Tenseigan Eye Technique
When Neji woke up, Yichen also opened his eyes, snapping out of his reverie as he focused on comprehending Yin Release techniques.
Yichen sighed. Yin Release. Back when he wanted to learn Yin Release, the village had nothing.
Now that he has already decided on the path of Five Elements Fusion, insights related to Yin Release keep coming at him.
Yichen wondered, if he had switched to Yin Release from the moment he encountered that temple, would he have progressed much further by now?
Yichen shook his head, reminding himself that there were no "what ifs," and that he didn't have much time left; it was too late to change course now.
Having reaffirmed his resolve to pursue the Five Elements Fusion route, Yichen turned his gaze to Neji still seemed somewhat bewildered.
Yichen asked, "Neji, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Neji checked his body, then shook his head and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I'm fine."
After a pause, Neji asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, what just happened? Was that person really the Sage of Six Paths's Brother?"
Yichen nodded.
Upon Sokai was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Pointing at the blind old man's corpse, he asked Yichen, "Teacher Yichen, is this the Sage of Six Paths's Brother?"
Yichen shook his head and said, "No, this person just led us into an illusion."
"In the illusion, we met the Sage of Six Paths's Brother."
Only Sokai did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Neji asked curiously, "Lord Tsuchikage, are you really a disciple of the Sage of Six Paths?"
Yichen glanced at Neji, sighed, and did not answer the question.
He thought to himself, "Neji is still too young. If it were Chiga, she would probably have guessed I was talking nonsense as soon as I opened my mouth."
Sure enough, Yichen saw Chiga looking at him with a strange gaze.
Yichen glared at Chiga and asked, "With all the commotion we just made, did those two Hyuga Clan members make any unusual moves?"
Chiga shook her head and said, "I didn't notice anything unusual about them."
Yichen nodded and said, "Let's rest for a bit first, and then we'll go to that Artificial Sun."
Everyone nodded. Although they hadn't been in many battles along the way, there had been quite a few strange things, including Yichen fainting once. So everyone was a bit tense and needed to relax.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another major battle when we enter the Artificial Sun.
Otsutsuki Toneri is still a child, so even with that Giant Tenseigan, Yichen isn't afraid.
However, since Chiga said there was another person on the moon, Yichen had to be careful.
Yichen still needs to take a serious look at an adult who can skillfully use the Giant Tenseigan.
Soon, the basement where everyone was gathered fell silent, and everyone closed their eyes to rest.
Yichen closed his eyes and began to carefully savor the illusion created by Hamura Otsutsuki.
After a night's rest, Yichen led the five of them to the Artificial Sun early the next morning.
As Yichen led the group rapidly toward the Artificial Sun, he said, "This sun is actually a fortress. We'll just create a breach in it and storm in."
Han, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, Chiga, Neji looked at each other in bewilderment.
They couldn't understand where Yichen got his information and why he knew so much about this place.
Ignoring their expressions, Yichen continued, "Chiga, Neji, you two stay close to me and don't get lost. A big battle might break out soon."
"Chiga, report the location of those two people in your Blood Sense space at any time."
"Neji, once you enter the sun, activate your Byakugan and find the place that distorts your vision. That's where the Giant Tenseigan you saw in the illusion is located."
"We will cover your control of the Giant Tenseigan. The enemy may manipulate the Giant Tenseigan to fight us, so you need to get close to Giant Tenseigan and disrupt it."
"Han, if the enemy numbers are too many, just use the Tailed Beast Bomb. You can safely destroy what's inside; don't worry about anything."
"It can fully Tailed Beast Transformation when necessary."
"Quan Luo, once we encounter the two that Chiga has located, we'll directly absorb their eye power."
"Sokai? Forget it. You can fight alongside your Sister Izumi. You wouldn't remember the plan even if I told you."
Yichen assigned tasks to the group in detail, and then sped off towards the sun.
Yichen had been observing the movements within a radius of tens of kilometers with his using Mind's Eye, but even as the group of five approached the Artificial Sun, they did not encounter any puppet army.
It seems it hasn't been discovered yet.
Once the Artificial Sun entered Yichen's attack range, Yichen formed a cross hand gesture and softly shouted, "Light Release - Limit Splitter Jutsu!"
A beam of blue light shot out from Yichen's hand and struck the giant Artificial Sun precisely the next moment.
Boom~~
With a massive explosion, the entire Artificial Sun trembled violently.
