Going back to earth, Ai could see that Naruto was worried and she didn't like it. His carefree expression was the best and he deserved a peaceful life for deeds.
Regardless, reality was far from her desires and she felt powerless about it all. Sitting inside the park with Konohamaru squad, Ai wasn't in the mood to play anymore. Her mood went down the moment she felt Naruto's fears and frustration.
It was palpable. She didn't whether it was because of his powers or if she had awakened such powers. Just as she was thinking about what to do, Ai felt a pull and suddenly everything changed.
Ai had change clothes to a black kimono with flowery design and she stood under a tree near a lake with the sun setting. The orange light around her, Ai saw a woman with a depressed look.
She seemed to have been the lucky summoner of Hell Girl, and the power inside guided Ai towards her duty.
Following the rules, she told the woman about Hell Girl and gave her a cursed doll. Once the doll was given, she explained that the woman had the choice to pull the red string and curse the target to hell at the very moment. With that, her soul would also go to hell when she died.
However, she also had the option to discard the cursed doll and forget about it.
The woman cried about the cruelty of the world, and how a woman had destroyed her life through the usage of political powers.
She didn't seem to understand the weight of eternal torment and gave into the pressure of the small problem of the mortal world.
Ai felt detached from it all. It felt pointless, and she saw the woman as some foolish human that didn't see the bigger picture.
"Human is an existence full of sin." Ai muttered as she saw the sinful woman crying for salvation. The woman pulled the string with the target in mind and Ai was forced to act.
Disappearing from the lake, Ai found herself in the vicinity of the target. The woman was the wife of a big businessman in the Land of Wind; she even had the protection of various Chunin ninja and a Jounin. However, none of them were able to stop Ai.
With a single move, Ai encased the target into a pocket dimension that replicated the real place around the target. In this pocket dimension, the target was tormented and her sinful actions exposed, and shamed.
"Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, Demeaning and bringing harm to others, A damned soul wallowing in sin...
Care to give death a try?" Ai finished the target with those words as the woman was covered by flowers and vanished from the world.
Ai found herself teleported to Hell, though not the actual Hell. It was just the Underworld, and the territory of Lord Loss. It wasn't her first time visiting the place and every time she was in awe of the dangerous world so close to the mortal world.
Looking at the moon, she could see the large eye looking down at her or something else. It was clear that the world was filled with large and monstrous abominations.
Moving her gaze down, she found the sinner tied by wooden roots to the small boat she was rowing towards the red gates in the distance. The woman was being tormented by the souls of the damned and Ai would have also gone crazy from the atmosphere if she wasn't part of it.
"How did it feel, Ai? Isn't it better to live this way? Free from the pitiful emotions, free from pain and fear." Lord Loss's voice echoed in her head as she could see a spider under the red gates.
Ai felt the compulsion to agree, but she resisted.
"No, I want to feel alive."
"Is this love? Is it your affection or adoration for the young sage?" Lord Loss spoke calmly without anger or annoyance. It was like; he hadn't fought Naruto at all.
"I don't know what it is, but I want to see the world he wants to show."
"Is that so? But, can you really see it? The world he desires is not something a mortal can see. His path will take him to the extremes of mortality and desire. It is not a place for the frail of heart and power….Or, do you wish for my assistance?" Lord Loss seduced the young girl with his words to trap her in his web and make her complete the contract.
"I won't be able to fight with your powers." Ai wasn't stupid. She remembered the contents and knew that unless it was through the procedure then she was unable to use any of her abilities without a heavy punishment.
"I can make an exception for you, Ai. I will allow it for a limited time. But, do you really want to act now?" Lord Loss spoke with a hidden smile as he showed the image of Hinata marrying Naruto.
It caused pain inside her heart, but she didn't give into the sinful desires as it would be selfish of her.
"I will not act like the sinners that you desire to consume. I will become pure like my hero." Ai shook her head and glared with her crimson eyes, looking at the abomination without any fear.
"My power always has a price. You will have to complete the contract."
"I…." Just before she could agree with his words, Ai was grabbed by Naruto who was looking absolutely livid.
