Planning

"So what do you want us to do. We want to join in this plan of yours." asked Kushina breaking the silence. Mikoto and Kana had a serious face. From this moment on their fate was going to change and at the center of it was Arashi.

"So you have decided to join me. Thank you guys. It makes me happy to know that you have given me a chance. Though we had a wrong start, lets leave that behind and work together. Whatever I have in mind, it's not going to work if you guys don't help me." said Arashi. He had big smile on his face. Truth to be told, he was some what nervous. He really wanted them to accept his proposal. He didn't want to walk this path alone. He might never reach his goal that way. Only with the help of true friends would make it easier.

"Ok now that you have agreed, first step in our plan is improving our strengths. Kushina and I are already using seals to make our body stronger and increase our chakra levels. I will talk with grandma Mito and help you two to get the seals. In fact I am going to tell her and Tsunade what I have told all of you. This way they may join us." said Arashi.

"After you get your seals we are going to train hard and increase our chakra levels. It might be a slow start but without enough chakra we can't use any high rank jutsu. Also we will be increasing our stamina so that we can fight for long time. Next in my plan is chakra control and chakra nature training. I want everyone to focus on these two exercises. All of our chakra control should at least be jonin level. I don't want any of you to waste a single ounce of chakra unnecessarily.

Next is chakra nature training. You may have heard about it. Let me tell you about it in detail is an advanced form of chakra control that entails the molding and defining of the nature of one's chakra, altering its properties and characteristics for use in techniques. Nature transformation is one of two necessary components for creating or modifying a technique, the second component being shape transformation. While nature transformation changes the properties of the chakra, shape transformation changes the actual form and movement, altering its abilities.

The Five Basic Natures (Godai Kihon Seishitsu) are the five elemental chakra natures, which are the foundation of all elemental ninjutsu. They are so vital to the shinobi lifestyle that each of the Five Great Shinobi Countries is named after one of the five. Each element is naturally weaker than and stronger than another:

Fire (Hi) is strong against Wind but weak against Water.

Wind (Kaze) is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire.

Lightning (Kaminari) is strong against Earth but weak against Wind.

Earth (Tsuchi) is strong against Water but weak against Lightning.

Water (Mizu) is strong against Fire but weak against Earth.

Basically, if an elemental technique is put against another elemental technique of the same level, but of a stronger nature, then the technique with the superior nature will prevail. However, a technique with a weaker nature can overpower a technique with a stronger nature if the former is of a higher level. For example, fire can overpower a water technique if it is first strengthened by a wind technique.

A similar principle applies in how technique of the same element interact, what is called counterbalancing. If two techniques of the same nature and the same level are used against each other, they will cancel each other out, as when Lightning Release: False Darkness is deflected with Lightning Cutter. However, if the two techniques have different levels, the higher-level technique will not only prevail but will grow stronger from interaction with the weaker.

In general, every person's chakra has an affinity towards one of the five basic nature transformations. Affinity can at times be genetic, or at least common to a particular family; most members of the Uchiha clan have an affinity towards the Fire nature. One's affinity can be determined using pieces of paper made from a special type of tree that is grown and fed with chakra. When this so-called "Chakra Induction Paper" is exposed to even the slightest hint of chakra, it reacts according to the chakra's latent element:

Fire: the paper will ignite and turn to ash.

Wind: the paper will split in two.

Lightning: the paper will wrinkle.

Earth: the paper will turn to dirt and crumble away.

Water: the paper will become wet/damp.

Shinobi have an easier time learning to create and control a chakra nature that matches their affinity, although even then it may take a number of years. Shinobi are not limited to the nature they have an affinity for, and it is in fact common for jonin to have mastered two natures. Although it is technically possible to master all five natures, it is very rare because of how much of training is involved; Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi are the only shinobi known to have done so via normal means. As far as I know from my future memories, Rinnegan and Tenseigan allows you to acquire all five chakra nature easily.

Aside from the five elemental nature transformations, there are two nature transformations that are the source of all non-elemental techniques, such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, Multi-Size Technique, medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, etc. There is Yin Release (Inton), based on the imagination and spiritual energy of a shinobi, and Yang Release (Yoton), based on the vitality and physical energy of a shinobi. Together, they are used to perform Yin–Yang Release (In'yoton, Onmyoton).

The transformation of Yin and Yang has to do with altering the balance between spiritual and physical energy in chakra."

"But Yin and Yang release are very difficult to master. But these two are most important because if you look closely, we mold spiritual energy and physical energy to perform ninjutsu. Ultimately we are using Yin-Yang release unconsciously. So if someone mastered these nature transformation, you can use these to create something out of nothing but pure chakra. Hagoromo used this technique to divide Ten Tails chakra into nine parts who have independent conscious and are not affected by Ten Tails.

