Otsutsuki Toneri's defeat was obvious. Even he himself, the moment he sensed the eyes on Aoba, had already been mentally prepared.
Although he also possessed a Great Tenseigan, this one ultimately counted as an external object for him.
This power didn't truly belong to him.
Even though he could control the Great Tenseigan through his own chakra, not only was the chakra consumption far greater than his opponent's, but the power he could unleash was also incomparable to the Tenseigan in the other's eyes.
Releasing two major techniques was already his limit.
This was also why, in his future plan, the first step was to transplant Hanabi's eyes and awaken his own Tenseigan.
"I have to say, the power of this Tenseigan is indeed quite impressive."
With a flicker, Aoba appeared in front of the Great Tenseigan, placing his hand on it and sensing the power within.
Then he looked down at Otsutsuki Toneri, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"As for you…"
"Damn it!"
Otsutsuki Toneri ground his teeth. Even without eyes, those empty sockets looked even more unsettling.
He wanted to stand up, but his chakra had already been almost entirely poured into the Tenseigan. The fact that he could still speak was already due to sheer willpower.
"It seems you still haven't given up that dangerous idea."
Aoba didn't waste words. He grabbed the defenseless Otsutsuki Toneri, and in an instant… sealed the remaining chakra within his body.
"You… what are you trying to do?"
A look of terror appeared on Otsutsuki Toneri's face.
"Your way of thinking is too dangerous. Spend the rest of your life in Konoha's prison."
Aoba had just carefully examined the condition of the Tenseigan. This one, formed from all the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan, contained enough power to awaken Hinata.
So now, there was no longer any reason for Otsutsuki Toneri to die.
After all, he could be considered the last remaining seedling of the moon's Otsutsuki clan. Keeping him around could be useful later to study the differences between them and the Otsutsuki clan from outer space.
After all, although they looked similar, their power still differed somewhat.
"You bastard!"
Otsutsuki Toneri had no way to resist. As his chakra was sealed, his consciousness sank into darkness.
"Aoba-kun! You're not hurt, right?"
Accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air, Hinata, seeing that the battle at the center had already ended, arrived in front of Aoba.
At this point, the surroundings were all craters, so she could naturally see the state of the battle at a glance.
Even though Aoba had been completely suppressing Otsutsuki Toneri the whole time, the terrifying scene still made her uneasy.
As for the puppets she had been fighting, they had all been controlled by Otsutsuki Toneri through the Great Tenseigan. Now that the instigator had fallen unconscious, they naturally lost control as well.
"I'm fine. For me, this was about the same as just warming up."
Aoba pinched her cheek, then looked at the giant eyeball beside him.
"This is the main objective of our trip."
"So this is the Tenseigan?"
Hinata's gaze was also unconsciously drawn to the Great Tenseigan.
The moment she looked at it, she felt a stirring deep within her Byakugan.
"Mm."
Aoba placed his hand on the Great Tenseigan again, and a purple glow flowed across its surface.
"Hinata, close your eyes first. Bear with it a little, it might hurt a bit at the beginning."
"Okay."
Hinata obediently closed her eyes.
The next moment, she felt an incomparably pure and massive amount of chakra flow into her body, surging along her meridians into her eyes.
In just an instant, the swelling pain she had felt that morning returned.
She immediately bit her lip, not letting herself cry out.
Aoba, who was guiding the Tenseigan's chakra, naturally noticed this, but he didn't say anything.
This was also a necessary path for the evolution of the Tenseigan.
Hinata's eyes had already begun evolving, but under normal circumstances, this process would take a long time. What Aoba was doing now was helping her shorten that process.
Before long, Hinata felt that pain fade away, replaced by a special change in her eyes.
'So this is the Tenseigan?'
Feeling the transformation in her eyes, Hinata found her answer.
And when she opened her eyes again, a faint purple hue appeared within them.
In her once pure white eyes, those flickering points of light now all lit up.
The purple points of light gathered toward her pupils, decorating her eyes in violet.
The chakra contained within them was undoubtedly that of the Tenseigan.
However, Aoba was slightly surprised that Hinata's Tenseigan was purple.
Maybe it was because the Great Tenseigan itself was purple.
But he didn't dislike it. Instead, he felt it had a unique charm.
"Aoba-kun…"
Being stared at by Aoba, the excitement she had just felt from awakening the Tenseigan quickly turned into a blush again.
"Very beautiful eyes, Hinata."
Aoba sincerely praised her.
"Thank you."
Hinata thanked him with a red face.
Aoba smiled, then turned his gaze back to the Great Tenseigan.
Now that it had lost most of its ocular power, its color had dimmed considerably.
But there was still quite a lot left. Maybe it could be used for Hanabi in the future.
He sealed it away using a specially made sealing scroll.
"Hinata, stay here on the moon for a bit and get used to the power of the Tenseigan. I'll take this guy back and lock him up."
Aoba pointed at Otsutsuki Toneri, who had already lost consciousness on the ground.
Now that Hinata had the Tenseigan, forget the ninja world, even if the orthodox Otsutsuki clan came, they'd still get slapped a couple of times before leaving.
After all, some Otsutsuki couldn't even dodge an Uchiha body slam.
"Okay."
Hinata nodded. She really did need to get used to the power she had just obtained.
Even though she had only just awakened it, she could already feel how dangerous these eyes were.
But after Aoba left, when she casually used some of the Tenseigan's abilities, Hinata realized in surprise that what Aoba had used earlier… seemed to be Tenseigan abilities too.