However, he didn't hesitate and broke through the dimension with Ai.
Lord Loss didn't intervene and just smiled with amusement while the various beings of the dark dimension turned their gaze towards his location. Even the planets beyond the moon seemed to be abominations where other demonic creatures lived.
It seemed like everything was alive and warped.
"Grow into the perfect vessel for me, Ai. Let your emotions guide your powers." Lord Loss had been called towards the feeble human because her powers resonated with him. It felt like she was the perfect vessel for his powers.
He was part of the dark dimension, but Loss preferred the world of light. However, just like all the others he was forbidden from the world of light unless specific conditions were fulfilled.
"What were you doing?" Naruto asked when they arrived back in Konoha, as his face was filled with anger and worry.
"I…wanted to help you." Ai didn't like the look and felt scared.
Seeing her teary eyes, Naruto realized he was putting too much pressure on the young child and his voice was too heavy.
"I am sorry, Ai. I was just so worried about you… Please, don't do this again. It is too dangerous to interact with such a being. Do you understand?" Naruto forced himself to calm down and smile as he tried to make her see the problem.
"But"
"Ai, please…"
"I understand." Ai didn't know how much pain it caused Naruto to see a repeat of the Sasuke incident.
"Thank you, and you don't have to worry. I will fix this problem soon, believe in me." Naruto hugged her close, wished that he could end the problem soon.
It had been half a day already since Hinata disappeared.
The pressure he felt from Hinata's disappearance had numbed him to what he had felt in the dark dimension which was filled with beings on his level and above. Even the sun gave him the feeling of life, but in a corrupted sense. It had made him sick, like anymore of that atmosphere would have warped his soul.
It was fortunate that he had already marked Ai with his chakra, so he always knew where she went and his Six Paths allowed him to even sense her in other dimensions.
Regardless, he still didn't know of a way to solve his issue. He had even tried using the chakra sonar ability to find any hidden places, but it hadn't worked. He had located many hidden places on the planet, but not one with Hinata.
Moving back to Kumo, the two Kage had once again witnessed the impossible power of their guardian and felt the gap.
"My boy, Naruto be hitting hard." Killer Bee commented as he arrived beside the duo. His presence seemed to lighten the atmosphere as he wasn't pressurized by such thoughts.
"Bee"
"What's up brother? What's got you in a gloom?"
"You should already know the answer. I don't like being second."
"Hey, hey, but you have always been second."
"The difference wasn't so big, you blockhead." Ay hit Bee with a lariat in the throat.
"Don't be so serious, chill. I got a solution for you. How about you visit the moon, and talk to the people living there? Maybe they got some hotshot on Naruto's level." Bee dodged the attack and moved back with a hop.
Just because he was always chill, didn't mean that he didn't see what was going on. Bee liked Naruto, but Ay was his brother.
"What? Do you mean there is someone strong as Uzumaki Naruto up there?" Onoki was shocked by his words and felt like it was nonsense.
"Yeah, that's what my partner said. The brother of the Sage lived inside the moon, so there will be people living there. If Naruto can become strong with the help of the Sage, then there should be someone blessed by his brother. Makes sense or nah?"
"What do you think, Raikage?"
"Even if there is someone strong as him, what can we do about it?"
"We just need to ensure that there is someone to keep a balance. And, if the person is sane then we can put our support behind him to reach our goal."
"Do you guys really need to go that far? Naruto isn't gonna turn on us, you know."
"We can never be sure. It is best that we actually have the ability to stop him when he goes insane…Get ready, we will go and check it out." Ay shook his head and ordered Bee to dress up for the mission.
"Take this, tell them to use it." Onoki passed Bee the Lightning Heart as he believed it was needed. Bee would be the only one that could actually test the power of the people on the moon.
Moving back to Hinata, she was confined to the Palace and couldn't run away because of the green orb inside.
Sitting inside the room alone, she was left to consider Toneri's proposal. She didn't know what he saw, but the man had been smitten by her.
'Byakugan Princess, you are here.' Once again she heard the voice and this time, Hinata finally saw the source of it.
