Hyuga Hiashi and His Two Daughters Have Disappeared?
Lucas was slightly taken aback when he saw Minato's message in the chat group. But it didn't take long for him to figure out the culprit.
It was the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.
Lucas: "I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. I'll head back and take care of it right away."
Namikaze Minato: "You knew this would happen?"
Lucas: "In the original future, Hyuga Hiashi's daughters were supposed to be kidnapped, but not now—this was meant to happen more than ten years later."
Senju Tobirama: "So your actions have pushed them to move ahead of schedule."
Lucas: "Exactly. They weren't a priority for me, so I planned to deal with them later. But since they made their move first, I see no reason to let them live any longer."
Whitebeard: "Group leader, reincarnate me first! Since there are enemies in the ninja world, I'll go and deal with them. I could use the exercise."
Lucas: "You? Not to look down on you, but you might not be their match."
Whitebeard frowned. "What?! Group leader, don't underestimate me!"
Lucas shrugged. "I'm not underestimating you—I'm stating facts. But if you don't believe me, you can try for yourself."
Whitebeard laughed heartily. "Fine! Let me see what they're made of."
Lucas left a clone behind to continue dealing with Zephyr and the others while his real body headed to the graves of Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace. Gathering their corpse, he returned to the ninja world and reincarnated them both.
Whitebeard flexed his fingers, testing his newly revived body. "Huh… this doesn't feel the same as when I was alive."
Ace looked down at his palm, flames flickering to life. "My Mera-Mera no Mi powers are still here? That's unexpected!"
Lucas smirked. "What's so surprising? Remember, when Nagato was revived with Edo Tensei, he still had Rinnegan and all its abilities."
In the chat group, Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed.
Uchiha Madara: "Wait… if Uzumaki Nagato dies and is resurrected, does he still have the Rinnegan?"
Lucas: "Yes. It happened in the original future. He not only retained his Rinnegan but also all its abilities."
Howard Stark: "Interesting. So theoretically, if we keep transplanting Rinnegan into people, kill them, and resurrect them with Edo Tensei… we could create an army of Rinnegan users?"
Senju Hashirama: "That's a horrifying thought!"
Howard Stark: "Relax, it's just a theory. But it does open up some possibilities."
Lucas: "True. If necessary, I'd consider this method. After all, there are plenty of powerful dead warriors in the Pirate World. Might as well put them to good use."
Namikaze Minato: "Group leader, who took the Hyuga family? No one in Konoha even noticed it happening."
Lucas: "Remember when I told you about the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura? He passed down his Byakugan to his descendants, which became both the Hyuga clan and the Ōtsutsuki clan."
Hōzuki Gengetsu: "Ugh, the Ōtsutsuki clan again? So it was them who kidnapped Hiashi's family?"
Uchiha Madara: "I've never heard of an Ōtsutsuki clan living in the ninja world. Where are they hiding?"
Lucas: "They were left behind by Hamura to guard Kaguya. They live near the Gedo Statue—on the moon."
Senju Tobirama: "On the moon?! No wonder we never heard of them! But why kidnap Hyuga Hiashi?"
Lucas: "Because the body of an Ōtsutsuki and the eyes of a Hyuga can be combined to create a Tenseigan—a dojutsu as powerful as the Rinnegan."
Uchiha Madara: "What?! A Tenseigan is on par with Rinnegan? And all it takes is combining the bodies of two bloodlines?"
Senju Tobirama: "That seems way easier than obtaining Rinnegan. You need both Indra and Asura's chakra, plus the power of the Sage of Six Paths, to awaken a Rinnegan. Why is this so much simpler?"
Lucas: "Because while the Tenseigan is as powerful as Rinnegan, it has two major weaknesses. First, it can't control the Gedo Statue or become a Ten Tails Jinchūriki, which limits its potential. Second, its pupil power is finite—once it's exhausted, it reverts to an ordinary Byakugan. It lacks the long-term endurance of a Rinnegan."
Uchiha Madara: "I see… that makes me feel better."
Whitebeard: "Gu ra ra ra! If that's the case, then these moon people aren't anything to fear. Let me show you how I'll crush them, group leader. You underestimated me before!"
Lucas: "Talk is cheap. You'll see soon enough."
Lucas, Whitebeard, and Fire Fist Ace soared into the sky, quickly reaching the moon where the Ōtsutsuki clan had built their massive fortress.
As soon as they arrived, Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko sensed their presence and his expression darkened.
"Damn it!"
He hadn't even had time to transplant the Hyuga clan's Byakugan into himself. Seeing Lucas and two powerful warriors descending upon them filled him with regret.
I shouldn't have acted so hastily!
Even worse, something didn't add up. He was certain that Lucas had left the ninja world, so how did he return so quickly?
And how had he found them so fast?
Tsukihiko's face twisted in disbelief.
"Does Lucas have the ability to see everything?!"
Gritting his teeth, he knew there was no turning back now.
"No choice… I'll have to fight!"
Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko sighed, realizing there was no turning back now. He had only one option—to see his plan through to the bitter end.
Forming seals with his hands, he channeled the power of the Great Tenseigan, merging its energy with his body. A massive eye, glowing with overwhelming pupil power, floated above his head as he rose into the sky, leaving the Ōtsutsuki compound behind to confront Lucas and his allies.
