With a mere raise of his hand, Satori Hyūga created a terrifying black hole that instantly engulfed Kondō as he rushed forward.
It happened in an instant—too fast for anyone to react.
Bei Gongcheng was the first to recover, staring at Satori in panic before quickly dropping to his knees.
"Master, Kondō must have been controlled by someone. Please spare his life."
As both comrades and test subjects, Bei Gongcheng and Kondō were undeniably kindred spirits.
Despite gaining immense power that let them briefly open the Eight Gates and unleash strength rivaling the Kage, their bond remained unbroken.
Seeing his close brother's fate uncertain, he had no choice but to summon his courage and plead.
After all, with countless Sealing Techniques carved into his body, rebellion was out of the question.
Satori's expression darkened as most of his consciousness focused entirely on the black hole in his palm.
Within his mind's eye, every move Kondō made inside the black hole was completely under his control.
This black hole itself was formed through the space-controlling abilities granted by his Tenseigan, completely under his command and control.
With but a single thought, he could pull someone in or cast them out—even collapse the black hole itself and severely injure enemies.
This ability rivaled Kakashi's Kamui technique.
However, Satori's black hole possessed greater offensive and destructive potential.
As long as he had enough chakra, Satori could endlessly generate—and even destroy—his black holes.
Beyond the black hole, Satori faintly sensed several other abilities gifted by his eyes.
Basic enhancements aside, his visual perception and insight had significantly improved.
Under this pair of eyes, nothing could remain hidden.
Moreover, he realized he could absorb energy freely—either from enemies or floating in the air—and condense it into energy blasts.
The longer he charged, the more powerful the attack became—like a sinister counterpart to the Genki Dama.
Mastery over spatial forces and precision manipulation of gravitational and repulsive forces, much like the Rinnegan.
Additionally, Satori discovered he could mentally dominate and manipulate people or living beings.
He could control others' wills and actions, read or alter memories, tempt hearts toward corruption, or even infinitely amplify inner darkness.
He could also create puppets through the Tenseigan, command them, and deploy them in battle.
In short, [Total Control Over Bodies and Souls].
Finally, there was the Dark Chakra Mode of the Tenseigan.
Activating this mode cloaked his entire body in dark energy, creating black Truth-Seeking Balls—at least, that's what Satori believed them to be.
"Death is forgivable, but punishment cannot be avoided."
Satori released Kondō from the black hole, then raised his hand again, targeting him once more. An invisible force of absorption enveloped Kondō.
Instantly,
the terrifying dark chakra Kondō had gathered while opening the Eight Gates now surged into his body under Satori's control.
Countless tendrils of dark chakra peeled away from Kondō's body and flowed into Satori, replenishing the chakra he had spent creating the black hole.
After draining all of Kondō's chakra, Satori tossed him onto the ground. The faint rise and fall of his chest revealed that he still clung to life.
Filling the emptiness, Satori Hyūga sank into a near-omnipotent state.
By now, I should have surpassed even the Kage-level, possibly reaching the power of the Six Paths.
The ultimate forbidden Taijutsu technique—the Eight Gates; the Byakugan's evolutionary peak—the Tenseigan. Either of them alone would have made me stand out during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Now combined, Satori Hyūga no longer needed to worry about his personal safety.
Now that he was growing accustomed to the Tenseigan's unique powers, whether it was Madara returning from the dead, the rebirth of the Ten-Tails, or Kaguya breaking free from her prison, none of it frightened him anymore.
Still, the powers of the Tenseigan weren't exactly the same as what he'd seen in his previous life.
But Satori didn't dwell on the discrepancy—after all, each person's awakening was bound to be different.
The massive Tenseigan of the Otsutsuki Clan was formed through countless Byakugans merging together.
Toneri Otsutsuki had awakened his through the bloodline of the Otsutsuki and Hanabi Hyūga's eyes.
As for himself, it was through gene serum combined with Moryo's power—he was naturally going to be different.
Just then, Shrine Maiden Miroku hurried over from not far away.
She arrived flanked by a group of guards, stopping a safe distance away from Satori, her face tight with tension and seriousness as she looked at him.
"Who are you people? Why have you come to my Land of Demons?"
At the ruler of the Land of Demons' question, Satori hovered midair, turning his head toward Shrine Maiden Miroku.
His Tenseigan, as deep and unfathomable as a black hole, fixed on Miroku, immediately sending chills down her spine.
It felt like she was staring into the eyes of something unspeakably eerie.
In Satori's eyes, within Shrine Maiden Miroku flowed a vast force, completely opposite to the energy of Moryo.
Neither force was chakra—it was closer to natural energy.
Satori said, "Shrine Maiden Miroku, I came here to help you. Is this how you thank your savior?"
Regardless of his actual intentions, he indeed had helped Miroku, so naturally, Satori positioned himself as her savior.
"Your nation is overrun by cults, destabilizing the entire world. As a guardian of justice, I naturally won't allow that."
He said solemnly, leaving Shrine Maiden Miroku momentarily speechless.
You look more like the final villain than anyone else—how dare you claim to be helping me? Whether I believe you or not...
Her many attendants and guards, gazing up at Satori hovering high above, clearly doubted his words too.
If not for their uncertainty over whether they could take him on, they might have already charged forward to attack.
But Satori paid no heed to their thoughts. Gazing down at them all, he spoke directly to Miroku: "Your abilities are too weak—you almost let these heretics release Moryo. I'll personally step in and eliminate Moryo myself."
Miroku's beautiful eyes narrowed as she glared coldly at Satori. "So this is your true objective—to seize Moryo's power and dominate the world."
Not a single word from someone radiating dark energy would she trust.
Even so, Satori wouldn't halt his pursuit of Moryo because of her disbelief.
Having already awakened the Tenseigan, Moryo was practically insignificant to him now.
Yet one of the Tenseigan's abilities was the power to control puppets and alter memories.
Satori Hyūga wanted to test his luck—whether he could turn Moryo into his own puppet and subordinate.
Possessing a monstrous creature comparable to a Tailed Beast would be an enormous advantage for Satori.
"If we can't reach an agreement, then there's no point in talking further."
In response to Miroku trying to stop him, Satori raised his arm calmly, his expression unwavering, and snapped his fingers.
The previously inert Stone Golems on the ground stirred to life once more, rising up and surrounding Miroku and the guards.
"Have fun, you two."
After speaking, a pitch-black spatial rift opened before Satori, and he strode into it without hesitation.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the temple. Before him stood the colossal gate sealing away Moryo.
