Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 902 The Interrupted Revenge

"He shouldn't be regaining consciousness for a while, right?" muttered Elder Aoyama with a hopeful expression. Believing that Aoki was under the influence of a Genjutsu, Elder Aoyama attempted to break free from his grasp.

However, to his shock, Aoki, whose expression seemed dazed, suddenly opened his eyes at that very moment. Elder Aoyama wondered, "Th… this? Did he break free of it so quickly?"

Amidst heavy breaths, Aoki crouched down with a fatigued expression. Though he didn't need to breathe, considering his puppet body, he couldn't help but feel the urge to take deep breaths. There was an unmistakable exhaustion in his eyes, stemming from his soul. Aoki felt that if he had remained in that scarlet world for even a moment longer, he might have genuinely perished.

Thus, when he heard Elder Aoyama mention the word ‘quickly,' Aoki was deeply infuriated. He retorted, "Quickly? What the hell do you mean quickly? I spent 240 hours inside the Genjutsu… a complete 10 days of slow torture!"

In reality, from the moment Aoki had fallen into the Genjutsu to the moment he seemingly ‘broke' free from it, only a few moments passed. It was such a short span that Elder Aoyama hadn't even had a chance to kill Aoki or escape his hold, let alone call for help.

Sensing the chilling tone and murderous intent in Aoki's voice, Elder Aoyama immediately grasped that his life was in grave danger. He seized the opportunity to try and break free from Aoki's arm that was constricting his neck, fighting for his last chance at survival.

Aoki's gaze turned vicious as he tightened his grip around Elder Aoyama's neck once more, showing no mercy. The pressure increased, causing Elder Aoyama's face to redden due to the lack of breath. Tears streamed down his eyes as he pleaded, "No… please… I didn't do anything… that trap had nothing to do with me. I didn't even know about it… it's all the work of the Uchihas, not me!"

Ignoring the desperate pleas, Aoki shouted, "Just go to hell already!" and exerted all his strength in his hand.

A sickening crack resounded as Elder Aoyama's neck was forcefully broken, leading to his immediate demise. Aoki discarded the lifeless body, although he had managed to kill one of the three elders he had planned to target that night, there was little joy on his face.

There was no joy because he couldn't overlook the fact that his momentary carelessness had subjected him to 10 days of torture. His soul was now utterly exhausted, and Aoki knew that he needed to retreat immediately and return to his original body to heal his soul; otherwise, his soul might collapse, leading to a painful death.

Another problem arose: he couldn't leave the puppet unattended. If his soul were to leave the host, it would lose any form of protection. Normally, this wouldn't be a significant issue, but given the current condition of his soul, it could disintegrate.

"Darn it! The other two Elders, the current Patriarch, the Uchiha Clan, and Uchiha Itachi… their deaths will have to wait for a while… For now, I must return to my body and start healing myself!" Aoki muttered, making the decision to retreat immediately.

His thirst for revenge had to be put on hold as time was running out. The longer his soul remained out of his body, the more dangerous it became for him.

Having made up his mind, Aoki crouched down and extracted the pair of Byakugan from the eye sockets of the deceased Elder Aoyama. He did so with determination, knowing that he could directly merge these Byakugan with the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan. Moreover, he intended to study the left Byakugan, the very one Uchiha Itachi had used to trap him in the terrifying Genjutsu.

The experience had deeply terrified Aoki, and he wanted to find a way to counter that Genjutsu. He knew that sooner or later, he would have a personal confrontation with Uchiha Itachi.

As Aoki vanished from the scene, another figure entered the room. It was none other than Konoha's Godaime Hokage, Hyuga Kuroto, who had masterminded the entire trap for Aoki.

Kuroto had devised the ten days of torture for Aoki based on his understanding of the ‘Spirit Transfer Jutsu.' As the current Hokage, he had access to all the Ninjutsu in Konoha, and that included the ‘Spirit Transfer Jutsu.' Kuroto found similarities between this Ninjutsu and the Tenseigan Soul Descend, and he admired Nidaime Hokage Senju Tobirama once again for creating such a masterful technique, which could be considered a derivation of a Tenseigan Jutsu.

With his understanding of the ‘Spirit Transfer Jutsu,' Kuroto realized that destroying Aoki's puppet body would be futile. The key lay in directly affecting Aoki's soul or his real body. However, doing so was challenging, especially for someone who had access to an immense Tenseigan Chakra.

Kuroto knew that using the Trust-Seeking Orbs to decompose Aoki's soul was an option, but it presented some problems. The flying speed of the orbs was slower than the speed of a soul traversing through space, and their range was limited to 70 meters.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Kuroto's purpose was not to eliminate Aoki's soul; rather, it was something else entirely. His primary objective was to ascertain the location of Aoki's main body. That location would also reveal the whereabouts of the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan, which had been Kuroto's target all along.

If he were to eliminate Aoki's soul, he would lose the crucial information about the Tenseigan's location, and finding it would become an arduous task. Therefore, Kuroto discarded the idea of using Truth-Seeking Orbs and opted to set up an elaborate trap using Genjutsu and Transcription Seal to lure Aoki. freёwebnoѵel.com

Kuroto knew that Aoki would come after the lives of the three elders of the main Hyuga family to break free from the mental shackles imposed by them, despite having obtained power and breaking free from the ‘Caged Bird' condition. Decades of trauma cannot be easily overcome.

Building on this understanding, Kuroto instructed Shisui and Itachi to seal their respective Visual Prowess in the Byakugan of the three elders. Shisui sealed Kotoamatsukami in Elder Fukiage and Elder Sada's Byakugan, while Itachi sealed his Tsukuyomi in Elder Aoyama's Byakugan.

No matter which elder's life Aoki pursued first, a trap awaited him. If Kotoamatsukami had taken effect, it would have made Aoki loyal to Kuroto, granting him direct access to the Giant Tenseigan. However, since Tsukuyomi took effect, there were still some steps left.

After enduring ten days of slow and painful spiritual torture, Aoki's soul suffered severe injuries and became extremely weak. He urgently needed to return to his main body to begin the healing process. Kuroto planned to follow Aoki, still in puppet form, to the location of his main body. Once he found Aoki's main body, he would gain access to the coveted Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan.

With his mind set on his plan, Kuroto stepped inside the room, glancing at the lifeless body and the empty eye sockets of Elder Aoyama. The elder had served his purpose, and Kuroto was satisfied with the outcome. He decided it was time to leave and follow after Aoki.

However, just then, an explosion rocked the center of the village, catching Kuroto's attention. He went outside to assess the situation and saw Satori hovering in the sky, charging up a red Chakra Ball, ready to attack Konoha. This development was unexpected; Aoki's decision to awaken Satori before targeting the Hyuga Clan had taken Kuroto by surprise.

As the Hokage, Kuroto felt responsible for protecting the village. Despite his primary goal of obtaining the Giant Tenseigan, he couldn't ignore the threat posed by Satori. Moreover, Satori's unique ability to read hearts and detect malice made it a formidable opponent for anyone.

"I suppose I really can't leave it alone, huh?" Kuroto muttered, hearing the screams of villagers. With a sigh, he used the ‘Shadow Clone Jutsu' to create a clone of himself. He handed the Ryūmyaku's Gourd to the Shadow Clone and instructed, "Take care of that thing."

The clone accepted the gourd and watched as Kuroto disappeared with a body flicker. Then, it fixed its cold gaze on the rampaging Satori. There was no hesitation in its actions; it was determined to handle the dangerous situation.
