Chapter 530
Kneel down, you inferior creature!
"Is it you?"
The servant immediately questioned him in a cold voice.
"A rude person who has trespassed into the sacred ground of the Otsutsuki clan."
Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow, looking at the young man with great interest.
He could sense that youthful arrogance.
The clan leader standing behind Sheren was much stronger, but at this moment his face was full of vigilance, even... fear.
"You are a branch family of the Otsutsuki clan, aren't you?"
Kiyoshi paused, then continued:
"That is, a branch of Hamura."
Herman's pupils contracted:
"How dare you address our ancestor by his name!"
He stepped forward, his pure white eyes fixed on Kiyoshi, then turned to Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Upon seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki, Toneri's breathing became erratic for a moment.
It's so lifelike, exactly like the portrait, even more beautiful, more...real.
"You are Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
"I grit my teeth and say."
"A sinner sealed away by his ancestors dares to break free of his restraints and even set foot on the moon?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at him indifferently with her pure white eyes, her gaze as if she were looking at a pebble on the roadside, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
She didn't even answer, but simply leaned gently towards Qing Si, her slender fingers hooking onto his sleeve.
This small gesture was full of dependence, which contrasted sharply with her aloof appearance.
Kiyoshi smiled, reached out and took her hand, gently scratching her palm with his fingers.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's ear tips turned slightly red, but she did not pull her hand away.
To Toneri, this scene was nothing short of a trampling of the dignity of the Otsutsuki clan.
"I'm talking to you!"
Otsutsuki Toneri raised his voice.
"Leave the moon immediately! Otherwise..."
"otherwise?"
Kiyoshi finally looked at him directly, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Otherwise what?"
Otsutsuki Toneri paused for a moment, then angrily said:
"Otherwise, I'll show you the power of the Otsutsuki clan!"
He formed a mudra with his hands.
Gravity manipulation!
Otsutsuki Toneri attempted to use a gravitational field to bind Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki, and then throw them off the moon.
But the next second, Sheren froze.
His gravitational field disappeared the instant it touched the two people.
Like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, it doesn't even cause a ripple.
"This is impossible..."
"I murmured to myself."
Kiyoshi shook his head, as if looking at an ignorant child.
"Is this all the descendants of Hamura are capable of?"
There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Has the bloodline diluted to this extent after a thousand years?"
These words stung the servant.
"What do you know!"
He roared.
"The Otsutsuki clan bears the mission of guiding humanity, and we..."
"Guiding humanity?"
Qing Si stepped forward.
An immense amount of chakra was unleashed, almost forming a pillar of light that stretched across the heavens and earth.
It was just one step, but Sheren felt the entire moon tremble.
Not only was the moon shaking, but Otsutsuki Toneri himself was also trembling.
Fear wells up from the depths of the soul; it is the instinctive reaction of lower life forms when facing higher beings.
"Who...who exactly are you, you lowly creature?"
Sheren's voice began to tremble.
Kiyoshi did not answer.
He closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.
Under the horrified gazes of Ōtsutsuki Toneri and his father, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, Kiyoshi's skin slowly cracked open on both sides of his forehead, and two keratinized horns grew out.
At the same time, Kiyoshi's chakra changed.
The oppressive feeling almost made Sheren kneel down.
"This...this is..."
"The relic is trembling," the relic said.
"The purer a person's bloodline, the larger their horns usually are..."
If you look closely, you'll notice that the horns of Ōtsutsuki Hamura and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo are smaller than those of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Their mixed-race offspring have lost the horn-like feature.
This means that the purity of their bloodline is decreasing.
"You're the real inferior being."
Kiyoshi looked at Otsutsuki Toneri.
Then he said calmly:
"Kneel down, you inferior creature."
Ōtsutsuki Toneri wanted to resist, but his body wouldn't obey him; his knees buckled and his spine bent, driven by an instinct deep within his blood.
thump.
Sheren knelt in the lunar dust.
The relics behind him also knelt down, their heads bowed low, not even daring to lift them.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri gritted his teeth, wanting to retort and stand up, but his body simply wouldn't move.
Kaguya Otsutsuki walked to Kiyoshi's side, her pure white eyes sweeping lightly over the two kneeling on the ground.
The shame gnawed at Toneri Otsutsuki's heart. As a descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki and the guardian of the Moon lineage, he was kneeling before an intruder from the lower realm in the sacred land created by his ancestor.
"Unforgivable..."
Otsutsuki Toneri squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
His chakra began to surge wildly, and that long-dormant power was awakening.
