192 Chapter 192: Neji's Loss, Toneri's Gain
"If you submit to me, I will forgive you for your ignorance, what do you think?" Natsuo said with a smile on his face.
"You are so brave!" Otsutsuki Toneri's complexion changed dramatically, revealing a look of anger. "Descendant of Hagoromo, maybe it's because you dealt with the puppets so easily, which gave you the confidence..."
"In front of you is the descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, the heir of the Otsutsuki clan!"
Without hesitation, he launched an attack. The speed is extremely fast, and it arrived before Natsuo almost instantaneously.
And that familiar feeling made Hinata and Neji speak their voices. "Gentle Fist!"
Or rather, it is Gentle Fist similar existence!
As a clan that also has the Byakugan, the Otsutsuki clan's fighting style on the moon is very similar to that of the Hyuga clan...
In other words, they have a similar physique, the same dojutsu, and have the same lineage of origin, so they will naturally choose similar attack methods.
But Neji and Hinata were surprised, it was the secret of the Hyuga clan, how could it be used by outsiders?
Could it be that he is...
"His lineage and yours originate from the same person." Natsuo spoke directly, solving the puzzle.
Natsuo's Susanoo withstood the attacks and remained motionless.
Natsuo acted as if he wasn't being attacked at all and said: "The Otsutsuki clan on the moon originated from Otsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the legendary Sage of the Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
"Unlike his older brother who was born with the Rinnegan, Otsutsuki Hamura was born with the Byakugan, so both he and you inherited the Byakugan..."
"You can understand it as the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan."
"But because the Hyuga clan and the Otsutsuki clan did not perform intermarriages outside their respective clans, the gap between you is not as big as the one between the Senju and the Uzumaki."
"You could say that there are even more coincidences..." Natsuo smiled. "After Hamura's death, his descendants on the Moon also split into two branches due to their different understanding and interpretation of their ancestor's last words."
"Because of this they developed the same system as the Hyuga clan, dividing the clan into the main family and the branch family..."
Natsuo rubbed his chin: "Maybe your Hyuga clan was created by someone from the Otsutsuki clan who sneaked to earth and then copied the system on the moon."
"Well, the possibility is very high, otherwise why is the Hyuga clan so particular about the family branch?"
Hearing this, Neji frowned, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug into his flesh. 'Is this the source of my tragedy...'
"So, they also pay attention to the branch house family?" Hinata hesitated, and said: "But Brother Natsuo, I don't seem to have seen anyone from the branch family..."
"And when we arrived, the desolate ruins didn't seem to be from a big family with a family branch."
"It's because of their internal strife." Natsuo said with a smile: "Unlike the Hyuga clan, the Otsutsuki clan's split is more a matter of differences in philosophy."
"The branch family believes that the world created by the Sage of Six Paths has been chaotic for thousands of years and cannot achieve peace. It is a failure and must be destroyed using the Tenseigan."
"The main family advocates for peace and to continue observing the development of the shinobi world."
"The two sides fought, and finally the branch family won!"
This is enough for Hinata and Neji to understand the reason for the desolation.
"Of course, the victory was not without sacrifices. I don't know what the main family did before it was destroyed. Anyway, the branch family also suffered heavy losses. Currently, only the person in front of us remains on the moon. "
[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]
While Natsuo was explaining the situation to Neji and Hinata, Otsutsuki Toneri attacked Natsuo indiscriminately.
"You really know a lot!" Toneri said. He attacked with all his strength. It's just that it can't break through the protection of the Susanoo at all, and it is completely useless.
'Damn it! If it weren't for the fact that I don't have eyes and can't control the Tenseigan...' Toneri gritted his teeth, then turned his attention to Neji.
There are two Hyuga, and Hinata is still hugged by Natsuo and Neji is the one on the side. That's why Toneri paid more attention to Neji, and if it weren't for the Susanoo he would have already taken the Byakugan from him.
Of course, because Toneri has no eyes, and is only guided by perception, he cannot recognize Hinata immediately, otherwise...
Perhaps he would go crazy knowing how close Hinata is to Natsuo and would want to first take away his fiancée whom he unilaterally identified.
"Neji, go play with him." Natsuo said with a smile.
"Huh?" Neji, who was still immersed in what Natsuo had told them, was confused by Natsuo's words.
"Oh, what's wrong? This guy is the last elite of the Otsutsuki clan." Natsuo pursed his lips. "Whether it's his fighting technique similar to the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan or other abilities, it's the condensation of the essence of the Otsutsuki clan."
"Is there anything else that can help you improve more than playing against him?"
"The Byakugan has a chakra seeing ability sharp enough to see the chakra pathway system within a target's body and the 361 tenketsu running through it, right?"
"Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't take advantage of this feature and copy its techniques?"
Neji froze for a moment, and then his eyes lit up instantly. "Yes! Natsuo-sama!"
Toneri was taken aback for a moment and then his face became distorted with anger. "Bastard! How much do you underestimate me!"
A worthy Otsutsuki clan member is actually being treated as a sparring partner?
