Chapter 91: Divine Art: God Of Waves!
"Hah!" Yuma shouted loudly, following the guidance of his blood to increase his Chakra output.
In an instant, the colossal eight-headed serpent before him vanished. In its place, an ominous sword appeared in his hand, composed of multiple snake tongues dripping with blood.
"Tsk! How disgusting!" Yuma muttered, even though he knew these were merely Chakra manifestations and not real flesh and blood.
The sword, forged from the eerie tongues, resembled an eight-sided Han sword. However, its grotesque appearance irritated him. He had no choice—when the giant snake had materialized, his blood had instinctively guided its transformation into a weapon.
His own bloodline lacked 'horns' and special 'eyes.' As a result, he couldn't manifest weapons freely like the true Ōtsutsuki. Instead, he was forced to use these incomplete, flesh-and-blood constructs temporarily.
Yuma had no doubts about the knowledge embedded within his Ōtsutsuki bloodline. As a space-faring civilization, the Ōtsutsuki's mastery over information was unparalleled. Their "Wedge," the resurrection technique that compressed an individual's Chakra data into a retrievable file, was proof of this prowess.
Because of this, he trusted the information surfacing from his blood—he truly did lack the necessary 'horns' and 'eyes.'
As for why his Sharingan was inadequate, Yuma had already deduced the answer. For the Ōtsutsuki, neither the Rinnegan nor the Sharingan were essential.
The Byakugan was.
Every known Ōtsutsuki possessed the Byakugan, even when they wielded other, more powerful eyes. Urashiki's Byakugan transformed into the Sharingan, Isshiki's Byakugan evolved into the Black Eye, and Momoshiki valued the Pure Eye—each derived from the Byakugan.
Even the natives of the ninja world had records indicating that the Sharingan originated from the Byakugan. Kakashi himself had mentioned this during the Chūnin Exams.
Thus, the Byakugan was truly special.
Lacking complete information, Yuma could only theorize. However, his immediate concern was refining his weapon using the system's enhancements.
"After all, this sword in my hand is just materialized Chakra, right?" Yuma activated his Sharingan, staring intently at the ominous blade.
A thought emerged:
"System, install the Spiritual Weapon entry!"
The system responded immediately, integrating the new entry.
The moment it was installed, Yuma allowed its power to flow into the cursed sword in his grip.
——Buzz!
As the system's energy fused with the weapon, a surge of information erupted from deep within his bloodline.
Without hesitation, Yuma instinctively shouted:
"Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon—Tianyuyu Slash!"
With a thunderous boom, scarlet wind engulfed the ominous sword in his hand.
Snap! Snap!
With an eerie sound, the writhing snake tongues peeled away, revealing a pristine steel blade underneath.
As the scarlet wind fully enveloped the sword—
The divine blade, Tianyuyu Slash, was born!
Raising the holy sword, now bathed in crimson wind, Yuma marveled. "This is the power of the Ōtsutsuki... Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon?!"
According to official records, Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon's ability transformed Ōtsutsuki power into a weapon capable of taking countless forms—a divine art of unparalleled versatility. However, judging from its depiction in the original story, only figures like Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, who reveled in spectacle, would use it frequently. Guardians like Kinshiki had merely inherited it as a duty.
Unlike the eye-based techniques of the Ōtsutsuki, Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon was a learned and inherited ability. Yet, among the powerful Ōtsutsuki 'young masters,' none seemed to favor it—perhaps because elite warriors preferred more sophisticated techniques over simple weapon transformations.
"However, my Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon feels... different," Yuma mused, sensing the new power within him. "The sealing ability from my entry should still be functional, right? If so, my Chakra weapons are already stronger than Momoshiki's!"
After all, Momoshiki and Kinshiki had only used Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon as a master-servant pair. Their weapons were versatile yet lacked additional functionalities.
"No wonder other Ōtsutsuki elites don't train in this technique. Who among them would willingly wield cold weapons against native inhabitants when harvesting planets?"
Yuma grinned at his new crimson blade, raising it high.
"But mine is different! The system has enhanced it with special abilities!"
With a decisive motion, Yuma swung the divine sword.
Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled!
Scarlet divine wind erupted, sweeping across the gray landscape.
——Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Everything the wind touched seemed to dissolve, transforming into swirling currents of crimson energy.
Yuma laughed in exhilaration. "Spalasi!"
Watching the unfolding spectacle, his eyes gleamed with understanding:
"If I'm not mistaken, the matter being touched by the wind is being eroded, converted into Chakra, and assimilated into the storm!"
At that moment, Yuma recalled how his disciple, Uchiha Itachi, had once wielded the Totsuka Blade to seal Orochimaru's massive serpent form into a gourd.
His own Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon weapon—the Snake Sword—had now evolved into Tianyuyu Slash, carrying the same sealing power from the system's entry.
Inspired, Yuma pulled out his outdated ninja sword. Compared to his new weapon, it was severely lacking, with only four system entries:
[Thunder Attachment (Blue)]
[Lifesucking Immortality (Blue)]
[Chakra Mimicry (Blue)]
[Chakra Absorption and Integration (Blue)]
A thought struck him:
"Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon has already formed Tianyuyu Slash... can it integrate these entries too?"
If so, his weapon dilemmas would be solved permanently!
This was critical.
After all, Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon forcibly manifested weapons from his bloodline. Now that he had drawn out this power, he needed to refine and strengthen it.
If his theory was correct—if he could merge weapon entries into the ever-changing Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon—then his arsenal would become exponentially more powerful!
Weapons were crucial in every power system, be it Eastern mythology or Western legends. In the Investiture of the Gods, an immortal without magical weapons was vastly inferior to one who had them. Even in Greek mythology, Zeus with his thunderbolts was entirely different from Zeus without them.
Determined, Yuma formulated his next move.
"System! Transfer the entries from my ninja sword... into Heavenly Transformation Divine Weapon!"
——Buzz!
The glow of the ninja sword's entries began to intensify.
