Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Container for the Ōtsutsuki Cells

The Shinobi World, the forbidden ground behind the Hyūga Clan's ancestral mountain.
"I think..." Hyūga Kenji swayed his dizzy head, feeling the urge to vomit. "Your space-time ninjutsu needs some improvement."
Long-distance teleportation feels like riding a boat, with a swaying sensation that can make some people feel nauseous or even vomit.
Poor Hyūga Kenji, who would never be able to master the simplest space-time ninjutsu even in ten lifetimes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hyūga Tenjin spoke, sincerely thanking Kyōsuke.
The young man from the Uchiha clan would never have guessed that the key to awakening the Tenseigan would lie on the Moon.
Now that they had acquired the body of the Ōtsutsuki clan's head, with some time for experimentation, Hyūga could create a powerful expert beyond the clan leader level.
His own abilities had already plateaued, with little room for further development. Such a precious bloodline shouldn't be wasted on him.
Moreover, Hyūga Tenjin had agreed to the alliance request from the Uchiha clan and didn't have time to slowly cultivate the eye.
But his son was different. He was young and had immense potential for growth.
As long as the transplant succeeded, he would definitely gain that legendary ultimate power.
Thinking about this, he couldn't hold back his excitement. "Give me a few days. I'll make the arrangements, and then we can depart immediately."
"Please feel free, Tenjin Clan Leader," Kyōsuke said, understanding, and left.
He knew that Hyūga Tenjin would begin research immediately, but unfortunately, the Ōtsutsuki clan's genes were not so easily obtained.
In the original storyline, Orochimaru, Danzo, and other scientists in the Ninja World spent decades researching the cells of Hashirama, with little success.
The only product that came out of it was Yamato, a man who specialized in cultivating plants and greenery.
The cells in the bodies of Edo Tensei Madara and Edo Tensei Hashirama were well preserved, but they required the use of Edo Tensei's body.
To successfully transplant them into a human body?
It wasn't until after the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Naruto's severed hand was used, that they succeeded.
However, it was still unclear if the Sun Power and Ashura Chakra had anything to do with the success.
Now, in the Warring States period, when electricity was just starting to become widespread, the idea of perfectly transplanting Ōtsutsuki clan cells seemed nearly impossible.
The Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon wasn't like the true Six Paths brothers. Their bloodline had been diluted to the point that only the main family members still had noticeable Ōtsutsuki features.
The rest of the clan resembled normal humans from Earth.
Based on Kyōsuke's understanding, transplanting the cells should be slightly easier than the cells of Hashirama.
With the current technology Hyūga possessed, it would take thirty to fifty years for it to succeed.
Thinking this, he unconsciously glanced at the system's knowledge exchange section.
As long as Kyōsuke wanted, he could quickly become the strongest scientific scholar in the world.
Gene cloning, cell transplants, he could even replicate Iron Naruto if he wished.
"Too bad, there isn't a suitable research environment right now," Kyōsuke muttered to himself. He suppressed his scientific dreams and turned to go back to his room, intending to check on how Uzu's young lady was doing.
"Ton, ton, ton~"
As he approached the door, he heard a sound from inside the room, reminiscent of an old cow drinking water.
"Cough."
Kyōsuke lightly cleared his throat, then kicked the door open. "Good morning, Mito."
With a loud splash, Mito sprayed milk from her mouth in shock.
Her milk bottle fell to the floor, and her bun-style hair hit the ground as she began coughing violently.
"You, cough, you bastard. One day, cough, I'm going to kill you with my own hands"
"Poor child."
Kyōsuke shrugged, ignoring her unconvincing threat.
By the time she could control the Nine-Tails, he would have already mastered his complete Susanoo and be flying in the sky.
If she wanted to kill him, there was probably only one way.
Kyōsuke thought of something, and a terrifying laugh escaped from him, causing Mito's hairs to stand on end.
"This bastard is definitely up to no good," Mito thought, unable to control her anger. She lunged at him, baring her teeth.
"I'll fight you!"
Meanwhile, Hyūga Tenjin couldn't wait to begin his research.
As his direct disciple, Hyūga Yayoi also had the privilege of joining in.
"This is what the master brought back from his trip," she said, taking a deep breath and beginning the initial blood transplant.
There were plenty of prisoners in the clan, so experimental materials were in abundance. It didn't matter if they died.
Ōtsutsuki blood was different from any common blood type in the Ninja World. It could be said that it would 100% cause adverse reactions.
However, no one expected the rejection to be so violent.
In just twenty seconds, the test subject, who had Chūnin-level strength, was sent to the afterlife in a bloody storm.
"Let's continue."
Tenjin furrowed his brows, a bad feeling slowly rising in his heart.
It turned out that his bad feeling was right.
In the next ten experiments, no one could last half a minute. As soon as the Ōtsutsuki cells entered their bodies, a complete breakdown reaction occurred.
If this continued, not only would the test subjects die, but the blood from the corpse bodies wouldn't be enough for further experiments.
"Damn it, it's really not that easy to obtain the power of our ancestors."
For an entire night, Hyūga Tenjin struggled with the experiments.
Eventually, he reluctantly came up with a "not-so-great" solution.
The Caged Bird Seal, a special mark unique to the branch family of the Hyūga clan.
This seal was incredibly powerful, the strongest technological achievement of the Hyūga family over thousands of years.
Even the Byakugan, which possessed the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, could be suppressed by the Caged Bird Seal. This was also why the Hyūga clan had never produced a truly legendary expert.
By using this sealing technique, they could restrict things on a microscopic level. But would it work on the cells entering the body?
Over the next few days, Tenjin conducted experiments on his hypothesis.
The results were promising: the Caged Bird Seal indeed worked. With it, the Ōtsutsuki cells couldn't spread throughout the body.
However, another problem arose.
To keep the cells intact, they had to be constantly infused with chakra, and the person in control of the seal needed to frequently strengthen and seal the cells.
Otherwise, it would all be in vain.
In this age of technological scarcity, there was no way to preserve a corpse for a long period of time.
To preserve the Ōtsutsuki cells and chakra, they needed to use a living person as a container. Furthermore, this person had to be particularly loyal, someone who was willing to sacrifice everything for the main family.
After much thought, Hyūga Tenjin finally reached out to his most talented disciple.
"Yayoi, I have an important task for you."
The confused Hyūga Yayoi thought her master was just asking her to help, unaware of the pain this special task would bring her.
"Ah!!!"
That night, in the back mountain's forbidden area, Hyūga Yayoi's screams echoed.
