Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

"I know that. I have already used the mind-to-body technique to warn those who come in not to get close to it. That eye is called the Tenseigan, which has power that is no less than that of the Rinnegan. It should be the evolved form of your Hyuga clan's Byakugan."

Kirito explained.

"Tenseigan, the evolved form of Byakugan."

A power comparable to the Rinnegan!

Upon hearing Kirito's words, the two once again showed expressions of shock.

This time, the two were equally shocked and both developed a strong interest in the Tenseigan.

"Chizuru, you shouldn't even think about the Tenseigan. That giant Tenseigan only recognizes the Otsutsuki clan on the moon. Outsiders who get close to it will have their chakra drained. As for whether the Hyuga clan, who are also descendants of Hamura, can gain its recognition, that's not so clear."

Kirito turned to look at Chizuru, who was already showing an eager expression, and gave her a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Chizuru immediately deflated and complained, "What? There are usage restrictions too? How boring."

She believed Kirito's words without a doubt, and since Kirito had said so, she had no choice but to give up her idea of ​​attacking the giant Tenseigan.

Of course, if the giant Tenseigan could be transplanted, she would try anything.

After all, that's a power that's no less than the Rinnegan.

But that Reincarnation Eye is so big that transplantation is impossible. She can only use some method to drive it. If the conditions for driving it are not met, no matter how hard she tries, it will be in vain.

"Kirito-sama, I want to give it a try."

Hua Lian said longingly.

Ever since Chizuru's Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, the gap between her and Chizuru widened instantly, and no matter how hard she tried to catch up, she still couldn't catch up.

She had considered evolving her Byakugan as well, but there was no precedent for Byakugan evolution in the history of the Hyuga clan.

Although she received a perfect-level enhancement seal from Kirito and her Byakugan was nourished by Sage Mode, showing signs of enhanced and evolved eye power, she is still a long way from completing her evolution.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, her white eyes will never be able to evolve in this lifetime.

But the appearance of the giant Tenseigan has given her hope. If she can control the giant Tenseigan, she might be able to learn the secret of the Byakugan's evolution.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance when we get back."

Kirito agreed without much thought.

He wanted to evolve the Byakugan of the White Zetsu clone into the Tenseigan. One giant Tenseigan was enough. He originally intended for Hua Lian to master the remaining one.

He had witnessed Toneri Otsutsuki's power firsthand. If Karen could gain the approval of the giant yellow Tenseigan controlled by the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, he might become another Toneri Otsutsuki, playing a significant role in the fight against Madara Uchiha.

"Thank you, Kirito-sama."

Upon receiving the promise, Karen was overjoyed and made to hug the Uchiha clone, but Chizuru grabbed her clothes from the side.

"Hmph, even if it's just a puppet, you ungrateful woman, don't even think about getting it for free."

Chizuru sneered inwardly.

Then, ignoring Karen's angry glare, she turned her gaze back to Kirito.

Kirito immediately understood the meaning in Chizuru's eyes and forcibly changed the subject: "Alright, let's go take a look at that giant Tenseigan now."

……

While the Uchiha clone was chatting with the two women, the purification work on the giant purple Tenseigan by the White Zetsu clone was also nearing completion.

At this moment, the giant purple Tenseigan's eyes had lost their previous liveliness and eeriness, becoming dull, but the entire eye had become exceptionally pure and clean, looking like a dazzling, flawless giant pale purple gemstone, which was incredibly captivating.

At the same time, Zero-Tails, having absorbed the enormous darkness from the giant purple reincarnation eye, underwent an astonishing change in size, now approaching that of a tailed beast, and its entire body emanated terrifying chakra fluctuations.

If the White Zetsu clone hadn't immediately activated the sealing barrier to block out the surrounding aura, this place would have already been exposed.

After Zero Tail's power was enhanced, its work efficiency also increased.

After some time, the darkness in the giant purple Tenseigan was finally completely cleared away. Zero-Tails also withdrew all the tentacles that had been binding the giant purple Tenseigan, and then turned his gaze to the White Zetsu clone, his face revealing undisguised greed.

"You really can't change your ways, can you? What? Are you going to hit me?"

Upon seeing this, the white-haired clone sneered.

The next moment, a terrifying surge of Sage Chakra erupted from his body.

In an instant, the White Zetsu clone entered Sage Mode, with a few black spots appearing on its face, its white eyes transforming into giant purple Tenseigan-like miniature forms, its hair turning white, a pair of white horns growing from its head, and its entire body bathed in a blue-gold chakra flame.

He gently clapped his hands, and one after another, huge blue-gold fists descended from the sky, smashing Zero-Tail's mask and body to pieces, and slamming it hard into the ground.

A huge crater appeared on the ground.

Immortal Technique: Twenty Divine Void Strike!

With just one palm strike, Zero-Tail's courage to think it could do it again was shattered. It trembled and curled up in the crater, lowering its head and not daring to look at the White Zetsu clone.

"Spit out the essence, and I'll spare you this time."

The White Zetsu clone ignored Zero-Tail's 'admission' and delivered another powerful Twenty Divine Void Strike, weakening it before giving the command.

Zero-tail dared not resist and quickly complied.

The next second, chunks of black chakra crystals were spat out from Zero's mouth.

These black chakra crystals are products of Zero-Tails condensing and accumulating a large amount of dark chakra within his body. They contain abundant and extremely pure dark chakra, making them excellent energy consumables.

As chunks of black chakra crystals were expelled, Zero-Tails' size visibly shrank.

In just a few minutes, Zero-Tails' size returned to one-third of its previous size as a tailed beast, or even smaller.

This time, Zero Tail suffered a double loss.