At the same time, a burst of bright light obscured everyone's vision.
After a long time, when the aftershocks of the explosion subsided and everyone looked intently, they discovered that a huge gap had appeared on the Artificial Sun.
As Yichen led the five people forward, he carefully kept an eye out for any enemies.
Sure enough, before the crowd could get close, one after another, large bird-like flying machines shot out rapidly from the gap in the Artificial Sun.
Each aircraft carries a puppet dressed in standard uniform with bandages wrapped around its face.
As if there were no end in sight, more and more aircraft kept bursting out of the gap.
At the same time, the puppets on these aircraft extended their palms and fired beams of light at Yichen and the others.
This method is somewhat similar to the technological weapons used by the Kumogakure.
Although Yichen had expected this, he still couldn't help but frown when he saw the number. He turned to Han and said, "Launch the Tailed Beast Bomb inside."
As he spoke, Yichen quickly conjured Porcelain Release in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, Han immediately opened his mouth, condensing a black Tailed Beast Bomb. Then, he aimed it directly at the opening in the sun and shot it out.
Meanwhile, Izumi Uchiha activated the first form of Susanoo, protecting the six people.
The next moment, a blinding light shot out from the artificial sun, drawing everyone's attention.
Immediately following, a deafening explosion came from the source of the light.
After the explosion subsided, the breach that Yichen had created had become even larger.
The number of unidentified flying objects and the puppets on them that had been constantly emerging suddenly decreased significantly.
An explosion occurred inside the Artificial Sun, and the exterior of the Artificial Sun was also disturbed.
Before Han launched the Tailed Beast Bomb, many puppets had already rushed out from the breach.
The puppets' attacks struck Yichen's Porcelain Release defense, creating a series of small explosions.
The large amount of Porcelain Mud Yichen had condensed was blasted away in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, these puppets don't need to Hand Seals to launch attacks, and their attack frequency is extremely fast. Before the first wave of explosions had even ended, the second wave of attacks had already struck Yichen's mud defense.
Yichen frowned. This attack frequency was very unfavorable to him; the speed of the mud form couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.
Yichen quickly Hand Seals and shouted, "Immortal Technique - Storm Release - Rikujo Torite!"
Yichen borrowed this move from Darui in the original work, and even kept the strange name.
As Yichen finished speaking, countless beams of blue light, originating from Yichen's hands, swiftly and precisely pierced through the mud and struck the densely packed, oncoming aircraft.
The next moment, Yichen's Storm Release successfully hit these aircraft. With his Mind's Eye perception, Yichen was able to accurately locate the core components of these aircraft.
Therefore, with a single hit, these aircraft were immediately destroyed.
Then, swarms of aircraft, along with the puppets on their backs, fell to the ground like raindrops.
A single attack using the Storm Release technique resulted in the loss of one-third of the Puppet Army.
However, at this moment, Yichen's mud defense was about to be breached by the Puppet Army's attack.
Izumi Uchiha quickly activated Susanoo into its second form.
Yichen dared not stop, and pressed on, using the same Storm Release twice more, finally defeating the entire Puppet Army in front of him.
With a series of loud crashes, Yichen and the others breathed a sigh of relief as they heard the heavy objects falling from the ground.
These aircraft and puppets were originally traveling at high speeds and altitudes in the air, and most of them were smashed to pieces after crashing to the ground.
Izumi Uchiha, slightly out of breath, retracted his Susanoo.
She said with lingering fear, "The attack frequency was too high. Fortunately, the single-target attacks weren't strong enough to break through Susanoo in one go, giving me a chance to replenish my strength with my eye power."
Yichen nodded. Fortunately, Izumi Uchiha a lot of eye power; otherwise, Yichen would have had to choose a tactical retreat now.
As expected, bringing two Mangekyo Uchiha was the right decision.
In this situation, if Izumi Uchiha replaced by Ōnoki or Ikura, Yichen and his group would be in a very passive position.
Yichen hadn't expected that the Puppet Army, with its single unit type, would be so effective; he almost suffered a setback.
A few puppets were still rushing out from the gap, but they were no match for Yichen.
This puppet couldn't even withstand his Porcelain Release defense, and Yichen dealt with it easily.
Yichen immediately manipulated the Porcelain Platform beneath his feet and took the opportunity to rush into the Artificial Sun.
