Seeing that Itachi Uchiha and Shizuka Uchiha's eye problems had been resolved, the Sage of Six Paths smiled with relief. After all, they were his descendants, and two talented ones at that. He was pleased.
With Itachi and Shizuka's matters settled, the Sage of Six Paths turned toward Hinata. One glance left him utterly stunned, but he soon recovered and slowly floated over to Hinata and Neji.
After glancing at Neji, the Sage of Six Paths said, "You must be Hamura's descendants. Hmm, your eyes have evolved. They've already become the Tenseigan, though only its most basic form, and without a sage body. Your bloodline isn't very pure either, but it's still quite impressive."
Neji froze. A single glance had been enough to see that his eyes had evolved. This had been his greatest gain since coming to the Azure Continent. After the Caged Bird Seal was undone, his strength had increased considerably, and he had overcome many barriers that had long held him back. Most importantly, repeated life-or-death battles in the forests after arriving on the Azure Continent had finally allowed him to fully awaken the Tenseigan. However, because his bloodline was impure and he lacked a sage body, his Tenseigan could not compare to Hinata's.
Still, with Neji's talent, even if he could not evolve his Tenseigan to its highest level, his strength was already beyond what ordinary people could match. At the very least, in a fight to the death, the current Neji was not much weaker than Hinata.
The Sage of Six Paths turned to look into Hinata's eyes and was once again captivated. He murmured, "What a perfect White Eye. Its purity surpasses even Hamura's. It's almost on par with my mother's, Kaguya Otsutsuki."
Hearing his words, Hinata and Neji beside her were so shocked
