--------------------------------------
Deep within the moon...a realm tethered to the universe beyond, resides the last remaining branch of the Ōtsutsuki clan, direct descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, brother to the Sage of Six Paths.
Yet the peace of their ancient duty was shattered decades ago.
A civil war erupted between the main house and the branch house, triggered by the sudden disappearance of the Gedo Statue.
Which had been sealed and safeguarded by the Ōtsutsuki family for centuries. When it was forcibly summoned to Earth, chaos broke out.
The branch family called for immediate retaliation, an assault on Earth to retrieve the statue.
The main family refused.
What followed was a brutal war beneath the pale sky of the moon. The branch house eventually emerged victorious, but at a heavy cost. The devastation halted their ambitions.
Neither Madara nor Obito ever imagined the hidden consequence of summoning the Gedo Statue, that it had torn apart a lineage on the moon.
Now, the leader of this broken clan was a man in his prime, Ōtsutsuki Tosen, white-haired, calm-eyed, with a regal air that mirrored the ancient blood flowing through him.
His hair, long and unbound, cascaded down his back like silver flame. His eyes...perpetually active Byakugan, glowed faintly, yet coldly.
Standing beside him was a quiet, youthful figure, no older than Naruto, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, born without eyes yet bearing the purest Hamura bloodline.
The famous guy who tried to cuck Naruto.
Despite his blindness, Toneri could see everything not with sight, but with sensory perception that mirrored Guts' own "Voice of All Things."
Some time ago, Tosen and Toneri had descended to Earth with a few subordinates to observe its state. During that brief trip…Toneri saw her.
Hinata.
Though nothing was said or done at the time, something about her stirred Toneri's dormant curiosity perhaps even more.
Now, back within the floating Ōtsutsuki palace…
BOOM!
A violent tremor shook the halls. Dust fell from the high ceilings. The protective seals carved into the moonstone walls flared briefly, then began to crack.
Tosen narrowed his eyes.
"In a thousand years, no one from Earth has ever set foot here," he muttered.
Still, he remained composed. Even though he hadn't awakened the Tenseigan, a dojutsu rivaling the Rinnegan, Tosen was still among the elite.
His power wasn't on the level of Madara or Hashirama, perhaps...but it was close enough.
Had he stood in Madara's place during the Fourth Shinobi War, he might not lose easily.
BOOM!
A second impact shattered the outer barriers completely. The palace shook again, this time with a low, deep rumble that echoed through the corridors like thunder.
And then...he appeared.
Guts, standing tall in the rubble of the grand gates, his cloak fluttering in the lunar windless silence.
Tosen's eyes narrowed slightly...as he watched the intruder approaching.
"That chakra… That's Byakugan, isn't it?" Guts muttered, then raised an eyebrow. "Ah, but yours is different. Always active. Unlike the Hyuga clan, huh?"
Tosen remained silent, observing him with caution.
"Our clan has existed in isolation for generations," he said calmly. "And yet, a man from Earth dares to barge into our home uninvited. Foolish."
Guts rolled his neck, cracking it with a loud pop.
"Wow, that's rich. You lot show up on Earth like you own the place, and when I return the favor, suddenly it's 'how dare you'?"
He shrugged.
"Feels like you guys are hiding something up here. Secretive. Shady. That's always a red flag."
Then, he smiled innocently.
"So I figured I'd knock first...with my fists."
Guts gaze shifted to Toneri. Recognition flashed in his eyes.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri. The kid who would one day try to take Hinata and threaten the Earth.
And if Guts was right, he'd eventually awaken the Tenseigan—a power rivaling even the Rinnegan.
Fate, it seemed, was starting to play its cards.
"Tensu Wave Meteor light."
Suddenly...without a seal, Tosen launched a glowing, cyan sphere from his palm.
The blast cut through the air like a comet.
Guts saw the light-based attack coming toward him but didn't bother to dodge.
Instead, he simply raised his fist and swung it with overwhelming force, no armament Haki, just raw power.
Boom!
The punch generated a sonic boom, colliding with the oncoming attack and completely shattering it.
No doubt about it...it was an S-rank ninjutsu.
And it had been cast without even a hand seal.
"Whoa, that was actually pretty strong," Guts said with an exaggerated tone, clearly entertained.
"Alright, if that's all you've got, I guess it's my turn."
He clasped his right fist with his left palm, rotated mid-air, and wound up.
"Meteorite Punch!"
With a sharp release, Guts launched his right fist downward...once again, no Haki, just pure, devastating physical force.
The air cracked as his fist slammed downward, sending a pressure wave roaring toward Tosen like an avalanche of raw power.
In the stunned eyes of Ōtsutsuki Tosen and Toneri
Guts's punch unleashed a shockwave powerful enough to level a mountain.
"Nani!?"
Ōtsutsuki Tosen's expression shifted drastically. He raised his hands in a stance reminiscent of Pain's Shinra Tensei.
BOOM!!!
The immense fist pressure collided with the force barrier generated by Tosen.
The resulting shockwave erupted outward, devastating everything in its path.
In just a second, half of the Grand Palace's borrowed territory was obliterated.
Boom.
Cracks spiderwebbed across the barrier.
And then it shattered entirely.
But even so, the block had bought just enough time for Tosen to narrowly dodge the direct hit, much to Guts's surprise.
Guts landed lightly, dust billowing around him.
"Not bad. You actually blocked that?" he said with a smirk. "Impressive."
'This guy's definitely beyond standard Kage-level... Super Kage-level, without a doubt,' Guts thought.
'Perfect. This might just help me push my template forward.'
Tosen stood with his arms trembling slightly, his expression grim.
"You… only used Taijutsu?"
He could hardly believe it.
The sheer scale of destruction...without chakra, without ninjutsu, was terrifying.
"Yes, just fists," Guts said casually, walking forward with relaxed steps.
"What? That enough to scare you already?"
He tilted his head, flashing a feral grin.
"C'mon, don't make this boring."
A silence hung in the air.
Then...BOOM!—Tosen's chakra erupted.
His body flared with white-blue energy, shaking the lunar palace as the true power of the Ōtsutsuki clan was unleashed.
Guts narrowed his eyes.
"Alright then… now it's getting fun."
