Chapter 398 Hinata Hyuga Goes Blind
On the moon, the battle between the two continued, with the ground cracking open with jagged ravines from time to time.
Otsutsuki Toneri hovered in mid-air, dressed in pure white robes. On his neck, which was exposed at the collar, there were magatama patterns that rose and fell slightly with his breathing.
His blue and white Tenseigan eyes were now radiating a cold light, fixed intently on Hinata Hyuga below.
His pale skin gleamed coldly in the dim light, making his slender, willow-leaf eyebrows appear even more aloof.
"You princess with the white eyes, your Sage Mode won't last much longer."
Hinata Hyuga stood on the lunar surface, her chest heaving violently, her breathing rapid and heavy, and cold sweat trickling down her cheeks.
Her Celestial Mode has been active for some time, and the stored natural energy is nearing its limit.
"That's enough for today's game!"
Uchiha Mitsumine's calm voice broke the stalemate in the battle.
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into an elusive golden afterimage, instantly teleporting behind Otsutsuki Toneri.
Otsutsuki Toneri's pupils contracted sharply, and he activated his Tenseigan at full power, but could only catch a blurry trace of light.
Before he could even activate the twelve small Truth-Seeking Jewels around his body for defense, a strong sense of crisis came from the back of his neck.
Uchiha Mitsunaga's palm condensed an exceptionally powerful amount of golden chakra, which he precisely struck Otsutsuki Toneri on the back of the neck.
"Hmm!"
Otsutsuki Toneri let out a muffled groan, the light in his Tenseigan dimmed instantly, and his body went limp as he fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
In his last moments before losing consciousness, he only saw the other person's figure flash by, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, and felt a tremendous pressure on his neck.
Upon seeing this, Hinata Hyuga's tense body suddenly relaxed, and Sage Mode was deactivated.
She staggered back half a step, her heel hitting the gravel behind her, and her body swayed uncontrollably. Her face was flushed with exhaustion, her eyelashes were covered with undried sweat, and her eyes were filled with incredulous surprise.
"Mr. Mitsumine... why... did you suddenly make a move!"
She was still figuring out how to avoid the attacks of the twelve Lesser Truth-Seeking Balls, and had even prepared to perish together with them.
But she never expected that Teacher Sanfeng's move would be so swift and decisive, so fast that she couldn't even react.
Uchiha Mitsumine smiled slightly, the hem of his black robe trailing to the ground, swaying gently with his subtle movements.
"Hinata, I only sent you here for some practical training, how could I bear to let you get seriously injured!"
"Mitsubone-sensei... you..." Hinata Hyuga lowered her head shyly, not daring to look the other person in the eye.
"Hinata, wait a moment. I still need to find the secret of the large Tenseigan and the story hidden within him from Toneri Otsutsuki."
Uchiha Mikado's golden six-tomoe Rinnegan lit up, and wisps of pale golden chakra flowed from his eyes, slowly wrapping around Toneri's forehead.
Chakra threads pierced into the depths of Toneri's consciousness like probes, and countless memories, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed into his vision.
On the cold altar, the young Otsutsuki Toneri, dressed in a thin white robe, huddled in a corner, crying helplessly.
His parents stood before him, expressionless, their eyes devoid of any affection, only filled with a fanatical thirst for power. The instant his father's two fingers fell, Otsutsuki Toneri let out a heart-wrenching scream, his blood staining the runes on the altar.
His white eye was forcibly gouged out and offered as a sacrifice to the giant Reincarnation Eye in the center.
The moment the Byakugan merged with the large Tenseigan, an eerie blue-white light shot into the sky, and the wails of countless souls echoed in the void.
However, Otsutsuki Toneri, who had lost his eyes, established a strange connection with the large Tenseigan. A powerful surge of ocular power flowed into his body, granting him control over the large Tenseigan. He could even gain super vision through it.
For the next decade or so, he looked down upon the ninja world more than 400,000 kilometers away through the vision of his large Tenseigan.
The sunshine, flowers, and laughter of the people there became his only solace.
Uchiha Mitsunori's brows furrowed slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: pity... disgust... and a chilling killing intent.
In his memory, Toneri Otsutsuki secretly spied on a woman in the ninja world taking a bath using the far-reaching vision of his large Tenseigan.
"Hmph. Misfortune is no excuse for your evil deeds."
He grabbed the back of Otsutsuki Toneri's collar with one hand and lifted the unconscious Toneri up as if he were a weightless object.
Otsutsuki Toneri's white robes were stained by the rocks, his pale cheeks were bloodless, and his long, snow-white hair hung down in disarray.
Looking at Hinata Hyuga, who was still catching her breath, the coldness in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes faded slightly, and he regained some composure: "Hinata, I'll take you to see that large Tenseigan."
Hinata Hyuga nodded, leaned against the wall, and slowly stood up, her legs still feeling a little weak.
