The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Ding Ding Ding!

Skeletons and meridians emerged, and the second form of Susanoo, wielding the Yata Mirror, successfully blocked Obito Uchiha's Wood Release attack.

"Itachi's body is about to give way..."

Black Zetsu let out a sigh of relief, thankful that a variable hindering the Eye of the Moon project was about to be successfully eliminated.

Just then, Black Zetsu's expression changed, and an extremely powerful chakra burst into his perception range at an incredibly fast speed.

Before Black Zetsu could remind him, Obito, who was about to continue his attack and give Uchiha Itachi no chance to catch his breath, had already spotted Hyuga Zetsu's figure.

With the help of Sage Mode, Hyuga Zetsu's perception range was no less than that of Black Zetsu, and he directly opened a spatial portal to appear next to Uchiha Itachi.

"It's so lively here..."

Hinata Zechen's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Killer Bee, who was thrown to the ground.

It must be said that Killer Bee's Octopus Leg Clone Technique has an extremely strong disguise effect; even from the perspective of the Tenseigan, it is impossible to tell whether it is his real body or not.

Whether it's true or not, it doesn't prevent Hyuga Zetsu from obtaining the final Eight-Tails' chakra, and that's enough.

"Hyuga Zetsu, it's you again!"

Upon seeing Hyuga Zetsu's appearance, Obito Uchiha's eyes were filled with anger.

Last time, if it weren't for Hyuga Zetsu's intervention, the Gedo Mazo would probably have destroyed Konoha and successfully captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"There's nothing I can do; you know best the speed of space-time ninjutsu."

Hyuga Zechen smiled faintly, spread his hands, and then turned to look at Uchiha Itachi.

"Leave the rest to me. I won't let the Akatsuki take away the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Itachi Uchiha had already reached his limit, so he did not persist. He closed and opened his eyes, returning to the three-tomoe state.

Without the support of the Mangekyou Sharingan's power, Susanoo quickly dissipated, leaving only the unsteady Itachi Uchiha swaying and barely managing to stay upright.

"Kakuzu, Kisame, you two take the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and leave first."

Facing Hyuga Zetsu, who has mastered space-time ninjutsu, it is impossible to rely on numerical superiority to launch a siege. Furthermore, Kakuzu and Kisame have just finished a major battle and are not in good condition. Therefore, Obito hopes to secure the victory and take Killer Bee away first.

"Leave? None of you will be leaving."

With each word Hyuga Zechen uttered, his aura surged, his deep eye shadow, the translucent snakes formed from chakra twisting and turning, and the green chakra surging from the Tenseigan Chakra Mode all intertwined and merged. The immense pressure even caused the surrounding rocks and fallen leaves to rise upwards, defying the laws of physics.

The Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Sage Mode are combined into one, which is called Tenseigan Sage Mode!

The last time I faced Shinja, the Tenseigan Sage Mode was just a small test. Now, facing four Akatsuki members, I can assess the full power of his abilities.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode (one of the Three Legendary Sannin)?

If asked who among those present was under the most pressure, it would naturally be Itachi Uchiha, who was closest to the group and extremely weak. The storm generated by the dissipation of chakra alone made Itachi Uchiha lose his balance and sit on the ground, leaning against a boulder.

Could the sage technique marked by a snake be the same as the Ryūchi Cave sage technique, which is as famous as the Shikkotsu Forest of Mt. Myōboku?

Itachi Uchiha strained to open his Sharingan, whose vision was already very blurry, trying his best to see more details.

However, under the gaze of the three-tomoe Sharingan, Hyuga Sawatatsu's figure suddenly disappeared, so fast that even the Sharingan could not lock onto him.

Just as Kakuzu was about to grab Killer Bee and leave, he suddenly felt a whooshing sound behind him, and the strong wind even made Kakuzu feel a chill on the back of his neck.

I knew Obito Uchiha was unreliable!

Kakuzu joined the Akatsuki organization under Pain's coercion and enticement. He was not fond of Obito Uchiha, the leader who suddenly appeared, but he did not object because Obito had already transplanted the Rinnegan.

However, as long as it doesn't affect Kakuzu's ability to continue making money, whoever becomes the leader of Akatsuki is fine.

As one of the living fossils of the ninja world, Kakuzu's reaction was incredibly fast. His body instantly turned pitch black, and a large number of black threads shot out from his back, attempting to pierce through the attacker.

