The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki tightened his grip, firmly catching the Chakra Fruit that shot towards him. After revealing a sinister smile, he devoured the Chakra Fruit in a few swift movements.

"It actually ate its own companion?"

Faced with this unbelievable scene, even a ruthless and cunning figure like Madara Uchiha, who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, showed a look of disgust.

Chi!

Amidst the incredibly violent surge of chakra, thick white mist, so dense that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face, erupted from Momoshiki Otsutsuki's body. Even with Hyuga Zetsu's Byakugan vision, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the white mist gradually dissipated, revealing a dark shadow whose appearance had undergone a startling transformation.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's hair grew long and thick, his once flat horns became smooth, half-black and half-white horns, his Byakugan turned pale gold, and a golden Rinnegan opened between his eyebrows. His entire head and upper body were covered by black stripes, and the Rinnegan in his palm also turned gold. His aura and chakra fluctuations were completely different, making him appear extremely imposing.

“You of inferior bloodline, you’re next.”

Momoshiki Otsutsuki glanced down at himself, then slowly raised his head to look at Sawa Tatsumi Hyuga, his tone incredibly sinister.

"Those who rely on eating their companions to gain power are undoubtedly evil and have completely lost their humanity."

Hashirama Senju frowned deeply, and even with his personality, he couldn't help but speak up in rebuke.

"Humanity? The noble Otsutsuki have no need for such trivial things. Kinshiki willingly becomes my power, dedicating everything to me; this is the custom of our Otsutsuki clan!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki raised his right palm and clenched it into a fist in front of him. The golden Rinnegan between his eyebrows grew even larger, taking up almost half of his forehead.

"It seems I've gone too far with the game. Next, I will immediately finish off you fools who rebel against God, then destroy this planet and turn everything into nourishment for my power."

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's face became ferocious and distorted, the golden Rinnegan on his forehead was replaced by red again, and his hands were crossed in front of his body, with the Rinnegan in his palms also switching to bright red.

"what!"

With Momoshiki Otsutsuki's loud shout, an invisible shockwave erupted, generating an airflow no less than a storm, blowing everything and everyone nearby away and causing them to completely lose control of their bodies.

Chapter 246 It's either you die or I die.

Wind blades shot out from Momoshiki Otsutsuki's center, causing trees to fall and rocks to shatter in their wake. Even the Senju brothers, Madara Uchiha, Orochimaru, and others were blown around by the oncoming gale and were thrown back and forth.

"Those dead people, you summoned them, didn't you?"

Using the triple Rashomon summoned by the spirit, Orochimaru barely withstood the fierce wind, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a fleeting figure and heard the voice of Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

So fast!

The moment Orochimaru had this thought in his mind, he was kicked hard in the chest by Momoshiki Otsutsuki. His usually invincible flexibility was rendered useless, and he was shot out like a cannonball, crashing into a stone wall dozens of feet away, where he was buried by countless rubble.

"Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World".

Hashirama Senju's expression was extremely solemn as he unleashed his signature Wood Release ninjutsu. One after another, large trees rose from the ground, instantly creating a giant forest covering dozens of feet. Thick branches shot out from all directions towards Momoshiki Otsutsuki, not to control the enemy, but only to slow down his astonishing speed.

However, despite the thousands of branches following closely behind, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was always just a hair's breadth away from touching him. Momoshiki Otsutsuki, bursting with astonishing speed, kept turning and dodging, leaving afterimages all over the forest. In a few flashes, he rushed out of the tree boundary and arrived in front of Hashirama Senju in a flash.

"Wood Release..."

As Hashirama Senju's gaze sharpened and he clasped his hands together, about to unleash another Wood Release ninjutsu, Momoshiki Otsutsuki's hair suddenly lengthened. More than ten strands of white hair wrapped around Hashirama Senju's body and limbs like ropes, controlling his movements before the First Hokage could unleash the Wood Release ninjutsu. Then, a straight hook punch landed heavily on Hashirama Senju's abdomen, and his long, sharp fingers burst out from his back, tearing most of his body into pieces, leaving countless scraps of paper fluttering in the wind.

Without the support of Hashirama Senju's chakra, the entire Tree World withered rapidly, leaving only yellow leaves scattered on the ground.

"Big brother!"

With a look of anxiety on his face, Tobirama Senju was about to use a ninjutsu to relieve the siege of Wei when he heard a whooshing sound behind him. Momoshiki Otsutsuki's figure appeared behind him again at almost instantaneous speed.

Before he could turn around, Tobirama Senju suddenly fell backward, seemingly having foreseen Momoshiki's elbow strike aimed at the back of his head. He also spat out five high-speed, sharp water needles, which were aimed at several vital points of Momoshiki's head, neck, and heart.

