Looking at this bizarre eye, Lin Chuan's heart could not calm down for a long time! This was the ultimate ocular jutsu from Naruto, a one-of-a-kind eye that belonged to the Progenitor of Chakra, Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"However, it seems different from Kaguya's eye. I remember hers was blood-red, the same color as a Sharingan, but this eye of mine is purple, much closer to the color of a standard Rinnegan!" Lin Chuan whispered. He then slowly deactivated his Byakugan, and the bulging veins around his eyes faded away.
"Although I possess the Rinne Sharingan, I have no way to activate it. Could it be because I haven't fully digested the Fruit of the God Tree?" Lin Chuan frowned, raising a hand to touch the center of his brow.
"As expected, items from that 'certain treasure' site are just high-end knockoffs; the bootlegs can't compare to the original. Otsutsuki Kaguya ate the Fruit of the God Tree and immediately activated the Rinne Sharingan, leaping to become the Progenitor of the ninja world, yet I can only look at it and can't use it!" Lin Chuan sighed. However, on second thought, having it was better than not having it at all; otherwise, given that he had transmigrated into the body of a blind person, he would have almost no chance of surviving in this world.
"At least I have the Byakugan and the Tenseigan. Is this considered a bonus reward for not being able to use the Rinne Sharingan for the time being?"
The Byakugan provided a massive boost to taijutsu, and its 360-degree field of vision combined with X-ray perception could help him avoid many fatal dangers. As for its ultimate form, the Tenseigan, Lin Chuan didn't know why it had appeared on him, but since it existed, he would naturally make good use of the abilities of both eyes.
In the original work, the Tenseigan rarely appeared and was only possessed by Otsutsuki Toneri, but its power was undeniably formidable, possessing the strength to both destroy and create worlds.
Although it lacked the complex and powerful techniques of the Rinne Sharingan, the six abilities displayed by this eye alone were enough for Lin Chuan to rise above the masses.
Attempting to utilize the Tenseigan, Lin Chuan discovered that this pair of eyes consumed a massive amount of chakra—at least five times more than the Byakugan. The reason he had been able to activate it earlier was related to the surge of mental energy he experienced after being beaten, which was also the reason why characters in Naruto could unleash power beyond their original limits in desperate situations—because chakra is a mixture of mental energy and physical energy.
"Absorbing chakra isn't as rapid as Otsutsuki Toneri's, and the range isn't far enough; it's best to absorb it at close range. As for activating the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, summoning the stone statue, or using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, those are out of the question for now—there's simply no chance!"
After exploring for an hour, Lin Chuan finally figured out the abilities he could currently use. The Byakugan's abilities went without saying; as for the Tenseigan, only the ability to absorb others' chakra was usable for now. Other abilities were negligible, either impossible to manifest or consuming vast amounts of chakra for poor results. However, it could enhance his original Byakugan abilities, allowing him to see further, though the chakra cost was quite staggering.
"The Rinne Sharingan's abilities will likely have to wait until I fully digest that Fruit of the God Tree. This actually gives me an idea." Lin Chuan's white pupils narrowed sharply. "The reason I can't absorb this fruit right now is entirely because this body cannot withstand the power of the Fruit of the God Tree. In other words, as long as my strength continues to increase and my body continues to strengthen, then sooner or later, I will be able to fully digest the fruit and activate the Rinne Sharingan."
Lin Chuan felt his guess was likely spot on. After resting for a while, he tried to channel the refined chakra toward the dormant Rinne Sharingan at the center of his brow, wanting to see if there would be any effect.
"Wait... it seems..." As soon as Lin Chuan's chakra surged into his brow, a strange power suddenly erupted from it and flowed into his eyes. The next moment, Lin Chuan let out a low shout.
"Sharingan!"
Instantly, the Byakugan in his eyes faded, replaced by a pair of blood-red irises, each with a single tomoe spinning continuously.
"I understand!" Lin Chuan said with pleasant surprise. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the Sharingan had vanished, replaced by a pair of eyes with concentric purple ripples.
"Rinnegan!"
"So that's how it is. Although I haven't activated the ultimate ocular jutsu, the Rinne Sharingan, I can project the power of the eye in my brow to use through my own eyes. It's just that the ability isn't the Rinne Sharingan, but rather two different sets of eyes: the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. In other words, I can switch between the three great ocular jutsus."
"Aside from not being able to use the Rinne Sharingan, I can use the other three ocular jutsus as well as the Byakugan's evolution, the Tenseigan," Lin Chuan muttered. "These four great ocular jutsus cannot coexist; if I use the ability of one, the other three cannot be used."
"The Rinnegan leans toward ninjutsu, the Sharingan toward genjutsu, and the Byakugan toward taijutsu. I've managed to occupy all three major systems of Naruto!" The corners of Lin Chuan's mouth curled up slightly. This would be his greatest asset for rising to power in this world.
However, he didn't get carried away. Although he had obtained the powerful three great ocular jutsus and even the Tenseigan, he couldn't unleash much of their potential with his current strength. Otherwise, wouldn't Nagato, who had the Rinnegan transplanted into him as a child in the original story, have been invincible long ago?
Outside the window was the dark night sky. Lin Chuan, who should have been sleeping, had no sleepiness at all. Having obtained the four ocular jutsus, he studied them all night, not even noticing when the next day dawned.
Creak!
Lin Chuan's bedroom door was pushed open once again.
"Could it be those reckless brats again?" Lin Chuan looked up, his white pupils appearing exceptionally eerie. However, this was the only state of the Byakugan that didn't consume chakra, so he could only present himself to others in this state.
"Ah... Lin Chuan, you..." The people who pushed the door open were not the four children from before, but a chubby boy and a girl. Judging by the fact that they could call Lin Chuan by name, they must have known the original Lin Chuan.
Sure enough, after rummaging through his predecessor's memories, Lin Chuan found information on the two. The chubby boy was named Qin Lang, and the girl was Bu Lianshi. They had known Lin Chuan before but weren't close; they had only met. Because the former Lin Chuan had always kept his head buried between his legs, they didn't even know he lacked pupils.
"Lin Chuan, why has your hair turned white? What happened to you? And your eyes too..." The chubby Qin Lang looked at Lin Chuan in shock, while Bu Lianshi was so frightened she didn't dare enter.
"My eyes have always been like this due to genetics. As for my hair..." Lin Chuan hadn't expected his hair to turn the same white as Otsutsuki Kaguya's after eating the Fruit of the God Tree. He was just about to make up a lie to fool them when he realized Qin Lang had already finished his sentence with a knowing look.
"I understand! This is the legendary 'turning white overnight from sorrow,' right?" the chubby boy said excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at Lin Chuan.
"Nani?" Lin Chuan's head was covered in black lines, feeling as if a flock of crows were cawing as they flew over his head.
"I understand. You must have turned white overnight because you were worried about the Lin Clan Assessment in half a month. Don't worry, with me, Qin Lang, covering for you, there won't be any problems. Even if you are a cultivation idiot, I won't give up on you!" Qin Lang said righteously, patting Lin Chuan's shoulder with such force that he nearly sent the recovering Lin Chuan flying.
