As for Uchiha Jun's Yamata no Orochi, although dozens of its heads were severed in succession, those heads were able to regenerate in a short time each time and rejoin the attack sequence!
They're in almost the same shape as when the war started!
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..."
Ōtsutsuki Hamura muttered to himself, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes for the first time.
He recalled a long, long time ago, when he and his brother fought side by side against their mother.
At that time, my mother's Chakra was as vast as the ocean, seemingly inexhaustible.
The frequency and power of her attacks once drove him and his brother to despair.
At this moment, the feeling he got from Uchiha Jun was somewhat similar to that of his mother from back then—
No, that's not right.
Uchiha Jun's Chakra reserves were far less than his mother's. However, his uncanny Chakra recovery speed was something Ōtsutsuki Hamura had never heard of before!
In ordinary ninja battles, Chakra only decreases as it is used, and the rate of recovery cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.
Even someone as powerful as the Six Paths doesn't have unlimited Chakra, and as the battle progresses, his stamina will inevitably decline!
But Uchiha Jun--
His Chakra seemed to be at its peak forever, as if all the Natural Energy in the air was actively flowing towards him to replenish his energy!
The number of people who paid out was less than the number who returned!
Besides that, what surprised Ōtsutsuki Hamura the Uchiha Jun's terrifying energy!
Despite such intense fighting, there was absolutely no sign of his performance declining!
"What kind of monster is this...?"
At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Hamura had completely lost his previous composure.
He gritted his teeth, channeled all his remaining Chakra into the Hamura Stone Statue, and launched a final desperate attack.
" Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion - Maximum Output!"
boom--!
A golden Light Sword, larger and more refined than before, materialized in the hand of the Hamura Stone Statue.
The Light Sword emitted a blinding light, enveloping the entire lunar surface in a golden glow!
"With this sword, I'll stake all my Chakra; I will definitely cut you in two!"
Uchiha Jun stared at the enormous Light Sword, and all eight snake heads simultaneously opened their mouths.
"Bet all your Chakra?"
"Then you've lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two fire-powered snake heads simultaneously opened their gaping mouths, revealing something deep in their throats—
" Five Elements Canopy - Modify Yin and Yang!"
This time, instead of two Five Elements Bullet, two Five Elements Canopy simultaneously condensed in the snake's mouth!
Furthermore, this time, the Five Elements Canopy has added something new to the original system—
Yin and Yang!
After this period of accumulation, the energy contained in these two Five Elements Canopy is more than twice as strong as the previous one!
One black, one white.
The two-colored canopy slowly rotated within the snake's mouth, emanating a chilling aura!
"Impossible... You still have energy left?" Ōtsutsuki Hamura's face turned deathly pale.
"Surplus power?"
Uchiha Jun's voice was laced with sarcasm.
"I haven't even used my full strength yet!"
suck------
The golden Light Sword and the Five Elements Canopy collided with a deafening roar above the lunar surface!
There was no sound.
Only light.
An extremely blinding white light, seemingly capable of devouring everything, instantly engulfed the entire surface of the moon!
The light was so intense that even from Earth, far away, one could see that this side of the moon had lit up with a blinding point of light for a fleeting moment!
Then came the long-awaited shockwave—
Rumble--!!!
The violent energy shockwave, carrying destructive power, blasted a massive crater several kilometers in diameter into the lunar surface! Debris flew in all directions like meteors, carving deep furrows into the lunar surface!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura hovered in the center of the pit, his body trembling slightly.
He used all his Chakra to unleash the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, which indeed shattered one of the Five Elements Canopy.
But another one--
It pierced through his defenses and slammed into the chest of the Hamura Stone Statue!
At this moment, the Hamura Stone Statue had completely collapsed, turning into a pile of scattered boulders.
Meanwhile, Ōtsutsuki Hamura —or rather, Ōtsutsuki Hamura who was possessing Ōtsutsuki Kuru —his body had begun to show signs of collapse.
"You... what kind of monster are you...?"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's voice was hoarse and tinged with weakness.
He couldn't understand why someone who wasn't of the Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline possessed such immense power!
Are Senjutsu really that terrifying?
His Chakra was almost depleted.
In his possessed state, he was already unable to unleash his full power, and the Five Elements Canopy he had taken inside the Giant Tenseigan Temple had further depleted his Chakra.
At this moment, faced with Uchiha Jun's almost insane "Western-style fighting," he had completely exhausted the "lifespan" of this body.
"You can think about this problem slowly inside the seal."
