"18, run another simulation. This time, I want to alter the Divine Tree's growth environment, using simulations of the Moon and several other major planets, combined with an energy conversion device for planting, while factoring in the effect of magnetic fields on the tree."
Hyuga Mirai had considered this idea countless times in his mind before proposing a new method for cultivating the Divine Tree. He had been stuck on this research for nearly a year, achieving minor breakthroughs each time but never making progress in the final step.
Upon hearing Mirai's command, 18 immediately projected images of the major planets and the Moon and began the simulation planting. This was Mirai's improved Divine Tree variant. Although it still required a sacrifice from the Otsutsuki Clan to grow, Mirai could clone his own tissue and let the tree grow chakra fruits according to his genetic template.
"Simulation in progress."
"Growth proceeding smoothly."
"Lunar Divine Tree planting failed."
"Venus Divine Tree planting failed."
Mirai frowned slightly upon seeing the first two failures. He had anticipated Venus might fail due to its proximity to the star—too much energy is also a test for the tree—but the Moon's failure was puzzling. He had assumed the Moon would be the optimal planting ground.
Excluding energy issues, the Moon should have been ideal.
"If the environment isn't the problem, then I need to consider the tree's vitality. We'll start modifying its genes from the seedling stage…"
Before Mirai could finalize his new plan, 18's simulation projection offered another update.
"Jupiter Divine Tree planting failed."
"Mars Divine Tree planting succeeded. Growth is complete. It is currently estimated that full maturity requires 1,029 days. After 600 days, energy output can be adjusted to accelerate maturation."
Mirai was momentarily stunned, then immediately opened the detailed data for careful review.
"It actually succeeded? Is it due to the magnetic field?"
Mirai had dispatched reconnaissance devices to gather environmental data from the planets. Mars and Earth were the most similar, yet hundreds of Earth simulations had all failed. His expectations for Mars had been low. Now, success was unexpected.
"Continue simulations, 18. Consider the environmental effects on Mars. Will it affect the planet? Looks like I can't recreate Mars' environment in the Ninja World for cultivation."
Studying the simulation, Mirai reflected on the possible outcome: the type of chakra fruit that might grow, noting it would likely differ from the magatama-linked Rinnegan of the Ninja World. The tree's growth depended on the environment and absorbed energy—similar to how the Sharingan, said to mirror the mind, is closely tied to the Uchiha's experiences.
With the experiment finally successful, Mirai smiled in satisfaction and asked, "18, how's the seedling separation plan coming along?"
"Very successful, sir. However, Lady Kiyo was looking for you half an hour ago. She said if you didn't return within twenty minutes, you'd regret it."
Mirai froze.
"The twenty minutes she mentioned half an hour ago… wasn't that already past? 18, why are you only telling me now?"
"Critical experiments sever all outside contact. That was your rule, sir."
Mirai covered his face, wanting to return immediately but unable to leave his experiment. He finalized the next simulation settings before using the Yomi Birasaka to return home.
Nearly two years had passed since the time travel, and Mirai's two children were born—a boy and a girl. Kiyo named her daughter Mio, while Kurenai Yuhi picked a casual combination from a book and named her son Yuto.
Hyuga Mio and Hyuga Yuto were now Mirai's children.
Mio was born with deep blue Rinnegan, permanently active like her father's. With increasing chakra, by six or seven, she could reach Chunin-level strength. Being Mirai's daughter, her chakra potential would surpass everyone else.
Kiyo's own strength was already formidable; genetically modified by Mirai, she could easily rank among the top ten in the Federation if she acted more.
Expectations for Mio were high. When she was born, the Hyuga clan sent dozens of representatives to witness the strongest bloodline in the clan. Kiyo had even planned for Mio to begin training at four, start school at six, and assist with Federation matters by eight.
Yuto, likely influenced by Kurenai, inherited Mirai's Divine Tree genes and awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan shortly after birth. Both Kurenai and Mikoto Uchiha were shocked; Mirai had 18 compile an analysis of bloodline limits, explaining the Uchiha-Senju lineage and the Ten-Tails inheritance.
