Because of the system, Toneri had no idea that he was absolutely obedient to Momoshiki. He just felt unable to generate any hostility or any desire to resist.
What was even more ridiculous was that his eye sockets, which originally had no eyeballs, now had two bulging things.
He reached out in confusion and touched them. They were two eyeballs.
His trembling hands shook twice in disbelief. Toneri's eyes widened instantly, and color first integrated into his pupils, forming an exquisite picture on his cerebral cortex.
He... he has eyes?!
No, wait! These eyes are problematic!!
Toneri suddenly felt something. He suppressed the shock and excitement in his heart and carefully felt the power of his eyes.
There was no mistake, it was that thing!
Kinshiki also widened his eyes in shock, watching his eyes evolve from Byakugan to Tenseigan.
"Lord Momoshiki! This..."
For Kinshiki, this was completely beyond his comprehension, utterly defying common sense.
Byakugan just turned into Tenseigan like that? What a joke?!
But after all, he was directly revived through the system panel, and all his ability attributes were fully gathered.
Kinshiki was like this, and Toneri was naturally the same.
"What beautiful eyes."
Looking at the blue eyes, Momoshiki admired them, then jumped down from Kinshiki's shoulder and slowly walked towards Toneri.
Kinshiki and Furina quickly followed.
Toneri was still shocked as to why he had suddenly obtained the Tenseigan. Since his hostility was gone, he didn't care at all that Momoshiki walked in front of him.
After arriving in front of him, Furina also looked at Toneri's eyes with some confusion.
They were very similar to Byakugan, but there was always a very strange aura, as if they had undergone an ultimate evolution. In short, they were very powerful.
"Lord Momoshiki..."
Kinshiki was about to ask why he had the Tenseigan, when Momoshiki slowly raised his right hand, directly aiming at Toneri's eyes.
In an instant, a powerful suction directly stripped away the power of the Tenseigan.
Feeling the loss of power, Toneri froze, but he had no thought of resisting. He just felt that contributing his power to Momoshiki was a matter of course.
Soon, this eye degenerated into a Byakugan.
The Rinnegan in his palm rotated slightly, waiting to absorb the tenfold amplified power.
It had to be said, this bug was really awesome.
Although it couldn't be used on himself, he could completely create external organs, setting them as a four-dimensional superposition state, invisible, intangible, yet truly existing, just like Sasuke's Rinnegan.
Given the discovery of this bug, the shop had completely become a joke.
Seeing the power of the Tenseigan being stripped away like that, Kinshiki's worldview was once again refreshed.
But soon, something even more shocking happened. Momoshiki placed his left hand on Toneri's eye, and before long, Toneri's Tenseigan reappeared.
Feeling his eyes evolve again, Toneri's brain also short-circuited.
"This..."
Toneri was about to say something when he met Momoshiki's calm, white eyes.
"You should know who granted you this eye. To possess this power, you should know what you need to do, right?"
The meaning of his words was very simple. Toneri was a smart man, and he could naturally understand, especially with the system's loyalty buff.
So Toneri naturally knelt on one knee, saying solemnly:
"Your subordinate, Otsutsuki Toneri, is willing to follow Lord Momoshiki!"
He didn't understand why he had so easily pledged allegiance to Momoshiki, but he didn't want to understand. At this moment, his new thought was to be eternally loyal to Momoshiki, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
He had to once again marvel at the system's power.
"Very good."
Momoshiki's lips curled slightly, then he directly bypassed Toneri and walked towards the palace.
Kinshiki glanced at Toneri, then quickly followed.
Furina kindly helped him up and also caught up with Momoshiki.
Although Furina was completely bewildered throughout, she also knew that some things were better left unasked. She just followed behind Momoshiki.
Toneri also followed, and soon they arrived at the palace.
It was the same as in his memory, familiar architecture, and traces of puppets everywhere.
Momoshiki was just here to visit the scene from the anime.
"Lord Momoshiki."
Toneri called out softly, then voluntarily became a tour guide, briefly introducing the various operations here, and matters concerning the puppets.
He even recounted the secrets of many things in detail, including the giant device that operated the Tenseigan.
There was indeed a very strong power inside, and it could also be absorbed, but Momoshiki wasn't interested in it.
This thing couldn't be used on a human body. The eyes simply couldn't adapt, so he couldn't pluck out eyeballs. Even if he strengthened it, it wouldn't be as good as devouring a star.
Furina, however, was very interested in this moon palace, looking left and right everywhere, anyone who didn't know would think she was here for tourism.
After dawdling for a while, they came to a spacious hall. It was time for Momoshiki to get down to business.
A new subordinate was waiting to be claimed.
Momoshiki slightly closed his eyes. The power of the Destruction Aeon began to surge, mixing with chakra, directly breaking through the surface and rushing into the moon's interior.
There was indeed a seal. For the people of the Ninja World, breaking it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but in front of Momoshiki, it was like paper, easily torn apart.
Then he saw a humanoid thing, very blurry, without any power, unable to even move.
This was the target of their trip.
Momoshiki's finger moved slightly, directly pulling it out from the moon's core.
A rumbling sound rang out. The floor was smashed open with a huge crack. Kaguya Otsutsuki thus broke through the seal, and was pulled in front of Momoshiki, looking bewildered.
Seeing the thing he was supposed to guard break through the seal, Toneri's heart had no fluctuations. He just calmly watched this ancestor of his bloodline.
If it were normal times, Toneri would definitely be anxious, but now that he had pledged allegiance to Momoshiki, he naturally wasn't worried.
Kaguya clearly didn't understand what had happened. Having just broken through the seal, she was still as innocent and pure as a blank sheet of paper, just looking at Momoshiki with a puzzled expression.