Aside from these basic nature transformations, there are other elemental transformation like Ice, Wood, Lava, Boil, Magnet, Dust etc. These elemental transformation requires you to combine two or more elements simultaneously to perform. For example Ice release is created by simultaneously combining the Water and Wind natures, Wood Release (Mokuton) is created by simultaneously combining the Earth and Water natures.

But simultaneously using two elements require great chakra control and nature transformation training. Even then you require spiritual energy powerful enough to combine those two.

I think spiritual energy is an important aspect for mastering nature release. Just think what you can do if you can use a jutsu with a thought rather than hand signs. This is also a very important aspect. That's why dojutsu clans can master jutsu easily compared to normal clan as their spiritual power is higher compare to others. For example if you manage to transplant sharingan and manage to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan, its technique like Susanoo will come naturally to you with repeated use even though you have to spend more chakra. But if you had cells of First Hokage and manage to awaken Wood Style, you will have to learn all the jutsu related to it before you can use it in battle.

But physical power trumps spiritual power in terms of stamina. A sharingan user will run out of chakra after repeated use and suffer weakness but an Uzumaki can still fight him even after long battle due to his superior physic. That's the reason you have to aim for both rather than enhancing only one. I think its another reason why you need both Senju and Uchiha bloodline to awaken Rinnegan.

So our main priority is both building our stamina and chakra along with chakra control and nature transformation exercise. After your chakra is up to acceptable level, you can use shadow clone jutsu to gain knowledge by reading and help you with training.

After this I believe we should focus on learning medical ninjutsu. It is important to know how to heal yourself in time of emergency. Also medical ninjutsu will help us in learning more about our bloodline and how to enhance it by combining suitable bloodline. This way all of us can gain more power without having any limit to our potential. And if we manage to form Otsutsuki bloodline then reaching Kaguya's level is not impossible. She may have gained her power from chakra fruit but she may not have an battle experience like shinobi." explained Arashi in a detailed way.

After listening to his lengthy explanation carefully, everyone had a new motivation for training hard. If what Arashi said was all true and they achieved even some of their goals, they would become unstoppable. Like Madara Uchiha and First Hokage Hashirama Senju who could deter the whole shinobi world alone with their prowess, they could reach their level or they might surpass them.

Kana however was thinking about what Arashi had said about Otsutsuki clan. She thought 'From his words it seems like we all are descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki. But I can't still understand why he seems so fixed on gaining their bloodline. I mean I can understand gaining Rinnegan might be his goal. But I think there is more to it than he is telling.'

Kana decided to get clear understanding of what they were getting themselves into before making any decision. Gathering her courage, Kana asked "Arashi, I am going to ask you something. But I want clear answer for it. Why are you so fixed in gaining Otsutsuki clan bloodline? I can understand if you are doing this for gaining more power but I think there is more to it than it seems."

Suddenly all of the occupants of the room turn their gaze towards Arashi. They were so drowned in their thoughts that they forgot to think about what had Kana asked. They now were expecting a clear reason from him.

Arashi took a deep breath. He cleared all unnecessary thoughts and started explaining his reasons to them.

"It seems I have forgotten the most important part to reveal it to you. You know I have already said that Otsutsuki clan members have been travelling throughout dimensions seeking out worlds to plant Ten-Tail saplings into. Once planted, it grows into a God Tree with its roots spreading across the planet to siphon chakra and genetic material from all its surroundings and inhabitants, resulting in everything dying and it bearing a large fruit for the Otsutsuki to consume in order for them to evolve, gaining power and longevity. Once harvested, as they no longer need the planet, they move to another to repeat the process. In order for the Ten-Tails seeds to bloom into a God Tree, a living Otsutsuki must be fed to the beast, hence the clan members travel in pairs, with the lower ranking being the sacrifice, while the other one watches over the fruit's cultivation. However, the Otsutsuki to be sacrificed utilize Kama to prepare a vessel beforehand in order to revive themselves.

The ones responsible to harvest the Earth's God Tree of its chakra fruit were Isshiki Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya was to be sacrificed to the God Tree. But I don't know what had happened, Kaguya betrayed her partner and severely injured Isshiki and fled. Later she consumed the chakra fruit herself and awakened Rinne Sharingan. Before you ask what is it, Rinne Sharingan is the predecessor of Rinnegan and Sharingan, Its power easily outmatch them. I don't know the details about its power but creating new worlds is one of them. Let just say its Godly. Using its godlike power to end the constant war of Earth's human population with the Infinite Tsukuyomi, resulting in world peace and her being initially viewed as a benevolent deity. Foreseeing the consequences of consuming the Chakra fruit against her clan's wishes, she converted the imprisoned Infinite Tsukuyomi victims into a White Zetsu Army in preparation for the arrival of other clansmen looking to steal her chakra — an act which lead to humans viewing her as a demon and the Otsutsuki condemning her as a traitor.

