Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 120: Devouring the Power of Ōtsutsuki, Toneri's Bloodline!

After the intruder was "eliminated," the moon's inner space returned to its usual tranquility.

Remarkably, this vast expanse had only two living inhabitants. The rest were merely lifeless puppets.

To modern sensibilities, a place devoid of human life resembled more of a haunted house. While it might be fine for a brief visit, long-term residence would undoubtedly lead to madness.

Uchiha Yi understood why the moon had become so desolate, but he had no interest in delving into irrelevant details.

Having successfully infiltrated the enemy's base and confirmed the location of the giant Tenseigan, there was no reason to delay.

Selecting a fire point closest to Ōtsutsuki Toneri, Yi used the Fire Elemental Transformation technique to materialize near his target.

---

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Toneri was merely a 12-year-old child.

Blind and with no elder present to protect him, he was utterly defenseless against someone of Yi's caliber.

"Who's there?"

Although born without sight, Toneri's heightened senses alerted him to Yi's unfamiliar presence. His voice betrayed his wariness.

"Apologies," Yi said coldly, unsheathing Ryūjin Jakka, his flaming blade. "I don't have time to explain. Please die quietly."

With a swift motion, the blade slashed through the air.

Toneri attempted to evade, but the disparity in their power levels rendered resistance futile.

"Swoosh!"

The strike cleaved cleanly through Toneri's neck, his head rolling to the ground.

A promising future villain, meant to grow into a force to be reckoned with, met an abrupt and anticlimactic end.

The sheer simplicity of the kill left Yi momentarily incredulous. But such was the reality of power: it was ruthless and often unfair.

"Void Devouring Flame!"

From Yi's hand emerged an invisible flame, descending upon Toneri's corpse. Within moments, the body was completely consumed, leaving no trace behind.

The flames returned to Yi's hand, carrying with them a feedback of Toneri's bloodline energy.

Ōtsutsuki Toneri was said to possess one of the purest Ōtsutsuki bloodlines. Among the clan, bloodline power was divided into nine tiers, known as the Nine Divine Eyes:

1. Single Divine Eye

2. Dual Divine Eyes

...

3. Nine Divine Eyes

At the pinnacle of the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, an individual would possess nine unique eyes.

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, for example, had five eyes:

Byakugan: A dojutsu capable of perceiving chakra flow, identifying tenketsu points, and facilitating advanced combat techniques.

Red Rinnegan: A dojutsu that allowed control over space, enabling Urashiki to open spatial rifts for teleportation or evasion.

Blue Rinnegan: A dojutsu that manipulated time, enabling him to slow down opponents' movements.

Golden Rinnegan: His most powerful form, exponentially enhancing his abilities and allowing him to dominate multiple foes.

Unknown Golden Eye: A mysterious dojutsu with abilities yet to be fully revealed.

Compared to such monstrous power, Yi's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan seemed almost laughable.

The realization amused Yi.

"So, without the system's assistance, I'm just a small fry."

His gaze turned ambitious. "I need to work harder. My goal is all nine eyes."

The upgraded Void Devouring Flame was now much stronger than before. It took only a few moments to completely absorb Toneri's bloodline power, fusing it with Yi's own.

Yi could feel the transformative effects coursing through his body.

"Just a little more," he thought, sensing that he was on the verge of awakening the Rinnegan.

But Toneri's power alone wasn't enough.

"Let's add the Tenseigan to the mix, shall we?"

Excitement surged within Yi as his attention turned to the colossal Tenseigan.

Before proceeding, however, he needed to deal with a minor inconvenience.

The elder responsible for overseeing Toneri's care had sensed that something was wrong. Panic-stricken, he rushed to Toneri's chambers.

When he arrived, he was met with the sight of Yi standing over a bloodless scene, smiling.

Dread gripped the elder's heart.

"What have you done to Toneri?" the elder demanded, his voice trembling.

"He's dead," Yi replied nonchalantly. "I killed him."

The elder's face twisted in horror.

"Die, you monster!"

Driven by rage, the elder raised his hand, preparing to attack.

But Yi was faster.

"Snap!"

With a theatrical snap of his fingers, Yi unleashed Flame Ignition, engulfing the elder in searing flames.

The elder's cries of pain echoed through the chamber as his body was consumed.

Before the flames could fully destroy the body, Yi summoned the Void Devouring Flame once more, extracting the elder's meager bloodline energy.

"Pathetic," Yi muttered, disappointed by the paltry reward. Compared to Toneri's bloodline, the elder's power was insignificant.

Still, it was better than nothing—a mere appetizer before the main course.

---

With the elder and Toneri out of the way, there were no more obstacles. The puppets, lacking orders, remained motionless, continuing their routine tasks.

Navigating the stronghold without resistance, Yi finally arrived at his true objective: the Tenseigan(Energy Vessel).

The massive golden orb radiated an awe-inspiring aura, illuminating the chamber in a divine glow.

"Such incredible power…" Yi murmured, awestruck.

Stretching out his hand, he grinned. "Let's see if devouring this will awaken my Rinnegan—or maybe even something beyond."
