The Moon.
The descendants of Homura, also known as the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon, lived as usual, similar to their Hyūga counterparts on Earth. Despite the seemingly peaceful farming life, tensions lurked beneath the surface. The main family and branch family had diverged in their attitudes towards the ninja world.
After Homura's death, he left behind a giant Tenseigan, which not only created an atmospheric barrier to protect the descendants' living environment but also served as a surveillance tool for the ninja world and outer space.
Besides surveillance, Homura had tasked his descendants with guarding the moon and overseeing the seal of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
However, when Madara awakened the Rinnegan, the Gedo Statue, which was the husk of the Ten-Tails guarded by Homura's descendants, was summoned to the ninja world.
This event caused a rift among Homura's descendants. The main family advocated for non-interference, while the branch family wanted to descend to the ninja world, retrieve the lost Gedo Statue, and purge the source of chaos.
The conflict between the main and branch families intensified over time, reaching a point of irreconcilability. Internal strife was imminent.
If Kyomu and his team had arrived a few months later, the descendants of Homura, who had lived on the moon for generations, would likely have followed their original path of self-destruction.
However, with Kyomu's arrival, they now needed to unite against an external threat instead of fighting among themselves.
"How did you get here? What is your purpose?"
Kyomu and his team stepped out of the spatial vortex without any intention of hiding, making it normal for them to be discovered.
Tilting his head, Kyomu looked at the scattered descendants of Homura ahead, noticing their Byakugan. He grinned.
"Bring your leader here to see me."
The descendants exchanged glances, with two of them turning and running off, while the others stood their ground, confronting Kyomu and his team without any intention of backing down.
They scrutinized Kyomu and the others, but their gaze didn't linger on Kyomu for long, focusing instead on Obito and Hiashi.
"Uchiha! Hyūga!" The leader of the group spoke coldly. "This is not a place for you, especially not with outsiders."
"Soon, we'll be on the same side," Obito interjected. "Submit or die, it's a simple choice."
"Uchiha, the clan of evil and thieves!" the leader retorted, eyes filled with resentment. "We originally had no quarrel, but you broke the ancestors' agreement and stole the Gedo Statue we guarded for generations!"
"Hmph, since when do the Uchiha need to justify their actions to anyone?" Obito sneered. "If it's lost, it no longer belongs to you."
As the tension between Obito and the descendants of Homura escalated, Hiashi found himself mesmerized by their pure Byakugan.
The Hyūga and the Ōtsutsuki on the moon shared the same origins, both possessing Byakugan, and Hiashi could sense the high purity of their Byakugan, higher than that of the Hyūga clan. Despite their apparent lower status in their clan, their eye purity was exceptional.
"Our clans were one five hundred years ago. If you accept the terms proposed by Ryūkage-sama, we will welcome you," Hiashi stepped forward to mediate, but his stance remained firm.
"Descendants of exiled failures have no right to associate with us!" the leader scoffed. "We are the Ōtsutsuki, while you are not even worthy of inheriting the ancestral name!"
"Is the name Ōtsutsuki really so prestigious?" Kyomu interrupted. "It seems we have nothing to discuss then."
As he spoke, Kyomu's team prepared for battle.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a group of people approached, accompanied by variously shaped and functionally mysterious puppets.
The man who shouted hurriedly made his way to the front, pushing aside the clan members in his path.
"We do not wish to fight you. If there is something you need, we can discuss it."
His words were met with a chorus of angry protests from the clan members behind him.
"Leader!"
"They are invaders!"
"What are you afraid of, Leader!"
Kyomu was also curious, studying the man opposite him. "What are you afraid of?"
"I know you. I've seen you multiple times through the giant Tenseigan. I know you're strong, and I don't want to fight you, but I'm not afraid to. I just worry that our battle might cause irreversible damage to the moon and the seal within."
Kyomu seriously assessed him. "What's your name?"
"Ōtsutsuki Byakuya."
"Byakuya, if we can negotiate to achieve my goal, I'm willing to talk."
Byakuya felt a slight relief.
He wasn't afraid of Kyomu and had the courage to fight him. But a battle with Kyomu would undoubtedly be catastrophic, and the moon might not withstand it. The Ōtsutsuki clan's purpose was to guard the ancestral seal, and having already lost the Gedo Statue, they couldn't afford further mistakes.
"State your purpose," Byakuya said directly.
"I came to acquire some records," Kyomu replied honestly. "All of them, if possible. Copies will do if the originals are unavailable."
"I can agree to that," Byakuya readily agreed.
These records wouldn't benefit Kyomu much and would eventually fall into the hands of the Hyūga clan, so there was no reason to refuse.
Byakuya was clear-minded about certain matters, but most of the clan was furious.
"Leader, why give our records to them!"
"How can you agree to Kyomu's demand just like that? What about our honor?"
"Leader, you're betraying our clan's interests and shaming us!"
"I oppose this!"
Amidst the angry clamor, Kyomu shook his head. "Byakuya, it seems you can't make all the decisions. How can we negotiate if you lack authority? Do you need my help?"