Now you already know rest of the story. Though Kaguya's action was deemed to be evil, she had good intention in her mind. If she had not did what she had done, we humans would have long dead.

It's been a millennium and I think Otsutsuki clan members will be coming soon to take back the chakra. Lets not forget about Isshiki. I am 100% sure he is not dead. He must have been planning for a thousand of years to collect the chakra fruit and take revenge for her betrayal. I don't know why he have not attacked yet but I am pretty sure he must be waiting for a chance to strike.

If Isshiki was stronger than Kaguya and he is preparing for a long time, I don't want to know the chances of us winning against him. Even if whole shinobi world are to be against him there is no chance of winning. If he somehow managed to get his hands on a chakra fruit, even if Hagoromo and Hamura are revived with full strength, they will be killed. Isshiki will not show any mercy.

That's why I am planning to create the Otsutsuki bloodline and use it for us to train properly before facing him. In this way, we can face him somehow."

Everyone were feeling fear and dread from the bottom of their soul. Just thinking of a future of facing such a monster made them shiver unconsciously. Now they were knew they had to carry out his plans. Otherwise they didn't know of any other way of facing such monster.

"Ok you don't need to worry about the future. What's going to come will happen even if you delay it. So, it better to be prepared than doing nothing. Now that everything is clear, I will suggest you to keep an open mind to unorthodox thinking. Sometime you can gain new findings or new path for your future. Don't limit your thinking to that of your clan. Break the limit and be something that you yourself will be proud of rather than others whose opinion will change according to your display." advised Arashi.

Kushina, Mikoto and Kana were now fully motivated and eager to achieve their goals. But they all knew one thing about strength, if you didn't earned it yourself, it would be difficult to bring the true potential of the strength. And for this you need huge amount of training and time. They thanked Arashi in their minds for disclosing such information to them. Because they knew that if it was someone else in his position, he would have tried to increase his own strength rather than sharing it with others.

They all knew that without this information, they all would have been strong in the future. But not as strong as legendary shinobi. Who didn't want to become so strong that nobody would have the courage to even fight them.

They all started to form their own training plans according to their own current talents.

Kushina said "So, before we are 100% sure of merging bloodline without any side effect, I think we should focus in our own clan's talent. We all know that creating Otsutsuki bloodline by merging Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga, Uchiha, Kaguya and Otsutsuki of the moon is going to take many years of experimentations to complete. Till then its better to leave that alone. Nobody wants any side effect after changing our bloodline. So, for now we will just train in order to increase our individual strength. After this if we want to learn medical ninjutsu or any other branch, then we should learn.

Rather than forcing ourselves to learn everything, its better to be master in one field. Also we should work on our weakness."

Listening to her words Mikoto said "Yes, we should do like that. This way I should try to unlock my sharingan and mature it before graduation. Meanwhile I will work on my chakra control and chakra nature transformation. If I have time left I will work on medical ninjutsu. I always wanted to be a medic ninja."

"Meanwhile I will train with my byakugan and increase its range and activation time to the limit. We Hyuga clan members have no limit for our maximum range of sight while using byakugan. Also I will work on taijutsu and ninjutsu. I know for sure I will face ridicule of my clan members if I practice ninjutsu or medical jutsu. But I will not be discouraged and bound myself to be limited. Arashi, you are right to say we Hyuga have limited our own power. With the visual prowess of Byakugan and easier chakra control, we would have easily surpassed the Uchiha clan. I mean even the progenitor of chakra Kaguya Otsutsuki had byakugan and Rinne Sharingan. I am going to reach that level." said Kana with determination.

"Also do you know how to evolve byakugan?" asked Kana.

"As far as know from the memories, Hamura had managed to evolve his Byakugan in to Tenseigan. It's comparable to Rinnegan. But to awaken it, I think you have to do like what you have to do to awaken Rinnegan. Combining the Hyuga bloodline with the Otsutsuki of the moon along with Kaguya clan of Kiri, I think you can awaken the Tenseigan." said Arashi.

Hearing his words Kana became very happy. She began thinking of various ways to awaken Tenseigan.

Looking at the three girls in front of him, Arashi felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders. After reviewing the memories he had been constantly thinking of solutions. Now he felt he had a chance of facing whatever was coming in the future.
