Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 189 Being Targeted by the Real Ancestor

"Bang!!!"

After years of silence, the lunar surface was filled with a long-awaited sound. A large bulge rose from the hard ground, and then a pair of enormous butterfly wings burst forth, overturning layers of lunar soil and stirring up clouds of dust.

"Thump!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Otsutsuki Hikari, who had just escaped the moon, threw Otsutsuki Tsukihime onto the lunar surface before she could unleash her power.

"Cough cough cough Otsutsuki Hikari, are you insane?"

Having eaten a mouthful of dust, Tsukihime Otsutsuki scrambled to her feet, dusted herself off, and her blue-green eyes were filled with annoyance.

"I'm not crazy. Only here do I have a chance to defeat you."

Controlling her butterfly wings to descend slowly, Otsutsuki Hikari's eyes were filled with determination. She stretched out her fair hands, gesturing the starting stance of an Otsutsuki fluid technique, and slowly said,

"Looks like you've really been brainwashed by that thief. I have to snap you out of it!"

Seeing her sisters turn against her because of a man, Tsukihime Otsutsuki clenched her teeth and her chakra cloak became even more solid, but the blue light in her eyes dimmed a little.

Hmph! What's so great about that despicable thief? He's just a bit handsome.

"Achoo!"

After munching on sunflower seeds for a while, Uchiha Gin, gazing at the familiar light streaming through the gap in the darkness, sneezed violently, touched his nose in confusion, and couldn't help but wonder to himself...

"I've only been away for a few days, and the fans already miss me?"

Having witnessed the internal conflict between the two Otsutsuki women, Uchiha Gin looked at the artificial moon radiating immense ocular power, a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes.

Judging from their conversation, the Tenseigan of the Otsutsuki clan should be hidden in the moon hanging high in the sky. A simple plan emerged in my mind.

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

"Looks like I can't put this off any longer, I need to finish this quickly so I can go home and continue slacking off~"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin tossed the sunflower seed shells on the ground, his narrowed black pupils instantly turning red, and three mysterious tomoe appeared within them.

As a massive amount of chakra surged in, the tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly, eventually merging together to become Uchiha Gin's Mangekyou Sharingan without tomoe.

The cold, ominous aura unique to the Uchiha clan instantly filled the entire castle.

Almost the instant Uchiha Gin activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, the dark aura that had been lurking in the shadows watching the show also stirred simultaneously.

Excited, she sensed the scent, then vanished into the void, flying towards the direction of Princess Tsukihime's castle.

"This time you won't escape my grasp. Stand still and behave yourself!"

Q: How many steps are involved in gaining control of the Tenseigan?

First: Go up to the moon.

Second: Open the moon.

Third: Take out the Tenseigan.

Fourth: Turn off the moon.

"Phew~ What a complicated process! With this kind of workload, we definitely need to get more money from my second great-uncle!"

After painstakingly organizing the plan, Uchiha Gin, feeling a great sense of relief, wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and solemnly muttered to himself, as if he had just solved some monumental problem.

"Hmm~ Everything is difficult at the beginning. How am I supposed to get to the moon?"

With his crimson kaleidoscope eyes wide open, Uchiha Gin gazed at the distant moon in the sky, scratching his head in slight distress.

"Hey! How about I use the butterfly transformation technique to fly up there too?"

Touching his chin, Gin Uchiha's first idea popped into his head, and he clapped his hands excitedly. But when he recalled the astonishingly large wings of Otsutsuki Hikari, he instantly wilted.

"No, no, that's too flashy. I need to keep a low profile."

"Piloting a Gundam?"

"No way! The complete version with wings is even more eye-catching!"

The second option also failed to materialize.

Just as Uchiha Gin was deep in thought, the light streaming through the gap in the darkness pierced through the countless floating islands, casting mottled black shadows on the empty ground.

"Tsk! How could I forget about Old Deng?"

Looking at the shadowy figures on the ground, Uchiha Gin slapped his forehead, an idea instantly forming in his mind.

Immediately, an equilateral triangle pattern appeared in his eyes, and the countless shadows before him, under his vision, exuded a welcoming aura, like the door to his home, waiting for his arrival.

Hehe~

Uchiha Gin smiled and sank into a random shadow. Just as he disappeared above the shadow, a black aura belatedly arrived.

Sensing the familiar aura, the black aura began to circle around in confusion.

"Huh? It was just here a moment ago, how come it's gone again?"

"Huh? This?"

Although Uchiha Gin was nowhere to be seen, the black aura did not give up. Following her senses, she arrived at a shadowy spot, which happened to be the entrance Uchiha Gin had used to enter the Shadow Realm.

"Why does it look a bit like my Amano Minaka?"

After the black aura touched the shadow, it wondered to itself,

"Looks like they've hidden away in another dimension, heh heh~"

Having deduced that Uchiha Gin, who carried the aura of the Feather Robe, had already escaped into another dimension, the black aura didn't hesitate any longer and plunged directly into the Shadow Realm, determined to capture this disobedient eldest son.

