Chapter 122: New Abilities of the Tenseigan
As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The peak showdown between the lunar visitor 'Otsutsuki Toneri' and the Akatsuki leader spread far faster than the Uchiha Clan Massacre, the Konoha Crush, the appearance of Wood Release ninjas, and the destruction of Kumogakure.
Not long after the battle ended, the Four Great Shinobi Villages, who had prior knowledge of Kumogakure's plan to bomb Amegakure and had specially planted spies to gather intelligence, immediately learned the results.
Within a day, more detailed intelligence, in the form of documents, was placed before the Five Kage.
The surrounding small countries and small ninja villages also learned the news the next day.
Lunar visitor, Otsutsuki Toneri, Tenseigan and Rinnegan, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, meteor shower, Wood Release, and other keywords rapidly spread to every corner of the ninja world.
The news that the Akatsuki leader was a descendant of the Uzumaki and Senju clans, possessed not only the Rinnegan but also awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, and had used the God of Shinobi's world-stabilizing Nativity of a World of Trees, as well as the Wood Human Buddha statue that forcefully resisted super meteors, instantly overshadowed the fame of the Wood Release ninja, Izayoi.
Both were Wood Release ninjas, but the Akatsuki leader had already become a being akin to the God of Shinobi, while Izayoi had only graduated last year and was not on the same level at all.
With the eyes of the Sage of the Six Paths and the Wood Release of the God of Shinobi, Nagato instantly became the universally recognized strongest person in the ninja world, without exception.
And no one felt unconvinced!
Because Nagato's achievements were truly terrifying.
He founded Akatsuki, whose members were all S-rank rogue ninjas from major villages. The strongest AB Combo of Kumogakure was as weak as children in front of him.
If not for the lunar visitor, Nagato would probably have already been crowned the God of Shinobi of the new era.
Otsutsuki Toneri's words before leaving kept the Five Great Shinobi Villages awake all night.
The strongest power of the new era might no longer be the Wood Release of the God of Shinobi, but the Sage's Eyes from mythological stories.
That unparalleled repulsive and attractive force was simply the power of another dimension, completely different from the ninjutsu of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
But fortunately, there were two people who possessed this power from another dimension.
And they were both enemies!
If only one person possessed it, then the Five Great Shinobi Villages would really have sleepless nights.
Otherwise, upon waking up, their ninja villages might follow in the footsteps of Kumogakure, turning into ruins or becoming subordinate ninja villages of Amegakure.
After all... not every super-standard combatant was the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
If they possessed invincible power, they would also be more inclined to become Uchiha Madara.
...
"I didn't expect the mysterious person to actually exist, and to be from the moon!"
In Iwagakure, Onoki looked at the documents in his hand and the photos taken by his subordinates at the risk of their lives, his eyes trembling.
Especially the Wood Human Buddha statue in the photos reminded Onoki of Uchiha Madara using Susanoo in the past.
Could the legendary Godly Power - Susanoo of the Uchiha clan, which was said to be inescapable once witnessed, actually become this large, capable of contending with the Wood Release of the God of Shinobi?
"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, what exactly is it?" Onoki murmured.
At this moment, he believed Jiraiya's speculation.
The wielders of the Sage's Eyes were all vying for something.
Something... even in a battle of this magnitude, the Akatsuki leader still hadn't used this 'treasure'.
"The next era might become chaotic."
Onoki floated to the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and whispered, "Iwagakure cannot remain isolated either."
...
"Such power actually exists?"
In Kirigakure, Mei Terumi said in disbelief, "With such power, why didn't the God of Shinobi and Uchiha Madara join forces to rule the ninja world back then?"
Mei Terumi, who hadn't seen the true power of Wood Release and the Sharingan, thought that Wood Release was just a Kekkei Genkai invincible in team battles and capable of suppressing Tailed Beasts.
She hadn't expected Wood Release to be able to create such giants, easily smashing even super meteors and releasing Five Great Nature Combination ninjutsu.
With such power, the God of Shinobi alone could have ruled the ninja world without the harbinger of chaos.
Konoha, having two such super-standard combatants at the time, not ruling the ninja world was simply unbelievable.
"Otsutsuki, an unfamiliar surname..."
Gengetsu Hozuki looked at the intelligence in his hand, trying hard to search the memories in his mind, but found no impression of this surname.
He couldn't help but speculate, "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, thief, Tenseigan... could there be a passage connecting the ninja world to the moon somewhere? Otsutsuki, could they be an ancient ninja clan who migrated to the moon for some reason, such as the Demonic Statue? The eyes of the loser, could this clan be related to the Sage of the Six Paths, or perhaps be his enemy?"