The two walked through a passage deep within the palace, where glowing crystals were embedded in the walls on both sides, emitting a faint blue-purple light that cast their shadows long and short.
The rocks underfoot were uneven, and each step echoed clearly, reverberating through the empty passage, creating an eerie atmosphere.
At the end was a huge circular altar, even more magnificent than the altar where the Toneri had been sacrificed.
The altar floor was covered with intricate patterns, and in the center floated a large Reincarnation Eye, several meters in diameter. The white surface of the eyeball emitted a strange and powerful fluctuation of pupil power, as if countless eyeballs were superimposed on each other.
Uchiha Mitsunaga possessed immense spiritual power. He clearly sensed that the fluctuation contained the wails of countless souls, a sound that sent chills down one's spine.
He threw the servant onto the edge of the altar with a dull thud, but he still did not wake up.
He slowly walked to the center of the altar, and his golden six-tomoe wheel suddenly erupted, its dazzling golden light as bright as the sun.
"Eye Technique: God's Eye!"
The pale golden pupil energy shot out like a searchlight, piercing through the surface of the large Tenseigan and reaching its core.
Inside this giant eye technique, countless souls struggled and roared in agony. Their power was forcibly extracted and merged with the Byakugan's eye power, forming this destructive energy.
"I see. By gathering a large amount of Byakugan power, a special Byakugan was catalyzed and expanded to its limit, which is how the so-called large Tenseigan was formed."
He turned to look at Hinata, who was standing at the edge of the altar, a hint of expectation in his golden eyes: "Hinata, I now know the secrets of the Tenseigan. I will help you awaken it now!"
Hinata Hyuga nodded, a hint of nervousness and anticipation flashing in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety, and walked towards Teacher Sanfeng.
When she reached the center of the altar, she closed her eyes, let her hands hang naturally at her sides, and relaxed all the meridians in her body. She completely entrusted her safety to Teacher Sanfeng.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes flashed with approval.
The golden six-tomoe Rinnegan in his eyes suddenly switched, transforming into a pair of pure and immaculate white eyes, with a faint glow emanating from the whites of his eyes—the very ability he had mastered after fusing with the Otsutsuki bloodline.
He aimed his palm at the unconscious Otsutsuki Toneri, and his pale golden chakra wrapped around his body, continuously drawing chakra from the Tenseigan.
Otsutsuki Toneri's body twitched slightly unconsciously, his brows furrowed tightly, and a painful blush rose on his pale cheeks, as if he were enduring some kind of invisible pain.
The blue-white light of his Tenseigan dimmed at a visible speed.
"Hinata, bear with it."
Uchiha Mitsunori's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying a calming power.
"Mr. Sanfeng, I will persevere."
Hinata Hyuga could clearly feel a pure chakra constantly nourishing her body. Under the catalysis of this power, her Byakugan began to undergo strange changes, as if it had come alive, twisting, reforming, and transforming.
His pale white pupils gradually turned blue-white, and his chakra became more active, even somewhat uncontrollably violent.
This change was gradual, until a certain point!
"Uh... Ah...!"
A sudden, excruciating pain shot through her eye sockets, as if countless fine needles were piercing her eyeballs, or as if flames were burning beneath her eyes. The burning and stinging sensations intertwined, causing her to let out a piercing scream.
Hinata Hyuga's body trembled violently, and she covered her eyes tightly with her hands. She lost her balance, staggered back two steps, and fell uncontrollably to the ground.
The next second, the world before my eyes was plunged into complete darkness.
"Mr. Mitsumine! I... I can't see... Why is this happening...?"
Hinata Hyuga was panicked, her voice trembling with tears, filled with helplessness and fear. She waved her hands wildly in front of her, trying to grab onto Mitsumine-sensei.
Uchiha Mitsunori quickly stepped forward, gently supporting her shoulders, his tone both gentle and firm: "Hinata, don't be afraid, this isn't a bad thing. Your Byakugan is evolving into the Tenseigan, and you're currently in a state of fetal movement, which will temporarily cause you to be blind for a period of time. Once the evolution is complete, you will regain your sight and possess the power of the Tenseigan."
Upon hearing this, Hinata Hyuga's body gradually calmed down, and her trembling hands slowly lowered.
With her eyes tightly closed, she said in a voice that was both aggrieved and obedient, "I understand... Mr. Mitsufumi..."
She instinctively nestled into Uchiha Mitsunori's arms, seeking a sense of security after losing her sight.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.
"The time flow in the Ancestral Star Sage Village is more than five times that of the Ninja World. Resting there for a while will allow you to complete your evolution in peace."
After calming Hinata down, he slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to the unconscious Otsutsuki Toneri at the edge of the altar. The tenderness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a cold indifference.
He raised his hand and pressed it against the top of the person's head, frantically drawing chakra and soul power from the connection between him and the large Tenseigan...
