Chapter 92 – The Moon, The Puppet Kid, and The Giant Tenseigan
When Tsunade finally regained consciousness,
Aike had already collected Yakumo and Hinata, and shot into the sky with Nami, Carina, Kaya, Izumi, Yakumo, and Hinata in tow.
All that remained was an empty inn room and one very regretful Slug Princess.
"Damn it! This is all Jiraiya's fault!"
The hope that had just sparked—gone in a hangover.
In a fit of drunken rage, Tsunade punched the nearest wall.
The inn that had miraculously survived the Konoha Crush did not survive Tsunade's fist.
Only Shizune was left bowing repeatedly and paying for the damages…
Meanwhile,
After leaving Konoha, Aike had zero interest in hunting for teleportation points.
He simply wrapped the girls in a protective layer of spiritual energy and rocketed toward the moon like a human missile.
The moment they crossed the Ōtsutsuki barrier and landed,
the moon's barren, cratered surface greeted them.
"This is the moon? It's… kinda dead."
"So many craters…"
Nami sounded disappointed.
Carina, Kaya, Izumi, Yakumo, and Hinata's childhood fantasies of a beautiful moon shattered instantly.
"What did you expect? Princess Kaguya in a bamboo stalk? Or the rabbit pounding mochi?"
Aike laughed.
(Though technically, Kaguya did exist—just not the fairy-tale version.)
While they were busy sightseeing,
rustling noises suddenly echoed across the silent moon.
From every direction.
"People living on the moon?!"
Yakumo yelped as countless figures swarmed from the sky.
"No life signs. Puppets," Izumi corrected, Sharingan spinning.
"But puppets mean someone's pulling the strings, so you're not totally wrong."
"And they're clearly not friendly," Carina grinned, cracking her knuckles.
Her power was perfect for mob control.
One massive tornado later—every puppet was scrap metal.
Aike, however, had no time for small fry.
One Kamui jump and the whole group materialized right in front of Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
"Yo, kiddo. Hi there~"
Toneri stared, mouth open.
"You… who are you?!"
Aike didn't give him time to process.
Nor did he feel like chatting with a brainwashed child who wanted to blow up the world.
One light genjutsu and Toneri was trapped in an infinite loop.
Aike even made it educational—Izanami-style.
Only when Toneri genuinely realized the branch family's ideology was wrong would he wake up.
Otherwise? Eternal timeout.
Of course, before leaving, Aike skimmed the kid's memories for fun and profit.
Then another Kamui jump straight to the heart of the palace.
At its center floated his real target:
a glowing yellow orb with snowflake patterns, radiating immense power.
The Giant Tenseigan—forged from the fused Byakugan of every Ōtsutsuki branch member.
"You girls wait here."
The area was protected by a barrier.
Anyone not of Hamura's direct bloodline would have their chakra drained on contact.
Better safe than sorry.
As for Aike himself—thanks to the deal with Neji, he technically qualified as "Hamura descendant lite."
