Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 279 Reincarnation Eye Chakra Mode
Lightning collided with the azure blade of light, and in the next instant, a huge cross-shaped trench was left on the surface of the moon.

"That was close!" Naruto was sweating profusely. He and Sasuke had used all their skills in this attack, but they almost lost.

However, more attacks followed!

One of the golem's shoulder eyes flashed—countless fine chakra rays with spatial cutting properties rained down like a storm!

An eye on his chest turned—the lunar surface beneath Susanoo's feet suddenly transformed into a quicksand-like trap, its immense gravity attempting to engulf it!

The eyes on the wings behind him lit up—several huge, space-distorting azure chains appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the limbs of the armored Susanoo!
"Damn it! This is never going to end!" Naruto roared, and the giant chakra blade in his Susanoo-armored hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, "Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken!"

In the giant Nine-Tails' hand, several Tailed Beast Balls suddenly condensed. Then, under the influence of the wind-style Sage Mode chakra inputted by Naruto, these pure chakra spheres began to transform into sharp wind blades. After Naruto threw them out one after another, Sasuke also coated their surfaces with a layer of black lightning with the ability to annihilate matter.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
The lunar surface was completely transformed into the epicenter of an energy storm! The combined chakra of the two clashes with the azure energy of the Tenseigan, annihilating and exploding in a frenzy! Each collision triggered a massive collapse of the lunar surface, completely clearing away the suspended stone spheres! Under the radiance of the enormous Tenseigan, a purple-gold giant wielded a blade of destruction, engaging in a fierce battle beyond mortal comprehension with an azure monster covered in eyes that manipulated space and chaotic energy!

The Susanoo's attacks remained ferocious and unparalleled. Each slash of the chakra giant blade left deep cracks on the crystallized body of the Reincarnation Golem, even severing the tips of several newly formed claws or wings of light. The explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken could instantly clear away a large area of ​​incoming light.

But the Reincarnation Golem's regenerative abilities and attack frequency were even more terrifying! The cleavage that had been cut healed instantly under the azure light, and the severed parts rapidly grew into more distorted shapes. Countless eyeballs, like relentless cannons, unleashed all sorts of incomprehensible attacks, and the attack patterns were constantly changing and evolving! Although the armored Susanoo's defense was strong, under the relentless and bizarre attacks, fine cracks gradually appeared on the purple-gold chakra armor, and the light began to flicker unsteadily.

"This guy... his power seems inexhaustible!" Naruto felt the intense drain on the Nine-Tails' chakra, and maintaining his armored form to fight against this level of attack was extremely difficult.

"It's that giant eye that's providing the power!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was locked on the enormous Tenseigan floating above like a god. "If we don't sever its connection with the Golem, we'll be worn down!"

"Understood! Then let's figure out a way to take down that big light bulb!" Naruto's eyes flashed with determination.

With their minds in sync, the two unleashed their full power in their Susanoo armor, withstanding several spatial cutting rays. The massive chakra blade was raised high, its target the giant Tenseigan!
“Foolish! All your actions are futile within my domain!” the shepherd’s icy voice rang out.

The largest eye on the chest of the Reincarnation Golem suddenly lit up! An irresistible, terrifying repulsive force that covered the entire battlefield erupted instantly!
The imposing Susanoo seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of sighs, its massive momentum abruptly halted! Not only that, the entire purple-gold giant was violently pushed backward by this repulsive force, crashing heavily into the wall of a distant crater!

Rumble——! ! !
The crater had collapsed in half! The armored Susanoo was trapped deep in the rubble, its chakra armor groaning under the strain, the cracks widening rapidly!
"Ugh!" Naruto and Sasuke felt a violent shock at the same time, and the consumption and backlash of chakra caused them to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The demonic golem hovered within a pillar of azure light, its countless eyes coldly watching the repelled enemy, emitting a silent mockery. Its wounds healed once more in the light, and even its severed claws and wings of light regrowed, becoming even more ferocious.

