Fourth Raikage: "No way?!"
Fourth Raikage: "If this really succeeds... a New Six Paths Sage?!"
Mei Terumī: "It looks like... it might actually succeed."
Ōnoki: "It's a bit ridiculous... but then again, if Naruto is the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage's son, it doesn't seem quite so ridiculous anymore."
Uchiha Izuna: "If the Byakugan succeeds, the Sharingan will too... All Creation, so that's what 'All Creation' means, Brother!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
It seemed the Rinnegan wasn't something to be so proud of after all.
[Hinata bit her red lip gently, looking at Naruto whose eyes were tightly shut, feeling a small sense of loss.]
[But more than that, she felt happy. Regardless, she was finally able to help Naruto-kun.]
[Initially, Hinata wanted to grow through her own strength and didn't want to rely on others... otherwise, how could she help Naruto in the future?]
[However, when Naruto actually stood before her and needed her to make a decision,]
[Hinata changed her mind immediately.]
[The priority was being able to help Naruto-kun.]
[Besides, relying on her own strength and not others... but Naruto-kun isn't 'someone else'~!]
[Mm-hmm, exactly. That's the logic.]
[Hum—]
[Just as Hinata was convincing herself,]
[Naruto was already uncontrollably streaming tears.]
[That Chakra containing the purest Hyuga Bloodline Limit from within Hinata's body surged into his eyes and brain.]
[Naruto's eyes felt incredibly hot, and tears poured out incessantly.]
[At the same time, a strange power surged from his eyes and brain.]
[It was a sensation he had never felt before.]
["Is this the power of the Byakugan, one of the Sage Eyes?"]
[Naruto whispered.]
[Then, he utilized the New Shinobi Sect once more.]
[A golden Chakra cloak appeared on his body.]
[It surged into Hinata's body at extreme speed.]
["It's not enough. Hinata, one more time."]
[Hinata was about to agree,]
[When suddenly, that strange feeling returned.]
[She let out a soft moan.]
[Hinata felt a surge of hot Chakra strike deep within her, circulating through her body before returning to Naruto.]
[Her legs went weak, and she stumbled directly into Naruto's embrace.]
[Naruto was prepared. While holding Hinata, he suppressed his own Chakra.]
[Soon, the veins around Naruto's eyes bulged once more.]
[This time, the sensation was even more intense.]
[The assimilated whisper Chakra in his mind was being consumed significantly,]
[But it hadn't yet exceeded his recovery speed.]
[A moment later,]
[Naruto slowly opened his eyes.]
[The veins around his eyes were now identical to those of the Hyuga Clan when they activate the Byakugan.]
[It was a wonderful feeling.]
[At least for Naruto, this was a novel power.]
[Especially since this Chakra, carrying the power of the Hyuga Bloodline, had come from Hinata's body.]
[Although his eyes were open, his vision had not yet recovered.]
["I see."]
["No wonder..."]
[Naruto murmured.]
[In the next second,]
[*Gurgle*—]
[Hinata blinked. What was that sound?]
[A hallucination?]
[No... that sound... was so familiar. It's the sound of a hungry stomach... but I'm already full?]
[While Hinata was confused, Naruto's stomach growled again.]
[*Gurgle*—]
[Hinata: "..."]
[In an instant, Hinata thought of many things.]
[Her pretty face began to heat up.]
[Naruto's lips curled slightly: "It seems I haven't been feeding you enough lately."]
["I underestimated you, Hinata."]
["Don't... don't say it..." Hinata stammered, unable to finish a complete sentence.]
Everyone: "..."
Feeding us dog food again, are you?
However... Hyuga Hiashi: "I really didn't expect that it could actually succeed this way."
Hyuga Hiashi: "Then, would it be possible to purify the bloodline of the entire Hyuga Clan?"
A very good idea.
Senju Tobirama: "Theoretically, it is possible."
Senju Tobirama: "But the execution would be quite difficult."
Orochimaru: "The Second Hokage is right. The Hyuga are different from the Uchiha."
Orochimaru: "The Hyuga's power lies in the Byakugan itself."
Orochimaru: "Besides, don't forget that Black-framed Naruto-kun has Ashura's Chakra—that is, the whisper—to act as a buffer. Without it... if one isn't careful, their eyes would be burned out."
Uchiha Izuna: "Little Snake is right."
The black-framed large screen continued its display:
[After an unknown amount of time,]
[Hinata had recovered,]
[But she didn't leave Naruto's warm embrace.]
[She also forgot that a certain Little Sprout loved to secretly observe her from the corner.]
[At this moment, Little Hanabi's eyes were wide with disbelief.]
[Was this still her gentle, considerate, and strong-willed sister?]
[Little Hanabi's mouth pouted high.]
[How... how could this be...]
['Dammit!']
['Bad Naruto!']
['Give my sister back to me!']
[Sensing something, Naruto, whose vision was gradually returning, looked toward where Little Hanabi was hiding.]
[Hmm?!]
[Little Hanabi quickly hid, not daring to show her head.]
[However, she didn't know that she had already been discovered.]
[Vision restored.]
[Naruto blinked.]
[Everything felt very novel.]
[The Byakugan requires continuous cultivation to awaken.]
[Naruto clearly possessed the conditions for awakening, but he didn't have Hyuga eyeballs.]
[Through a series of operations,]
[His eyes had evolved.]
[But unlike the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan,]
[His eyes could return to normal.]
[When needed, he only had to inject Chakra carrying the Hyuga Bloodline power into his eyeballs.]
[A nearly 360-degree field of vision.]
[Naruto found it a bit difficult to adjust.]
[This was his first time experiencing such a perspective.]
[At the same time, a mass of strange yet familiar memories flooded into his mind.]
[Vague, foundational memories hidden within the Bloodline Limit.]
[After a slight adjustment, Naruto began to experiment.]
[Looking at the spot where Little Hanabi was hiding,]
[In an instant,]
[The Byakugan's perspective shifted.]
[X-ray vision.]
[He looked directly through the wall in front of Little Hanabi, seeing the Chakra flow, Meridians, and Pressure Points within her body.]
['Such insight... it's even more powerful than the other Sage Eye, the Sharingan.']
['As the greatest clan after the Uchiha and Senju, the Hyuga truly deserve their reputation.']
['Unfortunately... such a powerful Byakugan doesn't seem to have an advancement path.']
['The Sharingan can evolve... its final form is the legendary Rinnegan.']
['The Mangekyo Sharingan is already powerful enough, and there's the Rinnegan after it.']
['The Byakugan...']
[Naruto frowned slightly, feeling that it shouldn't be this way.]
[As Sage Eyes as well, the Byakugan couldn't be this simple.]
[Then, Naruto lowered his head, looking at Hinata who had buried her face in his chest.]
['No, the Byakugan definitely has an advancement path.']
['I just don't know it yet.']
['Perhaps the Hyuga know; otherwise, Hinata wouldn't hold her current status... in other words, Hinata's eyes... possess the qualification to awaken the next stage of the Byakugan.']