It was Hamura Otsutsuki, the brother of the Sage. He looked like an old Oni, similar to his appearance in the murals in the Palace. There was even a picture of him in her current room.
'Why are you calling me that? And, can you contact Naruto? Or anyone else?' Hinata noticed that they were inside her mind and hopefully the conversation was protected from Toneri.
'I call you that because of the purity of your eyes. They are the strongest Byakugan I have seen. Don't look down on these eyes, young Hinata. Just like the Sharingan has its benefits, these eyes of your can shine as well.
It is unfortunate but you are the only one that can see me as your eyes are similar to mine. So, we can only rely on you or the misguided child will cause destruction because of his ignorance.'
Hinata was disappointed in knowing that fact, but she was ready to act.
'What can I do?'
'I will need you to reach the Tensaigan Vessel, and there I will help you fight him. There is nothing stopping you from leaving the palace now, so just follow my lead.'
Hinata felt Hamura's chakra enter her body and transform it, but the boost wasn't large enough to free her from the situation. And, the seal on her powers was still there.
Following his lead, Hinata moved directly towards the Tensaigan Vessel that was on the Island with the giant statues. Her presence went undetected because of Hamura since he had been the one to create the whole system.
Hinata arrived without an issue and saw the giant golden vessel filled with enormous power. The energy vessel, also referred to as "Hamura Otsutsuki's Tensaigan, was used by the members of the Otsutsuki clan living on the Moon. Hamura created the energy vessel so that, after a thousand years, its accumulated power could be used to help the inhabitants of Earth.
Hamura made the energy vessel by removing all the Otsutsuki clan's Byakugan and clustering them together, a practice that continued in the centuries following Hamura's death. The energy vessel helped the Otsutsuki colonize the Moon, provided light to the interior surface where they lived, and powered the puppets and other contraptions that facilitated them.
The Byakugan that made up the energy vessel were stored within a golden sphere that is made to resemble an eye, specifically the Tenseigan. Because of its connection to Hamura, the Otsutsuki clan reveres the energy vessel as a religious object. In order to protect it, it was hidden away and only made accessible for special circumstances, such as weddings between those of high social standing. Its exact location was hidden behind a barrier so that it couldn't be found, though this in turn means it could be found from the void the barrier created. A jujutsu was placed on the energy vessel so that only Hamura's descendants could make direct contact with it; if anyone else tried to touch it, their chakra would be absorbed.
"Free yourself from worries and let me guide you." Hamura seemed to have gained some presence from the energy vessel.
Hinata looked at the elderly man, and decided to trust him because of Matatabi's emotions flowing toward her heart.
Letting it all go, Hinata flew towards the Energy Vessel and entered the center where the Byakugan seemed to cover her whole body.
"Don't be afraid, I will awaken your powers." The Tenseigan Sage's hand covered her eyes and she felt hollow for a moment before some other eyes were placed inside.
Among the sea of Byakugan, there was a lone pair of Tensiegan eyes and they were implanted into Hinata. Normally, if Hinata had just taken the eyes of her sibling then it would have also awakened her Tenseigan.
Just like the Mangekyo Sharingan process, Tenseigan required the exchange of eyes. The eyes needed to be pure and the chakra extremely powerful to awaken it. Hinata had fulfilled those conditions with the addition of Matatabi.
"It will take some time to adjust, so let the power flow and take it all in."
Hinata felt the change begin as her body burned from the powerful chakra entering her system. She writhed in pain and screamed because of the enormous energy of the vessel.
Even Hamura was unable to weaken the pain because it would affect the process.
While Hinata was bathed in the ultimate power of one thousand years plus some centuries, Toneri was angered by her sudden disappearance. He knew she couldn't do it, so it meant that there was an intruder.
The whole region was on full alert to search for Hinata and the intruder. Giant humanoid puppets, monsters and even dragons flew around to find her.
"Where did she go?" Toneri gnashed his teeth and threw the chair he was sitting on. He was getting impatient.
Just then, he found someone landing on the moon. It was Killer Bee all dressed to for battle.
