Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-441

--- Chapter 438 ---

"So, Little Girl. Who are you?" Yunlong stared at the girl who possessed Tenseigan with great interest. After all, aside from Hamura's Descendant on the Moon, he couldn't think of anyone who could awaken Tenseigan, an evolved version of Byakugan.

Meanwhile, the white-haired girl struggled on the ground, but something indescribable happened in her young heart when her Tenseigan met his crimson eyes.

The eyes with blue pupils and white flower patterns dilated as if they were meeting their superiors.

There is a faint connection between her and this handsome man.

"M-My name is Hayuri..."

"Otsutsuki Hayuri from the Moon's Branch."

"So, you're a Descendant of Hamura." Yunlong nodded slightly. It seems his guess was pretty much correct. "But calling yourself Otsutsuki is a bit too much."

"And you might not want to be related to them soon."

"Eh?" Otsutsuki Hayuri was stunned. "B-But aren't you the Great Ancestor..."

"Stop right there." Yunlong stopped her lips with his finger. "I never admitted that I was your Ancestor."

"That cowardly fellow Tenji was a complete loser, and I would never admit his existence."

'But you're literally his reincarnation?' Otsutsuki Hayuri was speechless.

Even Uchiha Madara found Yunlong's words amusing because he doesn't admit to being Indra's reincarnation. If Uchiha Madara ever admits to such a messy family line, Yunlong is his grandfather.

Yeah, fuck that!

Yunlong glanced at the Moon in the morning sky and commented, "Still, I didn't expect Hamura's Descendants to live well in that place. The living conditions are so bad, and you guys also had an internal conflict."

Hayuri lowered her head because Yunlong was right. Their branch is dying and left with three members only now.

"Maybe you should make your appearance, Toneri." Yunlong faintly smiled while calling out to someone. "Trust me, you don't want me to make a move."

'H-How did the Great Ancestor know about Toneri-nii sama.' Otsutsuki Hayuri's eyes widened in astonishment. She hasn't uttered anything but her name earlier.

A light projection descended on the island slowly and revealed a white-robed figure. He's pale-skinned with shaggy white hair, attractive facial features, and six tomoes designs tattooed on his collarbones to resemble a necklace.

Interestingly, he kept his eyes shut while greeting everyone with a bow and polite smile.

"Niisama!" Otsutsuki Hayuri blurted.

"Forgive my pardon, Great Ancestor, and everyone." Otsutsuki Toneri said while lowering his head. "My dear sister is doing her job to observe the earth and unexpectedly offend one of you."

"I'm willing to discipline her with my hands and compensate for your discomfort."

"No, you don't have to do that." Yunlong casually returned.

"However, I'm more interested in your future sights. Have you seen anything recently, Toneri?"

Otsutsuki Toneri raised his brow slightly and answered, "I don't think that's appropriate, Great Ancestor. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to tell you, but the place is..."

"Don't worry." Yunlong waved his hand. "No one would say a word. These people are trustworthy."

"Unless Madara wanted to be pouty-mouthed."

"Shut up. I won't say a damn thing about this meeting." Uchiha Madara snorted.

"Uchiha Madara..." Otsutsuki Toneri glanced at the infamous Ghost of the Uchiha. This man is also the thief of their branch's Demon Statue of the Outer Path, also known as Gedo Mazō.

However, that was in the past.

Twelve years ago, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke aided in returning and resealing the Gede Mazo on the Moon. It was awkward because Toneri conflicted with Uzumaki Naruto a few years prior.

"You heard the grumpy guy." Yunlong chuckled heartfully. "Not to mention, this place is many times safer than your Moon's base."

"Then..." Otsutsuki Toneri parted his mouth.

"I do have a vision about the future, but they are changing dramatically because of your appearance, Great Ancestors."

"So, I can only see some unclear images."

Yunlong rubbed his chin, "Interesting, go on."

Otsutsuki Toneri opened his eyes and revealed another pair of Tenseigan, which caused Yunlong's eyes to light up slightly. Those eyes are genuine and don't come from the Hyuga Clan's Members.

"The Shinobi World would fall to another chaos soon." He sighed and told Yunlong everything.

"The Otsutsuki Clan would invade the Shinobi World with everything they had, and the Land of Snow would become the battlefield. The Estimated time is unknown, so we must prepare everything."

"Great Ancestor and Great Mother will lead everyone in this war, but I can't see whether we could win or lose later."

"Ah, I also know your otherworldly companions are strong, and they couldn't use their full power here. I have prepared an artifact that could allow them to bypass the world's limitations for a few minutes."

"What kind of artifacts are you talking about?" Yunlong tilted his head in wonder. He didn't remember that the Otsutsuki Clan's Branch possessed such artifacts.

