On the Moon.
The lunar surface was in complete disarray, scattered with countless giant wooden blocks and deep trenches stretching dozens of meters.
Ōtsutsuki Jinin, looking at the continuously advancing wood dragons, swung his light sword with a deep frown.
Continuing to maintain the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion like this, his Tenseigan Chakra Mode wouldn't last much longer.
However, the person opposite him had a type of spatial movement ability that made it impossible for Jinin to catch him.
Moreover, it seemed that the opponent was determined to drag this out.
"If this continues, it could be dangerous..."
Seeing Shishou reappear in the distance after being swept by his golden light sword, Ōtsutsuki Jinin's expression grew increasingly grim.
Then, Ōtsutsuki Jinin flew into the air, hovering above Shishou.
Summoning Technique!
Bang!
White smoke dispersed, and a gigantic statue resembling Ōtsutsuki Hamura appeared in mid-air above Shishou, crashing straight down toward his position.
Seeing the massive statue crashing down vertically, Shishou, with an expressionless face, disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in another location.
Swoosh!
Just as Shishou materialized in the distance, the golden light sword from Ōtsutsuki Jinin's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion instantly swept over, cutting him in half, clearly anticipating his arrival.
"Hahaha, did you think I hadn't figured out your teleportation technique?"
"The marks you leave behind are completely visible to my eyes."
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Shishou split in half, Ōtsutsuki Jinin laughed heartily.
However, Shishou just glanced at him, then with a 'bang,' turned into white smoke.
"A clone?"
Ōtsutsuki Jinin's laughter abruptly stopped, his face filled with astonishment and shock.
"You used such large-scale, powerful ninjutsu, and it was just a clone?"
"It seems your Tenseigan Chakra Mode won't last much longer."
"Surrender. If your Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon submits to me, I won't trouble you further."
Shishou's figure appeared in another location, looking at Ōtsutsuki Jinin and speaking calmly.
With the Tenseigan Chakra Mode activated, Ōtsutsuki Jinin had reached the Six Paths level and possessed the Truth-Seeking Orbs, making the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion unstoppable.
Therefore, right after the battle started, Shishou left his original place, leaving only a shadow clone to wear down the opponent.
After absorbing the chakra of several Tailed Beasts, Shishou's total chakra had surpassed 4,000 units, making it easy for him to split into clones with 1,000 units each to exhaust Ōtsutsuki Jinin.
And as long as the Moon's Ōtsutsuki clan was willing to submit, Shishou had no intention of annihilating them completely.
After all, he needed the cooperation of the Moon's Ōtsutsuki for experiments to help Hyūga Rinmei awaken her Tenseigan in the future.
"Submit?"
"You're dreaming!"
Ōtsutsuki Jinin, with a ferocious expression, conjured another Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion light sword in his left hand.
He wanted to show this disrespectful descendant of the Sage of Six Paths the power of Hamura's lineage!
"Father, I'll help you!"
In the distance, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, radiating blue light, quickly flew to Ōtsutsuki Jinin's side, staring coldly at Shishou.
"Toneri, you..."
Ōtsutsuki Jinin was shocked to see Toneri like this.
Although their Ōtsutsuki clan could borrow the power of the giant Tenseigan in Hamura's temple, it would drain their life force. The more they used it, the weaker their bodies became, and the sooner they died.
Ōtsutsuki Jinin's current frail state was due to his excessive use of the Tenseigan's power in his youth, leading to his body being severely depleted and his impending death.
This was also why the current generation of the Moon's Ōtsutsuki clan had only Toneri.
Toneri's bloodline power had not fully awakened, and he could not control the power of the giant Tenseigan, risking having all his life force drained.
This was one of the reasons why Jinin wanted Toneri to go to the ninja world to find the special Byakugan of the Hyūga clan to awaken his own Tenseigan.
Only by possessing his own Tenseigan could the Ōtsutsuki clan fully utilize the true power of the giant Tenseigan.
As for failing in the ninja world, that was just an excuse Jinin gave to Toneri.
"Father, in the face of a great enemy, there's no time to worry about that."
"I'll clear out the marks he's left."
Ōtsutsuki Toneri spoke calmly, raising his hand toward Shishou. The Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared, and he used the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to plow through the areas where Shishou had left his flying thunder god marks, creating deep trenches.
"In that case, let's defeat the enemy together!"
Seeing Toneri like this, Ōtsutsuki Jinin said no more and directly charged towards Shishou.
Watching the father and son, Shishou frowned.
If possible, he didn't want to harm Toneri, but he couldn't afford to miss out on the Tenseigan.
"In that case, don't blame me."
Shishou pressed his hand to the ground.
Summoning Technique!
Bang!
White smoke dispersed, and the gigantic body of the Great Slug Sage appeared on the Moon, as vast as a mountain range.
Seeing the colossal summoned beast, both Ōtsutsuki Jinin and Ōtsutsuki Toneri were stunned, their faces filled with shock.
Even though they were from the Ōtsutsuki clan, it was their first time seeing such a gigantic summoned beast...
Compared to the Great Slug Sage, the statue summoned by Jinin resembling Hamura was like a tiny slug.
"No matter how big it is, it's just a paper tiger in the face of the Tenseigan!"
As if trying to bolster his own confidence, Ōtsutsuki Jinin shouted.
He swung his light sword downwards, and a massive slash from the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion bisected the newly summoned Great Slug Sage.
Seeing the Great Slug Sage cut in half, Ōtsutsuki Jinin felt a moment of joy, but then he froze again.
The slash had worked, but not completely.
The Great Slug Sage was already starting to merge back together...
"Shishou."
"Are these two little light beings the enemy?"
The Great Slug Sage, who had just appeared and was immediately cut, looked angrily at the two small light beings in front of it.
"Yes, help me take them down."
Shishou stood atop the Great Slug Sage's head, grinning.
Because the Great Slug Sage was bound to Shishou, summoning it didn't consume much of his chakra, only costing him a few hundred units.
The Great Slug Sage stared at the two small light beings, speaking slowly:
"They seem quite powerful."
