The great war on the moon began when Shinobi World landed there. Think about it: the moon has always been inhabited by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, an ancient family completely different from the humans of the Shinobi World. The Otsutsuki Branch Family always believed that humans in the Shinobi World had to be wiped out. Why? Because they felt that humans only oppressed and killed each other. This was true in the Shinobi World, and it was also true on the moon. The Branch Family felt that humans were too dangerous, so the lunar Branch Family always spoke of destroying the world.

However, the Ōtsutsuki Main Family didn't think that way. They believed that those in positions of power were born to be superior, and that a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors was essential for human prosperity. The Branch Family families should focus on production, while the Main Family should manage the clan. There was no need for fighting; peaceful coexistence would suffice. However, the moon lacked the Caged Bird Seal by the Hyuga Clan on Earth. Therefore, centuries of war between the Main Family and Branch Family families ensued on the moon. Nevertheless, the fighting was intermittent, never reaching the point of annihilation.

But this time it was different. The Shinobi World had begun landing on the moon, and the matter of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was no longer a secret. The Branch Family believed that the Shinobi World world was large and powerful, and if they were to invade the moon, all the Ōtsutsuki Clan would be wiped out. After analyzing the situation, they concluded that the outcome would be the same, and thus the theory of world destruction emerged. The Branch Family head believed that the nobility of the Ōtsutsuki should not be desecrated, so he launched a war to seize the Giant Tenseigan, intending to use Giant Tenseigan to control the moon and then destroy the entire Shinobi World.

The Main Family could not possibly allow such a mad approach. The Main Family had guarded the Giant Tenseigan for generations; how could they allow these Branch Family to steal it? Thus, the conflict erupted once again. The Main Family and Branch Family had been at odds for centuries, and now they were fighting again over the Giant Tenseigan. What began as small-scale clashes escalated into a war of annihilation. Both sides were determined to wipe out the entire population. After several years of fighting, the lunar population dwindled from tens of thousands to a mere hundred or so, teetering on the brink of extinction.

After Tian Muyan flew up, she found many corpses along the way. The Moon Palace was filled with them, a sight that sent chills down one's spine. Only three members of the Main Family remained, desperately guarding the Giant Tenseigan Palace. The Branch Family also had only about a hundred people left, who were attacking the Main Family's shrine like madmen. The three members of the Main Family consisted of Kazuo, a woman, and a child of about ten years old. They were likely a family of three, using the power of the Giant Tenseigan to block the Branch Family's enemies' attack.

The Branch Family took turns attacking, trying to wear down the Main Family through exhaustion. However, the Main Family, aided by the Tenseigan, could control a large number of puppets and were not afraid of this war of attrition. What they feared more was food shortage. Tian Muyan hid behind a boulder, wondering to herself, "What's going on? Why has it turned out like this?"

She quietly approached the Main Family shrine, wanting to see what was happening inside. The shrine's doors were broken, and the inside was in chaos. The patriarch of the Main Family stood in the center of the hall, his body shrouded in dark golden energy. His eyes were resolute, but also revealed his exhaustion. The mistress was tending to the child beside him; the child looked frightened, yet also resilient.

Waves of members from the Branch Family rushed in, their Byakugan flashing with a cold light, their movements swift and powerful. The puppet warriors rampaged through the hall, creating a deafening roar. Tian Muyan hid in a corner, watching the Otsutsuki Branch Family, and cold sweat broke out on her brow.

She saw the patriarch of the Main Family swing his arm, a powerful surge of Chakra emanating from him, instantly knocking the surrounding puppet warriors back several steps. Branch Family members were not to be outdone; they continued their attack, and the puppet warriors charged forward again.

Tian Muyan's heart tightened. She knew that this battle had reached its final stage. Main Family and the Branch Family had only their last remaining strength, and they were all fighting for survival. As a descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki, she wanted to do something. The outcome of this battle might affect the entire Shinobi World.

"Stop it, all of you!" Tian Muyan finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at the top of her lungs. But the sound of the battle was too great, and her voice was instantly swallowed up. She was furious; these people were so blind that they had completely ignored her. She nocked an arrow, and the Frost Bow instantly glowed with a blue light, which was particularly dazzling under the cold light of the moon. She took a deep breath, aimed at the boulder in the center of the Main Family's temple, and then released her grip.

The sound of Space Break instantly ripped through the battlefield. The arrow pierced the boulder with pinpoint accuracy, and the shockwave from the blast instantly knocked over more than a dozen puppet figures. The commotion was like a small bomb exploding, and everyone around was stunned. All fighting instantly ceased, and hundreds of eyes fell on this uninvited guest.

