Chapter 208

When the moon, created by the Six Paths Planetary Devastation, completely shattered, Kaguya's chakra was drawn back into her true body.

Hmph!

Her bright eyes opened, exuding a cold, high-born light, and the surroundings instantly became radiant.

At this moment, Otsutsuki Kaguya—the legendary goddess, the first being to possess chakra, the ancestor of all chakra—had truly revived!

I am a true return. Using another's body was naturally uncomfortable, and her power was limited, which was one reason she was sealed again. Moreover, the unstable chakra made it impossible for Kaguya to fully control the tailed beasts, another significant flaw.

But now, everything was different.

Once the chakra was fully absorbed, the true Heavenly Goddess released her aura, instantly forcing all the surviving members of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon to their knees. They had never felt such oppressive power before! They knew the legend of Otsutsuki Kaguya well. As descendants of Hamura, their original mission was to guard the Gedo Statue on the moon, and every tale of the goddess was recorded in their ancestral shrines.

The Otsutsuki clan members stared in terror as the woman slowly left the moon. It was said that the goddess of Utsunomiya possessed the power to destroy everything. Even now, they did not fully understand what kind of vague chakra they had been fighting against.

"Finally, this day has come."

But just then, an aged, regretful voice suddenly sounded.

Senju Yukika, watching Kaguya's unparalleled grace, raised an eyebrow and looked into the distance. The voice came from somewhere on the moon's surface—if one sensed carefully, it seemed to be the very place that was meant to become a shrine in the original story.

The moon's transformation had only just begun with the sound of that voice.

Yukika clearly sensed that the corpses of the Otsutsuki clan members killed by Kaguya and those torn apart by the moon's tremors were undergoing a strange change. A wave of power began to emanate from them, gathering toward a pair of Byakugan.

Exactly as expected.

Hugging himself tightly, Yukika seemed to realize where this power came from. In the original movie, the Otsutsuki branch family on the moon staged a coup, relying on the Tenseigan—a reincarnation eye formed by all the main family members' Byakugan. Back then, the Tenseigan was purple.

Using the power of the Tenseigan, they massacred their entire clan and collected many Byakugan, fusing them into the true Golden Wheel Tenseigan. They then attempted to use it to crash the moon into Earth. Otsutsuki Toneri even planned to leave only Hinata alive, to rebuild everything with her and their children after the dust settled.

This was Toneri's grand ambition.

But could a single man and woman really create a clan alone? No matter how strong Otsutsuki Toneri's body was, could Hinata even handle it? Naturally, he failed.

The key was the Tenseigan. Why was the branch family so confident that gathering all Byakugan together would create such a powerful weapon? Whether it was the purple Tenseigan of the entire branch family or the Golden Wheel Tenseigan made by combining main and branch family Byakugan, there had to be something behind it.

Most likely, it was all part of the tricks left by Otsutsuki Hamura. In the original, when Hinata came to the moon, Hamura's desire to communicate with her confirmed this. That old man, like his brother, the Sage of Six Paths, never truly died.

Think about it. The Six Paths Planetary Devastation that sealed Kaguya's power was something Hamura also helped create. As the brother of the Sage of Six Paths, he too was a lifeform born from the world's reverence, so he was part of Earth's original power. Even if he aged, his soul did not die. During the thousand years Kaguya was sealed, he naturally imagined scenarios where the moon might fail, and how the clan should respond.

So it's likely that both the purple Tenseigan and the Golden Wheel Tenseigan were strategies Hamura left behind.

In the next moment, the Otsutsuki clan's transformation confirmed Yukika's guess. When the sigh sounded, the clan members stopped panicking and calmly looked toward the shrine. Then, tears of blood flowed from their eyes as countless Byakugan began to gather—purple first, then transforming into gold.

As the enormous Golden Wheel Tenseigan appeared, Otsutsuki Hamura's soul fully manifested, standing in front of the reincarnation eye. But his face was filled with anger and fear.

Kaguya had revived.

And the young man who tore apart the Six Paths Planetary Devastation with mysterious power was still here.

These two were no easy opponents, and Hamura knew it well.
