Takemi flickered again, and the Totsuka Blade in his hand instantly burst forth with dazzling light.
In an instant, violent gales solidified on the Totsuka Blade.
In the next moment, the sword's edge slashed down, and the surging power, as if to destroy all things, poured out.
Boom!
The hurricane and the fist winds intertwined. The constantly rotating hurricane, with an unstoppable momentum, instantly shredded those fists.
And the hurricane erupted stronger and stronger. The Third Elder's fists were powerless to resist, no matter how desperately he swung them, it was useless.
"How could this be?"
Feeling the hurricane constantly closing in, the Third Elder's face grew paler.
The Tenseigan Chakra was burning his life, and he was fighting with all his might, so why was the difference between them still so vast?
"Watch out!"
In the sky, a furious roar suddenly rang out, and this roar sobered the Third Elder quite a bit.
He tried to calm his Chakra, retreating frantically, but the sweeping hurricane still grazed his body.
"Ah!"
The Third Elder let out a miserable shriek.
One of his arms had silently vanished, swept away by the hurricane.
All that remained was the belated, agonizing pain, along with heavy, ragged breaths and a face full of terror.
When he saw Takemi slowly descending from the sky and flying towards him, that terror intensified.
"Only this much?"
Takemi calmly glanced at him, asking indifferently.
Buzz!
However, before the Third Elder could even answer, the Totsuka Blade in his hand had already swung out again.
A brilliant slash flashed once more, and this time it was even faster than before.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by splashing blood, a long, bone-deep wound was cut into the Third Elder's chest.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, half of his body would have been severed, and Takemi had already arrived before him.
In an instant, a powerful suction force yanked him, and he was pulled into Takemi's hand without any resistance.
His head was grabbed by Takemi, and his thoughts immediately became chaotic. He felt the information in his mind leaking.
"You…"
The Third Elder couldn't struggle at all. There was a disparity even among Tenseigan users.
He knew the gap between him and this Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki was too vast.
"Shh."
But no matter how much he struggled, Takemi merely shook his head indifferently.
"Please remain quiet, it's your last bit of dignity."
Dignity?
The Third Elder nearly gnashed his teeth when he heard this.
Was this considered dignity?
He stared intently at Takemi, then suddenly paused, and in that brief moment, his expression changed.
"Dignity, you say?"
His expression was ferocious as he let out a roar.
"Let me show you what true dignity is!"
Boom!
His Chakra exploded recklessly at this moment, and his life force burned even more fiercely.
Meanwhile, inside the Hamura Shrine, the First Elder let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry…"
But after the sigh, his Chakra also suddenly erupted.
That giant Tenseigan, though still restless, struggled constantly as if trying to break free from his control.
But he didn't care at this moment. Even as his body trembled constantly, and even as blood seeped from his skin, he gritted his teeth and forcibly controlled it.
"Now! Activate, Tenseigan!"
Accompanied by his roar, the still-struggling Tenseigan suddenly erupted with a massive burst of light.
That light transformed into an enormous pillar of light, shining brightly and conspicuously in the night.
As if carrying an unstoppable force, it heavily slammed down towards Takemi and the Third Elder.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, the earth shook. A tangible energy wave, like a surging tide, instantly surged outwards.
As this terrifying power swept around, light reappeared within the extremely dark moon, which had lost its artificial sun.
But this time, there was no gentle breeze or bright sun. Large swathes of the ground were torn up as far as the eye could see.
Distant islands instantly disintegrated, and in the blink of an eye, they were both evaporated by the churning waves and devoured by them.
The ground continuously collapsed, the entire moon trembled, and it was clearly visible even from the Ninja World.
Inside Konoha, more and more people noticed the situation on the moon.
Not just them, the entire Ninja World perceived this anomaly.
"Damn it, what in the world is going on?!"
"Is the moon going crazy? Or…"
"Look, what's that?!"
Suddenly, someone sensed something, and they pointed in horror at the moon in the sky, letting out incredulous cries.
As their voices rang out, many people looked up at the starry sky, and in the next moment, they were all stunned.
They vaguely seemed to see a pillar of light roaring out from within the moon. Countless meteorites were affected at this moment, scattering in all directions.
Inside the moon, the First Elder panted continuously, his body completely shriveled.
"Is it over?"
Already at the end of his rope, he had to both fight for control and forcibly control the Tenseigan's eruption, which was fatal for him.
But if this could eliminate a person from the Heavens, prevent the sealed one from appearing, and protect Toneri…
"Everything is worth it!"
He panted, looking at the collapsing interior of the moon, and murmured, but in the next moment, his breath hitched.
"Worth it?"
A light voice sounded in his ear, and his body was silently cut in half.
He watched himself fall to the ground, saw the blood all over, and saw Takemi standing right behind him.
"You…"
He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but unfortunately, he couldn't make a sound.
Only despair remained in his eyes, disparity at the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
Takemi walked directly towards the giant, now dim Tenseigan, merely glancing at him indifferently as he passed.
"How regrettable, you couldn't even manage to entertain me."
But just as his words fell, his gaze inadvertently swept around.
That feeling of being watched was growing stronger and stronger.
