The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Once the seal begins, even Isshiki Otsutsuki cannot reverse Hyuga Zetsu's transformation into the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. The only solution is to kill Hyuga Zetsu and regain control of the Ten-Tails.

Ding!

To Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's utter disbelief, his usually invincible attack with the metal spikes had failed completely.

Instantly, a layer of bone membrane emitting a faint metallic luster formed on Hinata Zechen's body, blocking all the long thorns from his skin.

These seemingly sudden appearances of long metal spikes are actually the Black Eye Techniques of Otsutsuki Isshiki, namely the Shona Hikona and the Daikokuten. The two complement each other, making them impossible for the enemy to defend against.

Sukina Bikona's ability is to make anything extremely small and place it in the time-frozen alternate dimension, Daikokuni. When an attack is needed, she can activate it visually, just like Amaterasu, releasing metal spikes from Daikokuni and inserting them into the enemy's body. Then, she restores the metal spikes to their original size, often severely injuring or even killing the enemy before they can react.

However, Hyuga Sawatatsu's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is the nemesis of this kind of physical attack.

Relying on the ability of the Corpse Bone Pulse, Hyuga Sawatatsu's bone membrane defense is even above that of Steel Release, making him almost immune to such purely physical attacks.

what?

The attack failed, which stunned Isshiki Otsutsuki for a moment. Before he could launch another attack, the Ten-Tails' massive body was completely swallowed by the vortex.

Not only the Ten-Tails, but also Hyuga Zechen's figure disappeared at some point, leaving only a white sphere floating in mid-air.

This means that Hyuga Sawatatsu has become one with the Ten-Tails, inseparable from it.

Surprisingly, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who lost the Ten-Tails, did not go mad. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

They were just lowly natives and had no idea what it meant to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki!

Click!

A few seconds later, the bright white sphere first emitted a crisp cracking sound, and a tiny crack appeared on the surface. Then the crack continued to expand, and the volume of the entire sphere continued to increase until it reached nearly six feet in diameter before stopping abruptly.

Bang!

As the entire white sphere exploded, countless large and small crystalline fragments flew through the air. Hyuga Zechen, who had been curled up in a ball, slowly stretched out his limbs with great ease, and his aura underwent a tremendous change.

Hinata Zechen's skin glowed with a faint green hue, like the tender leaves of a newly sprouted plant. A seal pattern composed of countless circles appeared on his back below his neck, with five slender, diamond-shaped bone spurs distributed around the seal. Below the seal were nine jet-black tomoe, arranged in three horizontal and three vertical lines, which trembled slightly with Hinata Zechen's breath.

It's so itchy!

At this moment, Hinata Zechen felt an intense itch between his eyebrows, which then began to swell. His skin suddenly cracked open, revealing a golden Rinnegan that looked around.

The first thing that catches the eye is the long, slender horns on Hinata Sawatatsu's forehead.

The two horns, which were originally only the length of two finger joints, are now the length of a palm and have become much thicker.

Is this the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?

Mei Terumi, who had been hiding on the altar, looked down and bit her red lips, drawing bright red blood, but she was completely unaware of it.

It must have been really tough on Kaguya Otsutsuki, that she came up with this method to increase her strength.

Otsutsuki Isshiki stood in mid-air not far from Hyuga Sawatatsu, observing him with great interest. He seemed to be very interested in the form of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, but did not launch an attack.

puff puff!

As Hyuga Zechen's chakra underwent further transformation, each of the five diamond-shaped bone spurs extending from his back emitted a ball of pink flame, swaying from side to side like torches.

Ok?

As if guided by divine inspiration, Hyuga Zechen almost instinctively flipped his left wrist, and jet-black Truth-Seeking Balls condensed from his palm, floating around his body.

Immediately, Hyuga Zechen's right hand suddenly closed, and a jet-black six-path staff materialized, which he held tightly in his palm and slowly raised above his head.

Possessing the Truth-Seeking Balls and the Six Paths Staff means that Hyuga Sawatatsu has surpassed the limits of a ninja, just like the Sage of Six Paths, and has become the new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Chapter 209 Clash of Otsutsuki Styles

Ding!

The Six Paths Staff in Hyuga Zechen's hand swayed slightly, and the small rings at one end, symbolizing Yang Release, collided gently, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

Like the Six Paths Sage's Six Paths Staff, Hyuga Sawatatsu's staff is also shaped like the sun and the moon at its two ends. It feels as light as a feather in his hand, but it can generate powerful energy once it touches an enemy.

