Naruto: Reborn in Konoha, Starting with the Drop of Asura's Chakra

[Space Backpack: Bloodline Limit · Byakugan (Red)]

Yagyu's House.

After seeing off the full meal and helping him clean up, Hinata, Yagyu summoned the virtual panel and checked the red orb inside his space backpack.

Looking at the long-awaited bloodline limit, Yagyu felt extremely pleased.

Although after obtaining the red eyes, the Byakugan no longer offered any improvements to Yagyu, as a transmigrator, Yagyu knew that this was just for the time being.

The Byakugan, as the origin of all ocular jutsu, not only has many branches, but its inherent potential and growth capabilities are truly astonishing—provided the bloodline is pure enough.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is so weak because their bloodline is not pure enough.

In contrast, the Otsutsuki clan on the moon has a much higher quality bloodline than the Hyuga clan. Even if they cannot awaken the Rinnegan, they can combine numerous Byakugans to create a massive Rinnegan.

The pure-blooded Otsutsuki , for example, only needs to transplant a pair of high-purity Byakugans to awaken the Rinnegan within a few days.

Otsutsuki Kaguya's Byakugan could also mutate, and this was due to her pure bloodline.

Similarly, in the Boruto series, the reason why Boruto Uzumaki could awaken a Jougan (Pure Eye) is because his bloodline has upgraded.

Likewise, as long as Yagyu upgrades his bloodline, the potential of his Byakugan will rise as well.

When he reaches the Six Paths level, even if his Byakugan hasn't evolved or mutated, it could still potentially allow him to, like Otsutsuki Kaguya, kill enemies with a single glance or read people's minds.

Or like Otsutsuki Toneri, he could see the fate of others.

In short…

Yagyu doesn't need the Byakugan, but he can't be without it!

Standing before the bathroom mirror, Yagyu fused the Bloodline Limit · Byakugan and observed the changes in his reflection.

As the red light seeped into his body, Yagyu could clearly feel that his brain was secreting chakra, which quickly gathered in his eyes.

Then, Yagyu's pupils began to change at a visible speed.

Yagyu's pupils were originally red, with a small pupil inside.

But now, Yagyu's pupils had turned white, and there was no longer a visible pupil.

If it weren't for the fact that the iris still surrounded the pupil, Yagyu would have thought that only the whites of his eyes remained.

At the same time, Yagyu could feel that within his white pupils, there was a similar energy to the Sharingan and the red eyes.

And he seemed to instinctively know how to trigger this hidden energy.

With a hand sign, Yagyu called out, "Byakugan—Activate!"

The next second, veins suddenly bulged on his temples, and his eyes transformed.

If it were an ordinary person, or an ugly person, this sight would have looked terrifying.

But on the beautiful young Yagyu, these bulging veins gave off a strange, sinister beauty, much like Uchiha Sasuke activating his cursed seal.

After activating the Byakugan, Yagyu's vision, like when activating the red eyes, suddenly shifted from a first-person perspective to a god-like view. A one-kilometer radius was all visible to him.

However, everything in his field of vision was in black and white, except for the veins inside human bodies and the chakra flowing through them, which appeared blue in Yagyu's eyes.

It was precisely because of the prominence of the veins and chakra that the Byakugan became a countermeasure against invisibility techniques and illusions.

In this world of black and white, the owner of the Byakugan only needs to spot that hint of blue to know where the enemy is.

After experiencing the Byakugan's perspective, Yagyu deactivated it.

As the bulging veins subsided, his white pupils gradually returned to their original red color.

Seeing this, Yagyu's mood brightened immensely.

Unlike the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan or the Otsutsuki clan, Yagyu's Byakugan, similar to the Jougan in Boruto, only becomes white when activated. Once deactivated, it returns to its original eye color.

This meant that Yagyu no longer needed to wear contact lenses all the time.

However, the veins bulging were still too noticeable, and until his trump card could be fully concealed, it would be best to avoid using the Byakugan unnecessarily.

Exiting the bathroom, Yagyu retrieved the Thunder Sword · Fang from his space backpack and began the next phase of his training.

Yagyu wasn't particularly interested in swordsmanship.

Just like how a ninja without a connection to the Otsutsuki clan can only reach the level of the Five Kage at best, ninja swordsmanship, at its peak, only reaches the level of a Kage.

Of course, that wasn't the key.

The key was that once Yagyu awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and mastered the full Susanoo, he would be able to unleash strikes comparable to the world's greatest swordsmen, effortlessly splitting mountains and breaking the earth.

The massive full Susanoo would require no technique at all—it would simply destroy everything with pure strength!

Learning swordsmanship from scratch would be a waste of time for Yagyu.

The reason Yagyu wanted the Thunder Sword · Fang was because, like Asuma Sarutobi's Flying Swallow, this ninja sword allowed Yagyu to easily complete the lightning release nature transformation.

Using this sword to practice lightning release would yield results with half the effort.

However, Yagyu's goal for practicing lightning release wasn't to enhance his offensive power but to compensate for his weaknesses.

Yagyu's current weaknesses were defense and speed.

Before his Sage Body could heal itself without hand signs, these two weaknesses could be mitigated using Earth Release and Lightning Release.

The defense shown by Kakuzu in the original series was the Earth Release ninjutsu.

Similarly, the reason Uchiha Sasuke could catch up to Lee's several years of effort in just a month was because he used lightning release nature transformation to stimulate his cells, dramatically increasing his speed.

Having successfully developed ninjutsu many times, Yagyu understood the strengths and weaknesses of Sakura's chakra control.

The strength was that her talent allowed Yagyu to control chakra perfectly, easily completing various form changes.

However, this talent didn't help Yagyu improve his nature transformations.

Because of this, Yagyu could easily create chakra cyclones and control water flow to form spiral water dragons, but he couldn't directly perform hand-formed water dragons.

The same applied to the Hard Water Blade!

So, Yagyu had to rely on external forces to help him.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon the end of June.

During this time, Team 8 had occasionally gathered for missions, but they were all D-ranked tasks. Sunset Red hadn't taken them on any C-ranked missions.

It wasn't just Sunset Red; even Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, and previous Jonin instructors hadn't taken their apprentices on any missions recently.

Because they all knew that the period from late June to early July was crucial.

Screech—

One day, Team 8 was, as usual, handling trash for the village.

At this moment, an eagle's cry suddenly echoed from the sky.

The sound was piercing, as if it had spread throughout the entire village of Konoha.

Upon hearing the sound, the Jonin immediately paused their tasks and vanished, transforming into afterimages as they hurried toward the Hokage building.

Sunset Red also told Yagyu and the others, "Finish your task and disband here. Meet tomorrow at the usual place."

After speaking, Sunset Red disappeared in an instant.

Yagyu gazed at the eagle soaring high above the village and thought to himself.

If nothing else, this time of year must mean the Chunin Exams are soon approaching!
