The two had just stepped into the center of the main hall.
Click click click!
A piercing sound of machinery operating came from all directions.
Hundreds of bizarrely shaped puppets, wielding sharp weapons, surged out from the shadows, surrounding them like a tide.
These puppets exuded a chilling killing intent, their empty eyes fixed intently on the two of them.
Hinata was startled and instinctively assumed the starting stance of Gentle Fist, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
" Shin-kun, be careful! There are too many of these puppets!"
Uchiha Xin looked at the junk and laughed disdainfully.
"How dare you show off a toy like this?"
He didn't even bother to make a seal.
Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon!
A surge of violent Lightning Release Chakra instantly coalesced in front of Uchiha Xin.
With a deafening roar, a massive, blinding Thunder Dragon roared out.
Rumble!
The Thunder Dragon opened its blood-red maw and crashed directly into the group of puppets with overwhelming force.
Blinding lightning raged wildly.
In just a few seconds, the hundreds of menacing puppets were blasted into charred fragments by the violent lightning, which scattered all over the ground.
Hinata looked at the wreckage scattered on the ground, her eyes filled with admiration as she gazed at Uchiha Xin, the tension in her eyes completely dissipating.
Just then, a series of crisp footsteps came from deep within the hall.
A young man with white hair, dressed in a long, flowing white robe, slowly walked out.
The boy's eye sockets were wrapped in thick bandages, and he had no eyes, but he could look in Uchiha Xin's direction with unerring accuracy.
Who are you people?!
Otsutsuki Toneri questioned him sharply, his tone revealing an arrogant and condescending attitude.
"How dare you trespass on the territory of my Ōtsutsuki Clan and destroy my puppets! Are you courting death?!"
Uchiha Xin put his hands in his pockets, looked the boy up and down, and called out his name directly.
" Otsutsuki Toneri, he certainly has a temper."
Upon hearing his name called out by an outsider, the Toneri's expression changed, and his previously arrogant demeanor instantly crumbled.
"How do you know my name! Who are you?!" The Toneri took a half step back in terror.
Uchiha Xin sneered and began his reasoning.
"I not only know your name, I also know that Otsutsuki Tsukuyo is your father."
Let me guess what happened here.
Uchiha Xin pointed to the empty main hall.
"Your Ōtsutsuki Clan needs to constantly sacrifice the Byakugan of your clan members in order to maintain that Giant Tenseigan."
"With the pure-blooded Main Family member, Otsutsuki Kawaha, Tenseigan was relatively stable."
"But a while ago, Kawaha was taken away, skin and bones."
" The Giant Tenseigan, lacking the suppression of its core, has become extremely unstable."
"Your father, Otsutsuki Tsukuyo, had no choice but to sacrifice the lives of all his clansmen."
"In the end, he even sacrificed himself, all to protect you, his only heir, right?"
Uchiha Xin's words, spoken casually, struck Toneri like a bolt from the blue.
The Toneri was both shocked and panicked, his whole body trembling violently.
The other party said it exactly as stated in words!
Ever since that mysterious person stole Otsutsuki Kawaha, the Tenseigan has completely gone out of control.
To suppress the rampaging Tenseigan, the father sacrificed the entire clan.
In the end, he himself became nourishment for the Tenseigan.
"You... you're the devil who stole Kawaha!"
Toneri completely broke down, and he roared wildly.
"I will kill you! To avenge my father!"
The Toneri swung his hands violently, and the walls around the main hall shattered with a deafening crash.
Thousands upon thousands of even more advanced puppets surged forth.
Like a black tsunami, it rushed towards Uchiha Xin and Hinata.
" Shin-kun!" Hinata exclaimed in surprise.
"A trivial skill."
Uchiha Xin snorted coldly, his hands rapidly Hand Seals.
Lightning Release: Kirin!
boom!
The dome of the underground palace was instantly enveloped by raging thunderclouds.
Four enormous Kirin, formed entirely of lightning, emerged from the thunderclouds, roaring as they charged toward the ground with an aura of annihilation.
Rumble! Rumble!
The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire interior of the moon.
Four lightning-powered Kirin rampaged through the puppet horde, instantly turning all the puppets into charred fragments wherever they went.
Not even a complete skeleton was left.
The Toneri stood there blankly, feeling the emptiness of the hall around him, utterly despairing.
His prized puppet army couldn't even last a second against the enemy.
Swish!
Uchiha Xin's figure vanished instantly, appearing directly in front of Toneri.
Just as Toneri was about to resist, the Tenseigan in Uchiha Xin's eyes instantly faded, transforming into the scarlet Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The immense power of his pupils pierced straight into the brain of the Toneri.
Toneri's body stiffened abruptly, then collapsed limply to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
"Ah! Shin-kun, you killed him?" Hinata covered her mouth, her face full of remorse.
Uchiha Xin turned his head, smiled, and patted Hinata's hair.
"Don't worry, he's just been hypnotized and is unconscious. He won't die."
Uchiha Xin casually created a Shadow Clone.
"Drag him aside and settle him down, then be on guard of the surroundings."
The Shadow Clone nodded, grabbed the Toneri by the collar, and walked him aside.
After dealing with Toneri, Uchiha Xin took Hinata's hand and walked straight to the deepest part of the main hall.
Passing through a heavy stone gate, a Giant Tenseigan, as dazzling as a small sun, floated in mid-air, radiating an immense and chilling power.
Hinata stared at the enormous eyeball, so astonished she could barely speak.
" Shin-kun... this... this is the Tenseigan? Such a massive amount of Chakra!"
Hinata turned her head and looked at Uchiha Xin with expectant eyes.
"If I absorb it, will I be able to Awakening my Tenseigan?"
Uchiha Xin nodded reassuringly and reached out to pinch Hinata's soft cheek.
"That's right, you don't need to do anything, just accept this power."
Hinata nodded obediently, took a deep breath, and calmed her excited heart.
Uchiha Xin called out urgently in his heart.
"System, stop pretending to be dead, get up and get to work!"
"Ding! The system is online and ready to serve the host."
The mechanical notification sound rang precisely in Uchiha Xin's mind.
Uchiha Xin gazed at the dazzling, Giant Tenseigan before him and quickly issued commands in his mind.
Hinata is now one of my kin.
"I will use myself as a medium; you are responsible for absorbing this Giant Tenseigan and transforming it into the purest ocular power."
"Through the bond of Dependent Contract, the energy was directly transferred into Hinata's body, helping her Awakening the Tenseigan."
"Do you understand?"
The system immediately responded, "Host, the process is confirmed to be correct and the logic is feasible. This system will now initiate the absorption and transformation procedure."
The whole process is very simple.
