As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The peak showdown between Toneri Otsutsuki, a visitor from the Moon, and the Akatsuki Leader spread far faster than the Uchiha Clan Massacre Incident, the Konoha Crush Plan, the Wood Release Ninja, and the Cloud Village destruction incident.
The battle had barely ended, and the Four Great Shinobi Villages, which had spies planted to gather information in advance about the Cloud Village's plan to bomb Rain Hidden Village, immediately learned the results.
In less than a day, more detailed information was presented to the Five Kage in the form of documents.
The surrounding small countries and minor ninja villages also learned the news the next day.
Moon visitor, Toneri Otsutsuki, Tenseigan and Rinnegan, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, meteor rain, and Wood Release, these keywords quickly spread to every corner of the Shinobi World.
The Akatsuki Leader was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan, possessing not only the Rinnegan but also awakening the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. The news of him using the Advent of a World of Trees, the Ninjutsu of the God of Shinobi that calmed the chaotic world, and the Wood Golem Buddha to resist the super meteorites instantly overshadowed the Wood Release Ninja, Izayoi.
Both being Wood Release Ninjas, the Akatsuki Leader had already become the God of Shinobi, while Izayoi had only graduated last year and was not on the same level at all.
With the Sage of Six Paths' eyes and the God of Shinobi's Wood Release, Nagato instantly became the Shinobi World's recognized strongest, without exception.
No one felt unconvinced!
Because Nagato's Combat Record was simply too terrifying.
He founded the Akatsuki, whose members were all S-Rank Missing-nin from the major ninja villages. The Cloud Village's strongest AB Combo was as weak as children in front of him.
If it weren't for the Moon visitor, Nagato would probably have already been crowned the God of Shinobi of the new era.
Toneri Otsutsuki's words before leaving made the Five Great Shinobi Villages sleepless.
The strongest power of the new era might no longer be the God of Shinobi's Wood Release, but the Sage Eye from mythology.
That unmatched Repulsion and Attraction were simply powers from another dimension, completely different from the Ninjutsu of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
But fortunately, there were two people who possessed this other-dimensional power.
And they were both enemies!
If only one person possessed it, the Five Great Shinobi Villages would really not be able to sleep.
Otherwise, they might wake up to find their ninja villages following in the footsteps of Cloud Village, reduced to ruins, or becoming affiliated ninja villages of Rain Hidden Village.
After all... not every super-standard combatant is Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.
If they possessed invincible power, they would rather become Madara Uchiha.
...
"I didn't expect the mysterious person to actually exist, and from the Moon!"
In Hidden Stone Village, Ōnoki looked at the documents in his hand and the photos taken by his subordinates at the risk of their lives, his eyes trembling.
Especially the Wood Golem Buddha in the photo, which reminded Ōnoki of Madara Uchiha using Susanoo back then.
Able to contend with the God of Shinobi's Wood Release, could it be that the Uchiha Clan's legendary God Power, Susanoo, which was said to cause certain death to anyone who witnessed it even once, could actually become so large?
"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, what exactly is it?" Ōnoki murmured.
At this moment, he believed Jiraiya's speculation.
The possessors of the Sage Eye are all vying for something.
A... even in a battle of this scale, the Akatsuki Leader still hasn't used that 'treasure'.
"The coming era might be going wild."
Ōnoki floated to the window, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and murmured, "Hidden Stone Village can't remain isolated either."
...
"Such power actually exists?"
In the Hidden Mist Village, Mei Terumi said in disbelief, "With such power, why didn't the Ninja God and Madara Uchiha join forces to rule the Shinobi World back then?"
Having never seen the true power of Wood Release and Sharingan, Mei Terumi thought Wood Release was just invincible in group battles and a Kekkei Genkai that could restrain Tailed Beasts.
But she didn't expect Wood Release could create such a giant, easily shatter super meteorites, and release Five Release Combination Ninjutsu.
With such power, there was no need for a Shinobi World Asura; the Ninja God alone could rule the Shinobi World.
Konoha had two such overpowered combatants back then, yet they didn't rule the Shinobi World; it was simply unbelievable.
"Otsutsuki, an unfamiliar surname..."
Genshi looked at the information in his hand, trying to search his memory, but found no impression of this surname.
He couldn't help but speculate, "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Thief, Tenseigan... Could there be a passage connecting the Moon somewhere in the Shinobi World? Are the Otsutsuki an ancient shinobi clan who migrated to the Moon for some reason, such as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path? The eyes of the defeated, could this shinobi clan be related to the Sage of Six Paths, or perhaps be enemies?"
Genshi's head ached from thinking, and he frowned, "Myth has become reality, the Sage's shinobi clan and power have reappeared. I wonder if it's good or bad for this era."
...