As long as he can buy himself a little time to react, Kakuzu can separate the two Earth Grudge Masks on his shoulders from his body. Even if his body is destroyed, Kakuzu can still survive thanks to the properties of the Earth Grudge Technique.

The last time Kakuzu faced Jiraiya in the Land of Fire, he used this method to successfully escape from Jiraiya's clutches.

The next moment, a large amount of blood gushed from Kakuzu's mouth, and several translucent chakra snakes with horns on their heads pierced through Kakuzu's chest, their gaping mouths and sharp teeth even chewing on fragments of Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Mask.

Kakuzu's seemingly foolproof plan failed to delay the situation in the slightest.

The semi-transparent chakra snake, created solely by activating the Sage Mode of the Tenseigan, pierced through Kakuzu's defensive ninjutsu, Earth Release: Earth Spear, seemingly without any resistance. It even intelligently bit into Kakuzu's three hearts, leaving him with absolutely no hope of survival.

Feeling his life force rapidly draining away, Kakuzu's body collapsed forward, and the most vivid image from his memories inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Back then, Kakuzu accepted a top-secret mission from the higher-ups of Takigakure to assassinate the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. However, facing the Wood Release technique, Kakuzu was no match for the First Hokage. After only a few rounds, the branches generated by the Wood Release had drained all of his chakra.

To Kakuzu's utter surprise, Hashirama Senju did not kill him. He merely glanced at Kakuzu's Takigakure headband and then drifted away.

If he had died at the hands of the First Hokage back then, it wouldn't have been such a bad outcome.

Money may not betray its owner, but after death, it becomes someone else's wealth.

Kakuzu felt his eyelids become incredibly heavy, his eyes slowly closed, and finally everything went black as he completely lost consciousness.

He's gotten even stronger!

This was the first thought that simultaneously crossed Obito's and Black Zetsu's minds.

In their view, Kakuzu's reaction to Hyuga Zechen's near-teleportation attack was extremely fast, but his Earth Release: Earth Spear, which was enough to withstand the explosive tag attack without being damaged, was as fragile as paper under the attack of those chakra snakes and was pierced through almost instantly.

As a member of the Akatsuki organization, Kakuzu may not rank among the top five in strength, but because of his possession of the Earth Grudge Fear technique, he is one of the most difficult members to kill.

In just a moment, Kakuzu died under Hyuga Sawatatsu's attack, and even Obito and Black Zetsu were somewhat frightened.

"Who's next?"

Hinata Zetsu's gaze lingered on Obito and Black Zetsu, sending chills down their spines.

Chapter 196 Provocation

Without any hesitation, Black Zetsu's body transformed into white liquid and flowed to the ground, attempting to use the Mayfly Technique, which he had used to possess White Zetsu, to merge with the earth and vegetation and distance himself from the extremely oppressive enemy before him.

Faced with Hyuga Sawatatsu, who had entered the Tenseigan Sage Mode, two figures also appeared in Black Zetsu's mind.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha at their peak.

Damn it, he's clearly a descendant of Hamura, there's no way he could possess the chakra of Indra and Ashura, so how could he cultivate such powerful strength in just over ten years?

Just as most of his body had merged into the earth, Black Zetsu's vision blurred, and he was enveloped by a figure.

It wasn't a space-time ninjutsu; it was simply a burst of chakra that produced an effect almost like teleportation.

Obito Uchiha, standing nearby, did not intervene to rescue Black Zetsu. His Sharingan and Rinnegan were locked onto Hyuga Zetsu, hoping to take the opportunity to gather more information.

With the help of Kakashi's Chidori, Obito Uchiha had already taken the opportunity to remove the cursed seal that Madara had left on his heart; as long as Black Zetsu died, all the surveillance methods left by Madara Uchiha would be eliminated.

With the appearance of Hyuga Zetsu, Black Zetsu felt as if the passage of time around him had slowed down.

Black Zetsu naturally knew that this was not because Hyuga Zetsu had used any time-related ninjutsu, but because the opponent's speed was too fast, which caused a sensory illusion.

Is this Sage Mode?

No wonder that after Hagoromo learned the technique, she gained the power to rival her mother.

