A Journey Through the Universes

Orochi returned to her laboratory, which can be considered her home.

Falling on the bed, the girl hugged the pillow tightly and began to indulge in various thoughts in silence.

But her loneliness did not last long.

– Orochi! – a red-haired girl flew into the laboratory.

She walked briskly to the bed–I do not know what came over him! Why did he do this to you?! I'll talk to him right now! –

Orochi abruptly turned to the girl – Kushina, no need, everything is fine. –

Uzumaki stamped her foot – Which one is fine?! He rejected you! No, worse! He rejected you and gave you a tiny ray of hope, which you clung to like a drowning man! Perhaps, without this hope, you would soon fall out of love with him and find your happiness! And so you will be chasing an impossible dream! That bastard! – she frowned like a hamster, she

Orochi frowned – There is no need to speak ill of him... –

Kushina, biting her lip, exhaled and calmed down – Sometimes it seems to me that your love is enough for our entire harem... –

Orochi shook her head and said with a tired smile, "It's okay. I knew what I was going for. I asked for hope myself. I asked for a chance myself. –

Kushina sighed–And yet... –

Unexpectedly, Orochi's tear–stained eyes narrowed slyly - Don't worry, everything went according to plan. No, it turned out, even better than planned. –

– Huh? – Kushina raised an eyebrow expressively – What are you talking about? –

– It's a confession... I went to him, knowing that I would be rejected, and in the end I even managed to shake the strong gate in Tetsuya's heart and knock out a chance for myself... –

– I still don't understand. – Kushina shook her head , climbing on the bed to Orochi

– There's nothing to understand. – the girl said with a smile, laying her head on Kushina's lap – Quite recently Tetsuya did not even allow the thought of making me his woman, however, "Water sharpens a stone." Gradually, he began to doubt his decision to distance himself from me more and more... –

– Then why this confession? – Uzumaki asked confusedly - You could continue, slowly, step by step, to make him doubt his decision. –

Closing her eyes, Orochi shook her head right on Kushina's lap – Progress had slowed down too much, a push forward was needed... So I decided to confess, knowing that I would be rejected. I lost the battle just to win the war. –

Kushina breathed out impressed and smiled – Well, you give... And your tantrum was also just a plan and a game for the audience? –

Orochi's cheeks turned pink, and she looked away in embarrassment - No... This was not part of the plan... I didn't think I would be so hurt by this rejection. All the emotions that were accumulating in me, like a volcano exploded today... I wasn't really in control, to be honest. In fact, everything was under my control exactly before I saw him... –

Kushina shook her head – Wait, you said yourself that you knew what you were going to do? –

– I knew. Orochi–No nodded slightly nervously... But deep down, I still hoped that he would respond positively... I repeat, I did not expect such an influx of emotions and such hysteria from myself. I didn't even know I was capable of such a thing. –

Kushina grinned – A fool. –

– I know. – Orochi also grinned, closing her eyes

Senju Residence

Meanwhile, Tetsuya, after looking at the moon and thinking about everything that happened earlier, slowly returned home.

Entering the living room, he saw Tsunade and Mito, who cast slightly nervous and expectant glances at him.

– Did Kushina run after her? Tetsuya asked calmly, knowing the answer perfectly well

- Yes. –

- OK. –

Mito sat quietly with her eyes closed, but Tsunade was clearly nervous – Is everything okay? –

- Yes. Tetsuya nodded, "I may be gone for a while, so don't be scared. –

– Tetsuya... –

– It's okay. – he smiled weakly – Just another experiment, nothing out of the ordinary. –

Mito opened her eyes and slightly frowning, said in a "motherly" tone – Son. Is everything really okay? –

Smiling a little harder, Tetsuya nodded – Yes, Mom. It's all good. –

– Then I'm calm. Mito said and started pouring herself tea

Under the gaze of the women, Tetsuya left the residence and disappeared.

– I'm worried... – Tsunade hugged a warm cup of tea with her palms

– It's not worth it. They will cope and everything will be fine. –

The surface of the Moon

A red-haired guy in a crimson robe was walking calmly on the surface of the moon, and ten black spheres were flying behind him.

Tetsuya surveyed the surroundings with interest. Surprisingly, there was air here, although in this state he didn't really need it.

Having enjoyed the view of the small earth, he, with the help of one earth technique, began a journey underground.

Soon he got to where, in fact, he expected to get.

Under the lunar crust, there was a whole world with its own flora and fauna. There was even a man-made sun of its own.

But he was only interested in the Tenseigan altar, in which Hamura's descendants sealed their byakugans for hundreds of years, in fact, like Hamura himself.

Rinnegan with six tomoe easily found the place where this treasure was kept.

When Tetsuya arrived at the Tenseigan storage place, he found an interesting scene.

A huge golden sphere. This is exactly what the Tenseigan altar looked like.

There were a large number of people of the Ootsutsuki clan around the altar, or rather there were side and main branches of the clan, into which they broke up after some conflicts.