"For the sake of the Otsutsuki clan bloodline in you, I'll give you a piece of advice."

Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly spoke, his gaze towards Hyuga Sawatatsu filled with mockery.

"Anyone who tries to control power that doesn't belong to them will ultimately suffer a backlash. The power of the Ten-Tails is not so easy to wield!"

As soon as Otsutsuki Isshiki finished speaking, large and small fleshy lumps suddenly swelled up on Hyuga Zetsu's body, making him incredibly bloated, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

"The Ten-Tails is the foundation of our Otsutsuki clan's continuous evolution, yet no member has ever used the method of sealing it into their body to enhance their own strength. This is because it is ultimately just an external force. Only by consuming the Chakra Fruit can one truly improve themselves!"

A massive burst of chakra suddenly erupted from beneath Otsutsuki Isshiki's feet, creating a deafening sonic boom in mid-air. He appeared before Hyuga Zetsu at near teleportation speed, his five fingers forming claws as he reached for Hyuga Zetsu's head.

Isshiki Otsutsuki had already made up his mind. After extracting the Ten-Tails again, Hyuga Sawatatsu's Otsutsuki bloodline concentration would be sufficient to serve as bait for the Ten-Tails, thus transforming it into a divine tree. Even if the resulting chakra fruit might have flaws, it wouldn't affect some of the most basic effects.

At that time, Isshiki Otsutsuki will no longer need to painstakingly search for a suitable vessel for reincarnation. Instead, he can use the power of the Chakra Fruit to complete his evolution, completely break free from the limitations of Jigen's body, and return to his former complete state.

Ok?

Hyuga Zetsu, who seemed unable to control the power of the Ten-Tails, slightly waved his hand, and the Six Paths Staff stretched forward, pointing directly at Otsutsuki Isshiki.

If Otsutsuki Isshiki does not give up his attack, then the Six Paths Staff will inevitably be the first to hit his body.

Like the Truth-Seeking Jewel, the Six Paths Staff also contains the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Once it is touched directly, it will be damaged by the high-density energy contained within, resulting in its direct annihilation.

If Otsutsuki Isshiki were in his complete form, he would naturally not fear the annihilation power of the Six Paths Staff, since the bodies of the Otsutsuki clan are not ordinary bodies and are fundamentally different from those of ordinary humans.

However, Isshiki Otsutsuki's current body is Jigen's. Although he has been modified by the Karma, Isshiki Otsutsuki dares not risk direct contact with the Rokudo Staff.

Suddenly, Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure blurred. At high speed, he slightly bent his waist, which not only increased his speed again, but also changed direction in a way that defied the laws of physics. In a flash, he appeared behind Hyuga Zetsu and kicked out with his right leg, which was accompanied by a sharp gust of wind.

what?

To Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's disbelief, the two Truth-Seeking Balls floating nearby simultaneously changed shape. One of them suddenly elongated, forming a thin black barrier behind Hyuga Sawatatsu, clearly sensing Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's reluctance to touch the Truth-Seeking Balls.

The other Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a kunai, which pierced directly down from above towards Isshiki Otsutsuki's head.

The Jade Seeking the Dao flashed by in an instant, piercing through everything in its path and leaving a smooth trail, creating a bottomless hole in the ground.

This is the Seeking the Way Jade; it has no illustrious reputation, yet it can completely annihilate any object that comes into contact with it.

"Impossible! You actually managed to completely suppress the Ten-Tails in such a short time?"

Having successfully evaded the Truth-Seeking Ball attack, Otsutsuki Isshiki hovered in mid-air, looking at Hyuga Sawatatsu, who had returned to normal, with disbelief in his voice.

Putting aside the fact that the Ten-Tails' consciousness would not willingly allow itself to be controlled by others and would inevitably struggle, making it no easy task to suppress; Hyuga Sawatatsu's power has already undergone a qualitative improvement since becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki. Logically speaking, it would take a period of time to adapt before he could control these powerful forces.

However, Hyuga Sawatatsu's use of the Six Paths Staff and Truth-Seeking Balls seemed effortless, leaving Otsutsuki Isshiki completely puzzled.

"If I don't even have this much confidence, why should I be in such a hurry to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

Hinata Zechen raised his hand and swept it across his right eye, instantly switching his azure eyes to Byakugan.

After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Hyuga Zetsu's control over his eyes was greatly enhanced. At this moment, his right eye is the Byakugan, his left eye is the Tenseigan, and with the golden Rinnegan between his eyebrows, Hyuga Zetsu can be said to have gathered three different dojutsu bloodline limits in one body.

