Hinata's prematurely awakened power made Otsutsuki Toneri feel delighted, but he soon sensed another chakra accompanying her, rushing rapidly toward the center of the palace.
Otsutsuki Toneri realized the enemy wasn't heading here for anything good, and his expression changed slightly. He also immediately flashed and appeared in another great hall.
Here, a massive purple eyeball stood in the middle of the hall.
This was the core of the palace, and also his greatest reliance, the Tenseigan.
He walked up to the Tenseigan, then turned to face the entrance of the hall.
Very soon, a streak of light flashed past, and a figure appeared in front of him.
"A person from the ninja world dares to step into the domain of a god. What exactly is your purpose?"
Although Otsutsuki Toneri had no eyes, his face was full of arrogance.
"…"
'Why does this Otsutsuki Toneri sound just like Nagato?'
'Could it be that people with special eyes all like talking like this?'
Aoba suddenly felt like he didn't quite fit in.
"As for my purpose, it's probably that Tenseigan behind you."
Aoba spoke bluntly, his gaze locking directly onto that large purple eyeball.
"You actually know about the Tenseigan?"
Otsutsuki Toneri's expression showed disbelief.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any records about the Tenseigan in the ninja world. Even the Hyuga clan knew nothing about it.
He suddenly thought of Hinata's eyes again and seemed to understand the other party's true purpose.
"I see. You want to use the power of this Tenseigan to help Hinata fully awaken," As he spoke, Otsutsuki Toneri raised his hand and pressed it against the Great Tenseigan.
A large number of green chakra spheres emerged from the surface of the giant eye.
Very quickly, they shot toward Aoba like arrows.
"In that case, once my plan is complete and the ninja world is destroyed, I will help awaken Hinata's eyes. And you… will stay here forever!"
Otsutsuki Toneri said indifferently.
Hinata was the wife he had chosen. After he destroyed the ninja world and created a brand new world, he would naturally help her awaken.
"Quite confident, aren't you."
Facing the incoming chakra spheres, Aoba's expression didn't change.
These were mental control spheres that could manipulate a target's consciousness and strip away their free will.
Since he also possessed a Tenseigan, he naturally understood its abilities.
But they were useless against him.
Aoba simply raised his hand.
Shinra Tensei!
An invisible repulsive force burst out from his palm.
In an instant, all the mental spheres flying toward him were immediately reflected back, and that same force blasted directly toward Otsutsuki Toneri.
"This… this is the power of the Rinnegan? How is this possible?"
Sensing this special power, Otsutsuki Toneri was shaken to the core and hurriedly activated the Great Tenseigan.
A flash of purple light passed.
The Great Tenseigan also generated a repulsive force, barely offsetting Aoba's attack.
"Who exactly are you?"
An ominous feeling rose in Otsutsuki Toneri's heart. Of course he recognized the Rinnegan.
According to the clan's records, this was an eye that could rival the Tenseigan.
In other words, the other party possessed power capable of threatening him.
"Right now, I seem more like a god than you."
Imitating Nagato, Aoba controlled his body to float up, answering from above.
"You!"
Cold sweat began forming on Otsutsuki Toneri's forehead.
The appearance of the Rinnegan completely shattered his understanding.
He hadn't expected that in such a short moment, the situation would reverse.
Without hesitation, he poured his own chakra into the Great Tenseigan.
The surface of the eyeball immediately lit up once more with dazzling brilliance.
As the light gathered, several chakra orbs appeared on its surface.
The chakra orbs spun rapidly, forming a ring of light. Immediately after, a terrifying storm erupted.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion?"
The storm was still gathering, yet Aoba had already recognized the technique.
Wasn't this just showing off the axe before the master?
He simply switched into Tenseigan Chakra Mode as well.
"You actually have a Tenseigan too?"
Otsutsuki Toneri was so shocked that he almost lost his voice.
Their entire clan had been sacrificed just to obtain this one Tenseigan, yet the other side not only had a pair, but even possessed the Rinnegan.
This was too unfair.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
However, what responded to him was the exact same technique as the one unleashed by his own Great Tenseigan, but clearly a bit stronger.
An even more violent storm blasted toward Otsutsuki Toneri.
For a moment, the two storms collided within the palace like natural disasters.
The entire palace trembled for an instant, then countless cracks spread in a flash, splitting apart and exploding.
The storm immediately spread outward in all directions. The puppets that the Otsutsuki clan had accumulated over many years inside the palace were almost completely wiped out in an instant.
Outside the palace, the puppets that had been fighting Hinata also stopped moving, then twisted and collapsed to the ground.
Although Hinata didn't know the exact situation, she didn't need to think to realize this was caused by the aftermath of Aoba's battle.
At the center of the storm, the one released by the giant Tenseigan only held on for a brief moment before being torn apart instantly.
An unstoppable force blasted straight toward Otsutsuki Toneri.
"What?"
Otsutsuki Toneri was immediately struck with dread.
He once again poured the remaining chakra in his body into the Tenseigan. Several more chakra orbs flew out and gathered together.
They stretched continuously, transforming into a golden light sword that seemed to pierce heaven and earth.
A dazzling golden light illuminated more than half the moon.
If it had been nighttime, even the ninja world might have seen the entire moon radiating a brilliant glow.
The light sword shot upward, as if reaching the very end of the sky.
In the original work, this was considered Otsutsuki Toneri's most powerful technique, a single strike capable of splitting the moon.
And now, his target was only to split the storm in front of him.
The storm was indeed cut open as he expected, but in Aoba's hand, a golden light blade also appeared.
The two streaks of golden light collided, immediately triggering an explosion.
In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to collapse.
The palace, which had already been torn apart, was now nothing more than a massive crater.
Only the Great Tenseigan still floated quietly at the center.
As for Otsutsuki Toneri, his hand that had originally been pressed against the Great Tenseigan had already fallen away.
His whole body lay limp beneath it, gasping heavily.
There was no trace of his previous arrogance left on his face, only fear remained.
As for Aoba… the corner of his clothes was slightly dirty.