Uchiha Jun stretched out his hand, and two beams of light from the Five Elements Canopy condensed in his palm.
Goodbye, Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
"How frail you are. I'll probably forget you soon."
" Five Elements Canopy - Sealing!"
Two canopies descended from the sky like two waterfalls, completely enveloping Ōtsutsuki Hamura's body!
"No--!"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura let out a roar of unwilling anger, but his body was rapidly shrinking and condensing under the influence of the two sealing forces, eventually turning into a completely black sealing sphere, which landed in Uchiha Jun's hand.
Uchiha Jun took the sealing ball and glanced down at it.
"Done."
He exhaled a long breath, and the intense Sage Transformation state slowly dissipated. The form of the black and gold Yamata no Orochi also vanished, and he returned to human form.
But at the very moment the Sage Transformation was lifted—
Uchiha Jun's body swayed suddenly, and he knelt on one knee.
"Cough..."
A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and the corners of his eyes.
Uchiha Jun looked down at his trembling hands, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
"As expected... it's still a bit of a stretch."
In the battle just now, Uchiha Jun appeared to be relaxed, but in reality, he needed to mobilize his energy to control his body with each move.
High-intensity mobilization of massive amounts of Senjutsu Chakra, maintenance of the Black Gold Yamata no Orochi, and continuous charging of the Five Elements Canopy --
These are far too much of a burden for a twelve or thirteen-year-old's body.
If it weren't for the support of the system template and his long-term use of Compound No. 1, which already far surpassed that of ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
Of course, this body, which Uchiha Jun had carefully modified, could quickly return to its peak condition once it was out of combat, with the help of Senjutsu Chakra.
"But..."
Uchiha Jun stood up, put the sealing sphere containing Ōtsutsuki Hamura into his pocket, and looked up at the Giant Tenseigan floating in the core of the moon.
"Finally, we've taken care of that old guy."
"Brush--"
The desolate, lifeless surface of the moon receded rapidly beneath Uchiha Jun's feet.
Uchiha Jun through the crater that had been leveled by the aftershocks of the battle, stretching for over ten kilometers.
Ahead, an ancient stone temple stands majestically.
The temple's dome was ripped off by a terrifying force, revealing the enormous sphere of light floating in mid-air inside— the Giant Tenseigan.
Uchiha Jun's gaze fell on the temple standing in the shadow of the crater in the distance.
There, there was a huge sphere that emitted a pale golden light—
--Giant Tenseigan.
"What... mesmerizing eyes."
Uchiha Jun murmured to himself, and in a flash, he appeared at the entrance of the temple.
Inside the temple, various sophisticated instruments had already been moved in. A dense network of cables extended from the base of the Giant Tenseigan, connecting to dozens of Chakra fluctuation detectors, pupil power spectrum analyzers, and gene sequence scanning devices.
Hiruko standing in front of a huge instrument, his hands moving rapidly across the panel, the screen displaying a dense stream of data.
Orochimaru stood to the side, sticking out his tongue and gently licking the pale golden aura emanating from the Giant Tenseigan.
"How does it taste?" Uchiha Jun asked casually.
During his time working with Uchiha Jun, Orochimaru made remarkable progress. Now, he has even transformed his body into a sophisticated biological instrument, allowing him to understand various characteristics of Chakra through absorption.
"Hmm..." Orochimaru retracted his tongue, a glint of excitement flashing in his snake-like eyes.
"The scent of Chakra is incredibly pure, almost entirely free of impurities, and it also carries a... well, how should I put it, a very ancient aura."
Orochimaru pulled a report from the lab table and handed it over.
"These are the preliminary test results from Hiruko and me. At the same time, I also had all the records related to this Giant Tenseigan retrieved from the libraries of both the branch family and the Main Family."
Uchiha Jun took the report and walked towards the center of the temple while flipping through it.
"The formation principle of the Giant Tenseigan can now be basically determined."
Orochimaru followed behind him, his tone filled with the excitement typical of a researcher, "Simply put, it's an aggregation of a large amount of Byakugan power. Of course, it's not a simple superposition, but rather a fusion of all Byakugan power into a single entity through a specific resonance frequency."
He held up one finger and drew a circle in the air.
" The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan has extremely stable ocular power characteristics and a very high degree of compatibility between its members. When a sufficient number of Byakugan energies resonate and fuse under specific conditions, a qualitative change occurs, condensing into this Giant Tenseigan."
Uchiha Jun turned to the last page of the report, his gaze falling on the conclusion.
"To put it bluntly, it's all about large portions and unlimited food?"