Byakuya's face darkened. "Ryūkage, our clan's issues are ours to solve. You just need to know that I'll fulfill my promise. Now, tell me if you have any other demands!"
"Since you're confident, my second condition is to know how to create a giant Tenseigan," Kyomu glanced around. "And I need the second Tenseigan you've already created."
"You're asking too much!" Byakuya's face grew even darker. "The giant Tenseigan is our clan's foundation and cannot be given to outsiders. It is not a tool for war but a weapon to safeguard the ninja world."
"Leave protecting the ninja world to me; I believe I'm capable," Kyomu said, understanding the implication of Byakuya's words. "But it seems you don't want to agree to this condition."
Byakuya remained silent for a moment before speaking again. "Ryūkage, name another condition. The giant Tenseigan will never be handed over."
"Then there's nothing to discuss," Kyomu said calmly, glancing at the growing crowd behind Byakuya. "Besides, your clansmen seem eager to kill me."
Shing.
With those words, Kyomu drew his sword.
If there was no room for negotiation, he wouldn't waste time. If talking didn't work, fighting was the next step!
A purple blade of light shot forward. Byakuya didn't expect Kyomu to act so decisively and quickly retreated while preparing to counterattack.
Clang, clang, clang.
Metallic clashing sounds rang out as the puppets behind Byakuya combined to form a metal barrier.
Boom!
The purple blade struck the puppet defense, instantly melting it into molten iron, leaving a massive gash.
Unable to hold back!
Byakuya retreated again, his Byakugan glowing. The pure white eyes turned blue, and a beam of light shot from the temple housing the golden giant Tenseigan, enveloping Byakuya in a green glow.
Tenseigan Chakra Mode!
He raised his palms, pushing the incoming purple blade back with Shinra Tensei!
Boom!
An invisible repulsive force exploded, spreading in all directions from Byakuya, shattering the purple blade and dispersing the heat.
Unfortunately, nearby clan members were also caught in the blast, though none were injured, sparing Byakuya from becoming a villain.
Simultaneously, Kyomu flickered forward, using his space-time Kekkei Genkai to evade the repulsive force.
A casual horizontal slash!
Another purple blade shot forward, but Byakuya remained calm.
In Tenseigan Chakra Mode, his body underwent a drastic transformation. His robe changed into the Six Paths robe with six black magatama on the chest and sleeves, and three black Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him. A black staff symbolizing his Six Paths power appeared in his hand.
With a flick of his wrist, Byakuya sent a powerful chakra wave crashing into Kyomu's purple blade.
Boom!
The wave exploded, scattering high temperatures and rippling shockwaves.
As Kyomu prepared his next attack, Obito, Kakashi, Guy, Hiashi, and Kimimaro also sprang into action.
Simultaneously, another elder member of the Ōtsutsuki clan entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
This was an attack on the heart of the Tenseigan!
Unlike the golden Tenseigan left by Homura, the second Tenseigan created by his descendants was purple.
It was this purple Tenseigan that empowered the branch family to rebel and annihilate the main family.
Obito's eyes gleamed as he abandoned the plan to help Kyomu with Byakuya, targeting the other elder instead.
"I don't kill nameless people!" Obito shouted, his eyes morphing into the Mangekyō Sharingan, with a pattern resembling a shuriken spinning rapidly.
"Your killer is Ōtsutsuki Houshi!" Houshi responded, "Uchiha, your Mangekyō Sharingan is nothing before these eyes!"
Obito laughed disdainfully before erupting into a Uchiha-style maniacal laugh.
"Hahaha!" As he laughed, blood tears streamed from his eyes. "Houshi, let me show you the ultimate Uchiha power!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a colossal blue Complete Body Susanoo rose, its wings flapping and stirring up a storm.
Shing.
Houshi twirled his black staff, the Six Paths robe fluttering, and the three Truth-Seeking Balls began spinning rapidly.
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Houshi hurled the spinning Truth-Seeking Balls at the 200-meter-tall Complete Body Susanoo.
In his view, the Susanoo's defense was like paper against the Truth-Seeking Balls.
But Obito's Susanoo wielded a special weapon: Kamui Shuriken!
With his arms crossed, Obito stood in the transparent chamber of the Susanoo, tears of blood flowing.
Synchronously, the Susanoo moved.
With a flap of its wings, the 200-meter-tall Susanoo soared into the air, a black shuriken forming in its hand.
With a single arm swing, the Kamui Shuriken shot forward, colliding with the incoming Truth-Seeking Balls.
Boom!
The explosion was deafening, but the shockwave was immediately swallowed by the swirling space-time vortex, making the aftermath surprisingly mild.
Houshi's blue Tenseigan pupils contracted. His Truth-Seeking Balls had been overpowered by the Kamui Shuriken's spatial power.
"But so what!" Houshi raised his hand, reassembling the shattered Truth-Seeking Balls. "Against these eyes, your ocular jutsu is doomed to fail!"
Obito smirked.
Today, he would use his Kamui to defeat the Tenseigan!
