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

Chapter 190 Unexpected Incident: The Reincarnation Eye is Stolen

"I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!"

Uchiha Gin completely ignored the inexplicable noise around him and pressed his large hand directly towards the golden Tenseigan.

Seeing that its words had no effect, the voice immediately revealed its true form, blocking the Tenseigan's path.

"No way! Are you out of your mind?"

"Auntie, who are you?"

Seeing the white-haired old woman blocking his way, Uchiha Gin awkwardly withdrew his groping hand, rolled his red, lifeless eyes, and asked impatiently,

"Young man, you're not from around here, are you?"

The white-haired old woman, appearing in spirit form, looked up and examined Uchiha Gin's handsome face. A hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and her tone softened, becoming less harsh.

"Can't you see for yourself?"

Uchiha Gin pointed to his scarlet eyes. The aura emanating from the bewitching patterns within them made the elderly woman, a spiritual being, feel somewhat uncomfortable. Her aged brows furrowed, as if she were trying hard to recall something.

"Alright, alright, get out of my way. I have important business to attend to."

Seeing the old woman lost in thought, Uchiha Gin ignored her and reached out again, trying to connect with the golden Tenseigan and activate the technique taught by Otsutsuki Hamura.

"don't want!"

The white-haired old woman hadn't expected Uchiha Gin to be so brave, taking advantage of her distraction to directly access the Tenseigan. The consequences of that were extremely dire. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cry out.

Unfazed, Uchiha Gin ignored the old woman's obstruction and slapped his large hand directly onto the golden Tenseigan.

The moment he touched it, he found that this thing wasn't as hot as he had imagined; in fact, it felt cool to the touch.

"I don't want anything, that's fine, I can... eeeeeeeeeeeeee~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to channel his chakra, the sphere suddenly emitted an extremely strong suction force, pulling his hand tightly onto the Tenseigan. His chakra was unleashed like a flood, devoured by this powerful suction.

"Sigh~ I told you not to touch it, now look what happened!"

Even kind words can't persuade a death wish. The white-haired old woman looked at Uchiha Gin, who was being sucked into the Tenseigan, and sighed deeply, her white eyes filled with regret.

"It's such a pity that such a beautiful face could have produced such outstanding offspring if she had married Tsukihime."

"Stop sighing and explain what's going on!"

With one hand firmly glued to the Tenseigan, Uchiha Gin, his crimson eyes wide open, felt his chakra draining away at a rate of 0.1 calories per second.

Although it wasn't a serious problem, the chakra within his body was constantly surging wildly, making it impossible for Professor Otsutsuki Hamura to perform his techniques.

"Sigh~ What a pity, what a pity? How come you can still talk? Shouldn't you have been drained of your marrow by the Tenseigan?"

The white-haired old woman was pounding her chest and stamping her feet when she suddenly heard Uchiha Gin's powerful voice. She immediately turned around in astonishment, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"Don't ask, the answer is simply that you are exceptionally gifted."

Seeing the stunned old woman, Uchiha Gin touched his chin with his only remaining hand, then gave a youthful thumbs-up.

"Hoo~ Even if you have far more chakra than an ordinary person, you still can't escape the fate of being drained dry."

The old woman was filled with regret, realizing that this outsider's physique was far too strong. She wished she hadn't been so stubborn and acted as a riddle-maker; she should have stopped Uchiha Gin before he even touched the reincarnation.

"Alright, alright, if you don't tell me, I'll be drained of energy by this thing in a few years~"

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes and urged helplessly.

"Only those with chakra from the Otsutsuki clan can access the Tenseigan; anyone else who does will only be drained dry."

The old woman shook her head, indicating that there was no hope and she should just wait to die.

"Hey, you should have said so earlier!"

After hearing the old woman's explanation, Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost resorted to violence to solve the problem.

Then another pattern that had appeared in his eyes dissipated, and his red eyes returned to their usual black.

"Finally couldn't hold on any longer, huh?"

Sensing the dissipation of the cold power in Uchiha Gin's eyes, the white-haired old woman sighed inwardly. That red eye technique must have originated from the earth, but unfortunately, it couldn't resonate with the Tenseigan.

"I finally found someone I liked, but life is unpredictable... Huh?"

The white-haired old woman, unwilling to witness Uchiha Gin's tragic state any longer, turned away, preparing to return to her Tenseigan and await the arrival of the next destined one. But the instant she turned, a familiar aura suddenly appeared.

Sensing the Byakugan power surging behind her, the bewildered old woman immediately turned around. Her dark Byakugan eyes were fixed on Uchiha Gin, whose aura had shifted. Her withered teeth trembled slightly, and after a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Just what kind of precious thing are you?"

"Me? Just an ordinary Uchiha who's passing by~"

With a bluish-green undertone flashing in his white eyes, Uchiha Gin switched to Byakugan mode, and his chakra instantly turned pale purple.

The Tenseigan, who was happily slurping down the lollipop, suddenly frowned. He realized that the delicious lollipop he had been sucking on for so long had turned into a familiar taste. After hesitating for a moment, he spat out Uchiha Gin's hand.

