"Tenseigan?"
After hearing Hinata Hyūga's words, Hiashi Hyūga repeated the name in confusion.
He had never heard of something called the Tenseigan before.
And besides...
The Byakugan could evolve?
Obito Uchiha also asked curiously, "What is the Tenseigan?"
Seeing that the two of them were confused, Hanabi Hyūga immediately explained, "Just like how the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Tenseigan is also an evolved form of the Byakugan."
"And... the Tenseigan is a dōjutsu that can stand on the same level as the Rinnegan!"
"What?!"
After hearing Hanabi's words, Obito and Hiashi both gaped in shock.
The fact that the Byakugan could evolve was already shocking enough. Now they were being told that this so-called Tenseigan could rival the Rinnegan...
The Rinnegan was the eye of a sage, something only someone on the level of the Sage of Six Paths could possess!
"Lord Yuzuru, what exactly is going on? Could you explain it to me in detail?"
At this moment, Hiashi no longer had any mind to care about what had happened between Hinata and Yuzuru. His head was now filled entirely with questions about the Tenseigan.
Seeing this, Yuzuru nodded directly.
After all, Hiashi was his father-in-law. It was only right to clear up his confusion.
With that in mind, Yuzuru asked, "Clan Head Hiashi, I told you before that the ancestor of the Hyūga clan was Ōtsutsuki Hamura, correct?"
"Like the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura also possessed a pair of powerful eyes."
"The name of those eyes was the Tenseigan."
Hiashi asked in confusion, "If that is the case, why are there no records in the Hyūga clan about these eyes?"
"And over the past several thousand years, not a single member of the Hyūga clan has ever evolved their Byakugan into the Tenseigan."
Yuzuru said slowly, "Because evolving the Byakugan into the Tenseigan is an extremely difficult task. You could even say it is something almost impossible to achieve."
"Do you know what happened on the Moon in order to obtain the power of the Tenseigan?"
Hiashi shook his head. "I do not..."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with curiosity, Yuzuru began to explain.
"After Ōtsutsuki Hamura settled on the Moon, his descendants gradually multiplied into an entire clan."
"Just like the Hyūga clan in the past, the Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon was also divided into a Main Family and a Branch Family."
"Later, after Hamura died, the Main Family and Branch Family continued to grow in number, but their ideals moved in completely opposite directions."
"The Main Family believed they should not interfere with the development of the Ninja World, while the Branch Family believed the Ninja World should be destroyed and a new order established in its place."
"The conflict between the two sides grew deeper and deeper. In the end, the Branch Family used the eyes of their clansmen to create the Giant Tenseigan, and with the power of the Giant Tenseigan, they wiped out the entire Main Family in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Hinata and the others all felt their pupils shrink.
"So something like that actually happened on the Moon?"
"If Lord Yuzuru had not forcefully interfered, would the Hyūga clan have also walked down that same path?"
After giving them some time to digest it, Yuzuru continued, "Perhaps they were cursed, or perhaps their population was no longer enough to sustain their lineage..."
"After the Main Family was destroyed, the population of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family also grew smaller and smaller."
"After every clan member died, their eyes would be dug out and fused into the Giant Tenseigan."
"Until now, only Ōtsutsuki Toneri remained of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Only then did the opportunity to evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan finally appear."
Hearing this, Hiashi asked in surprise, "Hinata's eyes... did they absorb the power of the Giant Tenseigan?"
"That's right."
Yuzuru nodded. "Hinata's Byakugan possessed extremely high purity, so after I killed Toneri, I transferred all of the Giant Tenseigan's power into her body."
Hiashi sucked in a cold breath and muttered, "I never imagined the conditions for awakening the Tenseigan would be so harsh..."
Originally, when he heard that the Tenseigan could be compared to the Rinnegan, he had excitedly thought that the time had come for the Hyūga clan to regain its former glory.
But now, it seemed that awakening the Tenseigan was a path that could hardly be replicated.
Yuzuru warned them, "What happened today must never be told to anyone. Otherwise, it may very well bring disaster upon the Hyūga clan."
"Do you understand?"
Hiashi, Hinata, Hanabi, and the others all felt their spirits tremble as they said in grave voices, "We understand!"
The human heart was hard to predict.
Although the conditions for awakening the Tenseigan were extremely harsh, if the method were leaked, the Hyūga clan might be plunged into a bloody storm!
"Hinata, show your father the power of the Tenseigan."
"All right."
With a thought, Hinata immediately entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
A terrifying aura soared into the sky, leaving Hiashi and Obito utterly horrified.
From Hinata's body, they sensed an extremely dangerous presence.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Hinata, from now on, you are the pride of our Hyūga clan!"
After his brief shock passed, a smile bloomed on Hiashi's face like a chrysanthemum.
Although the method of awakening the Tenseigan could not be replicated, that did not affect Hinata, who had already awakened it.
As long as Hinata lived, the Byakugan of the Hyūga clan would once again become a Kekkei Genkai capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Sharingan.
Obito was even more excited as he said, "You're Hinata, right? Let's spar sometime when you're free."
Hinata smiled and gave no reply.
Hiashi thought for a moment, then said, "Lord Yuzuru, it was all thanks to you that my two daughters were rescued this time."
"I will personally prepare a banquet tonight. I hope you will honor us with your presence."
Naturally, Yuzuru had no reason to refuse and directly nodded in agreement.
This was also a good opportunity for him to properly speak with Hiashi about Hinata and Hanabi.
That evening, Yuzuru arrived at the banquet on time.
There was no one else at the banquet, only Hiashi and his family.
After exchanging a few casual words, Yuzuru went straight to the point. "Clan Head Hiashi, Hinata, Hanabi, and I can be considered to have gone through life and death together. In addition, we have feelings for one another, so there is something I still need to obtain your approval for."
Hiashi glanced at Hinata and Hanabi, who both had their heads lowered and remained silent, and felt as if his heart were bleeding.
The two daughters he had painstakingly raised were actually going to serve the same man in the future...
Was there any father-in-law in the world more miserable than him?
