"Tenseigan? From the name, it sounds like a kind of dōjutsu, but why do they say it's a weapon?"
Tobirama was quite puzzled about this.
It couldn't be that this Tenseigan, when placed in the eye socket, is an eye, but when taken out, it transforms into a weapon, right?
That would be too ridiculous.
"Thinking carefully, there must be something I haven't figured out yet."
As everyone knows, the ninja world has three great dōjutsu.
Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Byakugan.
In fact, many in the ninja world believe that the Byakugan doesn't deserve to be on the same level as the Sharingan and Rinnegan.
Look at the Sharingan.
How much fame has the Uchiha clan earned with this kekkei genkai?
As soon as one awakens the three tomoe, they are solidly an elite ninja.
And the Rinnegan has an even greater reputation.
It is the eye possessed by the Sage of Six Paths.
Just the title "Sage's Eye" is enough to prove the power of these eyes.
But what about the Byakugan?
Whether in terms of growth potential or actual strength, the Byakugan can't compare to the Sharingan and Rinnegan.
Even the famous strong ninjas, the Hyuga clan, don't have as many as the Uchiha clan.
This raised many doubts.
Why does such a "weak" Byakugan stand on equal footing with the other two eyes?
Tobirama was thinking about this question too.
He glanced at Uban and Izuna, and suddenly thought: since the Rinnegan evolved from the Sharingan, could this Tenseigan be an evolution of the Byakugan?
The more Tobirama thought about it, the more he felt it was true.
He wasn't the only one who thought this way—Orochimaru from both the Third and Fifth Hokage's timelines had the same thought.
This was probably the intuition of a scientist.
"The Tenseigan is very likely the evolved form of the Byakugan, an eye that can rival the Sharingan."
"Heh, I really want to see the powers of this Tenseigan."
"If only we could figure out how it evolves, that would be even better."
Fourth Hokage's timeline.
The Third Hokage silently puffed on his pipe.
Minato Namikaze didn't say anything either, seriously watching the holographic video.
Kushina Uzumaki, curious, asked her husband, "You're so serious, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking if those craters on the moon are from their battles."
Kushina: ???
[Because the moon's population was always small, only the Otsutsuki clan's branch descendant, Toneri, remained.]
[Toneri, the branch descendant, lived alone in a castle on the moon, monitoring the ninja world planet, waiting for the right moment to make the moon collide with the ninja planet.]
[Accompanying Toneri were puppets left by their ancestors.]
[Meanwhile, two years had passed since the Fourth Great Ninja War ended on the ninja world planet.]
[Following the twisted will of his ancestors, Toneri prepared to destroy the "failed world" created by the Sage of Six Paths.]
[He first went to the ninja world and found Hiashi Hyuga, the self-proclaimed strongest of Konoha's clans.]
[Toneri had been pretty isolated on the moon for years, but he was extremely keen on the actions of his relatives on the surface.]
[At the start of the movie, Toneri asked Hiashi for a final answer, to which Hiashi replied, "Don't ask, if you do, you're a bastard."]
[Just a quick remark, the replies here are nothing but some bizarre and unreasonable demands.]
[Words didn't match, and Hyuga Hiashi was so angry he couldn't stand it, so he took the chance to use a descending palm technique—well, actually, he just jumped up and slapped.]
[Toneri grunted firmly, daring to shine like a tiny pearl? With a flash, he disappeared, making Hiashi miss completely, and his mindset shifted a bit.]
[At this moment, Toneri's puppet minions prepared to completely surround Hiashi, making the situation even worse for him.]
[Hiashi's followers hurried to the battlefield to restrain the puppets, trying their best to prevent Hiashi from being overwhelmed.]
[Hiashi jumped back and continued chasing Toneri, while his followers faced a group of high-level figures. Afraid of breaking them and paying for it, they kept getting defeated. The puppets' joints could rotate 360 degrees, making joint-lock techniques ineffective, and all the followers were wiped out by these high-level puppets.]
[During the chase, Hiashi still couldn't avoid being overwhelmed.]
[Male puppets used their bodies to pin Hiashi down, trying to immobilize him by weight.]
[Hiashi, a strong and sturdy man, showed his old strength by using a move known as the "human Rasengan," sending the puppets flying.]
[Unfortunately, Toneri had an elite puppet with a fresh coat of paint that was quite powerful. This puppet kept sending seductive glances toward Hiashi, and at this point, Hiashi's mindset changed again. He covered his injured arm and retreated into a cave.]
[The elite puppet sent an even bigger "flirt" from the mountain top, causing the cave where Hiashi was hiding to collapse. The strongest clan leader of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi, temporarily went offline.]
"The strongest clan leader is just like this?"
In the second Hokge's timeline, Rikudou Madara was clearly dissatisfied with what Hayashi Sora said.
Even though he knew Hayashi Sora was teasing the Hyuga clan, he still felt very annoyed.
"Indeed, this Hiashi's performance was a bit lacking."
Rikudou Hashirama carefully analyzed the strength of Toneri's puppets on the screen and found that at best, they were just a group of special jonin.
Not to mention himself, even his brother Tobirama could take on a group alone.
As for the so-called elite puppet, it only attacked a few times and didn't show much strength.
But as the Hyuga clan leader, being taken down by just a few attacks from puppets seemed a bit too trivial.
And this was just facing Toneri's mere elite puppet.
"These puppets are obviously controlled by Toneri. Could it be that his ability is to control these puppets?
But his eyes look no different from a normal Byakugan. Can the Byakugan also control puppets?"
"Tobirama, don't overthink it for now. Let's keep watching."
"Toneri's ability doesn't seem very strong."
In the Third Hokage's time, Jiraiya was also analyzing Toneri's ability and the puppets shown on the screen.
From what he saw, Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, really wasn't afraid of the opponent.
"He's been watching us from the moon for a long time. Not only does he know our strength inside out, but he can also roughly estimate it. And yet he still left the moon to come to the surface, which means he has his own confidence."
"Confidence? Could it be the Tenseigan that the light screen mentioned?"
"Most likely."
"But Toneri's eyes clearly are Byakugan."
"That I don't know. It's also possible that the Rinnegan, like Madara Uchiha's, can switch forms between Sharingan and Rinnegan."
"Tsk, that does seem possible."
Jiraiya felt a bit of a headache.
He just didn't understand why so many people were interested in destroying the world.
Obito was like that, Madara was like that, Kaguya was like that, and now here comes Toneri.
This planet beneath our feet really is full of disasters!
