Ōtsutsuki Hirai?
Rummaging through all the memories in his mind, there wasn't a single trace of this person. He must have died long before the storyline began, given that the events involving the Tenseigan took place nearly twenty years later.
As Hirai's eyes bore into him, filled with greed, Kai felt an overwhelming wave of disgust rise within him.
"Hand over the Tenseigan, and perhaps I'll spare your life. Hahaha," Ōtsutsuki Hirai sneered, his laughter filled with arrogance as he stared at Kai.
Kai frowned, a cold smile forming on his lips as he looked at Hirai. "Have you been cooped up on the moon for so long that your brain's gone rotten?"
"Hmph, courting death!" Hirai's face darkened instantly at Kai's words.
With his right hand forming a palm, a massive golden energy sphere materialized in Hirai's hand and hurtled straight toward Kai.
Boom! A deafening explosion echoed as Hirai's attack obliterated nearly half of the palace.
"So easily hit? As expected, the main family members are all show and no substance. Hopefully, the Tenseigan hasn't been damaged," Hirai remarked disdainfully, a sneer playing on his lips.
"Hit? How could that be possible?"
Kai's figure suddenly appeared behind Hirai, his hand wielding a Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, which he hurled directly at Hirai's head.
Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!
Hirai's reaction was lightning quick, his Palm Rotation spinning into action in an instant. A deep blue chakra barrier enveloped him, blocking the Rasenshuriken. While the rotation was disrupted, Hirai himself emerged completely unscathed.
Ōtsutsuki Gentle Fist Technique: 512 Palms!
Hirai didn't let up for even a moment. The Gentle Fist, a traditional taijutsu of the Ōtsutsuki clan, was something Hirai had mastered far beyond the capabilities of the Hyūga clan. His opening move was the unheard-of 512 Palms!
Palm after palm struck relentlessly, leaving no room for Kai to recover. Each strike aimed precisely at the chakra points across Kai's body. In just an instant of distraction, Hirai's palm struck multiple major tenketsu on Kai's body.
Suddenly, Kai felt his chakra flow becoming sluggish. This Gentle Fist technique was worlds apart from the Hyūga clan's version. Even a mere Twelve Palms would be enough to completely block the chakra flow in Kai's body.
Iron Fist: Modified Layered Shock Tremor!
Kai's body trembled violently, dissipating the chakra Hirai had injected into his tenketsu. Seizing the moment, Kai activated Divine Descent to create some distance between himself and Hirai.
Yang Release: Twin Fists of Eruption!
Massive jets of molten lava erupted from Kai's fists, surging toward Hirai with such intense heat that the very air seemed to distort.
Hirai, however, didn't dodge. Instead, he faced the attack head-on.
Heavenly Void Strike!
A colossal pale blue chakra fist, several times the size of Kai's lava fists, appeared in the air. It shattered Kai's molten attack with ease and continued its trajectory, barreling toward Kai.
Heavenly Void Strike?!
Kai's heart sank. He hadn't expected Hirai to wield this ultimate taijutsu.
Though isolated on the moon, the Ōtsutsuki clan maintained the purity of their bloodline and the perfection of their secret techniques. Inherited from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the Heavenly Void Strike was the pinnacle of taijutsu, with every strike a deathblow. Kaguya herself had shattered Sasuke Uchiha's Susano'o—even in its Rinnegan-enhanced state—with this very technique!
Wood Release: Shield of the Deity!
A massive, fearsome mask resembling a wrathful deity enveloped Kai's entire body.
The legendary Shield of the Deity, said to have withstood even the Tailed Beast Bomb from a Nine-Tails clad in Armored Susano'o, began to crack under the relentless assault of Hirai's Heavenly Void Strike.
But Kai wasn't about to give Hirai any more opportunities to attack.
Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!
The floating island was instantly overrun by towering trees, transforming the battlefield into Kai's domain.
Seeing the scene before him, Hirai was visibly shocked. "This is the power of the Sage Body! You're not a descendant of Hamura's clan—you're a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo! Damn it, you dare to deceive me?!"
"I never said I was from Hamura's lineage. That was your assumption." Kai's voice was calm, but his relentless offensive showed no signs of stopping.
Wood Release: Binding Tree Burial!
The branches morphed into sharp, spear-like stakes, launching a ceaseless barrage toward Hirai.
Despite having the Byakugan, which allowed for 360-degree vision, Hirai couldn't avoid every attack. A wooden stake pierced through his right shoulder from behind.
"Argh! Damn brat, how dare you wound me!"
Hirai ripped the wooden stake from his shoulder, his eyes locked onto Kai with murderous intent. "The Byakugan, evolved through generations of the Ōtsutsuki clan, into the Tenseigan! Let me show you its power!"
As Hirai finished speaking, a golden stream of light shot out from the depths of the moon, enveloping him.
Golden chakra flames ignited around Hirai, and to Kai, the sight was eerily familiar. Hirai had entered the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
Harnessing the power of the golden Tenseigan, Hirai unleashed the full might of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
"Brat, let me show you the true power of the Tenseigan!" Hirai roared.
Puppet Rebirth!
A colossal stone giant rose from the floating island, towering over half its size. The giant's massive fist came crashing down toward Kai's position.
Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
Kai's Rasenshuriken struck the stone giant's fist, shattering a large portion of it. However, it wasn't enough to halt the momentum of the massive blow, which continued its descent with unrelenting force.
