Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Sage Mode + Tenseigan Form
A massive crimson figure appeared, speeding toward Hinata at an incredible pace!
"Look out!" the three priestesses of Ryuchi Cave shouted in alarm.
Hinata was Akira's girlfriend. If she were to be seriously injured in Ryuchi Cave, how could they possibly explain it to him?
Just as the three priestesses were about to step in and help, a crisis was averted. Hinata's eyes suddenly emitted a deep, blue glow, and immense ocular power surged from her. She raised her hand, and, as if using the force of Shinra Tensei, a powerful repelling force erupted from her body!
The three priestesses were caught off guard by the sheer power of Hinata's release and were knocked back several paces.
As for the massive crimson snake that had charged towards her in a frenzy, it was flung through the air, crashing into the ground and rolling several times before coming to a halt. It shook its head, its single eye filled with confusion as if it had been utterly dazed by the blow.
Clearly, the impact had left the creature reeling!
"What... was that power?" Hinata looked down at her hand, astonished. The blue glow of the Tenseigan had faded, returning her eyes to their usual white state.
Even Hinata herself was shocked by the power she had just unleashed in that moment of danger.
"Roooar!" After shaking its head, the crimson snake-Garaga-seemed to regain its senses. Fixing its single eye on Hinata, it let out an angry, deafening roar, its gaze filled with fury. "Garaga, stand down!" Tanshin Hime moved quickly, positioning herself between the giant snake and Hinata. Her voice was stern and commanding.
"Damn it, I'll devour her!" Garaga growled in response, its temper flaring once again. The blow from before had left it furious, and now it glared at Hinata, its words filled with rage.
"She is Lord Akira's girlfriend-you cannot touch her!" Tanshin Hime shouted, scolding Garaga for its recklessness.
"I don't care who she is! She dared knock me down-I'll eat her, no matter who she is!" Garaga bellowed, its wrath unrelenting.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I was startled, and I acted on impulse," Hinata stepped forward, her innate kindness showing as she tried to apologize to the enraged creature.
"Hmph! You think an apology is enough after knocking me out like that? I'm going to swallow you whole!" Garaga roared, refusing to back down from its anger.
"Huh? What's going on over here?" Akira, having just left the White Snake Sage's temple, heard the commotion and hurried over with a quick flash step.
When he arrived, he saw Hinata trying to apologize to Garaga, while the snake continued to threaten her with talk of devouring her.
"What happened here?" Akira asked, his voice calm but commanding as he stepped onto the
scene.
"Lord Akira, it's nothing serious—just a misunderstanding!" Tanshin Hime quickly replied, trying to downplay the situation.
"A misunderstanding? I heard this guy over here saying he wants to swallow Hinata," Akira's eyes shifted towards the crimson snake. He recognized its single red eye and the reverse scales on its body. This was Garaga, the very same creature that appeared in Boruto.
Though Akira didn't fully consider Boruto to be a continuation of Naruto, it was clear this snake had appeared earlier in his timeline.
"Akira, it really was a misunderstanding. The snake suddenly rushed at me, and I panicked. I accidentally knocked it back," Hinata explained, worried that Akira might escalate the situation.
"Oh? You managed to knock it back?" Akira was surprised as he glanced at Hinata.
While Hinata was a capable shinobi, she was still around the level of a Jonin. Garaga was a massive creature-how had she managed to throw it so far?
"I'm not sure what happened... I was just scared, and suddenly, I felt this immense power surge out of me," Hinata admitted, clearly still puzzled by her own strength.
Hinata gestured towards the open space nearby, as if trying to summon the power again. But no matter how hard she tried, the surge of energy from earlier didn't return.
"Lord Akira, earlier, Lady Hinata's eyes turned blue, and then an invisible force burst out from her, even knocking us back," Ichikishima Hime added, explaining the details to Akira. "Yes! Her Byakugan changed!" Tanshin Hime and Takitsuhime both nodded in agreement. "Her eyes turned blue, huh? It seems, in a moment of panic, she managed to briefly tap into the power of the Tenseigan," Akira thought to himself.
Normally, Hinata's chakra levels were only around that of a Jonin, far too low to fully utilize the Tenseigan's abilities. However, in life-threatening moments, it seemed she could access the power temporarily as a defense mechanism.
So, Akira's earlier hypothesis was correct. Hinata would only be able to harness the Tenseigan's full power once she had the chakra reserves of a Kage-level shinobi.
"You were boasting about swallowing Hinata, weren't you? Well, here's your chance. Let's see if you have what it takes," Akira said, addressing Garaga directly.
He was curious to see Hinata's Tenseigan in action and wanted to witness her full potential.
"Akira, I..." Hinata hesitated, unsure about fighting Garaga again. She lacked confidence in her ability to defeat the giant snake.
"Don't worry. I'm right here. Take this opportunity to get familiar with the power of your Tenseigan," Akira reassured her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
As soon as he finished speaking, Akira's eyes shifted into the Mangekyō Sharingan. In an instant, he activated his ocular jutsu, bestowing Ryuchi Cave's Sage Mode upon Hinata.
With this jutsu in effect, Hinata immediately understood how to tap into Ryuchi Cave's natural energy and activate Sage Mode.
Taking a deep breath, within a matter of seconds, Hinata drew in a massive amount of natural energy. The energy swirled around her like returning birds, and her entire body was soon enveloped in a blue chakra flame, giving her an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.
"This is... Sage Mode?" The three priestesses stared in shock.
They knew that Akira had mastered Sage Mode, but how had Hinata, who had just signed the Ryūchi Cave contract and was visiting for the first time, managed to activate it?
And not just activate it-her mastery seemed incredibly advanced!
It was hard to believe. Was this Akira's doing? How incredible must his powers be, if he could not only master Sage Mode himself but also impart it to others?
While the three priestesses stood in awe, Hinata's chakra surged, elevating her to Kage-level
strength.
Along with this chakra surge, her eyes shifted once more, glowing a bright blue with swirling, star-like patterns.
It was the full awakening of the Tenseigan!
"This... this power... it's amazing!" Hinata exclaimed in awe as she looked down at herself, her hands trembling slightly as she marveled at the immense power coursing through her.
It was hard to tell if she was more in awe of the Sage Mode or the power of the Tenseigan-or perhaps both at once.
"As I suspected! With Sage Mode, Hinata's Tenseigan is fully activated," Akira thought, his eyes widening with excitement.
It seemed that his Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular ability, allowing him to bestow Sage Mode, was truly powerful and versatile.
He couldn't help but wonder just how strong Hinata would become with her blue Tenseigan, similar to that of Toneri Ōtsutsuki. In the original story, Toneri's Tenseigan granted
incredible abilities.
With the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Toneri could release Truth-Seeking Balls, harness the power of Yin-Yang Release, control gravitational forces strong enough to move celestial bodies, manipulate space, absorb chakra, and even give life to puppets.
Not to mention, he could summon the statue of Hamura Ōtsutsuki, launch powerful chakra spheres, and perform techniques like Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, which sliced the
moon in half.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now, with her own blue Tenseigan, what abilities might Hinata be able to unlock?
Akira's gaze was filled with anticipation as he watched Hinata.
"This... this power..." Garaga, though still filled with anger, now looked at Hinata with a
newfound wariness, his single eye reflecting fear.
Despite his volatile nature, Garaga was not stupid. He could sense the immense power now emanating from Hinata. She was not someone to be trifled with.
Yet, despite his fear, Garaga couldn't back down. He had already declared his intent. To cower
now would be to lose face.
Roaring once again, Garaga steeled his resolve and charged towards Hinata...
