“Teacher Wang Yan!”
The four members of the Hyuga household recognized the visitor instantly.
Hinata, the renowned manga artist, didn’t realize that the man before her was the “ancestor” who had made her cry countless times with his stories.
Hanabi and Karin felt anxious upon seeing him.
Wang Yan was famous in Konoha for his unpredictability and whimsical nature. No one could guess what he might do next.
On the other hand, Neji Hyuga, seeing Wang Yan’s appearance, felt his tension ease instantly.
Given that their opponent hailed from the moon and bore the same surname as the Sage of Six Paths, no one knew what kind of trump cards he might possess.
In such a situation, having Wang Yan present was reassuring.
Unfortunately, Neji misjudged Wang Yan’s purpose for being there.
“Don’t mind me, carry on,” Wang Yan said, waving his hand dismissively.
Although he had his reasons for being there, he didn’t plan to help either side until a winner emerged.
“Hmph… an irrelevant person,” Otsutsuki Toneri snorted.
Unable to sense Wang Yan’s presence, Toneri regarded him as a mere trickster and paid him no further attention.
His gaze fell on Neji, and his pupils narrowed into dangerous pinpoints.
Failing to take Hanabi’s Byakugan wasn’t a big deal; he had countless opportunities to try again…
But why!
Why did this Hyuga branch house member have the Tenseigan?
“Why him!”
Otsutsuki Toneri let out a hysterical wail as if his worldview had been violently shattered.
Having spent too long as a self-satisfied recluse, his mental resilience was indeed lacking.
It took him ten seconds to regain his composure.
This was thanks to Neji not seizing the opportunity to attack; otherwise, the battle might have ended already.
Returning to his senses, Toneri looked at Neji with a complex expression, speaking earnestly, “The world created by Hagoromo Otsutsuki is a failure. I will awaken the Tenseigan and use meteors to destroy the Earth!”
“Then, together, we will create a new world! A world belonging to the lineage of Hamura Otsutsuki! You and I will be the only gods in this world!”
Hearing this, Neji nearly burst out laughing.
He had initially wanted to see what kind of formidable opponent had prompted Teacher Wang Yan to help him awaken the Tenseigan.
But the opponent was just a late-stage chuunibyou patient, nothing extraordinary.
Neji didn’t respond directly, but his smile deeply stung Toneri.
“You…”
Toneri’s face contorted with rage.
He couldn’t form seals with his six fingers severed by an invisible force, but the Otsutsuki clan’s summoning techniques bypassed the need for hand signs!
He stomped on the ground, drawing complex and obscure patterns, infusing them with his chakra.
Deep blue light flickered, and a giant humanoid puppet appeared before them.
Neji’s look of disdain and smile gradually faded.
Neji activated his Tenseigan.
He launched the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, augmented with Truth-Seeking Balls.
K.O.
Otsutsuki Toneri was utterly defeated.
Simple? Yes, the battle lasted less than three seconds when Neji got serious.
A complete one-sided thrashing.
“Teacher Wang Yan, what should we do with this guy?”
Neji lifted Toneri with one hand, placing him before Wang Yan, his tone respectful and humble.
He remembered well where his newfound power came from, maintaining a proper attitude.
“Well done.”
Wang Yan gave Neji a perfunctory response, his gaze falling on Toneri.
“Do you have anything to say now?”
His slightly neurotic tone seemed to strike a nerve in Toneri.
Toneri’s eyes turned blood red. “This ungrateful world, this ugly and filthy world, must be destroyed!”
“Hm… might have gone a bit overboard.”
Wang Yan murmured to himself, speaking in terms others couldn’t understand. “But it doesn’t matter, and it’s all for a just cause.”
His words were like the devil’s temptation. “To achieve that, you need power.”
Toneri seemed to have lost his will, mindlessly echoing Wang Yan’s words. “Power! Power, power…”
Their conversation made the others’ hair stand on end.
Despite being young, Hanabi Hyuga was quite mature. Hearing this, her first instinct was to inform her father.
The little girl swiftly slipped away using her small size to her advantage.
Wang Yan paid her no mind, smiling faintly at Toneri.
A pitiful weakling.
He had thought Toneri would at least exchange a few moves with Neji and perhaps unleash a trump card to turn the tide, but he hadn’t expected Toneri to fall so quickly.
Given this, the “gift” Wang Yan had prepared in advance wasn’t meant for Neji.
“I can give you power. Do you want it?”
Wang Yan’s voice was eerie.
“Yes… power!” Toneri, his internal organs ruptured, spat out blood as he spoke.
“Very well. Remember, stay true to your ideals, don’t be half-hearted.”
With that, Wang Yan clenched his hand, distorting time and space around him.
It seemed he had plucked a terrifying beast from the depths of the river of time.
Strangely, though he held the creature in his hand, Neji, Karin, and Hinata saw it as an ancient, towering tree.
“Teacher Wang Yan, wait, what are you…?” Neji’s question was cut short as there was no need to ask further.
Wang Yan’s actions had already made his intentions clear.
The beast was inserted into Toneri’s abdomen.
“With the ultimate seal of Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams, done!”
Wang Yan looked at Toneri, his tone strange. “Congratulations, you’re now the proud Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.”
Toneri seemed to regain some sanity.
His internal injuries healed rapidly, and even his severed fingers regenerated at an astonishing rate.
A phantom of a terrifying ten-tailed beast appeared behind Toneri, its dark, evil chakra spreading.
The black chakra, like tar, seemed to be the primordial source of all sin.
“Go, fulfill your ideals.”
Wang Yan’s cold voice sent a chill through Neji.
He couldn’t understand why his teacher would do such a thing.
Neji’s mastery of the Tenseigan was still incomplete, and he wasn’t confident he could defeat the now Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Toneri…
