Inside the moon—on a battlefield lit by an artificial sun.
The atmosphere had condensed to an oppressive stillness.
The Ōtsutsuki main family and branch family, who moments ago had been locked in a life-and-death struggle, now displayed an astonishing tacit understanding as they faced this sudden intruder.
"Arrogant low-realm trash!"
The clan leader slammed his scepter into the ground. His aged face twisted with fury, eyes brimming with killing intent.
"They actually want us to kneel?!"
"Who do you think you are— the Sage of Six Paths?!"
An elder of the main family clenched his teeth. Though they opposed the internal schism and the destruction of Earth, they would never allow outsiders to defile the divine relics left behind by their ancestor.
"Everyone! Join forces and kill this intruder!"
"We must not let him leave the moon alive! This is a desecration of our ancestor, Hamura!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill him!!"
In an instant, all hatred shifted targets.
Thousands of Ōtsutsuki, accompanied by a massive puppet army, surged toward Tobirama Senju, who hovered calmly in midair, like a locust swarm blotting out the sky.
Multicolored chakra beams, gigantic puppet constructs, and even specialized gravitational ninjutsu merged into a single torrent of destruction.
The scale alone was enough to annihilate an entire hidden village.
At the center of it all, Tobirama stood unmoving—his hands still tucked casually into his pockets.
He looked down at the charging Ōtsutsuki with a cruel smile, his gaze no different from someone watching moths willingly hurl themselves into a fire.
"Join forces?"
"Two piles of ants are still just ants."
"Let me show you what real… divine power looks like."
A thought crossed Tobirama's mind.
"Truth-Seeking Orbs."
Buzz—
Nine jet-black spheres, each no larger than a fist, appeared behind him.
They seemed unremarkable, devoid of chakra fluctuations—yet the space around them subtly warped.
These were Truth-Seeking Orbs, the ultimate manifestation of yin-yang mastery, formed by combining all seven chakra natures.
Ninjutsu meant nothing before them. Upon contact, techniques were erased completely—existence itself nullified.
"Go."
Tobirama spoke softly.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
The nine orbs shot forward, expanding in midair and morphing instantly into countless black spears, blades, and towering shields that met the incoming assault head-on.
Sizzle!
The violent chakra beams vanished on contact, like snow melting in boiling water.
The supposedly indestructible puppets were obliterated by a mere graze of the black weapons, leaving not even debris behind.
"What?! Ninjutsu doesn't work!"
"What the hell is that thing?!"
The front line of Ōtsutsuki screamed in terror.
Tobirama gave them no time to react.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Countless black blades tore through the crowd, harvesting lives with ruthless efficiency.
"Aaaargh!!"
"Help! Don't come any closer!!"
"My arms! My body— they're gone!!"
This was not a battle.
It was a massacre.
No defense could withstand the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Even the slightest contact caused whatever was touched to be erased completely.
In less than a minute, the once-dense army was gone.
There were no corpses, no blood—only empty space where they had existed.
All that remained was suffocating fear, and a few hundred survivors frozen in midair, paralyzed by terror.
"T-the devil… he's a devil…"
The clan leader trembled violently as he watched his army vanish, barely able to hold his scepter.
"This power… it surpasses even our ancestor Hamura… this is true godhood…"
"Stop standing there in shock!"
An elder roared in despair.
"It can't be stopped! Conventional attacks are useless!"
"Go to the shrine! Use that!"
"Only the power of the Tenseigan can kill him!!"
"Yes—Tenseigan!!"
The clan leader snapped out of his daze, madness flickering in his eyes.
"Everyone! Pour in your chakra! Activate the shrine!"
The remaining Ōtsutsuki, grasping at their last hope, fled desperately toward the massive castle-like shrine at the center of the moon.
They were staking everything on this final gamble.
Tobirama did not pursue.
The Truth-Seeking Orbs drifted back behind him, hovering silently.
"Tenseigan…"
"Good. Saves me the trouble of hunting you down one by one."
"Since you want to use it against me, let's see what this so-called Tenseigan can really do."
