Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Page 176

Shinichi Hyuga's eyes became the only light in the palace at that moment. In the darkness, Shinichi Hyuga's chakra was connected to the palace through his eyes.

With a thought, the entire palace appeared in Shinichi Hyuga's mind, and everything within the palace was under Shinichi Hyuga's control.

"Is this barrier... connected to my eye power?"

Looking around, Shinichi Hyuga realized that the palace he was in was surrounded by a powerful barrier. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that this barrier was actually created using his eye power.

Or rather... the barrier was originally built upon the enormous Tenseigan in front of him, but as he absorbed all of the Tenseigan's power, his own power became the main energy source for maintaining the barrier's operation.

His eye power established a connection with the underground palace. Not only that, as Shinichi Hyuga's thoughts wandered, his vision easily penetrated the barrier, reflecting everything in the outside world. He could clearly perceive that the Heavenly Palace, suspended in the sky and protected by the barrier, also operated based on his eye power.

Everything in this underground world is built upon his Reincarnation Eye. Sunlight and rain are all under his control.

Savoring his connection with the world, Shinichi Hyuga felt like the creator who controlled everything, capable of overturning the entire world in an instant.

"Is this the power of the Samsara Eye?"

There was no more discomfort in his eyes. His pupil power and Shinichi Hyuga's own body were perfectly integrated. When he opened his hands, Shinichi uttered a soft murmur, and a layer of dark green chakra quickly enveloped his body.

As the chakra cloak appeared, nine black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind Shinichi, and nine tomoe-shaped black shadows also appeared on his chest.

Shinichi Hyuga's body floated in the air, requiring no leverage whatsoever. With a simple gesture, terrifying chakra rapidly condensed in his palm. Sensing the terrifying power within, enough to destroy this underground world, Shinichi Hyuga silently clenched his fist and absorbed the chakra back into his body.

The chakra patterns of the Tenseigan...

Although it was his first time using it, Shinichi Hyuga felt that he could do anything in this state. Without personally testing this power here, Shinichi Hyuga quickly exited this state, and then with a wave of his hand, the large barrier protecting this place instantly disappeared.

Sensing someone outside the palace, Shinichi Hyuga vanished from his spot in a flash.

...

Outside the palace.

The young Shiren looked anxiously at the palace protected by the barrier. Inside this palace was the Tenseigan, which their branch family had created at great cost. The Tenseigan was not only their branch family's most precious treasure, but also the energy source that maintained the normal operation of the lunar underground palace.

Under no circumstances can any accidents occur.

However... at this moment, the inexplicably activated barrier prevented Toneri from knowing what was happening inside. All he knew was that if anything happened to the Tenseigan, he would be the biggest sinner of the branch family for failing to protect this treasure.

Therefore, he was unable to grasp the situation inside the palace, which made the young attendant extremely anxious.

However, just as he was at a loss, the artificial sun in the sky suddenly dimmed and struck, plunging the entire underground world into darkness.

The dim sky was devoid of the bright moonlight and the dazzling starlight; all that remained was a gigantic, dark red artificial sun.

At the same time the anomaly occurred, a rumbling sound emanated from the celestial palace, and the entire palace seemed to have lost the protection of its barrier, slowly falling.

However, this downward trend did not last long, and it stopped completely in just a few minutes. At that moment, the outer barrier of the palace containing the Tenseigan suddenly disappeared.

"what happened?!"

"The barrier has disappeared?"

Just as Shirou was about to enter the palace to investigate, he noticed a figure suddenly appear silently beside him. Shinichi Hyuga's deep and dazzling Tensei eyes were quietly watching Shirou, but Shirou was completely unaware.

"Are you Sheren?"

It wasn't until Shinichi Hinata made a sound that Shirou realized someone was behind him. He turned around abruptly, and the moment his eyes met Shinichi's, Shirou froze, staring at the other with disbelief in his eyes.

"you you..."

Sheren opened his dry lips, but couldn't utter a word. The young man was clearly standing right beside him, but Sheren hadn't noticed his presence at all until the man spoke. What horrified him even more was that he had no idea when the man had appeared behind him.

Seeing the shocked look on Toneri's face, Shinichi Hyuga suddenly reached out and grabbed Toneri's wrist.

Toneri took a half-step back warily, intending to dodge, but there was no way to escape. Just as he was preparing to launch a counterattack, Shinichi Hyuga's words suddenly entered Toneri's ears:

"My name is Shinichi Hyuga. I was sent here by Hamura Otsutsuki."

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

Since Shinichi Hyuga's Tenseigan fully matured, he has established a strange connection with the underground world beneath the surface of the moon.

Even if he hadn't left the Flying Thunder God mark in that mass grave before, he could easily pinpoint the destination with just his Tenseigan and construct the Flying Thunder God mark directly within his field of vision using his eye power.

To put it another way... wherever his Tenseigan's vision can reach, he can temporarily construct the Flying Thunder God mark for use in Flying Thunder God teleportation.

