The Main Family members believe that the Ōtsutsuki Clan is only responsible for guarding the Gedo Statue and should simply fulfill their duty, with no need to provoke war; everyone should coexist peacefully.
The two sides held conflicting opinions, and the leader of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family firmly believed he was right, so he used the Tenseigan to completely wipe out the Main Family members who advocated for peace.
Now, the Ōtsutsuki Clan members on the moon are all lunatics who want to destroy Earth."
"En-senpai, why did the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family have the ability to destroy the Main Family? Wasn't the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family restricted by the Caged Bird Seal?" Shisui asked, full of confusion.
"No, the Ōtsutsuki Clan didn't implement such things," Uchiha En replied.
"En, what is the purpose of our trip to the moon this time?" Asana, who had remained silent, asked.
"We have two goals for going to the moon: first, to eliminate this future hidden danger, and second, naturally, for the Tenseigan."
After hearing Uchiha En's words, the expressions of Asana and Uchiha Shisui became serious.
Of course, Uchiha En didn't want to transplant the Tenseigan himself or have Asana do it. He wanted the Tenseigan to use its Eye power and the genes of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon to help Asana awaken the Tenseigan and completely break free from the control of the Caged Bird Seal.
According to Uchiha En, the Tenseigan is actually divided into two types.
The first type is formed by merging a large number of Byakugan belonging to Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants—the giant eye seen in the Movie.
Due to the accumulation of countless Eye power, this type of Tenseigan is extremely powerful.
The second type is evolved by Ōtsutsuki clansmen skilled in Yin-Yang Release after seizing the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family and undergoing several "fetal movements" (evolutionary stages).
The first type of Tenseigan, which maintained the operation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's architecture and puppets inside the moon in the Movie, disappeared after being destroyed by Naruto and Hinata.
And the Tenseigan used by Ōtsutsuki Toneri later, during the Naruto vs. Ōtsutsuki Toneri fight, was evolved after he stole Hyuga Hanabi's Byakugan.
Uchiha En's target was naturally the first type, the giant Tenseigan.
Uchiha En, taking Asana and Shisui, used the Body Flicker Technique multiple times and arrived at the location where Uchiha Oto had executed her mission.
As soon as the three arrived, they smelled a strong scent of blood. They simultaneously activated their eyes.
Two pairs of Mangekyo and one evolved Byakugan—this configuration could easily wipe out an entire country.
After looking around, Asana located the puppets two kilometers to the southeast.
Hearing this, the three immediately rushed toward the location.
When the three arrived, the puppets immediately detected them and launched an attack.
"En-senpai, leave this to me!" Shisui said, drawing the Short Sword from his back. Using the Body Flicker Technique at incredible speed, he easily annihilated the group of puppets.
To Shisui's surprise, the very next second, the puppets, which had been reduced to piles of parts, reassembled themselves.
Asana, standing nearby, frowned. She sensed a very familiar Eye power coming from the puppets—a power very similar to her own eyes.
Thinking of this, a Ball of Chakra formed in Asana's hand, which she threw at the puppet.
The puppet hit by the Ball of Chakra froze, collapsing motionless onto the ground.
"As expected, it's the Tenseigan's Eye power. Asana, take care of the rest of the puppets!" Uchiha En said, turning his head.
Hearing this, Asana concentrated ball after ball of Chakra, causing all the puppets to lose their ability to move.
After dealing with the puppets, the group spread out and searched the surrounding area, but they couldn't find a single living person.
"It seems these puppets killed all the nearby villagers," Shisui commented.
"I remember Oto-senpai saying that the puppets initially chased them, but stopped attacking once they left a certain range, only continuing to wander near the Villages," Uchiha En said.
"The fact that these puppets can be affected by the Ball of Chakra condensed using my Eye power indicates they are likely controlled by the Eye power of the Tenseigan used by the Ōtsutsuki Clan members on the moon. And the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon is currently taking a wait-and-see attitude toward the Ninja World.
"Therefore, I speculate that the puppets' goal isn't to destroy the Villages, but to search for something.
But because they searched for so long without finding anything, they resorted to massacring the villagers." Combining the above intelligence, Asana stated her hypothesis.
"I think so too. Someone or something must have been lost on the moon," Uchiha En agreed.
"Moreover, the lost person or object must be extremely important—important enough that the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon would risk exposing themselves just to retrieve it!" Asana added.
"If that's the case, why don't we expand the search area? With my Mental Power and your Sage Mode, Asana, we have an advantage over those puppets in finding things."
Asana and Shisui nodded in agreement. Uchiha En and Shisui split up to search.
Asana sat down cross-legged and entered Sage Mode.
As Asana entered Sage Mode, her sensory range greatly increased.
Soon, Asana detected a human Life Signature to the southwest.
After Asana notified Uchiha En and Shisui, the three converged and rushed over.
When they reached 500 meters from the target, Uchiha En's Minds Eye also sensed the person's presence.
His Life Signature was very weak, clearly indicating severe injury. At the same time, Uchiha En sensed a Barrier around him that could block most sensory abilities, and even the Byakugan's detection couldn't see through it.
If Asana hadn't been in Sage Mode, it would have been truly difficult to find him.
"This guy is hidden so secretly and has such methods; no wonder those puppets couldn't find him," Uchiha En exclaimed.
"The puppets didn't find him, but the nearby villagers suffered terribly. They killed every living person they encountered. In a sense, the villagers' deaths are because of him," Asana said coldly.
"Then let's just grab him directly." With that, Uchiha En's figure vanished.
With the Body Flicker Technique, these Barriers were completely meaningless to him.
The person inside the Barrier was startled to see Uchiha En suddenly appear. Just as he was about to get up and counterattack, he fell victim to Uchiha En's Genjutsu.
Uchiha En took a closer look and realized that the guy hiding inside the Barrier looked very similar—about 80% alike—to Hyuga Neji during the Shippuden era in the original work.
The only differences were probably the hair color and hairstyle.
This young man's hair color was white and short, seemingly similar to Ōtsutsuki Toneri's hairstyle. His clothing was also the attire of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Without a doubt, this guy was a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon.