Yichen dared not waste too much time, because through his perception with his Mind's Eye, Yichen discovered that the aircraft and puppets that had fallen to the ground were slowly reassembling.
This is not a good sign. Yichen doesn't remember that these puppets in the original story had the characteristic of being immortal.
After entering the artificial sun, the group saw in the distance that there used to be an ancient-style castle, but now the castle had collapsed due to the explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Yichen's gaze swept quickly across the sky inside the Artificial Sun, finally locking onto two sun- and moon-shaped celestial bodies floating in the distance.
Although they are called celestial bodies, they are not very large; it would be more accurate to describe them as two large rocks.
Turning his gaze away, Yichen could clearly see various puppet components scattered around him and the others.
These were clearly caused by the recent explosion.
Looking at the puppet fragments scattered on the ground, Yichen was relieved that Han's Tailed Beast Bomb attack had come in time.
Otherwise, the Puppet Army would have been several times larger, and Yichen would have had no choice but to flee and then look for a new opportunity.
The puppet components are slowly beginning to reassemble.
Yichen used a small-scale Light Release technique on one of the puppets. The puppet instantly vaporized and did not reform this time.
Yichen thought to himself, "It seems that even the puppet's immortality has its limits."
"The damage caused by the shockwave from the Tailed Beast Bomb explosion can be regenerated using the Tenseigan Chakra. However, the vaporization of the Light Release cannot be restored."
Yichen didn't linger at the gap, but instead, guided by Chiga, quickly headed towards the center of the castle.
Clearly, as Yichen and his group approached, the people inside the castle realized what was happening.
More and more puppets rushed out of the collapsed castle.
Unlike the previous puppets mounted on single flying objects, the new puppets are now diverse, including maid-shaped, child-shaped, and all sorts of strange and wonderful machines.
However, compared to the previous Puppet Army, its numbers are significantly smaller.
Meanwhile, inside the castle, the two people that Chiga sensed were urgently being evacuated.
The two were completely unaware that Yichen and his group had secretly come to the moon.
The barrier that Yichen prepared to block out Byakugan was simply for the blind.
From the time of Hamura Otsutsuki to the present, there has never been a visitor from the Ninja World to the moon.
Therefore, the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon never paid attention to the defenses and vigilance at the Space-Time Tunnel.
After all, in their eyes, no one in the Ninja World knew that there was a group of them on the moon.
Therefore, when Yichen Light Release blast open the artificial sun, the two survivors of the Otsutsuki Clan began to panic and move away.
The ten-year-old Otsutsuki Toneri was being carried on the back of a puppet, and he looked worriedly at his father, who was also being carried on the back of a puppet beside him.
He asked, "Father, are they Descendants of the Sage of Six Paths who have come to kill us?"
Otsutsuki Toneri had no eyes; his so-called looking at his father was merely turning his face away.
Otsutsuki Toneri's father was named Otsutsuki Miune.
Otsutsuki Miune is not old, but her health is very poor. Not to mention that she is already on her deathbed, she won't live much longer if things continue as normal.
Otsutsuki Miune has Byakugan eyes, but if you look closely, you'll find that these Byakugan are quite different from those of the Hyuga Clan.
Otsutsuki Miune's Byakugan has many dark areas, clearly indicating that it is not a pure Byakugan.
He took a few deep breaths, then said, "It should be."
"Nothing's happened for so many years, but they suddenly attack now. It must be because my trip to the Ninja World recently exposed my whereabouts."
"My Toneri, it is your father who has ruined you."
Otsutsuki Toneri quickly said, "Father, it's not your fault. It's the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' fault. He created the wrong Ninja World."
Otsutsuki Miune paused for a moment, then said, "It's a pity I couldn't bring you back a pair of pure Byakugan last time."
"I thought that with another war breaking out in the Ninja World and a large number of Ninja World Hyuga Clan ninjas going to the front lines, the defenses would be lax, and I would have an opportunity."
"But I still underestimated the Hyuga Clan. Although most of the Hyuga Clan members went to the front lines, the ninjas left in the village were extremely vigilant, and I couldn't find an opportunity."
"I'm sorry, Toneri."
Otsutsuki Toneri cried and said, "Father, don't say that, it's not your fault."
Otsutsuki Miune said, "This time I will kill all the enemies, and from now on you will have to walk the path alone."
"Remember, you must go to the Ninja World and steal a pair of pure Byakugan."