An elderly man with a short haircut shouted – Isao! The people of earth are to be destroyed! They have gone off the path of Hagoromo! For centuries they waged wars destroying each other with the help of the chakra, but this was not enough for them! They stole Jubi's body! The body of this monster that we were supposed to guard has been stolen! Do I need to say that they did it for the sake of gaining strength and power! We must fulfill Hamura's will and destroy the people from earth! –

"Don't twist Hamura's words, Haruto! That's not what he wanted! The long–haired middle-aged man replied

– There is no this! –

The situation was heating up.

Hundreds of eyeless people were preparing to join the fight.

Unexpectedly, Haruto, the leader of the side branch, grinned confidently – The force is on my side, Isao. –

Tenseigan was surrounded by dozens of yellow spheres, which were just waiting for the command to destroy the representatives of the main branch.

– Haruto! Isao exclaimed with anger and shock, "Have you taken over Tenseigan?! –

The representatives of the main branch changed their faces when they felt the danger threatening them.

– I had to do it! All for the sake of fulfilling Hamura's will! –

– You're wrong! – Isao stood his ground, despite the impending threat

– No, I'm right. Leave. Go away and take your people away. We're related, so I'll give you a chance. Use it and don't you dare interfere with the plans of the side branch anymore. The people of earth must be destroyed, and I swear it will be so! –

Suddenly, Haruto's face changed, taking on a shocked look – My connection with the altar disappeared... –

Next, everyone felt an extremely powerful source of chakra that came from the top of Tenseigan.

All of them automatically turned to face him, even though they had no eyes.

Thanks to their well-developed sensors, they were able to "see" the intruder and feel his strength.

– Who are you!? Haruto shouted

– Uzumaki Tetsuya. – he bowed slightly, with a serene smile – I can be said to be one of the descendants of Hagoromo... And I didn't really like your idea of 'Destroying people on earth', so I'm confiscating your little treasure. – he tapped his foot on the Tenseigan on which he was standing

–W-what a heresy! Haruto shouted in shock, stuttering a little, "You wouldn't dare!" How can you even touch him, being an outsider! –

Isao was also not happy about this turn of events, however, he took it more calmly, yet recently this powerful thing was aimed against him – This is impossible... Tenseigan sucks out the chakra of everyone who touches him. The only exceptions are those in whom the blood of Hamura Ootsutsuki flows. –

– Not at all. Tenseigan is really trying to extract my chakra, the only problem is that I'm holding on to my chakra too well, that's all... I'm getting a little talkative... –

Under the mouths opened in shock, Tetsuya put his hand on the Tenseigan, after which the seal spread like a spider web across the artifact.

The seal lit up with a crimson light and after a moment Tenseigan completely disappeared, taking his place in Tetsui's Seal of Evil.

"I–I don't feel it... – turning his head from side to side, Haruto said – I don't feel it! – he exclaimed, filled with shock and anger - For hundreds of years, our clan sacrificed their eyes from birth to increase the power of Tenseigan! You can't take him away from us! –

Haruto's scream was almost hoarse. The man put into this cry all the strength and indignation that overwhelmed him.

Levitating, Tetsuya slowly began to fly away – I've already done that. I hope you have the brains not to get in my way. –

Haruto was ready to run after Tetsuya, but then Isao grabbed his arm – It's not worth it, Haruto. –

– Isao! Fool, what are you doing?! Do you even realize that the treasure for which our clan has suffered for so many centuries has been stolen from us?! –

– I don't like it either, believe me. Isao shook his head, "However, you should have felt his chakra... We were lucky that he decided to let us live. You should have realized that it wouldn't be difficult for him to destroy our clan, along with that stupid moon. –

– N-but... But Tenseigan! –

"We can't interfere. Isao inhaled, "Maybe it's for the best..." –

After the loss of Tenseigan, the war between the main and secondary branches ended. They still had different views on the inhabitants of the earth, but without their treasure, their whole war lost its meaning, because there was no longer an opportunity to somehow punish shinobi using chakra to kill.

Tetsui's Hideout

In the center of the crimson seal sat the owner of the shelter.

The slowly levitating pair of eyes began to crumble into the smallest particles, soaking into Tetsuya's body.

Returning to earth, he immediately went to the laboratory and, after minor improvements to the seal, began absorbing byakugan and, accordingly, Hamura Ootsutsuki's bloodline.

The Tenseigan Altar did not weaken at all after losing this dojutsu, despite the power of the eyes.

The procedure lasted quite a long time...

Finally, the crimson seal went out.

Uzumaki's scarlet hair has grown to the waist.

What is strange is that the nails did not change their appearance.

Slowly Tetsuya opened his mouth and exhaled – Ha~ ah, it gave a much greater result than I expected. he muttered to himself

By his will, a mirror appeared nearby.

Slowly and carefully, Tetsuya opened his eyes.

Once purple eyes have acquired a rich mystical scarlet color, and six tomoes have been replaced by nine.

– Rinne-sharingan. – he said softly, looking into his eyes
