(I wonder how many people are still reading this book from the beginning? A new week—please vote with recommendation tickets.)
More than fifty years ago, a man named Madara Uchiha obtained the power of the Senju.
More than a decade ago, Madara, frail with age and nearing the end of his lifespan, underwent a change in his eyes within a certain cave.
"Byakugan!?"
The Third Hokage and Naruto both cried out in alarm. Danzo, standing behind them, watched the shocking changes in Kimimaro's eyes as he lay on the ground, and his expression shifted as well.
"Uzumaki blood, the Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku... and it actually brought out the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan? What exactly is going on? Are these three clans really so closely connected? Could it be that, historically, these three clans originated from the same bloodline?!"
Danzo's thoughts raced as he cursed Orochimaru inwardly, wondering just what that man had researched and created.
The Konoha ANBU who had been watching from the sidelines leaped to the Third Hokage and Naruto's side. Looking at Kimimaro lying on the ground, his entire body covered in sharp white bones, they were all deeply shaken.
How could someone who was not from the Hyuga Clan suddenly possess the Byakugan?
This completely overturned their common sense.
"His eyes... are still changing!" one ANBU could not help but say.
"Ahhh..."
A faint green Chakra glow began flickering around Kimimaro's body. The veins around his eyes faded and bulged into view intermittently, accompanied by changes in the color of his eyes—
One moment, they were the white Byakugan; the next, they became dazzling, beautiful pupils!
What exactly was happening to his eyes? Naruto was deeply puzzled.
These eyes... this pupil power... they look just like the old man's eyes!? Nine-Tails cried out.
"Stop him!"
