Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Reclaiming the Byakugan
Before he could react, that godlike figure vanished into thin air.
A flicker of doubt crossed Ōtsutsuki Shefei's mind, but before he could fully comprehend the situation, his expression shifted drastically. Without hesitation, he launched a green energy sphere in a specific direction.
Hundreds of meters away, the towering figure reappeared, standing directly in their path. The moment it emerged, it collided head-on with Shefei's green energy sphere.
Boom!
The violent explosion engulfed the black armored deity, but the very next moment, the figure emerged unscathed, speeding toward them with terrifying momentum.
"Damn it… an enemy of this level can even use space-time ninjutsu?!" Shefei gritted his teeth. "No choice—this is for the Ōtsutsuki clan's destiny!"
A dazzling green light surged from his body, the dense chakra of the Tenseigan spreading outward.
In an instant, his chakra cloak flared brilliantly, as if he had entered the true Tenseigan Mode.
Without warning, a black sphere materialized behind him—a Truth-Seeking Orb!
"A Truth-Seeking Orb? He's achieved this level?" Akira's eyes narrowed as he recognized the object behind Shefei.
This wasn't merely borrowed power anymore. Shefei had tapped into the genuine might of Tenseigan Mode. Though incomplete—manifesting only a single Truth-Seeking Orb—it was still a force to be reckoned with.
Shefei's mind raced as the Truth-Seeking Orb behind him emitted a soft green glow before shattering into a string of smaller, spinning green beads that hovered before him.
He swept his hands forward, and the beads spun rapidly, radiating an intense green light.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
With the emergence of the green light ring, an indescribable tornado erupted, far surpassing any natural hurricane.
The tempest raged relentlessly, the world reduced to a monochrome chaos of violent winds. Mountains crumbled into dust under its force.
Even Akira's Perfect Susanoo was swallowed by the storm. Shefei roared, "Now… open!"
A dark, swirling space-time portal appeared behind him. The Tenseigan's space-time manipulation ability had created the gateway.
"Clan Leader, you…" Ōtsutsuki Mari stammered, her voice trembling.
She knew Shefei's end was near. The excessive use of Tenseigan's power was a death sentence.
The others shared her grief-stricken expressions.
"Go!" Shefei shouted urgently. "This move can only stall him for a moment!"
Mari cast Shefei one last, solemn look before nodding. "We'll go."
As she stepped toward the portal, a flash of lightning pierced the air, striking from below and piercing her heart.
A single fatal blow.
Her body fell lifelessly.
"Argh!"
Shefei erupted in fury, countless green orbs appearing around him and raining down like a storm toward Uchiha Akira below.
Boom! Boom!
A chain of explosions echoed through the forest below.
Shefei didn't spare a glance at the aftermath. With a wave of his hand, the remaining Ōtsutsuki clan members were forcibly pushed into the portal before it snapped shut.
Relief flickered across Shefei's face as he confirmed their safety. His chakra cloak shattered into specks of green light, and his life force dissipated. He fell lifelessly.
Below, the explosions subsided. Akira emerged unscathed, striding toward Shefei's fallen body.
After a brief search, Akira retrieved two small bottles, each containing a Byakugan.
Examining the bottles, he muttered, "Whose Byakugan are these? Could they be Hyūga Hinata's?"
After a moment of thought, he shook his head, deciding to return the Byakugan to the Hyūga clan. Perhaps it would be a gesture of goodwill.
With no interest in keeping the Byakugan, he disappeared, reappearing at the battlefront between Konoha and Iwagakure.
The man he had ambushed earlier had already been reduced to ashes in the explosions.
Soon after Akira's arrival, Uchiha Fugaku and other commanders noticed him.
"What's happening in the village?" Fugaku asked anxiously.
Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi looked equally concerned, awaiting Akira's response.
"A group of intruders infiltrated the village to steal the Hyūga clan's Byakugan," Akira explained. "I intercepted them and recovered one pair."
"What?!" Hyūga Hiashi, supported by a branch family member, exclaimed in shock. "Akira, what exactly happened?"
The others visibly relaxed, realizing the worst-case scenario hadn't occurred.
"I'm not entirely sure," Akira said, shaking his head. "I didn't enter the village."
Tossing the Byakugan-filled bottles to Hiashi, he added, "But judging by their attire, they were likely accomplices of that individual who appeared in your clan previously."
Hiashi caught the bottles, visibly relieved. "Thank you, Akira. The Hyūga clan owes you a great debt."
"Don't mention it," Akira replied with a dismissive wave.
Konoha's two battalions soon cleared the battlefield and began their triumphant return, leaving a small force behind as a precaution.
No one believed Kumogakure or Iwagakure would dare counterattack after witnessing the awe-inspiring power of the Perfect Susanoo. Entire armies seemed trivial in comparison, easily destroyed with a single swing of its blade.
The news of Konoha's decisive victory quickly spread to the village and intelligence centers across the shinobi world.