"In just a few months, the Shinobi World has become unrecognizable to this old woman."
In the Sand Village, Chiyo looked at the information and photos in her hand, feeling a sense of powerlessness and despair.
At this moment, she wished the Sand Village could switch places with the Hidden Mist Village.
Even if the ninja continent was turned upside down, if they couldn't win, couldn't they hide?
"The hope of our Five Great Shinobi Villages may only lie with Konoha's Wood Release Ninja," Ebizō said calmly. "I only hope the Akatsuki Leader and that visitor from the Moon can remain in a stalemate, giving Konoha's Wood Release Ninja time to grow, or that the visitor from the Moon gains the upper hand. Only then will our Five Great Nations have a chance to breathe."
"At least throughout the Warring States Period and the decades since, that Otsutsuki shinobi clan hasn't interfered with the development of our Shinobi World. This time, coming to the Shinobi World from the Moon is also to retrieve the so-called Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
"To allow an ancient shinobi clan to reappear in the Shinobi World, that Demonic Statue of the Outer Path must be something even more terrifying."
"Akatsuki is definitely not a mercenary organization of rogue ninja banding together for warmth!"
Hearing this, Chiyo sighed, "Neither side is something the Sand Village can contend with. All we can do is wait for the outcome, hoping it won't be too tragic."
Looking at the photos in his hand, Ebizō was speechless.
This is the sorrow of the weak, only able to be slaughtered.
...
"Rinnegan and Wood Release, could the legendary Sage Eye actually be the Uzumaki Clan's true Kekkei Genkai?"
In the Hokage Office, Tsunade's focus wasn't on Nagato also awakening Wood Release, but on looking at Karin and Izayoi's Wood Clone in front of her, and wondering, "Could our bloodline be related to the Sage of Six Paths?"
You're actually right.
Looking at the Sealing Scroll, Izayoi thought to himself.
Karin just gave an awkward laugh. Last year, she was still a country bumpkin from Grass Ninja Village, so how would she know such ancient secrets?
Seeing that neither of them paid attention to her, Tsunade continued looking at the information in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed as she said, "Rinnegan, Tenseigan, they should be different Sage Eyes, but the myths circulating in the Shinobi World only mention the Sage of Six Paths and his Rinnegan. Logically speaking, the owner of the Tenseigan should be the loser, but why does that Toneri Otsutsuki say that the Sage of Six Paths was the loser, and the Rinnegan is the eye of the loser?"
"Could it be that the Sage of Six Paths was the loser, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was taken away by the owner of the Tenseigan, then brought to the Moon, leaving the Shinobi World to the Sage of Six Paths?"
"So annoying, why are these people and powers from ancient times suddenly popping up one after another?!"
Tsunade scratched her head with both hands, shouting in frustration.
"Isn't this also good news?"
Izayoi finally opened his mouth and smiled, "Myths becoming reality, the appearance of this kind of super-standard combat power, and it may even be related to our bloodline, which means our upper limit of strength is also expected to approach and become such an existence, isn't it?"
Looking at Izayoi, who was still full of confidence even when seeing super-standard combat power, Tsunade and the three women were slightly stunned.
Immediately, Karin looked at Izayoi with admiration.
Shizune was also full of respect.
As for Tsunade, she looked a little dazed, then smiled with relief and said, "It seems that the Yin Seal can preserve youth, but it can't preserve ambition. I really have to admit that I'm getting old."
As if she had made some decision, Tsunade said seriously, "Take the Sealing Scroll back and read it. Now your strength is the top priority. If there are any accidents, I, the Hokage, will take responsibility!"
"Then I won't be polite with you, Hokage-sama."
...
"Otsutsuki, Tenseigan..."
In the Hyuga Clan Head Residence, Hiashi Hyuga looked at the photo of 'Toneri Otsutsuki' and murmured, "I didn't expect that lineage to actually exist! Our Hyuga Clan is actually a descendant of the Sage..."
"The Caged Bird Seal, is it related to that lineage? Why did the connection between the two lineages suddenly break?"
...
Izayoi's Main Body was not interested in how the outside world was reacting.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the underground base in the Traditional Building, Izayoi opened the barrier and stayed in the underground base.
As before, no one except Hinata knew that the Izayoi outside was actually just a Wood Clone specially made to absorb a large amount of Chakra for disguise.
Just like in March last year, Hinata carefully took care of the blind Izayoi, taking care of his daily life.
Moreover, unlike last year, Hinata, who had already confirmed her relationship with Izayoi, only sent a Shadow Clone back to tell her Father, and then stayed overnight at Izayoi's house.
However, compared to last year's gentleness and virtuousness, Hinata now had a hint of playfulness.
To be precise, she was developing the same habits as Izayoi.