As the source of the bloodline, Mirai ensured that future descendants would manifest various kekkei genkai, with Rinnegan, Divine Tree, and Byakugan being the most likely.
Yuto's status was akin to a second-generation Otsutsuki, comparable to Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Unlike Mio, Kurenai lacked Hyuga genes, so Yuto's awakening of most Divine Tree genes caused him to manifest the Sharingan.
Mikoto, Sasuke, and others felt conflicted; seeing Yuto awaken three tomoe at a few days old emphasized the extraordinary power inherent in Mirai's descendants.
Kurenai's expectations for Yuto were lower; with the Ninja World unified and her husband supreme, no enemies or problems could challenge them. Life was comfortable, with Kurenai and Ayaka planning Mirai's wardrobe and secretly preparing dozens of outfits for Kiyo.
Her father, Yuhi Makoto, regained vitality after receiving Mirai's genetic medicine, extending his work years. With all crises resolved, Kurenai intended to enjoy life, making up for the lost years during the war.
Upon returning from Roran, Mirai found the house empty; Kiyo had taken Mio and Yuto to the hospital. Kurenai, initially intending to play games while Yuto was taken, was scolded and taken along.
Mirai monitored from home, relaxed, and made tea.
When Kiyo and Kurenai returned, they found Mirai sitting on the sofa.
"Why go to the hospital today? Aren't I the best medical ninja?"
Kiyo shot him a glare. Years of marriage hadn't changed her demeanor.
Mirai chuckled, "With you there, I was completely at ease."
Kiyo's anger eased but she reminded him, "Do your duty as a father."
Mirai agreed and asked about the children: "What happened that required a hospital check?"
"They've been using their dojutsu. Mio occasionally, but Yuto keeps his Sharingan active. They're not even one yet."
After the check, both were healthy.
"Just that? The three-tomoe Sharingan shouldn't affect Yuto much. What abilities can Mio use?"
Curious, Mirai teased Mio, causing her to cry and struggle, and her blue eyes flashed.
Boom.
A repulsive force radiated from Mio, pushing Mirai and the table's fruit and teapot. Even the coffee table shifted.
"Using Rinnegan dojutsu already—exactly my daughter."
Seeing Kiyo's uneasy glance, Mirai coughed and explained, "It's a minor issue. Simple solution: seal their abilities for now."
Kiyo worried, "Seal them? Ayaka said sealing dojutsu is rare…"
Before she finished, Mirai touched Mio's forehead; she yawned and slept.
"This isn't sealing her eyes, just preventing chakra use."
He confirmed this was fatigue from lost chakra and handed her to Kiyo. Similarly, Yuto's chakra was sealed. Both had a form of yin sealing to store excess chakra until adolescence.
Without chakra, Mio's Rinnegan became ordinary blue eyes, Yuto's slightly dark red, resembling Kurenai. Kurenai hugged and kissed Yuto until he playfully pushed her three times, then crawled toward Kiyo.
"With Mio and Yuto's issues handled, we should celebrate tonight."
Kurenai suggested, licking her lips. Kiyo considered protesting, but with Mirai agreeing and Ayaka present, she joined in.
Meanwhile, Mirai realized the house needed someone for chores. Originally intending to follow Kiyo, Hyuga Yuu had her own partner, so Kiyo declined.
Few could be trusted. Mirai remembered a partially sealed consciousness in the Shikyu Space; Tsunade could release it, letting the God of the Rabbit return as a servant.
Early morning, Mirai left quietly before Kiyo awoke. The previous night had been intense; he wanted to check Tsunade and Hyuga Hinata's progress on the Pure Land Gate.
He also arranged breakfast for them, anticipating their waking.
When Kiyo awoke, she recalled last night and angrily slapped Kurenai.
"Mirai, let's deal with Kiyo together!" Kurenai protested.
"Your Mirai is gone! I'll deal with him myself!"
Kiyo's dominance quickly subdued Kurenai, who found Ayaka had already left quietly.
