While assisting Hanabi, Shishou activated his Rinnegan to carefully observe her internal state.
According to Kaguya, the Tenseigan is a special mutation of the Byakugan from the Otsutsuki clan, and even Kaguya wasn't sure about its exact powers.
Shishou wasn't certain if combining the Uzumaki and Hyuga bloodlines could awaken the Tenseigan.
Boruto, Naruto's son, was a unique case, being part Uzumaki, part descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, and having the Sage's body.
So, Shishou had to experiment step by step to figure out what triggered Boruto's Tenseigan.
As Shishou continued the infusion, Hanabi's meager chakra reserves began to rapidly increase, soon reaching 2 kǎ, then 3 kǎ, 4 kǎ, and eventually 100 kǎ...
However, no matter how much Hanabi's chakra increased, her Byakugan showed no signs of actively absorbing the chakra, causing Shishou to frown slightly.
When Hinata had first acquired the Otsutsuki bloodline, her eyes almost drained her dry.
Since Hanabi's Byakugan wasn't absorbing chakra, it indicated no signs of awakening.
Thinking this, Shishou took out another batch of Phosphorus bugs from his insect breeding space, preparing to infuse Hanabi with Hashirama's cells.
He intended to piece together all the elements found in Boruto.
As Hanabi began to awaken Hashirama's cells, Shishou noticed her eyes starting to absorb chakra more intensely.
"It's happening!"
Seeing this, Shishou was overjoyed and continued aiding Hanabi in awakening Hashirama's cells.
After Hanabi successfully awakened the Uzumaki bloodline and Hashirama's cells, Shishou withdrew the Phosphorus bugs and continued to monitor Hanabi's condition.
A few minutes later, Shishou observed.
Hanabi's Byakugan maintained a steady rate of chakra absorption, not too fast nor too slow, similar to when he awakened his Rinnegan.
This meant that whether Hanabi could awaken the Tenseigan would only be known after a few years.
"Should I use the God Tree's power to accelerate Hanabi's progress?" Shishou hesitated, pondering.
After considering, Shishou dismissed the idea.
He feared that using the God Tree's power might interfere with Hanabi's eye awakening, possibly turning them into Rinnegan.
To be safe, he decided to observe for a few years.
With this in mind, Shishou told Hanabi she could open her eyes.
Hanabi opened her eyes and immediately activated her Byakugan to examine her body.
"My chakra... has increased so much..."
Seeing the vast amount of chakra within her, Hanabi was shocked.
Then, looking up at Shishou, she asked excitedly:
"Shishou, did you help increase my chakra?"
Seeing Hanabi's cute, surprised expression, Shishou smiled and said:
"Yes, I secretly used many of our master's rare treasures. Hanabi, you mustn't tell anyone about this, okay?"
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Hanabi nodded vigorously.
Growing up in a large ninja clan, Hanabi knew the implications of Shishou's ability to increase chakra being revealed.
Moreover, Hanabi felt that the treasures Shishou used must be very expensive, making her even more determined to keep it a secret.
After thinking for a moment, Hanabi quietly asked Shishou:
"Shishou, how much did those things cost? Can they be bought again? If the Flying Thunder God user finds out, will you be expelled?"
Although thrilled about her increased chakra, Hanabi didn't want Shishou to be expelled from the Moon Palace because of her.
Seeing Hanabi's concern, Shishou patted her head and smiled:
"Don't worry, even if our master finds out, I'll at most get scolded."
"Really?" Hanabi sighed in relief.
It seemed the Flying Thunder God user really liked Shishou.
"Alright, Hanabi, go change your clothes. I have more work to do."
"Okay, Shishou."
"If your eyes feel uncomfortable, come to me immediately."
"Okay."
After a few more reminders, Shishou left the room and headed to Kurotsuchi's room.
Hanabi, watching Shishou leave, quickly got out of the bath, still wearing her wet kimono, and returned to her room.
Elsewhere.
"Shishou, you're finally here. What are we going to train next? Sage Art? Dust Release?"
Seeing Shishou enter the room, Kurotsuchi eagerly approached, rubbing her hands together in anticipation.
She was ready to learn some powerful ninjutsu.
Shishou glanced at Kurotsuchi, preparing the medicinal bath, and said:
"Your grandfather wants me to marry you soon. What do you think?"
Kurotsuchi lifted her chin proudly, "That was my idea all along."
Hearing Kurotsuchi's shameless response, Shishou couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, get in." Shishou pointed to the bath once it was ready.
Kurotsuchi pursed her lips, blushing, "What are you planning? A romantic bath together?"
Shishou gave her a puzzled look and laughed, "I'm preparing to increase your chakra, but it seems you prefer a romantic bath."
Hearing it was to increase her chakra, Kurotsuchi's expression turned serious, "Let's handle business first."
With that, Kurotsuchi quickly stripped to her underwear and sat in the bath.
Seeing Kurotsuchi so unguarded, Shishou was momentarily stunned.
She truly considered him her man.
Seeing Shishou staring, Kurotsuchi splashed some water at him with her foot.
"Someone's mesmerized," Kurotsuchi teased.
Hearing this, Shishou laughed, then turned to lock the door.
Walking behind Kurotsuchi, Shishou said, "Don't move, I'll handle the business first."
He placed his hand on her back, infusing her with sage bloodline.
"My chakra has really increased a lot..."
Feeling the changes within her, Kurotsuchi was amazed.
Helping someone increase their chakra was something she had never seen before.
As he infused her, Shishou said, "This must remain a secret, understood?"
"Understood." Kurotsuchi nodded seriously, deciding to tell no one, not even her grandfather.
Whether due to the infusion or her thoughts about Shishou's touch, Kurotsuchi's face remained red.
After finishing the infusion, Shishou joined her in the bath.
Seeing Kurotsuchi's reaction, he decided to be more proactive.
Kurotsuchi wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, stirring the water with her movements.
