By the time Makoto and the others arrived at the palace where Hamura resided, they witnessed two groups of people fighting each other in a chaotic, earth-shattering battle.
One group was larger in number. Their eye sockets were hollow and empty, devoid of eyeballs, as they madly charged at their opponents.
The other group was smaller in number, and like the Hyuga Clan on Earth, they possessed a pair of pure white eyes.
However, they did not have the bulging veins that typically accompanied the Byakugan's awakening in the Hyuga Clan.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Makoto immediately guessed that these two factions were the descendants of Hamura left behind on the moon.
Like the Hyuga Clan, they were divided into the main family and the branch family.
"Why are they fighting?"
Nijika stood behind Makoto, poking her head out and asking curiously.
Makoto said casually:
"It's probably due to unfair distribution between the main and branch families~."
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the two sisters, Hinata and Hanabi, changed.
On the way there, they had heard that this group living on the moon was of the same lineage as their Hyuga Clan.
They were all descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura.
They just hadn't expected that they also had a main family and a branch family here. Hanabi swallowed hard, her voice a bit tense: "Does their branch family... also have a Caged Bird Seal?"
She subconsciously touched her own forehead.
Although she didn't have the Caged Bird Seal etched on her, as the daughter of the Hyuga main family, she had a bone-deep fear of the words 'Caged Bird Seal'.
Makoto watched the battle below and said with a smirk:
"It seems to be more complicated than just a Caged Bird Seal."
Everyone looked closely.
They noticed that among the two groups fighting below, one side had hollow eye sockets and, surprisingly, no eyeballs at all.
A single glance sent shivers down their spines, raising goosebumps.
"Wh-What is that?!"
The introverted girls like Hinata and Bocchi shuddered and nearly fell over.
Makoto explained with a smile:
"It seems the main family here has also placed restrictions on the branch family."
In the original work, by the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, the only Otsutsuki left on the moon was that obsessed fool who coveted Hinata, Otsutsuki Toneri.
And according to that guy, he was born without eyeballs. It was only after transplanting Hanabi's Byakugan, allowing it to evolve into the Tenseigan, that he saw light for the first time in his life.
Now it seemed it wasn't just him alone... the entire Otsutsuki branch family on the moon was born without eyes.
In all likelihood, this was a restriction imposed by the main family.
Good grief, this was even harsher than the Hyuga Clan on Earth.
Although the Hyuga main family imposed the Caged Bird Seal on the branch family, if the branch family obediently played the role of dogs, most of the time nothing would happen.
But the Otsutsuki main family on the moon simply removed the branch family's eyes altogether.
They were far more twisted than the Hyuga main family.
No wonder the branch family was rebelling.
"How pitiful!"
Marin looked sympathetically at the eyeless branch family members below.
"Put away that unnecessary pity, little gyaru."
Makoto curled his lip, "There's nothing good about the Otsutsuki Clan. We'll just take them all out later."
Looking back at all the troubles in Boruto, it was ultimately all caused by the Otsutsuki Clan.
Tobirama's most classic assessment of the Uchiha was 'born evil'.
And Makoto felt those words were even more fitting for the Otsutsuki.
The Otsutsuki here on the moon were no exception.
The main family deprived the branch family of their eyesight even before they were born.
The branch family, discontent with living solely in this miserable place called the moon and harboring intense hostility toward the people on Earth, constantly thought of attacking Earth to take over their nests.
If this war hadn't resulted in mutual destruction, leaving only Toneri as the sole survivor, the Fourth Great Ninja War probably wouldn't have even started before this group had already attacked Earth.
Neither side was any good.
No sooner had Makoto said this than suddenly, amidst the battlefield below, many of the naturally eyeless Otsutsuki branch family members fiercely turned their heads to 'look' in their direction.
"Who goes there?!"
A hoarse, questioning voice came from the battlefield.
Quite a few of the girls were startled.
'We could be detected from this far away?'
Makoto wasn't surprised.
After all, these people were born without eyesight and relied entirely on perception to live. Every single one of them was like a user of Advanced Observation Haki.
"Tch."
Makoto shrugged helplessly.
"Oh well, let's get to work."
As soon as he finished speaking, Makoto opened the palm of his right hand.
Blue Chakra gathered in his palm, spinning at high speed and emitting a sharp screeching sound.
Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
He didn't throw it immediately. Instead, he signaled to Erina, who was beside him.
Seeing her lover's cue, Erina immediately understood.
She gently placed her hand on his and infused her Devil Fruit energy into the Rasenshuriken.
