Ōtsutsuki Toneri struggled to his feet, his expression twisted with shock.
He stared at Uchiha Mirai, a cold dread creeping into his heart.
What the hell was that overwhelming force just now?!
On the sidelines, Hinata and Hanabi Hyūga both looked excited.
Mirai had taken action—and instantly thrown Toneri into a humiliating defeat. It was incredible!
"Mirai-sama, kill that bastard!" Hanabi shouted without hesitation.
Mirai gave a calm smile. "Don't worry. I'll get your eyes back for you."
Toneri's face contorted with rage as he overheard their exchange.
Even after witnessing his power, that guy still had the nerve to act smug?
Unforgivable!
With a flicker of thought, several green Truth-Seeking Orbs shot toward Mirai.
"Hmph."
Mirai merely lifted his hand and casually waved it—effortlessly deflecting the incoming attack.
"You... you can touch the Truth-Seeking Orbs?!" Toneri cried out in disbelief.
Mirai sneered. "You call that a Truth-Seeking Orb?"
"They're nothing but toys—fake constructs conjured up to make yourself feel better."
Toneri's current power, borrowed from the massive Tenseigan, barely put him at the threshold of Six Paths level. He still lacked the ability to create true Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Those green spheres of his might've been durable, but they didn't carry the deadly touch of the real thing.
As he spoke, nine pitch-black orbs floated behind Mirai.
One of them silently materialized behind Toneri.
Alarm bells blared in Toneri's mind. He instinctively twisted to the side—
—but too late.
The black orb brushed his arm, instantly erasing it from existence.
"ARGHHHH!"
Toneri screamed in agony. He quickly formed hand seals with his remaining hand, activating the Tenseigan's power. A colossal lava giant began to take shape.
Under Toneri's command, the towering beast—hundreds of meters tall—charged at Uchiha Mirai.
The moon itself quaked beneath its weight.
"You dare show off with cheap tricks like that?"
Behind Mirai, his Susanoo emerged, towering and majestic.
With a single swing of its blade, the lava giant shattered into pieces.
Toneri, undeterred, repeated his tactic. He soared into the air and raised his last remaining arm.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
This time, he poured every ounce of strength he had into it.
An endless golden blade burst forth, radiating terrifying energy as it descended on Uchiha Mirai like a divine judgment.
"DIE!!!" Toneri roared.
But before the sword could land, it came to an abrupt halt midair.
Toneri stared in disbelief—
Mirai had caught it. With one hand.
Crack!
With a light twist of his wrist, the golden sword shattered into a burst of shimmering particles.
"No... Impossible," Toneri whispered, his voice trembling.
He knew better than anyone the true power of Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. That technique alone could wipe out the entire ninja world.
And yet... Mirai had just crushed it with his bare hand.
Not even the ancestors or the Sage of Six Paths himself had achieved something like that!
Off to the side, Hinata and Hanabi looked at Mirai with awe in their eyes.
How could anyone be this cool?!
...
"All right, enough playing around," Mirai said flatly.
In a blink, he appeared in front of Toneri.
Before Toneri could react, Mirai had already gouged out his eye.
Toneri cried out in pain. His connection to the massive Tenseigan was severed instantly, and the Tenseigan Chakra Mode faded.
Squelch!
A bone spike pierced his chest.
Toneri's body disintegrated into a pile of ash.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Reward acquired: +1 Chakra!]
Mirai wasn't surprised he hadn't gained the Tenseigan.
After all, Toneri's Tenseigan had been forcibly awakened using the massive Tenseigan—it wasn't truly his own power.
It made sense that no Tenseigan reward had been granted.
...
Mirai returned to Hinata and Hanabi, holding the two eyes in his hand.
He gently placed them back into Hanabi's eye sockets.
A pulse of Yang Release chakra surged through her, and her eyes instantly returned to normal.
"I can see again!"
"Uwaaah... Thank you, Mirai-sama!" Hanabi cried, hugging him tightly.
She'd been terrified the whole time, and now that it was over, the emotions came pouring out.
Mirai gently patted her back, his voice soft. "It's all right now, Hanabi. That guy's gone. No one will ever hurt you again."
Hanabi sniffled, wiping her tears. "Mirai-sama... you're amazing."
Seeing Hanabi calm down, Hinata finally spoke.
"Mirai-sensei... should we go back now?"
"No rush," Mirai replied. "First, I'll help you awaken your Tenseigan."
...
He took both sisters to a massive spherical structure.
Inside the orb, a strange fluid shimmered—and suspended within it were countless Byakugan.
The sight made both Hinata and Hanabi gasp in horror.
This branch of the clan... they're monsters. They actually gathered all their clansmen's eyes like this...
"Hinata, just focus on controlling your chakra. I'll handle the rest."
Hinata nodded seriously. "Understood, Sensei."
Mirai turned his gaze to the giant Tenseigan and began drawing its power out.
As the energy surged into Hinata, the dormant genes in her body began to awaken.
Her pure white eyes gradually turned into a dazzling sky-blue.
...
After a while, Mirai clapped his hands.
"It's done."
Hinata's eyes now sparkled like stars, and her chakra had grown dozens of times stronger.
A flowing green chakra cloak formed naturally around her.
"Wow, Sis! You look just like a goddess!" Hanabi said, full of admiration.
Hinata looked at Mirai with excitement. "Mirai-sensei, the Tenseigan's power is incredible!"
With her awakening came inherited knowledge—about how to wield this new power.
It was far beyond what she'd ever imagined.
Mirai chuckled. "I bet Hiashi is going to be very pleased."
The Hyūga clan's honor had always been important to Hiashi. He worked tirelessly to preserve the clan's status.
Now that he'd seen the Byakugan evolve into something even greater—he probably wouldn't be able to sleep from excitement.
After all...
For years, the Byakugan had been mocked and dismissed—considered inferior to the Sharingan.
But now?
Everything had changed.
