Chapter 613: The Probable Cause of Mysterious Deaths


    ‘If even the poption of the Uchiha n was restored to normal levels within several years after the internal conflicts, then why is it that the poption of the Hyuga n is declining, despite the fact that there have been no such conflicts in the Hyuga n?’


    The more Kuroto thought about this situation of the Hyuga n, the stranger he felt…


    At the same time, he couldn’t help but think of the branch family of the Otsutsuki n on the moon.


    As far as Kuroto knows, when the branch family of the Otsutsuki n on the moon officially started a Coup d’état, they had already gathered everyone’s Byakugan and used them on the Giant Tenseigan… so at the time of the final war between the main family and the branch family, the branch family was able to wipe out the entire main family quite easily with the help of the Giant Tenseigan while remaining unscathed themselves.


    In other words, during thest stage of the war between the main family and the branch family, the main family was wiped outpletely, while the branch family did not lose any of their men thanks to the fact that they used the Giant Tenseigan in the war.


    If this is the case, then a very strange questiones into Kuroto’s mind…


    The branch family of the Otsutsuki n did not suffer any major damage in the war because of using the Giant Tenseigan, and after the demise of the main family, the branch family had no enemies on the moon, so why are there only three or four people currently alive in the branch family, and why did the rest of the branch family perish?


    It couldn’t have been because of the repeated internal marriages, right? After all, the branch family had at least several thousand nsmen… so recessive gic disorder caused by inbreeding couldn’t have been the reason why the branch family of the Otsutsuki n is on the verge of perishing!


    And if this isn’t the case either, then Kuroto feels that the branch of the Otsutsuki n on the moon started to perish for seemingly no reason…


    While pondering over this issue, Kuroto suddenly thought of a hypothetical possibility…


    The Otsutsuki n on the moon created the Giant Tenseigan, and started the system of gathering and merging the Byakugan of the deceased ones into the Giant Tenseigan after Hamura passed away… and after the main family was annihted, the branch family continued that tradition…


    So it won’t be wrong to say that over the years, the Giant Tenseigan has continued to get stronger and stronger and all the Chakra of the deceased Otsutsuki nsmen has continued to be part of the Giant Tenseigan…


    However, we know that for any period of time, the total amount of Chakra(energy) seems to be fixed…


    After all, energy can neither be created nor can it be destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another… (Law of Conservation of Energy: basic physics.)


    So, when more and more Chakra became part of the Giant Tenseigan, free Chakra continued to decrease, and because of the decrease in the free Chakra, the number of newly born individuals also decreased with each year…


    And if this is the case, then the main reason why the branch family of the Otsutsuki n on the moon perished is very likely the Giant Tenseigan.


    The presence of the Giant Tenseigan on the moon is actually a suppression on the branch family of the Otsutsuki n, and as that treasure continued to be strong with each passing year, the poption of the Otsutsuki continued to decrease with each passing year…


    Although this is just a hypothetical possibility, it is very likely to be true…


    And if this is indeed true, then Kuroto couldn’t help but make another bold guess…


    ‘If this is indeed the case, then doesn’t it mean that Otsutsuki Toneri––who was born even under the suppression of the Giant Tenseigan––should also have the aptitude to naturally awaken the Tenseigan…?’ It’s possible, but only if the Giant Tenseigan on the moon has reached its strongest state, and can no longer be strong any further by relying on the Chakra of the Otsutsuki n on the moon…


    Given Toneri’s high aptitude and unparalleled natural talent, it’s very like to be true…


    Regardless, after hypothesizing the possible cause of the demise of the Otsutsuki n, Kuroto returned his thoughts on the Hyuga n.


    Quite simr to the Otsutsuki n on the moon, the poption of the Hyuga n is also decreasing with each passing year… although the rate of decline is not as serious and exaggerated as was with the branch family of the Otsutsuki n on the moon that the entire n perished, the records of the past three hundred years on the genealogy clearly shows that it is indeed happening…


    Thinking so, Kuroto reopened the records of the bizarre and mysterious deaths of hundreds of Hyuga shinobi that happened about three centuries ago…


    The cause of those hundreds of deaths is not written in the documents of the Hyuga n, but the deaths have not been hidden… this could lead to three possibilities…


    One, the Hyuga n itself didn’t know the cause of the death of those hundreds of nsmen, second, the cause was probably written, but, was lost over the years… andstly, the cause was known to very few people, and they chose not to describe it here for some reason…


    Kuroto feels that the third reason is very likely to be the case… and using that line of thought, he started to postte the possible reasons why it was kept secret…


    ‘What could be the cause of the death of hundreds of Hyuga shinobi that even its records would be hidden?’


    Given the arrogant and proud nature of the branch family of the Otsutsuki n on the moon, and given that they were fully aware of the fact that arge number of Byakugan can be used to create a Giant Tenseigan, their first choice shouldn’t have been to dig out the Byakugan of their own nsmen.


    Their first choice would be to not harm their own nsmen, but to find other ways to merge the Byakugan in the Giant Tenseigan to strengthen it…


    And the Hyuga n that lived in the Shinobi World was obviously a very good target.


    After all, the Hyuga n also has the Byakugan…


    Moreover, considering that the ultimate goal of the branch division of the Otsutsuki n on the moon was to destroy the entire shinobi world in order to fulfill Hamura’s decree, they will have no hesitation in digging out the Byakugan of the Hyuga n…


    If the timeline of the Shinobi World is taken into ount, then the time around which the civil war of the Otsutsuki n on the moon happened and the time when hundreds of deaths in the Hyuga happened seems to match quite well…’


    Those hundreds of mysterious and bizarre deaths and the time of the Coup d’état of the branch family most likely happened around the same time… that is about three centuries ago…


    This means that the two incidents had some connection with each other…


    But Kuroto also remembers that the Giant Tenseigan on the moon is actually made up of the Byakugan of the branch family, and the main family of the Otsutsuki n, not from the Byakugan of the Hyuga n, which means, although the branch family might have had the intentions of stealing the Byakugan of the Hyuga nsmen, they probably failed to do so…


    However, considering that the strength of the branch family of the Otsutsuki n is naturally strongerpared to the Hyuga nsmen, the cause of their failure is a matter to ponder about…


    And this takes us back to reason three…


    The main reason why the cause of the mysterious and the bizarre deaths of hundreds of Hyuga nsmen is not mentioned is that it is probably, intentionally hidden from theter generation…


    But, using his foreknowledge from his previous life, Kuroto was able to draw out several possibilities… and one of them seemed perfectly reasonable and matches the situation before him…


    Because a very simr case happened on the moon when the elders of the branch family of the Otsutsuki n concealed the existence of the graves of the main family of the Otsutsuki n from the young Toneri…


    Their reason for doing so was probably done to hide the sins of the branch family…


    And a simr situation is in y here… where the Hyuga n is also trying to cover up their sins, while not hiding the danger that the Otsutsuki n poses to the Hyuga n… this is why the cause of death of hundreds of Hyuga shinobi is hidden, yet their deaths have not been hidden…


    The most probable cause of the death of the hundreds of Hyuga Shinobi is the Hyuga n itself… And the elders of the Hyuga n probably didn’t want theter generation to know why so many people of the Hyuga n died…


    Of course, the reason hundreds of Hyuga nsmen died or rather ‘killed’ was probably to protect the Hyuga n from the branch division of the Otsutsuki n…


    It is very likely that they ‘died’ to create a weapon of the sort that gave the Hyuga n confidence to protect itself against the branch division of the Otsutsuki n, and stopped the branch division of the Otsutsuki n from approaching the Hyuga n with ill intentions of stealing their Byakugan.<!--
