Truth-Seeing Eye

Just as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was still furrowing his brows in deep thought over the problem of Lin Cheng.

The two Konoha advisors and Shimura Danzō, having finished listening to their subordinates' reports, were likewise knitting their brows.

As for what exactly was causing them to frown, however, remained unknown.

On the other side, following a sparring session, Might Guy and his two companions had fully accepted the Lin brothers.

After the group chatted and laughed, agreeing to meet up for dinner later that evening, they temporarily went their separate ways.

Kurenai and Asuma went off to find a place to flaunt their affection, while Might Guy, citing the need to burn his youth, went off to do handstands.

In the end, only Kakashi remained to accompany the Lin brothers as they strolled through the streets of Konoha.

Kakashi, who was busy introducing the prosperity of Konoha to the brothers, had no idea.

Lin Cheng, who appeared to be listening intently, was actually busy with something else.

"Ding! System notification! Kekkei Genkai 'Byakugan' detected!"

"Ding! Successfully copied the Kekkei Genkai 'Byakugan' for the host. The host may experience it at any time!"

"Ding! Both the Sharingan and the Byakugan are ocular Kekkei Genkai; they can be fused to create a new ocular Kekkei Genkai. Does the host wish to fuse them?"

Will the Sharingan and Byakugan disappear after the fusion?

"Ding! They will not!"

Then proceed with the fusion!

"Ding! Fusing Byakugan and Sharingan..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host! The new ocular Kekkei Genkai has been successfully fused! Please check the details and name it yourself!"

A flash of anticipation crossed his eyes as Lin Cheng immediately began to examine the information on his newly acquired Kekkei Genkai.

Kekkei Genkai: Unnamed Category: Ocular Level: Primary Abilities: While the unnamed Kekkei Genkai is active, ignore all visual illusions! Scout all information within a two-kilometer radius! See through all disguises! Reflect all visual genjutsu with a power level below 10,000 points! Consumption: Once the Truth-Seeing Eye is activated, it consumes 10 points of chakra per minute.

...Dominating! I like it! As for the name? Let's call it the 'Truth-Seeing Eye'!

"Ding! Host has successfully named it! Unnamed Kekkei Genkai changed to 'Truth-Seeing Eye'! Current level: Primary!"

Looking at the system notification confirming the successful naming, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.

"What has you so happy?"

"Uh—sorry! Kakashi! I just suddenly figured out a problem, and I feel like my strength has grown again! So I couldn't help myself! I'm really sorry! You're showing me around Konoha, I shouldn't be like this!"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Kakashi's face, Lin Cheng couldn't help but offer an awkward explanation and apology.

"Oh?! You figured out a problem, and you got stronger just like that?"

Hearing Lin Cheng say this, Kakashi, who had previously felt indifferent, instantly wore an expression of utter despair.

"Uh—although looking at your expression, you really didn't want that to be the case! But sorry! It's the truth!"

Seeing Kakashi like this, Lin Cheng felt even more awkward.

Although it wasn't because he had figured out a problem, his strength had indeed increased once again.

Both the Byakugan and the Sharingan were parts of the bloodline of the progenitor of chakra, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

When the two fused, the result was an astonishing qualitative change!

Not to mention the abilities of the Truth-Seeing Eye, the increase in his chakra reserves alone was staggering!

A jōnin with 1,000 chakra points could be considered qualified!

If they reached 2,000, and were paired with sufficient ninjutsu levels and combat experience, they could be called an elite jōnin!

Just now, as the Truth-Seeing Eye fusion succeeded, Lin Cheng's chakra reserves had increased by a full 2,000!

And that wasn't even counting the chakra increase he had gained when he first acquired the Byakugan!

As a ninja who loved to rely on ninjutsu to crush everything in his path, Lin Cheng was destined to go further and further down this road!

However~

Lin Cheng himself liked it very much!