Before Toneri could even process what was happening, Shinichi Hyuga had already grabbed Toneri's wrist and disappeared into the Heavenly Palace.

Sheren felt the scenery before his eyes blur and he was directly in an underground palace. What he saw was a series of small, protruding tombs.

This was the first time Sheren had ever been to such a place, or rather, the first time he had ever known that such a place existed in the world he lived in.

This was his first time visiting this cemetery.

"here it is?"

Although this was the first time Sheren had visited this underground cemetery, he did not feel any fear or trepidation as he looked at the many graves before him.

On the contrary, these graves felt familiar to him...

When Toneri learned that the young man who brought him to this place was named Hinata Shinichi, the surname Hinata made him lower his guard somewhat.

The Otsutsuki clan on the moon has been a continuous lineage for many years without any interruption in its history. Even in Toneri's generation, he knows what his clan's mission is, and he also knows that his ancestor, Otsutsuki Hamura, and his elder brother from the same clan remain on Earth.

Although they had never had contact with the Hyuga clan on Earth, they knew perfectly well, having been monitoring the ninja world, that the Hyuga clan was the family on Earth that inherited the Byakugan.

They share the same origin as the Otsutsuki on the moon.

Although Toneri didn't understand why Shinichi Hyuga was on the moon, he didn't sense any malice from Shinichi, who was of the same race.

Even though he was brought to such a strange place, Toneri was not very wary of Shinichi.

She even confided her doubts to Shinichi, hoping to get answers from him.

"As you can see, this is a cemetery."

"The cemetery where your ancestors and many of your relatives are buried."

Shinichi Hyuga made no attempt to hide anything, looking around as he waited for Hamura's ghost to appear before him.

Even now that he has the Tenseigan, Shinichi still hasn't discovered where Hamura's ghost is hiding.

The world inhabited by souls and the world inhabited by living people do not seem to be in the same dimension.

This discovery made Shinichi abandon his idea of ​​returning to Earth to find the soul of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

If the other party hadn't shown up on their own initiative, Shinichi probably wouldn't have been able to find them at all. However, one thing Shinichi was certain of was that Hagoromo Otsutsuki, just like Hamura, was secretly monitoring the entire ninja world.

The moment Kaguya is revived, Hagoromo will appear, guiding the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra to reseal Kaguya.

Even in his soul form, Hagoromo can still grant Naruto and Sasuke special abilities; perhaps... his very existence is even more unique than Hamura's.

If one had to describe it... Hagoromo could be said to have become a god in the Naruto world. His existence itself is perhaps more mysterious than the Grim Reaper summoned by the Reaper Death Seal or the evil god worshipped by the Jashin Cult.

Just as Shinichi was pondering, the surrounding environment suddenly became chaotic.

The ancient brick walls disappeared, replaced by a gray chaos. At the same time, specks of light drifted out from the various graves, transforming into one soul after another before Shinichi Hyuga and Toneri.

Otsutsuki Hamura, also appearing as an old man, materialized into a physical form and appeared before Hyuga Shinichi.

"What beautiful eyes."

"Your growth has exceeded my expectations!"

Hamura Otsutsuki appeared in front of Shinichi Hyuga. He only glanced at Toneri before his gaze fell on Shinichi, his tone full of admiration.

Shinichi was quite polite and respectful to Hamura Otsutsuki, who had given him this opportunity, and humbly said, "Thanks to you."

"I have brought you Sheren."

"Our deal is half done."

Shinichi Hyuga hadn't forgotten what Hamura Otsutsuki had asked him to do. As for Toneri, whom he was meeting for the first time, Shinichi couldn't say whether he liked or disliked him; he was more indifferent.

Hamura wants to treat Toneri the way he treats his younger brother, but it will take Shinichi some time.

"Hehe, you're really being a bit too formal."

"To me, you are like my grandson."

What kind of transaction are you talking about?

"This is just a request from this old man."

Hamura said with a smile, then shifted his gaze from Shinichi to Toneri.

The moment the two met, Toneri recognized his ancestor. The Otsutsuki clan on the moon had never lost its lineage, and every member of the clan had seen the portrait of their ancestor.

Although he was filled with shock and disbelief, the moment Hamura spoke, Toneri knew that the person in front of him was his ancestor.

Not only Hamura, but also many other souls of the Otsutsuki main family with Byakugan stood behind him. Toneri had a natural aversion to those people.

Perhaps... the conflict between the main family and the branch family has been deeply ingrained in the genes of everyone in the branch family.

Despite this feeling of disgust, Shiren also recognized Byakugan and could guess who these people were.

"The attendant..."

"My name is Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and I am your..." Before Hamura could finish speaking, Toneri had already knelt down before Hamura with tears in his eyes, and whispered excitedly, "Ancestor!"

There may be irreconcilable conflicts between the branch family and the main family, but the Otsutsuki clan has always held their ancestors in awe.

Even a child as young as Sheren has a very deep worship and faith in his ancestors.

"Good boy..."

Seeing Toneri's emotional state, Hamura stepped forward and gently embraced him.
