The deadly trap sprung, Star Release erupted

Moon Base, Reincarnation Chamber.

"Wow, this is the palace you built!" Running back and forth with her big pregnant belly, the meaning of the word "princess" was nowhere to be found in Mito.

"... It's a building of the Moon Clan. By the way, could you please slow down a bit?" Kyosuke sighed softly, a wry smile on his face.

He now has serious doubts about whether he and his wife can play the role of parents well.

Since before the Lunar New Year, news has been circulating that there has been unrest at the Moon Base.

Even the formidable ninjas of the Kyosuke Legion failed to capture him on multiple occasions, allowing the enemy to take the opportunity to slaughter many of the moon's inhabitants.

Even though Commander Izumi personally intervened, he ended up severely injured and on the verge of death. As a last resort, Kyosuke had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Hearing that he was going to the moon, the Ponytail kept clamoring to come along for a stroll.

They ostensibly wanted to see if Kyosuke was keeping a mistress on the moon.

Actually, she was just bored at home and wanted to go outside for a walk.

Considering it wasn't safe to leave her home alone, Kyosuke simply agreed, to save the girl from nagging him all day long.

After strolling around the enormous palace for a while, Maya quickly presented him with the latest report on the attackers.

He glanced through the report casually and found nothing particularly noteworthy; in short, the identity, strength, and age remained unknown.

The only commendable thing is that the tribesmen located the enemy's area.

Although the coverage area is quite large, with him there, the search is not too difficult.

"You stay with her, I'll be right back." With that, Kyosuke vanished into the vast, boundless Forest.

The Moon Clan is small in number, resulting in most of the Moon Planet remaining underdeveloped.

It can be said that the vegetation here is in no way inferior to that of the Land of Fire, except that it is rare to see any living creatures.

"Then let me see your true face." He gently touched the ground with two fingers together. Thanks to the enhancement of his Intermediate Sage Body, his perception was in no way inferior to that of Senju and Uzumaki.

In just ten seconds, Kyosuke pinpointed a location several kilometers away where unusual energy fluctuations were occurring.

With a few quick Body Flicker Technique, he arrived at his destination, only to find a huge Cave in front of him.

"What's going on? All you do is show Cave and Altar all day long. Can't you come up with something new?" Kyosuke scoffed, deciding to send a Shadow Clone to investigate.

The moon is not like the Shinobi World; who knows what tricks Ōtsutsuki Hamura left behind?

It's always best to be cautious in everything you do.

As it turned out, his choice was absolutely correct.

The clone had barely entered when the entire Cave was reduced to dust in a deafening roar.

According to the memories transmitted back by its clone, it couldn't even use Space-Time and died instantly in the violent explosion.

Now that things have come to this, Kyosuke is perfectly clear about the situation.

There was no mysterious attacker from beginning to end; the whole thing was a conspiracy set up against him.

"... I can't think of anyone else but Black Zetsu." With a sigh, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings.

Having confirmed that everything was alright with Mito, Kyosuke breathed a slight sigh of relief and slowly looked up at the large white bird circling in the sky.

What he saw surprised him somewhat.

That large white bird seemed to perfectly match an image from my memory.

"This looks like... explosive clay?!"

He never expected that he would encounter a user of the Explosion Release on the moon.

"Another idiot bewitched by Black Zetsu." Just as Kyosuke was about to make a move, a shooting star suddenly streaked across the distant sky.

He jumped from the rear, easily avoiding the oncoming attack.

Only after the Sharingan was activated did they realize that what had just happened was not a shooting star, but a Masked Man completely enveloped in silver radiance.

"A strange ability." Kyosuke frowned slightly and drew his weapon from his black cloak.

A Hexagram Barrier suddenly appeared on the Open Ground in front of him.

Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he knew that it must be some kind of strange Space–Time Barrier.

"That's true. These two alone are definitely not enough to deal with me." Kyosuke a little curious about who could give Black Zetsu the confidence to make a move.

The answer will soon be revealed.

Accompanied by soft footsteps, a familiar figure slowly appeared within the Hexagram.

The newcomer was none other than Hyuga Tennin, the possessor of the Tenseigan.

"I didn't expect it to be you." Kyosuke frowned in confusion and asked, "Why is the Tennin Clan Leader acting this way?"

The fact that the other party dared to make a move indicates that they must have a certain degree of confidence.

Under certain peculiar mental states, one might unintentionally reveal useful information.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Tennin was cunning and had no intention of talking to him any further.

"The moon was created by my ancestors, and you forcibly seized it. I'm here today to demand an explanation." Tennin's excuse was flawless.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke disregarded the motive and instead inquired about the Hexagram he had just seen, "Demanding an explanation is fine, but what I'm curious about is when the Tennin Clan Leader acquired the ability to manipulate Space-Time."

"You mean it?" Hyuga Tennin gave a perfectly reasonable answer, lightly stamping his foot. "Would you believe me if I said it has nothing to do with me?"

So that was Black Zetsu's doing... Kyosuke nodded, having roughly figured out what had happened.

Whoosh whoosh!

Just then, a whooshing sound came from above.

Shrug helplessly, Kyosuke shook his head and chuckled, "These guys really have no manners."

"Indeed, he deserves to die." Hyuga Tennin nodded in agreement, clearly showing that he personally did not have a good impression of Black Zetsu.

"I'll come back to catch up with the Tennin Clan Leader Chief after I've slaughtered them."

"Please make yourself at home."

I don't know if he's genuinely stupid or if he has absolute confidence in his abilities.

After replying with one sentence, he actually walked to the side and waited quietly.

Seeing this, Kyosuke stopped paying attention to him, released the Cursed Seal, and instantly entered Sage Mode. The transparent snake shadow transformed into wings, carrying him swiftly into the sky.

"Oh, right, I forgot to remind you," Hyuga Tennin's voice drifted over, "Although I don't particularly like them, if you're too careless, you might not even get to face me."

Before he could finish speaking, the man below had already arrived beside Kyosuke.

Between the outstretched palms, it seemed as if countless stars were gathering, eventually forming a terrifying power akin to the destruction of a star.

Star Release: Dimensional Starburst!

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave, far stronger than the Tailed Beast Bomb, instantly engulfed Kyosuke's figure.

Even the clouds in the sky were split in two, which shows just how terrifying the power of this move is.

"That was a truly formidable attack." Hyuga Tennin remained expressionless, as if nothing could disturb his mind.
