Chapter 277: Tenseigan Chakra Mode
The lightning and the pale blue sword light collided. In the next instant, a giant cross-shaped trench was left on the surface of the moon.
"That was close!" Cold sweat dripped down Naruto's face. He and Sasuke had used all their techniques in that last blow, but they had almost been defeated just now.
However, more attacks followed one after another!
An eye on the Mazō's shoulder flickered—countless fine chakra rays with space-cutting properties came covering them like a torrential rain!
An eye on its chest rotated—the lunar surface under the Majestic Attire Susanoo's feet suddenly turned into a quicksand-like trap, a huge gravitational force trying to swallow it!
The eyes on the wings of light behind it lit up—several huge, space-distorting pale blue chains appeared out of thin air, wrapping towards the limbs of the Majestic Attire Susanoo!
"Damn it! It's endless!" Naruto roared. The giant chakra blade in the Majestic Attire Susanoo's hand erupted with a dazzling golden light. "Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken!"
In the giant Nine-Tails' hands, several Tailed Beast Balls suddenly condensed. Then, under the effect of the wind-natured sage chakra input by Naruto, these pure chakra spheres began to transform into sharp wind blades. After Naruto threw them out one after another, Sasuke also attached a layer of black lightning with the ability to annihilate matter onto their surface.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surface of the moon completely turned into the center of an energy storm! The chakra of their combination technique and the pale blue Tenseigan energy clashed madly, annihilating and exploding! Each collision triggered a large-scale collapse of the lunar surface, and the suspended rock spheres were completely cleared out! Under the illumination of the giant Tenseigan's light, a purple-gold giant brandished a blade of destruction, engaged in a fierce battle beyond mortal imagination with a pale blue monster covered in eyes that controlled space and chaotic energy!
The attacks of the Majestic Attire Susanoo were still incomparably ferocious. Every slash of the giant chakra blade could leave a deep crack on the crystalline body of the Tenseigan Mazō, even cutting off the tips of a few newborn claws or light wings. The explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken could instantly clear a large area of incoming light rays.
But the Tenseigan Mazō's recovery ability and attack frequency were even more terrifying! The cracks that were cut open healed in an instant under the pale blue light, and the blown-off parts quickly regenerated into more twisted forms. Countless eyeballs, like never-stopping cannons, released all kinds of incredible attacks, and the attack patterns were still constantly changing and evolving! Although the defense of the Majestic Attire Susanoo was strong, under the continuous and strangely-attributed attacks, the purple-gold chakra armor also gradually became covered with fine cracks, and its light began to flicker unsteadily.
"This guy's... power seems endless!" Naruto felt the intense consumption of the Nine-Tails' chakra. Maintaining the Majestic Attire form to fight against this level of attack was an extremely heavy burden.
"It's that giant eye that's continuously supplying the energy!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo locked deadly onto the giant Tenseigan floating above like a deity. "If we don't cut off its connection to the Mazō, we will be worn down to death!"
"Got it! Then let's find a way to take down that big lightbulb first!" a look of determination flashed in Naruto's eyes.
The two's minds were in sync. The Majestic Attire Susanoo suddenly burst out with all its power, taking several space-cutting rays head-on. The giant chakra blade was raised high, its target aimed straight at the giant Tenseigan!
"Foolish! In my domain, all your actions are in vain!" Toneri's cold voice sounded.
The largest Tenseigan on the Tenseigan Mazō's chest suddenly lit up! An irresistible, battlefield-covering terrifying repulsive force instantly erupted!
The Majestic Attire Susanoo was as if it had hit an invisible wall of sighs. Its huge charging momentum was forcefully halted! Not only that, the entire purple-gold giant was pushed back fiercely by this repulsive force, crashing heavily into the wall of a crater in the distance!
RUMBLE—!!!
More than half of the crater collapsed! The Majestic Attire Susanoo was deeply embedded in the rubble. Its body's chakra armor emitted a wail of being overwhelmed, and the cracks rapidly expanded!
"Ugh!" Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously felt a violent shock. The consumption of chakra and the backlash made both of them spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Gedo Mazō floated in the pale blue pillar of light, its countless eyes coldly watching the repelled enemy, letting out a silent mockery. The wounds on its body once again healed in the light. Even those severed claws and light wings grew back, becoming even more ferocious.
