Chapter 509: The Origin of the Tenseigan
However, as soon as she finished speaking,
Smack!
A warm and powerful hand unceremoniously grabbed the pair of wooden Dragon horns on her head, then gently tugged, pulling her entire body behind him.
"Don't cause trouble."
Naruto's calm voice rang out, carrying a trace of unquestionable authority.
He didn't even spare Otohime another glance. His gaze bypassed her entirely and fell upon Hamura, who was standing guard ahead, his tone becoming solemn and direct:
"Senior Hamura, there's no need to be tense. This Otsutsuki has already been subdued by me."
Naruto weighed his words. "I would like to ask you, Senior, how exactly can the Hyuga Clan awaken the 'Tenseigan'?"
Hamura had originally raised his weapon in full alert, even suspecting whether Naruto had been controlled or bewildered by Otohime using some sort of method.
But seeing Naruto grab Otohime's horns so skillfully and naturally, dragging her behind him like a kitten, most of the doubts in his heart were instantly dispelled.
This posture and tone did not look like someone who was controlled at all.
Instead, it looked like... a master disciplining a disobedient pet?
Hamura's gaze lingered for a moment on Naruto's hand, which was holding Otohime's Dragon horns, and a hint of strangeness and admiration couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
Had he really subdued a member of the Otsutsuki Clan's Main Family?
Perhaps this Sixth Hokage from another world really was the "Child of Prophecy" who could change everything, just as his elder brother had said?
Thinking of this, Hamura's tense expression relaxed slightly. He even slowly gave Naruto a thumbs-up, his Face showing a complex expression that seemed to say "well done" and "young people really know how to enjoy themselves."
Seeing how the boy skillfully gripped the horns on Otohime's head, could he be treating them as handles?
Wait, didn't this kid say earlier that he had "subdued" this Otsutsuki?
Hamura couldn't help but complain in his heart. Young people these days really knew how to play!
And within the Seal, Kaguya's Chakra will fluctuated violently because of this unbelievable scene before her!
Otohime, a member of the Otsutsuki Clan's Main Family who stood high above and viewed all things as ants, was actually treated so roughly and casually by a person from the Ninja World!
What was even more ridiculous was that Otohime didn't immediately fly into a rage and counterattack. Instead... she seemed to be... somewhat used to it?
Kaguya felt like her entire worldview had been shattered!
What on earth happened between the two of them?!
"Hey, hey! Hokage!"
Dragged behind Naruto, Otohime finally reacted. Lowering her voice, she said with a hint of shame and annoyance, "Save me some Face!"
She was, after all, a high-ranking member of the Otsutsuki Clan. To be treated like this was too embarrassing!
"We can talk about Face after getting the benefits. It's not shameful."
Young Naruto didn't even turn his head. He also lowered his voice, replying in a volume only the two of them could hear, his tone calm yet unquestionable.
He now urgently needed a practical method to awaken the Tenseigan!
Before coming to the Moon, he had made a guarantee to Hyuga Hiashi!
Although if he went back on his word, given his current strength and status, Hiashi wouldn't dare do anything to him, Naruto didn't like making empty promises.
He would basically do whatever he promised his friends.
If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't agree to it in the first place.
As for enemies?
That was a different story.
All is fair in war, understand?
Besides, when facing Zabuza and Haku before, didn't he also keep his promise and let them go after they left the Executioner's Blade behind?
He, Uzumaki Naruto, had always been a man of his word!
As for Face?
In the Face of practical benefits and promises, sometimes it could be put aside.
After all, Naruto had grown up in a less-than-ideal environment since childhood; Face was not even as practical as the soles of his shoes!
Naruto turned his gaze back to Hamura, his eyes firm and sincere:
"Senior Hamura, please tell me everything about the Tenseigan.
This is extremely important to me and the Hyuga Clan."
Hamura nodded and sheathed his sword, his expression becoming serious:
"The Tenseigan... It's a long story. Since you are asking, I will tell you everything I know."
Recalling what he knew about the Tenseigan in his mind, and combining it with what his mother had just explained, Hamura detailed the information regarding the Tenseigan and the Byakugan:
"The so-called Tenseigan is an evolved form of the Byakugan. According to the information I've gathered, the Byakugan is known as the Pure Eye, and the Tenseigan is merely one of its evolutions."
Naruto saw Hamura pause and knew the other party was giving him a chance to ask questions, so he voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
"Senior Hamura, you don't seem to have ever awakened the Tenseigan. What exactly is the origin of the Tenseigan?"
"According to the ancient records left on the Moon, the appearance of the first Tenseigan originated from an accident between this lineage on the Moon and the Hyuga Clan of the Ninja World."