However, Tobirama Senju's seemingly impossible attack was full of flaws in Momoshiki Otsutsuki's eyes. With a slight spread of his five fingers, the five sharp water needles crumbled into dust under the invisible force. His five fingers then hooked and pulled, ripping Tobirama open and cutting him into pieces.

"No wonder the Otsutsuki clan scoffed at the arduous training methods of ninjas. With just one chakra fruit, Momoshiki Otsutsuki's strength increased by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that no ninja could ever achieve in their entire lives."

After witnessing Momoshiki Otsutsuki defeat three people in succession with overwhelming power, Hinata Zechen's expression turned solemn, astonished by Momoshiki's strength after his transformation.

Hinata Zetsu's Tenseigan flashed, and chakra resembling pale green flames rose from his body as he entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

not enough!

Thanks to the abundant natural energy within Mount Myōboku, Hyuga Zetsu opened his mouth and inhaled deeply, causing a continuous flow of natural energy. Not only did deep eye shadows appear in his eyes, but the golden Rinnegan between his brows was also enveloped by a full moon. A sharp horn grew from the top of his head, and translucent snakes made of Sage Chakra twisted up and down, looking as if they were about to devour someone.

After becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, this was the first time Hyuga Zetsu had activated the Tenseigan Sage Mode. He immediately discovered that compared to before, even with the combination of the two modes, the improvement in strength was negligible.

"It seems you're ready to face death."

Sensing the unique chakra fluctuations emanating from Hyuga Zetsu, Momoshiki Otsutsuki ignored the defeated enemy and flashed to Hyuga Zetsu's side.

Two immense chakra pressures began to intertwine and collide, causing a thunderous roar to erupt between the two. The earth itself shattered under the weight of the impact, cracking open with deep, bottomless fissures.

What happened?

Amidst the deafening roar, Jiraiya regained consciousness and groggily sat up from the ground, immediately shocked by the sight before him.

High in the sky, two figures, one green and one white, were clashing fiercely. The aftershocks from each punch and kick created gusts of wind, and the speed was so fast that even Jiraiya could not keep up. After watching for only a few seconds, he felt slightly dizzy.

"What exactly is going on?"

Jiraiya shook his head, leaped up from the ground, sensed his surroundings, and then flashed to a ruin, pulling out the heavily injured Orochimaru.

"Hehe, no wonder Ze Chenjun said that we should not limit our vision to this corner of the ninja world, but look to the vast starry sky and the sea."

Orochimaru leaned against a piece of rubble, seemingly weak and listless, yet his spirits were unusually high. He looked up at the fierce collision in the sky, unwilling to miss a single moment.

boom!

With another deafening roar echoing across Mount Myōboku, Hyuga Sawatatsu and Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki each retreated, standing facing each other high in the sky.

In terms of physical combat alone, the two are evenly matched. Even if they occasionally hit each other's bodies, the injuries are basically healed instantly, so there is no point in continuing to clash.

"Hand over Kaguya's Ten-Tails, and I may spare this planet."

Momoshiki Otsutsuki stared intently at Hyuga Zetsu. Although he wished he could tear the other man to pieces, he had to admit that this inferior bloodline, through the Jinchuriki mode, already possessed a powerful strength that even he could not overcome.

While the chakra transformed by Kinshiki Otsutsuki could greatly increase Momoshiki's strength, this power was not permanent; it diminished with each use. Otherwise, the Otsutsuki clan wouldn't need to plant the Divine Tree; they could simply devour their own kind to ascend to godhood.

Therefore, even though he was extremely unwilling, Momoshiki Otsutsuki still wanted to take advantage of the situation before the other party realized his true intentions and get his hands on the Ten-Tails first.

As for Hyuga Zechen, as long as he reports the situation here to the elders of his clan, they will naturally send strong support to completely destroy this planet.

"Momoshiki, stop bluffing. Don't forget, I also have Byakugan."

With the help of his Byakugan's ability to see through things, Hyuga Sawatatsu was naturally very clear about Momoshiki Otsutsuki's condition, so how could he possibly let the tiger return to the mountain?

Today, it's either you or me who dies.

Chapter 247 Seizing the Elixir

"You don't know what's good for you!"

Upon realizing that Hyuga Zetsu had seen through his true nature, Otsutsuki Momoshiki's expression became incredibly ferocious, and all pretense of emotion vanished.

"I didn't expect they'd even have to bring out this last bit of pill. With it, I can do whatever I want!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki opened his palm, and with a flash of golden Rinnegan light, four red pills the size of fingers appeared.

"He even had some medicinal pills hidden away..."

Standing on a rocky outcrop, Hashirama Senju clenched his fists, his words filled with worry.

Taking advantage of the lull in the battle between Hyuga Zetsu and Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Jiraiya successfully rescued Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato from their black rod control. The Senju brothers have also recovered and are now gathered together to watch the battle.

