The Byakugan Nemesis Trait (Parts One, Two, and Three)

I also want to give Qingyu- jun something.

Rin Nohara spoke.

After all, Qingyu is different from her. Although she also knows Medical Ninjutsu and has been deeply Tsunade, she is different.

However, Qingyu is not a purely medical-nin.

In other words, he will face situations where he has to fight against the enemy.

Rin Nohara didn't expect that Yūhi Kurenai would also come.

And they arrived even earlier than her.

"Qingyu- jun, this medical kit is something I prepared specially. It contains your usual scalpel, suture needles, hemostats, as well as some emergency ointments and bandages."

"These are all the models you usually use at Konoha Hospital. In case of emergency treatment on the battlefield, you can just grab them and use them."

Rin Nohara put the matter of Yūhi Kurenai aside.

As she introduced her medical kit, she unfastened the clasp to reveal neatly arranged medical instruments inside.

This medical kit is a significant improvement over the one Rin Nohara gave to Qingyu last time.

Qingyu looked down at the contents of the medical kit; they were indeed all the models he was used to.

Rin Nohara worked with him at the Konoha Hospital, treating so many wounded soldiers, and observed his habits and preferences very carefully.

"Thank you, Lin, this first-aid kit is very useful."

Rin Nohara's cheeks flushed slightly upon hearing the compliment, but she maintained a gentle smile on her face.

"I'm glad I could help."

"By the way, Lin, how did you know I was leaving this afternoon?"

"Because I'm also on the roster for this unit."

Rin Nohara raised her head, her brown eyes looking at Qingyu.

"Lady Tsunade specifically requested several medical-nin to accompany her, and I just happened to be chosen."

Is that so?

Qingyu nodded slightly.

He thought Rin Nohara was in the next batch, but it turned out to be the same batch.

Several days later.

Konoha.

The special medical unit has been assembled.

Hundreds of medical-nin stood in neat rows, most of them Chunin- level medical-nin, wearing white outer garments and green ninja vests underneath.

Behind him was a thick backpack.

On the left and right sides of the queue were ninjas responsible for guarding them.

There were members of the Hyuga Clan, members of the Aburame Clan, and several ninjas skilled in combat.

--

Tsunade stood at the very front of the line, her golden twin tails swaying slightly in the wind.

"Set off!"

With a wave of her hand, she turned and walked towards the village entrance.

The troops marched off in a grand procession, advancing rapidly along the highway leading to the eastern coastline.

Qingyu, Kakashi, and Hyuga Ginka followed behind Tsunade.

After several days of forced march, the troops finally arrived near the eastern coastline of the Land of Fire.

A strong, fishy smell filled the air, mixed with a faint odor of blood.

A layer of grayish-white mist shrouded the distant sea, through which the outlines of several islands could be vaguely seen—the former site of the Land of Whirlpools.

Although the Land of Whirlpools is an isolated island overseas, it is not far from the coastline.

Even the distance between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire is much closer than the distance between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water.

We've arrived.

Qingyu gazed into the distance.

Having awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and received feedback from his Eye Power, his eyesight is excellent even in his normal state.

Or rather, any child with Uchiha bloodline will have good eyesight.

Even as a teenager, before he awakened his Madara Uchiha was very proud of his eyesight and almost let slip to Hashirama that he was from the Uchiha Clan.

In Qingyu's eyes, Konoha's front-line camp was built on a cliff overlooking the sea, backed by a dense coniferous forest and facing the boundless sea.

Several layers of Sensory Barrier were set up around the camp, and Sensor Ninja took turns on Guard Duty to monitor the movements on the sea at any time.

"It seems we've arrived."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

He only felt that the distance was somewhat blurry, obscured by too many leaves.

He secretly admired Qingyu for possessing the Sharingan.

The group continued on their journey.

One hour later.

"Lady Tsunade, you've finally arrived."

Inoichi Yamanaka, who was in charge of intelligence at the front, quickly came out of his Camp Tent to greet him.

He was wearing a green vest Jonin of Konoha, and his long, light-gold hair was tied up in a bun at the back of his head.

Inoichi Yamanaka Tsunade and then quickly reported the current situation.

"The Kirigakure ninja have occupied the former sites of the Land of Whirlpools, using those abandoned islands as springboards to continuously send small teams to infiltrate the coastline of the Land of Fire. Their Water Release Ninjutsu is much more powerful in this terrain, and our patrols have suffered losses several times."

