Chapter 93 – The Birth of the Tenseigan, and Collecting the Snake's Debt
Thanks to his prior deal with Neji, plus feedback from Izumi and Hikari, Aike's Ōtsutsuki blood purity actually surpassed the branch-family members here.
So he strolled right up to the Giant Tenseigan without triggering a single alarm.
His eyes shifted—Byakugan base, now ringed with Rinnegan tomoe.
Faint blue light leaked from his pupils, rivaling the massive orb in front of him.
"Preta Path: Absorption!"
An overwhelming suction erupted.
The Giant Tenseigan's power was forcibly ripped out and devoured.
At the same time, Aike's Byakugan greedily digested every drop.
The orb visibly shrank.
In its place, blue light began blooming across Aike's pale eyes.
"Almost… just a little more!"
Feeling the final barrier, Aike cranked absorption to maximum.
When the orb was down to one-third its size,
the last shackle shattered.
Specks of blue completely overtook the white.
The light solidified into a perfect, ocean-blue gaze that stood equal to the Rinnegan.
Tenseigan—achieved!
No "gestation period" nonsense.
Smooth as silk.
The leftover energy? Aike wasted nothing. He sucked it dry with the Tenseigan's own absorption function, pushing his new eyes to the exact same level as his Rinnegan.
Feeling power on a scale he had never touched before, Aike's lips curved.
"Now… let's see what happens when I fuse these two ultimate dojutsu."
He was genuinely excited to find out what kind of monster eye would be born from merging Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
When he returned to the girls,
every single one of them froze, mesmerized by the glowing sapphire eyes.
"So pretty…"
Kaya whispered.
Nami and Carina practically shoved their faces into his.
Instant soft, fragrant, warm full-body contact.
They didn't even notice.
"It's like staring at blue stars…"
"Way prettier than those ringed circle eyes."
They kept chattering, completely oblivious to the friction their curves were causing.
Or to the dragon that was very much awake now.
"You two done staring yet?"
Hot breath tickled their ears.
Aike's voice was low, strained with barely restrained impulse.
Only then did they register the situation.
And the very obvious, very hard proof of their effect.
Both faces went nuclear red.
They jumped back like they'd been shocked.
Aike glared.
"Let's go. Nothing worth taking here anymore."
He led the group out of the palace.
The wandering Ōtsutsuki souls and Hamura himself?
Aike had zero interest in meeting either brother.
Hagoromo could already pop between the Pure Land and the living world like it was nothing.
Hamura, being Six Paths tier too, could probably do the same.
For all Aike knew, those puppet ghosts were Hamura's hobby project.
No thanks.
For the trip home, Aike picked the teleportation array—way faster than flying.
Moments later they materialized in some ancient ruins back on the planet.
Next stop: collect the rest of Orochimaru's debt.
Following the contract's pull,
Aike located the snake's latest lab in a cave in the Land of Rice Fields.
The group popped into existence mid-experiment.
Orochimaru nearly dropped his scalpel.
"Debt ready, Orochimaru?"
Aike glanced around and internally rolled his eyes.
This guy really embraced the snake aesthetic—every lab was cold, dark, and damp.
No wonder he went from aspiring Hokage to creepy immortal wannabe.
Anyone would turn twisted living in caves like this.
Orochimaru immediately set his work aside and bowed respectfully.
