Byakugan · Chakra

In fact, Hyuga Yu had already mastered two nature transformations of Chakra.

One was the nature transformation of Wind Release Chakra, and the second was a unique Chakra cultivated based on the [Byakugan], the Kekkei Genkai inherent to the Hyuga Clan, combined with the Nintaijutsu [Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms] that the Hyuga Clan prided itself on.

This Chakra had no specific name, and for members of the Hyuga Clan, it seemed to be a commonplace and unsurprising thing.

Hyuga Yu named it [Byakugan Chakra].

After careful comparison and research, Hyuga Yu unexpectedly discovered that this Chakra possessed characteristics that ordinary Ninja could not comprehend at all.

A common misconception needs to be explained here.

The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan cannot be simply understood as a form of Taijutsu with acupoint-striking effects, similar to Tai Chi.

Even describing it as Nintaijutsu is somewhat inaccurate. More precisely, it is a [Secret Ninjutsu] based on a Kekkei Genkai.

Hyuga Clan members who activate the [Byakugan] can see the body's meridian pathways thanks to it. After practicing the ancestral Gentle Fist, they can release this flowing [Byakugan Chakra] from any part of their body.

And this Chakra, naturally generated through the practice of the Gentle Fist Style, possesses an extremely monstrous effect—

any element transformed by Chakra, any substance containing Chakra, can be infiltrated and destroyed by the Gentle Fist's Chakra.

The ancestor Kaguya destroyed Susanoo with three punches, Otsutsuki Isshiki kicked the pilot out of the cockpit with one kick, and Hyuga Neji killed Kidomaru by crushing a spider silk formed from sweat.

In essence, these were all manifestations of this special Chakra's effect.

Of course, the effectiveness of this ability varies greatly from individual to individual. Hyuga Yu speculated that the effect of the ability is linked to the amount of Chakra, Chakra control, and the quality/level of the Chakra.

At least, based on Hyuga Yu's own practical tests, his Byakugan Chakra could not even be released externally for defense. Hitting a Susanoo dozens of meters high would likely only cause a small splash of water.

Currently, this ability is limited to assisting him in decomposing the Chakra refined within his body, helping Hyuga Yu safely practice unstable Ninjutsu.

From this perspective, the Hyuga Clan's heritage is no inferior to the Uchiha Clan's.

Upon understanding the characteristics of this Chakra generated based on the Byakugan, Hyuga Yu understood what the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was.

That's right, it was the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm—fired eighty times in rapid succession!

The principle behind Kaguya's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was no different from the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm used by ordinary Hyuga Clan Ninja.

The ancestor truly held nothing back; the strongest Taijutsu in Shippuden was essentially a manual everyone in the Hyuga Clan had.

It's just a pity that the descendants, these unfortunate children, were too honest.

They inherited everything passed down by their ancestor, good or bad. The Main Family and Branch Family system, Gentle Fist, not learning Ninjutsu, etc. Without distinction, anything from their ancestor was good. How could their ancestor harm them?

Because the Otsutsuki had no concept of "jutsu," the traditional Hyuga Clan, despite being top-tier in Chakra control, simply refused to learn Ninjutsu. "What trash Ninjutsu, our ancestors never used it!"

"Our ancestors are the most awesome."

However, practicing these flashy techniques was useless. In the later stages, when facing the Otsutsuki, one still had to rely on Taijutsu and Sage Mode. So, the Hyuga Clan's path wasn't entirely wrong, and their ancestor didn't trick them.

Even flashy trash like Susanoo was nothing more than fodder for punches and kicks in front of the Otsutsuki, wasn't it?

It's just a pity that throughout the entire Naruto series, the Hyuga Clan, let alone producing someone with Naruto's level of Chakra, didn't even produce a single clan member with the Chakra level of Kisame, the Raikage, or Gaara.

Hyuga Yu couldn't help but feel regretful about this.

But he quickly snapped back to reality, focusing on the Ninjutsu in his hands.

He wasn't in a position to mock others. At least Hyuga Hiashi, a fully realized Hyuga, could still contend with one of the Ten-Tails' tails.

The mediocre Hyuga Yu, however, had to abandon the traditions of the Hyuga Clan and force himself onto a path whose direction he couldn't clearly see.

Morning, 7:00 AM.

The morning sunlight reflected off the Konoha gate, casting a large shadow.

Having initially mastered Wind Release: Vacuum Blade and finished his training, Hyuga Yu tidied up his gear and arrived here.

During wartime, Konohagakure had strict regulations for Ninja on standby within the village. Leaving the village without authorization would result in being classified as a rogue Ninja.

Although Hyuga Yu had received a verbal order from Root the previous night, this order lacked any written documentation or official recognition. Besides Hyuga Yu himself, the number of people aware of this order was likely less than five.

At this moment, Hyuga Yu walked to the registration desk in front of the Konoha gate, feeling a bit apprehensive.

The guards at the Konoha gate were not yet the future legendary duo. Two Chunin from the Konoha Barrier Team were on duty. Seeing Hyuga Yu approach, one of them asked, "Name?"

"Hyuga Yu."

"You're leaving the village?"

"Mhm."

"What 'hmm'? Where's the mission scroll?"

Hyuga Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He could only pull out the Main Family order Hyuga Iroha had given him that morning from the scroll bag on his leg.

The Chunin guarding the gate snatched the scroll, unrolled it, and took a look.

"Hmm? The timing on this isn't right, did you--?"

As expected, upon seeing the departure time marked on the scroll, the guarding Chunin's face showed a flicker of confusion.

Before he could question further, another Chunin with spiky hair on the side suddenly turned and spoke, "An Anbu member notified us this morning that the Hokage Building had decided to revise the times for several missions. Did you forget?"

"Oh, right." The guarding Chunin suddenly understood, showing Hyuga Yu an apologetic smile. He returned inside to retrieve a document for comparison, "Hyuga Yu, proceeding to Grass Wave Coast to reinforce the East Coast front lines as a Medical Ninja. Hmm, that's correct."

The guarding Chunin quickly stamped Hyuga Yu's order, shook his head, and returned the scroll to him, "Even such a young Medical Ninja has to go to the battlefield... sigh."

"I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you."

Hyuga Yu nodded calmly and stepped out through the gates of Konohagakure.

Following the straight road outside the village, his figure gradually grew smaller, disappearing at the horizon.

Soon, Behind him, a squad of ninja quickly arrived.

Leading them was a Branch Family Jonin of the Hyuga Clan. Following behind him were Hyuga Tetsu, a ninja from the Aburame Clan, and a ninja from the Inuzuka Clan with a dog.

"Huh, that figure looks so familiar?"

Hyuga Tetsu stared at the resolute figure, who was disappearing alone at the horizon, tilting his head in confusion.

Beside him, his teammate tilted his head in confusion, "Does it? You must be mistaken."

However, Hyuga Tetsu still felt a sense of unease.

"Could it be Hyuga Yu?!"

Instinctively, he was about to activate his Byakugan to investigate, However, A sturdy, tall figure flashed over, placing a hand on his temple and speaking with a serious expression, "Tetsu, don't activate your Byakugan in a sensitive place like this."

"The one from the Main Family will be here soon!"