Gengetsu's head ached from thinking, and he frowned, "Myth has become reality, the Sage's clan and power have reappeared. I don't know if this is good or bad for this era."
...
"It's only been a few months, and the ninja world has become unrecognizable to this old woman."
In Sunagakure, Chiyo looked at the intelligence and photos in her hand, feeling a sense of powerlessness and despair.
At this moment, she wished Sunagakure could switch places with Kirigakure.
Even if the ninja continent turned upside down, if they couldn't win, couldn't they at least hide?
"The hope of our Five Great Shinobi Villages might only lie in Konoha's Wood Release ninja," Ebizo said calmly. "We can only hope that the Akatsuki leader and that lunar visitor can remain in a stalemate, giving Konoha's Wood Release ninja time to grow, or that the lunar visitor gains the upper hand. Only in this way will our five great nations have a chance to breathe."
"At least throughout the entire Warring States Period and the decades since then, that Otsutsuki clan hasn't interfered with the development of our ninja world. This time, coming to the ninja world from the moon is also to retrieve the so-called Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
"The Demonic Statue, which can bring back an ancient ninja clan to the ninja world, must be an even more terrifying thing."
"Akatsuki is definitely not just a mercenary organization of rogue ninjas banding together for warmth!"
Hearing this, Chiyo sighed, "Neither side is something Sunagakure can contend with. All we can do is wait for the outcome and hope it won't be too tragic."
Looking at the photos in his hand, Ebizo was speechless.
This was the sorrow of the weak, only able to be at the mercy of others.
...
"Rinnegan and Wood Release, could the legendary Sage's Eyes actually be the true Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki clan?"
In the Hokage's office, Tsunade's focus wasn't on Nagato also awakening Wood Release, but looking at Karin and Izayoi's Wood Clone in front of her, she asked Confusely, "Could our bloodline be related to the Sage of the Six Paths?"
You actually got it right.
Izayoi, who was reading the Book of Seals, thought to himself.
Karin just gave an awkward laugh. Last year, she was still a country bumpkin from Kusagakure, how would she know such ancient secrets?
Seeing that neither of them paid attention to her, Tsunade continued looking at the intelligence in her hand, her brow furrowed tightly, "Rinnegan, Tenseigan, they should be different Sage's Eyes, but the mythological stories passed down in the ninja world only mention the Sage of the Six Paths and his Rinnegan. Logically speaking, the wielder of the Tenseigan should be the loser, but why did that Otsutsuki Toneri say that the Sage of the Six Paths was the loser and the Rinnegan was the loser's eyes?"
"Could it be that the Sage of the Six Paths was the loser, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was奪取ed by the wielder of the Tenseigan and taken to the moon, leaving the ninja world to the Sage of the Six Paths?"
"How annoying, why are these people and powers from the ancient era suddenly popping up one after another?!"
Tsunade scratched her head with both hands, shouting in frustration.
"Isn't this also good news?"
Izayoi finally smiled and said, "Myth has become reality, such super-standard combat power has appeared, and it might even be related to our bloodline, which means our power ceiling also has the potential to approach and become such beings, doesn't it?"
Looking at Izayoi, who was still full of confidence even after seeing super-standard combat power, Tsunade and the other two women were slightly stunned.
Immediately, Karin looked at Izayoi with eyes full of admiration.
Shizune was also filled with respect.
And Tsunade had a somewhat dazed expression, then smiled with relief and said, "It seems the Yin Seal can preserve youth but not ambition. I really have to admit that I'm getting old."
As if making a decision, Tsunade said seriously, "Take the Book of Seals back and read it. Your current strength is the most important thing now. If anything unexpected happens, I, the Hokage, will bear the responsibility!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Hokage-sama."
...
"Otsutsuki, Tenseigan..."
In the Hyuga clan's main residence, Hiashi Hyuga looked at the photo of 'Otsutsuki Toneri' and murmured, "I didn't expect that lineage to actually exist! Our Hyuga clan is actually a descendant of the Sage..."
"The Caged Bird Seal, is it related to that lineage? Why did the connection between the two lineages suddenly break off?"
...
Izayoi's main body wasn't interested in the reactions of the outside world.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the underground base of the traditional building, Izayoi opened the barrier and stayed in the underground base.
Still, apart from Hinata, no one knew that the Izayoi outside was just a Wood Clone specifically created to absorb a large amount of chakra for disguise.
Just like in March of the previous year, Hinata carefully took care of the blind Izayoi, responsible for his daily life.
And unlike last year, Hinata, who had now established a relationship with Izayoi, only sent a Shadow Clone back to tell her father and stayed overnight at Izayoi's house.
However, compared to the gentle and virtuous Hinata of last year, the current Hinata had a hint of mischief.
