With his last remaining willpower, his left hand trembled as he channeled his chakra and formed the Sword of Wind!
He knew that the only way to slow down this terrifying encroachment was to abandon the arm that brought both power and destruction!
But just as his wind sword was aimed at the base of the arm that was frantically turning to wood, and he was about to sever it with all his might...
A golden figure suddenly appeared beside him, accompanied by a slight ripple in the space.
It's Naruto Uzumaki!
In Naruto's Mangekyou Sharingan with its six-pointed star, there was no pity, only cold mockery and the satisfaction of ending the fight.
"Trying to save yourself? Danzo, you think you deserve salvation?! Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto won't allow it!"
Before he could finish speaking, Naruto struck with lightning speed!
"Crack!" A crisp sound of a bone breaking rang out.
Naruto gripped Danzo's left wrist with perfect precision, and the immense force amplified by Sage Mode snapped it in two!
"Ugh!" Danzo's wrist fell limply, and the Wind Sword in his hand disappeared.
His last chance to save himself was completely blocked.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto's right hand, which shone with golden light and contained powerful natural energy, pressed down without hesitation on Danzo's right shoulder, which was frantically turning to wood.
Or rather, it was on that terrifying mixture of wood and flesh that was proliferating out of control!
"Since you crave the power of Wood Release so much!" Naruto's lips curled into a cruel and ruthless smile. "Then I'll lend you a hand!"
The violent Sage Chakra, mixed with Naruto's own highly pure Wood Release Chakra, surged through his palm like a raging flood, pouring into Danzo's body and instantly filling those rampaging Hashirama cells!
This massive, pure Wood Release chakra was like pouring boiling oil on a raging fire!
"Buzz!!!"
Visibly, Danzo's life energy was being rapidly drained and transformed!
The wood grain spread across the entire body at an alarming rate, like a plague!
"No, no! How can you use Wood Release?" Danzo cried out in terror!
However, Naruto ignored his intentions and continued to inject Wood Release power into his body.
Danzo's face quickly withered and hardened, covered with rough, dark brown wood grain; his painfully wide eyes lost all their luster, solidifying into two gray, withered wood grains; his desperately gaping mouth completely stiffened, turning into a strange tree hole crack.
Countless new, tender green branches and thick, dark brown roots burst forth!
They greedily pierced the ground, entangled themselves around the rocks, and even climbed onto Danzo's body, firmly fixing him to the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, Shimura Danzo, the Root leader who had been screaming and struggling just moments before, had completely vanished.
Only a huge tree with a twisted and bizarre shape, exuding endless resentment and pain, remained in the original spot.
The trunk still vaguely resembles a human figure, but it is mostly covered by wildly growing branches, grotesquely intertwined roots, and rough, cold wood, standing silently in the center of the huge pit, becoming the cruelest tombstone of this battle.
A gust of wind blew by, and the twisted branches swayed gently, as if the man's last, unwilling sobs still lingered.
Naruto slowly withdrew his hand, looking coldly at the tree sculpture in front of him.
Sasuke withdrew his Susanoo and slowly walked to Naruto's side, his Mangekyou Sharingan coldly sweeping over the giant tree that Danzo had transformed into.
"Hmph, this twisted ugliness." Sasuke's lips curled into an undisguised smile of pleasure and contempt. "It suits your twisted life perfectly. Farewell, Root rat."
Chapter 32 Reincarnation Eye
When Naruto and Sasuke returned to the Hokage's office, they reported to Tsunade that they had killed everyone in Root.
Tsunade didn't show any surprise, she just sighed slightly.
While she was engaged in a power struggle with Danzo, she had already won over all the Root ninjas she could.
The rest were all blindly loyal to Danzo. Since they didn't recognize her as Hokage, they might as well go down with Danzo.
That saved her some trouble.
"By the way, Grandma, Hinata seems to have a problem with her eyes. When she's practicing Sage Mode, her eyes get itchy from time to time. I can't find anything wrong with my medical ninjutsu. Could you use some equipment to check her out?" Naruto said to Tsunade.
This matter should have been checked by Tsunade when they returned to Konoha from Mount Myōboku.
However, at that time, they were going to rescue Gaara, and Hinata insisted on going with him, so it was postponed.
