Chapter 793: Earth-Moon Passage!
Earth-Moon Passage!
Found it.
After six months of searching, Hyuga Tsukimi finally located the target in the northern region of Konoha, which was like plowing through the land.
Note that this was only possible because Tang Ping had some clues to work with.
Without any leads, finding it would have been impossible.
For instance, they knew the passage was in the north of Konoha, and that it was located in a body of water reflecting light (Tang Ping hadn't finished watching the movie).
As for obtaining answers from Sheren's soul?
Tang Ping had naturally tried, but to no avail.
It seemed that the soul was special, either altered by the owner or inherently unique due to their Otsutsuki bloodline.
It was because they couldn't gather information from the soul that Hyuga Tsukimi had to spend such a long time searching.
This was all due to Tang Ping's orders; otherwise, Hyuga Tsukimi would never have spent so much time searching for a passage to the moon.
Although this mission might not involve combat, Tang Ping still brought along Mino and Quan.
Given the uncertainty of the situation, it was impossible to bring the entire Blazing Sun Heavenly Army.
As for why he chose Mino and Quan and not others?
Of course, it was because the others had their own missions, and these two were exceptionally suitable.
Take Mino, for example; her Lightning God Technique was no weaker than that of the Fourth Hokage, earning her the nickname 'Great Flash' in the ninja world.
Indeed, this nickname was given by Tang Ping.
In terms of the Lightning God Technique, she was no weaker than the Fourth Hokage, and with the resources she had access to from a young age, her fundamental attributes were even stronger. If she were to fight the Fourth Hokage, she would surpass him in every aspect except combat experience.
With just one technique, Mino's strength had increased to an astonishing level.
It's no wonder the Lightning God Technique was considered a divine skill, even though the prerequisites for mastering it were extremely rare. Once mastered, it was truly exceptional.
Take TenTen, for instance; she couldn't use the Lightning God Technique in combat.
Note that she also had spatial talent, but due to issues with her reaction nerves, using the Lightning God Technique in battle would result in her being unable to react in time.
With such a significant weakness, it was impossible for her to follow Mino's path; instead, she had to follow the 'firepower platform' route that Tang Ping had planned for her.
In simple terms, it was the route of overwhelming firepower.
While it might have some weaknesses in one-on-one combat, on the battlefield, it was undoubtedly a super-weapon.
TenTen's current strength was already worlds apart from what it had been before.
This was the benefit of choosing the right path.
Speaking of Mino, her combat prowess in 'personal combat' was undoubtedly at the T0 level. Even if she couldn't win, she would never lose, which was why Tang Ping brought her along.
As for Quan?
Due to her unique Mangekyo ability, she could easily protect herself even against a Hyper Shadow, which was why she was chosen.
Both Mino and Quan possessed formidable strength, not to mention their off-the-charts self-preservation skills, which was why Tang Ping brought them along on this operation, also providing them with an opportunity to gain some experience.
Traveling at full speed, it only took a few days to journey from the southernmost Skyguard Tower in the Fire Country to the northern mountain range.
Hyuga Tsukimi met them in front of a cave.
"You..."
Tang Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he noticed her poor condition.
Her face was pale, and her complexion weak.
She looked extremely frail.
"It's this..."
A faint smile appeared on Hyuga Tsukimi's face, and a black bone spike, capable of withering all things, emerged from her right palm.
Hiss! Tang Ping sucked in a breath of cold air, contributing to warming up the ninja world.
Even he reacted like this, let alone Mino and Quan.
Mino already had her Lightning God Kunai in hand, and Quan had her right hand subconsciously placed on her Kusanagi Sword.
In their field of vision, this black bone exuded an intimidating aura.
The reason for their strong reaction was that this bone was indeed extraordinary.
Co-Killing Ashbones!
The effect was well understood by those who knew.
Even a Six Paths-level ninja would be in trouble if stabbed by it.
It was a Six Paths-level super-weapon.
Even though she had just acquired it and was far from proficient in its use, it still signified that Hyuga Tsukimi had truly mastered this Bloodline Limit.
From this moment on, she was the true strongest in the ninja world.
This was the case unless a Six Paths-level ninja appeared.
Even if Uchiha Madara were to be resurrected and regain his Rinnegan, as long as he didn't become the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, he wouldn't be a match for Hyuga Tsukimi.
The prerequisite was that she could fully control the Co-Killing Ashbones.