"Don't say that!" Natsuo chuckled lightly. "Don't you want to take away Neji's eyes, I'm giving you a chance!"
"If I really want to stop you, do you think you can take his eyes?"
Toneri heard the words and fell silent. Yes, he had no chance.
Natsuo didn't even attack at all, just relying on Susanoo's defense, he was completely invincible.
Although he still has some secret techniques that he has not used, but he thinks it is of little importance. Neji's eyes are his greatest opportunity!
Natsuo smiled, and added: "If you just remove Neji's eyes after defeating him, instead of killing him first and then removing his eyes, I can give you time to transplant your eyes... How about that?"
Toneri heard the words but said nothing.
Neji's expression remained unchanged. From the first day he decided to change his destiny, he understood that crises and opportunities sometimes go hand in hand.
Will you lose your eyes if you lose? So you simply don't have to lose!
The two started fighting without hesitation.
Otsutsuki Toneri is not weak at all, he cannot be underestimated because he does not have eyes. He brings together all the essence of the Otsutsuki clan of the Moon, he is young, but already possesses Kage-level combat power. And this was achieved in an environment where his life is much more comfortable than that of a shinobi, and he has no enemies to fight against.
Being able to possess Kage-level combat power at such an age is all due to his extraordinary talent!
In fact, in the Naruto Series after a few years, he was even able to fight against Naruto who possessed the Six Paths Senjutsu, but he simply lost...
Of course, now he still hasn't obtained the Tenseigan, and his strength is much worse than then. But still a formidable foe!
This is a big challenge for Neji, who is not as strong as Toneri.
The two quickly confronted each other.
The two sides came and went, punching to the flesh, fighting close to each other, and there were violent shocks.
As for Neji, because of his poor strength, it is completely like walking a tightrope on a cliff, with his life hanging by a thread!
The figures of the two were entangled together, changing positions while attacking non-stop.
Neji began to perfect Gentle Step Twin Dragon Fists, which is the technique he created by combining it with the Sun Breathing that Natsuo taught him. Because he was not from the main family he could not learn the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, but by fighting Toneri, he managed to complement the deficiencies of his technique and even take it to another level.
"Hinata, you too should activate the Byakugan and try to learn from this battle." Natsuo smiled. "This may be the pinnacle of the Gentle Fist's teachings."
"Yeah!" Hinata nodded and activated his Byakugan.
Although she was still in the posture of being hugged by Natsuo, she tried her best to calm down and watch the battle between the two with full attention. Because even she understands how valuable it is to watch the battle at this time!
After a hard fight, Neji lost in the end.
He was already lacking in strength. Although he persisted for a long time, he even had a certain breakthrough in strength and began to advance to the peak of Elite Jōnin, approaching the threshold of Kage-level.
He was already lacking strength. Although he persisted for a long time, he even managed to perfect his technique and began to integrate all of his techniques with his new strength, and even approached the peak of the Elite Jonin level. But Toneri in a final analysis is still Kage level.
And he is no less genius than Neji, victory is almost inevitable!
When Neji could no longer continue the battle, after hesitating for a moment, Toneri did not kill Neji directly, but instead directly removed his eyes after defeating him.
Immediately after, he walked away, keeping his guard up, while he placed Neji's eyes in his empty sockets.
Typical of the Shinobi World, you only need to take out the eyes and put them in to perform a transplant...
"You really didn't do anything?" Toneri performed the transplant with exists and then gave Natsuo a strange look.
"Descendant of Hagoromo, your arrogance will cost you dearly!"
Toneri was pleasantly surprised to notice that Neji's Byakugan was very pure. He also began to feel how the chakra in his body synchronized with the Byakugan, and although it was painful, this showed that the Byakugan was evolving into the Tenseigan. On the other hand he now had full access to the power of the Moon's Tenseigan. This caused his power to skyrocket greatly.
"Hahaha, this is the power of the ancestor's Tenseigan!"
"So strong, really very strong!
Natsuo used Yin-Yang Release on Neji to heal him, and then said softly. "Neji, how are you feeling now?"
Neji was silent for a while and said, "I'm not used to losing the Byakugan, but overall I feel fine."
"Alright". Natsuo smiled. "So now it's time for us to get the Tenseigan."
"Descendant of Hagoromo, although your arrogance is excessive, but I should still thank you. I was planning to get the Byakugan in a few years, but I didn't expect you to send them to me now..."
Powerful eye power erupted from Toneri's eyes. And although the Tenseigan has not been formed yet, but by using the Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) he can access enormous power.
And Hinata, who is the weakest, upon feeling this enormous power, unconsciously grabbed Natsuo's sleeves.
"Huh?" Toneri, who was about to start attacking, was taken aback for a moment.
He looked carefully at Hinata who was hidden in Natsuo's arms and hesitated for a moment: "This presence... are you Hinata?"
"Do you know me?" Hinata looked at him strangely. But no matter how much she thinks about it, she doesn't remember seeing Toneri!
"I met you when you were very young." Toneri's tone was a little gentle. "You are my future wife, this is your destiny."
