Hyuga Hiashi frowned.
No.
The Uchiha could fall, but he, Hyuga Hiashi, could not be an ingrate.
Yet he could not openly step forward to help the Uchiha either.
If he did, the Hyūga would become everyone's target and follow in the Uchiha's footsteps.
What should he do?
Hiashi's Byakugan remained fixed on the Uchiha elderly, women, and children struggling in despair on the distant battlefield, especially the black-haired boy sheltered in Uchiha Mikoto's arms and Uchiha Itachi, who was desperately covering their retreat despite his many wounds.
His gaze sharpened, and a decision formed in his heart.
Hyuga Hiashi hesitated no longer. His hands slowly formed a complex hand seal, and the Giant Tenseigan appeared behind him.
"Hah!"
Hiashi gave a low shout. The chakra throughout his body seethed, resonating with the Giant Tenseigan behind him.
Humm-
The Tenseigan trembled slightly. The light flowing over its surface suddenly brightened, and an unimaginably vast torrent of chakra was drawn out, surging into Hyuga Hiashi's body!
"Urgh-!"
Hiashi grunted, his body involuntarily rising into the air.
A soft, pale green light began to radiate from his body. It grew brighter and brighter, gradually enveloping him entirely.
Had Hamura Otsutsuki's clan from the moon been present, they would have recognized this as "Tenseigan Chakra Mode."
But unlike true Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Hiashi had no Tenseigan of his own. At that moment, he was more like a "vessel" and a "conduit," bearing and controlling the power from the Giant Tenseigan.
A pale green chakra cloak took shape around his body, its archaic design carrying a touch of sanctity.
But on closer inspection, this cloak was not as solid or fluid as that of true Tenseigan Chakra Mode. It looked somewhat rigid, and its light was slightly muddled, as though seen through a veil.
