Chapter 195

That's right,

this was the first thought that flashed through Otsutsuki Aoshi's mind.

In his eyes,

Hyuga Tenzou's strength was truly a bit too weak!!

It made him hesitate a little about his original plan.

"Hello, Clan Leader Aoshi…"

With a slight nod,

Hyuga Tenzou also showed his respect to Otsutsuki Aoshi.

Feeling the aura on Otsutsuki Aoshi above the seat and the auras of the people around him,

Hyuga Tenzou could not help but feel a little nervous!!

These members of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon,

their strength was terrifyingly strong!!

Especially Otsutsuki Aoshi, who sat upon the throne,

the terrifying aura emanating from him

was actually on par with Hashirama Senju!!

This made Hyuga Tenzou feel even more that his choice this time was right,

he had come to the right place!!

There was indeed a way here to let him turn the situation around,

and defeat Hashirama Senju!!

【Jiraiya: No wonder the First was so eager to unify the entire Land of Fire as soon as possible. One bad apple spoils the bunch. That old fogey Hyuga Tenzou, as a member of the shinobi world, actually ran off to the moon to be some lackey's dog??】

【Orochimaru: Hehe… From the very beginning when he submitted to the First, he never had good intentions. He only had his eyes on the First's powerful strength and the clan behind him. Now that he has a chance to obtain even more powerful strength, he definitely doesn't want to remain subordinate any longer!】

【Shimura Danzo: I'm far too familiar with that look in Hyuga Tenzou's eyes. Those eyes full of ambition could never belong to someone willing to live under another. Even if he hasn't come into conflict with Lord First now, one day he will definitely come into conflict with Lord First!】

【Tsunade: But even if he comes here, he can't possibly find a way to defeat Grandfather. Even Otsutsuki Aoshi, the strongest of the Otsutsuki clan, can't do anything to Grandfather. How could Hyuga Tenzou possibly defeat Grandfather?】

【Tobirama Senju: Little Tsuna, people's perception of themselves is always biased. As long as Hyuga Tenzou can obtain another new power, his confidence will surely swell along with his ambition!】

【Kakashi Hatake: I now have a bad premonition in my heart. The Shimura clan and the Sarutobi clan have already been wiped out. With Hyuga Tenzou acting like this, if he loses to Lord First Hokage, could it be that even the Hyuga clan will be gone too?】

【Nara Shikaku: Hmm… Lord First should have seen through Hyuga Tenzou from the very beginning, which is why he pulled Hyuga Kazuki to his side. Lord First must have foreseen this long ago.】

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Hyuga Tenzou finally sighed, his face full of regret, and said.

"What a pity… Clan Leader Aoshi is not the clan leader of our Hyuga clan."

"Otherwise our Hyuga clan wouldn't be oppressed like this right now…"

Hearing Hyuga Tenzou say this,

a trace of a smile flashed in the depths of Otsutsuki Aoshi's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Hyuga Tenzou slowly spoke out the words he had long since organized in his heart, word by word.

"Speaking of which, it's also because my strength is too weak."

"The clan leader of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju, for the sake of his own ambition, forcibly used force to make our Hyuga clan obey him and fight for him!!"

"Two clans in our country have already been destroyed by his hand."

"And these two clans were always known for their charity, but they still couldn't escape Hashirama Senju's clutches."

·· ········Please send flowers··· ·······

"If this continues, I'm afraid our Hyuga clan… sigh…"

Speaking to this point,

Hyuga Tenzou could not help but let out a deep sigh.

Hearing this,

Otsutsuki Aoshi stood up and walked over to Hyuga Tenzou.

"When Clan Leader Hyuga came to the moon, I had already foreseen it."

"The teleportation array between the shinobi world and the moon has been abandoned for many years; no one has ever activated it."

"Clan Leader Hyuga suddenly coming to the moon must be because he encountered something extremely important, which is why he wanted to seek help from us, his fellow clansmen."

"I wonder if I'm right?"

After Otsutsuki Aoshi walked closer,

Hyuga Tenzou felt even more that the man before him was terrifying.

Just by standing in front of him,

Hyuga Tenzou felt that he could lose his life at any moment!!

He swallowed,

and forced a smile onto his face.

"J-just as Clan Leader Aoshi thinks…"

"I-I came to the moon this time precisely to seek help from the Otsutsuki clan."

"I hope that the Otsutsuki clan, seeing as the Hyuga clan and you share the same bloodline, will be willing to rescue us from Hashirama Senju's clutches…"

Otsutsuki Aoshi forcefully patted Hyuga Tenzou on the shoulder.

"Easy… easy…"

"Our Otsutsuki clan and the Hyuga clan are one and the same; this is common knowledge."

"Your problem is my problem, so naturally I will find a way to help you solve it."

"However, as the Clan Head of the Ōtsutsuki clan, unless something comes up, I naturally cannot leave the Moon so easily."

"But I have another method that can help Clan Head Hyūga raise your own strength — I wonder if you would be willing to give it a try?"

Hearing Ōtsutsuki Aoshi say this,

a hint of wild joy could not help but show itself on Hyūga Tensō's face,

for this was precisely the purpose of his coming to the Moon.

What he sought was a method to raise his own strength,

and if possible,

raising his own strength was naturally the most reliable approach!!

He certainly did not want Ōtsutsuki Aoshi to personally help him deal with Hashirama Senju,

because even if that were the case,

it would merely mean swapping one person above his head for another.

Whether it was Ōtsutsuki Aoshi or Hashirama Senju who emerged victorious,

there would be no benefit for him either way,

for he did not wish to live under anyone's heel!!!

Having finished speaking,

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi pulled a green stone from his bosom.

"This is something our Ōtsutsuki clan spent countless years researching before finally developing it…"

"The Sharingan can be developed into the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Mangekyo Sharingan can further evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan — and even above the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, there exist even stronger dōjutsu…"

"But the Byakugan, which stands shoulder to shoulder with the Sharingan — does it truly have no possibility of further evolution?"

"This is the result our Ōtsutsuki clan has been pursuing through countless years of research!"

"And now, we have successfully completed our experiment."

"Clan Head Hyūga, all you need to do is make a small sacrifice, and you will be able to evolve your Byakugan into a higher-level dōjutsu!!"

"When that time comes, Hashirama Senju will certainly not be your match!!"

Ōtsutsuki Aoshi, like a demon,

ceaselessly whispered temptation into Hyūga Tensō's ear!

He truly was not deceiving Hyūga Tensō —

as long as Hyūga Tensō took the thing he had given him,