"That was hundreds of years ago. A young Clan Chief on the Moon voluntarily went on a mission to the Ninja World to exchange knowledge with the Hyuga Clan.
During a sudden assassination attempt in the chaotic Ninja World, this lunar clansman unfortunately lost his own eyes in order to protect the Hyuga Clan head of that time."
Hamura's voice carried a hint of emotion:
"The Hyuga Clan head was grateful for his life-saving grace and the bond of their shared Bloodline, so he made an astonishing decision.
In return, he transplanted his own eyes into that blinded lunar clansman."
"Once that lunar clansman regained his sight, they were astonished to find that the transplanted eyes had undergone a bizarre change.
After entering the body of the lunar clansman, that pair of Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan head received some sort of'stimulation' and 'evolution', transforming into eyes that contained terrifying power.
That was the 'Tenseigan'."
Naruto understood in his heart. He knew how the Byakugan evolved into the Tenseigan; he just wanted to know if there were other methods.
He hadn't expected the appearance of the Tenseigan to actually stem from an accident.
"They quickly realized that the power of the Tenseigan was simply too immense, and could even lead to unpredictable consequences."
Hamura's tone grew heavy. "Fortunately, at the time, the only ones who knew about this were that Hyuga Clan head, his heir, and the young lunar Clan Chief who had awakened the Tenseigan."
"To keep this secret and prevent the power from being abused and causing disputes, the Hyuga Clan head, the young Clan Chief, and that lunar clansman made a covenant, recording the matter in detail, and agreed: this matter would become top secret, and only successive Clan Chiefs of the Hyuga Clan and the Clan Chiefs of the Main Family on the Moon would be qualified to know."
Up to this point, the story should have been a positive one.
However, Naruto, who knew the ultimate fate of this Otsutsuki lineage on the Moon, had already roughly guessed what happened next.
Otohime blinked and, taking advantage of Naruto's distracted attention, quietly pried Naruto's hand away.
Just as Naruto expected, Hamura's next words revealed human greed and tragedy.
"But secrets always leak out eventually. Later, in one generation of the lunar Main Family's head, his second son became the head of the Branch Family in accordance with clan rules.
This second son's heart was filled with unwillingness and resentment.
He was resentful that just because he was born slightly later, he had forever lost the opportunity to become the head of the Main Family."
"His elder brother, the head of the Main Family at the time, perhaps out of guilt or perhaps out of brotherly affection, finally handed over the book recording the secret of the Tenseigan for him to read under his persistent begging."
Hamura's voice lowered:
"Upon learning the secret, the second son felt no gratitude. Instead, a crazy idea formed in his mind.
He felt that since the Byakugan could evolve based on the difference in the 'quality' of Chakra and Ocular Power, could it also achieve evolution by relying on the accumulation of quantity?"
"Thus, he began to secretly propagate among the Branch Family: 'By gathering the Byakugan together, we can complete a great evolution and obtain power that surpasses our ancestors!'
Utilizing the long-suppressed resentment of the Branch Family, he gathered a large number of Branch Family members and bewitched them into offering up their own eyes!"
"What no one expected was that this crazy concept actually succeeded!"
Hamura's tone carried disbelief and deep sorrow. "The Byakugan of countless Branch Family members were gathered, and through some sort of ritual or Formation, they actually fused and evolved, creating a massive Giant Tenseigan."
"The newly created Giant Tenseigan possessed power so terrifying that it was beyond imagination.
It easily crushed all of the Main Family's resisting forces.
After a bloody rebellion, the Branch Family replaced the Main Family, becoming the only surviving lineage on the Moon.
And that Giant Tenseigan, traded for with the eyes and lives of countless compatriots, also became the new core of power for the Moon."
After finishing this bloody history, Hamura fell silent for a moment before looking at Naruto and voicing his own speculation:
"Combining this history with my mother's discourse on the nature of the Byakugan, I speculate..."
Hamura held up two fingers. "If the people of the Hyuga Clan want to awaken the Tenseigan, they may need to satisfy one of the following conditions:
"First, to receive the infusion or Fusion of the Moon's Otsutsuki lineage's Chakra. Just like that initial Hyuga Clan head, his eyes evolved after being nurtured by the body of the lunar clansman."
"Second, to directly obtain the eyes of the Moon's Otsutsuki lineage for transplantation or Fusion, stimulating evolution through the interaction between one's own Chakra and the foreign eyes."
"Of course, this is merely speculation based on known history.
The evolutionary paths of the Byakugan might not be limited to these.
There might be other unknown conditions or opportunities.
But at least, establishing a connection with the Chakra or eyes of the Moon's Otsutsuki descendants is a viable path that has been proven by history."