Now that Gaara has been rescued, Naruto has brought up the matter again.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go, call Hinata to Konoha Hospital."
Konoha Hospital, Diagnosis Room.
Tsunade held a stack of reports, her delicate brows furrowed as she flipped through them.
Hinata lay on the hospital bed, and Naruto looked at Tsunade anxiously: "How are you, Granny? Is Hinata's eye alright?"
"Mmm..." Tsunade said in a nasal tone.
"Calm down, Naruto. Let Tsunade analyze it again," Jiraiya said, patting Naruto's shoulder as he stood beside him.
Guy, Kakashi, and Sasuke also stood aside, waiting for Tsunade's analysis.
Hinata herself, however, didn't seem nervous at all; in any case, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her eyes.
She can eat and drink well, and sleep soundly through the night. She has no health problems, and she doesn't know if it's just her imagination, but she feels that her eyes are even more perceptive than before.
After flipping through the test report twice, Tsunade closed it and looked at Naruto, saying, "Hinata's indicators are all perfectly healthy, there are no problems at all!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that there was no problem.
Hinata felt a little strange looking at everyone's reactions. She couldn't help but touch her stomach; she wasn't pregnant yet!
Just as she was thinking this, she felt her eyes start to itch again.
"But what's wrong with her eyes?" Naruto pointed at Hinata, who was silently rubbing her eyes.
Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest: "Hinata's itchy eyes only started after she started practicing Sage Mode, right?"
Hinata nodded and said, "That's right!"
Tsunade nodded slightly: "That means the Byakugan may have undergone some kind of strange change after absorbing natural energy!"
"Changes?" Everyone was taken aback.
"Has anyone in the Hyuga clan ever absorbed natural energy before?" Tsunade asked Hinata.
"I don't know, maybe Father knows, we'll have to ask him," Hinata said, shaking her head.
"I can't help with that either. Orochimaru probably has more experience with this kind of problem!" Tsunade said.
"Orochimaru-senpai?" Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
We might need to ask Orochimaru to examine Hinata.
Hinata learned about this from Hiashi Hyuga and told him about it.
"The eyes changed after coming into contact with natural energy?" Hiashi Hyuga frowned deeply. He had never heard of the Byakugan undergoing such a change.
Suddenly his expression changed. Could Hinata's change in eyes be related to that race on the moon?
"Hinata, come with me to the secret room!" Hiashi Hyuga said to Hinata with a serious expression.
"A secret room?" Hinata was taken aback. Following Hiashi Hyuga's steps, she entered the heavily guarded secret room, which required bloodline power to open.
It was filled with scrolls of various sizes.
It records the secret techniques passed down by the Hyuga family, as well as the historical records that the Hyuga family has been exploring for a long time.
Hiashi Hyuga quickly rummaged through the mountain of ancient scrolls, finally fixing his gaze on a huge scroll made of an exceptionally tough material, bound with special sealing talisman paper. His expression was solemn as he carefully brushed away the dust, his movements filled with unprecedented reverence.
"Father, what is this?" Hinata looked at her father's unusually tense expression, and her doubts deepened.
"Shh..." Hiashi Hyuga made a shushing gesture, took a deep breath, and carefully peeled off the ancient talisman with his chakra-infused fingers.
The scroll rolled heavily, making a dull thud.
By the light of the secret room, the father and daughter stared intently at the scene.
The beginning of the scroll was not a secret technique of the Hyuga clan, but was written in an extremely ancient script that resembled cuneiform, with annotations added by later generations in modern script.
Hinata read it carefully and was shocked to discover that the scroll recorded the true origin of the Hyuga clan!
They did not originate from the Ninja World Continent, but from the moon, which floats among the stars in the distant sky!
Their ancestor was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Hamura Otsutsuki and his direct descendants, a lineage that inherited the pure power of the Byakugan, have guarded the relics left by their ancestor for generations and monitored the dangerous existence sealed in the moon. They call themselves the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki.
The scroll clearly states that the Hyuga clan is a branch of the bloodline left on Earth by the descendants of the Otsutsuki Hamura.
It explicitly states that the Byakugan is not the end of their bloodline power.
There exists a power that exists only in distant legends, and is almost regarded as a taboo or a miracle.