"Do you see? In the face of absolute power, your so-called bonds are nothing but the mournful cry of a dying struggle," Toneri stood on the Mazō's head, as if looking down on ants. "The next blow will turn you, along with this eyesore, into the dust of the moon!"
The giant Tenseigan Mazō began to accumulate power. All its eyes lit up with a dazzling light, its target locked onto the Majestic Attire Susanoo deeply embedded in the mountain wall! A destructive energy capable of tearing space was condensing at its core!
Naruto and Sasuke struggled to control the Majestic Attire Susanoo to stand up from the rubble. Although the purple-gold light had dimmed considerably, it still burned tenaciously.
Even the Nine-Tails, at this moment, looked at the condensing destructive energy with a grave expression and said, "Damn it, if only I didn't have only half of my power..."
Although this thing in front of it looked strong, the Nine-Tails was confident that if it had its full strength, plus this suit of armor given by this Uchiha brat, it could completely beat this thing up. But having had a full half of his chakra taken away by Minato Namikaze's Reaper Death Seal, he could only take a beating here now.
[Damn you, Minato Namikaze. You never thought your choice would one day screw over your own son, did you?] The Nine-Tails gritted its teeth and stood up, leaning on its sword.
...
"So, Ancestor, what do you want from me? My comrades are still fighting outside," Neji had no good feelings for this person who had suddenly found him through such a special means and claimed to be his ancestor. Especially after having his worldview reshaped by Uchiha Douhuan, Neji no longer had any illusions about these charlatans who liked to call themselves sages. If it weren't for the fact that the other's methods were something he couldn't quite understand, making him feel that it was temporarily not a good idea to have a falling out with him, Neji would have long since let the other experience the essence of the Naka River Shrine Theological Seminary. After all, the last Miko who had acted like a charlatan in front of them was still studying at the Naka River Shrine Theological Seminary.
"Child, no need to rush. Time is frozen here," Ōtsutsuki Hamura, hearing that Neji might not be very friendly to him, said without much concern.
"I have seen your experiences. I'm sorry. I also didn't know that the protective jutsu I left for you back then would evolve into its current state over time. Both your branch on the ninja world and this branch of guardians on the moon have suffered greatly from it."
"A protective jutsu?" Neji's brow furrowed upon hearing this. "Are you talking about the Caged Bird Seal?"
"Yes. My original intention was to prevent my descendants' bloodline from being coveted. But unexpectedly, both you on the moon and you in the ninja world have added a curse mark to control others on this basis," Ōtsutsuki Hamura sighed longly.
"So, what was the original Caged Bird Seal like?" Neji asked with some curiosity.
"Unlike my brother's descendants who all possessed great power, of the two clans that inherited my bloodline, one had combat abilities no less than the descendants of Asura and Indra, while the other clan, which is you, only inherited my Byakugan. Although the Byakugan, after evolution, has power no less than theirs, to achieve this, the requirement for talent is too high. And the other characteristics of the Byakugan are destined to be coveted by others. So, in order to protect you, I passed down the original jutsu. This jutsu can make the Byakugan self-destruct after leaving the body, but it will also lock the possibility of the Byakugan's evolution."
"My original intention at that time was to let the talented children in your clan pursue the path of evolution, while those with mediocre talent could, under the protection of this jutsu, avoid being killed for their eyes. But unexpectedly, both you in the ninja world and this branch that I arranged to guard the seal on the moon actually walked down the same path," Ōtsutsuki Hamura said.
"This is inevitable," Neji said with a blank expression.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's face looked a bit dim.
"Because geniuses also have their own children," Neji said.
"Yes, geniuses also have their own children," Ōtsutsuki Hamura sighed longly.
"This branch on the moon is now left with only this one descendant. But he has already gone astray," Ōtsutsuki Hamura said. "I still have a portion of power in my hands that can allow your eyes to reach a higher level."
"So, what do I need to do?" Neji frowned. Neji certainly knew the principle that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. So, facing the other's proposal, Neji asked cautiously.
"I hope you can stop that child outside. After all, the moon can't take much more of this," Ōtsutsuki Hamura said. "And, it's a little selfish of me, but I hope you can lead your clan down a new path."
"This is what I should do in the first place," Neji said in a low voice.