"Sir, no!"
Chief Sheri cried out in terror.
He sensed the horror of the couple before him even more than his son.
"They are not someone we can fight...!"
"Shut up!"
The servant roared in anger.
A deep blue light burst forth from his eyes.
Tenseigan!
"Oh?"
Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
"It's finally starting to look like something."
Kaguya Otsutsuki remained calmly standing beside Seiji, her pure white eyes sweeping over Toneri's Tenseigan as she commented:
"The purity is acceptable, but the control is rough."
Her tone was as flat as if she were commenting on a dish, which thoroughly infuriated the servant.
"You who defile this holy land..."
Toneri slowly stood up, his entire body enveloped in the azure light of his "Tensekaigan".
"I'll take care of it!"
Before he could finish speaking, the servant raised both hands.
The lunar surface trembled violently, and dozens of giant rocks with diameters of over ten meters were detached from the ground and suspended in the air.
This is not an ordinary "Planetary Devastation," but rather the unique gravitational manipulation of the "Tenshenggan."
Each rock was controlled by the power of the eye and blasted towards Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Ōtsutsuki Rei quickly retreated to avoid being affected, knowing that the power of this attack was enough to destroy half the surface of the moon.
Despite the onslaught of boulders, Kiyoshi didn't even flinch.
He simply raised his hand slightly.
A similar azure light shone from Kiyoshi's eyes; it was an even greater pupil power than that of Toneri.
All the incoming boulders suddenly froze in mid-air, as if time had been frozen.
"what?!"
The man's pupils suddenly contracted.
He felt his control over those rocks being forcibly severed—no, being covered and taken away by a more powerful force!
"As far as the rain is concerned, I may have poured a bit too much."
Kiyoshi said calmly, flicking his finger slightly.
The stationary boulder suddenly changed direction, and like a meteor shower, it blasted back at Otsutsuki Toneri at three times the speed it had come from!
"Tenseigan Chakra Mode!"
Otsutsuki Toneri roared, and emerald green chakra surged from his body, enveloping his entire being.
His speed increased dramatically, allowing him to weave nimbly among the boulders, his hands constantly striking out and shattering any boulders he couldn't avoid.
Gravel rained down as Otsutsuki Toneri landed, panting, his Tenseigan fixed on Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi took another step, and the entire surface of the moon trembled.
Centered on the soles of his feet, spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions, and the outlines of distant craters were slightly distorted.
Kaguya Otsutsuki watched this scene quietly, her long blue and white hair fluttering in the surging air currents of chakra.
She tilted her head slightly, her pure white eyes reflecting Qing Si's tall and straight back.
This man is always so powerful.
It was so powerful that even she, the goddess of the rabbit who once looked down upon all living beings, felt at ease.
"I do not believe!"
Otsutsuki Toneri gritted his teeth.
"Even if you possess the Tenseigan, you're nothing but a fake. I'll show you the true power of the Tenseigan."
He raised his hands high, unleashing the full power of his "Tensekaigan".
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A raging tornado took shape in Toneri's hands, a destructive storm that combined the gravitational and repulsive forces of the Tenseigan.
The tornado expanded rapidly, its diameter increasing from three meters to ten meters, and then to three hundred meters.
Wherever it passed, the lunar surface was torn apart, and deep trenches, hundreds of meters deep, continued to extend.
In the distance, several low lunar mountains were easily flattened at the edge of the storm, their boulders reduced to dust.
"Sheren, this will damage the moon's structure!"
Ōtsutsuki Shari shouted, but his voice was drowned out by the howling storm.
A silver tornado struck Kiyoshi like a natural disaster, and this time, Kiyoshi finally moved.
He also raised his right hand, palm up.
"Silver Wheel Rebirth Explosion".
The same technique name, but when performed by Kiyoshi, it produced a completely different scene.
There was no raging tornado, no deafening roar, only a slender, almost transparent silver halo that slowly rose from Kiyoshi's palm.
The next moment, the halo drifted forward, heading towards the giant tornado created by Toneri.
The instant the two come into contact.
boom!
A deafening roar erupted, and the shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, leveling everything within a radius of several kilometers.
The Otsutsuki Relic was blasted hundreds of meters away, barely managing to protect his body with his chakra as he looked ahead.
There, Otsutsuki Toneri's "Ginrin Tensei Baku" was split in two, like a piece of cloth cut by a sharp blade, neatly split in the middle.
Meanwhile, Qing Si's slender halo continued forward, drifting lightly towards She Ren.
