Ōtsutsuki Toneri stood beside the giant Tenseigan on the moon, and by now he had made up his mind.
If that Great Tenseigan were still in Konoha, he honestly wouldn't have had much courage to force his way in and seize it. After all, through the moon's Tenseigan, he had already seen the absurd, illogical level of Uchiha Chizumi's power.
But if that Great Tenseigan had been stolen by soone else…
Then even if Toneri took it away himself, he could still rightfully say he was rely returning it to its rightful owner. After all, the Byakugan clan in the shinobi world was originally just a branch of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon. The moon's Ōtsutsuki had a perfectly legitimate claim to it.
More importantly, if Toneri could obtain that second Tenseigan, then with just an ordinary pair of Byakugan, he would likely be able to awaken his own Tenseigan.
Faced with the temptation of awakening the Tenseigan, Toneri was willing to take the risk.
"But I still need to wait for an opportunity."
"I need to wait until the people guarding that Tenseigan leave."
Although Toneri longed for the other Tenseigan, he did not act rashly. Through the strange resonance between the two Tenseigan, he had already seen the bizarre space-ti power Obito possessed.
Before obtaining a Tenseigan of his own, Toneri wasn't at all sure he could defeat Uchiha Obito.
And while Yakushi Kabuto and Jūgo were beginning to eye Ōnoki's corpse, and Toneri on the moon had already made preparations to descend to the shinobi world, Uchiha Chizumi finally woke up.
"Chizumi!"
The mont Kitsujiro saw him open his eyes again, the delight in his face was impossible to hide.
He had spent a full three days dragging Chizumi around and hiding him. If Chizumi still hadn't woken up, Kitsujiro had honestly started fearing that he'd never wake up at all.
"Thanks for the help, Kitsujiro."
Uchiha Chizumi stretched his body, which hadn't moved in a long ti. Now that those emotional chakra influences were gone, he felt better than ever.
The existence of two Truth-Seeking Orbs ant that his control over Six Paths power had deepened again.
And the strengthening of the kekkei mōra power had pushed his Radiance Release even further.
If Chizumi had to fight Satori again now, he wouldn't be limited to the sa straightforward way of using Radiance Release as before—simply throwing out a Radiance Release sun sphere.
He could now compress that power and shape it into a blade of light carrying the ultimate power of destruction.
"And not just that—my speed has gotten even faster."
"Even without Flying Thunder God, just relying on the power of Radiance Release, I can briefly turn into light…"
Uchiha Chizumi felt that his Radiance Release had beco sothing like a fusion of Akainu's and Kizaru's abilities. Its blistering temperature inherited the sa lineage as Lava Release, while Akainu's power was magma itself.
And once Radiance Release had been pushed another step further, while he still couldn't fully elentalize, he could briefly rge with light, allowing him to move at unbelievable speed—not just for travel, but even in battle.
"And beyond that, while watching the evolution of kekkei mōra this ti, I also learned how to synthesize the Ice Release kekkei genkai."
"Once I master Ice Release too, then Absolute Justice, Ambiguous Justice, and…"
"Well, anyway, justice will be completely in my hands."
Uchiha Chizumi really didn't like the sound of Aokiji's so-called "Lazy Justice." Kizaru's "Unclear Justice" might not be sothing he approved of, but it was at least sothing he could tolerate.
But Lazy Justice…
If justice beca lazy, could it even still be called justice?
After moving his body around a bit, Chizumi didn't stay there any longer.
Most of the evildoers in the Grass Country had already been killed, but he still rembered the way the Grass ninja had scattered and fled. He wanted to use this chance to wipe out all the remaining wicked people in the Grass Country.
As Uchiha Chizumi once again began appearing throughout the Grass Country, in another part of the world, the daimyo of the Land of Earth, Land of Wind, and Land of Lightning had, for once, gathered together.
"The ninja of Iwagakure are already starting to disobey us!"
The daimyo of the Land of Earth looked grim as he addressed the other two. As the ruler of the country with the most ninja, the Earth Daimyo held extrely high standing among the daimyo, and that was one of the reasons he had always been willing to fund Iwagakure.
"It's not just Iwagakure. Kumogakure's ninja are getting disobedient too!"
"I've sent the Raikage several ssages already, ordering him to move his forces, and he's ignored every one of them!"
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning looked just as dark. When their own hidden villages no longer obeyed them, while outside there was a man like Uchiha Chizumi killing daimyo, they genuinely no longer felt their lives were secure.
After the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the daimyo of the Land of Lightning spoke in turn, the daimyo of the Land of Wind remained silent.
That was because the Land of Wind had always ranked near the bottom among the Five Great Nations in strength, and that ant his own standing among the daimyo was comparatively weak. It also made him look down on Sunagakure's attitude.
Still, seeing the other two daimyo speaking, he could only vaguely add that Sunagakure's ninja no longer showed him much respect either.
"This is all because of that Uchiha Chizumi from the Land of Fire!"
"For a thousand years in the shinobi world, the authority of the daimyo has always stood supre, and no ninja ever dared lay a hand on us."
"After that Uchiha Chizumi of the Land of Fire killed the daimyo of the Land of Fire, then the daimyo of the Land of Water, and now the daimyo of the Grass Country as well, other ninja have started losing their fear of us daimyo!"
"We must find a way to eliminate Uchiha Chizumi!"
"Only by killing him can we make the shinobi world understand again that daimyo are not to be trifled with!"
The Earth Daimyo's eyes glead with malice. He truly hated Uchiha Chizumi. If not for Chizumi repeatedly killing daimyo, he never would have lowered himself to contacting the daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind.
"If we can't move the hidden villages, then the only option is to make the other ninja in our countries move."
"We can gather the other ninja within our borders, and even assemble the rōnin and samurai. Pooling the strength of our three nations together, even without the hidden villages, we can still raise an army of ten thousand ninja!"
"And once that allied ninja army takes shape, ten thousand n should be enough to bury Uchiha Chizumi under sheer numbers!"
"At the sa ti, it will also make the Kage of those hidden villages realize that we daimyo are not people who can only depend on them!"
The Lightning Daimyo laid out his plan. Not every ninja in the Five Great Nations ca from the hidden villages. Outside them, there were still other ninja clans and even small concentrations of wandering ninja.
And now, he intended to use those forces.
More than that—he was already thinking about propping up entirely new hidden villages within their own countries.
