Hikari’s goal was simple: refine her body into a weapon.
By merging the Byakugan’s perception with the Shikotsumyaku’s bone manipulation, she’d unlocked an ability she called "Absolute Physique Control"—a power that defied human biological limits. Now, armed with f...

“Captain, Kaguya Hikari has left the village.”

Location: Kirigakure’s Main Gate
Under the watchful eyes of the ANBU—led by Mist Crow and Blood Hound—and Kaguya’s four-man squad, a silver-haired girl stood at the center of attention. Her right hand gripped a blind cane, while her left was stained with blood. A hood shadowe...

Dawn.
Hazy clouds clung to Kirigakure’s mountain peaks.
Walking through the village streets, Hikari felt as if she were drifting through the sky—her vision blurred, like looking through fogged-up glasses with a weak prescription.

Kiri’s Twilight.
Kaguya Hikari tilted her head back, her deep blue umbrella hanging loosely from her grip.
The sky was a murky, indecipherable gray.
Humid air thickened into oppressive black clouds, hanging low and heavy. Thunder rumbled ominously, a promise of the down...

The Gates of Kirigakure
