Chapter 227: Destruction of the Moon [77]
Chapter 227: Destruction of the Moon [77]
An amount of chakra equivalent to dozens of Fengye's exploded in an instant.
Such power was difficult for even Fengye to create. The Kusanagi Sword couldn't contain such immense energy, and his physical body was neither capable of holding nor controlling it.
But...
When Otsutsuki She used the giant Rinnegan to absorb Fengye's chakra, the enormous amount of chakra injected into the Rinnegan as a vessel finally caused an explosion of nearly tens of times that amount.
At this moment, the dazzling white light not only illuminated the entire moon as bright as day, but also turned the world below, where the shinobi villages resided, into a blinding white expanse.
It resembled the scene of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The dazzling light caused countless people to involuntarily shut their eyes, unable to bear the glare, and even with their eyes closed, they felt a piercing pain in their eyeballs.
"What's happening?!"
"What's going on?!"
"What is this light? Are there enemies?!"
The Hidden Rock Village, Cloud Village, Sand Village, and Mist Village all fell into chaos.
Even the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, and others were caught in the turmoil, adopting the most vigilant stances.
Onoki even prepared to launch his Particle Style jutsu, holding it in the palm of his hand.
The other villages were in similar states of disarray.
Only Konoha maintained a semblance of order.
Outside the spatial passage leading to the moon, Tsunade, Yahiko Ne, Kakashi, and others stood guard, enveloping the passage with a barrier.
Uzumaki Kushina was also present, employing the most powerful Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, ready to seal any enemy that dared escape from within.
"It's too dazzling..."
"What's with this light... What's happening on the moon?!"
Kakashi and the others couldn't help but shut their eyes against the piercing white light in the sky. Unlike the chaotic state of the other ninja villages, they knew that this bright light must be related to Fengye.
However, there was nothing they could do at this moment but follow Fengye's instructions to maintain the barrier and seal, awaiting further news from him.
"Fengye..."
Yahiko's expression was tense as she maintained a corner of the barrier.
Like everyone present, she was well aware of Fengye's strength and trusted in his capabilities. But Fengye was now on the moon, facing a legendary clan! The fact that he had asked them to set up this barrier and seal showed that he didn't have absolute confidence in dealing with the situation single-handedly; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cautious.
"Please don't let anything happen to him..."
Kakashi shared her tension.
Konoha absolutely couldn't afford to lose Fengye at this point! If something unexpected happened to him, Konoha's current dominance would immediately face a backlash from the entire ninja world, leading to another great shinobi war.
...
In what felt like both an instant and an eternity, the white light that blotted out the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the moon once more—though it was no longer appropriate to call it that, as the moon had ceased to exist.
Only fragments remained, floating in the vast emptiness of space.
Under the force of that explosion, the moon had been completely obliterated.
"Cough... Cough..."
A fit of violent coughing broke the silence.
On one of the fragments, Otsutsuki She's figure appeared. The Treasure of Seeking Immortality on his body had completely vanished, and his Six Paths robe was tattered and torn, his entire body covered in grievous wounds.
These injuries twitched feebly, yet they showed no signs of healing.
The chakra fluctuations emanating from his body had also become extremely weak.
"Damn..."
"To actually destroy the moon..."
He clenched his teeth tightly, struggling to stand upright.
Even his powerful chakra had been completely depleted in withstanding the explosion, so Fengye must have had a hard time resisting it too.
As this thought crossed his mind, a glint returned to his eyes. If Fengye had been utterly annihilated by that explosion, then it would all be worth it! Even if it meant the destruction of his entire clan.
It was a sacrifice for the will of their ancestor, Otsutsuki Hagoromo! And he was still alive; he could go to the Ninja World, bear children again, and continue to pass on the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, ensuring its survival.
But...
Just as this thought crossed his mind.
A sword pierced through his heart, emerging from his back. The blade was imbued with senjutsu chakra, destroying the last traces of the Six Paths power within him.
"A little overcooked this time..." Fengye muttered, appearing behind Otsutsuki She. He gently exhaled and glanced at the remnants of the moon, now little more than fragments floating in the vastness of space. His left hand reached out towards Otsutsuki She.
Blood trickled from the corner of Otsutsuki She's mouth as he stared at the sword protruding from his chest and felt a hand reaching for his eye from behind. Fear gripped him as he beheld the white eye that had been taken from his body, now resting in Fengye's palm.
"No... no..." he pleaded.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" he screamed in agony.
With that, a pair of white eyes fell into Fengye's hand.
Holding the Byakugan, taken from Otsutsuki She, Fengye sensed the power within—a power distinct from that of the Hyuga clan. These were higher-order eyes, enhanced by the chakra of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and they belonged to a direct descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, making them a purer form of the bloodline.
When the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and the body of a sage were combined, they could give rise to the Rinnegan. So, what would happen if the Otsutsuki clan's Byakugan were fused with the body of a sage?
There could only be one answer: the Tenseigan!
Without hesitation, Fengye pressed the Byakugan towards his eye socket. The power within the eye, inherited from Otsutsuki Hagoromo, immediately flowed through his body, merging with his sage form.
