Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

Chapter 8: The "Prologue" – A Waiting Five Years

Purple chakra suddenly burst forth from the chakra points around Hyuga Seiran's body, forming a hemispherical purple chakra shield as it spun rapidly.

It deflected all the venomous snakes that were spraying from all directions and from every angle.

boom!

Centered on Hinata Seiran, the ground suddenly collapsed, creating a pit with a radius of five meters. Small snakes scattered around, struggling for a moment before becoming still.

"Return to Heaven?!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly, completely unexpected that this young man from the branch family would use the main family's secret technique.

It is important to know that in the Hyuga clan, branch family members are not allowed to learn the main family's secret techniques, a fact that even Orochimaru had heard of.

As a branch family of the Hyuga clan, without direct instruction and personal example, even with talent, one will not be able to grasp the essence without sufficient comprehension.

In the original work, Neji Hyuga also got his inspiration from observing Hinata Hyuga spinning.

But that's all; at most, it would only slightly impress Orochimaru, but it's nothing to fear.

Two things really surprised him.

The chakra of this Heaven is purple.

Moreover... it's a complete 360-degree turnaround.

"Your eye rolls have no blind spots...?"

Orochimaru stared at the somewhat dazed boy in front of him and posed his question.

To his surprise, Hinata Seiran was also stunned, seemingly still reeling from the unexpected turn of events.

"I..."

Hinata Seiran was about to speak.

A crisp, melodious sound came from not far away, interrupting their conversation.

"Orochimaru-sensei, Captain Aoran, time for dumplings!"

Hongdou came running over excitedly, carrying a bag of snacks in her left hand and a neatly packaged box of tricolor meatballs in her right.

She glanced to her left and saw that her Orochimaru teacher was staring intently at Captain Qinglan.

Looking to the right, there was a crater around Captain Qinglan, with Orochimaru's venomous snakes scattered all around.

Hongdou suddenly realized.

"Orochimaru-sensei, I didn't expect you to put Captain Qinglan through a test so quickly?" She leaned close to Orochimaru, her eyes sparkling as she asked.

"How did it go? Did Captain Qinglan pass?"

"Hehehehe..."

Orochimaru chuckled softly, gradually relaxing.

He reached out his right hand and patted Hongdou's head, his tone meaningful: "It seems your former captain has a lot of secrets... Even I, your teacher, am intrigued."

He shifted his gaze to Hinata Seiran, "Right, Seiran-kun?"

"...Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Hinata Seiran patted the dust off his robes and nodded slightly.

"I didn't even expect that myself."

He walked slowly to Orochimaru, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord Orochimaru, in that case, I shall take my leave."

"After all, there are still many things to do in the clan's territory, and I estimate that we won't be able to finish until 3 a.m.

"Red Bean, I'm leaving now."

"Ah..." Hongdou exclaimed, looking down at the snacks in her hand, "I bought so many snacks..."

"Kids are growing, it's okay for them to eat more." Hyuga Seiran glanced at Orochimaru, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Right, Lord Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru didn't reply, but just took a deep look at the departing figure of Hyuga Seiran.

A moment later, a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.

-

"Return to Heaven."

A purple chakra shield appeared in response, and the air currents surged, deflecting all the kunai flying in from 360 degrees.

"It's purple again... and it's 360 degrees again."

Hinata Seiran raised his hands with trembling hands, his eyes fixed on the remaining purple chakra in his palms.

This familiar feeling…

The familiar purple chakra.

Isn't this the chakra he had on the moon in his previous life?!

She was reincarnated along with him?!

"Doesn't that mean that, aside from the ability to turn back time, the skills learned in the previous life can also be replicated in this life?"

He whispered to himself silently.

Even if the Otsutsuki clan on the moon is not the orthodox Otsutsuki clan, they are still direct descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura. Their heritage and knowledge are far superior to those of the Hyuga clan on Earth.

Skills like "Returning to Heaven" and basic Baguazhang were already learned in my previous life.

However, some skills can only be learned by possessing Otsutsuki chakra, which is why he hadn't learned them before.

For example, the Aerial Strike, which was improved from the Aerial Strike used by Kaguya.

He had tried it in this life, but his body couldn't take it.

Hinata Seiran was somewhat excited, but his expression remained impassive.

He looked around and, after confirming that the training ground was empty, formed an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic) seal with his hands, restoring the land to its original level.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, the evening breeze carried the noise of izakayas and the aroma of grilled skewers, but Hinata Seiran's mind was elsewhere.

"Only chakra reincarnation can explain this situation..."

In the original story, Ashura and Indra's chakra are reincarnated repeatedly, perpetuating their brotherly rivalry.

Spots and between pillars.

Naruto and Sasuke.

But if we were to really put it in his own words, Hyuga Seiran's current situation would be more like that of the Otsutsuki clan's Karma.

The soul is compressed into data and parasitized in another person's body until it is completely thawed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he was reincarnated into the Hyuga clan with his memories intact.

And he waited...

It should be said that it took fifteen years of thawing for the secrets within the body to be discovered.

So, if I think about it that way, wouldn't I be considered a different kind of wedge now?

"Furthermore, the missing degree of vision in the Byakugan has been altered by this chakra, restoring it to 360 degrees..."

"But the caged bird still exists."

Hinata Seiran touched his headband, feeling the Caged Bird Mark beneath it.

"However, I can sense that the caged bird's mark is fading..."

A faint smile involuntarily appeared on Hinata Seiran's lips.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, combined with the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan...

The Reincarnation Eye, isn't it here already?!

But soon, Hinata Seiran banished the thought from his mind.

Even now, the real golden touch has arrived.

The two can be mixed and unified to form the Tenseigan, but its power and pupil strength are certainly not as pure as Otsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan.

Perhaps they can't even use the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

If he wants to truly be free from the cage, then he must become a true Otsutsuki.

It is not a reincarnation based on chakra.

Instead, it becomes the Otsutsuki clan from the very beginning.

"Brother Qinglan!"

Hinata Seiran looked up and saw a young man dressed in mourning clothes waving at him from a distance.

Hyuga Tokuma.

A member of the same guard team.

"Tokuma, ah."

Hinata Seiran smiled.

This time, it's not just a casual acquaintance.

They could be considered friends who had gone through thick and thin together, after all, they had once been caged birds together.

"Miss Yumi sent me to find you, saying that we should take turns keeping vigil for her, as she is determined to work hard and avenge Elder Tianyun."

Hyuga Tokuma's voice was very low, as if afraid of being overheard by those around him. But Hyuga Seiran still detected the disdain in it.

"Let's go..."

Hyuga Seiran didn't mind and followed Hyuga Tokuma toward the clan's territory, his gaze fixed on the outline of the Hyuga mansion in the distance.

The lights were just coming on there, and wisps of smoke were rising from the chimneys.

Strive for excellence?

He silently repeated it to himself, and the smile on his lips faded.

It was all in vain...
