----------
The eight tailed beasts are in a very bad state now, feeling as if they have been reborn after death. In fact, if you really consider it, their current state is almost indistinguishable from real death.
After all, they were re-fused into the Ten Tails. Although this process is not irreversible, it still causes real harm to the tailed beasts.
Ishigami Hara removed the part of the Ten Tails that belonged to the eight tailed beasts, allowing them to reappear in the ninja world.
Those parts removed, to put it bluntly, are like the wisdom of the soul, enabling the tailed beasts to regain their self-awareness and thinking, even retaining their own memories.
But that's all.
In this way, the tailed beasts lost Chakra, which is naturally harmful to them.
Fortunately, the special nature of the tailed beasts is destined to enable them to restore themselves by converting natural energy. The original amount of Chakra will gradually return to normal. This is not a difficult task for the tailed beasts, but it requires time.
Although they didn't fully understand what happened, the memories of the Ten Tails after the fusion were completely preserved. They naturally knew the strength of the man in front of them. He was even stronger than Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths.
They could bare their teeth at ordinary shinobi, but they didn't dare to show any defiance toward the man in front of them.
"I will mark out an area for you in the ninja world. You can live there in the future. I won't impose too many restrictions on you, but there is only one rule you need to follow."
Eight Tails Gyūki said in a deep voice, "Please speak!"
Compared with the other tailed beasts, Gyūki's reaction was the fastest, as he understood Ishigami Hara's strength the most clearly.
"No harm to others, no destruction of the ninja world."
The Two-Tails Matatabi couldn't help but ask, "But... if someone attacks us, what should we do? Can we only resist and not retaliate?"
Ishigami Hara smiled, and upon seeing his smile, the Two-Tails Matatabi couldn't help but get agitated. The light blue flames on her body instantly flared, and the entire beast felt uneasy.
"Don't be nervous. In such a case, you may fight back or even kill the aggressor."
"Yes, I understand."
The Two-Tails Matatabi agreed readily. As long as they were not completely restricted, this would be quite favorable for the tailed beasts.
"Well, wait for a while."
Ishigami Hara said, looking in the direction of the moon, where a scarlet moon was shining alongside the sun.
"This farce is almost over."
Ishigami Hara spoke, and a gap suddenly cracked open between his eyebrows, quickly revealing a scarlet single eye—a nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan.
Then, Ishigami Hara put his hands together, looked up at the moon, and his Chakra flared and twisted.
In the next moment, the scarlet light on the moon quickly faded, and the brightness of the moon dimmed until it returned to its faint daytime outline, still visible but much softer.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi was released. For Ishigami Hara, this technique was not difficult; it was merely an application of special ocular power in Six Paths Mode. With his current abilities, it was a simple task.
At that moment, a gap appeared in the space not far from Ishigami Hara, and a man stumbled out, carrying both a man and a woman.
"It seems you didn't have an easy time on the moon, Iroha-kun," Ishigami Hara remarked with a smile.
The man who appeared was Hyūga Iroha.
He placed the two people down, then knelt on one knee before Ishigami Hara, speaking in a deep voice: "Hokage, I was fortunate enough to eliminate the entire Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon and secured control over the giant Tenseigan. These two are the last descendants of the Ōtsutsuki on the moon."
Ishigami Hara descended, glanced at the two individuals on the ground nearby, and nodded slightly. "Yes, you've done well. At least they didn't manage to activate the giant Tenseigan, which saved me a problem."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the two individuals floated slowly towards him.
"Wait, she's pregnant?"
The pair, a man and a woman, appeared to be a married couple. The woman was visibly pregnant but fortunately only unconscious, without much injury. The man, however, was in poor shape, with a broken arm and blood covering his body.
"Yes, these two are husband and wife," Hyūga Iroha confirmed. Ishigami Hara nodded. "Alright, go and deal with the White Zetsu on the battlefield."
"Yes!"
Hyūga Iroha did not hesitate, nor did he regard his mission on the moon as more important. Although they hadn't made detailed plans beforehand, Hyūga Iroha always knew what he needed to do.
After Hyūga Iroha left, Ishigami Hara turned his attention to the man and woman. Without moving, he activated the ocular power within his eyes, and the two slowly awakened from their unconscious state.
"Is this… the ninja world?" the man murmured, reacting first. His expression changed immediately, and he gritted his teeth, exclaiming, "Hyūga Iroha! That traitor!"
Ishigami Hara fixed his gaze on the man. "Shouldn't you be more concerned with your current situation?"
The woman protectively placed her hands over her lower abdomen, meeting Ishigami Hara's gaze with her Byakugan and asked in a low voice, "Are you also a descendant of the Hyūga clan from the ninja world?"
At this moment, Ishigami Hara's eyes were still in Byakugan form, prompting the woman's question.
Ishigami Hara smiled, shook his head, and shifted his eyes into Three Tomoe Sharingan.
This sight caused the two to react, their expressions shifting subtly.
But in the next moment, Ishigami Hara's eyes changed again, transitioning from Sharingan to Rinnegan.
The pair clearly recognized the Rinnegan, and shock flashed across their faces as they observed this transformation.
Then, Ishigami Hara's eyes changed once more into Tenseigan, radiating a faint blue glow.
"How is this possible? Why is this happening? Your eyes…"
The man was so stunned he struggled to speak, utterly dumbfounded.
"Surprised? Then… have you seen these eyes? They should be called Pure Eyes."
With that, Ishigami Hara's eyes shifted once again.