"Hey moon people, I come in peace. So, let me inside yo." Bee knocked on the moon surface and asked for permission. He didn't know the way inside, so the other option would be to make one.
He didn't have any helmet or oxygen supply on him since all Shinobi could create oxygen from chakra while Bee didn't need to breathe because of his status as a Jinchuuriki.
The radiation was harmful for normal human beings, but Shinobi could easily bypass such low levels of radiation on the moon.
Bee moved around the moon asking for permission and Toneri decided to meet him since the Shinobi might end up making a hole to his sanctuary.
"Why are you here, human?"Toneri's puppet spoke with disdain as he considered himself a celestial being above people of earth. He was the chosen one, the one that stood above all.
"Let me see here, I am here to talk to you about the condition of the planet and to know if you have any intentions to intervene."
"I am already aware of the condition of this planet. And, what will you do if I intend to intervene?" Toneri narrowed his gaze as countless puppets surrounded the dup and made a barrier to trap Bee.
"What do you want to do with the planet?" Bee noticed the threatening tone and the barrier, but he continued his talk.
"Peace, I wish to create the world envisioned by the Sage."
"Oh, that's great. We are down with that totally, my bro and this old man are with you all the way if that's your goal. They all about balance since its wack since Naruto got this boost from the Sage, you dig."
"I don't need your permission for anything, human. You had your chance, now you will submit to my desires. Do you understand the words that I am saying?"
"Not cool, man. Not cool, why you gotta be like that. Ya know we got to battle if that's your game….Partner, let's go." Bee didn't hesitate to enter his hybrid form and activate his chakra armor powered by the Lightning Heart.
Bee's body transformed into 5 meter giant while his skin tone turned reddish pink and his skin became like leather. Large horns came out from his skull while his eyes turned pitch black. His lower body turned to become like an octopus, as large tentacles formed his legs before turning into thick legs.
'It is fortunate that Naruto gave us the gift, Bee. You really need to take his side next time.' Gyuki reminded him as various skills had become part of him once he had devoured the skill orb left by his father.
'That's why I am trying to gain the balance before they reach for extreme decisions.'
'Maybe you need to be direct about it next time.'
'I know.'
Bee talked with his partner casually as it was an easy task to smash through the chakra chains and barriers created by the puppets.
"Is that all you got?" Bee asked as he finished smashing everything with his tentacles that discharged lightning on impact.
Looking at the ugly creature, Toneri was annoyed by the fact that he was forced to take action. Bee had too much power for his puppets to handle.
With just his fusion form, Bee had grown to large country level or almost continental level and with his armor boost with the Lightning heart it had become continental plus.
He was strong enough to fight against Juubito without any support.
"You will regret this day for all your life." Toneri was livid as he ripped off the restraints on his eyes and teleported to the surface of the moon.
Toneri activates his Tenseigan, gaining a cyan-coloured chakra shroud with six magatama markings on his collar, dark markings over his eyebrows and lower eyelids, and a single horn shaped like Kaguya's extending from his forehead. The shroud constantly radiated flickering flames of chakra, and his clothing and hair continuously billowed upwards as if caught in a strong breeze.
The power radiating from him was like the sea. It was the power from Hamura's Tenseigan and Toneri's talent. It made Bee's power feel insignificant.
Regardless, Toneri was not happy as the process had been disturbed. He had yet to fully accept the power of Hamura. It was only around 70%, he had only needed just one more day.
"Bow to your new Lord the new Sage of Tenseigan, Toneri Otsutsuki." Toneri announced with arrogance as his power washed over Bee like a wave that physically pushed him down.
"I bow to no one." Bee shook his tentacle at him playfully before shooting black ink towards Toneri.
Guilty Black
It was one of the new techniques that Gyuki learned. The black ink turned extremely poisonous while possessing paralyzing lightning abilities that also drained chakra.
It was like dark water jet that cut through everything in the way, but Toneri didn't even consider it a threat.
"Futile struggle" Toneri's chakra cloak easily cancelled the attack and he retaliated with a simple chakra blast.
It looked small in comparison but it moved extremely fast and gave off a dangerous feeling.
