Starts In Konoha: Unlocking Shadow Clone

"It's over!"

Jiraiya said solemnly.

"Yeah...it's over!"

Naruto echoed with equal seriousness.

Even though the hot spring was open 24 hours, how many top-notch girls would really come here for a midnight soak?

Late at night, it was really just a haven for men?

After leaving the hot spring, Naruto and Jiraiya exchanged farewells and agreed to meet up tomorrow for round two.

Under the sparse moonlight, Naruto walked through the dim alleyway, recalling everything he'd seen earlier, still fired up.

'I had learned so much today and even obtained Naruto's classic techniques from the sign-ins, Sexy Technique and Harem Technique.

Though as a die-hard straight male, Naruto decided to keep these techniques shelved.

Suddenly, he heard a strange voice from within the alley.

"Hey, handsome, come play with us~"

"Hmm?"

Naruto was slightly startled, then he perked up and headed toward the voice, grinning disdainfully, "This time, I'll definitely ride you down."

With a quick throw of a coin, a familiar tune started playing:

"Dad's dad is called Grandpa, Dad's mom is called Grandma..."

As Naruto rode his toy horse, his mind drifted to the beauties he'd seen today. Oh, how he wished he could truly go galloping with them.

Not long into riding, Naruto was attracted by an enticing aroma and involuntarily rushed over. It was a small 24-hour restaurant.

Growl~

Naruto's battle-filled day had stirred up his appetite. Though he was tempted to eat right there, he bought a generous amount of food and headed to the third training grounds instead.

Ding, ding, ding!

As he approached, Naruto could already hear the sounds of intense combat.

Naruto had come to check on Squirtle and brought enough food just in case, yet he hadn't expected these guys to still be training hard.

'Sasuke and Squirtle have been training all day, and Neji, Tenten, and Lee has probably been training for two days. Such over-the-top training… didn't they realize it could harm their bodies?'

"Okay, stop training. Come and eat quickly, and then go back to rest."

Naruto scolded.

The aroma of food snapped everyone out of their adrenaline-fueled state, and they gathered to eat.

With their adrenaline ebbing, exhaustion soon hit them like a wave.

Watching the group fall asleep mid-bite, Naruto was exasperated. He and Guy then split up to carry everyone back to their respective homes.

But when it came to dropping Neji off, Naruto couldn't help but come up with a plan.

'The Hyuga Clan's compound is such a prime spot… What rewards will I get if I sign in here?'

After setting Neji down on his bed, Naruto sat on a nearby chair and began to wait patiently.

An hour passed quickly, and a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind.

[It is detected that the host has stayed in the Hyuga Clan's compound for one hour. Sign-in successful. Reward: Chunnibyou Byakugan!]

'Byakugan?'

Just as Naruto was leaving, he heard the reward, and he was momentarily taken aback. Then, he saw a pair of contact lenses appeared in the system inventory.

'Why give me something so useless? Even giving me Gentle Fist would be better than this.'

Naruto couldn't help but complain in his heart.

While the Byakugan was impressive early on, it gradually lost its edge in the later stage. Apart from having extremely strong perception and clairvoyance abilities, it is not as good as the Sharingan in other aspects.

Plus, after hanging out with Jiraiya, Naruto didn't have any use for seeing through walls or anything like that. In short, Byakugan was no use to him at all.

[Friendly Reminder: Please don't underestimate the Byakugan. Check the Byakugan's description for details.]

Hearing the system prompt, Naruto looked disdainful, but still opened the introduction panel.

[Byakugan: One of the Three Great Dojutsu. The Hyuga Clan's members require continuous training to awaken it, but those with a strong Otsutsuki bloodline can awaken it naturally.

Byakugan Mode: As the reincarnation of Asura, the host has already unlocked Byakugan.

The current capabilities are as follows:

Distant Vision: By pouring Chakra into the eyes, the Byakugan's power can be amplified, allowing the user to see everything within a one-kilometer radius. (With diligent training, the range of Distant Vision can be expanded)

X-Ray Vision: Able to see through objects, the Byakugan can perceive the target's Chakra Pathway, Tenketsu, bones and Chakra Flow. Among them, Otsutsuki Kaguya can even use her Byakugan to distinguish whose Chakra it is. (For example, when Kaguya looks at Naruto and Sasuke with the Byakugan, she can recognize that they are the reincarnations of Asura and Indra's Chakra)

Insight Vision: Provides a 360° field of view (though the Hyuga Clan's branch family has a visual blind spot of 1° directly behind their spine), allowing detailed observation of surrounding environmental changes.]

'That's it? What's the big deal? I'd rather not have this Byakugan!'

After reading the description, Naruto, who had held a sliver of hope for the system's words, felt entirely disillusioned.

However, his sharp eyes caught a small line below on the info panel.

'Extended Details?'

Determined to prove the system wrong, Naruto opened the extended details.

[Extended Details 1: In addition to the basic distant vision, x-ray vision and insight vision, different users may unlock unique abilities with the Byakugan.]

[Ability 1: Byakugan-Pressure: Exclusive to Otsutsuki Kaguya. Through the Byakugan, she emits a huge pressure, rendering those nearby unconscious or even causing physical damage.]

[Ability 2: Phasing: A unique Dojutsu of Otsutsuki Kinshiki's Byakugan. This is an advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu that allows the user or nearby objects to transition between real and alternate spaces, similar to Kamui.]

[Ability 3: Byakugan-Genjutsu: Kaguya used her Byakugan to manipulate Hamura's mind.]

[Ability 4: Future Sight: through the fate of others: Exclusive to Otsutsuki Momoshiki. Momoshiki was able to see Boruto's future through his Byakugan.]

[Ability 5: Mind Reading: By reaching a certain threshold with the Byakugan's perception abilities, it is possible to discern others' thoughts.]

[Extended Details 2: By combining the Chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan or fusing the Byakugan of many Otsutsuki Clans, the Byakugan can evolve into the Tenseigan!]

[Tenseigan is divided into three colors: pale purple, yellow, and blue hues. It is the final form of the Byakugan and has the same status as the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan. Rinnegan is the ultimate evolution of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, while Tenseigan is the ultimate evolution of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan.]

[Ability 1: Tenseigan Chakra Mode: This releases Truth-Seeking Balls and enables Yin-Yang Release to create all things.]

[Ability 2: Gravity and Repulsion Control: Allows manipulation of planetary trajectories.]

[Ability 3: Spatial Manipulation: Can create a portal between two celestial bodies, similar to Sasuke's Rinnegan's Dojutsu.]

[Ability 4: Chakra Absorption: Capable of absorbing an opponent's Chakra remotely.]

[Ability 5: Granting Life to Puppets: However, once the Tenseigan deactivates, the puppets will lose power.]

[Ability 6: Summoning the Otsutsuki Hamura's statue: The statue, controlled by the Tenseigan, can repair itself and is powerful enough to contend with Biju.]

"Ah this...ah this ah this...Ah ba Ah ba Ah ba..."

Naruto was completely dumbfounded when he saw the extended details.

'This is the Byakugan? This was nothing like the Byakugan I remembered!'

In Naruto's impression, the Byakugan was a weak Dojutsu, hardly worthy of being one of the Three Great Dojutsu.

But according to the system, whatever the Sharingan could do, the Byakugan could do as well. Not only that, but the Tenseigan, the Byakugan's ultimate form, rivaled the Rinnegan as the supreme Dojutsu.

What more could he say? The Byakugan is undeniably powerful beyond belief...
