"What…?"

Kuroto was already in an exhausted state; coupled with several injuries, he couldn't react fast enough to dodge, and the same was Shisui's situation as both of them were attacked by lightning snakes. ​​

Instantly they were paralyzed due to being shocked, as a result of which Shisui's Susanoo that was already fading now completely disappeared.

"Hahaha… Finally got rid of that troublesome Jutsu!"

Seeing that the attack succeeds, Fuji who was hiding in the distance couldn't stop himself from laughing.

whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…

At the same time, one-after-another, figures of more than a hundred cloud ninjas as reinforcements appeared at the valley.

Upon seeing the chaos in the valley, the secret warehouse being submerged in the blazing fire, as well as the corpses of cloud ninjas lying all over the place. These cloud ninjas who came to support couldn't help but be shocked!

The leader of command Kurapa directly questioned Fuji who was responsible for guarding the secret warehouse: "Fuji, what the hell is going on here? Why didn't you protect the secret warehouse?"

Fuji could only helplessly reply, "We were attacked by Konoha's elite troops!"

"Elite troops!?" Kurapa curled his lips in anger and spoke while pointing his finger towards the injured and paralyzed Kuroto and Shisui, "Just two brats? You dare call them Konoha's Elite Troops!? Have you become so incompetent, that you can't even deal with two little devils!?"

Fuji snorted at Kurapa's words, "Just two Little Devils? Humph, take a good look around you, these two little devils killed more than two-hundred of us!"

Upon hearing Fuji's words, Kurapa and other cloud ninjas looked around and found that only the corpses of cloud ninjas were lying all around, in the entire valley; aside from the paralyzed Kuroto and Shisui, there was no sign of any other Konoha shinobi whether dead or alive.

With this alone Kurapa realized that for these two brats to have done such serious damage on their side, they are indeed not so simple as you would expect considering their young age, so, he immediately stated, "I will torture out all the information in their heads, while the rest watch out for the reinforcement from the enemy sides!"

Fuji only shrugged, "Do as you please, two more of the brats have escaped, I am going to pursue them now!"

Kuroto who was injured due to the lightning snake couldn't even use the slightest of his strength. Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, even if he tried to force it, his heart couldn't stay calm!

As Kurapa was walking towards him, Kuroto felt more and more danger.

He tried thinking of whatever he could use, but there was no solution he could arrive at.

'Is this really it? I made a promise to him… I can't let it end here…!'

This was the only thought going into his mind, but unfortunately, there were no signs of hope.

'Something… anything…!'

As if hearing Kuroto's plea, he suddenly felt an unfamiliar force surging.

'This is…!?'

The power seemed to be hidden far away in the sky, yet it seemed especially close to him.

What surprised him more was the kindness it directed towards him along with the huge amount of energy.

Yes, it was the kindness, kindness of a father? A Grandfather? Their Forefather or maybe a Distant Ancestor?

This energy that seemed within his reach yet out of his control attracted all his attention, it re-ignited his desire to survive, reminded him of the thought of surviving from death and accomplish what he dreams of.

With this reignited hope, Kuroto tried to raise his hand with all the strength he could muster.

Kurapa who was walking towards him sneered as he saw Kuroto struggling to move, "Don't struggle brat, after getting what I want, I will let you die without pain!"

Shisui on the side also looked at struggling Kuroto, he believes that Kuroto-Kun wouldn't do any meaningless action, so he was ready to sacrifice a Mangekyou by using Kotoamatsukami to control Kurapa.

Because of the lack of chakra, it is obviously impossible for Shisui to use Kotoamatsukami normally, so the only option he has left is to use it forcibly by sacrificing one eye.

But as long as Kurapa is controlled, he and Kuroto-Kun will be able to escape from here, so it is undoubtedly worth it.

He had already started accumulating Pupil Power in his left eye.

However, before he could fully launch the strongest genjutsu, Kuroto, who finally managed to raise his hand, grabbed the non-existent space.

Seeing Kuroto's action Kurapa raised the corner of one eye while thinking to himself, 'Is consciousness so blurred? That's good, it would be much easier to extract information from ---!'

However, before he could finish the thought, something happened that left him stunned.

Not only Kurapa but all the surrounding Cloud ninjas, even Fuji who was about to leave to follow-up after Guy and Kakashi, as well as Shisui who was gathering pupil power in his left eye to cast Kotoamatsukami were stunned.

In everyone's perception as soon as Kuroto's grabbed into the void, a huge Chakra reaction erupted from his body shining like a pillar of blue light illuminating the night sky.

The chakra reaction was so great that both Kurapa and Fuji who had seen a tailed beast were shaken.

As soon as the chakra erupted, his body started floating up and visible to the naked eye all the injuries and numbness on his body disappeared instantly and was replaced by a feeling of overwhelming and endless power.

"This… what the hell is going on?" Honestly, Kuroto was no less shocked than the others.

Although he felt the kindness and acceptance from this force, he was certain it wasn't the power of his Tenseigan.

Before he could make any judgments, some images started to appear in his mind.

'It's hand seal printing!?' – Kuroto did not know what this hand seal printing method is used for, just out of the instinctual trust he felt towards the source, he performed the seals one-by-one according to the images he saw.

Ram – Tiger – Boar – Tiger

...…. Whooooshh!!!...

As soon as he completed the hand seal printing, Kuroto gained a cyan-colored Chakra shroud with six magatamas marking on his collar, dark markings over his eyebrows, and lower eyelids.

The shroud constantly radiated flickering flames of Chakra, and his clothing and hair continuously billowed upwards as if caught in an upward breeze as he floated in mid-air akin to a God!

And that's not it, immediately afterward several orbs of black malleable chakra flashed from the center of his eyebrows, and floated around him.

"T-tenseigan Chakra Mode!? The printing method just now was to turn on the Tenseigan Chakra Mode!!?" – Kuroto was out of his wits as he discovered the state, he was in.

It was only now that he understood the source of the energy that is helping him, he still couldn't help but think as to why did it help him out right now?

But it was obviously not the time for him to entangle himself in these things.

Suppressing all the mixed thoughts in his heart, and directing all his attention towards the only objective in front of him, Kuroto made sure that he must eliminate all the Cloud ninja here, not only to ensure his and Shisui's safety but also to make sure there are no witnesses left to remember the events that took place here to ensure that his Tenseigan doesn't get exposed!

After making up his mind, Kuroto pointed his hand towards Shisui and dragged him along with the ground he was sitting on into the air, all while his other hand was slowly raised and aimed in the direction of the valley.

The nine Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him immediately merged, as he focused his chakra through them, and muttered in an emotionless tone, "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

Following Kuroto's call the chakra he focused on the Truth-Seeking Balls created a powerful silvery typhoon, and the target of this gust was the entire valley along with all the cloud shinobi.

…

On the Moon.

In the Otsutsuki Family Hall.

A grey-haired, old man suddenly opened his cloudy white eyes, and muttered in a surprised tone, "Who is using the power of the giant Tenseigan!?"

Without any hesitation, he immediately got up and rushed towards the temple.

At the same time, two more elders also rushed towards the temple just like him.

"What is happening, who is drawing chakra from the Tensiagn?"

"Only three of us can control the Tenseigan, then how come…?"

The oldest of the three said at this time: "No matter who is it, firstly put a seal on the Tenseigan and cut off any external chakra output!"

"Yes!"

Having decided the course, the three of them made several hand seals, then spoke in a unison, "Fuin Kekkai!"

With the combined seal from the three elders, the twinkling of the giant Tenseigan dimmed slightly…
