Meanwhile, in the ninja world—
"Mnnn—"
Kitahara Kaede's ninja rabbit, the little white bunny, yawned adorably.
Kaede reached out and gently stroked the soft fur on its head.
"If you're sleepy, just sleep."
He understood well—those arrogant Ōtsutsuki had no interest in the diluted Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.
Chapter 082: Toneri Goes Green, Zetsu: Serves You Right—You Tried to Kidnap Hinata! (Please auto-subscribe!)
On the Moon—
Zetsu's body wrapped tightly around Toneri.
This was one of its special techniques—spiritual fusion, the easiest move to activate in its current form.
It could control the target's will and redirect their jutsu.
Since the giant Tenseigan could only be operated by Toneri, then controlling Toneri himself should solve everything.
"Ugh…" Toneri groaned. "It hurts… it hurts so much!"
"As expected…"
"Just like Father once said—never trust anyone…"
"The ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths and his descendants…"
"Should all be destroyed…"
Toneri gripped Zetsu's blackened body tightly.
Around them, the puppet guardians of the Ōtsutsuki clan rushed in, trying to pull the black, gooey Zetsu off of him like melted tar.
But Zetsu remained unfazed.
"It's useless…"
"I carry the power of Kaguya-sama…"
"Much deeper and purer than any so-called descendant like you."
Zetsu sneered—and sure enough, it had taken over half of Toneri's body. His entire right side had turned black, completely under Zetsu's control.
Just like how Zetsu once took over White Zetsu's body.
Toneri's right side was now completely unresponsive.
And as Zetsu fully covered him, it could feel that Toneri's body—despite lacking eyes—was otherwise perfect.
But now, with Zetsu inside, the lack of eyes didn't matter. Zetsu could see.
Zetsu's eyeball imprinted itself in Toneri's hollow eye socket.
Because now it was Zetsu who inhabited Toneri's body.
"Ah…%"
Suddenly, Toneri cried out, and so did Zetsu.
Because part of Zetsu's being suddenly felt like it had vanished.
"My eyes…"
"I… I can see the world." Toneri, who had previously been powerless to resist, suddenly spoke in shock.
All the Ōtsutsuki puppets and even Zetsu froze in confusion.
"Was it just now… Yin-Yang Release…?"
"...Shit!"
Zetsu suddenly remembered—it had been created by Kaguya-sama using Yin-Yang Release.
It embodied her will.
Which meant… it also carried her bloodline.
Toneri, born without eyes, had a natural deficiency.
So when Zetsu took over and covered his eye sockets, he unintentionally granted Toneri what he was missing.
In other words…
The moment Zetsu covered Toneri's eyes, he gave him vision.
"…"
Zetsu was stunned.
Before it could react, Toneri ripped it off with one hand and slammed it to the ground.
"Urgh…"
"This power…"
"It's different from Hagoromo's, but even stronger…"
"That's impossible…"
Zetsu stared up in shock.
Toneri's left eye remained hollow, but the right one…
Now shimmered with brilliant light.
A beautiful, radiant evolution of the Byakugan—the Tenseigan.
"Looks like fate is on my side," Toneri declared. "This must be my ancestor's will—granting me sight once again."
"So this… this is the brilliance of the world seen through my own eyes."
"It truly is… extraordinary."
"…" Zetsu.
"…" Zetsu.
That eye was literally made from its body, damn it!
And that wasn't just a regular Byakugan—it was glowing.
A Tenseigan awakened from Zetsu's influence.
"…" Zetsu.
It had seriously taken a loss.
Because Toneri, now strengthened by the Tenseigan, had become nearly invincible.
The chakra of Hamura Ōtsutsuki he had inherited was now fully activated and transformed into his own power.
Zetsu quickly crawled toward the discarded body of White Zetsu.
Crack!
But Toneri raised his left hand.
His body erupted with a dazzling green light—the overflowing chakra was so dense it completely enveloped his figure.
That same green brilliance encased the tiny, filthy blob of Zetsu.
That green light was just the overflow of his chakra—an absurdly high amount.
"All thanks to you, I gained sight."
Toneri—now literally "greened"—seemed to be in a good mood.
"But because of that, I've become even more determined to destroy the ninja world created by the Sage of Six Paths."
"My original plan was to observe Earth… then, at a specific time, descend upon Konoha to take the White-Eyed Princess I fell in love with at first sight, then crash the Moon into Earth…"
"And create a new world."
"That plan was delayed due to my missing eyes…"
"But now…"
"It's all ahead of schedule."
Toneri spoke with terrifying resolve.
And at last, Zetsu understood—
It had seriously screwed up.
But—
"Because of you, I now have vision."
"So…"
"I'll let you witness the destruction of the ninja world."
Toneri clutched the still-bound Zetsu, now completely wrapped in green chakra, and leapt from the Moon into the skies—racing straight toward Earth.
"I don't want to go with you!!"
Zetsu panicked. After being strengthened, Toneri had become terrifying, and Zetsu didn't want to get dragged into this.
"…" Toneri.
"As you wish."
Maybe because he had regained sight and awakened the Tenseigan, Toneri was in a great mood.
He casually flung Zetsu aside.
Smack—!
Zetsu hit the ground hard, forming a massive crater.
It hurriedly climbed back up—only to see Toneri's glowing green silhouette flying off.
From the direction… it looked like he was heading straight for the Hyuga Clan compound.
The Hyuga clan…
Based on what Zetsu had learned from Toneri, he had visited the ninja world once as a child with his father.
That's when he realized that the ninja world had never known peace.
He secretly saw the Hyuga clan—more importantly, he saw Hiashi's daughter, Hyuga Hinata.
According to Toneri, he believed that if the ninja world couldn't find peace, it should be destroyed and reborn.
It sounded ridiculously chūnibyō (edgy), but he had a plan:
Use the Moon to crash into Earth—but first, find Hinata.
Hyuga Hinata, among the Hyuga clan, had the most ancient bloodline.
Naturally…
That's because Hinata had been bitten by Kaguya-sama and had undergone a bloodline reversion.
But Toneri's idea was basically this:
Kidnap Hinata, destroy the world, and then he and Hinata would rebuild it together!?
"…" Zetsu.
"Goddamn it…"
"No wonder his chakra is so green…"
"He's trying to steal Kaguya-sama's chosen one from Kitahara Kaede!"
"This guy's asking to die—!"
And to make things worse—
The little white ninja rabbit was still on Earth!
Toneri crashing the Moon was madness!
Even if he still wasn't 100% sure whether the bunny was Kaguya-sama's main body, Zetsu couldn't take a 1% risk of her being harmed.
So…
He had to find a way to eliminate Toneri.
