Although Hiashi Hyuga had already visited once with his father when he was young.
However, when he saw the colorful and dazzling natural caves with his own eyes again, he couldn't help but feel a strong longing.
"This is the Moon Crossing Secret Realm."
Hiashi Hyuga wasn't the only one stunned by the sight before him; the other members of the main clan also widened their eyes in astonishment.
Apart from the clan patriarch and his successors who have passed down this secret through generations, this is the first time they have come to this secret place that exists deep within the family's secrets.
Just looking at the scene before them filled them with intense anticipation.

I wonder just how powerful that legendary upper clan really is.
How magnificent was the place where they lived!
People are always filled with all sorts of wild and unrealistic longings for the unknown. Even the Hyuga main family, which holds a high position and is second only to the leader, is just an ordinary person after all their identities are removed.
Looking at the scene before him, and thinking of the current desolation and crisis of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga felt a deep sadness welling up in his heart, a sense of frustration as if he were guarding a treasure mountain but dared not squander it.
But today, they can finally show the ninja world the power of the Hyuga clan once again!
Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga suddenly raised his head, immediately broke the heavy seals on the heirloom in his hand, revealing the crystal-clear jade stone in the center, and knelt heavily on the ground.
"Hyuga Hiashi, the clan chief of the lower clan, respectfully requests the arrival of the upper clan!"
He wasn't the only one.
The members of the main family behind him immediately followed Hiashi Hyuga's lead, kneeling down in a flurry, lowering their smooth heads and prostrating themselves on the ground.
"We respectfully invite the superior clan to descend—!"
Just as they were respectfully bowing in worship.
Aizen Sousuke and Hyuga Hizashi were also standing next to Hyuga Hiashi.
However, the clan chief with the white eyes ignored the two of them.
Looking at his brother's humble appearance beside him, Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but show a hint of disgust in his eyes, but when he looked at the cave ahead, he also felt a little apprehensive.
Clearly, even he harbored an inexplicable fear of the powerful clans mentioned in the rumors and records.
Hyuga Hizashi asked in a low voice:
"Lord Aizen?"
"Should we use... now?"
"It's alright, Mr. Hishashi."
Aizen Sousuke, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, quietly examining the cave before him.
Unlike the Hyuga clan members around them who regarded this place as a sacred site and dared not harbor the slightest thought of prying into it.
Almost the instant he arrived at the 'Moon Crossing Secret Realm', a vast array of various sealing formations unfolded beneath his feet, completely covering the entire Moon Crossing Secret Realm.
In just a short while, he had figured out most of the seemingly intimidating secret passage.
"It's just a spatial passage shaped by pure energy and solidified over a long period of time by relying on the earth's veins and natural energy."
Aizen Sousuke leisurely surveyed his surroundings with a smile: "However, the power contained here is not to be underestimated, as it allows one to travel 400,000 kilometers in one go."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hizashi subconsciously looked up at the colorful spatial passage.
Even his Byakugan could only see traces of dense and continuous chakra flow in this cave, unable to see through the truth within.
Lord Aizen, you've figured it all out in such a short time?
That's a terrifying insight.
It's unclear what in this world can possibly escape his notice.
Hyuga Hizashi sighed inwardly.
He certainly didn't follow the wrong person.
After waiting for a long time, even Hiashi Hyuga, who was kneeling on the ground and waiting quietly, couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the fake item he was holding.
Aizen then withdrew his gaze and casually tossed the true heirloom away.
"Buzz—!"
Almost the instant that the heirloom was released from its seal.
The power of the eyes hidden deep within the pearls and jade suddenly formed a special connection with the colorful and dazzling cave in front of them.
The piercing buzzing sound suddenly pierced the minds of everyone present, and there was even a faint sense of space reversal.
Hiashi Hyuga's face lit up with joy, but he lowered his head again as soon as he had raised it.
The violent sound suddenly traveled an incredibly long distance.
Aizen Sousuke stood on the ground, raising his head towards the bright moon in the center of the sky.
...
At the same moment, on the moon.
In the center of the ancient, dilapidated fortress, a young man in a long robe with his eyes closed suddenly raised his head in a certain direction, as if sensing something.
"Um?"
"This is... the Tenseigan?"
Otsutsuki Toneri murmured in confusion.
Since his predecessors died young, he was the only one left on this desolate moon.
He suddenly spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
However, his hoarse voice could not hide the confusion in his heart.
There was no one else on the entire moon except him, so who else could resonate with the Tenseigan?
As if he had just thought of something, Otsutsuki Toneri suddenly stood up and frantically manipulated the Tenseigan to sense the deepest part of the moon.
'Oops.'
'Could it be that the Goddess of the Rabbit has suddenly escaped?'
As a pure branch of the Ōtsutsuki Hamura lineage that separated to the moon, Ōtsutsuki Toneri naturally knew what their branch's greatest mission had been for the past thousand years.
With the records of the Otsutsuki clan spanning a thousand years, no one knows better than them just how powerful the Rabbit Goddess truly is.
And no one knows better than him how the moon was formed.
If the Goddess of Rabbit escapes, then his last place of residence will surely collapse!
However, when he was still somewhat unfamiliar with controlling the Tenseigan and sensing the enormous chakra hidden deep within the countless seals of the moon's core, he found that the other party was still as quiet and still in the center of this space as it had been for thousands of years.
