"My brother's clan and the Tenseigan?" Hagoromo asked.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded.

"About my brother's clan, from what I have seen from your memories, The branch clan was indeed wrong in interpreting the message left behind by my brother."

"However, Toneri has helped you out in this aspect, especially your son Boruto," Hagoromo said.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded thinking back to the events that transpired in his world.

"Naruto!" Hashirama also arrived at the space.

"Sorry, Lord First!" Naruto bowed a bit.

"It's all right!" Hashirama lifted Naruto.

"Naruto!" Hagoromo called out.

Naruto turned to face Hagoromo again.

"Regarding the Tenseigan, it's as you have seen, an ability similar to the awakening of the Rinnegan by Uchihas."

"However, in the Uchiha's case like Madara as you know required Hashirama's body to awaken it."

"It's the same with the branch or the main family on the moon."

"In order to awaken the Tenseigan…"

"They require the eyes of a pure blooded Hyūga clan member's Byakugan!" Hagoromo explained.

Naruto also made a similar deduction back in his world.

"However…"

"The Tenseigan can be awakened in a different way as well," Hagoromo said.

"And what is that?" Naruto asked.

"Before that, I will explain the abilities of a Tenseigan."

"If you remember your battle against Toneri, then you have witnessed the powers of a Tenseigan," Hagoromo said.

"Mm!" Naruto nodded.

"Well, on the surface it looks similar to Rinnegan, without the full visual techniques aspect of it; in other words, it's just like comparing the Byakugan against the Sharingan!"

"They both are eye powers, but Sharingan focuses more on the visual jutsus like genjutsu, special powers from the Mangekyo, etc."

"However, Tenseigan is more like an enhanced version of a Byakugan."

"It is like a basic version of Rinnegan with the sage mode that is naturally built in."

"Just like the Rinnegan, it has the six paths power like attracting and pushing. Flying, the truth seeker orbs, a chakra cloak that covers the body from damage and enhanced body."

"Along with that, there is a more important aspect to it in combat," Hagoromo said.

"An important aspect to it in combat?" Naruto asked.

"Yes!"

"Just like the Byakugan being able to see Chakra points, the Tenseigan can see them as well."

"But it has a much bigger role to play over here!"

"…" Naruto stared silently at Hagoromo…

"The Tenseigan can see the flow of natural energy!"

"Not only in the body but also in living and non-living objects as well."

"And instead of seeing Chakra points, it can see through the very structure of the body of any being."

"It's like seeing the flaws in every existing object and knowing where to strike them to disintegrate the entire object itself," Hagoromo explained.

"I see…" Naruto murmured.

"Now regarding the other method of awakening it…"

"There is a slight possibility of doing it through sage mode training."

"However, I cannot guarantee that it will work!" Hagoromo warned.

"I see…"

"Well, Thanks old man."

"I'd better get back!" Naruto smiled as he turned back to exit the dimension along with Hashirama.

Hagoromo turned towards Shū.

"Young Master!" Hagoromo called out.

"Yes!" Shū raised his face as he looked towards Hagoromo who was floating next to him while sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

"Could you please tell me about the Ōtsutsuki clan's structure and its purpose?"

"I do not know of the clan my mother came from…" Hashirama stared at Shū for answers.

"Fine!"

"Allow me to explain!"

"The Ōtsutsuki clan consider themselves the descendants of Gods."

"We live in a different Galaxy and have different branch clans."

"From what I have seen, your mother must have been a mixed breed or an illegitimate child; hence she was assigned the basic duty of energy gathering," Shū explained.

Hagoromo felt as though his existence had been insulted.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Aren't you a mixed breed as well?" Hagoromo asked in a firm voice, thinking back to the conversation he had seen that took place between Shū and Naruto when Naruto wanted to save Zabuza and Haku.

"I understand how you feel; however, that's how it was in the past."

"Those of lower birth in the clan would be assigned to mere Energy gathering duties."

"You see, the Ōtsutsuki clan requires a lot of energy to survive, considering that we could be labeled as half god-class beings."

"If we were to depend upon our home planet to sustain our energy solely, the planet would barely survive past a week."

"Which is why we send people from our clan to different planets on a mission to bring back energy from other planets for our continued survival."

"I see…" Hagoromo murmured.

"The tree which your mother brought over here, also known as the god tree is just one of millions we have back at home for storing energies for our clan's use," Shū explained.

"WHAT?"

"ONE OF MILLIONS?" Hagoromo was almost petrified with fear.

"Indeed!"

"Not just that!"

"Considering the fact that she was forced to eat the Chakra fruit soon also meant that the chakra fruit never matured to its full potential before harvesting."

"In fact, premature harvesting leads to a huge loss, in some cases at least fifty percent loss in the potency of the fruit itself," Shū explained.

Hagoromo was shocked.

"This much power from a fruit which had less than half it's potential…" Hagoromo thought back to the war that gave rise to the legend that was his mother…

"There are people amongst the branch members that fight over these resources."

"Sometimes they invade planets early to collect the chakra fruit as soon as it ripens for their use."

"From what I have heard about your mother from the memories I have obtained, she seemed to have feared some of these other branch members who would have the thoughts of harvesting the fruit, which she intended to use for herself."

"Thus her reason for creating that army…"

"My guess is that she wanted to use that opportunity to leave this planet we are on, to fight her way back into the clan and get herself a position after consuming the chakra fruit," Shū explained.

"Mm!"

