After exiting Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Toneri staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
At that moment, not only were the muscles in his limbs damaged, but even his internal organs ached faintly.
Worse still, his head felt like it was splitting apart!
The severity of these aftereffects had clearly exceeded Toneri's expectations.
But only this was normal.
Otherwise, if a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly gained the Tenseigan's power for three minutes out of nowhere, yet suffered only mild aftereffects, how could anyone else possibly live with that?
Toneri would not even need to be so obsessed with awakening the Tenseigan.
This was the price of gaining power.
The more one gained, the more one had to pay.
That was balance!
However, since Naruto and Sasuke were still standing not far in front of him, Toneri forced himself to avoid revealing any weakness.
Fortunately, Toneri's final attack before leaving Tenseigan Chakra Mode had summoned a meteor, shifting Naruto and Sasuke's attention toward it and making them overlook his current condition.
Falling Star was the name of Toneri's final attack.
The meteor Toneri had summoned was aimed directly at Konoha.
If it struck, Konoha would undoubtedly vanish from the Ninja World's map.
It could be said that Toneri was gambling now.
After all, he was still inside Konoha as well.
If the meteor came down, he would be buried alongside Konoha.
However, Toneri had played a little trick when using Falling Star.
The meteor's descent was clearly abnormally slow.
That was because Toneri had deliberately controlled its speed, giving the people of Konoha—or rather, Naruto and Sasuke before him—time to react.
Only by using this meteor to restrain most of Konoha's forces could Toneri escape back to the moon!
"Damn it, Otsutsuki Toneri! You summoned that meteor?"
Though it was phrased