Whitebeard looked up, momentarily stunned by the sight of the gigantic, glowing eye hovering behind Tsukihiko. He frowned and asked, "What the hell is that?"
Lucas smirked. "That's the Great Tenseigan, created by merging countless Byakugan into a single entity. Unlike the Tenseigan that fits in an eye socket, this one has unlimited pupil power."
Whitebeard burst into laughter. "Gu ra ra ra! Group leader, is this why you thought I wasn't strong enough? Let me tell you—this oversized eyeball means nothing to me!"
Without hesitation, Whitebeard charged forward, his fist crackling as the power of the Gura Gura no Mi and Armament Haki fused together. He suddenly leaped into the air, throwing a devastating punch directly at Tsukihiko.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" [Ginrin Tensei Baku]
Without a word, Tsukihiko activated one of Tenseigan's unique techniques. A Truth-Seeking Ball, glowing faint green, materialized beside him and rapidly spun into a tornado-like spear, launching toward Whitebeard.
BOOM!
Whitebeard's punch collided with the tornado spear, the force shattering the air itself. Cracks spread through space, and an invisible shockwave surged forward in retaliation.
However, after a brief stalemate, the tornado spear pierced through the fractured air—sending Whitebeard flying backward.
"Dad!"
Fire Fist Ace, enraged by what he saw, transformed into pure flames, rushing toward Tsukihiko with his fist ablaze.
"Fire Fist!"
Tsukihiko remained indifferent, raising a hand as an invisible repulsive force exploded from his body, blowing away Ace's flames effortlessly.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" [Kinrin Tensei Baku]
Tsukihiko's expression turned cold as his Truth-Seeking Balls aligned in front of him, merging together into a golden energy blade that stretched across the sky. The attack was so sharp and concentrated that it seemed to cut reality itself.
In one swift motion, he slashed downward—aiming directly at Ace.
"Ace!"
Whitebeard appeared beside Ace, both of them attempting to resist the golden energy slash together. But despite their combined power, they were completely overwhelmed.
The golden blade cut through them like butter, sending them both crashing toward the surface of the moon.
CRACK—BOOM!
The entire moon trembled as the Tenseigan's golden energy wave split it in half, sending shockwaves rippling through space.
Inside the chat group, everyone was left speechless.
Golden Lion Shiki: "What the hell?! This isn't a joke, right? Whitebeard got taken out in one move—and the moon itself got split in half?!"
Gold Thief Woonan: "No wonder the group leader said Whitebeard wasn't strong enough. Now I see why."
Sword God Ryuma: "This level of power is beyond anything we could ever achieve. No amount of training could bring us to this level."
Senju Tobirama: "Group leader, are you sure Rinnegan is on the same level as Tenseigan? Because from what I'm seeing, Tenseigan seems far stronger!"
Lucas: "Rinnegan and Tenseigan may appear different in execution, but they are equally powerful. However, their approaches to power are different. Tenseigan's strength is more straightforward and destructive, while Rinnegan's abilities are more diverse and strategic."
Pirate King Roger: "So Six Paths-level strength… that means it's way beyond the Admirals and Yonko of the Pirate World?"
Namikaze Minato: "Uzumaki Nagato also had Rinnegan, but he never displayed power like this. Why?"
Lucas: "Because Nagato never fully mastered the Rinnegan. Those weren't even his original eyes."
Namikaze Minato: "So, if he had fully mastered them, could he do something like this?"
Lucas: "Not exactly. As I said, Rinnegan isn't about brute force. If Nagato had perfected his control, he wouldn't have split moons, but he would have been able to unleash unique pupil techniques that could be just as terrifying in different ways."
Uchiha Shisui: "Isn't Rinnegan's pupil technique what Nagato already used?"
Lucas: "Not exactly. Take Mangekyō Sharingan, for example—it grants various abilities like illusions, prediction, and Susanoo, but those aren't unique pupil techniques. Each Mangekyō Sharingan has its own special ability, like Kotoamatsukami or Kamui."
Uchiha Madara: "Exactly! My Rinnegan had a special ability—Limbo: Hengoku!"
Senju Hashirama: "Limbo? What does it do?"
Uchiha Madara: "It allows me to create four invisible clones, each as strong as myself. These clones exist between the real and illusory world, making them undetectable and practically invincible to anyone who hasn't reached Six Paths-level power."
Senju Hashirama: "That's it? Just four clones?"
Lucas: "These aren't ordinary clones! Without Six Paths-level power, no one can even perceive them. Even you, Hashirama, wouldn't be able to detect them if they were next to you."
Senju Hashirama: "That's terrifying… so you're saying an opponent wouldn't even realize they were being attacked by multiple clones?"
Senju Tobirama: "That means anyone below Six Paths level would be helplessly slaughtered, and even those at Six Paths level would be forced into a one vs. five situation."
Uchiha Madara: "That's right. While Tenseigan may have raw destructive power, Rinnegan's strength lies in its complexity."
One was pure destruction.
The other was deceptive and unstoppable.
Two powerful eyes, each unmatched in its own way.