"That would make sense." Hagoromo nodded.

"However, there is one thing that is bothering me." Hagoromo paused.

"What is it?" Shū asked.

"How did his team defeat your clan that was on the other planet before he came here…?" Hagoromo asked.

"That one?"

"It's because that planet was composed of the branch members who were from the martial branch of the clan," Shū explained.

"Branch members of the martial branch…" Hagoromo murmured thinking back to the conversation that Shū had with Naruto.

"If branch members are that powerful…"

("Then how strong are the main branch members and the pure-blooded ones….") Hagoromo thought.

Meanwhile,

On the battlefield…

Jiraiya blocked Orochimaru, while Rasa was pinned down by Minato.

"Hah!" Hiruzen sent his adamantine staff to destroy the pieces of Tobirama which were gathering.

("Damn it!")

("I need to kill that brat right now!") Orochimaru cursed following which he made his body flexible like it had no bones and slipped out of Jiraiya's hair.

"No!" Jiraiya cursed following which he retracted his hair and chased after Orochimaru.

Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram

< Ninja art - Summoning - Bring Down the House! >

(BANG!)

A huge frog landed right on top of Orochimaru.

"Hmph!"

Orochimaru snorted, following which he extended his neck and used it to slither his way towards Naruto.

"DAMN IT!"

"TSUNADE SNAP OUT OF IT!" Jiraiya shouted towards Tsunade who was just a few meters away from Naruto.

"Huh?" The shivering Tsunade opened her eyes a bit only to see Orochimaru open his mouth as he proceeded towards Naruto.

Orochimaru's mouth which was open, had a snake come out from inside which also opened its mouth.

< Sword of Kusanagi: Longsword of the Sky >

A sword appeared, following which it extended towards Naruto at high speed.

"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Tsunade quickly rushed forth almost placing a significant amount of strain on her tendons.

(Whoosh!) Tsunade appeared before Naruto.

*Pierces*

"Damn it!" Orochimaru cursed upon seeing his attack fail, only to pierce through Tsunade at the center of her chest.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru snorted as he retracted the sword and stared at the once again shivering Tsunade.

*Sh!*

Blood poured out of Tsunade after the sword was removed.

"Tsunade!"

"I thought I didn't need to worry about you if you already saw blood, yet you are persistent."

"I understand how this kid reminds you of your little brother…"

"Tell you what."

"If you stop interfering, I might revive Nawaki for you!" Orochimaru said.

"After all, if this child continues to live there will be trouble in the future on a variety of levels," Orochimaru said.

("Nawaki…") Tsunade hesitated a bit.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru snickered following which he sent Tsunade flying with a kick.

"You are fooled so easily!"

"Trembling at the sight of blood, why would you, one of the sannin, risk your life to protect a kid who's nowhere related to you."

"Back then, you were not even concerned about those three kids that we met during the war," Orochimaru said.

"You may be right…"

"Unlike Jiraiya who looked after the kids by staying back, I hesitated even to make such a simple choice…" Tsunade said as she tried to catch her breath by holding the place which was bleeding with her hand.

"Tsunade…" Jiraiya murmured.

"However, this kid, I will protect him…"

———FlashBack———-

"You'd better take your words back!" Naruto ordered in a firm voice.

"Hmph!"

"What gave you the guts to order me like that?" Tsunade asked as she looked down on Naruto.

"Unlike you…"

"I will be the heir to the Hokage name, no matter what!" Naruto said in a firm voice as he raised his fist towards Tsunade.

Tsunade felt her heart beat faster for some reason, as she stared at Naruto's determined expression,

"Because…"

"To become a Hokage is my dream!" Naruto stated as he pointed his thumb towards the center of his chest.

Tsunade was reminded of Dan and Nawaki while staring at Naruto.

——End Of FlashBack——

"Because, this kid, is a person who will become a Hokage someday…" Tsunade said.

("That explains it, the kid is just like her little brother.") Orochimaru shook his head.

"To hell with the Hokage!"

"Only a fool does that job!" Orochimaru said following which he once again opened his mouth to reveal his sword.

< Sword of Kusanagi: Longsword of the Sky >

"Die!" Orochimaru shouted as he moved towards Tsunade.

"Damn that pesky neck of his.." Jiraiya cursed as he appeared by Orochimaru's body and started to pull the neck towards himself.

"Hmm…." Orochimaru looked back to see Jiraiya pulling his neck.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru continued to extend his neck and also spat out the sword faster.

*Pierces*

"TSUNADE!" Jiraiya called out in horror to see Tsunade blocking Orochimaru again.

"I…"

"already…"

"told..you…"

"…" Orochimaru frowned.

"I'll protect this kid at the cost OF MY LIFE !" Tsunade shouted as she brimmed with battle intent.

"No way…" Orochimaru stared in disbelief at Tsunade who was not shivering anymore.

"She overcame her fear of blood…" Orochimaru murmured.

*Ugh!* Tsunade suffered a bit of pain as she pulled Orochimaru's face away along with the sword, following which…

(Bang!) Tsunade kicked Orochimaru's face away like a football.

"Good Kick!" Jiraiya nodded as he saw Orochimaru retracting his neck to reach where Jiraiya was standing.

("I'll get him this time…") Jiraiya thought; however…

*Blergh!*

Orochimaru opened his mouth to reveal another version of him that came out of his mouth.

"TSUNADE!"

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Orochimaru shouted in anger.

Tsunade placed her hands together.
