Kitagawa Minamoto was well aware that the power resonating with his eyes was none other than the Tenseigan on the moon.
He could distinctly feel the immense energy emanating from it, as well as a strange sense of familiarity embedded within that power.
"But this familiarity feels more like a sense of shared origin..."
A shared origin of power, with its essence rooted in the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Such occurrences weren't particularly surprising, but what intrigued Minamoto was one particular question.
"Why didn't I feel this when I faced Nagato?"
Even though Nagato had been physically distant from him at the time, it couldn't possibly have been farther than the moon, could it?
"Could it be because his eyes aren't a match, and the power hasn't been fully activated?"
After all, the Rinnegan didn't originally belong to Nagato; he was merely a vessel for Madara Uchiha's transplanted eyes.
In Minamoto's memories, Nagato had never truly unlocked the full power of the Rinnegan.
For instance, the technique Limbo: Border Jail was something only Madara Uchiha had been able to use properly.
"Of course, it might also be because my own eyes weren't as developed back then."
Minamoto murmured to himself as he began to quietly sense the situation surrounding the eye on the moon.
Gradually, his expression turned peculiar, because he realized that the eye on the moon was transmitting some kind of "information" to him.
This information appeared to be various methods for utilizing the Tenseigan's abilities.
"Is this even possible?"
Minamoto found it hard to believe, but he seemed to have some understanding of it.
It seemed that whether it was the Tenseigan, the Rinnegan, or even the Sharingan, their abilities were inherently hidden within the eyes themselves.
Only the true user of these eyes could access this information and fully unlock their potential.
"Otherwise, it's likely the same as Kakashi or Nagato—despite the power hidden in their eyes, they never truly realized its full extent."
Minamoto seemed to have figured it out, and he began to accelerate his comprehension.
However, he couldn't help but feel a bit concerned.
He wasn't entirely sure about the current state of the people on the moon, but such an opportunity was too rare to pass up!
"At the very least, I need to pinpoint its location."
As Minamoto delved deeper into his resonance with the Tenseigan, the Chakra within his body began to flow more vigorously.
His entire body started to emit a radiant glow of Chakra, as if enveloped by a surging power.
The energy even began to lift him gently off the ground.
Buzz—
In the next moment, his eyes suddenly opened.
At that instant, his eyes transformed into the brilliant azure of the Tenseigan!
Simultaneously, the moon itself seemed to shift subtly, as an invisible wave of Chakra reverberated silently across the sky.
Even more astonishingly, a faint golden hue began to emerge within Minamoto's radiant blue eyes.
"It's happening again!"
Inside the lunar temple, the Second Elder abruptly opened his eyes.
Not far from him, the golden Tenseigan pulsed with a dazzling golden Chakra, its radiant light illuminating the entire temple.
"It's happening again?"
The First Elder and Third Elder quickly arrived, their expressions grave as they stared at the pulsating Tenseigan before them.
"This time, the reaction seems stronger than the last."
"Indeed, and it appears that the Tenseigan's Chakra is being transmitted outward."
The First Elder immediately noticed the anomaly, his Byakugan fixed on the Tenseigan.
However, he couldn't grasp any key details. The Third Elder couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"It seems someone down below is indeed capable of triggering this Tenseigan. Damn those inferior beings! We haven't even settled the score over the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and now this?"
"Forget about that for now. Quickly seal off the Chakra transmission!"
The First Elder shook his head and stepped forward, extending his hand as he spoke in a low voice.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
When the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was taken, there had been no reaction at all—it had simply vanished.
But this time, someone was "stealing" the Tenseigan's power right before their eyes. There was no way he would let this thief succeed!
"Understood."
The Second and Third Elders nodded simultaneously and began forming hand seals.
As their Chakra surged, the Tenseigan seemed to respond to their efforts, gradually becoming less active.
Its radiant glow dimmed bit by bit, and finally, under their combined efforts, it came to a halt.
However, the three elders' faces now showed signs of fatigue. For them, controlling the Tenseigan was proving to be an increasingly strenuous task.
"It seems someone down below truly has their sights set on our Tenseigan."
The First Elder spoke with a mix of suspicion and concern as he gazed at the now-calm Tenseigan.
This situation was highly unusual.
Although the Tenseigan had been activated once before, it had never displayed such behavior.
This could only mean that someone had managed to secretly share control over the Tenseigan!
"Could it be those traitors?"
The Third Elder asked with a scowl, his disdain for the beings below evident.
"After all, they possess 'pure Byakugan.' It's not impossible that they could achieve something like this."
"We can't be certain, but we also can't rule it out."
The Second Elder shook his head, turning to the First Elder.
"First Elder, were you able to track anything? Can we attempt to trace the source?"
"No, I couldn't track it. While we could try, I believe it's best not to proceed."
The First Elder pondered for a moment before ultimately shaking his head.
"We know our own limitations. Just severing the Tenseigan's Chakra transmission has already left us exhausted. If those below attempt to influence the Tenseigan again, can we withstand it?"
The Second Elder fell silent at this question. Indeed, in their current state, another attempt might truly overwhelm them.
"So we're just going to let this go?"
The Third Elder gritted his teeth, clearly unwilling to accept the situation.
The First Elder could only sigh and respond.
"We won't let it end here. We will investigate further, but for now, we must consider our current state.
Even if we're not afraid to die, we must think about Toneri's future. He still needs our guidance."
At the mention of Toneri, the Third Elder reluctantly held his tongue.
Toneri was indeed their hope for the future. Though he was naturally attuned to the Tenseigan, he lacked his own eyes and still required their guidance and teachings.
"Hmph, fine. For now, we'll let this go. But next time, we'll find that damned thief!"
While the elders on the moon seethed with anger, back in Konohagakure, Kitagawa Minamoto quietly deactivated his Tenseigan.
"They're surprisingly sharp. They noticed as soon as I made a move?"
Gazing at the moonlit sky, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The experience he had just undergone was truly extraordinary.
The Tenseigan on the moon had resonated with his own eyes, even granting him partial control over it!
"The insights into the Tenseigan's abilities are impressive, but compared to gaining control over it, they pale in comparison..."
Under his control, the massive Tenseigan was capable of transmitting Chakra directly to him!
Moreover...
"It seems I might even be able to harness the Tenseigan's power to unleash a devastating attack?"
Images of the Ōtsutsuki clan's internal conflicts on the moon flashed through his mind—scenes of the branch family using the purple Tenseigan to bombard the main family.
"Even if I can't replicate that, being able to fire off a single shot..."
The thought excited Minamoto. This "orbital cannon" style of attack could easily become his ultimate trump card.
If anyone dared provoke him, he might just let them experience what "divine retribution" truly meant!
"Still, it seems there are others besides Toneri alive on the moon, and they appear to have significant control over the Tenseigan."
Minamoto's gaze lingered on the moon for a moment longer before a smile crept onto his face.
"Well, now that I've pinpointed their location, it won't be long before I pay them a visit..."
