Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

This is exactly what he expected.

"Sigh, it's best not to be too arrogant."

Seeing that Toneri was still so arrogant, the Uchiha clone sighed.

When Toneri heard the Uchiha clone's advice, he was unconvinced, because he still didn't believe that the enemy in front of him had a chance to defeat him.

On this moon, he is invincible.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he roared, "How dare you!"

As he spoke, a dozen chakra beads instantly appeared on his left hand, then transformed into a giant golden chakra light sword that slashed towards the Tengu Samurai.

The Tengu Samurai formed from Susanoo Perfect Form was instantly cut in two, just like that from the Uchiha clone.

However, the attack that the Uchiha clone had just unleashed with all its might, controlling the Tengu Samurai, was already complete.

With a single strike, a massive blue chakra slash appeared instantly, cutting through layers of earth as easily as slicing tofu, and rapidly slashing in a certain direction.

That direction was precisely where the giant purple Tenseigan was located.

The giant purple Tenseigan is Toneri's source of power, but also his greatest weakness.

This was something the Uchiha clone had planned before entering the moon. His purpose in coming here as the vanguard was to capture this giant purple Tenseigan. If he found that he couldn't do it, he would destroy it.

Anyway, there are two giant Tenseigan on the moon, so he only needs one of them.

With Ōtsubo Toneri guarding that giant purple Tenseigan, it's definitely not going to be easy to obtain.

Indeed, this was the case. This Ōtōki Toneri was far more troublesome than he had imagined. If this person hadn't deliberately used him as a practice subject and hadn't shown great contempt for him, he probably wouldn't have even had the chance to launch a sneak attack on that giant purple Tenseigan.

Fortunately, he seized the opportunity.

"Damn it! You think you can get away with this?"

As the giant blue sword light hurtled towards him with unstoppable force, Shiren clapped his hands together and began to manipulate the giant Tenseigan to use some kind of ability that could absorb chakra.

All his abilities were bestowed by the giant purple Tenseigan. The abilities he could use when entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode were naturally also available to the giant purple Tenseigan, except that the latter was unconscious and needed him to operate it.

However, when he successfully manipulated the giant purple Tenseigan to absorb chakra and successfully absorbed the incoming chakra slash, a sharp blade formed from lightning chakra pierced his chest, the tip of the sword going through his heart.

"I told you not to be so arrogant."

The voice of the Uchiha clone then appeared behind Toneri.

Upon hearing this voice, Shiren's face contorted in rage. He then tried to endure the excruciating pain and use the repulsive force associated with his Tenseigan to forcefully knock away the Uchiha clone behind him.

"How could this be? My chakra."

The next moment, an incredulous expression appeared on Toneri's face. He discovered that he could no longer use chakra.

At the same time, his connection with the giant purple Tenseigan was rapidly severing, causing him to experience fear for the first time.

"Can't you use your chakra anymore? That's because you've been hit by my sealing technique. You're still too naive and young. You have power, but you're so innocent and arrogant. Didn't your elders teach you the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit?"

The Uchiha clone taunted, then sped up, using the chakra chains formed by the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind Toneri Otsutsuki even tighter.

"Ugh, you won't succeed. Die with me."

The man was taught a lesson by the Uchiha clone. Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, he felt a surge of defiance and resolutely declared.

If it weren't for the responsibility left to him by his clan, he, as the last descendant of the Great Tongmu clan on the moon, would have long since given up on life. Now, with the invasion of foreign enemies, he can take the enemy down with him and die together, which can be considered a worthy death.

Therefore, relying on his continued connection with the giant purple Tenseigan, he decisively attempted to break the self-destruct seal inside the giant purple Tenseigan.

Once this seal is broken, the giant purple Tenseigan will immediately self-destruct. With the power contained within the giant purple Tenseigan, its destructive force is enough to destroy the entire moon.

By then, whatever the enemy's objective may be, it will all be in vain.

Soon, time passed second by second.

Why didn't it self-destruct?

The servant was taken aback.

He had clearly lifted the self-destruct seal on the giant purple Tenseigan, so why hasn't it self-destructed after so much time?