However, compared to Hagoromo, who was already the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki back then, you are still far from being there!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Black Zetsu felt his vision distort slightly. The earth, rocks, and even the nearby plants that covered most of his body seemed to come alive in an instant, possessing their own life and will.

Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!

One of the powerful immortal arts recorded in the Longdi Cave Immortal Arts lineage, it is a powerful immortal art that gives life to inanimate objects and controls them.

Under Hyuga Zetsu's manipulation, rocks transformed into sharp pillars that shot out and pierced the ground, plants transformed into tree-like beings that crashed down from the sky, and even the earth began to sway and twist, shaking like an earthquake. The powerful pressure generated instantly crushed Black Zetsu into a meat patty.

Ok?

Hinata Sawa, who had been in control of everything, frowned as he looked at the white liquid being pushed up from the churning earth.

At the very moment the possession of White Zetsu resulted in death, in Hyuga Zetsu's perception, Black Zetsu's aura also immediately disappeared, as if he had died along with it.

However, Hyuga Zetsu knew in his heart that as a product of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, even Naruto and Sasuke, who later obtained the power of the Sage of Six Paths and stepped into the Six Paths level, were unable to kill Black Zetsu. They could only throw it into Chibaku Tensei to seal it together, which shows that Black Zetsu most likely escaped by other means.

Well, Black Zetsu is no longer a threat to Hyuga Zetsu. Once he absorbs the chakra of the Eight-Tails Gyūki, Hyuga Zetsu can try to fuse the power of the nine tailed beasts and advance further. At that time, Black Zetsu will be even less of a concern.

Compared to Obito, Uchiha Obito is actually more troublesome.

Hyuga Zechen glanced at Kisame, who had already fled far away, but showed no intention of chasing after him. Instead, he focused his attention on Obito.

With the powerful senses of the Tenseigan Sage Mode, Hyuga Zechen was able to accurately grasp that Uchiha Obito had already completely hidden his body in the Kamui dimension, leaving Hyuga Zechen no chance to attack.

Even though Hyuga Zechen had once entered the Kamui dimension using Kakashi's Flying Thunder God kunai and left behind the Flying Thunder God mark, due to the spatial isolation, although Hyuga Zechen could still sense the existence of the Flying Thunder God mark, he could not resonate with it and could not enter the Kamui dimension through it.

"If you don't come out, I'll take the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki away."

After glancing at Obito Uchiha, Hyuga Zechen slowly walked towards Killer Bee, giving Obito ample time.

"Do you think I'd fall for such a stupid trick?"

Obito Uchiha spoke these words through gritted teeth, wishing he could attack Hyuga Zetsu, but his body remained completely obedient, showing no intention of leaving the Kamui dimension.

"Who knows? After all, you were at the bottom of the class in the Ninja Academy, and many people said you weren't very smart."

Even after Hyuga Zetsu put his arm around Killer Bee's shoulder and began to continuously extract Gyuki's chakra, Obito Uchiha just watched helplessly, completely unmoved.

If only I had held back a little, I could have given Obito a glimmer of hope for victory, instead of being so terrified as I am now.

It seems that the only way to deal with the troublesome Uchiha Obito is to rely on Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan, or to further improve one's own space-time abilities and obtain abilities similar to Kaguya Otsutsuki's Amenominaka.

Bang!

In the Tenseigan Sage Mode state, the Tenseigan's various abilities are greatly enhanced, and its chakra absorption speed is astonishingly fast. The chakra in the octopus's tentacles is quickly drained, and after bursting out a cloud of white mist, it reveals its true form, which is an octopus leg that is still shaking.

We were actually fooled? What a powerful Eight-Tails Jinchuriki! Neither the Mangekyou Sharingan nor the Rinnegan could detect the deception.

Obito Uchiha first sighed inwardly, then his eyes darted around, and he frowned as he looked at Hyuga Zechen.

With the chakra of the nine tailed beasts combined into one, and through the connection between the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo, Obito has already sensed the tailed beast chakra within Hyuga Sawatatsu's body.

Is this your true purpose, Hinata Sawatatsu?

I did this to revive the Ten-Tails and complete the Eye of the Moon Plan. So, what about you, Hinata Sawatatsu?

"Compare!"

Just then, a powerful shout rang out, and under the flashing lightning, Lei Ying Ai charged straight ahead and quickly arrived at the spot.

Where is my brother?