"Okay, stand still, good boy/girl~"

He clapped his hands, and a purple light appeared on Uchiha Gin's palms. Several mysterious incantations unfolded in his hands.

To the astonishment of the white-haired old woman, the incantations seemed to come alive, flowing directly into the golden Tenseigan with the movement of her hand, then instantly disappearing into it without causing the slightest ripple.

The surface of the moon.

"Give up, Sister Biluo."

Tsukihime Otsutsuki, her entire body shrouded in a blue-green chakra cloak, had eyes filled with reluctance in her reincarnation.

Before her stood Otsutsuki Hikari, covered in blood, kneeling on the greyish-white ground, clutching his dislocated shoulder, his white eyes showing no sign of retreat.

"I haven't lost yet!"

Otsutsuki Hikari gritted his teeth and dragged his heavy body to his feet once more.

With a snap, she put her dislocated arm back in place. The mysterious energy within her body had not yet dissipated, and the continuous flow of life essence sustained her in the fight.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Seeing that she couldn't reason with her no matter what she did, Tsukihime Otsutsuki couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

With a look of disappointment and frustration, and as several chakra beads slowly appeared in her palm, she decided to stop holding back.

"Phew~ I could fight you all day long!"

Nourished by the essence of life, Otsutsuki Hikari's injuries were healed once again. Fluttering the butterfly wings on her back, she soared into the air towards Otsutsuki Tsukihime.

"Bang!!!"

With a single wave of her hand, Tsukihime Otsutsuki caused her chakra rosary to spin rapidly in her palm, creating a silver halo. A violent tornado then shot out from within that halo.

"Yinlun Tao is born and explodes!"

Caught off guard by the incredibly powerful storm, Otsutsuki Hikari, who was flying towards him, was directly hit by the attack.

Her butterfly wings could no longer flutter, and she swayed precariously in the air like a fallen angel. Her body was torn open by the wind blades, leaving tiny wounds that gushed blood, painting a poignant picture in the sky.

"Divine Sky Strike!"

The Ōtsutsuki Hikari, who was being blown about by the wind, did not sit idly by and wait for her death. Several huge fists appeared on the butterfly wings behind her and smashed towards Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime.

"In vain."

Facing the menacing fist, Tsukihime Otsutsuki didn't even raise an eyelid. She raised her hand, preparing to use her chakra prayer beads to completely obliterate Otsutsuki Hikari's fist.

"Snapped!"

As the chakra rosary met the giant fist, the scene that Tsukihime Otsutsuki had imagined—the fist shattering—did not occur. Instead, her chakra rosary suddenly vanished.

In a state of profound horror, Shen Kongji's massive fist slammed into her without any resistance. With a crisp sound, her prized chakra cloak shattered instantly.

She herself was caught off guard and sent flying hundreds of meters away.

"Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh, I hit it?"

Unexpectedly, his desperate attack sent Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime flying over a hundred meters away. Ōtsutsuki Hyouka, barely managing to regain her footing in mid-air, was panting heavily, looking utterly incredulous.

"Cough cough cough, what's going on? Did something happen to the Tenseigan?"

Emerging from the deep lunar soil, the dust-covered Tsukihime Ōtsutsuki, her eyes now restored to their former pure white, let out a gasp, drawing the attention of Ōtsutsuki Hikari.

"What happened?"

The two were not engaged in a life-or-death battle. Seeing that something was amiss with Tsukihime Otsutsuki, Hikari Otsutsuki slowly landed beside her, frowning as he inquired...

"My connection with the Tenseigan has been severed!"

After several more attempts at resonance, Tsukihime Otsutsuki's expression turned extremely grim; this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

However, according to the ancient records of the branch family, if the Tenseigan fails to resonate, there is most likely only one possibility.

"My Tenseigan has been stolen!"

Inside the artificial moon, the Tenseigan, which had been shining brightly just moments before, now contained all its overflowing energy into a perfectly round stone sphere. Gone was its domineering aura; it was like a naughty child being caught by its parents, behaving very obediently.

"What did you do?"

Faced with the unusual state of the Tenseigan, the white-haired old woman grabbed the sleeve of the culprit and asked anxiously,

"What else can we do to make it stop?"

Uchiha Gin was stunned by this question. This thing was like a time bomb. What if the Otsutsuki on the moon suddenly lost his mind and used the Tenseigan to push the moon back home to visit his family? How could he possibly slack off then?

"Why was the connection between the Tenseigan and Tsukihime severed?"

The white-haired old woman remained relentless, clinging to Uchiha Gin, the culprit, and refusing to let go.

"Well, I'm just an employee, I don't really know much about these things. How about I have my boss explain it to you?"

Having said that, Gin Uchiha scratched his curly hair, closed his eyes, and prepared to have a conversation with Hamura Otsutsuki, who had been watching the whole thing unfold.

"Second Great-Uncle? I'm here to hand in my mission! Huh? Why isn't he home?"
