Tomoki paid no attention to anything happening with the Allied Shinobi Forces and Iwagakure; his mission was already complete, and the rest was up to everyone else.
Or rather, even if Tomoki wanted to pay attention, he was powerless to do so.
Tomoki had already arrived inside the Moon, and aside from using Summoning Jutsu, his connection to the Ninja World was completely severed.
When Tomoki opened the passage, a young yet furious cry echoed from within the Moon Palace.
"Ninja!"
Having experienced this once before, Toneri naturally knew who the new arrivals were.
So, when Tomoki and Orochimaru emerged from the pond, they were met by a dense array of puppets.
And in front of the puppets, a young boy in white robes stared at the two with intense anger.
"It's you again, you shameless thief! Did you bring a helper this time?"
Seeing the scene before them, Orochimaru quickly spoke.
"Tomoki-kun, I'll need you to take action. Also, that child is a puppet; his true body doesn't have eyes!"
Tomoki was initially curious why this Toneri's eyes were so bright.
After hearing Orochimaru's words, he recalled that Toneri did indeed have a puppet just like himself.
However, looking at the puppet, which was about the same size as Naruto, Tomoki clicked his tongue in wonder.
Do these puppets grow up too?
"Understood!"
Tomoki's short reply indicated he understood, then he looked at Toneri's puppet with renewed curiosity, even specifically activating his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Descendant of Hagoromo?
Without Black Zetsu's interference, the Moon had a complete historical lineage. The moment Toneri saw Tomoki's Sharingan, he knew Tomoki's origins.
Toneri was indeed naive, but not foolish.
Tomoki's gaze, like he was looking at a toy, made Toneri feel very uncomfortable, even if he didn't fully understand its specific meaning.
So what if he's a descendant of Hagoromo!
He's already fallen with the Ninja, and is equally an object to be eliminated!
First, kill this descendant of Hagoromo, then slowly torture that despicable thief.
Having made up his mind, Toneri controlled countless puppets to attack the two, while his strongest puppet launched an attack on Tomoki first.
Facing this large group of cannon fodder and the sole elite monster.
Tomoki's first action was to shed his long robe and toss it into the pond behind him.
Hmm, a magical pond that doesn't get clothes wet, perfect!
Only then did Tomoki begin his counterattack.
Since all the enemies were puppets, Hellfire was useless. Tomoki extended both hands and unleashed his ultimate move.
[Supernova!]
The temperature of the entire space surged, as if one were in a furnace.
Aside from slightly controlling the attack to avoid Toneri's puppet, Tomoki barely made any other adjustments.
As for Orochimaru, he was right beside him.
Emm... Tomoki thought Orochimaru would be fine. He didn't deliberately avoid Orochimaru, nor did he specifically attack him.
Just a little residual shockwave, Orochimaru should be able to withstand it, after all, he's the'Sly Snake'.
The entire battle process could be described in two sentences.
Toneri attacked.
Toneri fell.
It wasn't just Toneri who fell, but Orochimaru too.
Orochimaru, who had been standing beside Tomoki, was now sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud. After all the puppets melted, Tomoki reabsorbed the overflowing heat back into his body.
After the cave's temperature slowly returned to normal, a dripping wet Orochimaru crawled out from the muddy body of the previous Orochimaru.
His aura was at least half as weak as it had been a few seconds ago!
"Tomoki-kun, were you trying to take me out too?"
After getting up, Orochimaru's eyes were filled with apprehension as he complained to Tomoki.
"Senior, aren't you fine? Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time!"
.....
Orochimaru was speechless.
Though Toneri's puppet was in tatters and reduced to a pile of parts due to the special treatment, Toneri could still control it using his Tenseigan.
The instantly reversed situation left Toneri completely disbelieving, as he muttered to himself, yet also questioned, "What is this?"
Tomoki, always eager to teach, answered Toneri's question with a smile.
"This is the will of fire!"