"More-More: Ten Times."
The moment her low shout fell, the Rasenshuriken in Makoto's palm suddenly swelled to the size of a Tailed Beast Bomb.
The next instant, with a flick of his wrist, Makoto sent the Rasenshuriken plummeting toward the battlefield below like a miniature sun.
Boom—!!!
Blue-white light exploded in the center of the battlefield, and a raging hurricane swept in all directions.
Over a dozen figures were blasted away, some losing consciousness instantly.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the other girls beside Makoto leaped into the fray.
Since their man had just said this group was no good, there was no need for them to hold back.
"Onee-chan, let's go too!"
Watching Saeko, Reze, and the others display incredible power on the battlefield, Hanabi got excited, grabbed Hinata's hand, and wanted to charge in. She couldn't wait to try out the Haki she had just learned.
"Wait—"
Before Hinata could finish, Hanabi had already pulled her out.
Just then, Makoto noticed that among the Otsutsuki branch family, there was a boy around thirteen or fourteen, close in age to Hinata, naturally without eyes. His white hair was strikingly conspicuous in the battle. Although he couldn't see, his movements were sharper and more precise than the adults around him.
'Otsutsuki Toneri.'
Makoto instantly guessed his identity.
He pointed a finger at the boy and said to the Hyuga sisters:
"He's yours."
Although the Hyuga sisters didn't know why Makoto gave such an order, they obediently followed it and went straight for Toneri.
Toneri, sensing someone approaching, tilted his head as if trying to identify them.
Hanabi didn't waste any time with words and punched him.
Her fist, coated in Armament Haki, cut through the air toward Toneri's face.
Though Toneri had no eyes, his perception was exceptionally strong. He slightly shifted his body, dodging Hanabi's fist while simultaneously kicking toward her knee.
Hanabi raised her leg to block and was forced back a couple of steps.
Hinata charged in from the side, already in the Gentle Fist's starting position.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
The palm wind struck, heading straight for Toneri's chest.
Toneri crossed his arms to block and was sent staggering back three steps.
Hanabi took the opportunity to attack from behind.
The three became locked in combat.
Makoto watched from a high vantage point, observing their fight with interest.
He suddenly remembered that in the movie, Toneri had mentioned visiting Earth with his father when he was young and seeing Hinata. He thought she was cute and deemed her suitable to be his wife.
Makoto couldn't help but wonder: Since the guy was born without eyes, how did he see that Hinata was cute?
But it didn't matter.
All these people were going to die today anyway.
The power displayed by Makoto's women far surpassed that of the Otsutsuki on the moon.
Not to mention that before their arrival, the main family and branch family had already been fighting for quite some time.
Soon, Makoto's side gained the upper hand.
"No... at this rate..."
The head of the branch family, Toneri's father, also realized the situation was dire.
He turned his 'gaze' toward the head of the main family on the other side of the battlefield, his voice low and urgent:
"Main family! A temporary truce! Let's fight the external enemy together!"
The head of the main family, covered in blood, identical in appearance to the Hyuga but unable to awaken the Byakugan, stared at the branch family head for a couple of seconds before nodding.
They could instantly tell that Makoto was the leader of these invading outsiders.
The two clan heads exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged toward the high platform where Makoto stood.
"Oh?"
Makoto raised an eyebrow at the two figures approaching from both flanks.
The next moment, treating it as play, Makoto engaged them in close-quarters combat.
The branch family head's fists carried the force of the Gentle Fist, each punch precisely aimed at Makoto's Chakra points.
The main family head's techniques were more fierce and powerful, his palm wind carrying a scorching heat.
Makoto dodged left and right, occasionally raising a hand to block or throwing a counterpunch.
After a dozen or so exchanges, Makoto found that their fighting style bore many similarities to the Hyuga Clan on Earth.
However, their power was greater, and their speed was faster.
But after fighting for a while, Makoto felt it was nothing special.
"This is it?"
Makoto asked with a smile.
As his voice trailed off—
Makoto activated Amaterasu.
Black flames poured from his right eye, rushing like living creatures toward the two clan heads.
The expressions of both the main and branch family heads changed dramatically.
Simultaneously, Chakra surged across their bodies, which spun rapidly, forming ten hemispherical shields—
"Revolving Heaven!"
The black flames struck the Revolving Heaven, were deflected by the high-speed spinning Chakra, and landed on the surrounding ground, where they sizzled against the stone bricks.
Makoto commented with a smile:
"As expected of those sharing Hamura's bloodline, your techniques look so similar."