"Hold out your hand," Ōtsutsuki Hamura looked at this descendant of his with a smile. This descendant who had suffered greatly from the Caged Bird Seal as a child, but after breaking free from the cage, thought of holding an umbrella for the clan members who had the same experience.
Neji nodded and held out his hand.
...
Outside, just as the Gedo Mazō had finished charging and was about to strike, Neji, behind Naruto and Sasuke, suddenly opened his eyes.
A beam of white light shot out from between the two of them, directly hitting the giant Tenseigan in the sky.
Neji slowly came to the front of the two. His state was extremely special:
The originally pure Byakugan, at this moment, had a complex, deep, pale blue flower pattern appearing in the depths of its pupils, just like Toneri's Tenseigan! But this pattern was more restrained, purer, emitting a gentle yet unquestionable majesty. This was the sign of the Tenseigan's awakening!
The moment he woke up, he clearly sensed the existence of the giant Tenseigan, as well as Toneri's crude, full-of-destructive-desire control over it. At this moment, he seemed to hear the mournful cries of his distant relatives on the moon who had been used as feed for this giant Tenseigan for so many years.
That pure white beam accurately hit the surface of the giant Tenseigan!
Weng—!!!
No explosion, no impact. The violent pale blue light of the giant Tenseigan suddenly stagnated. Immediately after, an intense conflict seemed to occur within! The originally stable energy flow being transmitted to the Tenseigan Mazō became chaotic and intermittent!
"No! Impossible!" Toneri cried out in alarm. He felt that his absolute control over the giant Tenseigan was being forcibly divided and interfered with! "A mere ant from the ninja world, and a branch family member at that... how could he awaken the Tenseigan? And dare to covet our clan's greatest treasure?!"
The destructive energy gathered at the core of the Tenseigan Mazō fluctuated violently due to the unstable energy supply and had to temporarily stop its attack.
"Neji?!" Naruto was both surprised and happy, almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Those eyes... are similar to this guy's, but the feeling... is completely different!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo keenly captured the pure and powerful dōjutsu in Neji's eyes.
Neji ignored Toneri's angry roar, his whole body bursting with an unprecedented aura. He formed seals with his hands, and the awakened Tenseigan erupted with a pure, pale blue brilliance, creating a deeper resonance with the giant Tenseigan!
Neji's voice carried a soul-penetrating power, "The power of the Tenseigan should not bring destruction, but protection and purification!"
"You... stop!" Toneri was completely enraged. He could not tolerate his greatest reliance being shaken. He instantly detached from the top of the Mazō and transformed into a dazzling pale blue streak of light, heading straight for Neji! "Blasphemer! Let me end you personally!"
"Neji, be careful!" Naruto shouted.
However, Neji, facing Toneri's thunderous blow, his eyes were incomparably calm. He slowly raised his right hand, his palm facing Toneri.
"Tenseigan Chakra Mode, activate!"
Boom!
Pure, vast, and moon-like silvery-white chakra, like a volcanic eruption, gushed out from Neji's body! It instantly formed a magnificent, flowing, pure white chakra cloak that covered his entire body! The cloak was adorned with arcane blue tomoe patterns, and several jet-black Truth-Seeking Orbs floated behind his back! His hair stood on end in the chakra, turning a pale blue. His entire temperament became sacred and ethereal, forming a sharp contrast with Toneri's aggressive pale blue chakra mode!
Pure white versus pale blue! Protection versus destruction! The fated duel of the Tenseigan from the same origin!
"What?!" Toneri's pupils shrank abruptly. Not only had Neji awakened the Tenseigan, but he could also so skillfully activate the chakra mode?! This overturned his cognition!
BANG!!!
Toneri's fist, wrapped in destructive power, slammed hard on Neji's raised palm! The expected crushing did not occur. The violent pale blue energy and the seemingly soft but actually incomparably tough pure white chakra shield on Neji's palm clashed fiercely, creating a deafening loud noise and a terrifying airwave!
The lunar surface under their feet collapsed with a boom!
"Damn it!" Toneri roared angrily, the blue light of his Tenseigan flaring. "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A huge silver chakra ring was instantly generated, blasting towards the nearby Neji with the power to crush everything!
Neji did not dodge or evade. The tomoe patterns on his pure white chakra cloak lit up, "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