When taking care of Izayoi, she always liked to take pictures of herself or use Shadow Clones to take pictures.
Sometimes she would deliberately tease Izayoi, taking ugly photos and black history of Izayoi for collection, not afraid that Izayoi would retaliate after he recovered.
At the same time, Hinata also asked curiously, "Izayoi-kun, can your Tenseigan evolve like the Sharingan?"
"Yes, I can feel my Eye Power is getting stronger, it should be able to continue to evolve." Izayoi nodded and said, "Or rather, it is unlocking stronger power."
Hinata's expression was a little strange as she said, "Sage Eye, could it really be the Uzumaki Clan's Kekkei Genkai?"
To this, Izayoi, whose eyes were wrapped in white bandages, only smiled without saying a word.
Whenever the Little Strong Ones and Tsunade and Shizune came over, Hinata would create a Shadow Clone to deal with them along with Izayoi's Wood Clone.
The same went for when Karin came home, and when Hanabi came over.
When there was no one at home, Hinata would support Izayoi to go for walks, absorb fresh air, or take a bath in the hot spring, enjoying a Pressure Point Strike massage.
Different from the shyness and awkwardness of last year, this time both Hinata and Izayoi seemed so natural.
Because they were already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Just the change in their relationship gave Hinata immense courage, and her immunity skyrocketed again.
As a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman, Hinata took caring for Izayoi as her duty as a girlfriend and future wife.
This transformation had less naivety and more warmth.
It also made Izayoi and Hinata realize that they were growing up.
Also, unlike the half-month period of the first Fetal Movement, Izayoi, who had already awakened the Ultimate Eye Technique, was now, during the second Fetal Movement, absorbing Chakra secreted by the brain and cells, deriving the second stage of the All Things of Nature Power.
In just one week, Izayoi's Tenseigan completed its second Fetal Movement.
When the brain no longer secreted Chakra, the eyeballs no longer wriggled, and the All Things of Nature Power stabilized, Izayoi immediately removed the bandages and opened his eyes.
The Tenseigan had not changed in any way, still so beautiful and unparalleled.
However, the pupils, surrounded by a faint white light, like a solar corona, were as deep as a black hole, exuding astonishing Eye Power.
Weaker individuals would only have to meet his gaze, and their bodies would tremble uncontrollably, instinctively feeling that the other party's gaze could materialize and kill them.
Hinata sat not far across from Izayoi, holding a camera in her hand, secretly taking pictures of Izayoi's current appearance.
At this moment, Izayoi, seemingly focused on looking ahead, in fact, his gaze had already penetrated the underground base, turning into an invisible net, covering the surrounding countries centered on the Land of Fire, and even parts of several great nations.
Switching the perspective to God's Perspective, half of the Shinobi World was within Izayoi's monitoring range.
Switching back to the first-person perspective, Izayoi looked up at the ceiling of the underground base, his gaze penetrating the ground, and also penetrating the atmosphere, arriving in the Moon in space.
The dilapidated city, the artificial sun on the Moon, as well as the palace inside the artificial sun and the giant Tenseigan, and Toneri Otsutsuki, who was thirteen years old this year, had not yet entered the 15-17 year old growth period, and whose Chakra was now even inferior to Naruto Uzumaki, who could only use mediums to use Wireless Puppets to take care of his daily life, and could not yet monitor the Shinobi World, were all taken into Izayoi's eyes.
"What ridiculously long-range vision and perspective..." Izayoi clicked his tongue slightly in his heart.
The basic abilities improved by the second Fetal Movement surprised Izayoi.
The giant Tenseigan can monitor the Shinobi World because it has fused all the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki Clan's branch family, and maybe even fused all the Byakugan of the Main Family.
And Izayoi can almost monitor the entire Shinobi World with just the second Fetal Movement.
Then when the third Fetal Movement, which is the final evolution, comes, wouldn't his Tenseigan be at the same level as the giant Tenseigan, or even stronger than the giant Tenseigan?
There is no doubt that such a Tenseigan is definitely not comparable to the Tenseigan that Toneri Otsutsuki scattered with one punch.
"Is it because of my own eyes, or is it thanks to the Sage Eye (Red)?" Izayoi thought to himself, feeling that the latter contributed greatly.
The Rinnegan is Yin-Yang Release, while Izayoi is Yin-Yang Release.
Toneri Otsutsuki had not yet entered his growth period, but he had already completed his second Fetal Movement.
After marveling, Izayoi began to feel the second stage of the All Things of Nature Power.
Just like the first Fetal Movement, after the Tenseigan completed its second Fetal Movement, in addition to the astonishing improvement in farsight and clairvoyance, it also gained three new abilities.
The first is the Yin-Yang Release that Izayoi had been longing for.