What is the casualty situation?

"Tsunade asked."

Not many people died.

Tsunade a slight sigh of relief at Inoichi Yamanaka's answer.

"But the wounded are all seriously injured. Most of them are penetrating wounds and internal organ concussions caused by Water Release. Some of them have been poisoned by the Kirigakure's specially made poisonous mist, which cannot be treated by ordinary Medical Ninjutsu."

"Our Medical Unit has been working continuously for several days, and many ninjas are relying on Military Ration Pill to sustain their Chakra reserves."

Tsunade frowned upon hearing this.

Most Military Ration Pill don't cause much harm to the human body, but if you continuously deplete your Chakra and then quickly replenish it over a long period of time, it will eventually leave hidden injuries.

"Take me to see it."

Tsunade quickened her pace.

When she entered the wounded soldiers' Camp Tent, the scene inside made her frown deeply.

There were more than twenty makeshift hospital beds lined up side by side in the Camp Tent, and the wounded soldiers had different injuries.

The faint blood seeping through the bandages made Tsunade feel dizzy.

Seeing this, Qingyu took a few steps toward Tsunade so that Tsunade could lean against him.

Tsunade glanced at Qingyu subconsciously.

That kid in the secret passage is quite observant.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Upon seeing Tsunade enter, the medical-nin were still struggling to stay awake in the Camp Tent immediately stood up.

"Give me a record of all the injuries, and reclassify them according to their severity."

"Critically injured patients should be concentrated on the left side, and moderately and mildly injured patients should be moved to the right side. Priority should be given to treating those with poisoning and organ damage. For fractures and external injuries, use standard methods to stop the bleeding temporarily."

Tsunade spoke.

Although she cannot personally administer treatments, she is experienced and can quickly give instructions.

"Let me do it, Sister Tsunade."

Seeing that Tsunade's face was somewhat pale, Qingyu spoke up.

Tsunade nodded, then finished assigning tasks to the other medical-nin before leaving the tent.

Qingyu walked to the bedside of the most seriously injured soldier, who had begun to run a high fever and was becoming delirious.

He placed his palm on the wound, and green Chakra appeared in his palm.

Guided by Chakra, the remaining stone particles at the edge of the wound were peeled away, and the purple color at the edge of the wound began to fade.

"Qingyu- kun, I'll help you too."

Rin Nohara spoke.

She quickly helped Qingyu treat the patients next to her.

Night.

Tsunade sat in her makeshift Camp Tent, with a pile of unorganized wounded records and medicine lists spread out in front of her.

A soft footstep sound came from outside the tent.

The curtain was lifted slightly, Qingyu walked in carrying a steaming bowl of soup.

"Sister Tsunade, take a rest."

--

Qingyu placed the soup bowl on the low table in front of Tsunade.

A rich aroma filled the air.

Tsunade looked at the bowl of soup that was still steaming, then at Qingyu's face, and the weariness that had been weighing on her heart suddenly surged up.

She reached out, picked up the soup bowl, blew on it, and then took a sip.

The warmth spread from her stomach to her limbs, making her fingers and toes warm up again.

Tsunade put down the bowl and let out a long breath.

"It tastes good."

You should get some rest too; you'll be busy tomorrow.

"Understood, Sister Tsunade."

Qingyu nodded, picked up the empty bowl, and walked out of the Camp Tent.

Tsunade watched his figure disappear behind the tent curtain, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

This little devil always appears when she needs him most.

The next morning.

The fog over the sea is even thicker than yesterday.

During the day, all you can see is a rolling gray-white expanse, and even the sound of waves crashing against the rocks is muffled by the fog.

Qingyu, Kakashi, Hyuga Ginka stood on a rock at the edge of the camp, conducting their routine patrol.

He treated some of the most seriously ill patients yesterday, and the rest were treated with the assistance of more than a hundred medical-nin.

The pressure on the medical-nin here has been greatly relieved, and they are no longer in a predicament as before.

Therefore, his main tasks now are patrolling and carrying out orders.

The person in charge here is Jiraiya.

However, Qingyu hadn't seen him yet; he was probably still out on a mission.

"Ginka, have you found anything?"

--

Kakashi asked.