To be precise, she was developing the same habits as Izayoi.
While taking care of Izayoi, she always liked to take pictures of herself or use Shadow Clones to do so. Sometimes she would even deliberately tease Izayoi, taking ugly photos and collecting embarrassing moments for later, not even afraid of Izayoi getting even after recovering.
At the same time, Hinata curiously asked, "Izayoi-kun, can your Tenseigan also evolve like the Sharingan?"
"Hmm, I can feel my ocular power getting stronger, it should be able to continue evolving," Izayoi nodded slightly. "Or rather, it's unlocking even stronger power."
Hinata's expression was a little strange as she said, "Sage's Eyes, it's not really the Uzumaki clan's Kekkei Genkai, is it?"
To this, Izayoi, whose eyes were wrapped in white bandages, just smiled without saying anything.
When the Konoha 11 and Tsunade and Shizune came over, Hinata would send out a Shadow Clone to go up and deal with Izayoi's Wood Clone.
The same was true when Karin went home and Hanabi came over.
When there was no one else at home, Hinata would help Izayoi go out for a walk to absorb fresh air or go to the hot springs for a bath, enjoying the massage service of Gentle Fist.
Unlike the shyness and awkwardness of last year, this time both Hinata and Izayoi seemed so natural.
Because they were already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Just the change in their relationship gave Hinata immense courage, and her immunity to shyness skyrocketed again.
As a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman, Hinata took caring for Izayoi as her duty as a girlfriend and future wife.
This transformation had lost a bit of its initial awkwardness and gained a touch of warmth.
It also made Izayoi and Hinata realize that they were growing up.
And unlike the half-month duration of the first incubation, Izayoi, who had already awakened the ultimate dojutsu, was now in the second incubation, absorbing the chakra secreted by his brain and cells to derive the second stage of the Power of All Creation.
In just a week, Izayoi's Tenseigan completed its second incubation.
When his brain no longer secreted chakra, his eyeballs stopped wriggling, and the Power of All Creation stabilized, Izayoi immediately took off the bandages and opened his eyes.
The Tenseigan hadn't changed in appearance, still so beautiful and unparalleled.
However, the pupils, surrounded by a faint white light like a solar corona, were as deep as black holes, radiating astonishing ocular power.
Weak individuals would tremble uncontrollably just by meeting his gaze, instinctively feeling that his gaze could materialize and kill them.
Hinata sat not far opposite Izayoi, holding a camera and secretly taking pictures of Izayoi's current appearance.
At this moment, Izayoi seemed to be looking intently ahead, but in reality, his gaze had already penetrated the underground base, turning into an invisible large net that enveloped the surrounding countries centered on the Land of Fire, and even parts of several major countries' territories.
Switching his perspective to a god's-eye view, half of the ninja world was within Izayoi's surveillance range.
Switching back to the first-person perspective, Izayoi looked up at the ceiling of the underground base, his gaze piercing through the ground and the atmosphere, arriving at the moon in space.
The dilapidated city, the artificial sun on the moon, the palace and giant Tenseigan inside the artificial sun, as well as the thirteen-year-old Otsutsuki Toneri, who hadn't yet entered his 15-17 year growth period and whose chakra was now even weaker than Naruto's, only able to use mediums to control wireless puppets to take care of his daily life and unable to monitor the ninja world, were all taken into Izayoi's sight.
"Such ridiculously good farsightedness and X-ray vision..." Izayoi clicked his tongue slightly in his heart.
The basic abilities enhanced by the second incubation surprised even Izayoi himself.
The giant Tenseigan could monitor the ninja world because it had fused all the Byakugan of the branch family of the Otsutsuki clan, and perhaps even all the Byakugan of the main family.
And Izayoi had only undergone the second incubation and could already almost monitor the entire ninja world.
Then, when the third incubation, the final evolution, arrived, wouldn't his Tenseigan be on the same level as the giant Tenseigan, or even stronger?
Undoubtedly, such a Tenseigan was definitely not comparable to the one Otsutsuki Toneri had shattered with a single punch.
"Is it the reason for my own eyes, or the merit of the Sage's Eyes (Red)?" Izayoi thought to himself, feeling that the latter contributed greatly.
The Rinnegan was the unification of two poles, while Izayoi's was the unification of three poles.
Otsutsuki Toneri hadn't yet entered his growth period, while Izayoi had already completed his second incubation.
After marveling, Izayoi began to feel the second stage of the Power of All Creation.
Just like the first incubation, after the Tenseigan completed its second incubation, in addition to the astonishing enhancement of farsightedness and X-ray vision, it also gained three new abilities.
The first was Yin-Yang Release, which Izayoi had been longing for.
