"...If this keeps going, defeat is only a matter of ti."
Hiashi watched from within the Tenseigan's field of vision as Uchiha Keizumi's Susanoo had already ford, and his heart grew heavy.
He had originally believed that with the power of the Tenseigan, even Uchiha Keizumi would not be his match.
But reality had slapped him hard in the face. The innate abilities of the Tenseigan simply could not break through Keizumi's Susanoo defenses. Only by relying on his own Tenseigan Rotation had he barely managed to open up the situation.
Yet Keizumi's strength far exceeded his expectations. Though the Tenseigan Rotation possessed both overwhelming destructive power and formidable defense, from beginning to end, he had never once managed to touch Keizumi himself.
"It's not that the Tenseigan is weak... it's that Uchiha Keizumi is absurdly strong!"
Hiashi let out a quiet sigh in his heart. Seeing the massive Armored Wood Golem launch another attack toward him, he forcibly cast aside all distracting thoughts.
He had to try again—try one more ti to land an attack on Keizumi!
After all, most of the Hyūga clan's abilities required close combat. As long as he could break through Keizumi's defenses, Hiashi was absolutely confident he could subdue him in a short ti.
If even that failed... then his only option would be to find a way to retreat with the Hyūga main branch elders!
Rotation! Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!
The already seemingly indestructible blue sphere suddenly began to erupt with pale-blue vacuum shockwaves.
At a glance, these shockwaves looked no different from the Hyūga clan's Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.
But when those shockwaves occasionally struck the ground or rocks, they blasted out terrifyingly large craters.
However, in the face of Hiashi's counterattack, Keizumi showed almost no reaction from beginning to end.
The armored wooden golem was entwined with a Wood Dragon, clad in pale violet Susanoo armor, and in its hands it gripped a vajra pestle.
Those incoming Vacuum Palm shockwaves, upon colliding with the Armored Wood Golem, only produced faint ripples—unable to even break through its outermost armor.
In the next instant, the massive golem wielding the vajra pestle made a move that defied all reason.
A massive object should be burdened by imnse resistance—its movents should not be fast.
Yet at this mont, the Armored Wood Golem constructed by Keizumi moved with overwhelming force, like a landslide crashing down.
That extre transition from stillness to motion brought an indescribable pressure, an overwhelming impact beyond comparison.
The nearly indestructible pale-blue sphere was sent flying in an instant by the golem's vajra pestle—and what followed was even more shocking.
The golem moved with the agility of a shinobi. To Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, their vision blurred—and in the next mont, Keizumi had already appeared in front of the pale-blue sphere again, striking the sa point once more.
High in the sky, the colossal golem—comparable to a mountain—raced through the air.
Though it had no ability to fly, by using the recoil from each strike against the Tenseigan Rotation, Keizumi managed to remain airborne for an extended period!
Inside the Tenseigan Rotation, Hiashi was completely dazed by the continuous blows.
Through the Tenseigan's perspective, he could see the scenery around him constantly shifting. Even the chakra of the Tenseigan was being rapidly consud.
He tried to gather strength to counterattack, but the golem's movents were far too agile—so agile that every ti it struck his Rotation with the vajra pestle, it had already shifted to another position.
The relentless barrage of blows only caused the cost of maintaining the Tenseigan Rotation to grow ever greater.
Far in the distance, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hiruzen, and the ANBU ninjas were utterly shaken by the scene before them.
Thunderous sounds echoed across the heavens. From afar, it sounded as though the sky itself were roaring, as if lightning were flashing.
But anyone with functioning eyes could see clearly—
Those were the deafening impacts of Keizumi's Armored Wood Golem striking the Tenseigan Rotation.
For a fleeting mont, it even felt as though so primordial Thunder God was beating upon his divine drum!
And Hyūga Hiashi—was that drum.
As ti passed, as the thunder-like sounds grew faster and more intense, Hiashi finally sensed sothing was wrong.
He saw it clearly—Keizumi's vajra pestle was striking the sa exact point on his Rotation every single ti!
Although each strike inevitably wore down the pestle, Keizumi's ocular power would replenish it in the shortest ti possible.
Hundreds… nearly a thousand concentrated strikes—
Even his Tenseigan Rotation was now on the verge of collapse.
Or rather—it was only a hair's breadth away from shattering!
"Black Zetsu, that man is going to lose!"
"This Uchiha Keizumi is terrifying… Are we really going to fight him?"
White Zetsu and Black Zetsu erged atop a tree, watching the battle in the sky from afar.
For the first ti, White Zetsu realized that combat could possess such a unique beauty.
The massive Armored Wood Golem pushed both size and speed to their extres. Every landing point was so precise, so exact, it seed as though it were dancing upon the Tenseigan Rotation itself—a divine dance belonging to a god.
And the thunderous sounds—no longer resembled the noise of battle, but rather celestial music accompanying a god's performance.
"He hasn't truly mastered the power of the Tenseigan."
"And he only has one Tenseigan…"
Even as Black Zetsu marveled at Keizumi's control over the golem, his attention was drawn to the enormous Tenseigan behind Hiashi.
The Rotation was beginning to falter—Hiashi and the Tenseigan were already being exposed.
"I think I've figured out the origin of this Tenseigan…"
Black Zetsu muttered softly.
As the blue chakra surrounding Hiashi grew increasingly faint, a thick greed appeared in Black Zetsu's gaze toward the Tenseigan.
At this point, he no longer cared whether Hiashi lived or died.
All he cared about—was that massive Tenseigan.
He wanted to seize it.
As long as he could take that Tenseigan away, even if every other plan failed, he could simply wait a few more years—and when the ti was right, directly activate the power of the giant Tenseigan!
Buzz—
In the sky, with a faint tremor, the blue sphere ford by the Tenseigan's chakra finally shattered completely.
And at the very instant it broke—the vajra pestle in the Armored Wood Golem's hands slamd violently into Hyūga Hiashi once more.
