The ceiling of Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime's castle was completely torn open by the massive butterfly wings. The artificial moonlight spilled down gently, and within the drifting dust, a graceful figure stood veiled under the hazy moonlight, flickering between shadow and light.
From the edge of the battlefield, Uchiha Gin's pupils suddenly shrank upon seeing the mysterious silhouette. In an instant, his red Sharingan was overtaken by a blue-white glow, and his Byakugan widened as he tried to get a clear look at the figure.
"Clan leader, forgive me."
A sweet, charming voice rang out as the wings behind the silhouette flapped gently, dispersing the floating dust around her and revealing the person's appearance.
The once large-sized Ōtsutsuki Biroku was gone. Standing at the center was a tall, alluring woman. Her white eyes shimmered with affection, a high nose, plump lips that glistened temptingly—she was the very picture of sensual beauty. Her long, slightly curled white hair draped lazily over her shoulders, enhancing her lazy and seductive vibe.
"Tch! Told you, girl, you'd look amazing if you slimmed down~"
Clearly stunned by Biroku's transformation, Gin couldn't help but praise her loudly. His blue-white eyes stared at her with admiration, like a connoisseur appreciating a rare treasure.
And when he noticed that her… assets hadn't diminished at all post-transformation, the gleam in his eyes intensified.
"Gin-sama, this is my true form. Thank you for letting me become myself again… Huh? Why does my chest feel heavy?"
Proud of her new butterfly-transformed figure, Biroku raised her chin with confidence, her gratitude overflowing. Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it might leap out, yet something thick seemed to block it, puzzling her.
"Wait… was I always this big?"
Only now did she notice the mountainous size of her chest. It hadn't sagged at all despite its mass, looking like it had been reinforced by a Doton jutsu. It stood proudly under the moonlight, holding Gin's gaze captive.
"Ahem, just second puberty, don't be alarmed."
Sensing the heat of his own gaze, Gin scratched his head awkwardly and gave a very "professional" explanation.
"Really?"
As a high elder of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Biroku was not easily fooled. She raised a delicate brow, looking at him suspiciously, making Gin feel a twinge of guilt.
"Sigh… maybe your transformation jutsu still needs refinement. Practice more when we're back, and try to refine it away."
Gin sighed internally. It was like watching a rare treasure slip from his grasp. His face clearly betrayed his reluctance.
"If Gin-sama likes it, then I won't refine it~"
That subtle glance didn't escape Biroku's sharp perception. Understanding the reason, she boldly lowered her arms and even pushed her chest out slightly, creating an impressive ripple. Her white eyes full of teasing, she said in a charming voice:
"Understood!"
Gin's heart trembled at her words, and he instinctively gave a thumbs-up. His grin was unstoppable.
But just as he basked in his victory, he noticed that far away, Tsukihime had been silently preparing another attack. Several new chakra spheres, more potent than the ones before, had formed behind her, all aimed directly at Biroku.
"Watch out!"
Gin's heart tightened. He immediately clapped his hands together, chakra surging with Mokuton (Wood Release).
"Gin-sama, don't worry. I'm in good condition now."
Biroku, facing the incoming orbs, didn't show a shred of fear. With a serene smile, she flapped her enormous butterfly wings—several blue flames shot out from them, colliding with the glowing orbs.
BOOM!!
The clash of energies created a massive shockwave. Fierce chakra and pressure tore through the castle, and the observatory with no roof was now fully open to the night sky.
"Clan leader, please come to your senses!"
Enhanced by her transformation, Biroku now wielded power several times greater than before. Watching the crazed expression in Tsukihime's Byakugan, she frowned. She had only seen this state once before.
"RAAAAAHH!"
Tsukihime, fully overtaken by her berserk mode, didn't listen to a word. She spread her arms and howled at the moon, chakra flaring around her. She then rushed at Biroku with astonishing speed.
Seeing her charging like a meteor, Biroku flapped her wings and became a streak of blue lightning, intercepting her path to protect Gin.
Before Tsukihime could reach Gin, Biroku appeared in her way, hands glowing with chakra. Her Byakugan locked onto her opponent.
"Forgive me!"
Just as Tsukihime arrived, Biroku summoned several massive glowing fists behind her. This technique—Shinkūgeki (Divine Sky Strike)—was an ancient secret jutsu, passed down only to the most elite of the clan.
"Shinkūgeki!"
The blue fists struck at Tsukihime's slender form.
ROAR!
With a feral cry, Tsukihime summoned her own azure fists. The two forces clashed midair in a furious, thunderous exchange.
"Ora ora ora!"
Gin peeked from behind a broken wall, his face stunned by the intense battle of fists above.
"This technique… looks a lot like Ancestor Kaguya's Yasogami Kūgeki (Eighty Divine Strikes). No wonder—it's one of the purest legacies. At least this branch kept the good stuff."
With a warm smile, he watched the inherited techniques of the Ōtsutsuki play out, and couldn't help but feel disdain for the messy fighting of those down on Earth.
Fighting all day—did they even inherit a fraction of their ancestor's skill?
"Whew… truly worthy of being our clan leader. Without the butterfly transformation, I couldn't stand a single exchange."
As the clash ended, Biroku, wiping sweat from her brow, praised her calm and untiring opponent.
"But I can't back down—not with Gin-sama watching me!"
With a flash in her white eyes, she dove forward again, wings flapping violently. In an instant, she was in front of Tsukihime.
"Let's move this fight. This isn't a suitable battleground."
Tsukihime's frenzied face twitched in confusion, but in the next moment, her arms were restrained. Biroku flapped her wings with full force, and the two vanished.
"Rghhh!"
Tsukihime struggled wildly. Her body surged with blue chakra. Biroku, though pierced by her chakra, clenched her teeth and flew toward a deserted sky island near the artificial moon.
Once she felt they were far enough, she threw Tsukihime away and steadied herself, taking a deep breath to calm the chaos in her chakra.
"This state…"
As clan elder for decades, Biroku had seen this berserk state only once before.
It was over twenty years ago, when remnants of the main branch attempted a coup. With all their efforts poured into researching the Tenseigan, the secondary branch was caught off guard and nearly wiped out.
At that time, Tsukihime had been in seclusion resonating with the Tenseigan. Forced to intervene, she had initially been overwhelmed. But at the critical moment, a terrifying power erupted from within her, completely reversing the situation.
She massacred every last rebel.
Now, the trigger for her berserk state… was Uchiha Gin.
Only by defeating the one who awakened this madness could Tsukihime return to normal. Otherwise, she would remain trapped in her frenzy.
Knowing this, Biroku tightened her fists, feeling the overwhelming power from her butterfly transformation. She stepped forward and took a combat stance unique to the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Her soft red lips parted, her alluring voice filled with resolve:
"Then let me bring you back to your senses, clan leader!"
But the berserk Tsukihime could hear nothing. In her eyes, everyone who stood in her way…
…was the enemy.
Only the dead… were not enemies.