Otsutsuki Toneri smiled, "These artifacts were made by Ancestor Hamura in case the people of Great Mother feared to come. The problem is no one could use it."

"Even at my full power, I can only use these artifacts for 2-3 seconds maximal."

Yunlong gazed at Otsutsuki Toneri deeply and noticed something, "You..."

"I see, so that's why."

"You have exhausted your potential and couldn't grow stronger anymore, right? Those Tenseigan sucked them dry."

Otsutsuki Toneri shook his head gently and replied, "For the peace of this world, I have to make some sacrifices. There is also my sister, who could take my seat anytime."

"I alerted the Main Clan over a decade ago because I tried to destroy the earth. Of course, I failed and had a change of heart. Unfortunately, they recently sent representatives to start the harvest."

"Representatives. Are you talking about the fatty and shorty?" Yunlong said jokingly.

Otsutsuki Toneri looked at Yunlong in surprise before chuckling, "I'm not brave enough to call Otsutsuki Kinshiki and Otsutsuki Momoshiki those names, but yes. They should be the representatives of the Main Clan."

"I assumed the Great Ancestor had repelled them off this world?"

"Temporarily, yes. Kaguya told me to let them run so we could trap and finish them later." Yunlong shrugged casually.

"Wait, you met the Otsutsuki?" Uchiha Madara's eyes twinkled in amazement.

"Why didn't you bring me along?"

Yunlong smirked, "It happened right after we separated yesterday. Even if I called you, you are already on the other side of the world."

Uchiha Madara's face darkened, "That's no excuse. You could teleport me. No, I can teleport using Flying Thunder God if you give me the coordinates."

"I wasn't thinking of that earlier, my bad." Yunlong brushed the Ghost of Uchiha off.

"Tsk, you hog all the fun." Uchiha Madara has decided to stay around this time. Since trouble always followed Yunlong, he might as well stay on his side.

Hashirama can wait.

If Yunlong knew what this battle maniac was thinking, he would have scolded him for being mean to his only friend.

You're coming here for Senju Hashirama.

Why did your goal suddenly change to fight the Otsutsukis?

This guy is no good.

Anyway, back to Otsutsuki Toneri.

The Tenseigan owner glanced at the four beautiful goddesses in the area and dropped a fact bomb, "Strictly speaking, my mother actually has met you once, Great Ancestor."

"Your mother?" Yunlong frowned slightly. "I don't think I have ever gone to the Moon before."

"Not the Moon of this world, that is." After all, Yunlong's presence has changed the Shinobi World in one way or another.

Otsutsuki Toneri nodded, "That's correct."

"You actually met her on the earth."

"Her name is Sara."

"Sara..." Yunlong racked his brain for a second.

He stared at Otsutsuki Toneri unsurely, "Don't tell me the Queen of Roran is your mother?"

Otsutsuki Toneri smiled wryly, "Yes. After escaping the ruin of Roran, she and her people arrived at the Moon by chance. At the time, my father had just taken the Branch Clan under his control and fancied her unique power and beauty."

"One event led to another, and several years later..."

"She gave birth to me in this world."

"My mother is already so old, but then she becomes pregnant with my sister. We tried our best to keep her healthy, but things are going uncontrollable."

"Great Ancestor, is there any Otherworldly Power that could recover one vitality and lifespan?" He stopped beating around the bush.

"And why should Yunlong help your mother?" Bibi Dong's voice rang on the island.

Otsutsuki Toneri flinched because Bibi Dong released a bit of her Divine Presence. "May I know your identity, madam?" He bowed to her.

Bibi Dong lifted her head slightly, "Bibi Dong, the Empress of the Bright Spirit Empire."

"And one of his wives." She pointed at Yunlong.

Otsutsuki Toneri paled and lowered his tone, "This, please forgive my rudeness. I wish the Great Ancestor to be magnanimous and help my mother."

"Without her, I'm afraid the Moon would fall."

"What do you mean?"

"That's because our mother's life is 'directly' connected to the Giant Tenseigan(Energy Vessel!" Otsutsuki Hayuri cried.

"If she passes away, the Giant Tenseigan(Energy Vessel) will disappear permanently, and the Moon will start crumbling."

Otsutsuki Toneri hugged his younger sister, "It was my fault. If I didn't try to destroy the world that the Sage of Sixth Path created, our mother wouldn't use her sealing power and fix the Giant Tenseigan(Energy Vessel)."

"So, please... Great Ancestor!"

"Aih, stop calling me that," Yunlong sighed heavily. "Fine, let's meet your mother."

"Thank you, thank you so much, Great Ancestor." Otsutsuki Toneri and his younger sister couldn't help but bow in gratefulness.

After that, Otsutsuki Toneri led them to the Moon.
