Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Inside the moon, in the great hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The Giant Tenseigan was usually a faint blue, resting quietly in the center of the great hall.

That day, the Giant Tenseigan suddenly lit up. Its light grew increasingly dazzling, bathing the entire hall in blue.

The Ōtsutsuki clansman guarding the hall jumped in fright and hurriedly activated his Byakugan. He saw chakra pouring out of the giant eye, passing through the roof and heading straight beyond the moon.

The Giant Tenseigan had been enshrined here for countless years, and he had never seen anything this strange happen to it.

Not daring to delay, he immediately turned and ran out of the hall to report to the elder.

The elder hurried into the hall with several clansmen.

He walked beneath the Giant Tenseigan and stopped. Veins bulged around his eyes as he activated his Byakugan.

He stared at the giant eye for a long while. Seeing the chakra inside it continuously streaming out through the roof, his expression immediately darkened.

"Where is the Tenseigan sending chakra?" the elder asked coldly.

A clansman beside him looked equally puzzled and said, "No one but us can control this eye. Why has it started sending chakra out on its own?"

No one in the hall could answer.

One clansman hesitated before asking quietly, "Elder, should we first check who the chakra is being sent to?"

"Seal it first!" The elder's face was livid, and he ignored the question entirely. "Don't let it send out any more!"

The clansmen dared not disobey. They quickly spread out, forming a circle around the Giant Tenseigan.

Together, they pressed their hands against the giant eye, desperately forcing their chakra into it.

But this Tenseigan was simply too large.

Even with all of them exerting their full strength, the giant eye's light only dimmed slightly. The chakra inside continued streaming out through the roof.

"Keep pushing!" the elder said through gritted teeth. "No one stops!"

In the Land of Fire, on the wasteland outside the Hyuga Clan Compound.

The third-stage Susanoo raised its enormous fist and brought it crashing down with a rush of wind.

Shinichi raised his hand, sending a blast of repulsive force up against the fist.

The two forces collided, kicking up dust all across the ground.

Using the recoil, Shinichi surged forward and slammed his palm against the blue-violet armor on Susanoo's chest.

Chakra burst from his palm.

Yet not even a single crack appeared in the armor.

The same palm strike that had cracked the second-stage Susanoo was completely ineffective against the third stage's armor.

The two exchanged several more rapid blows.

Susanoo's massive body could not touch Shinichi as he dodged using repulsive force.

Nor could Shinichi's attacks penetrate the third-stage Susanoo's thick armor.

Neither gained the upper hand.

Shinichi rapidly weighed his options.

Repulsive force and palm strikes alone can't break through this armor.

He recalled how, in the original story, Otsutsuki Toneri had turned Truth-Seeking Orbs into a blade of light and split the moon with a single slash.

He could not form that many Truth-Seeking Orbs now, but he could still force himself to produce one.

It might not split the moon, but it would be enough to split a Susanoo.

The chakra coming from the moon overhead was still pouring into him without end.

Shinichi raised his right hand and forced all that chakra toward a point in front of his palm.

As he crammed so much chakra into one place, he clenched his teeth, his entire right hand trembling.

A black Truth-Seeking Orb slowly took shape before his palm, floating darkly in front of his hand.

The next instant, the Truth-Seeking Orb spun rapidly before his hand, abruptly stretching and expanding!

Silver-white light erupted, forming an enormous Silver Light Blade that shot into the clouds. It towered another half a length above Susanoo, lighting up the entire wasteland.

Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

In the woods to the north, Hashirama Senju raced across the treetops. He was already close to the Hyuga Clan Compound.

A streak of silver light suddenly shone in the northern sky, standing so tall that it was clearly visible even from this far away.

It was right in the direction of the Hyuga Clan Compound.

Every trace of a smile vanished from Hashirama's face.

He guessed that Madara and that Hyuga kid had already started fighting, and that the battle was no small affair.

Without pausing for a single breath, he rushed straight toward the silver light.

On the wasteland.

Holding the brilliantly shining Silver Light Blade in one hand, Shinichi faced the fierce wind rushing at him and slashed straight down!

The enormous blade howled as it tore through the air and struck the third-stage Susanoo's blue-violet armor, coming to an abrupt stop with a dull boom.

On a distant rise, Scarface's expression changed. He thought the slash had been blocked.

The next instant, a crack burst open at the armor's shoulder!

In the blink of an eye, cracks spread across the entire Susanoo.

The blade drove downward, splitting the third-stage Susanoo in two with a thunderous crash!

Its momentum did not diminish at all. It swept past Susanoo and sliced toward the hill behind it.

With a deafening rumble, the entire hilltop was sliced clean off. Huge chunks of shattered rock rolled across the ground amid clouds of dust.

With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Madara had already seen exactly where the slash was coming.

The instant Susanoo split open, he turned sideways inside it to let the blade pass.

The blade skimmed the hem of his clothes, slicing off a corner of his long black robe and leaving a deep trench in the ground.

Madara leaped down and landed firmly.

On the rise.

With his Byakugan active, Shinichi's eldest uncle stared fixedly at the center of the wasteland, unable to speak for a long time.

When the silver light slashed down, chakra had filled his vision, leaving him unable to see anything clearly.

Once the light faded, all he could see were the Susanoo split in two and the leveled hilltop. His hand supporting Scarface remained motionless for a long while.

Beside him, Scarface had initially thought the armor had blocked that slash.

But when he saw Susanoo split down the middle and most of the hill behind it collapse as well, his eyes nearly popped out. He slapped his thigh and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The clan leader won!"

In the woods, Hashirama Senju was still racing through the treetops.

From far away, he saw with his own eyes the Silver Light Blade slash down, the blue-violet giant split in two down the middle, and a distant hilltop collapse along with it.

Hashirama drew in a sharp breath.

He knew better than anyone how tough Madara's Susanoo was. Before this, he had been the only one who could break through it.

That kid named Shinichi Hyuga had actually split it with a single slash.

Shocked and curious, Hashirama found himself wanting to meet the kid, but he did not dare slow his pace at all.

At the center of the wasteland, the dust gradually dispersed.

Madara looked down at the missing corner of his long black robe, then turned to look at the leveled hilltop behind him.

Had that slash been even a fraction off, Susanoo would not have been the only thing split open.

Apart from Hashirama, this was the first person in all these years to push him this far.

Expressionless, Madara stood silently with his arms folded across his chest, watching the two halves of Susanoo shatter into a sky full of blue chakra motes.

Inside the moon, in the great hall of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

After the clansmen had gritted their teeth and pressed for a long time, the Giant Tenseigan's light dimmed little by little.

Finally, the dazzling blue light went out completely. The giant eye returned to its usual faint appearance, resting quietly in the center of the hall.

The outflow of chakra stopped.

The elder withdrew his hands and let out a long breath.

On the wasteland.

The response from above Shinichi's head abruptly cut off.

The chakra that had been pouring into his body was gone.

The glowing, pale-blue Chakra Cloak around him flickered violently several times, then dimmed considerably.

Shinichi raised his head and glanced at the pale moon in the sky, immediately understanding.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon had intervened!

Shinichi switched to his own chakra to sustain his chakra mode.

He remained where he was, looking at Madara with his Tenseigan.

Madara also watched the Hyuga kid who had split his Susanoo with a single slash.

After a while, Madara gave a laugh.

He had only ever felt this way when fighting Hashirama Senju to the death.

The next instant, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in Madara's eyes began spinning rapidly.
