Chapter 614: Kuroto’s Hypothesis
Knowing some extent of the history of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, and using all his hypotheses, Kuroto can most certainly conclude that the original intentions of the Hyuga Clan behind the development of the Bird Cage Juinjutsu were to prevent the members of the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon to plunder the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clansmen in the Shinobi World.
However, there is an issue Kuroto is facing in this conclusion of his… and that is the time lag problem, which can not be ignored no matter how he thinks about it.
Based on his own research of the Bird Cage Juinjutsu, Kuroto knows that this is a very high-end Cursed Seal… During his tenure in the Anbu, Kuroto has read several secret files and found that including Konoha, many other shinobi villages have made countless attempts to crack that cursed seal, but without exception, they have always failed… which means, no one has ever come close to cracking it.
Because of all these reasons, Cage Bird Juinjutsu is considered as one of the best Juinjutsu in the Shinobi World…
A Juinjutsu that is considered as the strongest can never be created in a hurry, it is simply impossible for the Hyuga Clan to develop such a high-end Juinjutsu in a short time… At the very least, it would take more than a decade to develop even the simplest version of Bird Cage Juinjutsu…
This fact brings us to the question of concern…
If the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon regarded the Hyuga Clan as its target to acquire all the Byakugan, then how did the Hyuga Clan survive for that period of ‘more than a decade’ which took them to create the Bird Cade Juinjutsu?
This is the biggest question!
Under normal circumstances, after the Hyuga Clan becomes aware of the intentions of the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, at most, they will only have one or two weeks of buffer time in which they will have to do everything to protect themselves.
In the face of such a sudden crisis, normally, no one, not even the Hyuga Clan would have enough time and resources to develop such a high-end Juinjutsu to protect themselves…
Even if they chose to decisively abandon their territories and hide somewhere in the Shinobi World, at most they can delay for a few weeks or a few months, not any longer than that, after all, hiding a population of several thousand for a very long time is not an easy feat, so, it wouldn’t work, and even if we do assume that because of some mysterious reason the people of the Hyuga Clan manages to hide, they will not be able to develop the Cage Bird Juinjutsu at that time, because they will be on constant run and wouldn’t have enough resources in their hands.
After all, the development of a high-end Cursed Seal like the Cage Bird is not only time-consuming and laborious, it also requires a lot of financial support… If the Hyuga Clan is on constant run from the Otsutsuki Clan and is barely getting by, then they wouldn’t be able to devote enough energy to the development of the Cage Bird Cursed Juinjutsu.
But the fact is the Hyuga Clan did develop it… which means, the Hyuga Clan did not hide from the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan, rather, they chose some alternative method to ensure their safety during that buffer time…
But what could that alternative method be?
What could it be that not only gave the Hyuga Clan enough confidence to resist the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan, but also provided them with enough buffer time that they were able to develop the Cage Bird Juinjutsu?
This is another doubt that comes into Kuroto’s mind…
And, Kuroto didn’t have to wait very long as he soon found his answer…
The answer to this question has been present right in front of him from the very start…
The mysterious deaths of the hundreds of Hyuga Clansmen are the answer.
Although this is just a bold guess, if you think about it, it does make sense…
Similar to how diamond cuts diamond, and poison kills poison, only by using the same inhuman methods as the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, the Hyuga Clan could have protected itself…
The hundreds of mysterious deaths were actually not deaths, rather, they were sacrifices, sacrifices that the Hyuga Clan used to create a weapon that gave the Hyuga Clan its confidence and warded off the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon to make sure that they don’t direct their ill intentions on the Hyuga Clan.
The weapon that Kuroto is thinking about, and the Hyuga Clan most likely created is most definitely a Giant Tenseigan…
The reason Kuroto is so sure is that only by having a Giant Tenseigan can the Hyuga Clan have enough power to deter the radical lunatics of the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, and dispel their ill intentions towards the Hyuga Clan…
By having a Giant Tenseigan of their own, the people of the Hyuga Clan will have the means to protect themselves, and it would also give them the buffer time needed to create the Cage Bird Juinjutsu, which will permanently protect the Hyuga Clan not only against the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon but also against other shinobi clans who might develop ill intentions towards the Hyuga Clan in the future.
And this also makes sense why the cause of the death of those hundreds of Hyuga Clansmen is never mentioned in the history of the Hyuga Clan… Even if those hundreds of clansmen were sacrificed for the sake of protecting the Hyuga Clan, it is undoubtedly a part of the Hyuga Clan’s dark history… nobody would want to tell the future generation about such cruel means that they used…
Even if Kuroto thinks about it, he feels that such an act is too outrageous… but he can’t complain about it… after all, he is not a good person either, and he too has done many outrageous things for the sake of his Project Godhood.
Anyway, after making such a bold assumption, Kuroto recollected his thoughts, and considered several other questions that were coming into his mind…
For example, how did the Hyuga Clan have the idea of creating a Giant Tenseigan? How did they create it? And where is that Giant Tenseigan now?
For the answer to the first two questions, Kuroto feels that it’s not too hard to figure out, but he is not sure if his guess is correct.