“Impossible…” Shiren murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He desperately mobilized his pupil power, constructing layers upon layers of gravitational barriers in front of him.
However, the moment the silver halo touched the barrier, the barrier shattered into pieces like fragile glass.
The halo touched the chest of Otsutsuki Toneri.
Sheren felt an irresistible force piercing through his body.
His chakra flow instantly stopped, the light of the Tenseigan quickly dimmed, and the emerald green Tenseigan Chakra Mode dissipated directly.
thump.
Otsutsuki Toneri knelt down again, this time truly powerless.
He tried to mobilize his chakra, but felt completely empty inside; all his power was sealed by that strange silver halo.
"Why……"
Sheren struggled to lift his head and looked at Qingsi, who was walking slowly towards him.
Kiyoshi stopped three meters in front of him, looking down at this young and impetuous descendant of the Otsutsuki clan.
"Because you are too weak."
Qing Si said calmly.
He added sealing power to it, so Otsutsuki Toneri naturally couldn't withstand it.
"The Tenseigan is indeed a powerful force, but it is ultimately just a tool. True power comes from understanding the essence of power."
“You are descendants of Hamura, and you shouldn’t be so despicable, but a thousand years of seclusion has made you arrogant and narrow-minded.”
He reached out and touched the attendant's forehead with his index finger.
Otsutsuki Toneri tried to hide, but his body wouldn't obey him.
A warm power flowed from Kiyoshi's fingertips.
The silver halo that sealed the power of the hermit was slowly drawn out, re-condensed in Qing Si's palm, and then dissipated into the air.
Toneri's chakra resumed its flow, and his Tenseigan lit up again, but this time, it carried a hint of bewilderment.
"Why...why didn't you kill me?"
"Otsutsuki Toneri asked in a hoarse voice."
"Kill you?"
Kiyoshi withdrew his hand.
"Why should I kill you? You are a descendant of Hamura, and in a sense, you are also an existence I created."
These words stunned both Sheren and the Sheli clan chief.
"Your creation? Who exactly are you?"
Chief Sheri couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling.
Kiyoshi did not answer directly, but looked into the distance, towards the entrance to the moon's interior space.
"That kid Hamura has taught you well; at least you still remember your mission to protect the moon. But there are some things you don't know yet."
He turned and walked towards Kaguya Otsutsuki, naturally taking her hand.
Kiyoshi used a dōjutsu when he left, which affected Hamura Ōtsutsuki's memories.
His left eye's pupil technique is called "Heavenly Lord of the Central Palace".
It altered some realities, that is, the possibilities of history.
The "causal inertia" he created makes the future develop in the direction he knows best.
The stories passed down in this way are naturally distorted.
"and many more!"
Sheren struggled to her feet.
"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with Hamura's ancestor? And... what exactly do you want to do on the moon?"
Kiyoshi stopped in his tracks.
Kiyoshi reached out and gently tapped the attendant's forehead with his finger.
There was no physical contact; it was merely a virtual dot in the air.
But Shiren felt a surge of warm chakra enter his body, instantly flowing throughout his entire being.
The servant's eyes widened.
He saw it.
A scene from a thousand years ago.
He saw his ancestor looking very respectful in front of Qing Si.
Although there was only this one scene, it was enough for Otsutsuki Toneri to understand something.
"No...it's impossible..."
"Otsutsuki Toneri murmured, his voice filled with disbelief."
"You are... someone from a thousand years ago?"
"Do you understand now?"
Qing Si said calmly.
In theory, Kiyoshi has completed the closed loop, but he is still a person from a thousand years in the future.
This can be considered putting the cause in the opposite order of cause and effect.
Otsutsuki Toneri knelt there, his mind blank.
He always thought he would be the progenitor of a new century for mankind, only to discover that there were beings even more noble than him.
"Where's Hamura?"
Qing Si asked casually.
“Our ancestor…our great ancestor has long since gone to the Pure Land.”
Ōtsutsuki Toneri's father, Shari, added.
"No, he is not in the Pure Land."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
It seems that Hamura Otsutsuki also managed to keep his soul in the world through some method.
He turned around and took Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand:
"Let's go inside and take a look. I want to see what Hamura left us."
Then the two disappeared, passing directly through the lunar surface and entering the underground space.
The servant remained kneeling there, motionless for a long time.
Relic walked over and, trembling, helped him up:
"Master She, are you alright?"
"Father……"
Sheren looked at his hands, his voice hollow.
"We... we can't beat them at all, can we?"