Immediately, Hyuga Zechen slightly hooked his right index finger, and the Truth-Seeking Ball shot out from the depths of the earth, returning to his body.

"I do not believe!"

Otsutsuki Issho grabbed at the air with his right palm, and a staff as thick as an arm fell into his five fingers. After spinning twice in his palm, he leaned slightly and rushed towards Hyuga Zechen.

clang!

Faced with Isshiki Otsutsuki's blow, Hyuga Zetsu raised the Six Paths Staff in his hand high above his head. The two clashed in mid-air, and both exerted force with their arms at the same time, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's black eyes trembled slightly, and seven or eight long metal spikes were released from Daikokuten, shooting towards Ze Chen's vital points.

"It's useless. No matter how subtle your attacks become, they can't hide from me!"

The two Truth-Seeking Balls suddenly shifted horizontally, forming a barrier that appeared in front of Hyuga Sawatatsu's chest and head, completely annihilating the metal spikes in the air.

hateful!

Having failed in his sneak attack, Otsutsuki Isshiki abandoned his attempt to outmaneuver Hyuga Zetsu and unleashed a continuous barrage of attacks with his staff, creating gusts of wind as he swung it.

Hinata Sawa was equally formidable, wielding the Six Paths Staff with impeccable skill. The two exchanged blows, their fighting proving surprisingly evenly matched for a time.

The two fought erratically, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Their battle raged from the dungeon all the way up into the air, and the resulting shockwaves quickly made it impossible to find a single flat spot on the altar.

"It's unbelievable that ninjas can be this powerful. Even the battle between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha is probably far inferior to what we're seeing now."

In the ruins of a deep pit, Mei Terumi and Shirogane huddled behind a cracked rock, their eyes filled with sighs.

As the village's leader, Mei Terumi had never felt so weak; if she were caught in the aftermath of the collision, she would likely suffer severe injuries.

Even though she tried her best to open her eyes wide, she couldn't see the figures and movements of the two people in the battle clearly, and could only barely catch some afterimages.

Mei Terumi had no doubt that against such an opponent, water-style ninjutsu and dual bloodline limits would be completely useless; a single strike would be enough to kill her on the spot.

The ninja world is becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

Living in such an era, even the shadow of a village seems so insignificant.

Chapter 210 Feeding the Ten-Tails

boom!

After another fierce collision, amidst billowing dust, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki abruptly retreated, breathing heavily, clearly exhausted.

Jigen's body had become Isshiki Otsutsuki's biggest weakness. Every time they collided, he had to expend a lot of chakra to protect it and prevent the body from collapsing.

"I must admit, you have really impressed me, but victory is ultimately mine."

After a series of battles, Otsutsuki Isshiki had to admit that his proud taijutsu attacks not only failed to gain any advantage against Hyuga Sawatatsu, but instead became a whetstone for his opponent.

Under the pressure from Isshiki Otsutsuki, Hyuga Zetsu's control over his own power is improving at an extremely rapid pace. If the battle continues, the scales of victory will gradually tip in Hyuga Zetsu's favor.

"Oh, do you have a backup plan?"

Compared to Isshiki Otsutsuki, Hyuga Zechen felt an exhilarating sensation throughout his body. With each clash, he could feel the power of the Ten-Tails and the bloodline of the Otsutsuki further merging with his own, making Hyuga Zechen wish he could continue fighting Isshiki Otsutsuki.

As for where Otsutsuki Isshiki's confidence comes from, Hyuga Sawatatsu is not worried.

Perhaps Otsutsuki Isshiki still has some trump cards up his sleeve, but so does Hyuga Zetsu. He hasn't yet unlocked the Tenseigan Mode, Sage Mode, and other methods that greatly enhance taijutsu.

Even though Hyuga Zetsu has now become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and successfully broken through to the Six Paths level, the effects of these enhancements have been greatly weakened. However, Hyuga Zetsu and Otsutsuki Isshiki are roughly equal in strength, and any improvement could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Although I don't know what methods you used to suppress the Ten-Tails' rebellious will in such a short time, don't forget that I am the master of that Ten-Tails."

As he spoke, deep yellow chakra gradually gushed from Isshiki Otsutsuki's body, his ponytail stood up high, and his robes billowed out.

Hyuga Zechen's three eyes trembled slightly as he locked onto Otsutsuki Isshiki before him. Apart from noticing that the chakra aura was quite unusual, he gained nothing else.