"Brother, let's not just stand by and watch, let's join forces."

Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth, intending to rely on the immortality of his Edo Tensei form to see if he could create an opportunity for Hyuga Sawatatsu.

"Ha ha……"

Before Hashirama Senju could speak, Madara Uchiha burst into laughter, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Still clinging to illusions? What ninja god, what legendary ninja? We're completely out of touch with the times. In battles of that level, even if we risk our lives, there's no room for us to intervene. On the contrary, we might have our chakra absorbed by that Otsutsuki due to external interference, becoming a burden to our side."

Tobirama Senju, who usually argued with Madara Uchiha about everything, fell silent this time and had to admit that Madara's words made sense.

Judging from Momoshiki Otsutsuki taking out his last pill, it's clear he intends to decide the outcome with his next move. Otherwise, if the fight drags on, the amplification effect of the Chakra Fruit will wear off, and Momoshiki will certainly be no match for Hyuga Zetsu.

Hinata Sawatatsu, you have to win!

Just as Momoshiki was about to put the pill into his mouth, a flash of golden light appeared on Hyuga Sawa's forehead, immediately stopping Momoshiki's swallowing motion.

Rinnegan Eye Technique: Time Freeze!

According to Hyuga Zechen's original plan, the natural course of action was to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of the opportunity created by the time freeze to severely injure or even kill Otsutsuki Momoshiki, thus preventing him from taking the elixir.

However, after successfully casting the Time Freeze spell, Hyuga Zechen immediately discovered that the chakra required to maintain the eye technique was extremely high. Even the chakra of the Ten-Tails within him would probably be completely drained in a very short time.

Yes, even the same ninjutsu can produce drastically different effects when used on two opponents of vastly different strengths. Not to mention that Hyuga Zechen's target at this moment is Momoshiki Otsutsuki, whose strength is no less than his own.

Most importantly, thanks to the powerful insight granted by his Byakugan, Hyuga Zetsu could see very clearly that although Momoshiki Otsutsuki's body was unable to make any movements, his golden Byakugan was trembling slightly, indicating that he had not lost consciousness and could still see Hyuga Zetsu's actions during the time stop.

The ability to freeze time is a power inherited from the Otsutsuki clan, and the opponent may have a way to break it.

It seems that taking advantage of the situation to eliminate the opponent is almost impossible; we can only settle for second best.

In the area where time was frozen, Hinata Zetsu walked forward unhurriedly, heading step by step toward Otsutsuki Momoshiki's position.

It wasn't that Hyuga Zechen was putting on an act; maintaining the time-freeze zone was already pushing him to his limits. If he were to use a more intense technique like Body Flicker Technique to quickly approach his opponent, it would directly disrupt the balance of this area and allow Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki to break free from the control of the time freeze.

As the distance closed, Hyuga Zechen could clearly see that the fear in Otsutsuki Momoshiki's eyes intensified, and his eyes twitched incessantly, clearly as he was desperately trying to break free from the time freeze.

Fortunately, the power of space and time is a supreme existence that transcends ordinary attributes. Even a dojutsu like that of Takao-san, which can absorb all ninjutsu and chakra, is powerless against freezing time. Otherwise, Hyuga Sawa would not have been able to freeze time so easily.

We're finally almost there.

After carefully traversing the long distance of over ten zhang, Hyuga Zechen slowly raised his arm and reached for the pill in Otsutsuki Momoshiki's palm.

I don't think about it!

As Momoshiki Otsutsuki watched helplessly as Hyuga Zetsu extended his palm, the rage in his eyes was almost tangible. Blood tears flowed from the three eyes on his head at the same time, and his immobile body began to tremble wildly. He struggled to move his arm little by little, trying to avoid Hyuga Zetsu's palm.

Are you willing to instantly deplete a large amount of Byakugan and Rinnegan power just to regain control of your body?

Hinata Zetsu's Tenseigan flashed with azure light, and a twisting spatial fluctuation erupted, drawing the four pills on Otsutsuki Momoshiki's palm and sending them shooting towards Hinata Zetsu's location.

Just as the pills were about to fly out of Momoshiki's palm, the golden Rinnegan in his palm emitted a faint light, and the two pills disappeared into thin air, obviously put away by Momoshiki.

The six eyes met, and a crisp popping sound echoed in the air. The two simultaneously withdrew and retreated, creating a safe distance again.

"Is this the pill that the Otsutsuki clan uses to absorb the opponent's chakra and transform it, thanks to their unique ability to refine pills using the technique of Sabi?"

From Isshiki's fragmented memories, Hyuga Sawatatsu learned about the ability of sacrificial alchemy. However, Isshiki did not have the Rinnegan, so he did not master sacrificial alchemy, leaving Hyuga Sawatatsu with little knowledge of this ability.