It is the powerful eye technique awakened by our ancestor, Hamura Otsutsuki!
The Awakening Condition Scroll only vaguely mentions that the awakening of this ultimate eye power requires two core elements: first, possessing an extremely powerful and pure Otsutsuki Hamura bloodline; and second, coming into contact with some kind of "original life energy" or "an external opportunity to activate bloodline resonance".
The scroll specifically noted that this energy was difficult to absorb in the ninja world and was extremely violent, and it was accompanied by a vague symbol.
At the end of the scroll is a note, seemingly left by an ancestor of the Hyuga clan, speculating: "Our clan has been scattered among mortals, our bloodline is now rare. The land of immortals is far removed from the mortal world, perhaps there is a faint chance of connection? However, this is merely speculation, future generations should carefully consider it..."
"Father, the scroll says that our family comes from the Otsutsuki clan. Why have I never heard of this family before?" Hinata asked, looking up at Hiashi Hyuga after reading the description on the scroll.
"I don't know either. The history of the ninja world is too long, and much historical information is no longer verifiable. But judging from the scrolls passed down through our family generation..."
"The Otsutsuki Hamura clan has even moved to live on the moon. We haven't heard from them for many years, so it's hard to say if they still exist," Hyuga Hiashi said, shaking his head.
"Is it even habitable on the moon?" Hinata murmured to herself.
"Let's not talk about that, Hinata. The important thing is the Tenseigan!" Hiashi Hyuga said.
Chapter 33 Grandpa, you've been too lenient with them.
"According to the scroll, Hinata, your Byakugan is very likely due to the absorption of natural energy, and you are evolving towards the Tenseigan." Hiashi Hyuga's tone was filled with joy.
“ε=(?ο｀*)))Eh, me?” Hinata pointed to her eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, perhaps it's because your bloodline power is incredibly strong, and coupled with your cultivation of immortal arts and absorption of natural power, that you unintentionally awakened the Tenseigan of your ancestor, Otsutsuki Hamura!" Hyuga Hiashi nodded and said.
"So, not only are my eyes fine, they're even evolving?" Hinata patted her chest, relieved that her eyes were alright.
"This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Hyuga clan, and it may never happen in the future. This is a momentous event that will definitely be recorded in the history of the Hyuga clan!" Hyuga Hiashi said solemnly when he saw Hinata's expression, which showed that she still did not understand the situation.
Hinata nodded gently: "Yes, Father. Now that things have been clarified, I'll go tell Naruto first, so he won't keep worrying."
Hiashi Hyuga froze abruptly: "No, Hinata, did I not explain clearly? You will be recorded in the history of the Hyuga clan!"
"Okay, okay, I understand. You've already said it, Father. I'm going to find Naruto now!" Hinata had already walked out of the secret room.
As Hinata's figure receded into the distance, Hiashi Hyuga froze, and a gust of wind blew by, shattering his petrified body into pieces on the ground.
Just like his heart!
His beloved daughter no longer belongs to him!
That wretched blond brat!
He wanted to take his precious daughter back, but then he realized he couldn't beat Naruto!
Damn it, this kid is so young, yet his strength is terrifying!
In short, it's all that wretched blond kid's fault!
Hinata recounted to Naruto what she had seen in the scroll in the Hyuga clan's secret chamber.
"Hamura Otsutsuki awakened the Tenseigan?" Naruto was slightly taken aback. He scratched his head and asked, "What kind of clan is the Otsutsuki clan?"
Hinata shook her head and said, "The scroll doesn't record any of this; it only says that our Hyuga clan originated from Hagoromo Otsutsuki."
"The Tenseigan must be very powerful, after all, it's the eye technique awakened by the founder of the Hyuga clan!" Naruto revealed a gentle smile.
He patted Hinata's head: "I never expected my Hinata to be so amazing. It seems I'll need you to protect her from now on."
Hinata blushed and lowered her head, tapping her index fingers together: "No way, it's always been Naruto who has taken care of me."
"Haha, Hinata, don't underestimate yourself! Uncle Hiashi said that this is something the Hyuga clan has never done before. You've become the first person in history to do this! You'll definitely surpass the Hyuga clan's founder, Hamura Otsutsuki, in the future!" Naruto cheered Hinata on.
This girl is still too shy.