The White Zetsu clone showed no pity for Zero-Tails. He took out a storage-type sealing scroll, stored all the black chakra crystals, and then interrupted the summoning jutsu, kicking Zero-Tails back to the ninja world.

Then, he walked step by step toward the giant purple Tenseigan in front of him, closed his eyes, and reached out to touch it.

All preparations are complete; now it's time to witness the harvest.

So, the moment the White Zetsu clone touched the giant purple Tenseigan, a dazzling purple light burst forth from it. It began to shrink rapidly at an astonishing speed, eventually becoming a normal-sized eye, which then disappeared into the White Zetsu clone's forehead, becoming the clone's third eye.

At the same time, the White Zetsu clone opened its eyes, revealing a pair of eyes identical to the ones on its forehead.

Chapter 337: The Power of the Tenseigan

"Is this the power of the Tenseigan? It's really amazing. No wonder when Toneri Otsutsuki in the movie first beat Naruto like he was beating his son. If this guy hadn't also made the mistake of underestimating his opponent and lacking combat experience, he would never have lost."

Because the power of the Tenseigan is superior to that of the Rinnegan.

The White Zetsu clone opened its eyes, adapting at an extremely fast pace to the power of the Tenseigan and a large amount of information about its abilities from the Tenseigan, and exclaimed in amazement.

Like the Mangekyou Sharingan, once the Tenseigan has evolved, it will automatically generate a variety of powerful abilities, and the holder will quickly master these abilities through an indoctrination process.

The only thing to be careful about is that this method of indoctrination is dangerous; if you cannot withstand this power, you will be devoured by it.

Through the information instilled in him, the White Zetsu clone learned that the Tenseigan had the following abilities.

The first one is the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

This ability is the most powerful and core ability of the Tenseigan. Once he enters this Tenseigan Chakra Mode, his physical attributes will be greatly enhanced, far more so than in Sage Mode. He will also automatically master Yin-Yang Release Technique and the ability to create Truth-Seeking Balls.

Reincarnation and rebirth are undeniably deeply connected in the realm of life and death.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Tenseigan also gave birth to the Yin-Yang Release technique, which has the ability to create all things.

However, the Tenseigan allows its user to create Truth-Seeking Balls, and this ability is somewhat stronger than that of the Rinnegan.

Truth-Seeking Balls are a special ninjutsu that can only be formed by fusing the seven basic chakras. In the original story, unless someone can fuse the seven basic chakras, the only way to master this technique is to learn the Six Paths Sage Mode.

Even the Rinnegan doesn't have this ability.

The Tenseigan has achieved this.

Furthermore, once the Tenseigan user enters the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, they can unleash two powerful ninjutsu formed from Truth-Seeking Balls: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

This shows that there is a certain gap between the two.

That's why the White Zetsu clone believed that the Tenseigan was superior to the Rinnegan.

The second type of ability is repulsion and attraction.

Like the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan allows its user to freely manipulate repulsive and gravitational forces. In other words, the Tenseigan user can also use the powerful techniques of Pain, such as Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in.

The third ability is to grant life force to the puppet.

This ability belongs to the Yin-Yang Release technique. It not only grants life to the puppet, but also allows the puppet to develop a simple self-awareness, enabling it to understand and act upon the commands given by the Tenseigan holder.

A Tenseigan user, with sufficient chakra and ocular power, can single-handedly control a powerful puppet army.

The fourth ability is to absorb chakra.

This ability is similar to Pain's sealing technique absorption, which can absorb the enemy's ninjutsu. However, it goes a step further than the sealing absorption, which can only absorb the enemy's ninjutsu while staying in one place. It can absorb the enemy's ninjutsu and chakra from a distance, and even reflect the enemy's ninjutsu.

In other words, the Tenseigan user can absorb the enemy's chakra from a distance and create a chakra vacuum zone within a certain range. If the opponent ninja does not have sufficient control over chakra, the Tenseigan user will drain all the chakra from their body in an instant.

The fifth ability is spatial manipulation.

This ability allows the Tenseigan user to create a spatial channel between two celestial bodies, similar to Sasuke's Rinnegan's space-time ninjutsu in the original story, but with a wider scope and greater distance.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, White Zetsu clones possessing the Tenseigan will also be able to use Amenotejikara and spatial teleportation in the future.

The sixth ability is to summon the stone statue of Hamura Otsutsuki.

This stone statue, under the control of the Tenseigan's power, possesses the ability to regenerate infinitely, and its power is so great that it can rival a tailed beast.

The seventh ability is control over reading.

The user of the Tenseigan can create a spirit orb and inject it into another person's body, thereby gaining control over that person and reading their memories.

The seven abilities of the Tenseigan are all extremely powerful, in no way inferior to the Rinnegan, and in some aspects even surpass it by a considerable margin.

Of course, the Rinnegan also has many powerful abilities that the Tenseigan cannot match, such as the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, a miraculous resurrection technique for the entire population.

The white Zetsu clone waved his hand, and the surrounding rocks suddenly floated up into the air. They quickly gathered together and then compressed into rock spheres with somewhat rough surfaces.

This is precisely the application of the repulsive and attractive abilities of the Reincarnation Eye.

He sensed it and found that using this ability consumed very little of his chakra and the power of his Tenseigan.

"In the movie 'The Great Challenge,' Toneri Otsutsuki can control the moon to crash into the ninja world while still easily fighting Naruto. In terms of the application of repulsive and gravitational forces, the Tenseigan should be much more powerful than the Rinnegan."

The White Zetsu clone carefully sensed the power of the Tenseigan and immediately understood.

Then, he looked at one of the rock spheres and, combining some of the spatial theories of the Flying Thunder God Technique, activated the spatial manipulation ability of the Tenseigan.
