The Eye of Heaven!
It was hard to imagine that something so beautiful could be an incredibly destructive weapon.
Makoto floated high in the air, with the newly fused purple Tenseigan hovering beside him.
He soared until he reached an uninhabited mountain range.
Locking his gaze onto a mountain peak, he activated the seals on the Tenseigan.
In an instant, the area around the Tenseigan exploded with purple light, like a radiant violet sun.
The boundless energy condensed into a beam of light so concentrated it turned stark white.
Boom!
The distant mountain peak was instantly reduced to dust, completely obliterated from existence without leaving a single trace.
Makoto looked up at the sky.
Even the clouds had been split apart, as if the heavens themselves had been cleaved open.
Witnessing this scene, Makoto couldn't help but laugh heartily.
In the current ninja world, there was likely no one who could withstand a single strike from the Tenseigan.
After testing the power of the Tenseigan, Makoto returned to the village, bringing it back to its temporary storage place.
Then he issued an order, summoning craftsmen and workers to swiftly build a tall tower above the Hokage Rock to house the Tenseigan.
Makoto wanted its light to cover all of Konoha.
The Hokage Rock had remained vacant until now.
During previous meetings, many had suggested rebuilding the rock and removing the statue of the Fourth Hokage, a traitor.
Even constructing a statue of only the Fifth Hokage would be acceptable.
However, Makoto had no such intention and directly rejected the proposal.
Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, only Konoha had such a monument.
It was said to symbolize the spirits of the previous Hokage continuing to protect the village, guiding future generations with their will.
Could a few stone statues protect the village?
The true safeguard of the village was this ultimate weapon, capable of effortlessly blasting an entire mountain to dust with a single shot!
It would instill fear in those who harbored ill intentions toward Konoha far better than any statues people could trample on.
After issuing the order, the ninja responsible for execution couldn't fully comprehend it.
The chakra surge from the Tenseigan's successful fusion earlier had been sensed by many people in the village.
After Makoto left with the Tenseigan, curious villagers came to investigate what had happened, only to be turned away by the Anbu, who explained that the Hokage was conducting a ninjutsu experiment.
Upon returning home, Makoto was still brimming with excitement.
Holding Ayari's hand, he exclaimed that he had just completed something remarkable, something capable of reshaping the entire ninja world and elevating Konoha's status.
Seeing his excited demeanor, Ayari chuckled and asked, "What kind of thing?"
"An ultimate weapon comparable to a Tailed Beast, but far easier to control!"
Ayari laughed. "Ultimate weapon? What a strange name!"
Makoto paused and calmed down a bit. "...You're right, it does sound odd. It needs a better name."
He led Ayari to the courtyard, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Hokage Rock, where a tall tower would soon rise.
"Let's call it... The Tower of Solarity."
"A tower?" Ayari asked curiously.
Makoto smiled. "Its light will shine over all of Konoha, and in the future, it will illuminate the entire world!"
Ayari was bewildered, only partially understanding.
All she knew was that Makoto seemed determined to achieve something extraordinary.
The completion of the Tenseigan kept Makoto in a great mood for several days.
He personally supervised the construction of the Tower of Solarity, offering numerous suggestions.
Afterward, he summoned the members of the Barrier Team — the group responsible for maintaining the village's protective barriers.
The team leader was a member of the Hyuga clan named Hyuga Shimizu.
The role change between the Sarutobi and Hyuga clans back then had included this crucial Barrier Team position.
Bringing them before the radiant purple Tenseigan, Makoto briefly introduced its capabilities.
Everyone was stunned speechless by the sight of the beautiful, purple orb resembling a miniature sun.
Makoto carefully explained to Shimizu the methods for activating the defensive and sensory barriers.
Watching his clansman listen attentively, Makoto suddenly pondered: With the Tenseigan in existence, would the position of Hokage ever go to anyone outside the Hyuga clan in the future?
He couldn't help but wonder how the other clans in the village would react upon seeing it.
After a brief moment of thought, Makoto decided to temporarily conceal the fact that the Tenseigan was created by fusing Byakugan.
Revealing that information might provoke resistance.
Power can force submission, but it doesn't win hearts.
Where there is oppression, conflict will inevitably arise.
The Tenseigan belonged to Konoha, not just the Hyuga clan — this distinction was crucial.
The construction of the Tower of Solarity progressed smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
The next joint Chunin Exams were approaching — a major event that showcased each village's strength and brought in lucrative commissions.
The entire village was bustling with preparations for the exams.
Typically, only two villages hosted the joint Chunin Exams: Konoha and Sunagakure.
Due to geographical reasons, Konoha hosted more frequently.
When Konoha hosted, it attracted more participants from smaller villages.
On the other hand, when Sunagakure hosted, aside from affiliated nations, few participants attended.
The main audience, including wealthy merchants, prestigious families, and royal nobles, rarely wanted to travel to a barren desert.
Over time, Sunagakure became aware of its inherent disadvantages and stopped competing with Konoha for hosting rights.
After all, participating in Konoha yielded higher benefits than hosting themselves, and it saved them trouble.
Konoha would only occasionally yield the hosting rights to them during special circumstances.
Among the Five Great Nations, only the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire had an alliance, with Sunagakure and Konoha being partners.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure remained independent, which made Konoha the only village capable of hosting the joint exams.
For this year's Chunin Exams, Amegakure showed strong interest in participating.
They proposed holding the initial written exam in the Land of Rain, which Makoto approved.
Additionally, a travel route between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain began construction.
After the written test, the advancing candidates would travel from Amegakure to Konoha within a specified time.
This journey was essentially a long marathon, filled with countless traps and patrolled by Chunin stationed along the route.
Rest points were also set up along the way for candidates who didn't mind losing time.
The project was significant, with all expenses borne by Amegakure.
Yahiko's idea was, in some ways, pure genius, as it promised significant benefits for Amegakure — assuming Konoha and Amegakure were truly close allies.
Many people had such optimistic thoughts, which Makoto found far too naive.
While the village was busy with Chunin Exam preparations, an unexpected message suddenly reached Makoto from Konoha Hospital.
Mikoto had gone for a check-up today, and the results revealed that she was pregnant.
