A golden beam of light surged like a raging flood, engulfing Hyuga Gakuya's entire body. Its power was so immense that it tore straight through the moon's hardened surface, leaving behind a gaping, horrific hole.
"I did it!" Toneri shouted, exhilarated.
But in the very next moment, a scene that defied logic unfolded before his eyes—Hyuga Gakuya emerged from the heart of the massive golden beam completely unscathed, continuing his charge toward the violet Tenseigan.
"How... how is that possible?!"
Toneri's eyes widened in disbelief, his face frozen in utter shock.
He couldn't comprehend it. How could anyone survive such an overwhelming attack without a single defense and come out entirely unharmed?
Frantically, he activated his golden Tenseigan, scanning Gakuya with heightened scrutiny.
Then, he noticed something that made his blood run cold. The original blue of Gakuya's Tenseigan had contracted—and beside them, a new pair of eyes had emerged. Intricate patterns spun within them: the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"A Mangekyō technique?! As if you can keep blocking everything with just ocular powers!"
Clenching his teeth in frustration, Toneri once again remotely activated the violet Tenseigan, unleashing an even more brutal assault.
At that moment, the technique Gakuya had activated was Kamui.
Through intense training and the power of Sage Mode, he had reconstructed his body—enabling him to simultaneously wield both the Tenseigan and Mangekyō Sharingan.
More than that, he had skillfully distributed his Sharingan's ocular power into his new eyes, achieving an unprecedented feat: simultaneous activation of both the Tenseigan and Mangekyō.
The violet Tenseigan charged again, firing another beam of concentrated golden energy. It tore through Gakuya once more, piercing the moon's shell with frightening precision.
Down below in the ninja world, countless people looked up toward the moon, where a blinding light burst forth in the sky.
"Someone's fighting on the moon? There are aliens out there?!"
"Are we about to get invaded by aliens or something?!"
Panic spread rapidly across the world as people speculated, their voices filled with fear and confusion.
But Gakuya gave Toneri no time to fire off another Golden Tenseigan Blast.
He had already reached the sealing stone.
Canceling his intangibility, he struck the stone with a Truth-Seeking Orb. The impact shattered it, revealing a violet Tenseigan the size of a basketball hidden inside.
Without hesitation, Gakuya activated the forbidden technique—Bloodline Seizure—as inky-black flesh engulfed the violet Tenseigan, devouring it whole.
In an instant, immense ocular power surged into his eyes. He could feel the Tenseigan's energy roaring within him.
He took a deep breath, focusing all his attention on stabilizing the overwhelming force.
With the shift of a single thought, the Tenseigan's power began to flow outward, warping the time and space around him.
His deep ocean-blue Tenseigan now radiated an eerie, unsettling brilliance. The color began to change, gradually deepening—like a mystical force corrupting its hue.
Blue faded into a profound, cosmic purple—an otherworldly gaze that seemed capable of seeing through all things in existence.
Then, without warning, images began flashing across Gakuya's vision.
Scene after scene, countless futures played before him, like a reel of possibilities being projected straight into his soul.
"Hahaha! I... I can see the future now!"
Even the ever-composed Gakuya couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In truth, his eyes had always occasionally given him fleeting glimpses of what was to come—but back then, he had no control over the strange ability.
But now?
Now, everything had changed.
Now, he could effortlessly see ten seconds into the future—a passive skill he could wield at will.
And if he chose to expend a bit more ocular energy, he could peer even further, into the far reaches of time.
As his laughter faded, Gakuya looked toward the sky—toward the golden sun looming overhead, created by the Golden Tenseigan.
That's where Toneri and the golden eye now resided.
The chakra burning around Gakuya's body shifted from bright blue to deep purple. Then, like a comet streaking through the void, he launched himself at the artificial sun.
He pierced its blazing outer shell without resistance and burst into its interior.
Landing firmly within, Gakuya's gaze immediately locked onto the massive floating castle and the Hamura Shrine inside.
Wasting no time, he flew straight toward the shrine where the Golden Tenseigan was hidden—where Toneri was hiding.
He could also vaguely sense a sealed presence within—none other than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself.
Gakuya's heart sank.
He noticed the golden Tenseigan inside the shrine shrinking rapidly, while Toneri waited beside it with a crazed expression.
Picking up speed, Gakuya surged forward. But suddenly, wave after wave of puppets poured from the shrine, hurling themselves at him in suicidal attacks.
But none of them could withstand even a moment against his Truth-Seeking Orbs—they were obliterated instantly, torn apart like paper in a storm.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The time Gakuya had spent merging with the violet Tenseigan had cost him dearly.
A moment later, a silver storm erupted—an apocalyptic whirlwind of annihilation tearing through everything in its path, bearing down on Gakuya with devastating force.
Not daring to be careless, Gakuya immediately summoned a protective shield of Truth-Seeking Orbs, concentrating every ounce of chakra into his defense.
The silver tornado slammed into his barrier, driving him backward relentlessly. He was forced through the moon's surface and into open space before the storm finally subsided.
As the onslaught died down, Gakuya dismissed his shield—and saw Toneri slowly emerge from the Hamura Shrine.
In his right eye socket gleamed the golden Tenseigan.
"So you really did complete the fusion...?"
Gakuya was surprised at first—but then noticed the constant drain of chakra and life force flowing from Toneri's body.
A hint of disdain crept into Gakuya's voice.
"You're just forcing control with Ōtsutsuki bloodline and chakra, huh?"
Toneri's current state could be summed up in a single phrase: a cornered beast making its last stand.
"To kill you... and destroy the shinobi world... that's more than enough!"
His voice was maniacal, deranged.
He knew he wouldn't live much longer—but he was determined to take Gakuya down with him and fulfill his mission.