Yin-Yang Release, like Sealing Technique, is an ability with extremely high upper and lower limits.
If you don't know how to use Yin-Yang Release, you can only create Black Rods like Nagato and Obito Uchiha.
But if you know how to use Yin-Yang Release, you can use it and Sage Art as the core, integrate seven extreme Nature Transformations into it, and create the strongest Ninjutsu under Kekkei Mōra—Truth-Seeking Ball!
If you go further, you can even create all things like the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths was not a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and could still possess Truth-Seeking Ball after his death, because of Yin-Yang Release and Six Paths Sage Art.
Now Izayoi also has one of the foundations.
With his advantage as a transmigrator, as well as his current talent and potential, he may not be able to have Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Truth-Seeking Ball in the future!
In addition to Yin-Yang Release, the remaining two abilities are Spiritual Sphere and Chakra Light Orb.
Spiritual Sphere corresponds to the Rinnegan's Human Path, which can acquire the thoughts of others, and can also project the other party's memories and thoughts like Crystal Ball Telepathy.
If you put the Spiritual Sphere into the target's body, you can also control the other party's will and actions.
This ability has its own advantages compared to the Human Path.
Spiritual Sphere can control the enemy, which the Human Path cannot do.
However, the Human Path can restrain soul-like abilities and has innate Genjutsu immunity.
If the enemy also knows Spirit Transformation Technique, then it is simply courting death.
Chakra Light Orb corresponds to the Rinnegan's Preta Path.
Just like Spiritual Sphere and Human Path, Chakra Light Orb and Preta Path have similar abilities, but each has its own advantages.
The Preta Path can create a light barrier, absorbing the enemy's Ninjutsu in all directions, which is a natural counter to Five Elements Release.
Touching the enemy's body can also quickly absorb the other party's Chakra and restore one's own Chakra.
However, Chakra Light Orb cannot absorb the enemy's Ninjutsu in all directions. It can only condense a green light ball in the hand, turn it into a beam of light and shoot it at the enemy. It can not only devour the Ninjutsu in front, but also penetrate the enemy's body and instantly drain the other party's Chakra.
After absorbing Ninjutsu and Chakra, this light ball can fly back, restore one's own Chakra like the Preta Path, or turn into a bomb and explode on the spot.
The stronger the enemy's Chakra, the stronger the power of the light ball's explosion.
If the Chakra of the Jinchuriki is drained, the power of this light ball will be even more amazing than a Tailed Beast Ball.
The three new abilities are all auxiliary abilities.
Including the previous Repulsion and Attraction, as well as Wireless Puppet.
Except for the lack of a special ultimate move that can strike with reduced dimensions, Izayoi is now an all-around warrior with integrated offense and defense, full of support and troop expansion!
The corners of Izayoi's mouth couldn't help but curl up in an arc, without concealing the joy in his heart.
Seeing this, Hinata couldn't help but move closer, curiously asking, "Izayoi-kun, are you sensing your new abilities?"
As she said this, Hinata's face flushed slightly, recalling the scene when Izayoi had just awakened his Tenseigan.
"Yeah, want to see?"
Pulled back to reality by Hinata's voice, Izayoi revealed a familiar mischievous smile, making Hinata's heart pound.
"...Yes."
However, the girl seemed to have fallen in love with this kind of excitement, enduring the shyness in her heart, and nodded.
"Come on, let's watch a movie together."
Izayoi first turned off the lights in the room, then pulled Hinata into his arms, and the two lay in the quilt.
Immediately, a green light tore through the darkness, like the light of a firefly, illuminating Izayoi and Hinata, who were embracing each other.
Izayoi held Hinata in his arms with one hand, and held a green light orb in the other, like a crystal.
Under Hinata's curious gaze, a picture appeared inside the crystal ball, which was the scene of Izayoi and Hinata meeting when they were young.
"Izayoi-kun, this is..." Hinata widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Izayoi with a look of surprise.
"These are my memories."
Izayoi grinned, then pinched Hinata's small face and said, "Don't talk, keep watching."
"Mmm mmm..."
Hinata nodded repeatedly, then lay in Izayoi's arms, her beautiful eyes shining as she looked at the green light orb.
The pictures inside flickered like slides.
The snowy night encounter at the age of three, the reunion at the Ninja Academy at the age of six, and then the agreed-upon joint training, climbing trees and treading water, Taijutsu Sparring, picnics, the you-chase-me-I-chase-you in the Snowman Suit...
Looking at herself and Izayoi, who were slowly growing up in the light orb, Hinata gradually became lost in thought.
Izayoi, who originally wanted to play a prank and show some indescribable little movies, didn't know when he lost that mood, but instead hugged Hinata and watched quietly, his smile full of happiness.