Yin-Yang Release, like sealing techniques, was an ability with a very ridiculous upper and lower limit.
Without knowing how to use Yin-Yang Release, one could only create black rods like Nagato and Obito.
But if one knew how to use Yin-Yang Release, one could use it and Sage Art as the core to integrate the seven extreme nature transformations, creating the strongest ninjutsu below Kekkei Mora—Truth-Seeking Ball!
Taking it a step further, one could even create all things like the Sage of the Six Paths.
The Sage of the Six Paths wasn't a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and even after death, he still possessed Truth-Seeking Balls, which was due to Yin-Yang Release and Six Paths Sage Art.
Now Izayoi had one of the foundations.
With his advantage as a transmigrator, and his current talent and potential, he might not be unable to achieve Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Truth-Seeking Balls in the future!
In addition to Yin-Yang Release, the remaining two abilities were Mental Ball and Chakra Light Orb.
Mental Ball corresponded to the Human Path of the Rinnegan. It could obtain the thoughts of others and, like the Crystal Ball Divination Technique, project the other party's memories and inner thoughts.
If the Mental Ball was placed inside the target's body, it could also control their will and actions.
This ability had its own advantages compared to the Human Path.
Mental Ball could control enemies, which the Human Path couldn't do.
However, the Human Path could restrain soul-based abilities and came with illusion immunity.
If the enemy also knew the Reincarnation Jutsu, it would simply be seeking death.
Chakra Light Orb corresponded to the Preta Path of the Rinnegan.
Just like Mental Ball and the Human Path, Chakra Light Orb and the Preta Path had similar abilities but their own advantages.
The Preta Path could create a light cover to absorb the enemy's ninjutsu in all directions, a natural counter to the Five Elemental Ninjutsu.
Touching the enemy's body could also quickly absorb their chakra and restore one's own chakra.
However, the Chakra Light Orb couldn't absorb the enemy's ninjutsu in all directions. It could only condense a green light orb in the hand, transform it into a beam to shoot at the enemy, not only devouring the ninjutsu in front but also piercing through the enemy's body, instantly draining their chakra.
After absorbing ninjutsu and chakra, this light orb could fly back, restoring one's own chakra like the Preta Path, or it could turn into a bomb and explode on the spot.
The stronger the enemy's chakra, the stronger the explosive power of the light orb.
If the chakra of a Jinchuriki was drained, the power of this light orb would be even more astonishing than a Tailed Beast Ball.
The three new abilities were all support-type abilities.
Adding the previous repulsive and attractive forces, and the wireless puppets,
Apart from the exclusive super-ultimate move that hadn't yet achieved dimensional strike, Izayoi was now an all-around warrior with integrated offense and defense, full support, and the ability to summon a large army!
Izayoi couldn't help but grin, not concealing the joy in his heart.
Seeing this, Hinata couldn't help but lean closer, asking curiously, "Izayoi-kun, are you sensing your new abilities?"
As she said this, Hinata's small face flushed slightly, recalling the scene when Izayoi had just awakened his Tenseigan.
"Yeah, want to see?"
Pulled back to reality by Hinata's voice, Izayoi's face showed his familiar mischievous smile, making Hinata's heart beat faster.
"...Hmm."
However, the girl seemed to have also developed a liking for this kind of excitement, enduring the shyness in her heart and nodding slightly.
"Come, let's watch a movie together."
Izayoi first turned off the lights in the room, then pulled Hinata into his arms, and the two lay down in the quilt.
Immediately, a green light broke through the darkness, illuminating the embracing Izayoi and Hinata like the light of a firefly.
Izayoi held Hinata in one arm, and in the other hand, he held a green light orb, as clear as crystal.
Under Hinata's curious gaze, images appeared inside the crystal orb, scenes of Izayoi and Hinata meeting when they were children.
"Izayoi-kun, this is..." Hinata's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Izayoi with surprise and delight.
"These are my memories."
Izayoi grinned and then pinched Hinata's small face, saying, "Don't talk, keep watching."
"Mmm-hmm..."
Hinata nodded repeatedly, then lay in Izayoi's arms, her beautiful eyes shining as she looked at the green light orb.
The scenes inside flickered like a slideshow.
Their snowy night encounter at the age of three, their reunion at the ninja academy at the age of six, then their agreed-upon joint training, climbing trees and walking on water, taijutsu duels, picnics, the chase in the snowman suits...
Looking at herself and Izayoi gradually growing up in the light orb, Hinata became entranced.
Izayoi, who had originally intended to play a prank and show some R-rated movies, had unknowingly lost the mood for it and instead quietly watched with Hinata in his arms, his smile full of happiness.
