Severe pain, blood loss, broken internal organs, broken bones... the cold shadow of death, like the thickest darkness, quickly enveloped Toneri's consciousness, dragging him into Eternity's silence.
However, just on the verge of complete sinking of consciousness, some voices, some voices that had long been dusted by time but deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, began to echo and emerge in his broken mind...
"My son," a deep voice sounded as if it had traveled through a long time, with unquestionable expectations, "You carry the mission of our Ōtsutsuki Clan! Purify Shinobi World, reshape order, and protect the peace of the moon... This is your responsibility, Bestowal, and your honor!"
It was the voice of his father. In his childhood memory, the tall and serious man who always taught him "mission".
"Although this child was born blind, but... it might not be an opportunity."
Another old and wise voice sounded, with scrutiny and a hint of expectation,
"Without Byakugan, it may allow him to focus more on the pure power of Sensing Temple Tenseigan, and not be bound by 'seeing'. If you train him well, he may become an unprecedented 'eye' for our race."
This is the voice of Elder. When he was judged as a "born without eyes" alien, a few elders in the clan did not give up on him completely, but instead saw another possibility.
"Toneri, Shinobi World... how is the supervision going?"
The father's voice sounded again, this time with inquiry and inspection, "Have you fulfilled the responsibility of supervision passed down from generation to generation by our clan?"
"My son," it was the father again, but this time his tone seemed softer, "My son, now that you have grown... can you continue the bloodline of our clan?"
Finally, there was a voice that was so gentle that it was almost illusory, but like a ray of sunshine illuminating the cold memory:
"Toneri...Mother loves you... you must grow up healthy..."
It's mother.
The figure in his memory would touch his forehead with warm hands and hum an unknown song.
It's a pity that such a gentle person passed away not long after I remembered it.
This love, so short yet so profound, became the only real and tangible warmth in his cold life.
Father's mission, Elder's expectations, supervision responsibility, continuation of blood, mother's love...
These voices, these expectations, these heavy, warm, and cold "things" flowed, collided, and intertwined rapidly like a revolving lantern in his consciousness that was on the verge of being broken.
They were once the meaning of his life, the criteria for his actions, the motivation for his loneliness and perseverance, and also... the invisible Shackles that bound his soul.
However, at this moment, in the face of the absolute coldness of death, these "things" seemed to have turned into the final fuel, igniting the Flames called "obsession" deep in his soul that refused to be extinguished!
"I... I have... a lot of things... on my shoulders..."
Toneri In the broken consciousness, this thought exploded like thunder, with an almost tragic realization.
Mission! Responsibility! Expectation! Love!
They are so heavy, yet so... real. They are the proof of his existence in the world and the meaning of his struggle to this day.
"I can't... fall..."
"Can't... fall...!"
An almost arrogant desire to survive and a sense of mission burst out from the depths of his soul like a volcanic eruption! This power temporarily overcame the severe physical pain and dispelled the shadow of death!
"Tenseigan!"
He called out silently but like a shout in his heart, "Ancestors!"
His spirit, desperately, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, once again forcibly connected to the distant Giant Tenseigan that was connected to his blood.
He no longer forcibly "borrows" power, but is praying, requesting, and burning everything in himself to resonate and awaken the collective will and power of the Otsutsuki Branch Family ancestors sleeping in that eye!
"Lend me your strength, I need strength!"
"Complete... our clan's mission!!!"
This shout seemed to have penetrated the barrier of the body and the limitations of space, turning into an extremely strong spiritual wave, heading straight for the Giant Tenseigan of Golden!
In the deep pit, Toneri's already dim and on the verge of extinction life breath, like a flashback, began to rise and fluctuate again in an unstable but extremely violent way!
The broken moon beneath him seemed to be trembling slightly due to this sudden burst of spiritual power mixed with despair, obsession and prayer.
Outside the pit, Naruto, who had just landed, frowned suddenly. When Sensing saw the abnormal fluctuations at the bottom of the pit and the suddenly strengthened connection with Giant Tenseigan in the distance, alarm bells rang in his heart.
"Still steaming?"
"Ah!"
At the bottom of the pit, Toneri roared like a beast in desperate situation.
Although his body was exhausted and his mind was beginning to blur, there was still hope in such a desperate situation.
Because he has faith, always believes, and hope always exists.
He thrust his hands against the cold, hard ground beneath him. Due to the severe pain and extreme overdraft of strength, his elbows swung uncontrollably like a butterfly still trying to struggle after breaking its wings.
Every slight movement affects the broken bones and broken internal organs of the whole body, causing heartbreaking pain.
Sweat and blood mixed with dust slipped from his forehead and dripped into the dust at the bottom of the pit.
He could feel that in his broken body, there was a force forcibly spurred by obsession surging, and the connection with Giant Tenseigan in the distance was desperately strengthening the transmission.
Soon! Soon!
As long as you survive this most difficult moment, as long as you can hold on firmly with your hands, straighten your waist and abdomen, and stand up straight with trembling legs...
At that time, he will be able to stand up again in one go.
With the power lent by Ancestors, with the unfinished mission, with the determination to burn life, let's fight again!
A big hand pressed hard on the back of Toneri's head.
"Steam? Keep steaming! Just sit at the same table with Grass Ninja, Iwa Ninja, and Cloud Ninja. Every time, you act like I am the villain."
Naruto's eyes turned into Red Eyes Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, and then he raised his hand fiercely, using Human Path's ability in Rinnegan's basic ability, to grab Toneri's soul.
"I practiced with Teacher Guy in winter, Sanjiu and Sanfu in summer, and then secretly practiced the control of Chakra at night. The weight I carried on my body ranged from dozens to hundreds of kilograms. Do you think you are the only ones who have worked hard?
Your talent is not as good as mine, your efforts are not as good as mine, and your intelligence is not as good as mine. You just want to explode with a few angry words and then you can continue to fight me. How can there be such a good thing!"
The prerequisite for hot-blooded comics to become popular is that you are the protagonist.
Are you Kid the protagonist? You will explode!