He wanted an answer, but his connection with the giant purple Tenseigan had been completely severed, and he was plunged into darkness, unable to see anything.

Meanwhile, at the location of the giant purple Tenseigan, a person with a pair of extremely pure Byakugan stood beside it. Several blue chakra chains emanating Sage Chakra fluctuations bound the giant purple Tenseigan, firmly stabilizing the restless chakra within it.

Not far from him was a kunai with the Flying Thunder God mark engraved on its surface.

"It really was a close call. Fortunately, the space-time tunnel has stabilized. Otherwise, given the distance between the ninja world and the moon, even if we used up all of the Five-Tails' chakra, it wouldn't have been enough to teleport us here using the Flying Thunder God Technique."

The White Zetsu clone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the giant purple Tenseigan in front of it had stabilized.

The Uchiha clones fought against Toneri. At the beginning, due to the interference of the space-time channel, Kirito's main body on Earth temporarily lost contact with the Uchiha clones.

Fortunately, Toneri held back while fighting the Uchiha clone, allowing the spacetime portal to stabilize again. Kirito and the Uchiha clone re-established contact through the portal and quickly devised the plan they had just discussed.

The plan is to use the Uchiha clone himself and the complete Susanoo as a decoy to launch a sneak attack on the giant purple Tenseigan, forcing Toneri to be distracted in order to save the giant purple Tenseigan. Then, the Uchiha clone, who has activated Izanagi again, will launch another sneak attack on Toneri.

At the same time, the White Zetsu clone also came to provide support through the space-time tunnel. After the Uchiha clone released a chakra slash, it threw a kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God mark and quickly approached the giant purple Tenseigan. The two worked together to suppress Toneri and the giant purple Tenseigan with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, severing the connection between them.

In this way, both Otsutsuki Toneri and the giant purple Tenseigan fell into his possession.

Chapter 336: The Reincarnation Eye

"It's a really beautiful thing, but it's just as deadly as the Rinnegan."

Looking at the giant purple Tenseigan emitting a faint purple light in the darkness, the White Zetsu clone couldn't help but sigh as he felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes.

After a long period of integration, the Byakugan on his body had long since merged with his White Zetsu body, becoming one with it.

This is understandable. In terms of blood kinship, the White Zetsu, who possesses the cells of the Divine Tree and Hashirama, might be closer to the Otsutsuki clan than the Hyuga clan in the ninja world and the clan on the moon. Taming the Byakugan and gaining the approval of the giant purple Tenseigan in front of them would be no problem at all.

Yes, after Otsutsuki Toneri lost contact with the giant purple Tenseigan, he immediately sensed an "invitation" from the giant eye in front of him, which was instinctively trying to establish some kind of connection with his Byakugan.

The White Zetsu clone did not readily accept this enthusiastic 'invitation'; he needed to find out if it was poisonous.

Because the giant purple Tenseigan in front of him was just like the Rinnegan in his memory. Although it possessed incredibly powerful eye power, it also concealed deep darkness within. If he rashly absorbed the eye power within it, he might suffer a backlash.

Soon after, a memory from Otsutsuki Toneri entered the mind of the White Zetsu clone through the soul connection channel, allowing him to quickly understand the toxicity of the giant purple Tenseigan's enthusiastic 'invitation'.

Clearly, the toxicity is quite potent.

According to Toneri Otsutsuki's memories, any Otsutsuki clan member outside the moon who connected with the giant Tenseigan would have their chakra rapidly drained.

The reason for this is that the giant Tenseigan contains the collective will of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

"That's true. It was originally something that someone else obtained by fusing a lot of Byakugan. How could they allow outsiders to obtain this treasure? Sure enough, there are restrictions on its use."

The white-haired clone sighed.

Then, he bit his right index finger, smeared the blood on his left palm, and then used his psychic powers.

A cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared, and a black serpent monster wearing a hideous white mask appeared in front of the White Zetsu clone. The creature that was summoned was Zero-Tail.

At this time, Zero-Tails had grown much larger, about a third the size of a tailed beast. It contained a huge amount of dark chakra, so it exuded a dangerous aura.

