As a transmigrator, Kenjiro's knowledge was far beyond that of anyone else on this planet.
A thousand years had passed, and many believed that the Sage of Six Paths were nothing more than a myth.
But Kenjiro knew the truth.
He also knew that the Sage of Six Paths had a mother and a younger brother.
After sealing their mother together, the Sage of Six Paths became the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and embarked on a journey of atonement.
Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Hamura chose a different path—he married, had children, and worked to expand the Otsutsuki clan.
When the Sage of Six Paths was no longer the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, he left the Gedo Statue on the Moon.
To guard it, Hamura led a portion of the Otsutsuki clan to the Moon, where they took up residence.
Meanwhile, the branch of the clan that remained on Earth gradually evolved into the Hyuga Clan over the next thousand years.
Just as the Sage of Six Paths possessed the Rinnegan, and his two sons could potentially awaken it when their opposing forces united…
Otsutsuki Hamura also had an ultimate dojutsu—the Tenseigan, capable of both destruction and creation.
His descendants, under the right conditions, could awaken the Tenseigan just as one could awaken the Rinnegan.
Unlike the Rinnegan, however, the Tenseigan had an alternative method of activation—by fusing multiple Byakugan into a single, more powerful form.
This very method led to the downfall of the Moon's Otsutsuki Clan.
Now, the only one left on the Moon was likely Otsutsuki Toneri.
At the age of three, Kenjiro abandoned his initial plan to copy Naruto Uzumaki or Sasuke Uchiha's talents.
That's because he remembered Otsutsuki Toneri.
As the last survivor of the Moon's Otsutsuki branch family, Toneri possessed pure Otsutsuki blood, just like Asura and Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
This purity gave Toneri a Sage Body-like talent.
Madara Uchiha had to fuse Hashirama Senju's cells and wait until old age before he could awaken the Rinnegan.
Toneri, however, needed only a few days to evolve his Byakugan into the Tenseigan.
The moment he awakened it, he could instantly enter the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, manifest chakra beads, and unleash powerful techniques such as:
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion (which could slice the Moon in half)
His innate talent and chakra reserves were even more ridiculous than Naruto and Sasuke's.
If he had come to Earth to live, he would have been the ultimate overpowered being.
If he had brought the Tenseigan's energy core with him, then unless Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were resurrected, or the Sage of Six Paths personally intervened, he could have ruled the entire ninja world.
If he had been ruthless enough to steal Hinata or Hanabi's Byakugan, there wouldn't have been a Naruto: Shippuden—only "The Legend of Toneri."
Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Toneri was a delusional shut-in.
Unless he became an adult, he wouldn't leave the Moon unless he was absolutely convinced the ninja world was beyond saving.
However, Kenjiro knew something others didn't—when Toneri was still a child, before his father died, he once visited Earth and Konoha.
During that time, he secretly saw Hinata Hyuga through the Tenseigan's energy core.
And in that moment, he fell in love with her at first sight.
But instead of interfering with her life, he planned to return as an adult to claim her as part of an ancient promise.
Unfortunately for him, by the time he came back…
His "fiancée" already had someone she loved.
He was just a delusional fool chasing an illusion.
Kenjiro had no opinion on this overly dramatic shut-in.
Kenjiro estimated that Toneri's visit happened when Hinata was three years old.
That was the year Hizashi Hyuga died to protect Hiashi, causing a shift in Hinata's status.
Her personality after that event completely disappointed Hiashi Hyuga.
Her grandest birthday celebration was her third birthday.
And so, Kenjiro decided to gamble.
He would use his one-time copy ability on Otsutsuki Toneri.
Naruto and Sasuke's talents could be obtained later, but Toneri's talent was a one-time opportunity.
If he missed it, he would have to wait until two years after the end of Shippuden.
When Kenjiro checked his system panel, he knew he had bet correctly.
He hadn't just wandered around the Hyuga Compound on Hinata's birthday—he had spent the entire year exploring.
Appearances could be deceiving, but talent never lied.
As long as he could see the "bubbles" above people's heads, no amount of disguise could hide their true abilities.
And at last, on the day of Hinata's third birthday—the same day the Cloud Village's envoy arrived in Konoha—he finally saw Toneri and his father in the crowd.
Born without eyes, Toneri did not possess the Byakugan as a talent.
He had no low-tier talents at all.
But he did have one high-tier, red-colored talent—
Otsutsuki Bloodline.
Kenjiro had seen the Otsutsuki Bloodline talent before, but the Hyuga Clan's versions were at most blue in color.
Even Toneri's father only had a purple one—not even gold.
But Toneri's Otsutsuki Bloodline surpassed gold, reaching the highest known tier—red.
Kenjiro didn't hesitate for a second—he copied the talent immediately.
For the next three years, Kenjiro's power skyrocketed.
Upon extracting chakra for the first time, his Chunin Talent (Green) upgraded to Super-Kage Talent (Gold).
As long as he didn't die young, he was destined to stand alongside Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
If he transplanted Hinata or Hanabi's Byakugan, and formed Truth-Seeking Orbs, he would ascend to the Six Paths level.
Months later, he unlocked another talent—All-Attribute Affinity (Purple).
Just like Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and Kakashi Hatake, he could wield all five chakra natures.
At age five, he unlocked yet another talent…
And it scared the hell out of him.
Because…
He awakened the Byakugan!
Not his eyes turning white permanently—
But an activation-based Byakugan, just like Himawari Uzumaki's.
Under the influence of his Otsutsuki Bloodline, his eyes remained normal by default.
When activated, his temples bulged and his pupils turned white.
This discovery relieved him.
Otherwise, he would've needed to wear sunglasses all the time or, like Kakashi in the original story, buy colored contact lenses just to blend in.
