greatly improved.

If Neji could receive guidance from Yosuke, he felt that his strength would definitely break through to a higher level.

Yosuke touched his nose: "I can guide you in your cultivation, but that's not why I came to see you this time."

Neji, upon hearing Yosuke's agreement, hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Lord Yosuke."

However, Neji suddenly realized that Yosuke hadn't come to see him because of this matter.

"Does Lord Yosuke have summoned me for something you need me to do?"

"No, but if you succeed, your strength will undergo a qualitative leap, and you might even directly gain the same strength as Sasuke now."

Yosuke's words immediately made Neji's eyes light up, and he asked eagerly, "Lord Yosuke, what is it?"

"It's about evolving your eye roll."

Neji was completely bewildered: "Byakugan evolution? But our Byakugan can't evolve like the Uchiha clan's."

"No, the Byakugan can evolve, it's just that no one has ever done it before. The evolution of the Byakugan is the Tenseigan. The Rinnegan is the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, while the Tenseigan is the ultimate evolution of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

Neji was filled with excitement. If he could awaken the Tenseigan, he would definitely be able to help Sasuke.

Neji knelt before Yosuke: "Please help me, Lord Yosuke, help me awaken the Tenseigan. I don't want to be a burden to Sasuke; I want to fight alongside him!"

Yosuke helped Neji up: "Don't worry, this time, not only will I help you, but others will too."

"Are there other people?"

Yosuke kept Neji in suspense: "You'll find out when the time comes. Get ready, we'll set off at dawn. We don't have much time left. The sooner we acquire new power, the greater our chances of winning the battle will be."

Neji nodded: "I understand, Lord Yosuke."

After saying goodbye to Neji, Yosuke found Itachi and told him that he was going to the moon.

Itachi was startled by Yosuke's idea: "Master, how could we possibly reach the moon? That's already beyond our planet."

"This is not a whim of mine, but something that being told me could grant me new power, including Neji."

Itachi understood; the being Yosuke was referring to must be the mysterious Sage of Six Paths.

"Master, when are you leaving?"

"We'll set off tomorrow morning. The earlier we go, the more time we'll have. We don't know when Madara Uchiha will appear, so we need to go as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."

Itachi nodded and said, "Alright, Master, we'll wait for you to come back here."

"If anything unexpected happens, find Osamu and Gyutaro. They can contact me directly. If Madara Uchiha appears, remember, don't fight him head-on. Minato knows his Rinnegan abilities very well. You can ask Minato."

Yosuke explained Itachi's situation in as much detail as possible.

Yosuke was very worried that if he returned too late, this world would become similar to the world of the Dragon Vein.

Yosuke's expression suddenly turned serious: "Itachi, if the situation really gets worse, then let Minato find Obito. Obito and the current Akatsuki have the same goal as us. They also don't want to see Madara Uchiha defeat the Allied Shinobi Forces, because it would be detrimental to them. We can ask them to cooperate with us."

"Don't worry, Master, I'll take care of everything."

Yosuke was also confident in Itachi's abilities: "Then I'll leave everything to you."

After daybreak, Yosuke left Kagerou Village with Neji.

After leaving Kagerou Village, Neji asked, "Lord Yosuke, how do we get to the moon?"

"Don't worry, we have travel permits."

Yosuke opened his palm, and a radiant butterfly appeared in it.

This butterfly was the work of the Sage of Rokudo, designed to guide Yosuke to the moon.

Yang Jie and Ning traveled day and night and arrived at a forest covered in snow.

Guided by the butterflies, we arrived at a cave deep in the forest.

The glowing butterflies vanished instantly.

This indicates that the entrance to the moon is inside the cave.

Yosuke and Neji ventured deeper into the cave and discovered a glowing spring inside.

On the wall to the side, some words were carved.

As a ninja, Neji recognized a few of the characters: "These are the 'A's from the ninja script 'AUN,' which probably means 'start from here.'"

"Neji, can you use your Byakugan to see what's beneath this spring?"

