Schrodinger's Projection

"Waaah, Daddy's eyes... are gone..."

Hanabi Hyuga finished speaking, Hinata's already pale face became even paler, her entire face appearing bloodless.

"His eyes... are gone?"

Hinata murmured softly.

The most important thing for the Hyuga Clan is the Byakugan, their Kekkei Genkai.

From the past to the present, in order to protect the Byakugan from being circulated outside, the Hyuga clan has always maintained intra-clan marriage.

This clearly demonstrates the importance attached to the Byakugan)!

As the head of the Hyuga Clan, and given that Hyuga Hiashi himself is a rather upright and serious man.

They also place great importance on the honor of the Hyuga Clan.

The Hyuga clan is the strongest in Konoha, which shows how much Hyuga Hiashi values clan honor.

And this person with such a strong sense of honor has lost the Byakugan that they were most proud of!

How could anyone possibly bear that?

Therefore, the moment Hinata heard it, a feeling of powerlessness washed over her.

She didn't even roll her Byakugan again to confirm whether her father's eyes were truly gone.

She dared not look, because she didn't know what kind of expression she would make after seeing it.

"Waaaaah..."

Hanabi Hyuga was wailing nearby.

"Don't cry, it finally calmed down."

Hyuga Hiashi frowned, his face stern, and he spoke in a low voice to Hanabi Hyuga.

Although he didn't want to do it this way, it was very effective.

As his words fell, Hanabi Hyuga Hanabi's sobbing subsided considerably, becoming almost inaudible.

The only indication that she was suppressing her grief was her slightly trembling shoulders.

"Father, what... what exactly happened?"

Hinata Hyuga rubbed her swollen eyes with one hand and asked.

Hyuga Hiashi very clear about his eldest daughter's personality.

He tailored his teaching to Hinata, so he didn't scold her.

"Not long after you left, a blind man claiming to be from our Main Family appeared at the Hyuga Residence..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kanami and Hinata had already roughly guessed who it was.

Otsutsuki Toneri.

Kanami frowned, his expression filled with worry.

They actually chose to target the Hiashi Hiashi team, gouging out their eyes...

Damn it, I never expected that Toneri would do such a thing.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists.

In his view, he was inextricably linked to the root cause of all this.

He believed that if he hadn't chosen to go to Takigakure, Hyuga Hiashi's eyes would never have been gouged out.

It was because of his existence that Otsutsuki Toneri had not descended upon Konoha, but as soon as he left, the other party appeared in Konoha.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty.

He is not inherently a selfish person, but at this moment he secretly wishes he were.

If I were selfish enough not to go to Fu's aid, this wouldn't have happened.

Hinata also sensed that something was wrong with Kanami.

She reached out her trembling hand and grabbed Kanami's clenched fist.

Feeling his fist enveloped by the icy touch, Kanami's hatred instantly subsided considerably.

He opened his palm and grasped Hinata's icy hand.

He looked at Hinata with a complicated expression. "... I'm sorry."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were already red.

He had been planning things very well all along, and there hadn't been any major problems. But ever since he learned that Otsutsuki Toneri had his eye on Hanabi and Hinata, things started to go wrong.

During Jiraiya's rescue attempt, a misjudgment resulted in the opponent losing an arm.

Now, in the rescue of Fu, they thought they were fully prepared, even bringing their Sister-in-law along, but in the end, it resulted in the Byakugan of both Hyuga Hiashi Hinata's father being gouged out.

The guilt he felt made him feel powerless for the first time.

Despite making so many preparations, a mistake still occurred.

"You... Kanami, can you please not say sorry...? When you say that, I... I don't know how to comfort you. I'm so clumsy..."

Hinata Hyuga's trembling voice rang out.

Kanami nodded slightly, suppressed his emotions, and raised his eyes.

He tried to force a smile, but when he saw Hinata's smiling face streaked with tears, his expression froze.

He had completely forgotten what he had prepared to say; his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.

"Kanami! You brat! What are you saying sorry for? I've lost my eyes, not my ears. Do you think I can't hear you just because you're whispering?"

Hyuga Hiashi rebuked him forcefully.

"..."

Kanami didn't know what to say, so he just nodded slightly.

"Sigh, don't worry too much. It's just that I lost my eyes. You see, I could sense you coming back. You have to lose something to gain something, right?"

"Losing my eyesight has given me the possibility of enhanced perception."

Hyuga Hiashi said calmly.

He pretended to be indifferent, mainly because he didn't want Hinata and Kanami to worry.

That's why he always speaks with such a strong and forceful voice; in fact, he never speaks like that when he has eyesight.

Then, he told Kanami and the others everything that had happened from Otsutsuki Toneri's appearance to his departure.

"That's exactly it. What I find hard to understand is that I couldn't attack him, yet he managed to take my eyes..."

Hyuga Hiashi still felt a little scared when he thought about it.

Kanami nodded slightly.

He roughly guessed that this was the same ability that Otsutsuki Toneri used when he first appeared in front of Hinata and Hanabi.

Schrodinger's Projection is a state between virtual projection and solid projection.

At the time, it was impossible to attack him, but by incorporating a small amount of Yin-Yang Release into his Wood Release, he was able to effectively intercept him.

To deal with his condition, it seems necessary to inject the Yin-Yang Release.

Although he didn't have much Yin-Yang Release, Otsutsuki Toneri's state didn't seem like it could last very long.

"You... aren't you surprised?"

Hyuga Hiashi suddenly asked.

The main problem is that Kanami and Hinata are behaving too abnormally.

If someone didn't know the situation, they would definitely be shocked and worried at the same time, but the two of them showed more worry than shock.

Soon, Kanami told Hyuga Hiashi what he knew about Otsutsuki Toneri and what Otsutsuki Toneri had done.

Hyuga Hiashi realized.

Only then did he understand why Kanami had brought Hanabi Hyuga to Takigakure.

"So it's already happened..."

"I'm sorry, Father, we didn't know he would feel the same way about you..."

Hinata frowned, speaking with great reluctance.

Hyuga Hiashi shook his head. "It's alright, this is for the best. It's good that only my eyes were gouged out. You and Hanabi are the hope of our Hyuga Clan, and the pride of me, Hiashi."

"But I'm already nearing fifty, and I don't have many years left to live, so it doesn't Byakugan me anymore."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, if that Toneri really gets his Tenseigan, the Shinobi World will likely descend into chaos."
