The Moon, Split in Two!

"And your beliefs are actually the same as mine..."

Uchiha Yoru's voice was deep and cold, rising silently as if from the shadows, and landing coldly in Toneri's ears.

"Unfortunately, you were ultimately just a pawn."

Otsutsuki Toneri frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. At that moment, he seemed to sense some kind of unspeakable irony.

Uchiha Yoru walked with leisurely steps, as if treading on empty air, his voice growing clearer, carrying an undisguised sharpness:

"The Sage of Six Paths, do you think he's a 'savior'?"

But did you know that the person he and his brother sealed away was actually their own mother?

He raised his head, the light in his Rinne-Tenseigan, a light like a blade tearing through darkness, each word seemingly cleaving through the void:

What right does a son who betrays his mother have to talk about 'peace'?

A flicker of hesitation crossed Toneri's eyes. In that instant, he felt as if he had been struck by an unspeakable taboo, and a surge of pain welled up in his heart, as if some hidden rift had been revealed, shaking him to the point that he almost lost himself.

"The so-called 'spreading Chakra's is nothing more than scattering power throughout the Ninja World, allowing hatred to flourish; the so-called 'educating the masses' is actually shirking responsibility and leaving it to future generations, letting the world endlessly cycle through hypocrisy and conflict."

Uchiha Yoru's laughter was like a sharp blade, cold and mocking, carrying an unconcealable depth.

"You, Otsutsuki Toneri, are nothing more than a pawn he deliberately left behind."

"Your so-called 'mission' and 'protection' were destined from the very beginning to be the flawed ideology of that false god."

He stopped in his tracks, his gaze like a cold arrow, looking down at the Toneri.

"That's why I say—we are of the same origin, both having seen through the absurdity of this Ninja World. However, I am no longer bound by the will of that 'old god'."

"And you... are nothing but a pathetic wretch who has been controlled."

--A chess piece? Him?

A moment of confusion flashed through my mind, only to be crushed and swallowed up by a heavy will.

A whisper resounded quietly from the depths of his consciousness, ancient and majestic, yet irresistible—

"Abandon your emotions... and you will be a vessel of order."

His eyes sharpened, and he instantly regained his composure. That brief moment of wavering was like a candle flickering in the wind, already suppressed by that invisible spiritual power.

Toneri strode forward, his figure as sharp as a knife, his white robes spotless, his silver eyes like mirrors, calmly and vacantly sweeping over the wailing clansmen around him.

His father was kneeling on the ground, blood spilling from his mouth.

The Toneri merely glanced at it, his eyes as still as water, as if he were looking at an abandoned ritual vessel.

He stood still, his tone cold and detached, like a god driven by a program, emanating an unquestionable command:

"Shared ideals? No... you're wrong."

"You are chasing order, but I am order itself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Toneri's Tenseigan opened fully, and the Chakra within poured out like a tidal wave!

He slowly raised his hand, as if in response, yet also as if in submission:

"From this day forward, the future of the Ninja World... will no longer be decided by you."

Otsutsuki Toneri's eyes were sharp, his tone leaving no room for doubt, as if issuing a final declaration. Then, his silver-white Chakra poured out like a cold moon, erupting with a thunderous roar!

The heavens and earth lost their color, and the moon's surface cracked.

The Toneri stood suspended in the void, his Tenseigan filled with the turbulent world, the Yang Power surging like a tidal wave.

He spun his left palm in front of his chest, and the power of his Tenseigan surged out wildly, a beam of devouring light twisting in his palm.

"--Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

The gravitational field instantly tore through space, transforming into a raging Chakra storm that roared in, shattering the void and disrupting gravity wherever it passed, even tearing up large sections of the earth's crust!

However, Uchiha Yoru merely glanced at him indifferently, his clothes remaining still, and flicked his finger lightly.

Space suddenly froze, the entire storm seemed to be frozen in place, then compressed in place, the force field reversed, and it collapsed with a bang at the center of the virtual point, finally turning into nothingness.

"... Is it still not working?"

Toneri stared at this shocking scene, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing between his brows.

"Since that's the case—"

He gritted his teeth, his gaze suddenly sharpened, his eyes flashed blood red, and the Chakra contained in his Tenseigan exploded like thunder, his mind almost overwhelming everything.

"Tenseigan: Celestial Body Detonation Array!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruins around the moon, the shattered starry sky, and dozens of silent natural meteorites were all drawn towards him by an invisible gravitational field almost simultaneously, like a galaxy flowing backwards!

He fused these meteorites with the Truth-Seeking Orb, compressed and rotated them, and the energy surged, eventually condensing into a "God Meteor" with a diameter of several thousand meters. The pitch-black meteorite burned with silver light and emitted a deafening roar. The terrifying pressure caused the earth to disintegrate, and its momentum was as if it would tear the entire moon apart.

Despite facing this devastating attack, Uchiha Yoru showed no panic. His Six Paths Chakra flowed instantly, Sage Marks appeared all over his body, and the six hybrid Truth-Seeking Orb behind him shimmered with blue-purple light.

He stepped into the void, spread his arms, and instantly created an interweaving of gravitational and repulsive fields. Senjutsu Chakra flowed within his body, and the Chakra power of the Rinne-Tenseigan.

Isn't it just a nesting doll?

He can too!

"Firmament Reincarnation Explosion!!!"

In that instant, the purple light, like a sword, transformed into a massive divine halo, carrying unparalleled power, sweeping forward!

The giant wheel's brilliance was like the sharpest blade between heaven and earth, cleaving through the void and tearing apart gravity, instantly splitting the "God Meteor" summoned by the Toneri in two!

As if defying the heavens, the powerful shockwave dimmed the surrounding stars.

Boom--!!!

The meteorite exploded upon impact, resembling a shattered celestial body, with thousands upon thousands of fragments falling like stars, covering the sky and the earth!

These fragments collided violently high in the sky, bursting forth with dazzling light, as if the entire universe was shaking.

The enormous, silver-blue wheel, its power undiminished, cleaved through the air with earth-shattering force, tearing apart the moon's surface!

The entire surface of the moon was instantly cracked open by this immense force. Huge cracks spread like blood vessels to the lunar core. Accompanied by a piercing sound, rocks flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and space trembled as if it had been torn apart.

Intense energy fluctuations swept in all directions, uprooting the surrounding mountains and soil, and the shockwaves spread like ocean waves, changing the very fabric of the world!

The moon's gravity became violently unbalanced, like a torn star. The entire celestial body began to disintegrate under this blow, and the cracks continued to expand, as if the entire world's operation had been severed in that instant.

The aftershocks of the giant sword swept around like a storm, shaking the air and even causing the void to tremble.

Then--

The moon has completely cracked open!