"Do you see that? Before absolute power, your so-called bonds are nothing but the mournful cries of a dying man." Shiren stood atop the golem's head, looking down upon it as if it were an ant. "The next strike will reduce you, along with this eyesore, to dust on the moon!"

The colossal Reincarnation Statue began to gather power, all its eyes shining with a blinding light, its target locked on the armored Susanoo embedded deep within the mountain wall! A destructive energy powerful enough to tear space apart was gathering at its core!
Naruto and Sasuke struggled to control their Susanoo armor as they stood up from the rubble. Although the purple-gold light had dimmed considerably, it still burned stubbornly.

Even the Nine-Tails, its eyes filled with solemnity as it watched the destructive energy gathering, uttered, "Damn it, if only I didn't only have half my power left..."

Although the thing in front of him looked strong, Kurama was confident that if it were his full power, plus the armor given to him by this Uchiha brat, he could easily defeat it. However, after Minato Namikaze took away half of his chakra with a single Reaper Death Seal, he could only suffer a setback here.

"Damn Minato Namikaze, you never thought your choices would one day backfire on your own son, did you?" Kurama gritted his teeth as he stood up, leaning on his sword.

……

"So, ancestor, what brings you here? My companions are still fighting outside." Neji had no good feelings towards this person who suddenly approached him using such peculiar methods, claiming to be his ancestor. Especially after Uchiha Touko reshaped his worldview, Neji no longer held any sway over these self-proclaimed sages. If it weren't for the other party's incomprehensible methods, making it difficult for him to confront them for the time being, Neji would have already shown the other party the essence of the Nakagawa Theological Symposium. After all, the last shrine maiden who pretended to be a charlatan in front of them was still studying at the Nakagawa Theological Symposium.

"Child, don't worry, time is frozen here." Ōtsutsuki Hamura sensed that Neji might not be very friendly towards him, but he still said it without much concern.

"I have seen what you have gone through. I am sorry. I did not know that the protective technique I left for you would develop into what it is today. Both your branch in the ninja world and the branch of guardians on the moon have suffered greatly."

"A protective technique?" Neji frowned upon hearing this. "You mean the Caged Bird Technique?"

“Yes, my original intention was to prevent my descendants’ bloodline from being coveted. But what I didn’t expect was that you, both on the moon and in the ninja world, used this as a basis to add a cursed seal to control others,” sighed Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

"So, what were the original caged birds like?" Neji asked with some curiosity.

“Unlike my brother’s descendants, who all possess great power, the two clans that inherited my bloodline have different strengths. One clan possesses combat abilities comparable to those of the Ashura and Indra descendants, while the other clan, which is you, only inherited my Byakugan. Although the Byakugan, after evolving, possesses power that is no less than theirs, achieving this requires extremely high talent. Furthermore, the other characteristics of the Byakugan are destined to make it an object of covetousness for others. Therefore, in order to protect you, I passed down the first technique. This technique allows the Byakugan to self-destruct after leaving the body, but it also locks in the possibility of the Byakugan evolving.”

“My original intention was to let the talented children of your clan pursue the path of evolution, while those with average talent would be protected by this technique so that they wouldn’t be killed or have their eyes stolen. However, what I didn’t expect was that whether you were in the ninja world or the branch I arranged to guard the seal on the moon, you all ended up on the same path,” said Otsutsuki Hamura.

“That’s inevitable,” Neji said expressionlessly.

"Hamura Otsutsuki's expression darkened somewhat. "Because even geniuses have children," Neji said.

“Yes, even geniuses have children,” sighed the village chief, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"On the moon, only this one descendant remains, but he has gone astray," said Hamura Otsutsuki. "I still possess a power that can elevate your vision to a higher level."

"So, what do I need to do?" Neji asked, frowning. Of course, Neji knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he asked cautiously in response to the other party's suggestion.

"I hope you can stop that child outside, after all, the moon can't withstand any more disturbances," said Hamura Otsutsuki. "And, to be honest, I hope you can lead your clan onto a completely new path."

"This is what I should do," Neji said in a deep voice.

