In the vast, boundless expanse of space, two figures stood suspended in midair—Hyuga Gakuya and Toneri. Their overwhelming chakra surged and clashed in waves, rippling through the void around them.
Down below, across the entire Shinobi World, every eye was fixed on the sky, captivated by the awe-inspiring scene unfolding above. Against the backdrop of the moon, two tiny black silhouettes hovered in confrontation.
All the major hidden villages scrambled to bring out their most advanced space telescopes, trying to get a clearer view of the battle.
Yet, limited by their technology, they could only just make out two humanoid figures locked in a standoff. Any further detail was lost in blur and distortion.
"Let's see how you handle this," Gakuya murmured, lifting his hand slightly.
With a subtle motion, his eight Truth-Seeking Orbs gathered together and began fusing, forming a dazzling sphere of radiant energy.
Clenching the orb tightly, Gakuya released a torrent of raw power from his palm. A blinding golden beam burst forth, illuminating the surrounding space. The light blazed like a miniature sun, intense enough to scorch the eyes of anyone who dared to look directly at it.
Not to be outdone, Toneri answered with his own show of power. Golden chakra flames surged around him, his body now wreathed in searing light.
The ten Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him merged simultaneously, releasing a radiance even more intense than Gakuya's.
A frenzied light danced in Toneri's eyes as he gathered his strength with all his might.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Their voices rang out in perfect unison. At the same time, the two unleashed their devastating golden beams, each attack carrying immeasurable destructive force.
Like twin dragons roaring through the cosmos, the golden rays streaked across space and collided head-on with unimaginable speed.
The shockwave that followed rocked the very fabric of the void. Space itself seemed to twist and writhe under the force of their clash.
And from the world below, all who witnessed it would remember the moment for the rest of their lives. Though it was night, the golden light bathed the entire world in a glow like dusk, as if the sun had risen once more.
Gakuya, wielding the power of a pair of violet Tenseigan, held his own effortlessly against Toneri's single golden Tenseigan.
Eventually, their attacks began to subside, neither able to gain the upper hand.
As the golden light faded from his vision, Toneri realized that Gakuya had vanished.
In the next instant, Gakuya reappeared right in front of him, his chakra-infused fist slammed into Toneri's chest.
Toneri was sent hurtling backwards like a meteor crashing into the lunar surface. With a deafening crash, his body embedded deep into the moon's crust, sending plumes of dust into the air.
Groaning, Toneri clawed his way out of the crater, staggering to his feet. He wobbled slightly, not from physical injury—but from the crushing weight of defeat.
He had fused with the golden Tenseigan… and yet he still couldn't overcome the man standing before him.
"How… how is this possible…?" he muttered, his voice trembling with disbelief.
Gakuya descended slowly from the sky, landing gracefully on the moon's surface. His gaze was razor sharp, fixed squarely on his opponent.
"Still don't get it?" His voice was cold. "This is the difference between us. I'm strong—stronger than you."
Both of their Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions were still in cooldown, meaning neither could fully activate their Tenseigan powers again for a short time.
Wasting no time, Gakuya summoned the eight Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him. They shot forward like meteorites, hurtling toward Toneri.
At the same time, Gakuya launched himself forward, propelling off the ground like an arrow from a bow.
Toneri's eyes widened. He quickly called back his ten Truth-Seeking Orbs to intercept the incoming assault. The spheres collided in midair with thunderous crashes, locked in a chaotic deadlock.
Before Toneri could react, Gakuya was already in front of him, his fists raining down like a relentless storm. Every strike carried terrifying power.
Gritting his teeth, Toneri fought back, throwing punches of his own to meet Gakuya's assault.
Fists collided hundreds of times in a matter of seconds. Toneri pushed himself to his limits, struggling to keep up with Gakuya's movements—but it was like chasing shadows.
Gakuya's Tenseigan saw through his every move. Toneri's attacks were completely neutralized. Landing even a single hit on Gakuya began to feel impossible.
Gakuya seized an opening and drove a fierce kick into Toneri's stomach, sending him flying once more.
Clutching his midsection, Toneri rose shakily to his feet, bitter frustration boiling inside him.
"Why…? I have the Tenseigan… so why can't I beat you…?"
"The Tenseigan is powerful," Gakuya replied coolly, "but you've never truly mastered it. I've fought countless battles… and I've become one with my Tenseigan."
Even without the violet Tenseigan he recently fused, Toneri wouldn't have stood a chance against him.
Toneri gasped for breath. Deep down, he knew Gakuya was right. His Tenseigan may be more potent in theory—but he lacked the battle experience to unlock its full potential.
Gakuya, on the other hand, had refined his abilities through endless combat. His bond with his Tenseigan was complete. Toneri's rushed fusion with the golden Tenseigan couldn't compare.
"Hand over your eyes," Gakuya said, raising a hand to recall his Truth-Seeking Orbs. They began forming another attack.
This strike—would end it all.
But a wild look flickered in Toneri's eyes. He understood all too well: if this continued, he would never win.
And yet… there was still one chance left. One way to destroy this flawed Shinobi World entirely.
With a sudden surge of power, Toneri directed his orbs to tear apart the moon's crust beneath his feet, creating a massive fissure. Then he darted away at blistering speed—toward the far side of the moon.
...
In the blink of an eye, Toneri had vanished to the moon's dark side.
At the same time, Gakuya's attack finished charging.
His Tenseigan locked precisely onto Toneri's new position, and through his future sight, he saw clearly what Toneri intended to do.
Still, he didn't hold back.
He diverted a bit of attention to use Kamui, sealing away the shrine that imprisoned Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. While the seal itself was of Sage-level and couldn't be destroyed by this attack, Gakuya didn't want to risk any accidents.
The last thing he needed was Kaguya breaking free.
A brilliant golden beam exploded from Gakuya's hand, tearing effortlessly through the moon's crust and rocketing toward Toneri like a divine judgment.
Toneri responded with his own pre-prepared technique, pouring every last ounce of life force and chakra into this final attack.
In an instant, his once-powerful frame shriveled into skin and bones.
Two devastating Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions collided once more—but this time, they were deep inside the hollow moon, with no space for the energy to escape.
It gathered, built up, pressed inward—until it reached a terrifying critical mass.
And then…
The moon exploded.
It shattered like glass under a hammer, fragments of every size erupting in all directions, streaking through space like shooting stars in reverse.
A cataclysmic sight—one that would never be forgotten.
