After reading through all the three scrolls that he stole from the forbidden section, the person had a better understanding of the history of the Hyuga Clan, Byakugan, Cage Bird Juinjutsu, Gently Fist Taijutsu, and Main Family – Branch Family division system.

Based on everything that he has read up to now, the Cataclysm that led to the near destruction of the Hyuga Clan was undoubtedly related to Byakugan as well.

The fact that the Cage Bird Juinjutsu was developed in order to protect the Byakugan from being gouged out indicates that the Cataclysm was further because others wanted to steal Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan.

But this has further confused him. Since who exactly wanted to steal the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan is not described here, as such, there is no solid base for any speculation.

After all, Hyuga Clan too is a Noble Clan with a strong and unique Kekkei Genkai. There are countless who would want to have this Kekkei Genkai but are they strong enough to threaten the survival of the entire clan?

After all, even during the Warring States Era, there were very few Clans within the Land of Fire who could truly fight threaten the Hyuga Clan.

Since this matter is of the time before the birth of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, so it can be said without a doubt that at that time, Uzumaki Clan, Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan along with the very few other shinobi clans had the power to fight against Hyuga Clan on an even front.

After all, a Byakugan is no inferior to a simple Sharingan. Hyuga Taijutsu also gives Hyuga Shinobi enough mastery to go against the Senjus.

So, it stands to reason that not many could pose a real threat to the Hyuga Clan.

And out of those who could go against the Hyuga Clan wouldn’t really want the Byakugan. Uchiha Shinobis are prideful and they would never give Byakugan such worth that they themselves would want to steal it.

Senju’s too are the same. Their principle would never allow them to steal the Byakugan. Moreover, they would never dare to do something that would force the Hyuga Clan to ally with the Uchiha Clan.

Meanwhile, the Uzumaki Clan assisted the Hyuga Clan in the development of Juinjutsu, it is very unlikely that Uzumaki Clan was the cause.

Other Shinobi Clan hardly had the strength to do anything. Therefore, the person couldn’t exactly determine the exact cause.

Sighing slightly, he soon folded back the scroll with a disappointed look.

His objective was unaccomplished.

With the emergence of more and more Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, a doubt has sprouted within his heart, ‘Is it possible to evolve Byakugan to a higher level of ocular power?’

Both are similar types of Kekkei Genkai, so technically it should be possible, right?

With this thought in mind, he ventured into the forbidden section.

Killing the guards, and trying to break through the seal of that vault was just an act of diversion, the true objective was to steal a pair of Byakugan as well as the history of Byakugan and Hyuga Clan to see the possibility of the evolution of Byakugan into a high level of ocular power.

So, although he managed to acquire a Byakugan pair by killing that elder and also stole these scrolls along with diverting the attention of all parties into thinking that his objective was the Cage Bird Juinjutsu.

But the end result still frustrated him.

According to his records, in the millennium years long history of the Hyuga Clan, there has never been a precedent of the evolution of Byakugan into a higher level of Ocular Power.

“Both Byakugan and Sharingan are Dojutsu type Kekkei Genkai, then why is it that Sharingan can evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan but Byakugan always remains Byakugan? Is it truly the case that Byakugan is inferior to Sharingan as the rumors have been circulating in the village?”

With a discouraged look, the person picked up the scrolls and was ready to destroy them but just when he was ready to destroy the scroll, he suddenly saw a pattern on the case of one of the scrolls.

With a raised eyebrow he halted and observed the pattern for a while. From the looks of it, it didn’t really mean anything, but when he looked at the other two cases, he again saw patterns on those two scrolls, what’s intriguing here was that the patterns on both the scrolls were different, and yet similar somewhat similar.

Curious, he sat down again and drew the pattern from line to line on three different pieces of paper, then he placed those three pieces of paper together only to find that it seemed to be part of a map.

But the map was obviously incomplete as it was still missing a large part.

‘Why is there a map hidden here? Does it lead to somewhere?’

“it seems that I must steal the other scrolls too!” – muttered the person as he realized that he has finally obtained some kind of clue to something!

Kuroto’s home.

Understanding that this was the work of the traitor, Kuroto decided to put the matter to the side. It is obvious that the other party will be especially cautious for a while as such it is impossible that they will make any mistakes that would give them out during this time. So, finding the traitor would obviously take a lot of time.

Moreover, Kuroto is even unsure of what bait he should use to draw out the other party, so it is best to put the matter to the side for a while.

Of course, he will take a precautionary measure such that neither he nor Yui is affected by this and everything else doesn’t matter.

As long as he and Yui are safe, and no matter how much trouble the traitor cases for the Hyuga Clan, it will have little impact on Kuroto’s plan. In contrast, now that he has finally got his hands on the scroll of Chimera Technique so researching and perfecting it is obviously Kuroto’s top priority.

If the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku remains true then Juubi will inevitably be revived, Uchiha Madara will ultimately become the Juubi’s Jinchuriki, Otsutsuki Kaguya will eventually be freed from her seal and the other members of the Otsutsuki Clan will sooner or later come to the Shinobi World.

Before all these people cause chaos to the Shinobi World, Kuroto has to complete his Plans and attain Godhood, so every unimportant thing can be put to the side for now.

Anyway, as long as he remains in the dark, no one will be truly vigilant of him, and that is his greatest advantage.

And as long as he attains true Godhood by achieving Kekkei Mora, there will be nothing that he wouldn’t be able to accomplish in this Shinobi World.

The main objectives and side objectives are clear to Kuroto, and the main objective, for now, is to study the Chimera Technique as that is the path to attaining everything.

With this thought in mind, Kuroto held the sleeping Yui tightly and he too entered the land of dreams.

A few hours later.

Kuroto was sitting in his study room with the scroll of Chimera Technique.

For the Chimera Technique, Chimera Buds or Leech (the blue gluey material) is important as that is what acts as the mediator between the core (main body) and the target subject (target bodies to be absorbed) and help the core absorb the subject.

And the creation of Chimera Buds is no easy task.

They have to match your own genetic combination and Chakra Wavelength, so it would take quite a bit of monetary value to make them.

But aside from all that, what made Kuroto feels troubled is that the Chimera Buds also have their own negative effects in the Absorption Ritual.

And realizing this, Kuroto can now more accurately judge one of the serious problems within Hiruko’s ritual.

During the ritual, the Chimera Buds will be absorbed within the core, and that’s problematic, even if they are created keeping the genetic combination of the core in mind, they will never become a part of the core.

What’s more, expelling them outside is also no easy matter.

In other words, the end result will never be a true success!

“Hiruko’s ritual was flawed from the root…!” – Kuroto reached this conclusion.

Hiruko may have survived the ritual and gained the five Kekkei Genkai, but as time passes the flaws will start to become more and more apparent. And at the end, these flaws will result in his death.

Every time he is injured seriously, he will suffer from the consequent backlashes until his soul will no longer be able to support him.

“It seems that I have to further research on Chimera Buds!” – muttered Kuroto.