Hyuga Ginka activated her Byakugan, her white pupils scanning the surrounding sea before she shook her head after a moment.

No, everything is normal.

The three members of the team then returned to the camp together.

Meanwhile, Qingyu went to find Tsunade.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Tsunade talking to Jiraiya.

"Hey, Qingyu, you've worked hard."

Jiraiya noticed Qingyu's approach and greeted Qingyu.

"Lord Jiraiya."

Qingyu said.

[Collectible trait detected: Literary Genius]

[D-Rank Trait: Literary Genius]

[Effect: Improves writing ability by 30%.]

[Crafting: Publishing a book will upgrade this trait to a higher level]

"---- Literary Genius."

Seeing the sudden drop in his special ability, Qingyu wondered to Jiraiya if Jiraiya had been writing a book lately.

Currently, writing skills are not of much use to Qingyu.

Unless he's really short of money one day, he'll have no choice but to turn to writing erotic novels.

After all, Qingyu still remembered many famous classic works from his previous life, such as "Black Beast" and "Young A----", which brought a devastating blow to the Shinobi World.

However, the possibility of this happening is very low.

"Qingyu, you've come at the right time. Didn't you want to learn advanced Sensory Ninjutsu?"

"Tsunade said."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu immediately nodded.

The trait of [Malice Perception] requires him to learn an advanced Sensory Ninjutsu.

Tsunade had previously mentioned asking Jiraiya to help her get one, but Jiraiya was always elusive, so they never met.

"Give it to Qingyu quickly, Jiraiya."

Tsunade said.

"Sigh, when have you ever been so kind to me?"

Jiraiya smiled and then handed a scroll to Qingyu.

"You expect me to be nice after what you've done?"

Tsunade said irritably.

Seeing Jiraiya, Jiraiya, feeling guilty, scratched his head.

After all, it's normal for women to look down on someone who has been caught peeping into women's bathhouses more than once.

"Thank you Lord Jiraiya."

Qingyu spoke.

"Ahem----This is the 'Barrier - Heavenly Canopy Formation'."

Jiraiya seized the opportunity to change the subject and began explaining the Ninjutsu to Qingyu.

"After use, the caster creates a hemispherical Sensory Barrier beneath their feet. All Chakra fluctuations within the barrier's range will be detected, making it perfect for defending against assassination squads from the Kirigakure."

He paused, then added, "Back when I was in Amegakure, I used this technique to discover the ninjas Hanzō sent to assassinate me. If I hadn't sensed their location beforehand, I might have been done for."

Qingyu quickly skimmed through the contents of the scroll, then put it into her Ninja Tool Pouch.

"Thank you Lord Jiraiya."

Qingyu estimates that he should be able to learn it this month.

"You are welcome."

Jiraiya waved his hand, then changed the subject, his expression becoming more serious.

"It's perfect that you're here. I have a task that needs your help."

He took out another map from his pocket and unfolded it, which marked the terrain near the coastline and several red circles.

His large, thick finger pointed to a spot on the map circled in red.

"Last night, our sensory team detected Chakra Kirigakure in this area. There were about five or six of them. They passed through the gaps in the Sensory Barrier and infiltrated inland."

"These people are likely targeting our supply depot in the mountains to the east."

"If they blow up the warehouse, there will be a huge shortage of supplies to the front-line camps, and the subsequent evacuation of the wounded and the replenishment of medicines will be severely affected."

"I originally wanted to go myself, but the camp's defenses need someone to be stationed there, and the Kirigakure Village could launch a frontal attack at any time."

He closed the map and looked up at Qingyu.

"I heard about your performance in the Chunin Ninja Exams from Tsunade. This mission will be assigned to you and Aburame Clan's team."

Jiraiya said.

Although Qingyu was a Chunin, Jiraiya felt that using him as a Jonin made no difference.

Moreover, Qingyu's team is very well-equipped.

Hyuga Ginka possesses the Byakugan, and Kakashi is also a genius.

"Understood, Lord Jiraiya."

Qingyu is honest and kind.

Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction.

"Your objective is to locate this Kirigakure Squad and eliminate them before they reach the supply depot. If you encounter a situation that is beyond your control, prioritize survival and retreat immediately with your squad."

"Clear."

Qingyu spoke.

If he couldn't win, he simply led his men and ran away; there was no way he would fight them head-on.

