Naruto: Linked to Kaguya, Corrupting the Ninja World

[Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms]

Under Hiashi's gradually widening gaze, 'Toneri' performed [Eight Trigrams Palm Techniques] of the Hyuga clan.

Hamura froze for a moment.

Just as he lost focus, 'Toneri's fingertips gathered chakra into a sword-like finger projection, striking his acupoints.

Struck by the Point Striking technique, Hamura felt mixed emotions.

He glanced at the blindfolded 'Toneri,' struggling to comprehend how he had mastered the Hyuga techniques.

Even if he memorized the body's acupoint chart, without eyes, how could he locate the points precisely?

"I can take you to see the Tenseigan," said 'Toneri' after the battle ended.

Without waiting for a response, he strode forward.

Hamura and Hinata exchanged glances, cradling Hanabi, then followed behind.

Inside an unfamiliar shrine, warm yellow radiance illuminated the entire interior.

When they approached within several meters of the large yellow Tenseigan, 'Toneri' stopped and turned toward the two.

"This is the Tenseigan."

Hamura examined it carefully.

Initially, he couldn't understand why this big yellow sphere would be called an eye.

After realizing exactly what it was, his expression kept changing.

"All those eyes inside—are they all Byakugan?"

Innumerable Byakugan were pieced together densely, appearing extremely horrifying and awe-inspiring.

Hinata paled slightly.

Responding to Hamura's question, 'Toneri' nodded. "Correct."

"The evolution method for Byakugan...could it really be..." Hamura struggled to accept this.

"This is merely the crudest approach," 'Toneri' shook his head. "If a Byakugan possesses sufficient purity, it can evolve normally into a true Tenseigan."

"These eyes belong to people whose vision lacked excellence; therefore, they can only serve as materials for fusing into the colossal Tenseigan."

"As far as I know, the Hyuga Main House maintains even stricter marriage criteria than the Branch House does. Thus, every generation produces Main House heirs whose eyes are purer than those from the Branch members."

"Hinata has such potential. Her eyes can reach that level of perfection."

Hamura remained deeply unsettled.

Thinking about the Caged Bird seal, he couldn't help feeling that this system indeed had its reasons.

The Tenseigan contained not just immense power, but also a terrible burden.

Once outsiders discovered the method of evolving the grand Tenseigan, the Hyuga might face extermination.

"How exactly do you plan to help Hinata evolve her Byakugan?" Hamura eyed 'Toneri' suspiciously.

"Didn't I just explain? Don't worry—I'll return her eyes to her."

Hamura fell silent.

There was no clear advantage in this for him—what possible motive could he have?

Without realizing it, Hamura recalled what Hinata had described happening earlier.

Could this guy actually consider Hinata his future bride already?

The moment he thought this, Hamura instantly felt annoyed, disregarding the fact that he'd just been struck by an acupoint technique—he immediately assumed a fighting stance again, full of anger.

"You're still set on pursuing Hinata, aren't you?"

Hinata became visibly embarrassed.

Toneri seemed equally uneasy.

All of that was Satori's fault. What does that have to do with me?

"I suppose I've already told you my goal," he said indifferently. "I want to reverse this flawed world. The Hyuga and the Otsutsuki clans share the same origin. If possible, I don't want to become your enemy."

After a moment's thought, he continued calmly, "If you want her eyes to evolve, come find me on the Moon anytime."

Evolving the Tenseigan wouldn't be something that happens overnight. With Hinata staying here for no apparent reason, Hiashi might cause some trouble.

It'd be better to wait until my main body arrives and handle things together then.

Hiashi stood there silently for a moment before asking, "Then how are we supposed to return?"

"The lake you came through originally was actually a hidden time-space jutsu array. Passing through it can transport you between the Moon and Earth."

Hiashi didn't reply immediately. He looked at him deeply for a moment, then turned around and departed, taking Hinata and Hanabi with him.

At the same time, Hiroki had already arrived on the Moon.

Finding an empty space, he immediately started forming hand seals.

[Summoning Jutsu!]

With a loud puff of smoke, the all-black Satori appeared.

"To prevent you from running around causing chaos, you'll be staying here from now on."

Satori flapped his wings and glanced at the surroundings, but didn't say anything.

"I should've brought the Box of Ultimate Bliss over here too," Kaguya spoke up.

"You didn't mention it earlier," Hiroki sighed.

After installing the pair of Double Tomoe Sharingan eyes into 'Toneri', he had to travel back through the Lunar Rift to the Land of Hot Springs again.

Meanwhile, Hiashi and the others were already on their way back to Konoha.

"Hinata, what happened in the village while I was away..."

"After you left..." Hinata gathered her thoughts and began recounting the events.

After installing the eyes into his sockets, 'Toneri' immediately felt much better.

"This feels more natural. Relying only on sensory abilities without actual vision was really inconvenient. It seems like during Satori's life, he must have been taken care of entirely by puppets."

Entering Satori's castle, he began going through preserved records.

"I see… After witnessing Hayato's power, Hamura also started researching ways to improve himself."

[Just saying, I've been using Wild Fruit Reader lately for book updates—multiple voice options available. Compatible with both Android and iOS.]

"He researched a method to evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan. Unfortunately, his lifespan was nearing its end at that time, so he recorded all of this information."

"Later Otsutsuki Clan members learned about these things. After discovering the extremely high requirements for evolving the Byakugan, they began seeking alternative methods…"

"A quantitative change leading to qualitative transformation—simply fusing enough Byakugan eyes could also result in forming a Tenseigan."

"A group of Otsutsuki Clan members secretly left the Moon, while those remaining Otsutsuki still on the Moon experienced repeated conflicts due to ideological differences."

"Toneri was born without the Byakugan, yet possessed the purest bloodline of the Otsutsuki…"

A continuous rumbling sound approached. Looking outside, 'Toneri' saw...

Satori flying back and forth, causing destruction everywhere, leaving the ground pitted and uneven.

'Toneri' slightly frowned, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

Even though he wasn't inside Hamura Shrine at the moment, the Yellow Giant Tenseigan appeared vividly in his mind. Somehow, something had linked him to it.

A thick golden beam of light shot out from within Hamura Shrine, striking Satori directly.

Satori fell to the ground with a gaping hole torn through his chest, frantically looking around in panic.

"What the hell is going on? Who's attacking me?"

Meanwhile, Hiroki finally returned to the Moon with the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Satori hurriedly climbed into the Box of Ultimate Bliss on his own.

"The Box of Ultimate Bliss is really hard to carry around," Hiroki said bitterly while staring at the box lying on the ground.

"This item is somewhat useful. Let's leave it here for now," Kaguya said.

On their way toward the Castle, they passed through an area scattered with numerous crumbling stone statues.

Hiroki found himself staring a little longer than intended.

"Mother?" An aged and unfamiliar male voice called out, as a hazy male apparition suddenly appeared.