"Stretch out your hand." Ōtsutsuki Hamura smiled as he looked at his descendant, a descendant who had suffered greatly as a child from the caged bird, but who, after breaking free of the cage, thought of holding an umbrella for his clansmen who had suffered the same fate.

Neji nodded and extended his hand.

……

Outside, just as the Gedo Mazo was about to unleash its power after charging up, Neji, who was behind Naruto and Sasuke, suddenly opened his eyes.

A white beam of light shot out from behind the two of them and struck the giant Tenseigan in the sky.

Neji slowly approached the two of them, his state extremely unusual:
The once pure Byakugan now revealed complex and profound azure patterns deep within its pupils, resembling Toneri's Tenseigan! However, these patterns were more restrained and pure, radiating a gentle yet undeniable majesty—a sign of the Tenseigan's awakening!

The moment he awoke, he clearly sensed the existence of the giant Tenseigan and Toneri's brutal and destructive manipulation of it. At that moment, he seemed to hear the lamentations of his distant lunar relatives who had been used as feed for this giant Tenseigan for so many years.

The pure white beam of light struck the surface of the giant Tenseigan with pinpoint accuracy!

Om-! ! !
There was no explosion, no impact. The raging azure light of the giant Reincarnation Eye suddenly froze, and then, as if a fierce conflict had occurred within it! The energy flow that had been steadily supplied to the Reincarnation Golem became chaotic and intermittent!
"No! Impossible!" Shiren exclaimed in shock. He felt his absolute control over the giant Tenseigan being forcibly divided and interfered with! "A mere ant in the ninja world, and from a branch family no less... yet he awakened the Tenseigan? And dares to covet our clan's treasure?!"

The destructive energy gathering at the core of the Reincarnation Golem fluctuated violently due to unstable power supply, forcing it to temporarily halt its attack.

"Neji?!" Naruto was both surprised and delighted, almost unable to believe his eyes.

“Those eyes… are similar to this guy’s, but the feeling… is completely different!” Sasuke’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan keenly captured the pure and powerful eye power in Neji’s eyes.

Neji ignored Toneri's roar and unleashed an unprecedented aura. He formed hand seals, and his awakened Tenseigan emitted a pure azure light, resonating with the giant Tenseigan at a deeper level!
Neji's voice carried a power that pierced the soul: "The power of the Tenseigan should not bring destruction, but protection and purification!"

"Stop...!" Toneri erupted in rage, unable to tolerate his greatest asset being undermined. He instantly detached himself from the golem's head, transforming into a blinding streak of azure light, hurtling straight at Neji! "Desecrator! I will end you with my own hands!"

"Neji, watch out!" Naruto shouted.

However, Neji remained remarkably calm in the face of Toneri's thunderous attack. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing Toneri.

"Tenseigan Chakra Mode - Activated!"

boom!
Pure, vast, and moonlit pale white chakra erupted from Neji's body like a volcanic eruption! Instantly forming a magnificent, flowing, pure white chakra cloak covering his entire body! The cloak was adorned with mysterious blue tomoe patterns, and several jet-black Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him! His hair stood on end in the chakra, turning azure blue, and his entire aura became sacred and ethereal, forming a stark contrast to Toneri's aggressive azure chakra mode!

Pure white against azure! Protection against destruction! A fateful duel between the Tenseigan of the same origin!

"What?!" Toneri's pupils contracted sharply. Not only had Neji awakened the Tenseigan, but he could also activate Chakra Mode so skillfully?! This overturned his understanding!

boom! ! !
Toneri's fist, imbued with destructive power, slammed heavily into Neji's raised palm! The expected crushing defeat did not occur. Instead, the violent azure energy collided violently with the seemingly gentle yet incredibly tough pure white chakra shield in Neji's palm, unleashing a deafening roar and a terrifying shockwave!

The lunar surface beneath their feet suddenly collapsed!
"Damn it!" Sheren roared, his Reincarnation Eyes blazing with blue light, "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

A massive silver chakra halo instantly formed, blasting towards Neji, who was right in front of him, with the power to shatter everything!
Neji neither dodged nor evaded; the magatama patterns on his pure white chakra cloak lit up: "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
