Giant Tenseigan and a Call from the Moon!

In the Sealing Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya pondered for a moment before explaining in a strange, astonished tone.

"That human girl has a soul following her!"

Indeed, even Otsutsuki Kaguya had never seen a soul remain in the world of the living a thousand years ago!

Hyuga Setsuna's eyes flashed with disbelief upon hearing this.

After all, that answer was simply too horrifying!

And how was that even possible?

Shouldn't the souls of the dead all go to the Pure Land, to Yomi?

And there should not have been any Ninjutsu in this world capable of keeping a dead person's soul in the world of the living!

Even the Impure World Reincarnation developed by Senju Tobirama could only randomly retrieve souls from the Pure Land, and they could only walk among the living by relying on the bodies created through Impure World Reincarnation!

It was fundamentally impossible for a soul to remain in the world of the living!

What exactly was going on with that princess? Why was there a soul following her around?

He had thought this mission would be easy, but he had unexpectedly encountered something like this!

He had only gone on two missions in total. The first time, he had encountered people from the Jashin Cult. The second was even more absurd—he had encountered a soul that had not gone to the Pure Land, but instead remained in the world of the living!

Hyuga Setsuna slowly exhaled, his expression complicated as he said,

"Grandmother, is there any way for me to see that soul?"

Yes, he had to find a way to see the soul by Akishinomiya Yuri's side. Otherwise, this mission would have an uncontrollable factor!

In the Sealing Space, Otsutsuki Kaguya spoke after hearing Hyuga Setsuna's words.

"As long as thou openest the Tenseigan, thou shalt be able to see that soul!"

Hearing Otsutsuki Kaguya's words, Hyuga Setsuna froze for a moment before saying with a troubled expression,

"But Grandmother, my Tenseigan has not finished evolving and transforming yet!"

"Thy Tenseigan can see it even before it has fully transformed. It need not complete its transformation."

His unfinished Tenseigan could see it too?

Half doubtful, Hyuga Setsuna began to mobilize the Chakra within his body!

"Tenseigan, open!"

Along with Hyuga Setsuna's low shout,

His Byakugan began to fade away, and gradually, a sky-blue radiance as dazzling as the stars emerged within his eyes!

Within the dim room, a pair of star-like eyes slowly lit up.

Hyuga Setsuna silently sensed the Tenseigan within his eyes. Although its core power had yet to be nurtured,

He could sense a pull and connection from the moon, constantly calling to him and urging him to go to the moon.

Just as Hyuga Setsuna gradually became engrossed in that call,

Otsutsuki Kaguya in the Sealing Space also sensed that call and connection through him. Her expression gradually darkened, deep fury flashing through her eyes as she said,

"Hamura!!!"

The barren white land began to be replaced by a world of ice and snow. Bitter winds howled through the Sealing Space, while enormous snow-capped mountains stood in the world like pillars reaching the heavens. Splendid palaces slowly crumbled in the piercing winds, crashing into the dark rivers beneath the white ice plains.

Otsutsuki Kaguya floated above the frozen world, dressed in white robes patterned with black tomoe. Terrifying Chakra began to surge from her body, while the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan closed upon her forehead slowly opened, emitting an eerie radiance.

Meanwhile, the moon in the outside sky, which had been emitting a gentle glow, gradually began to dim.

On the moon,

Within a strange space, an elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged. Two horns grew from his head, and he wore a loose white robe. Six black tomoe-like markings lay across his chest, while a red spiral symbol marked his back, beneath which were three rows of tomoe patterns.

Otsutsuki Hamura, who had been seated in meditation, was awakened by the moon's disturbance. He opened his slightly cloudy Byakugan.

Looking at the dimmed moon before him and the Giant Tenseigan of the Otsutsuki clan that had begun to stir, Otsutsuki Hamura frowned slightly.

"Mother?"

Then, his gaze shifted toward the deepest part of the moon. It was an utterly pitch-black space, without gravity or air, containing only profound darkness.

Otsutsuki Kaguya's body was sealed within the space formed by Six Paths: Planetary Devastation.

Otsutsuki Hamura looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was still sleeping while firmly sealed within Six Paths: Planetary Devastation. He slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and softly said,

"Not Mother."

Then Otsutsuki Hamura's cloudy Byakugan gazed through the moon toward the vast, boundless land of the Shinobi World. Staring at the land that had once been his homeland, he said,

"Mother, Brother, Indra, Asura!"

After saying that, Otsutsuki Hamura fell into eternal slumber once more.

As for those descendants outside who had fallen into turmoil because of the Tenseigan's disturbance, he did not care much about them.

What he cared about was his mother and the moon that served as her seal.

The disturbance of the Tenseigan was probably caused by those among his descendants, wasn't it?

Inside the shrine housing the Giant Tenseigan,

Several elderly white-haired men had gathered together, looking at the Giant Tenseigan, which had now calmed down.

"Why did the Tenseigan suddenly stir?"

"Could it be that those people from the Branch Family infiltrated this place? Have they still not given up?"

At that moment, one white-haired elder looked at the other elders who were discussing the matter and said,

"No matter what, we can use this disturbance of the Tenseigan to make a move against them!"

"Whether or not they are connected to this disturbance of the Tenseigan, we must suppress those people from the Branch Family. Their understanding and beliefs regarding our ancestors' final words are wrong!"

The Shinobi World.

The daimyo's residence of the Land of Fire.

Inside the room, Hyuga Setsuna had also awakened from that inexplicable call and connection, raising one hand to touch the Tenseigan in his eyes.

Recalling that call from just now, deep lingering fear flashed through Hyuga Setsuna's eyes.

He had merely listened to it for a moment, yet he had been caught off guard and completely immersed in it. The feeling was as if he never wanted to wake up again.

Within the Sealing Space, the world that had been replaced by ice and snow returned once more to a barren white land, while magnificent palaces reappeared in clusters.

Otsutsuki Kaguya, floating in the air, slowly closed the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on her forehead.

Seeing that Hyuga Setsuna had already awakened outside, delight flashed through her eyes as she said,

"Setsuna, thou art awake!"

Second update!

Otsutsuki Hamura's body should have died, but his soul and spirit remained!

Also, regarding whose Giant Tenseigan was enshrined in the shrine, I checked a lot of information and still could not figure it out. Some say it belonged to Hamura, some say the Otsutsuki Main Family created it themselves, and some even more outrageous claims say it formed naturally...

And since the moon was formed from the Six Paths: Planetary Devastation that sealed Otsutsuki Kaguya, where did the previous moon go?
