"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
The white-haired old man's temple veins bulged—he had activated the Byakugan!
With a sharp shout, he raised his aged palm toward Naruto in the sky and struck fiercely through the air.
A blast of transparent chakra tore through the atmosphere like a homing missile.
It was a severely downgraded version of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
To Naruto, this wasn't even a threat—it was a tickle.
With a casual flick of his hand, a wind blade swept forth, instantly erasing both the Vacuum Palm and the old man who launched it.
After his death, the massive palace showed no sign of other life.
Naruto wasn't surprised.
Because this Giant Tenseigan had already been formed—
And its creation required sacrificing nearly all members of the Moon's Byakugan branch family as fuel.
The eye was formed by quantity turning into quality—an evolution through fusion of countless Byakugan.
That clan's ancestors were truly ruthless.
In pursuit of ultimate power, they sacrificed over 99% of their own people.
Just as Naruto was preparing to absorb the Giant Tenseigan—
A sharp voice echoed from one of the rooms.
"Grandfather!"
Three figures stepped into the grand hall.
Two men, one woman.
The one who had just shouted was a tall white-eyed girl.
The other two: one middle-aged, one young.
The young man had pale skin, long white hair, and a delicate, slightly feminine face. His eyes were closed.
Naruto's gaze settled on the white-haired youth.
'Ōtsutsuki Toneri?'
His appearance instantly reminded Naruto of the villain from the movie—Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
In his previous life, Naruto hadn't seen the full film,
He only watched a few clips.
This was the guy who tried to marry Hinata,
And split the moon in half with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
"Such terrifying talent… this one cannot be allowed to live," Naruto murmured.
The tall girl ran forward and, upon seeing her grandfather's corpse, immediately activated her Byakugan.
She glared at Naruto in rage.
But the moment her gaze locked onto him—
Her vision nearly went blind.
What she saw through the Byakugan was a chakra so immense, so dense,
That her soul itself trembled.
More chakra than she could comprehend.
Far purer than anything she'd ever witnessed.
Her rage dissolved instantly.
It was replaced by primal fear, etched deep into her genes.
Like the most venomous centipede meeting a star-ranked beast—there was no fight, only flight.
"Who are you… Why are you doing this?"
The middle-aged man, calm and composed, asked.
He had seen too much death from the merging of their clan into the Giant Tenseigan. He no longer feared loss.
"Uncle… this guy is terrifying! Let's run!" The tall girl was now terrified.
Any thought of revenge had completely evaporated.
The man sighed.
"Run? Where can we run?"
At that moment, the previously silent white-haired Toneri looked up at Naruto.
His eye sockets had no eyeballs, only an eerie pale void.
This wasn't the Byakugan.
The Byakugan was white, yes, but it still had visible pupils.
Toneri had no eyes, and yet… he seemed to see Naruto clearly.
"Intruders must die."
As his cold words fell, the Giant Tenseigan in the center of the hall began to shine with white light.
Massive amounts of chakra—condensed into ocular power—flooded into Toneri's empty sockets.
The energy spun, compressed—
And formed a pair of light-blue Tenseigan in his eye sockets!
The tall girl gasped with joy.
"Right! I forgot! Toneri can draw on the Giant Tenseigan's power!"
"With the Tenseigan, we can beat him!"
"Toneri, kill him! Avenge grandfather!"
Naruto looked curiously at Toneri's "Tenseigan."
The chakra within them… was unstable.
Not even close to the same league as the real Tenseigan, or the Rinnegan.
Let alone Naruto's current eyes, which had already evolved beyond a mere Tenseigan.
His eyes had absorbed Rinnegan, two Mangekyō, and undergone fusion.
What Toneri had—was basically a trial version.
Lacking the key bloodline, he had forcibly crammed the Giant Tenseigan's energy into two placeholder orbs.
Those eyes wouldn't last long.
They'd dissolve soon enough.
Toneri's newly acquired eyes glowed coldly as he looked at Naruto.
To him, Naruto was already a corpse.
The next moment, his eyes flared—
A greenish Tenseigan Chakra Cloak ignited around his body.
He had entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode!
But it was clearly incomplete—
There were no Truth-Seeking Orbs, and the chakra wasn't that impressive.
The white-eyed girl cheered up.
Standing behind Toneri, she glared at Naruto again with smug defiance.
"Say your last words," Toneri said coldly, like a king passing sentence.
Naruto slowly shook his head.
"Why are these people all so damn confident?"
"Did I say you could use the Tenseigan?" Naruto suddenly barked.
Before Toneri could react, Naruto's eyes flared—
Exploding with overwhelming ocular power.
The entire palace shook.
The Giant Tenseigan above suddenly responded—
Its light intensifying, as if awakened.
Naruto glared—
And in that instant, the Tenseigan in Toneri's eyes dissolved.
The energy melted into pure ocular force,
And was absorbed directly into Naruto's eyes.
Toneri staggered, clutching his face.
"My eyes… what's happening!?"
He tried to reconnect with the Giant Tenseigan.
But the connection had been severed.
Completely.
His vision vanished.
Panic consumed him.
"Grandfather… this isn't what you said would happen!
Wasn't the Tenseigan supposed to be unbeatable?
How is a Shinobi from the surface this strong!?"
The white-eyed girl and the middle-aged man were frozen with terror.
Just one glare from Naruto had shaken the entire palace.
The one they had pinned all their hopes on—Toneri—
Had his eyes vaporized instantly.
And then, the Giant Tenseigan, as if recognizing its true master, floated to Naruto.
And… was absorbed into his eyes.
Snap.
Hope—extinguished.
The white-eyed girl looked at Naruto again—
And collapsed on the floor.
Her legs kicked backward instinctively—
"Run… if we don't run, we're absolutely dead…"
That was the only thought left in her mind.
