Chapter 66: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion

"Ahhh...!"

Caught off guard by the sudden attack of the lightning serpent, Hyuga Kagami and Shisui—already utterly exhausted and covered in wounds—both let out cries of pain.

In an instant, the Susanoo shielding the two of them turned translucent before gradually fading away, bit by bit.

"I finally got rid of you two little brats!"

Seeing that his attack had succeeded, Fukado, who had been hiding some distance away, couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At that moment, figure after figure descended into the valley.

Nearly a hundred Kumogakure shinobi had arrived, all reinforcements rushing over from the surrounding area.

When they saw the devastation throughout the valley, the corpses of Kumogakure shinobi scattered everywhere, and the secret warehouse—their key facility—engulfed in a raging inferno, the newly arrived Kumogakure shinobi were stunned!

The leader of the group, a Kumogakure interrogation ninja named Kurapa, immediately shouted at Fukado, who had been responsible for guarding the secret warehouse.

"Fukado, what the hell happened here!? Why didn’t you protect the secret warehouse?"

Fukado replied helplessly, "We were attacked by an elite Konoha unit."

"An elite unit!?" Kurapa curled his lip disdainfully, then pointed at Hyuga Kagami and Shisui, who lay paralyzed on the ground after being struck by the Lightning Style technique. "You dare call these two Konoha brats an elite unit?"

Fukado snorted coldly. "Brats!? Hmph, take a good look around you. These Konoha brats are the ones who killed more than a hundred of our men!"

Kurapa hurriedly swept his gaze across the surroundings.

Only then did he realize that every corpse lying on the ground belonged to a Kumogakure shinobi. Throughout the entire valley, aside from the paralyzed Hyuga Kagami and Shisui, there wasn’t another Konoha shinobi in sight.

Realizing that Kagami and Shisui were anything but ordinary, Kurapa immediately demanded, "I want to interrogate them right now!"

Fukado shrugged. "Do whatever you want. Two other Konoha brats got away. I’m going after them."

After being struck by the Lightning Style technique, Hyuga Kagami couldn’t muster even the slightest bit of strength.

Seeing yet another group of Kumogakure shinobi arrive, bringing the number surrounding them to more than two hundred, his heart sank lower and lower.

Staring at Kurapa as he approached him step by step, Kagami fell into despair.

Suddenly, however, he sensed an inexplicably familiar power somewhere beyond his perception.

"This is...!?"

The power seemed to be hidden within the very void itself.

It felt as though it were impossibly far away, yet at the same time, right before his eyes.

And what astonished him most was that this power was not only immense—

it also felt incredibly familiar.

Yes, that was it—a sense of familiarity!

That power, seemingly close enough to reach out and touch, reignited Hyuga Kagami’s will to survive.

Clinging to the hope of finding a path to life from the jaws of death, he struggled to raise his hand.

Seeing this, Kurapa, who was walking toward Kagami, couldn’t help sneering. "Stop struggling. Once I get what I want from you, I’ll make sure the two of you die without suffering."

Shisui, however, stared intently at Kagami.

He knew that Kagami would never make a meaningless move. At the same time, Shisui had already prepared himself to sacrifice one of his Mangekyo Sharingan to use Kotoamatsukami and take control of Kurapa.

With his current amount of chakra, he no longer had enough to use Kotoamatsukami normally.

If he wanted to forcefully activate it, his only option was to completely sacrifice one of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

But it would undoubtedly be worth it.

As long as he could secretly take control of Kurapa, he and Kagami would still have a chance to escape.

At that moment, Kagami finally managed to raise his hand and reached toward the empty air above him.

The corner of Kurapa’s mouth curled upward. "Has your consciousness already started fading? Fine by me. That’ll make interrogating you even easier—"

Before he could finish speaking, Kurapa froze.

And it wasn’t just Kurapa.

The surrounding Kumogakure shinobi froze as well.

Even Fukado, who had been preparing to pursue Guy and Kakashi, Shisui, who had been preparing to activate Kotoamatsukami—every last one of them stood stunned.

From their perspective, Hyuga Kagami had merely reached casually into the air—

and an unimaginably enormous chakra presence had suddenly erupted from his body!

The chakra was so immense that even Kurapa and Fukado, both of whom had personally witnessed the chakra of a Tailed Beast, were shaken to their very cores.

As for Kagami, he felt the injuries and paralysis throughout his body vanish in an instant.

And in their place came—

an inexhaustible, seemingly endless power.

"W-What the hell is going on!?"

The shock in Hyuga Kagami’s heart was no less than anyone else’s.

Although this surging, boundless power felt incredibly familiar to him, he was certain of one thing—

this was definitely not the power of his own Tenseigan.

Vaguely, he sensed that some kind of information seemed to be contained within this enormous mass of chakra.

"Hand seals!"

Although he had no idea what technique the sequence of hand seals contained within the information belonged to, Kagami nevertheless followed it and formed the seals one after another.

Whoosh...

The moment he completed the seals, a gentle, pale-blue chakra enveloped his entire body, and he slowly began to float into the air.

Immediately afterward, one black Truth-Seeking Ball after another emerged from his forehead and began hovering around him.

"T-The Tenseigan Chakra Mode!? Those hand seals just now... they were the hand seals for Tenseigan Chakra Mode!?"

At that instant, Kagami realized where the chakra pouring into him from the void had come from.

He simply hadn’t figured out yet why this was happening.

But now was obviously not the time to dwell on such questions.

Suppressing all the chaotic thoughts racing through his mind, Kagami was left with only a single thought—

he had to kill every Kumogakure shinobi here to ensure that the existence of the Tenseigan was never exposed!

Having made up his mind, Kagami pointed one hand toward Shisui, drawing him up from the ground and into the air.

His other hand slowly rose—

and aimed at the entire valley.

As Kagami slowly raised his hand, the nine Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him immediately converged in his palm, merging into one.

Then, an incomparably cold voice escaped his lips.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

On the moon.

Inside the Otsutsuki clan’s ceremonial hall, an ancient, white-haired elder abruptly opened his slightly clouded Byakugan.

His expression changed in shock.

"Who is using the power of the Tenseigan!?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the elder immediately rushed to the temple where the Tenseigan was enshrined.

At the same time, two other elders arrived at the temple as well.

The three gathered before the incomparably enormous Tenseigan.

"How can this be!? Who is the Tenseigan supplying chakra to?"

"The three of us should be the only ones capable of controlling the Tenseigan!"

The oldest of the three—the elder who had been inside the ceremonial hall—spoke in a grave voice.

"Whatever is happening, we’ll seal the Tenseigan first and cut off its chakra output!"

The other two elders nodded simultaneously.

The three formed hand seals at the same time before shouting in unison,

"Seal!"

As the three elders activated the seal, the brilliant light flickering across the enormous Tenseigan immediately began to dim...
