Chapter 166: Takuya-Kun, You Have Become A God
---
**[Ding!]**
**[You have married Hinata. Rewards: Byakugan, Tenseigan, and Tenseigan Chakra Mode!]**
**[All attributes increased by 500%!]**
**[Ding!]**
**[You have shared a night with Hinata. Reward: Chakra +2!]**
As the system notifications echoed in his mind, Takuya felt an intense surge of power flowing through his body. A warm current coursed through him, breaking the limits of his strength.
**Boom!**
A wave of energy radiated from him, causing the very air around him to tremble. Takuya couldn't help but smile, overwhelmed with excitement.
He had broken through yet again! Already at the pinnacle of the Bloodline Limit, he had now transcended it. With the newfound power from the system rewards, he had ascended beyond even Kaguya's level.
**"This power... it's incredible!"** Takuya marveled, feeling the immense strength surging within him. His abilities were now beyond anything he had previously imagined.
**"The realm beyond the Bloodline Limit... I'll call it the God Realm,"** Takuya murmured to himself. He now understood that he had become something far greater than before—capable of unimaginable feats, even destroying the planet if he so wished.
**"Hinata, are you alright?"** he asked, turning his attention to his new wife.
Hinata, who was lying beside him, trembled slightly, her expression dazed and overwhelmed.
**"I... I'm fine,"** she replied softly, though her voice shook. **"But... you feel different. It's like... I'm afraid."**
Despite her immense strength—thanks to her mastery of the Tenseigan—Hinata found herself unnerved by the sheer force of Takuya's presence. Her soul seemed to tremble just from being near him.
**"How did you become so strong all of a sudden?"** she asked, her voice filled with awe and confusion.
Takuya smiled warmly at her. **"I had a breakthrough,"** he said simply.
Hinata was left speechless. A breakthrough? During *that*?
The comparison was maddening!
Takuya, sensing her unease, leaned closer, his tone playful. **"Hinata, we shouldn't waste time. There's still so much for you to learn."**
Hinata's face flushed bright red, her embarrassment evident. **"Please stop talking... or I might faint."**
Takuya chuckled softly. **"Alright, alright. It's better to act than talk, after all."**

The next morning, as Takuya opened the door to the quiet hallway, he spotted Karin slumped against the wall, fast asleep. He sighed in exasperation—had she really been listening all night?
Takuya walked over and gently tapped her shoulder. **"Karin, wake up."**
**"Mmm... don't bother me,"** Karin mumbled, still half-asleep. Then, as her eyes slowly fluttered open and she realized who was standing in front of her, she jumped to her feet in an instant.
**"Takuya-sama!"** Karin blurted out, looking flustered.
Takuya raised an eyebrow. **"Karin, what were you doing out here?"** His tone was stern, though he was more amused than upset.
**"I wasn't eavesdropping! I swear!"** Karin stammered, her face turning red as she tightly shut her eyes. **"I just... fell asleep here by accident."**
Takuya couldn't help but smile wryly. **"Karin, you're too honest for your own good."**
Karin looked down, a little dejected. **"I'm sorry..."**
Takuya sighed softly. **"You're a young woman now, Karin. You should be more mindful of your actions."**
Karin bit her lip, her face still flushed. **"I know... but... I can't help it. I like you, Takuya-sama."**
Ever since Takuya had saved her from her dark past, Karin had admired him deeply. Over time, those feelings had blossomed into something stronger—something she could no longer hide. Just being near him made her heart race.
Takuya sighed again, this time more softly. **"Karin, do you really want to marry me?"**
Karin hesitated for a moment before blurting out, **"I'd be happy just to be—"**
**"Stop!"** Takuya quickly interrupted her, shaking his head. **"I understand your feelings, Karin, but there's no need to say it like that."**
He smiled gently at her. **"We'll talk about this with Kushina. In time, I'll marry you as well."**
Karin's face turned bright red, and before Takuya could say anything else, she fainted on the spot, overwhelmed by emotion.
Takuya blinked in surprise. **"Was that... normal?"** he wondered aloud, shaking his head with a bemused expression. **"Are all girls this intense?"**

After carrying Karin back to her room, Takuya left without a word.
Leaving the room, Takuya activated **Kamui**, transporting himself instantly to Orochimaru's laboratory.