But soon, those dormant memories gradually awakened, and Kaguya's gaze gradually changed from a naive, sweet look to terror.
"Otsutsuki..."
She muttered, her body trembling slightly.
The suppression Momoshiki brought upon her was too great. This was not only a suppression of strength, but also a suppression of bloodline.
Furina carefully scrutinized the Otsutsuki clan member being held in the air by Momoshiki.
So this was the often-mentioned Kaguya.
She indeed had a very powerful aura. Although Furina couldn't feel it very clearly, she could tell that Kaguya had the aura of the Divine Tree, very similar to Momoshiki's. It was possible she had eaten a Divine Tree fruit.
"Otsutsuki Kaguya..."
Kinshiki looked at the traitor in front of him, not making any moves, just quietly waiting for Momoshiki's performance.
After all, Momoshiki had said he would take Kaguya as his subordinate, so he naturally tried to avoid fighting.
"You... Mo... Mo..."
Kaguya, terrified, tried to cover her neck, but she couldn't move at all. Instead, she was enveloped by the pressure and continuously lost vitality.
"No..."
She couldn't even utter a single word. Her bodily functions even began to stop. Despite desperately trying to break free, she was as futile as a rabbit held in a hand.
At this moment, Kaguya didn't understand why it wasn't the black substance she had left behind that pulled her out of the seal, but this Otsutsuki noble in front of her.
She had guarded against her clan her entire life, but in the end, she still met this fate.
It was impossible for Kaguya not to be unwilling. After all, she hadn't been brainwashed by the Otsutsuki mission. She naturally didn't want to willingly become nourishment for the Divine Tree, which was why she had ambushed Isshiki.
She had struggled for so long, been treated as a monster, misunderstood by her sons, and even sealed for a thousand years, yet in the end, she was still judged.
Tears flowed from Kaguya's eyes, making her look incredibly pitiful.
But Momoshiki merely moved his finger, and Kaguya's body trembled, her head tilted, and she became still.
Furina was startled again, looking at Momoshiki in disbelief.
Even knowing he had such thoughts, she didn't expect Momoshiki to be so clean and decisive in killing.
Momoshiki sensed Furina's greatly shocked heart, and turned his head speechlessly.
Kaguya's body, which had lost its aura, suddenly began to emit particles. Then the particles continuously reassembled, like the power of rebirth, condensing in the air, then returning to Kaguya's corpse.
The already dead Kaguya suddenly stirred, opening her eyes in confusion, seemingly not understanding what had happened.
"Huh?!"
This scene left Furina dumbfounded.
She had clearly died, her bodily functions were gone, yet she was alive again?!
Just as she was about to ask Momoshiki what he was doing, her head was suddenly tapped.
"Ouch!"
Furina squatted on the ground, rubbing her head, glaring at Momoshiki angrily.
"What are you thinking about all day?"
Momoshiki looked at Furina inexplicably.
On the other side, Kaguya blinked, memories surged in again, and she remembered that she had died. Her body immediately trembled again.
Feeling that the power binding her was gone, Kaguya swallowed nervously, a little scared.
This was the first time she had faced death so closely, or rather, touched death. It was impossible not to be afraid. After all, she wasn't like Toneri, who died instantly. She clearly knew she was going to die.
"Mo... Lord Mo..."
Kaguya's lips moved, seemingly wanting to say something, but due to the bloodline suppression, she didn't dare to speak.
Now, she didn't know what was going on. Normally, she would try to escape, but now she couldn't even generate such a thought.
She even wanted to obey any of Momoshiki's demands, paying the price of betraying the Otsutsuki clan, even if it meant death.
What exactly was going on...?
Kaguya didn't know, but she inexplicably didn't want to think, only wanting to wait for Momoshiki's judgment.
But Momoshiki seemed to completely ignore Kaguya.
"Alright, I just tapped your head. Do you have to be so angry?"
Momoshiki squatted down helplessly, and uncharacteristically rubbed Furina's head, which earned him another angry glare.
"Do you want to ask if this planet can withstand you tapping it?"
Furina pouted, complaining. A small bump rose on her head, and her ahoge drooped to the side. She had clearly suffered a critical hit of a billion points.
"What a good head," Momoshiki chuckled playfully.
"You!"
Furina's forehead developed a hash mark, her face visibly reddened. She clenched her fist and punched Momoshiki's shoulder.
It didn't hurt or itch, like a fly hitting him. It was clearly just her acting cute.
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Space twisted. Furina disappeared out of thin air, running into the Kamui Dimension.
Kaguya: "???"
...
Ninja World.
In a certain wilderness.
In the shadow of a tree, a flytrap-like head grew out of the ground, and then its body crawled out.
It was humanoid, wearing black clothes with red auspicious clouds, and its skin was pure black.
It was Black Zetsu.
At this moment, it was completely bewildered, feeling it over and over again in disbelief.
There was no mistake, this must be the bloodline connection!
As a trace of residue split from Kaguya, it suddenly felt an invisible connection, and this connection wasn't even on this planet.
The answer was already very clear. Someone had definitely released Mother ahead of time!
Black Zetsu sat blankly under the tree, not understanding what his thousand-year plan had become now.
It was clearly about to be realized, the plan had clearly reached its most crucial moment, and all his efforts were clearly about to be rewarded.
But the goal was just completed like that.
If conditions allowed, he would need a clown mask at this moment.
However, his adaptability was quite strong. After sitting for a while, he patted his butt and stood up.
"No matter who released Mother, and no matter what happened, at least all of this is complete."
Self-brainwashing, Black Zetsu's expression began to become joyful. He looked at the blue sky and directly knelt down.
"Mother——!!"