Bee couldn't even react and his passive defence saved him. The chakra armors passive barrier blocked the chakra blast for a second that Bee utilized to sink into the shadows.
Dodging the move, Bee held onto the Lighting Sword and charged its full power while utilizing one of Gyuki's new moves.
To distract Toneri, Bee used the drones that shot light beams. The attacks were light speed, but Toneri seemed to be faster and could easily shoot the drones down.
Bee didn't have time to waste, so he reacted the moment the last drone was shot down.
Tera Blaster
It was a technique that was thousand times stronger than Mega electro shocker. Mega Electro shocker was a technique that condensed lightning into the horns or another specific point. It was strong enough to completely erase a country from the map.
On the other hand, Tera Blaster went further by utilizing the energy of the world to multiply the power of the condensed lightning.
It was the strongest attack held by Gyuki. Though, he had yet to master it so he could only multiply the power by 50.
Other than the multiplication, it also contained the power of darkness so it was extremely corrosive and drained energy.
With so much power charged into the lightning sword, it felt he was holding the world in his hand. It was like the world ended when it hit the chakra shroud.
No, it ended up hitting only the Truth Seeking ball shield that appeared before Toneri. However, it was lucky that Bee's attack was using nature energy.
Without a sound since there was no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, Toneri floated in place while everything around was about to get annihilated.
Bee couldn't control the damage and it seemed that the moon was about to be destroyed from his careless move.
Toneri used command his shield to extend and it devoured the whole attack before it could extend, containing the whole explosion inside.
The blade broke and Toneri caught Bee with his psychokinesis.
"Commendable effort mortal, but still very much futile… Now, you shall serve my interest." Toneri smiled as he extended his towards Bee with a glowing green ball.
It was a technique called Puppet technique that he used on Hinata.
"Never gonna give up!" Bee muttered as Gyuki caused his chakra to react with the lightning heart and explode.
With a black lightning storm that covered the moon various miles, being visible from earth, Bee survived by sacrificing a tentacle.
It was the 8 lives technique for Gyuki, one life for each tail. It took a lot of effort and time to recharge a tail once it was used, and each time weakened him.
It would have been enough to attract Naruto's attention as Bee wanted, but Toneri had extended the barrier of the sanctuary to hide the battle.
Toneri closed his eyes as he saw the maggot escape from him and decided to punish him. Without any chance to react, Toneri hit Bee with a palm strike that sent him crashing.
Localized Reincarnation explosion
It looked normal but within seconds the danger showed itself as Bee found the chakra inside his body condensing into an orb around his body.
The condensed chakra exploded with dark red energy beam that hallowed out a part of the moon, leaving Bee on the verge of death as his chakra was fully consumed by the explosion.
It seemed to be over when Toneri's gaze turned towards the sanctuary and he realized where Hinata had hidden.
"Stop, I will not allow your tyranny." Hinata flew from the energy vessel towards the battlefield as she had become aware of it.
She had also stopped before the procedure was done because of Bee's condition.
"You dare defile the Tenseigan Vessel!" Forgetting all his adoration for the beautiful creature, Toneri was absolutely riled up by the fact that Hinata had not just touched the sacred item but even absorbed its powers.
Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion
With a command, the Truth Seeking balls started to spin and release a silvery tornado that erased everything in its path.
Hinata fully activated her eyes and she was covered by the Tenseigan chakra mode. Unlike Toneri, she was blue colored. Without a moment of hesitation, she used her Truth Seeking balls as barrier.
However, the power of the move was too much for Hinata. She was sent flying beyond the moon while her shields seemed to deteriorate at a fast pace.
'Hinata, fuse with me!' Matatabi spoke with urgency and flames consumed Hinata.
Hinata took on a flame from, leaving her flesh body, and it combined with her chakra mode. With her base strength sky rocketing, the Tenseigan gave her another boost as she was able to draw upon even more chakra.
Omega Burst
Just like Bee, Hinata had also received the skill orb and Matatabi had learnt the techniques left by her father.
The skill induced a super-detonation over the surrounding kilometers with an intense flash, releasing huge amounts of flames that countered the silver wind of death.