"Your talent is special. As long as you have a pair of pure Byakugan, combined with the Chakra provided by the Tenseigan, you will definitely be able to awaken your own Tenseigan."
Tears streamed down Otsutsuki Toneri's empty eyes as he said, "Father, don't leave me."
"Father, you haven't taught me how to use the Tenseigan yet, and you haven't seen me grow up. You can't leave me alone."
Otsutsuki Miune smiled and said, "Toneri, although I can no longer accompany you on this journey, my belief, the belief of our entire Otsutsuki Clan, will always be with you. Have you forgotten?"
Otsutsuki Toneri wiped away his tears and said, "Father, I haven't forgotten. I will awaken the Tenseigan, and I will destroy the Ninja World."
"The Ninja World created by the Sage of Six Paths was a failure; I will restart the Ninja World."
Otsutsuki Miune smiled enigmatically and said, "That's right, Toneri, train hard. Father has entrusted the beliefs of our Otsutsuki Clan to you."
Unlike his son, Otsutsuki Miune was not naive. The so-called destruction of the Ninja World created by the Sage of Six Paths was merely a motivation he gave Otsutsuki Toneri to live on.
He knew the difficulty of Tenseigan and didn't believe that Otsutsuki Toneri could truly Tenseigan; it was all a dream he had woven for his son.
A well-intentioned lie told by a father as he prepares to leave his son.
Otherwise, it would be too painful to live alone in this lonely world.
Countless years ago, the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon did indeed successfully overthrow the Main Family's rule using this seemingly legitimate reason when they split off their branch.
But it was nothing more than a coup d'état for power and profit.
For countless years, no one in the family has taken this seriously and foolishly taken any action.
Only Otsutsuki Toneri, who had lived through his father's lies since childhood, firmly believed them to be true.
Otsutsuki Miune wanted Otsutsuki Toneri to marry and have children.
They even fabricated a lie that she would marry a Hyuga Princess, and that after destroying the world created by the Sage of Six Paths, the two of them would create a new Ninja World.
Otsutsuki Miune did this simply so that her son could have a normal family.
Seeing Otsutsuki Toneri's resolute expression, Otsutsuki Miune thought, "Fine, so be it. As long as I can live a good life, that's better than dying alone on this cold moon."
"I don't know whether the world created by the Sage of Six Paths is correct or not, but the world created by our ancestor Hamura is definitely wrong."
"Otherwise, why Toneri, a child who knows nothing, bear the sins committed by his ancestors?"
Guided by the two puppets, the father and son finally arrived outside the castle.
Otsutsuki Miune bowed down to a celestial body resembling the intertwined sun and moon floating in the sky outside the castle. Then, he cut his palm with a knife, letting the blood flow freely.
At the same time, he was muttering incantations.
As he chanted, the sun and stars in the celestial body where the sun and moon shone together began to emit extremely large Chakra fluctuations.
It turns out that this Giant Tenseigan on the moon is usually in a semi-dormant state.
Now, Otsutsuki Miune has directly awakened this Giant Tenseigan, which was in a semi-dormant state.
The next moment, Tenseigan an invisible channel, the Otsutsuki Miune transferred a large amount of Chakra.
Otsutsuki Miune was on the verge of exhaustion, suddenly became full of energy and stood up from the back of the puppet.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the ground in front of him shook violently, and a huge rock monster stood up shakily.
The rock monster was not much smaller than the Perfect Form Nine-Tails that Yichen had seen.
At this moment, Yichen and the others, guided by Chiga, barely managed to reach the attack range of the Light Release.
Seeing the Rock Golem take a step, Yichen sighed, "We're too late. This First Shinobi War is inevitable."
Perhaps because it had just been formed, the Rock Golem was still somewhat stiff, or perhaps it was the first time that Otsutsuki Miune was controlling the Rock Golem, and she was not yet proficient.
Therefore, the Rock Golem moved very slowly.
Yichen was taken aback, then made a cross with his hands and aimed it at the Rock Golem's massive body.
The next moment, Light Release: World Splitter Jutsu struck the Rock Golem directly.
Yichen blinked. He hit it so easily? Doesn't this big guy know how to dodge?
The man standing next to Yichen also said in surprise, "Lord Tsuchikage, this Rock Golem seems to lack combat experience."
Izumi Uchiha said, "It's probably because the master controlling him lacks combat experience."