…
At the moon's core—the Hamura Shrine.
A colossal golden mechanism slowly rose from the ground.
At its center floated an enormous yellow eye, as large as a small sun.
It was formed from tens of thousands of fused Byakugan—the giant Tenseigan.
The pressure from its ocular power distorted space itself, dimming even the artificial sun.
"Invader!!"
The clan leader stood beneath the Tenseigan, both hands pressed against the control altar, his expression twisted.
"This is our divine relic—the crystallization of our entire race's power! It can destroy planets!"
"Even if you're a god, you will die here today!!"
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!!"
Boom!!!
The Tenseigan erupted with blinding golden light.
A massive golden chakra blade formed instantly, stretching between heaven and earth.
So vast was its size that it seemed capable of cleaving the moon in two.
With overwhelming force, it slashed straight down at Tobirama.
"Die!!!"
Beneath a strike powerful enough to split a planet, Tobirama hovered like a speck of dust.
Yet his expression remained maddeningly calm.
"Destroy the planet?"
"That's it?"
He raised his right hand. The power of the Six Paths and the Truth-Seeking Orbs surged together from his palm.
No flashy techniques.
Just raw force.
"Six Paths · Shinra Tensei · Absolute Repulsion!"
Boom!!
The golden blade crashed into an invisible wall of repulsive force.
The moon's interior collapsed instantly—land shattered, oceans flooded in, floating islands rained down.
It was as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Break, you bastard!!"
Tobirama snarled, his pupils blazing.
Crack!
The moon-cleaving blade shattered into fragments before him.
The repulsive force surged upward along its path and slammed directly into the giant Tenseigan.
"No—!!!"
The clan leaders and elders screamed in despair.
Boom!!
The shrine exploded.
All defensive barriers crumpled like paper.
The remaining Ōtsutsuki were reduced to bloody mist by the aftershock.
When the dust settled, the shrine lay in ruins.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan—main family and branch family alike—was completely erased.
No survivors.
Tobirama walked through the rubble, step by step, toward the center.
There, the massive Tenseigan still hovered, its light dimmed, wrapped in a faint protective barrier.
"Pretty sturdy."
He stopped before it, gazing at the treasure that contained immense ocular power.
"From today on, your surname is Uchiha."
Ignoring the barrier, Tobirama thrust his hand directly into the Tenseigan's core.
"Plunder."
Buzz!
The Tenseigan trembled violently, resisting.
But under the absolute suppression of his ocular power, it stood no chance.
The vast eye power poured into Tobirama like a river rushing into the sea.
"Seal."
With a thought, Tobirama compressed it using spatial principles, reducing the massive eye to a small orb and grasping it in his hand—like a golden glass bead.
As the Tenseigan was removed, the moon's interior plunged into darkness.
The artificial sun lost its power and began to die.
"Done."
Tobirama toyed with the orb, thoroughly satisfied.
An entire clan erased—and the core cheat item of a movie-level boss acquired.
A perfect haul.
At that moment, a long-silent system notification echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for destroying the Moon Ōtsutsuki Clan!]
[Ding! Core weapon acquired: Giant Tenseigan!]
[Fusion conditions met!]
[Begin fusion?]
"Fusion."
[Ding! Fusion initiated!]
[Extracting Tenseigan ocular power… Integrating with Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan…]
Boom!
Several minutes later, Tobirama lowered his hand and opened his eyes.
What had once been an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—
Had completely transformed.
The red vanished, replaced by brilliant azure. White ripples spread outward, while golden magatama floated at the center.
[Ding! Fusion complete!]
[Congratulations! New eye obtained: Six Paths Reincarnation Mangekyō Sharingan!]
[New abilities unlocked: Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion (no side effects), Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Puppet Reincarnation (absolute resurrection control), Spatial Freeze!]
Tobirama felt the overflowing power in his eyes.
A feral smile curved his lips.
"Now…"
"Even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya were revived, I could still pin her down and make her call me 'father.'"
He glanced at the abandoned lunar space.
"They're useless to us now."
"Return to Konoha."