"Haha, that's a very apt description," Orochimaru chuckled.
"However, strictly speaking, it's a bit more complex than that. The Giant Tenseigan is not just an aggregation of ocular power; it has formed an independent Chakra circulation system that can autonomously absorb Natural Energy to maintain its operation. At the same time, it can also act as a transfer station, providing the user with a continuous supply of Chakra and ocular power."
As Uchiha Jun reported, images of his battle with Ōtsutsuki Hamura flashed through his mind.
That old man's body was clearly at its last gasp.
Although Ōtsutsuki Hamura's Chakra barely managed to keep Ōtsutsuki Kuru's body from being destroyed, it was ultimately like a rootless duckweed, unable to sustain a high-intensity battle.
But the truth is, despite fighting him for so long, Ōtsutsuki Hamura's Chakra and ocular power never showed any signs of running out.
The reason lies in this Giant Tenseigan.
During the battle, the Giant Tenseigan acted like a hardware cheat, continuously providing Chakra to Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
The body of Ōtsutsuki Kuru Ōtsutsuki Hamura, was exhausted and its output power could not compare to the output efficiency of Uchiha Jun's Black Gold Yamata no Orochi.
"This thing..." Uchiha Jun looked up at the huge sphere emitting a pale golden light, "Is like an external cheat code."
"A very apt metaphor." Orochimaru licked his lips.
"Having it is equivalent to having an inexhaustible reserve of Chakra and ocular power. Moreover, according to my speculation, this Giant Tenseigan also has the ability to control the moon."
A glint of light flashed in Uchiha Jun's eyes.
"Interesting."
Uchiha Jun walked up to the Giant Tenseigan, reached out his hand, and gently pressed it against its surface.
A warm, smooth sensation came over me, like touching warm jade.
At the same time, he could clearly feel a massive power of vision slowly flowing inside the sphere, like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant.
"So..." Uchiha Jun withdrew his hand, turned to Orochimaru, and asked, "Is there any progress on the Giant Mangekyo plan?"
Orochimaru's expression froze slightly.
He was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head.
"It's difficult."
What makes it difficult?
"Frequency." Orochimaru held up one finger.
"While the Sharingan and Byakugan are both among the three great Dōjutsu, their ocular power characteristics are fundamentally different. The Byakugan's ocular power is more stable and has extremely strong compatibility, which is why they can be combined. But the Sharingan..."
Orochimaru paused, seemingly considering his words.
" The Sharingan's ocular power exhibits extremely strong individual differences, especially the Mangekyō Sharingan. Each pair of Mangekyo possesses different abilities, with different activation factors and varying frequencies of ocular power fluctuations. This makes it very difficult for the ocular power to resonate between Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Therefore, the method of creating Giant Tenseigan is not suitable for the Mangekyō Sharingan. According to Hiruko's speculation, forcibly fusing them will only lead to extremely terrifying internal damage. Even if they are forcibly integrated, they will only be a shell and will not last long."
Uchiha Jun nodded thoughtfully.
"So, to bring the power of the Mangekyo together, we need to first unify their frequencies?"
"That's right." Orochimaru nodded.
"But this is almost impossible. The awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan requires experiencing extremely intense emotional fluctuations, and these emotional fluctuations are random and uncontrollable. Therefore, the frequency of the ocular power of each pair of Mangekyō Sharingan is unique."
"Unless..."
"Unless what?" Uchiha Jun pressed.
"Unless we can mass-produce Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan perfectly consistent pupil frequencies."
Orochimaru uttered the seemingly absurd idea, "But this requires a standardized process, ensuring all clones use the same genetic sequence, and then selecting souls with similar experiences and personalities to supply the Dōjutsu, the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"Cloning is easy to solve, but the soul... to be honest, that's very difficult."
Uchiha Jun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He fell into deep thought.
The temple fell silent, save for the hum of the instruments.
A moment later, Uchiha Jun raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Then let's do it this way."
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment. "What?"
" The Matrix!" Uchiha Jun.
Orochimaru, have you ever heard of the ' Brain in a Vat '?
" Brain in a Vat?" Orochimaru frowned slightly.
Hiruko was quietly coding nearby, also secretly listened.
Imagine it.
Uchiha Jun stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air. "Take a brain from the body and put it into a tank filled with nutrient solution to sustain its life."
"Then, various electrical signals are transmitted to it through a wire connected to the nerve endings in the brain."
"These electrical signals simulate the input of all the senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste..."
