On the moon.
Inside the grand temple, three elders sat in meditation, teaching Shēren the knowledge he needed to learn.
Although Shēren was born without eyes, his potential was boundless, and the three elders regarded him as the future hope of their lineage.
Even though he could see nothing, he had been subjected to strict discipline from a young age, with no room for idleness.
"Shēren, though things are difficult now, once you gain your eyes, you will be able to wield the power of the Tenseigan."
The Grand Elder looked at the panting Shēren and spoke earnestly.
"So endure a little longer and work hard. The will of our ancestors and the future of the world rest upon your shoulders."
"I understand. I won't let everyone down."
Shēren nodded. He had grown up hearing these words and had been working tirelessly toward this goal.
Despite the extra effort required due to his blindness, he never complained.
"Good."
All three elders nodded in satisfaction, clearly pleased with Shēren's attitude.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, all three elders sensed something unusual, and even Shēren immediately noticed the anomaly.
Turning to look, they saw the previously calm Tenseigan now surging with activity. Golden Chakra pulsed and leapt within it, clearly indicating that it had been activated once more!
It had been over a month since the last activation of the Tenseigan, during which the elders had mostly recovered.
They had been quietly waiting for the individual who had stolen the Tenseigan's power to make another move.
And now, that moment had finally arrived!
"Is it that person again?"
The Third Elder, the most extreme in temperament, rushed over and asked in a low voice.
"Have they finally come?"
"Don't be hasty."
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment before extending his hand, his Chakra faintly stirring.
"Assist me. I need to observe what's happening."
"Understood."
The Second and Third Elders nodded immediately, quickly forming seals to help the Grand Elder control the Tenseigan.
In an instant, with their assistance, the Grand Elder's consciousness used the power of the giant Tenseigan to gaze down upon the Shinobi World.
Distance became meaningless. Within a few breaths, his vision had traveled from the moon to the battlefield in the Land of Wind!
However, what he saw left him bewildered.
"What is it?"
"Did you find anything?"
The Second and Third Elders were puzzled, unable to understand the Grand Elder's reaction.
"That place..."
The Grand Elder spoke with some confusion.
"Suddenly, a large amount of Natural Energy has emerged, obscuring everything. I can't see clearly.
This wasn't there before! And worse, the Tenseigan's power isn't targeting an individual.
This is bad!"
At this, the Grand Elder's expression suddenly changed.
"That person... they're using the Tenseigan to attack an area covered in Natural Energy. Are they insane?"
"The Forbidden Land?"
The Third Elder's eyes lit up as he murmured.
"Why don't we help them? This could be a good opportunity to verify what's going on in those places."
"No!"
This time, before the Grand Elder could speak, the Second Elder interrupted.
"Have you forgotten what the ancestors wrote in the scrolls? Even if we want to observe, haven't you noticed?
The Tenseigan's energy output is too high, and it's affecting us. Moreover, our control over the Tenseigan seems to be weakening!"
As the Chakra surged more and more violently, the giant Tenseigan's operation became increasingly exaggerated.
While this amount of Chakra might not be significant for the Tenseigan, such intense activity was bound to have consequences!
Most importantly, their control over the Tenseigan seemed to be slipping away, as though a higher authority was wresting control from them.
If not for their proximity and their mastery of secret techniques, they might have already lost control entirely!
"Enough arguing. Regain control first."
After a moment of silence, the Grand Elder made a decision.
"We don't know what's happening below. We can only wait for further developments.
But the Tenseigan cannot continue like this, and we absolutely cannot lose control.
We cannot allow a second Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to appear!"
"Damn it! What the hell is going on?"
The Third Elder cursed, but there was nothing they could do as they watched the wildly operating Tenseigan.
What they failed to notice, however, was the strange expression on Shēren's face.
Born with a natural affinity for the Tenseigan and destined to wield its power, he could sense something they could not.
It seemed that the force controlling the Tenseigan was another, incredibly similar power...
Meanwhile, in the Land of Wind, the desert sands were bathed in moonlight.
Suddenly, an immense surge of energy erupted!
Initially, it was like scattered starlight. But in an instant, it expanded, the overwhelming Chakra sweeping across the entire region with unstoppable momentum.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
Under the deafening roar of this extreme Chakra surge, the ground trembled violently. Dust and sand swirled into the air, creating a storm that engulfed the battlefield.
Deep fissures opened in the desert floor. Even as the shifting sands tried to fill them, they seemed impossible to erase.
White light radiated continuously, illuminating the once-darkened sky as if it were daylight.
The dazzling brilliance was so intense that it was nearly impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Nearby, the ancient city of Roran was quickly caught in the chaos.
The radiant energy swept through the outskirts, reducing city walls and towering structures to rubble in an instant.
The destructive force continued to spread, tearing through the inner city and toppling countless buildings!
"Damn it!"
"What's happening?"
"AAAAHHHH!"
In the epicenter of the chaos, the newly arrived shinobi from Kumogakure and Sunagakure barely had time to react.
Before they could comprehend what was happening, their bodies were torn apart by the overwhelming energy.
Some managed to cry out in confusion, while others were silenced before they could even scream, consumed entirely by the white light.
"Damn it!"
Orochimaru couldn't help but curse. Without hesitation, he controlled Manda to open its massive jaws and leapt inside.
He immediately activated Reverse Summoning, attempting to escape this hellish scene.
But the white light had already enveloped Manda.
"Orochimaru, you bastard—"
Manda let out a mournful wail before being consumed by the light.
