In the ninja world, the moon has always been a mysterious and distant place, hanging high in the night sky, radiating a cold light, as if hiding endless secrets. This time, Tian Muyan embarked on a journey to the moon. She wore the Ice Set, a set of equipment that shimmered with a ghostly blue light and contained powerful strength. When her wings unfolded, they were like feathers formed from solidified ice and snow, carrying her through the atmosphere and flying rapidly towards the distant moon.
As they drew closer, the moon's outline became increasingly clear, its surface riddled with craters of varying sizes, like scars left by time. Tian Muyan's gaze swept over the uneven terrain, a sense of melancholy rising within her. The moon's environment was drastically different from the ninja world; there was no thriving vegetation, no babbling brooks, only barren rocks and dust. Yet, it was precisely on this seemingly lifeless land that a powerful force lay hidden— the Moon Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Finally, Tian Muyan reached the lunar surface, landing in a large crater. Deep cracks lined the crater walls, as if formed by a powerful impact. Upon closer inspection, she discovered a shocking sight—blood, dark purple blood, meandering along the crater's edge, dried but still horrifying. Many battles must have taken place here, and many lives must have been lost. Tian Muyan frowned. She knew the power of the Ōtsutsuki Clan Konoha. Years ago, Konoha's Scientific Research Department had explored the moon, only to be ruthlessly repelled by the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Some of those brave ninja explorers may have perished on this very spot.
In the distance, the faint sounds of battle cries drifted up. Tian Muyan slowly rose, gripping the Frost Bow at her waist, her fingertips tracing the runes on its surface. The Frost Bow was her strongest weapon, a divine artifact forged for her by her husband, Tsubasa, inscribed with ancient runes and containing powerful ice-type Chakra. She cautiously made her way towards the direction of the sounds, each step taken with extreme care, lest she alert the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
After traversing a rugged, rocky terrain, Tian Muyan finally saw the palace. It was the Moon Palace, built by the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the far side of the moon, resembling an ancient architectural complex from afar. The Moon Palace had a unique architectural style, with tall, well-arranged buildings carved with various mysterious patterns, as if telling ancient stories. The palace walls were made of an unknown metal, shimmering with a cold light under the moonlight. At the top of the palace were towering spires, each topped with a huge sky-blue gemstone that emitted a faint blue light like an eye, adding a touch of mystery to this desolate moon.
Hiding behind a boulder, Tian Muyan secretly observed the Moon Palace. The palace gates were wide open, and sounds of fierce fighting and curses echoed from within. She could see figures moving about inside, dressed in strange attire and radiating powerful Chakra fluctuations—clearly powerful members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Tian Muyan knew her mission would be far from easy; the Ōtsutsuki Clan's strength far exceeded her expectations. The enormous, eye-like gem atop the buildings alone exerted considerable pressure. But she also knew she couldn't back down. To find her husband, Tsubasa, she had to investigate the moon's secrets and determine if Hokage 'Tsubasa disappearance was related to the Moon Ōtsutsuki Clan.
She took a deep breath, slung the Frostbow over her back, and slowly approached the Moon Palace. Every step felt like a challenge to fate, but her eyes were resolute, and she held only one belief in her heart—for the safety of Tsubasa, she had to move forward.
As she got closer, Tian Muyan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Hundreds of figures with Byakugan were darting and fighting within the palace, the scene resembling a sci-fi battle from a movie. Inside the main hall, three members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family were enveloped in dark golden energy, clearly not ordinary energy. The techniques they used were actually the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan. Tian Muyan wondered to herself, what exactly is the relationship between the Ōtsutsuki Clan and our Hyuga Clan? How come their techniques are so similar? However, they controlled more puppet warriors. These puppet warriors were like lumps of iron, yet their movements were incredibly agile, each punch and kick carrying immense power.
The situation outside was equally dire, with hundreds of warriors from the Otsutsuki Branch Family wielding Gentle Fist, controlling puppets in battle. Both sides clearly shared the same origin; if this were in the ninja world, it would cause a massive uproar. Tian Muyan was filled with doubt. Why were they waging such a massive war? Judging from the bloodstains outside, tens of thousands had died! What secrets did the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon hold?
The Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon have truly unique appearances. Each of them has long, silver-white hair that floats gracefully under the moon's weak gravity, making them look like Sage. Their eyes are all Byakugan, exactly like the Hyuga Clan's, but their Byakugan possess a cold, piercing light, as if they can see through everything. Their skin is a pale blue, a color that stands out strikingly in the moon's cold light. They are tall and have well-defined muscles, clearly indicating they are powerful individuals who have trained for many years.
Their Ninjutsu is remarkably similar to that of the Hyuga Clan. Their Gentle Fist techniques are imbued with powerful Chakra fluctuations, each punch capable of shattering rocks. However, they also possess powerful puppets. These puppets are not ordinary marionettes; they are crafted from Isshiki special metal and Chakra crystals, each controlled by the user's Byakugan, allowing them to fight like true ninjas. Furthermore, these puppets can unleash powerful Ninjutsu upon the Ōtsutsuki Clan's commands, their power in no way inferior to that of a real ninja.
Tian Muyan hid behind a boulder, her mind in turmoil. She knew this great battle was definitely related to Konoha, and perhaps even the entire ninja world. She needed to figure out what was going on, but she couldn't just rush in recklessly—that would be suicide. She had to find a way to uncover the truth without revealing her identity.
Tian Muyan gritted her teeth. She knew she had to risk going in to take a look. She cautiously peeked out from behind the boulder, observing the situation outside the Moon Palace. The warriors of the Otsutsuki Branch Family were all busy controlling their puppets and didn't notice her at all. She took the opportunity to silently approach the gate of the Moon Palace, and then slipped inside.
The situation inside the Moon Palace was even more chaotic than outside. Cracks were everywhere in the palace walls, clearly caused by a powerful Chakra attack. Various weapons and broken puppet parts were scattered on the ground, and the air was filled with the stench of blood. Tian Muyan wrinkled her nose; she didn't like that smell.
She hid behind a pillar, secretly watching the three members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family. They stood in the center of the hall, their dark golden energy pulsating like flames. One of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family members, who seemed to be the leader, loudly commanded the puppet warriors, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