Uchiha Jun looked at Orochimaru with a calm and profound gaze.
"Then, immerse this brain in a virtual world entirely constructed of electrical signals, in which it can 'see,' 'hear,' and 'feel' everything; it can 'walk,' 'run,' 'fight,' and 'grow.'"
"It can even experience life and death, love and hate, and a person's entire life in this virtual world."
"But all of this is fake."
"The truth is, it was just a brain floating in a nutrient solution; it never left the tank."
After Uchiha Jun finished speaking, the laboratory fell into a deathly silence.
Orochimaru stood motionless, while Hiruko beside him, stared wide-eyed in shock.
It seems I heard something incredible.
"The... brain... in... the... vat..."
"Yes, the Limited Tsukuyomi consumes a lot of eye power, but once this ' Brain in a Vat ' is built, it can mass-produce souls with similar experiences and resumes."
"Then we'll use the same gene sequence to produce clones, which will be used to create Mangekyo -like Dōjutsu!"
Uchiha Jun began to explain.
While Uchiha Hikari's Limited Tsukuyomi can also achieve the effect of the Brain in a Vat, it consumes a significant amount of ocular power.
Furthermore, the souls that have undergone the "training" in the Brain in a Vat still need to be screened.
This means that merging the Giant Mangekyo would require a considerable number of people.
Using the Limited Tsukuyomi in this situation would be a waste.
Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "If we implement this plan, the cost will be extremely high."
How tall?
Orochimaru quickly estimated in his mind and then gave a figure. "The cost of a Giant Mangekyo is approximately... around 10 billion ryo."
"This is just an estimate. After all, I haven't even considered the ' Brain in a Vat ' you mentioned, and I don't know the exact implementation cost."
10 billion.
Uchiha Jun frowned slightly.
This number is indeed somewhat exaggerated.
But he quickly relaxed his brow and said calmly, "I'll handle the money. You guys are in charge of researching and finding ways to reduce costs."
After he finished speaking, he paused, then added, "There's one more thing."
"Oh?"
"I need you to prepare another production line."
A hint of doubt flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. "Another production line?"
Uchiha Jun turned around, looked at the Giant Tenseigan, and pointed at it.
"Mass-produce Byakugan to replenish the ocular power of this Giant Tenseigan, and at the same time, produce our own Giant Tenseigan."
"Strive to accumulate enough ocular power as soon as possible to give birth to... the Tenseigan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru's pupils contracted sharply.
" The Tenseigan?!"
His voice trembled with disbelief.
"You just mentioned... the Tenseigan?"
"Hmm." Uchiha Jun nodded. "Above the Byakugan, there is an even higher evolutionary form called the Tenseigan, which is comparable to the Rinnegan of the legendary Sage of Six Paths."
Orochimaru's breathing became rapid.
His gaze fell on Uchiha Jun, then on the Giant Tenseigan, and then back on Uchiha Jun.
He personally witnessed Uchiha Jun's battle against the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The intensity of that battle shocked even this well-traveled man.
Now, Uchiha Jun tells him that the Byakugan can evolve, and the evolved Tenseigan is actually on par with the legendary Rinnegan...
"Interesting..." Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "This is so interesting... If I could study it, it would definitely be a great experience!"
He immediately agreed, "No problem, leave this to me."
Uchiha Jun nodded, then turned and walked out of the temple.
"Call everyone together for a meeting."
The Senjutsu Chakra spread throughout the entire moon.
Half an hour later, in an open area outside the Lunar Temple.
Seimei, Sasori, En Oyashiro, Orochimaru, Hiruko, and the others have all arrived.
Uchiha Jun stood before the crowd, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Next, I have something to say."
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I have decided to make the moon our research and industrial base."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was slightly taken aback.
"The moon?" Seimei frowned. "Although the environment here is relatively stable, the funds needed to transform the entire moon into a base are not a small amount."
"There's no need to worry about funding," Uchiha Jun said, taking two scrolls from his robes.
The numbers above made everyone present gasp in shock.
Three billion taels.
Uchiha Jun now has 3.6 billion ryo in his pocket. After deducting the surplus used for paying salaries and hiring, Uchiha Jun decides to use this 3 billion ryo for his 'final dance'.
Anyway, Uchiha Jun will soon return to his old ways, impersonating Shimura Danzō to rob the daimyo of the Five Great Nations.
He pushed one of the copies in front of Seimei, Sasori, and En Oyashiro.
"This portion, 1.5 billion taels, is for you to purchase building materials, research equipment, and everything else needed for construction."
