Over the next few months, Ye Liang finally understood what people meant by "stingy as hell and wouldn't give you the shirt off his back!"
No matter how much he pleaded or bargained, Toneri Otsutsuki refused to give in to his demands. In the end, he had no choice but to go with his riskiest method yet.
"I'll study it myself!"
"Heck no! I'm a human too! If you won't teach me, then I'll just study it myself!"
Ye Liang grabbed a handful of those eye-like beads when Toneri was away. He was currently living at the peak of a high mountain—to stay close to Toneri's place, and more importantly, to keep Toneri from running off. If Toneri ever got fed up with his nagging and decided to move out, everything would be ruined.
Ye Liang already understood the Moon's conditions. Except for the high mountain where Toneri lived, there was absolutely no oxygen elsewhere. If he went outside, he might very well suffocate to death!
Clutching his homemade pile of stones, although the Moon didn't rain, the nighttime air was bitterly cold. With Toneri's help, he had set up a fire-element barrier, barely enabling him to survive here.
He held onto the eyes.
"[Tenseigan]? I remember this was part of the movie plot," Ye Liang muttered to himself. It had been too long—he couldn't clearly remember anymore.
Besides, his memory had been damaged, making it even harder to recall details of the movie's story.
"I remember this thing probably requires implanting a Hyūga's eyes [a powerful clan known for their all-seeing Byakugan]. What if I give it a try?" He rubbed his own eyes, but then suddenly shivered.
"Better not. There's no surgical room here! I'd probably die from the pain!"
Holding the bead, he injected a bit of Chakra into it.
Since he had abandoned the original method, he had to think of a different approach. After connecting his consciousness with his internal Chakra, Ye Liang easily perceived the world inside the bead.
It was a world made of countless blood vessels.
Since the bead used to be an eyeball, blood vessels made perfect sense. His consciousness floated inside, and soon he saw some moving cells.
Are these platelets?
Looking at the various cells, Ye Liang recognized some. In his previous life, he had watched a show called Cells at Work!, so he knew quite a bit about the functions of human cells.
"If this eye must absorb energy to evolve into a [Tenseigan], then definitely, the energy carrier within the body would be red blood cells."
Though he wasn't sure which specific cell needed the Chakra, he reasoned, "If I channel Chakra into the red blood cells, they should definitely do the job!"
Thought into action!
Among the many cells, Ye Liang found a very familiar red blood cell and directly injected his Chakra into it.
Sure enough!
As soon as the red blood cell made contact with the Chakra, it immediately surged through the blood vessels, carrying the Chakra with lightning speed!
"Great! As long as there's enough Chakra in the eyeball, it will definitely evolve into a [Tenseigan]!" Before he could finish feeling happy, the eye in his hand suddenly exploded!
Like a grenade that had been secretly armed, it exploded without the slightest warning!
He furrowed his brows.
"What the hell just happened?"
Calm and focused, Ye Liang gathered himself and carefully examined the patterns.
"It's because I used too much force!"
He saw a blood vessel burst from chakra pressure and immediately understood!
These vessels were extremely fine—some as small as several nanometers in diameter. Such tiny structures could easily burst even from the slightest chakra pressure!
This was quite problematic!
He could infuse chakra, but doing so into such delicate eyeballs was a challenge.
One eyeball contained 120 million cells!
Discarding the useless white blood cells, red blood cells, and macrophages responsible for clearing bacteria, there were still tens of millions of ordinary cells and platelets left to replenish!
To infuse chakra into so many cells would probably take several years to complete.
"Damn it! I'm coming for you!"
Five years later...
Like a great artist, Ye Liang let himself go completely. His hair had grown down to his knees, and stubble had sprouted on his face.
"Haha! I did it! I actually did it!" He laughed maniacally, holding a golden human eyeball glowing with white light!
"So this is the Tenseigan!"
Beside him, Toneri looked at the eyeball in Ye Liang's hand in astonishment. Although he knew of the Rinnegan, he had never actually created one himself.
"Toneri, you bastard! You made me waste all that time! Don't even think about me taking you to Earth now!"
"Hmph! I'm not even interested!" Toneri pouted.
Sure thing.
Although they were fooling around, their relationship had become extremely close. After all, five years of companionship wasn't something that could just be forgotten. During this time, Ye Liang had also learned the truth.
The method Toneri used wasn't suitable for him; he needed a living person's eyeball to ritually forge a Tenseigan!
In the original story, Toneri used the Six Paths' secret technique to teleport directly to Earth, but now his powers were very weak, and he didn't possess such ability!
Actually, during these five years, Toneri had been practicing the teleportation secret technique, and today, he succeeded...
Seeing Toneri disappear directly from the spot, Ye Liang was completely stunned!
"All this effort I spent forging the Tenseigan, what was it for!" He gently touched the eyeball, and instantly a powerful ocular energy wrapped around his body. Then, with a slight movement, Ye Liang vanished from the Moon.
Earth.
Iwagakure Mountains.
Black Zetsu stared blankly at the massive God Tree, which had transformed into his long-cherished mother, Kaguya Hime!
Ye Liang was watching nearby, saying, "Black Zetsu! Since I helped you fulfill your wish, you should help me travel through time and space now, right? That impostor actually stole my time-space turtle!
I'll make sure he suffers a long and agonizing death!"
Black Zetsu nodded gravely.
"Of course! Bro Ye Liang, you did me such a big favor. How could I possibly go back on my word?"
"You called me what, Black Zetsu!"
Ye Liang's pupils immediately flared with anger. "Aren't you supposed to call me Master!"
"Master? Ha! Ye Liang, you fool!"
"I've successfully resurrected my mother. You wretched fool, do you really think you stand a chance against her?"
Black Zetsu burst into arrogant laughter.
From behind him, Kaguya Hime stepped forward. "So you're the one who helped bring me back," she murmured, staring at Ye Liang with a sudden teasing expression.
"Sorry! My child has suffered so much from you. Just go die!" As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of immense repulsive force struck Ye Liang!
Following that, a terrifying Shinigami-like death aura manifested around her. She extended her smooth, flawless hands toward Ye Liang!
[All-Killing Ash Bones]!
Even Ye Liang, as a Heart Demon, could sense the scent of death from those hands.