Since Qingyu hadn't fought any Kirigakure ninjas yet, he wanted to know if he could obtain any Water Release -related traits.

His Water Release talent was already enhanced by Sarutobi Hiruzen's comprehension, as well as some of his previous traits.

If they continue to acquire more, they might reach a point unprecedented in history.

It's important to know that there are actually some Water Release Ninjutsu with unique mechanisms.

For example, the Hōzuki Clan's Water Release secret technique, "Water Transformation Technique".

It can turn the body into a liquid state, making it completely immune to physical attacks.

The only drawback is that it is extremely weak to lightning; once attacked by lightning-attribute Ninjutsu, it will reveal its true form.

Afterwards, Qingyu found Hyuga Ginka and Kakashi, and then reunited with the Aburame Clan's team.

Their team's strongest ninja was named Shisui Aburame. The other two members were Yūka Inuzuka from the Inuzuka Clan and Fujikino, a commoner ninja.

"I've heard so much about you, Qingyu."

Shisui Aburame smiled.

He had heard quite a bit about Qingyu, this genius.

"These are all external accolades."

Qingyu shook her head.

[Collectible trait detected: Insect Affinity]

[E-Rank Trait: Insect Affinity]

[Effect: Increases affinity with insects by 10%.]

[Crafting: Defeating a Shinobi from the Aburame Clan will upgrade the trait to a higher level.]

The drop rate is quite high.

Qingyu was surprised to find that Shisui Aburame had such a good trait on their first meeting.

"Let's go then."

Qingyu said.

Another place, in the mountains and forests.

The mist hung in the air, obscuring everything around them.

The branches and leaves of the trees were dampened by the mist, and water droplets dripped down the leaves, accumulating into patches of wet mud on the ground.

Three Kirigakure Ninja were moving quickly along a secluded mountain path.

Leading the way was a man with gray-blue hair and long talismans hanging from his earlobes.

Several Kirigakure ninja followed behind him.

The woman had long, bright orange hair with bangs that covered her eyebrows, and a strand of hair hanging down on each side of her face, the ends of which were dyed dark blue.

"Senior Qing, it seems Konoha only sent a small team to chase us."

The orange-haired female ninja, Xue Binglian, spoke, her voice clear and crisp, carrying a hint of dismissive disdain.

The man with the gray-blue, spiky hairstyle is Ao, Jonin Kirigakure.

Who is there?

"It looks like there's a Byakugan ninja."

"That's what Xue Binglian said."

Upon hearing this, Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's a nice Byakugan. Since they've come to us willingly, let's dig them out and see if they're from the Main Family or Branch Family."

O

Qing turned to look at Green Maru beside her.

Green Maru was thin and looked quite young, wearing a gray cloak.

But Ao highly values Green Maru.

The reason is that Green Maru possesses an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai: Red Eye.

This Kekkei Genkai Dōjutsu can create Chakra images and interfere with the Byakugan's judgment, and is known as the natural enemy of the Hyuga Clan.

In the Byakugan's vision, the illusions created by the Red Eye are indistinguishable from real Chakra fluctuations; even the Byakugan's proud X-ray vision cannot penetrate the image layer created by the Red Eye.

However, such Kekkei Genkai are extremely rare, and even their direct descendants find it difficult to awaken them, almost to the point of disappearing altogether.

It's far inferior to the Byakugan, which has an almost 99% chance of opening.

However, it was precisely because of Green Maru's Red Eye that this Kirigakure team was able to pass through Konoha's Sensory Barrier multiple times without being detected.

"Green Maru, can your Chakra hold up?"

"Yes, Lord Qing."

"That's what Green Maru said."

"Keep moving forward, don't waste time."

Qing gave the order.

The three quickened their pace and sped towards the supply depot.

Deep in the mountains and forests, the mist swirls slowly, turning the trees into a hazy gray-white.

Hyuga Ginka walked at the very front of the group, her Byakugan always activated.

--

Her pure white pupils scanned her surroundings, taking in the Chakra fluctuations within a kilometer radius through layers of trees and mist.

Still no findings.

She gently shook her head and continued to report the situation on time.

Upon arriving at the front lines, she changed her white robe for a green ninja vest, over which she wore a black bodysuit.

Her clothes, dampened by the mist, clung to her skin, outlining her voluptuous and tall figure.

