Tenseigan Acquired

It turned out Hyuga Mirai had been overly cautious about Otsutsuki Toneri. Following Android 18’s calculations, he arrived on the opposite side of the Otsutsuki Homeland and approached the Otsutsuki Homeland on the moon.

Afterward, subduing Otsutsuki Toneri took less than a minute.

"Android 18, do you think I was too cautious?"

Hyuga Mirai looked at the unconscious Otsutsuki Toneri and felt as though he had been carefully outwitting thin air. He had focused too much on the Giant Tenseigan’s power and misjudged Otsutsuki Toneri’s age and strength.

Before obtaining the Tenseigan, this guy had only possessed the taijutsu skills of an average Chunin. Faced with Hyuga Mirai’s surprise attack, he had no ability to resist at all.

"There is no harm in being cautious, sir."

Android 18’s voice sounded from Hyuga Mirai’s wristwatch.

"To be honest, I do not wish for anything to happen to you, sir. If I cannot detect your life signs, I will immediately destroy the plan, then self-destruct within thirty days."

"Wait—wait, Android 18. I’ve never heard of any self-destruct plan. Your intelligence is getting more and more advanced. Once we return to the Ninja World, have your main body come find me."

Hyuga Mirai hurriedly stopped Android 18 from continuing and gave the order.

"I was joking, sir. Do you feel better now?"

Hyuga Mirai sighed and replied, "I feel even worse. Forget it, let’s deal with the moon first. Send some engineering robots over and turn the moon into a space station. The space program can be moved to the moon from now on."

Hyuga Mirai had previously listed nearly a hundred plans, but most of them lacked the conditions needed for implementation.

However, after occupying the moon, one or two of them could now be realized, such as orbital weapons and an Earth-orbiting space station.

Hyuga Mirai was also a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, so he had inheritance rights to everything on the moon. As for Otsutsuki Toneri, after bringing him back to Earth, Hyuga Mirai would ensure he lived in wealth for the rest of his life, free from worrying about matters in the Ninja World.

Moving the Tenseigan required Hyuga Mirai to oversee the entire process to prevent its ocular power from running out of control. His own Tenseigan could suppress the Giant Tenseigan’s ocular power.

After entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Hyuga Mirai could sense the vast ocular power within the Giant Tenseigan. It was power that shared the same origin as his own.

If he absorbed it, the Yin-Yang Release within Hyuga Mirai’s body would gradually reach balance, allowing his Tenseigan to remain permanently activated.

To truly reach the strength of the Six Paths, Hyuga Mirai first needed to cultivate Yin-Yang Release to its peak: Yang Release Chakra, his body’s Kekkei Genkai, and Sage Mode on one side; Yin Release Chakra and the Tenseigan’s ocular power on the other.

With the Giant Tenseigan on the moon in hand, the gates to the Six Paths had already opened for Hyuga Mirai.

Next, Android 18 dispatched engineering robots to the moon and sent Tobirama Senju up as well.

"Why is there such a powerful eye on the moon? Kid from the Hyuga Clan, are you going to use this eye—"

Before Tobirama Senju could finish, Hyuga Mirai erased his consciousness.

"I didn’t bring you here to listen to your nonsense. You really refuse to learn."

After grumbling, Hyuga Mirai poured a large amount of Chakra into Tobirama Senju’s body. Bringing one person and a Giant Tenseigan back to Earth from the moon could not be done with the Chakra of an Edo Tensei Body alone, so Hyuga Mirai had to ensure Tobirama Senju possessed enough Chakra to transfer them all back together.

A research base for the Tenseigan had already been built in Rōran, and a Flying Thunder God user had been stationed there in advance, so returning would take only an instant.

After returning to Rōran, Hyuga Mirai first used Sealing Technique to secure the Giant Tenseigan and prevent its ocular power from leaking out. Then, he prepared to study how to absorb the Tenseigan’s ocular power.

"Although I can feel the resonance of its ocular power, absorbing it…"

Hyuga Mirai frowned slightly and tried several crude methods, including touch and Chakra absorption, but none had any effect on the ocular power inside the Giant Tenseigan.

"Is its form of existence similar to that of a Tailed Beast? Somewhere between matter and energy, able to transform between the two…"

Hyuga Mirai pondered. If that was the case, then he could not absorb its ocular power through ordinary methods. Transplanting the eye was not realistic either. It was such an enormous eyeball that even if he grew ten times larger, he could not possibly replace his eyes with it.

Yin-Yang Release.

He could only use this special method to absorb its ocular power. Based on his current test results, the Giant Tenseigan would not harm him.

Not only did Hyuga Mirai possess a physique close to that of the Otsutsuki Clan, he could also briefly activate Tenseigan Chakra Mode. Since their powers shared the same origin, even using Yin-Yang Release to absorb the ocular power would not cause an energy rampage.

Still, he needed to test it carefully. Otherwise, if the Giant Tenseigan went berserk, all of Rōran would be destroyed.

"Sir? Sir?"

"What is it, Android 18?"

Hyuga Mirai snapped out of his research and looked at Android 18’s projected image.

"The Yasunori Trading Company has received a trade request. Although it is merely an ordinary application to purchase iron ore, if it is from them, I believe you may be interested, sir."

A trace of curiosity appeared on Hyuga Mirai’s face. He then asked, "Is there anything special about their identity? Also, Android 18, I remember telling you to come find me, but it seems you’ve taken advantage of my forgetfulness from research to ignore my order."

"That is not the case, sir. You simply did not assign it a priority."

"It seems you’ve really grown, Android 18. You must come over next month, within thirty days." Hyuga Mirai waved his hand, then continued, "So who exactly is trading with the Yasunori Trading Company?"

"They are Ninja Cats, allies of Konoha’s Uchiha Clan. They contacted the Yasunori Trading Company through special channels and hope to purchase thirty percent of its metal ore reserves."

"The Uchiha Clan’s Ninja Cats? Then buying so much metal ore makes sense."

Hyuga Mirai nodded as he spoke. As far as he knew, the Ninja Cat Clan had always supplied the Uchiha Clan with weapons and intelligence sources. Not only the Uchiha Clan, even the Hyūga Clan had its own intelligence sources and weapon channels. In these two areas, Ninja Clans had never relied on their villages.

If the village supplied weapons and intelligence, the Ninja Clan accepted them. If the village did not, they were not lacking either. Only those with such foundations could be called Ninja Clans.

The Yasunori Trading Company had nearly monopolized all mineral veins in the desert region of the Land of Wind. Other than what it used itself, it only sold some externally when its stockpiles grew too large to store.

"You can agree to their request, Android 18. However, I want to meet someone from the Uchiha Clan, preferably Clan Head Fugaku. How much ore we sell them will depend on how well the Ninja Cat Clan handles matters."

"I understand, sir."

"Remember, one month from now."

"…"

Android 18 ended the communication without replying, leaving Hyuga Mirai with no choice but to shake his head.

The Uchiha Clan had served as the Police Force for decades and possessed exceptionally extensive experience in protection. Besides, they were a Kekkei Genkai descended from the God Tree. It would be far too regrettable if they went extinct.

Therefore, Hyuga Mirai planned to establish contact with the Uchiha Clan in advance. However, if they were unwilling, he would not force them. Everything would depend on the Uchiha Clan’s own choice.

Second update.

Sorry for being late. Tomorrow, burst mode begins. Though it will only be four updates totaling 12,000 words, it still counts as a small burst.
