Chapter 148
Chapter 148: Wrath!
Inside, there was only extreme anger.
Facing Uchiha Yuta in front of him, the chakra of Ōtsutsuki Shēten fluctuated violently. A monstrous killing intent surged out without restraint.
"Heh..."
Sensing that overwhelming killing intent, Uchiha Yuta only shook his head in disdain. "What? Enraged? Furious? Even your own son wasn't spared, and you still talk about loyalty to your ancestors? You're no better than a beast."
"Shut up!!"
Ōtsutsuki Shēten took a deep breath and roared, "Everything I've done is to fulfill the will of our ancestors! Not something you, a mere native, can comprehend!"
"Father... Is that true?"
At this moment, the boy Ōtsutsuki Shiren shook his head in a daze and muttered, "My eyes... they were taken by you? All this time... you lied to me?"
"So I'm not blind by birth... You gouged out my eyes yourself..."
Bang—
Perhaps the emotional blow was too much. Shiren's body trembled, and then he collapsed to the ground in shock.
He had never imagined...
The eyes he thought were never his to begin with had been stolen from him—by the one he revered most.
"Shiren, don't listen to him!"
Ōtsutsuki Shēten's gaze flickered as he said coldly, "I took your eyes for the sake of the Giant Reincarnation Eye. Once I implant the purest Byakugan into you, your bloodline and chakra will awaken the legendary power."
"Really...?"
Shiren choked back tears. "So it was... all for me to awaken the Reincarnation Eye? I'm sorry, Father. I misunderstood you..."
"If you understand, that's enough."
But a cold glint flashed in Ōtsutsuki Shēten's eyes as he continued, "Now go. Let me deal with the Hokage first. After that, I'll explain everything."
"Okay."
Shiren quickly got up, glared blindly in the direction of Uchiha Yuta, and spat angrily, "Put Hyuga Hinata down! She's the girl I chose!"
"Scram!"
Uchiha Yuta's expression instantly turned cold as he cast a disdainful glance at Shiren, as if he were an ant.
"You think you're worthy of speaking to me?"
BOOM!!
Before the words even finished, an irresistible surge of Conqueror's Haki-like aura erupted from Uchiha Yuta, crashing outward like a tsunami.
His terrifying pressure was overwhelming.
Crack... crack...
Within moments, visible cracks spread across the palace walls as the entire structure trembled and teetered on the brink of collapse.
As for Shiren—he didn't even have time to react.
His mind buzzed with static, and then blanked out completely.
PUFF—
With blood spurting from his mouth, Shiren collapsed like a rag doll and completely lost consciousness.
---
"T-this aura..."
Even Ōtsutsuki Shēten was stunned. His face twisted with disbelief.
Even he couldn't make the air explode like this—shake the ground or cause a palace to crack with sheer presence.
But Uchiha Yuta could.
---
Yet, as Shiren fell unconscious, Ōtsutsuki Shēten didn't hesitate.
He scooped his son into his arms and fled at high speed.
He wasn't a fool. Based on Uchiha Yuta's monstrous pressure, without the Giant Reincarnation Eye, he stood no chance.
"You're not getting away!"
SWOOSH!!
Crackling through the air, Uchiha Yuta—still holding Hinata—vanished into an afterimage and pursued him instantly.
The moment he left the palace—
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion sounded behind him as the grand palace collapsed into rubble.
---
Elsewhere, on an open square—
Ōtsutsuki Shēten appeared with his son, breathing heavily.
"What's wrong? Not running anymore?"
SWISH!
Uchiha Yuta landed gracefully, still holding the timid Hinata Hinata in his arms.
"I won't run."
A maddened light flickered in Ōtsutsuki Shēten's eyes. "Fifth Hokage, you are strong... But setting foot on the moon is your greatest mistake."
"Come forth! Giant Reincarnation Eye!!"
At once, he formed seals rapidly with his hands.
BOOM!!
A massive Reincarnation Eye materialized midair in the center of the square—its terrifying pupil power shook the entire moon.
A devastating wave of chakra spread outward. The entire moon trembled.
---
"There it is..."
Uchiha Yuta narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had been able to crush Ōtsutsuki Shēten without this—but he wanted this moment.
The Giant Reincarnation Eye was hidden on the moon using a powerful sealing technique. But now, it was out in the open.
---
"Hinata, stop pretending."
After a moment, Uchiha Yuta looked down and gently patted her on the back. "You're awake. Come out and enjoy the show."
"Ah..."
Hyuga Hinata blushed crimson. Slowly opening her eyes, she whispered shyly, "Thank you for saving me, Lord Hokage."
"It's nothing."
Glancing at the bashful little girl in his arms, Uchiha Yuta said with a calm smile, "Just be obedient when we return to Konoha."
"Okay..."
Hinata's cheeks turned redder as she gave a mosquito-like reply, burying her head shyly.
"Good."
Uchiha Yuta set her gently on the ground and said, "Now, watch how I deal with the one who dared to kidnap you."
"Hm!"
Hinata stood nervously on the edge of the square, nodding seriously.
