This feeling was not unfamiliar to Kitahara Kaede, as he had experienced it previously when his Sharingan evolved to the three-tomoe stage.
Faintly, his growth in dojutsu power had reached a ceiling, but this ceiling differed from the one during the three-tomoe Sharingan era—it did not feel like something entirely impossible to break through.
It seemed that as long as he continued to increase his dojutsu power and Yin Release Chakra, he could enter the next stage.
Is there a next stage for the Byakugan? Or is it the hypothetical second stage of the Byakugan?
Kitahara Kaede recalled how, in the original work, Otsutsuki Toneri took Hyuga Hanabi's Byakugan and evolved it into the Tenseigan through a total of three fetal movements.
After each fetal movement, the dojutsu power would increase by a huge margin, continuing all the way until the Tenseigan was formed.
Calculated this way, should this correspond to the first fetal movement?
The dojutsu power after the first fetal movement should be comparable to the level of the Sharingan evolving into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
These were all just Kitahara Kaede's guesses, but what he could clearly feel was that the astonishing growth of his Yin Release Chakra and dojutsu power had noticeably enhanced even the dojutsu power of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Speaking of which, although the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan were two different families, at their core, they were actually
from the same family, except that their kinship was distant to a somewhat outrageous degree.
The Byakugan and the Sharingan might look different, but they were actually just a certain type of eye and a mutation of that eye.
Yet if that were truly the case, why was it that no one in the Hyuga Clan in the original work could reach this stage? Were
