Chapter 78: Takamagahara
First, let's introduce the Jōgan. The related settings for the Jōgan come from the official anime original storyline; it hasn't been explained in the Boruto manga yet.
The Jōgan is a mutation of the Byakugan, possessing the Byakugan's basic abilities and also having abilities related to space-time.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri spoke to Boruto Uzumaki in a dream, revealing the name "Jōgan" and calling it the eye of hope and the eye of destiny.
When Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was capturing the One-Tail in the desert, he fought with Boruto Uzumaki and the others who came to support. He recognized Boruto's special eye as the Jōgan and said, "You have the Jōgan? This is troublesome!" From this, it can be seen that the Ōtsutsuki clan has information about the Jōgan, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was very wary of the Jōgan's abilities or the fighting power of its wielder.

Another dimension, inside the Ōtsutsuki ruins belonging to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Kiyoshi's figure quietly appeared with a ripple in space.
"This is...???" Kiyoshi looked quite disheveled, shaking his head vigorously, trying to shake off the dizzy feeling. This was his first time experiencing space-time teleportation, and he was still not used to it, feeling groggy as if he had drunk fake alcohol.
The Jōgan he had just awakened had limited dōjutsu power after all. If he were teleporting within the ninja world, the consumption of dōjutsu power might still be bearable, but Kiyoshi had directly teleported himself to a distant other dimension, and his dōjutsu power was directly consumed by more than half. Kiyoshi, who hadn't yet mastered the Jōgan, was forced to temporarily close it.
After a moment, Kiyoshi shook off the discomfort and began to carefully observe his surroundings. He needed to determine where he had been teleported by the dōjutsu called "Takamagahara" contained in his right eye, and whether there were any potential threats in this space.
The entire other dimension was permeated by a layer of mysterious light, flickering dimly, as if silently telling some stories.
Kiyoshi looked around, his gaze falling on the towering walls. He was surprised to find that the walls were covered in strange runes, which exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.
Kiyoshi quickly recognized in his memory what this place was. It was the other dimension that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki used to house the Ten-Tails sapling he had brought from his clan!
Kiyoshi, who had already subconsciously used "Takamagahara" once, quickly understood the effect of his right eye's dōjutsu.
The dōjutsu "Takamagahara" inherited the effect of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Black Eye dōjutsu "Daikokuten." Not only could it teleport people or objects to a time-stopped other dimension connected to the eye and instantly summon the people or objects in the space again at any time, but it also combined the space-time abilities inherent in the Jōgan itself on the basis of the dōjutsu "Daikokuten," deriving the ability to teleport arbitrarily to locations marked with dōjutsu power by using the Takamagahara space, which had the effect of time stop, for positioning.
Yes, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Daikokuten space had now become Kiyoshi's Takamagahara space.
(Takamagahara's first appearance in Japanese mythology is as the birthplace of the primordial three pillar gods at the beginning of heaven and earth, with a very high status. The "Kojiki" records that when heaven and earth first began, one god appeared in Takamagahara, whose name was Ame-no-Minaka-nushi-no-Kami, followed by Takamimusubi-no-Kami, and then Kamimusubi-no-Kami. Later, after Amaterasu Ōmikami, one of the three noble children, was born, she ruled Takamagahara.)
And this other dimension belonging to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was filled with Isshiki's Chakra aura everywhere. This was the reason why Kiyoshi subconsciously used the dōjutsu and was teleported to this space.
At this moment, a huge sound attracted Kiyoshi's attention. Walking closer, he saw a giant beast imprisoned in the shadows of the ruins. Its size was roughly the same as the complete Six-Tails. It had jagged thorns growing on its back, a huge single eye showing the form of the Rinnegan, and ten tails growing behind it. It was Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Ten-Tails sapling.
Kiyoshi looked at the Ten-Tails in front of him, a smile appearing on his face. He had finally obtained the most important legacy left by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Coming close to the Ten-Tails, looking at the imprisoned sapling Ten-Tails, Kiyoshi's body suddenly began to tremble inexplicably. He felt a strong desire surge into his heart. This desire came from the Ten-Tails' Chakra, as if it were an instinctive reaction of his bloodline.
Kiyoshi learned from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's method in his memory and began to try to absorb a small amount of the Ten-Tails' Chakra.
It was only a very small trace of the Ten-Tails' Chakra, but after entering Kiyoshi's body, it immediately began to fuse and combine with Kiyoshi's own Chakra.
Before this, Kiyoshi's Chakra had passed the initial rapid growth period and had gradually entered a slow and steady growth stage. However, at this moment, this growth trend changed again, showing an astonishing surge once more! As if a gunpowder keg had been ignited, the Chakra in Kiyoshi's body surged like a volcanic eruption. Kiyoshi's Chakra reserves climbed at a breathtaking speed.
At the same time, the dōjutsu power contained within the Jōgan was also rapidly recovering at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it replenished the previous consumption, and then like his Chakra, it also began to grow rapidly like a rocket.
The growth rate of this dōjutsu power was not inferior to the rate of increase in Chakra. The dōjutsu power and Chakra resonated with each other, further accelerating the speed of improvement. In this change that could be called an unexpected encounter, Kiyoshi could clearly feel his strength continuously growing stronger, as if endless power was constantly Emerging.