It is evident that Zero-Tails, as the dark transferor and tool tailed beast of the Rinnegan, has received considerable benefits from Kirito during this period.

Zero-Tails was a little dazed after being summoned, because it didn't recognize the White Zetsu clone. However, this did not prevent it from feeling a more deadly danger from the White Zetsu clone than from the Uchiha clone.

Therefore, it readily admitted defeat, displaying a submissive posture in front of the White Zetsu clone, bowing its head and prostrating itself on the ground.

"Alright, hurry up and get to work. 'Purify' the darkness in this big eye. You can do it with your current abilities, right?"

The White Zetsu clone ignored Zero-Tail's feigned submissiveness and urged him on.

He knew perfectly well what kind of person Zero was. The more submissive he acted now, the more terrifying the backlash would be when he gained power in the future.

But it doesn't matter. He won't let this dangerous Zero-Tailed Beast go unchecked. Sooner or later, he'll find a time to tear it to pieces, seal it away, or exile it to other worlds using an unstable spacetime portal.

Upon hearing the White Zetsu clone's words, Zero-Tails immediately shifted its gaze to the giant purple Tenseigan, its small eyes finally revealing the greed it had been hiding for so long.

As soon as it was summoned here, it immediately discovered that the giant eye contained its favorite food, and the quantity was quite enormous, much larger than the purple eye it had seen before.

What's most remarkable is that this giant eye seems much less dangerous than the purple eye. Although the giant eye contains a lot of darkness, it is of low quality and can be easily absorbed.

It's time for a quick meal.

Zero-tail tentatively extended two black tentacles to entangle the giant purple Tenseigan. Finding that the giant eye did not resist much, it immediately began to feast, extending more black tentacles to entangle the giant purple Tenseigan.

In an instant, Zero-Tail's numerous tentacles began to expand and contract. As time went on, its already enormous size gradually grew larger, and the dark chakra contained within it became increasingly vast.

On the other side, one by one, Konoha ninjas were entering the moon through a time-space portal. Uchiha Chizuru and Hyuga Karen were among them, and the two quickly assumed the identities of Uchiha clones.

Regarding the identity of the Uchiha clone, Kirito has always stated publicly that he is his puppet.

This statement did not arouse any doubt, because he himself was an excellent puppeteer and puppet maker.

"Looks like you've been through a tough battle."

Looking at the devastated battlefield with its numerous ravines, Chizuru immediately realized that a terrifying battle had just taken place.

Then, her gaze shifted to Otsutsuki Toneri.

"Yes, this guy is very strong. It took me a lot of effort to defeat him. If he hadn't been so arrogant and inexperienced in combat, I might have had to pay a heavy price to defeat him."

The Uchiha clone nodded.

"Kirito-sama, who is he? He feels very familiar to me, just like my clansmen."

Hinata Karen looked at Otsutsuki Toneri, who had completely lost consciousness, and asked in confusion.

Upon entering the moon, she immediately activated her Byakugan to investigate and discovered numerous buildings resembling those of the Hyuga clan's territory. Furthermore, she noticed a giant eye nearby that made her feel as if she had encountered a natural enemy.

"He calls himself Otsutsuki Toneri. Through memory search, he is the last living person here. By the way, he is a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura. He was from the same clan as your Hyuga clan thousands of years ago, but he came here to live with the Otsutsuki clan thousands of years ago."

And this is precisely the moon that has always hung above the ninja world.

Kirito trusts the two of them and reveals some important information.

As expected, both of them showed shocked expressions upon hearing Kirito's explanation, especially Karen, who lowered her head, activated her Byakugan, and stared intently at Toneri, trying to find any similarities between them.

Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and the appearances of the two branches of Hamura descendants have become vastly different, except for the Byakugan.

"Otsutsuki Hamura, so that's what your ancestor's name was. Everyone here has the surname Otsutsuki. So, they respect their ancestors more than your Hyuga clan."

Qianhe teased.

"Kirito-sama, there's a huge yellow eye in that place, and it gives me a very dangerous feeling."

Karen ignored Chizuru's teasing and turned to Kirito.