Inside, Orochimaru was deeply engrossed in an experiment involving **Tenseigan** gene transplantation and cloning. As Takuya entered, Orochimaru paused his work, eyes gleaming with curiosity.
**"Takuya-kun, what brings you here alone?"** Orochimaru inquired, a hint of intrigue in his voice.
**"What? Am I not allowed to visit on my own?"** Takuya raised an eyebrow, half-amused.
**"Not at all, just unusual,"** Orochimaru responded, a sly smile forming on his lips.
**"Enough with the jokes. I'm here because I need something serious from you,"** Takuya said, his tone growing serious.
Orochimaru's interest piqued. **"I'm listening,"** he replied, eager to hear more.
**"I need a Sacred Tree seed,"** Takuya stated bluntly.
Orochimaru's eyes widened slightly. **"A Sacred Tree seed?"** he echoed, clearly surprised. **"Why the sudden interest, Takuya-kun? You've never been keen on using those before."**
Orochimaru recalled how Takuya had dismissed the idea of using the Sacred Tree seeds when they were first developed. Back then, Takuya had cited the dangers of the vast universe, even suggesting that not even his immense strength could guarantee safety against certain threats.
But now, Takuya was requesting the very thing he had previously avoided. Orochimaru couldn't help but wonder what had changed.
**"It's simple,"** Takuya said, his voice calm. **"I've reached a new level of power."**
Orochimaru's eyes widened further, disbelief clear on his face. **"A new level?"** he muttered. Takuya was already more powerful than anyone he knew, surpassing even **Kaguya Ōtsutsuki**. And now, he claimed to have grown stronger?
**"Takuya-kun, just how powerful are you now?"** Orochimaru asked, licking his lips—a habit whenever he was particularly excited or intrigued.
Takuya smirked. **"Let's just say that crushing someone with a Kekkei Genkai would be as easy as squashing an ant."**
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with both awe and excitement. He had long pursued power in all its forms, and hearing about Takuya's overwhelming strength fueled his obsessive curiosity.
**"Takuya-kun, would you spar with me? I want to feel your power firsthand,"** Orochimaru asked eagerly.
Takuya, ever confident, shrugged. **"Fine. Are you ready?"**
Orochimaru nodded solemnly, bracing himself for what was to come. **"I'm ready."**
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Orochimaru felt his consciousness flicker. For a brief moment, his very soul seemed to shatter, and the world around him went black. Just as quickly, his senses returned, and he found himself back in the laboratory, as if nothing had happened.
But it had.
**"Such... incredible power,"** Orochimaru muttered, a twisted smile forming on his face. Despite the fleeting nature of the spar, he knew what had occurred. In a mere fraction of a second, Takuya had crushed his soul and restored it effortlessly.
Even with his own near-**Six Paths** level of power, Orochimaru understood that every backup plan and safeguard he had meticulously prepared would be useless against Takuya. His power now transcended all known techniques and strategies.
**"Takuya-kun, you've become... a god,"** Orochimaru whispered, a mixture of fear and admiration in his voice.
If the strength of a **Kekkei Mōra** relied on advanced techniques and chakra, Takuya had now moved beyond that. He wielded a force more primal—**the power over reality itself**.
**"I want that power,"** Orochimaru confessed, his hunger for knowledge and strength unquenched.
Takuya looked at him calmly. **"As long as you stay by my side, Orochimaru, anything is possible."**
Orochimaru's smile widened as he bowed his head respectfully. **"Thank you, Takuya-kun."**
Then, lifting his head slightly, he added, **"With this new power of yours, you plan to test the Sacred Tree seed on a distant planet, don't you?"**
**"Exactly,"** Takuya confirmed. That was his plan—to use his newfound strength to explore the universe and experiment with the Sacred Tree seeds on uncharted worlds.
**"Then... may I accompany you? I want to witness the Sacred Tree's power firsthand,"** Orochimaru requested, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Takuya paused to consider the request before giving a nod. **"No problem. If the seeds work as planned, you can have the first fruit."**
To Takuya, the fruit's power was insignificant. But for Orochimaru, it could represent an immeasurable boost in strength.
**"Thank you, Takuya-kun,"** Orochimaru said, bowing again, gratitude clear in his voice. His decision to follow Takuya had undoubtedly been the right one.