"Did some trash fall in?"

While floating in the Shadow Realm, Uchiha Gin suddenly felt an itch in his eyes, receiving a notification of an intrusion. Startled, he immediately unleashed his enhanced senses.

However, after scanning for a long time, he did not sense any life force. So he guessed that some rubble might have accidentally fallen in through the entrance he had just opened, so he did not investigate and turned to fly towards the moon in the Shadow Realm.

"Who is that kid? Where is Yu Yi hiding?"

The trailing black aura, relying on its ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding space and its superb concealment techniques, evaded Uchiha Gin's eyes and senses.

Looking at the black curly hair floating in mid-air, the black aura that had always been certain that the other party was his eldest son, he was stunned and his eyes were filled with great doubt. Could it be a descendant of Yu Yi?

"But the aura is right! It's exactly the same as that kid Hagoromo's. Wait, why is there also that idiot Hamura's aura?"

She tried her best to detect the scent emanating from Uchiha Gin's bloodline, and the more she probed, the more astonished she became. If she had a mouth, her jaw would probably be dislocated by now.

How come this kid's aura is exactly the same as that of the Otsutsuki clan?

The Otsutsuki clan here isn't the Otsutsuki of that silly boy Hamura, but rather the Otsutsuki clan from her hometown that possesses divine magic.

"Funny, so very fun!"

Unexpectedly, among the descendants of these two rebellious sons, there was a descendant with a bloodline that had reverted to its ancestral form. The black aura's eyes gleamed as it gazed at Uchiha Silver in the sky, as if admiring some peerless treasure.

This little guy is so interesting. If I train him to become the new Otsutsuki, then even if someone from my family comes to cause trouble again, I'll have a reliable helper.

Hey! This kid is way better than those 100,000 people in a vegetative state!

The more the black aura looked at Uchiha Gin, the more pleasing he became. He immediately decided to infiltrate his side and carefully observe the boy's character to see if he could serve as his assistant and help him defend against the relatives from his hometown.

If it works out, no matter how tall or fat, short or thin, or even a fisherman, none of them will be a match for her!

"Why do I have this feeling of being coveted?"

With the moon right before his eyes, Uchiha Gin, who was practicing the Tenseigan control technique, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and shivered.

Goosebumps rose all over his body, and a feeling of being watched welled up inside him, causing him to instinctively shrink back.

He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing unusual.

"Is it just my imagination? I do feel a little dizzy after staying in this space for a while."

Puzzled, Gin Uchiha scratched his curly hair and could only attribute his earlier illusion to the debuff from the Shadow Realm. After shifting the blame, he flew to the artificial moon.

"Hehe~ Let's just dig a hole here!"

Looking at the enormous moon before him, his sanity, already significantly depleted by the Shadow Realm, made a confused attempt to force his way through.

Fortunately, guided by his last remaining shred of reason, he spotted a conspicuous entrance, which dispelled the blue light emanating from his hand.

"Phew! What happened to me just now? Did I suddenly become a bit silly and clueless?"

Having escaped from the Shadow Realm, Uchiha Gin felt his intelligence once again prevail. His narrowed, dead-fish eyes were filled with questions, but time was of the essence. He could study the questions about the Shadow Realm later when he returned.

So, after straightening his mind, Uchiha Gin followed the visible power of his eyes and stepped into the gate of the moon.

"This space is perfect for hiding, and it also allows me to monitor this kid at any time. If we could have a physical vessel, it would be even more perfect!"

Because Uchiha Gin is the master of the Shadow Realm, this space has always existed around him. Even if he leaves the Shadow Realm, it does not affect the black aura's ability to observe his every move.

Upon entering the gate, there was a long corridor. Following the aura of his eye power, Uchiha Gin passed through this long corridor and finally stopped in front of a gate engraved with the clan crest.

"Everything went smoothly, now we're ready to move on to step three~"

Uchiha Gin reached out, feeling the weight of the door; a blue light appeared in his hand.

With the aid of his superhuman strength, he easily pushed open the stone door, which was several meters thick. As a cloud of dust dissipated, a huge, golden sphere appeared before his eyes.

"This is the true form of the Tenseigan? It doesn't seem as good as my older cousin's circle eyes~"

Although the profound power emanating from the sphere before them created visible halos that rippled through the vast space, giving it an imposing presence, the overall effect was still quite impressive.

However, Uchiha Gin, relying on his extraordinary senses, determined that this giant Tenseigan was nothing more than a weapon with immense destructive power.

The thought of returning home filled Uchiha Gin with excitement. He took a few steps forward, reaching out to touch the enormous, golden stone sphere, and also to practice the technique he had been training for two and a half years.

But before they could even touch it, they were stopped by a strange sound emanating from inside the sphere.

"Outsider, if you don't want to be reduced to ashes, don't touch the Tenseigan."

I am guilty~

The Moon arc was supposed to end today, but it was delayed again because of the appearance of the ancestor~

Blame it on our ancestors for being too captivating; we must go crazy for them from now on!