Neji activated his Byakugan and looked down into the spring: "No, my vision is distorted, I can't see anything."

"Then I'll have to go down and see for myself. I'll go down first."

Yosuke jumped into the spring and was surprised to find that he could actually breathe in the water.

"Neji, come down."

Neji followed closely behind and jumped into the water.

As the two went deeper into the water, they began to see floating, spherical rocks all around them, emitting light.

Chapter 356 The Village

Yosuke and Neji went deep into the spring.

suddenly.

A figure appeared on a suspended spherical rock.

"Humans from Earth, this is not a place for you. Leave immediately!"

Neji pulled out a kunai and looked warily at the stranger who had suddenly appeared: "Who are you?!"

"So you're the inheritor of the Byakugan, and the purity of it isn't low either. I am Otsutsuki Toneri, the guardian of Earth!"

Yosuke guessed, "Otsutsuki Toneri? Could you be a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura?"

The Sage of Six Paths said that his younger brother, a descendant of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, lives on the moon. Since this is a passage to the moon, it means that the person in front of us is a descendant of Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

Otsutsuki Toneri looked at Yosuke: "I know you. You come from another world and are one of the culprits who have disrupted the stability of Earth, causing constant wars throughout the world. The Sage of Six Paths actually tolerates your existence. As expected, the world he created was a failure and should be destroyed!"

Yosuke and Neji frowned; it seemed the person before them was an enemy.

Instead of launching an attack, Otsutsuki Toneri invited Neji, saying, "I was waiting here for the Byakugan princess to arrive, but your Byakugan is so pure and sealed. Your talent shouldn't stop here. Become my companion and join me in creating a brand new world!"

Neji frowned and looked at Otsutsuki Toneri, saying, "Madman!"

When Neji called him a madman, Toneri Otsutsuki didn't take it seriously: "Your Hyuga clan also inherited the bloodline of Hamura Otsutsuki a thousand years ago."

The Sage of Six Paths feared the Ten-Tails, which possessed immense chakra. He worried that the Ten-Tails' immeasurable power might bring calamity to the world. Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths took the chakra from the Ten-Tails and distributed it among the nine tailed beasts to weaken the Ten-Tails' power. He then sealed the chakra-less body of the Ten-Tails, namely the Gedo Mazo, on the moon.

To ensure the Ten-Tails would never be resurrected and to protect the Gedo Mazo, Hamura Otsutsuki decided to live on the moon, while the Sage of Six Paths became the progenitor of ninjas on Earth.

However, Hamura Otsutsuki harbored doubts about the world created by the Sage of Six Paths. Therefore, he entrusted his descendants with the task of destroying the world created by the Sage of Six Paths if it deviated from the ninja way.

Over the next thousand years, the ninjas on Earth were constantly at odds, using chakra as a weapon. Finally, they stole the Gedo Mazo from the moon.

Our clan has come to the conclusion that the ninjas of Earth are the culprits who have disrupted the world's peace and order. The world created by the Sage of Six Paths has failed, so we obey Hamura Otsutsuki's destiny to destroy the Sage of Six Paths' world! Then we will recreate it, creating the peaceful world of our dreams!

Therefore, the Hyuga clan, as descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, should also obey Hamura Otsutsuki's destiny!

Yosuke sighed helplessly, “Another guy who’s always talking about destroying the world.”

Neji said resolutely, "I am Hyuga Neji. I no longer belong to the Hyuga clan, nor am I a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura. I am who I am!"

Otsutsuki Toneri sighed, "Since you're unwilling, then offer me your Byakugan!"

No sooner had Ōtsutsuki Toneri finished speaking than he attacked Neji.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Neji used compressed air to strike Otsutsuki Toneri.

Otsutsuki Toneri easily dodged all of Neji's Eight Trigrams Palm.

Seeing that Otsutsuki Toneri had once again taken the initiative to approach him.

Neji assumed the Gentle Fist starting stance.

"Gentle Fist Technique? Eight Trigrams Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms!"
