After getting used to it for a while, Hinata also entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode to experience it for herself.
Several chakra orbs appeared around her body, and a number of techniques that relied on those chakra orbs were naturally executed.
This also made her realize that the ability Aoba used when fighting Otsutsuki Toneri before was undoubtedly the Tenseigan.
Hinata felt a bit surprised by the fact, but only a little.
She didn't feel unhappy that Aoba hadn't told her about it. Instead, she suddenly realized another issue.
She wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she was quite smart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to suppress the other girls back at the ninja academy. It was just that in front of Aoba, she would occasionally act a little clumsy.
She also had her own little thoughts.
So she quickly thought of this problem.
Aoba had said that awakening the Tenseigan required a high-purity Byakugan, as well as the special chakra of the moon's Byakugan clan.
And Aoba had already awakened the Tenseigan long ago. Not to mention that he possessed the Hyuga clan's bloodline, it also meant that this special chakra existed within his body, which meant, the reason her Tenseigan had evolved was most likely because she had obtained chakra from Aoba.
And when it came to methods of obtaining chakra, Hinata thought of it.
'So… that's how it is…'
"Uu…"
After figuring out the truth, Hinata immediately let out a soft whimper, squatted down on a rock, and buried her flushed face into her thighs. Steam began rising from her head again, something that hadn't happened in a long time.
She had originally thought her evolution was due to her own talent. She didn't expect it to be because she was greedy.
Even if others didn't know, just thinking about it herself made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Right now, Hinata only wanted to find a hole to hide in, or directly use the Tenseigan's ability to make herself lose her memory.
The Tenseigan did have the ability to seal memories.
Just as her mind was spiraling into all kinds of chaotic thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Hinata?"
The moment Aoba returned, he saw Hinata curled up into a ball, with steam still rising from her head.
He had no idea what was going on.
'How did testing the Tenseigan's abilities end up making her this shy?'
"A-Aoba-kun, you're back."
Seeing Aoba return, Hinata hurriedly adjusted her emotions and stood up. Her small hands twisted together in front of her, and her gaze kept darting around.
She also felt a bit curious… whether there would be other effects in the future.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Hinata drift off after just saying two sentences, Aoba couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"Ah? N-no… nothing."
Hinata snapped back to her senses and quickly waved her hands in a fluster.
There was no way she could let Aoba-kun know what she had been thinking. She wasn't as bold a little glutton as Yakumo.
Anyway, after today, and with their wedding coming up soon, she could be more open about things.
She could just observe slowly in the future.
"…"
Aoba had no idea what Hinata was thinking, but nine times out of ten, it wasn't anything very pure.
Because when her eyes had been darting around just now, although it looked subtle, he still caught it. The intent was clearly not that simple.
The once pure and obedient Hinata had already been completely led astray by Yakumo.
But seeing her so flustered, Aoba didn't feel like pressing further. He simply went along with her and changed the subject.
"Can you adapt to the power of the Tenseigan?"
"Mhm…"
Hinata nodded lightly.
"Then try creating a set of table and chairs," Aoba suggested.
The Tenseigan had the ability to create form from nothing, to produce objects out of thin air. Although she had only just grasped this power, creating an ordinary set of table and chairs shouldn't be difficult.
"Table and chairs?"
Hinata blinked. Although she didn't know what Aoba was planning, she still obediently did as told.
With just a simple lift of her hand, a brand-new set of table and chairs appeared on a flat patch of ground.
Aoba took out all the food that Hyuga Natsu and the others had prepared earlier, placed it on the table, and looked at her with a smile.
"Awakening the Tenseigan probably took a lot out of you. Eat first."
"Mhm, I'll listen to you, Aoba-kun."
————
Eating on the moon, Aoba and Hinata were probably the only ones who could claim that experience.
After all, whether the Otsutsuki clan even needed to eat was still unknown.
Although the environment wasn't great, it was still a novel experience.
For example, they could eat while looking at the ninja world above their heads.
Hinata's faintly purple eyes would occasionally glance toward the ninja world, and also at other planets.
But the other planets nearby were lifeless and dull, nothing interesting.
Meanwhile, Aoba once again spread his perception across the entire moon.
He wanted to try finding where Otsutsuki Kaguya's seal was.
Even the Otsutsuki clan on the moon didn't know about this matter. They only knew they were guarding the Ten-Tails' husk, the Gedo Mazo.
Otherwise, Otsutsuki Toneri wouldn't have tried to crash the moon into the ninja world.
Likewise, in the original storyline, even after Toneri split the moon in half, Otsutsuki Kaguya never appeared.
So he wasn't looking for the seal to release her now.
He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
The original story never mentioned this seal.
Even Black Zetsu didn't open the seal to release Kaguya in the end. Instead, when Uchiha Madara was at the height of his triumph, he pierced through his chest and allowed Kaguya to resurrect directly using the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki body.
But as his perception covered the entire moon, he found no trace of any seal.
Just as he was about to probe deeper into the moon, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation of soul energy.
Because he had cultivated the Spirit Transformation Technique, his sensory ninjutsu was very different from ordinary ones.
Besides sensing chakra, he could also sense souls, and even actively enter others' consciousness spaces.
His consciousness followed that sudden soul fluctuation and reached out toward it.
As contact was made, a cold voice transmitted directly into his soul.
["You… who are you?"]
