Chapter 252: The Ōtsutsuki Have a Legacy, the Hyuga Clan Have Historical Texts—It All Makes Sense!
Ōtsutsuki Shinichi looked in Kū's direction, raised his hand, and unleashed a powerful repulsive force, sending Kū, who was clearing out the puppets, flying through the air.
Ōtsutsuki Shinichi's figure disappeared right after, reappearing behind a Jonin from the Land of Lightning who was dealing with a puppet. The Jonin suddenly felt a chill as a cold voice whispered from behind him.
"I'm curious about your mission here on the moon. What are you searching for? Let me take a look at your memories."
"!!!"
Ōtsutsuki Shinichi's iron-like fingers clamped down on the Jonin's shoulder, as if to crush his bones. No matter how the Jonin struggled, he couldn't break free from the vice-like grip.
At the same time, Ōtsutsuki Shinichi placed his other hand on the back of the Jonin's head and began reading his memories.
The mental assault caused the Jonin to fall unconscious, his right hand loosening and dropping the scientific ninja tool he was about to use to the ground, leaving him completely defenseless.
The others wanted to help him, but more puppets, released by Ōtsutsuki Shinichi, kept them too occupied to provide assistance.
"I see."
Ōtsutsuki Shinichi raised an eyebrow after obtaining the information he needed. He released the Jonin, letting him fall to the ground.
"So, the secret of the Tenseigan… There is indeed relevant information on the moon. Your guess was correct, but you're in the wrong place. This is the ancestral land of the Ōtsutsuki main family, with nothing left but useless gravestones."
Ōtsutsuki Shinichi chuckled softly, seemingly recalling the history of the main family. "Just like what will happen to you in the future!"
The Konoha ninjas exchanged glances at the implication in Shinichi's words.
They were all Jonin and knew that the Hyuga clan's main family's demise had nothing to do with Danzo—it was Hyuga Hiashi who pinned the blame on him.
How fitting for relatives!
The main family on the moon was gone, and the main family in the ninja world was gone too… Truly a strange coincidence.
But this meant that if they wanted to find useful information, they would have to venture into more dangerous territory.
They glanced at the floating island in the sky with heavy hearts.
"However, this is the resting place of our ancestors, and I won't allow you to desecrate it."
With a glance from Ōtsutsuki Shinichi, three puppets, whose intelligence rivaled that of human children due to the influence of the Giant Tenseigan, flew toward the mountain cave behind them.
A Hyuga ninja had just entered the cave. Though Ōtsutsuki Shinichi doubted that ninja could find anything useful, he believed it was better to kill him just in case.
The main family of the Ōtsutsuki clan had many secrets, and leaving behind information that could harm them would only cause more trouble.
"Lee, Fū, go support Hyuga Tokuma and prepare to retreat."
Kitsuchi gave a solemn order, clasping his hands together to raise a massive earth wall, blocking Ōtsutsuki Shinichi and buying precious time for their teammates to escape.
Following the order, the two ninjas used the Body Flicker Technique, vanishing from sight.
...
A few minutes earlier, in a vast underground space, Hyuga Tokuma stood in a cemetery surrounded by tombstones, listening to the Ōtsutsuki puppet speak.
The puppet had appeared when he entered the underground space and was left behind by the main family of the Ōtsutsuki.
"To prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world, we ask you, descendant of the Hyuga clan from the ninja world, to stop my kin."
"You mean the Ōtsutsuki on the moon?"
Even though there was no one else around, Hyuga Tokuma strictly maintained his role, frowning. "What's going on? From what I know, the Ōtsutsuki on the moon are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' brother. But it seems they want to destroy the ninja world. Is that the will of the Sage's brother?"
"Of course not." The Ōtsutsuki puppet sighed, producing a white sphere that bathed the underground space in a blinding light, projecting past events before Hyuga Tokuma.
It was a battlefield where two Ōtsutsuki armies clashed.
"Like the Hyuga clan, the Ōtsutsuki clan is divided into a main family and a branch family. We…"
As the puppet explained, information about the Ōtsutsuki's mission, ancestral instructions, and the Giant Tenseigan flowed into Hyuga Tokuma's ears.
When the puppet spoke of the Giant Tenseigan, the scenes changed.
The battle initially leaned heavily in favor of the Ōtsutsuki main family. But suddenly, the tide shifted dramatically as a giant black-and-white orb resembling an eye rose from the opposing side.
Then, the light consumed everything.
Under the power of the Giant Tenseigan, the Ōtsutsuki main family disintegrated into light, becoming one with it.
"This is the history of the moon. Hyuga clansman, please stop them from misinterpreting our ancestors' words and prevent them from using the moon to destroy the ninja world. This is for you and also…"
"No, you're mistaken!" Hyuga Tokuma abruptly interrupted. "The Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon currently has no plans to crash the moon into the ninja world."
"???"
The Ōtsutsuki puppet looked at Hyuga Tokuma, utterly confused.
From its perspective, the sudden appearance of people from the ninja world surely indicated that the Ōtsutsuki on the moon were preparing to act. Otherwise, why would they come to the moon for no reason? Seeing the puppet's bewildered expression, Hyuga Tokuma said seriously, "Here's the situation. We discovered the existence of historical texts…"
As Tokuma continued, the Ōtsutsuki puppet grew increasingly perplexed.
Historical texts? The Sage of Six Paths and the ancestors left such things in the ninja world?
However, when he asked which clans possessed these texts and heard the names Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Kaguya, he no longer found it strange.
Indeed, these clans were descendants of the ancestors and the Sage of Six Paths.
The so-called historical texts must be warnings left by the Sage and the ancestors for future generations, right? As descendants of the ancestors, the Ōtsutsuki clan had inherited many legacies, so the Hyuga clan having a historical text didn't seem odd.
It made perfect sense!
Just as the puppet, whose soul was that of a former Ōtsutsuki main family head, convinced itself, it heard Hyuga Tokuma shift the topic.
"The Konoha rogue ninja Hyuga Fuji obtained a historical text containing the secret of the Tenseigan. We came to the moon to counter him."
"Tenseigan?!" The Ōtsutsuki puppet's eyes widened. "You mean that Hyuga clansman possesses the power of the ancestors?"
"Yes."
To strengthen his argument, Hyuga Tokuma continued, "The Ōtsutsuki branch family on the moon likely knows this too. They still harbor malice towards the ninja world, but their current main target is also Hyuga Fuji. Since arriving in the ninja world two years ago, Ōtsutsuki Shinichi has been targeting Hyuga Fuji."
The puppet, rattled by this information—especially regarding the Tenseigan—knew it was beyond its capability to handle.
There was only one option…
Summon the ancestors!
"Ancestors!"
The white light bloomed once more, and this time, numerous Ōtsutsuki figures related to the cemetery appeared before Hyuga Tokuma.