"Since the people of Kirigakure can pass through the Sensory Barrier, it means they possess some kind of means to shield their senses."

Kakashi pondered, "It's either a special ninja tool or some kind of Kekkei Genkai."

Shisui Aburame followed behind, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses. Several Kikaichū silently flew out from his sleeve and hovered in the mist.

Yūka Inuzuka crouched on a moss-covered boulder, her Ninja Dog Yukimaru lying at her feet.

Yukimaru is pure white, but under the shroud of mist, even its white fur appears somewhat grayish.

Her moist, black nose twitched rapidly, and her two triangular ears twitched from time to time, catching the scents in the air.

"Yukimaru said the fog was too thick, and the smell couldn't dissipate; all he could smell was the fishy smell of the sea and tree sap."

Inuzuka Youhua placed her hand on Yukimaru's head.

She had fluffy brown hair, tied into a side ponytail with a red ribbon, and the two red inverted triangle tattoos on her face were slightly damp, making them look even more vibrant than usual.

"Let's be careful."

Qingyu said.

He had a feeling that something was wrong.

It's too quiet.

However, Qingyu wasn't too nervous.

Even if they can't sense it now, the enemy will give themselves away during the attack.

There is a process from the attack to being hit.

This process was enough for Qingyu to react.

He is now the strongest ninja in the team.

Suddenly, Qingyu stopped in her tracks.

A line of semi-transparent text popped up in front of him.

[Collectible trait detected: Byakugan Nemesis]

[C-Rank Trait: Byakugan Nemesis]

[Effect: Increases Insight by 60%, enhances Genjutsu of the Dōjutsu type.]

[Crafting: Obtaining Red Eye will upgrade it to a higher-level trait.]

Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Red Eye?

Could it be that the reason it's been so quiet is because the enemy used Red Eye?

In anime, Red Eye are an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai.

Faced with the illusions created by the Red Eye, the Byakugan's X-ray vision and farsightedness are rendered useless.

The future Red Eye Ninja is Ranmaru, who acts alongside Raiga Kurosuki of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Raiga Kurosuki is eventually defeated by Naruto and his companions.

There are other Red Eye users here too----

Qingyu thought to herself.

The Shinobi World is vast, and while Kekkei Genkai are rare, they are not necessarily limited to the few who appeared in the original work.

Just as the Scorch Release was awakened by Pakura, it was also awakened by other unknown ninjas.

He closed the special abilities panel, his expression unchanged, but he had already begun to be on guard.

The Red Eye Chakra image can interfere with the Byakugan's judgment, which means that Hyuga Ginka's previous report of "not finding anything" was likely just an illusion.

The enemy may be nearby, or may have already included them in their attack range.

"Stop, everyone."

Qingyu spoke.

Hyuga Ginka turned around, a hint of doubt flashing in her white pupils.

She was about to say that her Byakugan hadn't detected anything unusual when she saw Qingyu's serious expression; he had already activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"There are enemies."

Qingyu said.

The Muramasa in his hand began to gather Wind Release Chakra, and sharp wind blades extended from the blade.

Hyuga Ginka was startled and carefully scanned her surroundings again with her Byakugan.

One kilometer.

500 meters.

300 meters.

Her vision passed through the trees, through the mist, through the rocks and the soil, and all she saw was an empty forest.

There was no Chakra fluctuation, no ninja in sight, and even the animals hid in their burrows because of the mist.

"Qingyu, I didn't do anything—"

Hyuga Ginka her sentence.

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.

A Shuriken shot out from the thick fog, moving so fast that it left only a blurry black shadow in the air.

Hyuga Ginka's pupils contracted.

She saw it.

But by the time they saw it, it was too late to hide.

In that instant, a hand wrapped around her waist from the side.

Hyuga Ginka felt her back slam into a solid chest, and the Shuriken grazed her arm as it flew past.

Bang!

A poisoned Shuriken was embedded in the large tree behind her.

Hyuga Ginka's mind went completely blank for a moment.

There really was someone there?

Qingyu looked down at Hyuga Ginka in her arms.

Because of the close proximity, Qingyu could feel the curves of this body.

To Qingyu's surprise, Hyuga Ginka had a very slender waist, but was quite well-endowed in the right places.

"Everyone be careful. The Byakugan isn't invincible; there are many ways to obscure vision."