Not moving at all.
Young Otsutsuki Toneri sat on the ground, looking bewildered.
It wasn't until much later that he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Oh, right."
"And there are also branch families in the ninja world."
Because his predecessors died too early, many records were only hastily passed down to him.
After thinking for a long time, Otsutsuki Toneri finally remembered that his main branch also had the task of protecting the lower branches.
The enormous Reincarnation Eye slowly rotated, its pupil gazing down towards the mortal realm.
As expected.
The moment their gazes converged, the scene of the lower realm was clearly imprinted into Otsutsuki Toneri's mind.
"...We respectfully invite the superior clan to descend!"
Not only the visuals, but even the sounds from the lower realms were clearly audible.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri looked towards the lower realm.
Those figures were also clearly displayed in the giant reincarnation eye.
Besides the dozen or so members of the clan, there were two figures standing to the side.
He muttered something under his breath:
"How rude!"
However, as he looked around, his gaze fell on the figure at the very front of the crowd.
Although he didn't have his own eyes, he recognized the other person the moment his Reincarnation Eyes looked at them.
He was the father of the 'wife' he had chosen.
If the Hyuga clan were to be wiped out, then his wife would probably...
Otsutsuki Toneri hesitated for a long time.
However, looking at his own small arms and legs, and then at the giant Tenseigan that he could only barely use some of his strength and could not fully control at all, he realized that he was in a difficult situation.
In the end, the eight-year-old Otsutsuki Toneri sighed helplessly.
"Feel sorry."
"You're too late."
He murmured this to himself, then gently waved his hand, sweeping away the message from the lower realm.
I sat back down in my original seat.
His current chakra reserves don't allow him to maintain a connection with the Tenseigan for too long.
...
The Hyuga main family members, located in front of the Moon Crossing Secret Realm, waited quietly.
The colorful cave, under some special influence, continuously emitted bursts of blurry glow.
Their hearts, too, rose in their throats along with the constantly fluctuating radiance.
Suddenly.
The trembling glow suddenly stopped.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Hiashi Hyuga subconsciously raised his head and looked ahead.
But what met my eyes was still a blank space.
He was taken aback, and his heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
At that moment, a bad feeling suddenly popped into Hiashi Hyuga's mind.
Could it be that this branch of the lower realm has been abandoned?
This mere conjecture made his heart feel as if it had been gripped by a giant hand, and the escalating crisis in recent days made it almost difficult for him to breathe.
If that's the case... then how can the Hyuga clan possibly survive?
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.
Only Aizen Sousuke beside him remained with his head raised, quietly gazing towards the moon.
Just now, at some point, he felt a 'gaze' containing immense power.
That extremely heavy feeling was not from ordinary vision, but from a force that even he had to be wary of.
"Is that the 'Tensekai'?" Aizen murmured.
When Hizashi was creating the Otsutsuki clone, he mentioned that it was the treasure of the Otsutsuki clan.
He hadn't really taken it to heart at first.
However, judging from what I just felt, the level of this power is probably far superior to the so-called Mangekyou Sharingan.
but...
"Oh."
Suddenly, Aizen couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
Despite possessing such power, he showed no intention of making a move;
Despite being a large race that has thrived for thousands of years, the lunar surface is strangely barren, with almost no trace of recent human activity.
They clearly saw 'his' presence, but no information was transmitted to them.
These tiny details are enough to help him construct many conjectures that are close to reality.
"Then let me test the waters again."
Aizen Sousuke said this.
Under the despairing gaze of Hiashi Hyuga.
A sudden burst of intense light filled the despairing gazes of all the Hyuga main family members present.
Deep within those dazzling caves.
A tall, slender, and youthful-looking white-haired man stepped out from the boundless stream of light.
In an instant, the gazes of all the members of the Hyuga main family present froze.
He glanced at the kneeling Hyuga main family members, then stepped forward to Hyuga Hiashi, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his posture relaxed, and his tone tinged with a hint of languor:
"Are you my summoners?"
At that moment, a ray of light called hope suddenly burst forth from the depths of Hiashi Hyuga's vision.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, the clan chief, who always appeared extremely dignified and solemn in front of his people, bowed his head deeply and kowtowed heavily to the ground.
So humble as to be reduced to dust.
"He is indeed a petty person."
"I am the twenty-third head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga!"
Bloodline, level, strength.
All of these conditions he used to suppress his people were also regarded as guiding principles by him, and were used to worship superiors who were above him.
Although the 'superior' in front of him was just a cloned body, a puppet without consciousness.
A counterfeit product manipulated by humans.
Not only him, but all the members of the Hyuga main family behind Hiashi Hyuga looked at him with unparalleled fervor and worship.
Everything seemed so ironic.
However, the body controlled by Aizen only revealed a calm smile:
"You should know the rules, right?"
"Chief of the Hyuga clan."
"yes!"
Hiashi Hyuga immediately picked up a scroll: "The Byakugan treasured by the Hyuga clan for the past two hundred years are all here, totaling one hundred and thirty-five."
"One of them ended up elsewhere."
"very good."
The Otsutsuki clone naturally took the scroll.
Compared to killing them one by one, gathering the white eyes like this is obviously much faster.
His smile grew even gentler.
"Speak."
Who do you want to kill?
