Chapter 114: Picking the Lock

This bright moon was not only the cage sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki but also the place where the Tenseigan resided.

After Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Hamura Ōtsutsuki sealed their mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Hagoromo remained in the ninja world.

To ensure the Ten-Tails never awakened and to guard the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Hamura moved to the moon with his descendants.

Of course, not all descendants went to the moon; only Hamura and the Ōtsutsuki clan's descendants moved there to watch over their mother.

Those who were not of the Ōtsutsuki clan were left on Earth, which is the origin of the Hyūga clan.

After Hamura's death, his descendants split into two factions due to differing interpretations of his will. The Branch Family believed the world created by the Sage of Six Paths had been plagued by war for a thousand years and was a failure that should be destroyed.

Thus, the Branch Family members sacrificed their Byakugan, merging countless eyes into a single eye of immense power—the Tenseigan—and annihilated the Main Family, who advocated for peace.

But now, the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon should have dwindled to just one person.

Toneri Ōtsutsuki!

This meant it was Wang Bo's best chance to seize the Tenseigan.

And Wang Bo certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he set off toward the moon. His method of reaching the moon was, of course, not by flying.

Although he could fly very fast, reaching the moon would take some time.

So Wang Bo simply chose a more convenient and faster method.

The Flying Thunder God Technique.

Of course, this was Wang Bo's modified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which could easily teleport to any place within his line of sight. Seeing the moon, he used the technique, effortlessly crossing the vast distance and arriving on the moon in an instant.

Of course, the longer the distance, the more chakra consumed during teleportation.

But Wang Bo's chakra had already surpassed that of the tailed beasts, reaching an astonishing level. Teleporting from Earth to the moon was not a difficult task for him.

However, when Wang Bo stood on the moon's surface, he found that a fifth of his chakra had vanished.

This showed that even Wang Bo could only make the round trip twice.

Fortunately, Wang Bo could extract chakra to replenish the deficit.

Upon entering the moon, Wang Bo first noticed a large complex of buildings—houses built by Hamura's descendants. But as time passed, they gradually died off.

Thus, the complex had lost its vitality, becoming a lifeless place.

Then, Wang Bo extended his perception and quickly sensed the presence of the Tenseigan. After all, such a large Tenseigan emitted an unmistakable fluctuation.

Perhaps on Earth, Wang Bo hadn't noticed it.

But once on the moon, he immediately detected this immense fluctuation.

Using his improved Flying Thunder God Technique, he teleported several times and soon stood before the Tenseigan.

This massive Tenseigan was in no way inferior to the Rinnegan in power, as it was formed from the sacrificed Byakugan of most of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family.

Its power was enough to annihilate even the Main Family.

But Wang Bo did not reach out to touch the Tenseigan, because he knew it was sealed with a curse. Anyone without Hamura's bloodline who touched it would have their chakra drained.

So Wang Bo did not rashly touch the Tenseigan. Instead, he spent some time analyzing the curse and, after unraveling it, only then touched the Tenseigan.

Although the Tenseigan and Rinnegan were different eyes, they had similarities, as both originated from the Ōtsutsuki clan.

For example, the Rinnegan could control gravity to perform Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in.

The Tenseigan could do the same.

Additionally, the Tenseigan could activate the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, characterized by a green chakra aura enveloping the body. In this mode, more ninjutsu could be used, and the user's strength was further enhanced.

Furthermore, the Tenseigan could absorb chakra, draining an enemy's chakra from a distance. It could also summon Hamura's stone statue, which could automatically repair itself under the Tenseigan's control and was powerful enough to rival the tailed beasts.

It possessed the ability to create, restoring the natural environment of a planet.

It could provide power to puppets, with precision and effect far surpassing a puppeteer's control.

It could even manipulate Truth-Seeking Balls, unleashing immense destructive power.

Yes, once the Byakugan evolved into the Tenseigan, Truth-Seeking Balls would naturally form, which was an advantage over the Rinnegan.

Because the Rinnegan did not help its user form Truth-Seeking Balls.

When Wang Bo's right hand touched the Tenseigan, his chakra gradually seeped into it, but it was constantly repelled.

The reason was simple: he was not of the Ōtsutsuki clan and did not have Ōtsutsuki chakra.

Thus, he was naturally rejected by the Tenseigan.

Chakra is a combination of spiritual energy and physical energy, bearing a strong personal imprint from birth, as everyone's DNA is different.

So the Tenseigan could easily distinguish whether the chakra entering it was from the Ōtsutsuki clan.

It was like the relationship between a key and a keyhole.

Wang Bo's chakra was not Ōtsutsuki chakra, so naturally it didn't match, and he couldn't possess the Tenseigan.

The Tenseigan's rejection also alerted the last Ōtsutsuki on the moon.

Sensing the Tenseigan's fluctuation, Toneri Ōtsutsuki rushed to Hamura's shrine where the Tenseigan was kept, wanting to see what had happened and why it was suddenly in turmoil.

Meanwhile, Wang Bo was trying to control the Tenseigan. Although his chakra wasn't Ōtsutsuki chakra, the problem was that when a thief enters a homeowner's house, they don't always rely on a key—they can pick the lock.

That was exactly what Wang Bo was doing.

Though he wasn't an Ōtsutsuki, he could pick the lock and directly control the Tenseigan, after all, the Tenseigan was just an eye, not a sentient being.

Soon, Wang Bo found the balance, and his chakra gradually permeated it.

In an instant, he seemed to establish a mysterious connection with the Tenseigan.

For a moment, Wang Bo felt he had taken possession of the Tenseigan.

Stop, you thief!!

At the same time, Toneri Ōtsutsuki, who had arrived, felt his connection with the Tenseigan severed and let out a hysterical roar.