As far as Kuroto can guess, the Hyuga Clan should have created the Giant Tenseigan with the help of the people of the main family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, because other than the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan, only the main family should know how can such a weapon be created…
The main family must have helped the Hyuga Clan… and it is also possible that in the annihilation of the main family, all the people of the main family did not die, some, maybe one or perhaps two members of the main family of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon managed to survive and they secretly took refuge in the Hyuga Clan, and the people of the current Hyuga Clan are their descendants…
This also explains why Hyuga Hinata was called the Byakugan princess by the dead clansmen of the main family of the Otsutsuki Clan…
But of course, this is just a guess and Kuroto can’t be sure about it…
Anyway, now on to the third question… ‘Where is that Giant Tenseigan now?’
With a little doubtful expression, Kuroto further went through the scrolls and books stored in the library, and much to his dismay, he found no record or mention of the Giant Tenseigan in any of them… in fact, there were no mentions of anything that would even come close to being a clue to Tenseigan…
Such an odd situation made Kuroto somewhat confused… and he felt that something was wrong…
For a moment, he couldn’t help but wonder… ‘Did I guess wrong? Is it possible that the Giant Tenseigan does not exist?’
Assuming that the Giant Tenseigan does exist in the Hyuga Clan, it should be present somewhere, right? But there are no clues about it…! Nor are there any rumors about its existence in the Shinobi World!
‘Is it possible that the Hyuga Clan destroyed the Giant Tenseigan after they succeeded in creating the Cage Bird Juinjutsu?’
It is possible… After all, the existence of the Giant Tenseigan is a symbol of the Hyuga Clan’s sin…
But if it is destroyed, then another question pops up… If the Giant Tenseigan is indeed destroyed, then what is the cause of the decline of the population of the Hyuga Clan? What is it that is suppressing the population of the Hyuga Clan?
If Kuroto’s hypothesis up to now is correct, then it is very likely that the Giant Tenseigan created by the Hyuga Clan for the sake of ensuring their safety against the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon is the cause of the decline of the population of the Hyuga Clan… which means, it is very likely that the Giant Tenseigan has not been destroyed by the Hyuga Clan!
You know, the Giant Tenseigan, if it exists is definitely a trump card of the Hyuga Clan… why would they want to destroy it?
Or is it possible that they didn’t destroy the Giant Tenseigan, but destroyed all the information about it?
But again, the very same question comes to mind… why would they destroy the information about it? As said before, the Giant Tenseigan, if it existed, was the Trump card of the Hyuga Clan…
Even if the Giant Tenseigan is the representation of the sins of the Hyuga Clan, the sins that have been committed can not be reverted back just by destroying the Giant Tenseigan, or the information about it… yet there is no information about it in the secret library of the Hyuga Clan!
Something is amiss here…!
Any sane person wouldn’t destroy the Giant Tenseigan or the information about it unless they have a reason…
And the only reason that Kuroto can think of is that the person who did either of the two things probably realized that the Giant Tenseigan will suppress the future of the Hyuga Clan…
Kuroto couldn’t really determine whether the Hyuga Clan had such a wise ancestor who could resist the temptations of the power that the Giant Tenseigan provided and was calm enough to accurately weigh the pros and cons of the Giant Tenseigan.
If you think about it, even if the branch division of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon is crazy, filled with radical and arrogant, they shouldn’t be totally stupid and idiots, and as such, they should also be perfectly aware of the pros and cons of the Giant Tenseigan.
Obviously, they must have observed the negative effects of the Giant Tenseigan on their clan and should know the way to save themselves, but the fact is, in the face of the temptation of infinite power that the Giant Tenseigan grants them, they couldn’t resist it and continued to merge more and more Byakugan into it… gradually leading their clan to the edge of perishing…
And in such a scenario, if the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan can really make such a sensible decision, then Kuroto couldn’t help but praise them… But of course, various signs clearly show that the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan is not destroyed, which means that the ancestors of the Hyuga Clan did not destroy it, and this further means, that it is hidden somewhere…
And if it isn’t destroyed, and hidden somewhere in the Shinobi World then that explains a lot of things…
But at the same time, it raises another question… If it is just hidden in the Shinobi World, then why can’t Kuroto sense its existence?
You know… the current Kuroto can even sense the existence of the Giant Tenseigan on the moon, so he should definitely be able to sense the existence of the Giant Tenseigan on the Shinobi World… but he can’t… this can only mean that the current state of the Giant Tenseigan in the Shinobi World is quite peculiar… and that’s why sensing its existence is sort of impossible even for him.
This peculiar state could either be a natural cause, or it could be intentionally done to prevent anyone, especially the remnants of the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon to perceive its existence.
Regardless of what the reason is…
The only explanation that works here is that it is sealed… Sealed with an extremely strong Fuinjutsu that prevents everyone, including Kuroto, and the remnants of the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon to find its position.
As for why is it hidden?
Probably to prevent the ambitious descendants to get their hands on it… after all, if an ambitious person were to get his hands on the Giant Tenseigan, he would very likely follow the same approach as the branch family of the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon… he would plunder everyone’s Byakugan and merge them into the Giant Tenseigan… This would mean the demise of the Hyuga Clan…
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, they must have sealed it, and then hidden it somewhere in the Shinobi World…
But at the same time, Kuroto believes that they must have left behind some kind of clue to make sure that if the Hyuga Clan really needs it in the future, then they can find it…
Now what Kuroto has to do is to find that clue… if he is able to find it, then he might be able to get his hands on the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan…
