"The purer the Byakugan, the easier it is to awaken the Tenseigan.
For example, your Byakugan. Throughout the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan, there is no Byakugan purer than yours. Moreover, you seem to have perfected your bloodline through some means.
Now, you are only one catalyst away from awakening the Tenseigan."
"Can you help me?" Asana asked.
"I can, but it's better for you to find this catalyst yourself than for me to directly grant you power. After all, the Tenseigan is right here, and now it is under your control."
As soon as Ōtsutsuki Hamura finished speaking, Asana felt a wonderful connection with this giant Tenseigan.
She could manipulate this Tenseigan to do anything.
"Why give it to me? Shouldn't the Tenseigan belong to the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
"The Hyuga and Ōtsutsuki Clans are originally one family. Moreover, due to my neglect of the Hyuga Clan, your Branch Family has suffered misfortune over the years. I am giving you the Tenseigan, hoping that you can use its Eye power to break the Caged Bird Seal and grant freedom to all members of the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family.
Of course, I also have conditions and selfish motives. Would you like to hear them?"
Asana nodded.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura smiled upon hearing this: "Very good! Asana, I have two requests. First, I hope that after you help the Branch Family break the Caged Bird Seal, you will not harm the members of the Main Family."
Asana was silent for a moment before saying, "I can only guarantee their lives at most."
"That's enough! I'm already very grateful that you can see them as one family and give them a chance."
"What's the other request?" Asana asked.
"Asana, the enemies faced by the Ninja World are not only internal but also external. Those people my mother feared will eventually come to the Ninja World. I hope you can use the power of the Tenseigan to fight against them and protect this world."
"I'm not interested in protecting the world, but I have people I care about, and I will fight to protect them."
"Good! That's enough. Asana, I'm very happy to meet a junior like you. I hope we can meet again.
Finally, the catalyst you need is in this castle. A Tenseigan awakened by yourself, by drawing on its power, has a higher potential than one I directly grant you. You are only one step away now, so keep it up!" With that, Ōtsutsuki Hamura disappeared from Asana's consciousness.
With Ōtsutsuki Hamura's departure, Asana's consciousness space was left with only her soul and a giant Tenseigan, like a brilliant full moon.
Feeling the power of the Tenseigan up close, Asana felt an unprecedented sense of excitement.
She manipulated the Tenseigan's Eye power to attach to her Byakugan.
The next second, the Caged Bird Seal that had plagued her for years melted away instantly, like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, the moment it was touched by the Tenseigan's Eye power.
Only the Strength of a Hundred Seal, taught to her by Tsunade, remained on Asana's glabella.
From four years old until today, after so many years, finally freed from the control of the Caged Bird Seal, Asana's expression was dazed.
But she quickly calmed down. Now was not the time for her to be happy; Uchiha En still had trouble!
Thinking of this, Asana slowly opened her eyes. The few members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family immediately gathered around and asked, "Asana, you resonated with the Tenseigan just now. Can you control it?"
Asana nodded.
"That's great! I thought the Tenseigan had been tampered with by the Branch Family, making it impossible for us to control," Otsutsuki Kyojin said with a sigh of relief.
"It wasn't the Branch Family who rejected you just now, but Ōtsutsuki Hamura. He wants me to use the Tenseigan's Eye power to remove the Caged Bird Seal from the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family," Asana explained, then signaled Shisui to turn back.
Otsutsuki Kyojin was stunned, mouth agape, upon hearing Asana mention Ōtsutsuki Hamura's name.
"She... what did she just say?"
"Young Master Kyojin, she mentioned Ancestor Hamura."
"How is that possible!"
"I'm also a bit skeptical. Let's go over and see first," Otsutsuki Rinne suggested.
Otsutsuki Kyojin nodded, signaling everyone to turn back together.
With the Tenseigan's Eye power, Asana effortlessly dealt with all the Branch Family members.
Uchiha En also lifted his genjutsu.
The Ōtsutsuki Branch Family Head was dumbfounded by the scene before him.
"Why were you able to snatch control of the Tenseigan from me?"
"I didn't snatch it; Ōtsutsuki Hamura gave it to me," Asana said expressionlessly.
Hearing Ōtsutsuki Hamura's name, the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family Head was also filled with surprise. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Since Ancestor Hamura granted control of the Tenseigan, why are you helping them? You should be destroying the Ninja World with me!"
"Why should I destroy the Ninja World?"
"Because this is Ancestor Hamura's will. Everything our Branch Family does is to inherit Ancestor Hamura's will and correct the Ninja World when problems arise."
Before Asana could retort, the Main Family members nearby couldn't sit still.
"You're talking nonsense! Ancestor Hamura's will is definitely not like this!"
"Heh! You Main Family members are the ones who truly don't understand Ancestor Hamura's will.
You Main Family are timid and afraid of trouble. For a thousand years, the Ninja World has been plagued by wars. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's world has clearly failed and should be destroyed, yet you keep talking about peaceful coexistence. It's truly laughable."
Otsutsuki Kyojin laughed angrily at the Branch Family Head's remarks: "We're laughable? Don't you understand even now? Just four descendants of Ancestor Hagoromo could break through the heavy defenses on the moon and capture you. If we really went to war with the people of the Ninja World, it would lead to the destruction of our Ōtsutsuki Clan!"
The Branch Family Head snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Alarmist talk. We have the Tenseigan! Didn't you see? The Tenseigan's Eye power instantly destroyed that deep blue giant just now?"
If I fully activate the Tenseigan, the Ninja World will surely be destroyed in an instant."
"Unfortunately, you won't, or rather, you don't dare to fully activate the Tenseigan. You and I both know how powerful the Tenseigan's Eye power is.
If you fully activate the Tenseigan, although it can unleash immense power, the ultimate cost would be the destruction of the moon. You simply cannot do that," Otsutsuki Kyojin said with a cold expression.
