Tenseigan Awakens

His way of thinking was no longer what it had been.

The world of Boruto.

At this moment, Sasuke and Boruto had already returned to Konoha.

"To think the Sage of Six Paths had a younger brother; it seems there are still many secrets from that era that remain unknown to us."

Young adult Naruto sat in the Hokage's office, looking rather surprised.

"Indeed. I heard from Otsutsuki Yuhao that in a future he witnessed, my Rinnegan will vanish, and your Nine-Tails will be gone as well. By then, we will no longer have the power to protect Konoha. Therefore, Naruto, we had best train hard. There are forbidden techniques left behind by the Second Hokage sealed within scrolls; you should find a few to practice. As for the village affairs, let Shikamaru handle them for now."

Second Pillar spoke to Naruto with a grave expression.

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Second Pillar's serious face and nodded.

"I never expected Sasuke and Boruto to arrive in this era. Could it be because of me?"

Otsutsuki Yuhao thought to himself.

"Ma... Master, what happened here?"

Zi Tianming and Qinshou finally arrived at the center of the battlefield with a dozen jonin from Otsutsuki Town, but the battle had long since concluded. Given their speed as elite jonin, covering the hundred-plus kilometers from Otsutsuki Town in an hour was already their absolute limit.

"This... why does this place look like a huge chunk is missing? Was it an earthquake?"

Qinshou asked in shock.

Otsutsuki Yuhao replied casually, "That's right, just consider it an earthquake! Let's go, back to Otsutsuki Town."

Zi Tianming and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with astonishment. Although Otsutsuki Yuhao claimed the dozen kilometers of land had vanished into the ocean due to an earthquake, they could naturally sense the terrifying chakra residue left on the battlefield. Even though the chakra aura had faded, the fact that such a vast area was saturated with the equivalent of a chunin's chakra was enough to shock everyone present.

"Heavens... just what kind of existence was the Master fighting? To have such destructive power, one might as well call him a god!"

Nara said, looking incredulous.

"Perhaps we will only reach that level once we become Grandmasters," Qinshou said earnestly.

Zi Tianming replied dismissively, "Forget it. We aren't even masters yet, who knows how far away a Grandmaster is! Let's head back to town; the Master is almost out of sight."

"Understood!"

"Right!"

After returning to Otsutsuki Town, Otsutsuki Yuhao went straight to his laboratory. He took out Urashiki's Golden Rinnegan and began to study its abilities. Feeling the ocular power within the Golden Rinnegan, which was several times greater than his own, Yuhao was momentarily taken aback.

This Rinnegan possessed all of Urashiki's previous abilities, eliminating the need to switch eyes when using different powers. The Otsutsuki clan could absorb power and use it to strengthen themselves. From what he could see, Urashiki had absorbed his own Rinnegan, sacrificing his Blue Rinnegan and Red Rinnegan to evolve into the Golden Rinnegan. That meant the next level of Rinnegan was indeed gold.

The basic ability of the Golden Rinnegan was to absorb and reflect ninjutsu. Back then, when Otsutsuki Momoshiki absorbed Otsutsuki Kinshiki, he awakened a similarly golden Rinnegan and proceeded to overwhelm Naruto and Sasuke. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and was killed by the combined efforts of the father-son duo, Naruto and Boruto.

However, this eye was surely far superior to a standard Rinnegan or the Tenseigan. After all, the final state of the Rinnegan was the Rinne Sharingan, the goal the Otsutsuki had always pursued. The Otsutsuki main family—like Kaguya and Momoshiki—had always coveted the power of the God Tree fruit. Kaguya had eaten the chakra fruit and become the Ten-Tails' vessel, but she lacked technique and combat intellect, having reached the pinnacle without understanding its nuances. Momoshiki, on the other hand, had accumulated Ten-Tails power bit by bit to refine pills; the red Rinnegan he awakened was still inferior to the Rinne Sharingan, as it lacked the synergy of the Six Paths Sage Arts, failing to display the true value of the Rinnegan.

In plain terms, Boruto's Jougan is the fusion of Naruto's Sage Body malice-sensing and the Sage Eye power of the Hyuga Byakugan Princess, a descendant of the Otsutsuki on Earth. It is a constitution belonging to the Rinnegan's supporting series, combining the Otsutsuki Byakugan Sage Eye.

The Otsutsuki main branch likely possesses an alternative type of Sage Body, one that should be equal and opposite to the Sage Body series found under the Sage of Six Paths' Six Paths Rinnegan (much like the Tenseigan appears to be).

Half a year later.

Otsutsuki Yuhao's Byakugan finally evolved into the Tenseigan.

In the world of Naruto, Toneri could only awaken the Tenseigan after swapping his eyes, much like how Sasuke could only evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan after transplanting Itachi's eyes.

However, the matter was far from that simple.

According to Otsutsuki Yuhao's research, that was due to an impure Otsutsuki bloodline and incomplete genes; the eye transplant merely happened to patch the genetic flaws, allowing for the awakening of the Eternal Mangekyou or the Tenseigan.

As Otsutsuki Yuhao absorbed the ocular power of the Golden Rinnegan once more, the fetal movement experienced by his Byakugan finally reached the level of the Tenseigan.

The moment Otsutsuki Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of sky-blue light ignited within the darkness.

Blue radiance swirled around Otsutsuki Yuhao's body, and six Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared behind him.

"This power is quite good; it is not inferior to the Rinnegan!"

"I should be invincible now!"

Otsutsuki Yuhao felt the immense ocular power contained within his eyes, an expression of intoxication appearing on his face.

Activating the Tenseigan Chakra Mode allows for the emission of numerous Truth-Seeking Orbs and the use of Yin-Yang Release to create all things.

It controls gravity and repulsion, capable of manipulating the orbital trajectories of planets.

It possesses space-manipulation abilities, allowing for the creation of spatial tunnels between two celestial bodies, similar to the space-time ninjutsu of Sasuke's Rinnegan.

It absorbs chakra; by controlling Tenseigan chakra, one can absorb an enemy's chakra from a distance.

It grants life force to puppets. Weakness: When the Tenseigan controlling the puppet vanishes, the puppet immediately loses power.

"Possessing both the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan simultaneously—this power is too overwhelming."

"It actually makes me unable to help but lose myself within it."

After a long while, Otsutsuki Yuhao finally sobered up from the influence of such power and deactivated the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

"Invincible?"

Otsutsuki Yuhao let out a mocking laugh. He was certain that if he truly held such a thought right now, he would likely die without even knowing how.

Not to mention comparing himself to his older brother, the Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo, he wasn't even certain he could defeat Hamura.

Although Yuhao's strength had increased significantly, it hadn't been as easy as multiplying his power several times over; at most, his combat strength had risen from ten thousand to fifteen thousand.
