The Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was a technique he had long wanted to try.
He had been waiting for the "cooldown" on the moon to reset. Now that some time had passed since his return, it was finally time to test it out.
"This year seems uneventful. All that's left is the Jōnin assessment and checking out the rewards for my Main Quest."
The Main Quest had always been a bit of a thorn in his side.
The first quest had held him up for thirteen years. Luckily, the reward for completing it had been exceptional.
As for the reward for the second quest, to be honest, he wasn't as concerned about it.
After all, what truly mattered to him was advancing the evolution of his bloodline.
And the Starter Pack had already provided him with some of the best resources this world had to offer.
"Perhaps the remaining quests will also revolve around improving my bloodline. But either way, having something is better than nothing."
With this thought, he glanced at Naruto and Sasuke—those two unlucky kids—being escorted by an ANBU member and the aggrieved homeowner toward the Hokage's office. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"This version of Sasuke is quite interesting. It's just a pity that everything changes after the Chūnin Exams. Speaking of which, I wonder how this year's Chūnin Exams will turn out..."
"Ah, forget it. No point dwelling on it. I've got some time now, so I might as well test this out. Besides, there's a dinner gathering tonight."
"Apologies, apologies. I'll find a way to compensate you. This was just an accident."
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was profusely apologizing to the aggrieved homeowner. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Naruto were trembling in fear, not daring to say a word.
Blowing up someone's house was entirely their fault, and they knew it. They didn't dare to shift the blame onto Kitagawa Minamoto either.
After all, Minamoto had genuinely taught them some useful combat techniques. Even if those methods were a bit underhanded, they were undeniably effective.
Not to mention, if they tried to complain, Minamoto's mischievous personality would surely make them regret it. Just imagining it sent chills down their spines.
"What on earth were you two thinking?!"
After the homeowner left, satisfied, Hiruzen finally turned his attention to the two boys.
He felt his blood pressure rising. Why couldn't anything good happen lately?
"Blowing up someone's house? Really? Is this what they're teaching you at the academy?!"
"Uh... it was just an accident..."
Naruto mumbled softly, and Sasuke nodded in agreement.
"An accident? Just an accident?"
"Whether it was an accident or not, you two need to remember: you're future shinobi tasked with protecting this village."
Hiruzen sighed deeply before continuing in a serious tone.
"So how could you act so recklessly within the village? Couldn't you have gone to a training ground instead?"
"..."
"I'll let it slide this time, but I hope you've learned your lesson. Don't ever do something like this again. Focus on your studies, understood?"
"Yes, sir."
Naruto and Sasuke nodded earnestly, too afraid to even mention Minamoto's involvement.
"Alright then, you two can go now."
Seeing how subdued they were, Hiruzen sighed again. What more could he say?
Other than tightening the academy's discipline, there wasn't much else he could do. Besides, his attention was needed elsewhere.
"The Akatsuki, the mysterious 'Ōtsutsuki Minamoto-shiki,' and the Chūnin Exams..."
Hiruzen rubbed his temples, feeling a wave of frustration wash over him.
Perhaps the only thing that brought him some comfort was Kitagawa Minamoto's steady progress.
"Lord Hokage..."
Deep in thought, Hiruzen was interrupted by Naruto's sudden voice.
"I've developed a new technique, and I'd like you to take a look at it."
"Hmm? A technique? One you developed yourself?"
Hiruzen blinked in surprise, and Naruto nodded enthusiastically.
"That's right! I came up with it myself! Minamoto told me to show it to you for evaluation, so... Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Wait, Minamoto? Hold on—stop right there!"
"Ninja Art: Harem Technique!"
With a puff of smoke, several blonde-haired beauties emerged, their forms faintly discernible through a hazy mist.
Sasuke's eyes widened, his face turning bright red.
Hiruzen, meanwhile, froze in place, his expression blank.
Then, with a burst of nosebleed, he collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Huh?"
"Lord Hokage!"
"Quick, call for a medical-nin!"
Chaos erupted in the Hokage's office.
"Alright, this is the place."
While Konohagakure was in an uproar, Kitagawa Minamoto appeared in a secluded valley outside the village.
The next moment, his eyes transformed into the Tenseigan, their azure glow shimmering with an ethereal light.
"No one's around. Perfect."
After carefully surveying the area and confirming it was deserted, he nodded in satisfaction.
This valley, located near the Fire Temple, was a desolate stretch of land.
In fact, during his earlier battle here against Obito Uchiha and others as "Ōtsutsuki Minamoto-shiki," the area had already been reduced to ruins. Any further destruction wouldn't make much of a difference.
Buzz—
In an instant, a surge of immense Chakra enveloped his body, radiating an aura as soft and luminous as moonlight.
Clearly, he had established a connection with the Tenseigan on the moon!
With each use, he had grown increasingly adept at this process.
"And I'm getting better at locking onto the 'Giant Tenseigan.' It's becoming clearer and clearer."
This clarity was so vivid that he felt as though he could almost glimpse the legendary Hamura Shrine through the Tenseigan.
Yet something still seemed to be obstructing him, as if he were just a step away.
"Perhaps it's because my eyes haven't undergone their second evolution yet."
He speculated. While he didn't need to experience the so-called "three fetal movements," he suspected his eyes would require at least three upgrades to reach their full potential.
Only then could he achieve a complete Tenseigan. And after that, who knew? Perhaps he could even awaken the Rinnegan.
"Maybe I'll even grow a Rinnegan on my forehead."
He wasn't entirely sure, but he had a strong feeling this transformation was inevitable.
He didn't mind the idea of a third eye on his forehead. To him, such an eye would likely be a "Heavenly Eye."
"Besides, my eyes' abilities should only grow stronger. This process won't be short, but it'll be worth it."
His Tenseigan not only retained the Byakugan's clairvoyance but also incorporated the "insight" he had gained from Obito Uchiha's Yin Release.
He didn't know how the original Tenseigan functioned, but he had a hunch that as long as he kept evolving, his eyes would become truly unique.
"After all, with my current bloodline and growth path, I already stand out as 'one of a kind.'"
Who knows? Perhaps one day, he could ascend to become the so-called "God of the Ōtsutsuki."
"Alright, that's enough thinking. Let's do this."
Feeling his Chakra reach its peak, he slowly raised his hand.
A black rod infused with the Sword of Totsuka materialized in his grasp, transforming into the shape of a long sword.
Fixing his gaze on the distant valley, he took a deep breath before swinging the blade.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Boom—
Harnessing the combined power of the Sword of Totsuka and the Tenseigan's Chakra, a massive storm erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire valley.
Within this seemingly apocalyptic tempest, everything was shredded into fine particles, colliding and disintegrating with deafening roars.
The valley quaked and crumbled, as though the heavens and earth themselves were being torn asunder, leaving an overwhelming sense of dread in its wake.
"It still feels like it's missing something."
Controlling the energy of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Minamoto couldn't help but ponder.
For now, this level of power seemed sufficient. But he knew his future opponents were anything but ordinary.
If "Ōtsutsuki Minamoto-shiki" was to live up to his lofty reputation, his strength couldn't fall short.
"Alright then..."
Taking a deep breath, he channeled Natural Energy into his body.
With its enhancement, he felt an overwhelming surge of power, as though nothing was impossible in this moment.
Buzz—
As Natural Energy roared within him, the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion's power grew exponentially, its destructive force reaching terrifying new heights.
The sprawling valley, already battered, began to collapse and disintegrate under the onslaught, until nothing remained but a barren void.