At this moment, the only thing that could be done was to have Co-Killing Ashbones evolve from its embryonic form into a complete state, but it had yet to fully mature.
It was precisely because of the need for growth that it frantically extracted Hyuga Tsukimi's chakra and life force, leading to her current state.
Therefore, this state was a good thing.
It proved that the Bloodline Limit grew extremely fast, and it wouldn't take long for it to mature.
"Here!"
Tang Ping performed hand seals and took out several bottles of potion from his storage scroll, handing them over.
Life Potions!
But the ones in his hand were super-concentrated versions, each bottle far more potent than a hundred regular ones.
For those with insufficient strength or without special physiques, a single bottle would be more lethal than poison.
In the Skyguard Tower, the only two people Tang Ping would break the rules for were Uchiha Mei and Hyuga Tsukimi.
Aside from them, even his close friend Yamanaka Koji could only be helped under the pretense of being an 'experimental subject'.
No one had any objections to this; after all, besides being high-ranking members, they were also Tang Ping's 'only two official wives'.
Gulp!
After quickly drinking several bottles of the potion, Hyuga Tsukimi's complexion improved slightly.
Fortunately, she possessed the Great Tree Clan Bloodline and the Reincarnation Eye; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to withstand the Bloodline Limit.
If it were Kimamaro, he would have been exhausted by just the embryonic form. This showed how domineering Co-Killing Ashbones was.
In the entire Ninja World, the only person who could bear it was Hyuga Tsukimi.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that her condition had improved, Tang Ping led the way into the cave.
To be honest, if it weren't for Hyuga Tsukimi finding this cave, no one would have ever guessed that there was an Earth-Moon Passage hidden within.
After advancing a few hundred meters, the ceiling suddenly opened up, and the sun's rays shone down, illuminating a water pool of several hundred square meters.
A water pool!
Only then did Tang Ping understand why previous searches for the Earth-Moon Passage had been unsuccessful.
It wasn't a lake, but a water pool!
Hidden deep within the cave, it was a wonder they found it at all.
The most crucial point was that even with his full concentration, he didn't sense anything unusual.
If it weren't for Hyuga Tsukimi being sent here, no one else would have been able to find it.
"Have you tried it?"
He turned to Hyuga Tsukimi behind him and received a shake of the head in response.
She wasn't one to act rashly. Upon sensing that this was the place they were looking for, she didn't make any hasty moves.
"Mino and Quan, be on alert. Let me give it a try!"
Tang Ping began issuing orders.
The reason for keeping Hyuga Tsukimi behind was that her Reincarnation Eye and Great Tree Clan Bloodline might be related to opening the passage, so she needed to stay close.
Mino and Quan, upon receiving the order, immediately went on guard.
Tang Ping also started his investigation.
The more he studied, the more serious his expression became.
He vaguely sensed traces of Sealing Jutsu.
If given a few years, he was confident he could completely decipher it.
The problem was that he had put aside his 'screw-tightening' work to come here, and he didn't have much time to spare, so he had to abandon his research and opt for using it.
It was like a product; if you don't study its manufacturing principles and simply use it, it's naturally not that difficult.
Soon, Tang Ping figured out some patterns and activation conditions.
First, it wouldn't work during the day! Whether it was animals or humans, entering the water pool during the day would yield no reaction, as if it were just an ordinary pool.
Then, there needed to be 'moonlight'.
When the moonlight shone directly from above, it would trigger the activation condition.
Finally, it required the presence of the Great Tree Clan Bloodline to open.
Damn! The entire Ninja World seemed like a playground for the Great Tree Clan, which was truly annoying.
With that, the activation conditions were thoroughly understood.
Don't think that figuring these out was simple.
If someone else had come, it would have taken at least ten days or half a month to research and discover these things.
Knowing this, they naturally conserved their energy and waited until late at night to take action.
Mino and Quan took turns standing guard.
There was no other way; among the four, Tang Ping and Hyuga Tsukimi held higher positions, so it was impossible for them to do such tasks.
In the late hours of the night!
Silver moonlight poured down from the unobstructed cave ceiling, turning the water pool into a dazzling gem reflecting the moonlight.
"You first!"
Tang Ping gestured for Hyuga Tsukimi to lead the way, as her bloodline was also an activation condition.
But before she could make a move, a dark shadow took the initiative.