The clan chief remained silent, then nodded solemnly.
According to the information left by their ancestors, Kaguya Otsutsuki was far beyond their comprehension.
Moreover, the more he looked at Kiyoshi's image, the more familiar it seemed to him.
Why does he seem like Kaguya Otsutsuki's partner?
But isn't he the Hokage of Konoha?
Could it be a reincarnation?
Or has the seal been broken all along, and he has been secretly living as a human?
There are too many questions.
In short, Otsutsuki Shari has no intention of thinking about it anymore.
"Go back and consult some ancient books."
Otsutsuki Shari was puzzled as to why Otsutsuki Kaguya hadn't killed them.
Could it be that the stories left by our ancestors have been misrepresented?
"The Tenseigan, the twin horns, and that unfathomable power... and the way he addressed Hamura's ancestor..."
He looked in the direction where Kiyoshi had disappeared, his voice trembling.
"He might really be that legendary being, who, together with the goddess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, created the Sage of Six Paths and our ancestors..."
"The progenitor of chakra".
…………
Otsutsuki Shari patted him on the shoulder.
Inside the moon, the temple of the Otsutsuki clan.
Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki stood in the center of the temple, looking up at the giant Tenseigan floating in the air.
It has a diameter of over three meters, and its surface flows with a liquid-like luster. Countless tiny points of light rotate inside, like a miniature galaxy.
At this moment, the Tenseigan was trembling slightly, emanating a chakra fluctuation that was both awe-inspiring and endearing.
"Hamura's eyes."
Kaguya Otsutsuki said softly.
"He left a portion of his pupil power here."
Kiyoshi could sense that this reincarnated eye contained a portion of Hamura Otsutsuki's will.
A thousand years have passed, and that will has become very weak, but it remains clear.
He stretched out his hand and placed his palm lightly in front of Reincarnation's eyes.
Light surged from the Reincarnation Eyes, connecting with Kiyoshi's chakra.
In an instant, Kiyoshi saw many images.
Hamura Otsutsuki wandered on the surface of the moon and finally chose to open up space there.
He taught his descendants, leaving behind the precept of protecting the Earth. Generation after generation of Otsutsuki people lived and practiced here, gradually forgetting their original mission and instead developing the extreme ideology of purging humanity...
There are also servants.
Kiyoshi witnessed Toneri Otsutsuki's growth, his obsessive view of Earth, and Hinata from his dreams.
"It's still developing in this way."
Kiyoshi withdrew his hand, and his Tenseigan returned to calm.
Kaguya Otsutsuki walked to his side:
"What did you see?"
"That kid Hamura has left a problem for future generations."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
"The legacy of protecting the Earth has been misinterpreted as the purge of humanity. And..."
He paused:
"That kid named Toneri has taken a fancy to the Hyuga clan's little girl."
Kaguya Otsutsuki blinked her pure white eyes:
"Hinata?"
"The bloodline left on Earth by Hamura's descendants."
Kiyoshi explained.
"He is also my disciple."
What do you want to do?
"How could that guy Sheren possibly be worthy?"
Kiyoshi shook his head.
While Toneri may possess talent, it would be wishful thinking for him to think he could do anything for his disciple Hinata based solely on that.
If Kiyoshi were willing, he could give Hinata his own blood to increase the purity of her bloodline.
He then channeled his chakra into the Tenseigan once more.
This time, a faint light screen appeared on the surface of the Tenseigan, and within the light screen emerged the soul of Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
That was how Hamura looked in his old age, with white hair and beard, and his deep blue Tenseigan filled with the vicissitudes of life.
"Dear Father or Mother,"
Hamura's soul spoke, its voice gentle.
"Please forgive the ignorance and offense of future generations. A thousand years is enough to obscure the truth, and I cannot blame them."
Hamura Otsutsuki's memories were corrected the moment he met Kiyoshi.
Father and Mother left on their own; they were not sealed away by their elder brother, the Sage of Six Paths.
"The mission of the lunar lineage is to protect the outer reaches of Earth and monitor potential threats from beyond the stars. However, if future generations misinterpret the legacy and make wrong choices, I urge Father and Mother to guide them back to the right path."
"You should go back to the Pure Land first; your soul is about to fall apart."
With a wave of his hand, Kiyoshi sent Ōtsutsuki Hamura's soul back to the Pure Land.
Hamura Otsutsuki is an Otsutsuki, so he won't be passively having his chakra harvested there.
Such an effect can only be achieved if Kiyoshi takes the initiative to do so.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the temple. (End of Chapter)