"Where did this trash come from? Are you from the Shinobi World?" The Branch Family elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glaring at Tian Muyan with eyes full of vigilance and anger. He waved his hand, commanding the puppet to attack Tian Muyan. Tian Muyan sneered. These people were truly blind, daring to attack her. Her second arrow had already left the bowstring, splitting into nine streams of light in the air, piercing his shoulder, knee, and wrist joints respectively. The man howled and fell to his knees.

Tian Muyan's voice was colder than the wind on the moon. "I'm looking for Tsubasa. Is the disappearance of the Tsubasa Hokage the Shinobi World, Tianyi, related to you? I don't want to get involved in your messy affairs. But right now, your arguing is giving me a headache."

The stench of blood grew stronger, Tian Muyan wrinkled her nose; it smelled awful. Watching the Branch Family elders struggle on the ground, she thought to herself, "These people are insane! They actually want to destroy the Shinobi World with the moon? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

Only three members of the Main Family remained, but they scrutinized Tian Muyan intently. The eldest man bowed and said, "You are from the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan the Shinobi World, right? How is the Tennin Hyuga clan leader?" Tian Muyan nodded, wondering to herself how this person knew her identity.

"I am Tennin Hyuga is my father, but I married Hokage Tsubasa and now my surname is Tian Muyan. What happened here? Can you tell me?" Tian Muyan's voice was calm, but her eyes held a cold light.

The man bowed politely and said, "Our clan and your Hyuga Clan are both descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, and our Main Family and the head of your Hyuga Main Family have always maintained contact. We are both staunch pacifists. These Branch Family members say that the Shinobi World is in chaos, with Tenten warfare, and that they will attack the moon, so they want to destroy the world. They want to control the Giant Tenseigan to control the moon and wipe out all humanity in the Shinobi World. Our Main Family believes that peace is the most important thing, so we have always protected the Tenseigan. The Main Family Branch Family have been fighting over this for more than two years. The Branch Family are all from the world-destroying faction; they are attacking the Main Family madly, resulting in countless deaths and injuries on both sides, reducing our population from tens of thousands to just this small number. I beg you, you must stop these madmen; they want to destroy the entire world!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Muyan was filled with unease. Her father actually had contact with people on the moon? This was too far-fetched. Besides, the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon hadn't even faced their enemies from the Shinobi World yet, and the Ōtsutsuki on the moon had already engaged in a clan-wide elimination game.

Furthermore, do you really think a single moon can destroy the Shinobi World? Even a single individual like Tsubasa and Madara Uchiha could easily send the moon back into space. Besides, there's the Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, and countless other powerful figures in the Shinobi World. Do you really think a single moon is anything special?

"This is ridiculous, are you guys kidding me?" Tian Muyan thought to herself, these people are really crazy. Without saying a word, she shot down all those who charged forward. She had experienced ninja wars; being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to herself. Each arrow was like a Ōtsutsuki. No one could stop her.

The head of the Branch Family family roared, his voice filled with a twisted confidence. "Stop! How could people from the Shinobi World be this strong? The people who came up last time were driven back by us." His face was flushed red, and his eyes flashed with a mad light, as if he were the ruler of this moon and no one could touch his territory.

Tian Muyan stood there, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were listening to a joke. "Last time, it was intellectuals who came up, researchers, trying to do research on the moon! Good heavens, you all beat them to a pulp! But our truly capable fighters didn't come, otherwise, blowing this moon up wouldn't have been difficult. You even want to use the moon to destroy the Shinobi World? How ridiculous!" As soon as she said this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the members of the Branch Family stared wide-eyed, as if they had been struck on the head.

Upon hearing this, the Branch Family leader jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, roaring, "Impossible! You must be the strongest Shinobi World! She's trying to stop our Holy War! Kill her!" Before he finished speaking, he launched a desperate attack, hurling all sorts of strange weapons and techniques at Tian Muyan. The weapons traced eerie trajectories in the air, carrying a chilling, sinister aura.

Tian Muyan sighed, shook her head, and said, "This is really troublesome." Having no other choice, she casually shot an arrow. The arrow, like a bolt of lightning, instantly pierced the Branch Family leader's chest, pinning him to the ground. The Branch Family leader stared wide-eyed at Tian Muyan in disbelief, then slowly collapsed.

"You people are all insane," Tian Muyan muttered to herself. These people were truly unreasonable. Looking at the terrified gazes around her, she felt deeply troubled. This was no easy task. She needed to find Tsubasa quickly to see if he was related to these people. If not, she would have to find a way to stop this war, after all, they shared the same ancestor.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the Main Family members, her mind racing with worry. She really needed to think of a solution to this.
