The entire Ninja World sensed it.
Itachi felt his Tenseigan open on its own!
Flames burned over his body, and crimson light surged out uncontrollably.
Neji was in exactly the same state.
Azure flames poured from every pore of his body, and his Byakugan transformed into the Tenseigan in an instant!
"This is..."
Neji's voice tightened. "Teacher's evolution has affected us! Facing Teacher, I actually feel an urge I can't resist—to kneel!"
Before, when he faced Uchiha Akira, his heart had been filled with respect.
But now, facing Uchiha Akira—
It was as if an inferior faced a superior, as if a flood dragon faced a true dragon. His body trembled, and psychologically, he felt submission toward one above him!
He tilted his head up.
The Tenseigan reflected the figure wrapped in golden light in midair.
The curtain of light from the Gate of Evolution slowly closed behind Uchiha Akira, and the runes on the doorframe lit one by one to their limit, like a blaze burning through the firmament. Uchiha Akira stepped out, his entire body radiating golden light.
In an instant, he appeared behind the two Otsutsuki!
"No, don't kill me!"
One Otsutsuki's legs went weak, his golden Rinnegan filled with terror.
He staggered two steps back, his back slamming into the collapsed rock wall as rubble came clattering down from above.
Uchiha Akira stood in midair, the curtain of light from the Gate of Evolution slowly closing behind him. Golden light radiated from his entire body, dazzling and resplendent; like a god, his true face could not be seen!
He lowered his head and glanced at that Otsutsuki.
"From the moment you invaded the Ninja World, there was never any possibility that you would live."
His voice was very calm, as if he were describing the weather.