After being struck by the Light Release, a large hole exploded in the Rock Golem's chest and abdomen, and its entire body collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.
However, like the previous golems, this Rock Golem possesses the characteristic of being immortal.
His chest and abdomen, which had been vaporized by the Light Release Tenseigan, were quickly filled with the Chakra, and he stood up again.
It was only because Otsutsuki Miune used all of her Tenseigan Chakra on the Rock Golem that the puppets that Yichen and the others had previously dealt with suddenly stopped regenerating.
Yichen didn't stop; he used a Light Release on the Rock Golem again.
This time, Yichen struck him on the head, and the Iwa ninja Giant, who hadn't fully regained his footing, fell down again.
While Yichen held off the Rock Golem, Han directly chose to Tailed Beast Transformation. The fully-formed Five-Tails Kokuō, Kokuo, appeared and sat down on the Rock Golem.
The Five-Tails' power was not great, and its size was smaller than that of the Rock Golem, so Kokuō's tactic was to use its highly corrosive Chakra to corrode the Rock Golem.
The goal was to keep the Rock Golem injured, thus distracting Otsutsuki Miune.
Behind the Rock Golem, Otsutsuki Miune watched as her powerful attack, which she had barely managed to unleash with her Giant Tenseigan, was easily countered by Yichen and the others.
He couldn't help but feel anxious. The newcomer was so strong? He couldn't hold on for long in his current state.
So he gritted his teeth and communicated with the Giant Tenseigan again, this time summoning a Golden Greatsword.
While not as devastating as Otsutsuki Toneri in the original story, it was still enough to deal with Kokuō.
Overburdened, Otsutsuki Miune coughed up blood as she swung her Golden Greatsword at the Five-Tails Kokuō.
Upon seeing this, Sokai and Quan Luo beside Yichen, immediately stepped forward and each unleashed their Susanoo to meet the Golden Greatsword.
It Susanoo Sokai the second form of Susanoo of Izumi Uchiha to barely block the Golden Greatsword.
Moreover, seeing the two Susanoo being pushed back by the Golden Greatsword, Yichen knew that Sokai and Izumi Uchiha wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Yichen wasn't idle either. He was creating large amounts of Porcelain Mud to seal the Iwa ninja giant, which was still struggling violently and was being suppressed by Kokuō, little by little.
Yichen aimed at Otsutsuki Miune, who was wielding the Golden Greatsword, and unleashed several Light Release in succession.
Otsutsuki Miune naturally saw Yichen's actions as well; he had witnessed the power of Light Release.
He could even break through a rock giant, so naturally he didn't dare to take it head-on. He grabbed Otsutsuki Toneri with one arm and then activated the Tenseigan eye technique - Wheel of Fortune.
The effect of the Wheel Rotation Like Intent is similar to that of Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in; it is Ninjutsu that manipulates gravity.
However, Otsutsuki Miune used all her Chakra to deal with Kokuō and the two Susanoo.
Therefore, even with a Reincarnation Eye technique like the Wheel of Fortune, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to deal with the Light Escape.
Therefore, Otsutsuki Miune is using the Wheel Rotation Like Intent on himself.
He repeatedly launched himself into the air, flying wildly, in order to evade Yichen's attacks.
Yichen raised an eyebrow. This strategy was very similar to the evasion maneuvers he had developed by combining Takuya's Movement Technique.
However, the Otsutsuki Miune was made too crudely.
Yichen did a quick calculation in his mind, and the next moment, he used two consecutive Light Release to leave his body.
As expected, Otsutsuki Miune dodged the first one just as Yichen had predicted, and then very accurately crashed into the second one.
"How could this be?" Otsutsuki Miune looked incredulous.
He simply assumed that Yichen missed his second attack because the second one wasn't aimed at him, and ignored it.
Unexpectedly, in order to avoid the first attack, he ended up running into the second Light Release.
"Father, Father, what's wrong?" Otsutsuki Toneri seemed to sense that Otsutsuki Miune was injured, and he quickly called out.
The lower half of Otsutsuki Miune had already been vaporized by Yichen's Light Release.
He's only clinging to life thanks to Tenseigan Chakra, which is why he hasn't died immediately.
Otsutsuki Miune reached out and patted Otsutsuki Toneri's head, saying, "Toneri, we lost. Shall we go with Father?"
Otsutsuki Toneri was taken aback at first, then nodded and said, "Yes, Toneri is willing to follow Father forever."
