Red Hand alters the flesh, Blue Hand alters the soul.

"Can the Byakugan evolve further?"

Although Hinata was somewhat surprised, she had just been educated on the power of the Sharingan, so upon learning that the Byakugan could evolve, she did not feel overly shocked.

"It can."

Naruto Uzumaki explained simply. In truth, this was easy to understand; human organs are all capable of evolution, but the energy required to trigger a qualitative change is either too vast or too high-level.

The Otsutsuki Clan chose to utilize high-level energy.

The Chakra Fruit and the Chakra Pill represent immense amounts of chakra.

One is high-level energy, the other is a massive quantity of energy; both can induce a qualitative change.

Improving the abilities of the Byakugan is simple. While Naruto Uzumaki cannot yet elevate it to the level of the Tenseigan, reaching the level of the Mangekyou is achievable.

However, these steps were unnecessary in Naruto Uzumaki's original plan.

Because Naruto Uzumaki had long since set his sights on the great Tenseigan on the moon.

When his strength was sufficient, he would take Hinata there and transfer all the ocular power within into her eyes, creating a pair of eyes that would surpass the Rinnegan.

"Naruto Uzumaki, I want to become stronger." Naturally, Hinata was unaware of his plan; she only wanted to grow stronger now to keep pace with him.

"Very well. Eye evolution requires a period of adaptation. You might experience a temporary decline in strength, so what will you do about the Chunin Exams?"

Naruto Uzumaki did not start immediately, looking at Hinata instead.

The evolution of the eyes is not instantaneous; it requires a gestation period.

Although this duration would be short, it would certainly affect her performance in the exams.

"Let me see your resolve."

Naruto Uzumaki felt calm inside.

As expected, Hinata hesitated for a moment. She wanted to be promoted to Chunin alongside Naruto Uzumaki. In truth, this could be done after the exams concluded, but now that she knew, she did not want to wait.

"I know I am clumsy."

"I lack ninja talent, and perhaps I will never become a Chunin or a Jonin. None of that matters to me."

She looked at Naruto Uzumaki.

"I only wish to see your back and follow closely in your footsteps."

Her demeanor was delicate, yet her gaze revealed an unwavering determination.

Meeting those pure white eyes, Naruto Uzumaki felt as though he could see into her heart—as simple and pure as her eyes.

Even with his temperament, he could not help but tremble slightly.

Subconsciously, he reached out and pulled her into an embrace.

"Rest assured, even if I have to drag you, I will keep you firmly by my side."

The emotions in his heart could not be expressed in words; at that moment, Naruto Uzumaki felt an urge to punch a hole through the sky to prove his resolve.

Both were a bit overwhelmed, but fortunately, they calmed down quickly.

Clearing his throat twice, Naruto Uzumaki released her.

After all, they were truly too young for anything else to be appropriate.

"Well then, since you have made up your mind, let us begin."

Twin Palms

His hands were enveloped in chakra—one in red, one in blue.

Hinata looked at Naruto Uzumaki in surprise.

"Do I need to do anything, Naruto Uzumaki?"

Hinata was somewhat confused.

"Trust me, and do not move."

Although he had conducted countless experiments, Naruto Uzumaki's hands still trembled slightly.

This was Hinata; there could not be a single mistake.

His gaze hardened with resolve, and Hinata stood still.

Naruto Uzumaki slowly raised his hands.

His hands drew closer to Hinata's eyes.

As they drew nearer, Hinata felt a flicker of fear.

However, because she trusted Naruto Uzumaki, she did nothing.

At that moment, the tips of Naruto Uzumaki's fingers sank directly into Hinata's body.

Hinata lost consciousness at the same time.

Red Hand alters the flesh to enhance the Byakugan, while Blue Hand soothes the soul.

For Naruto, this kind of thing was even simpler than swapping eyes.

After a dozen breaths, Naruto withdrew his hands.

"As expected of Triple Inversion; no matter what technique it's paired with, it elevates everything to a new level."

Naruto sighed inwardly. Relying on Triple Inversion, he could turn his own body into gas. Combined with skills like Twin Palms, he could achieve miraculous feats, such as plunging his hands directly into an opponent's body to reshape them at will.

He could even enter an enemy's body entirely to control their mind and body, though there was no need for that.

"Little Nine, come out and get to work. Coordinate with me this time."

As Naruto spoke, a flash of flame swept over his body, and he instantly entered the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

At the same time, Naruto began to weave hand signs, tapping a finger against the Yin Seal as chakra flowed in slowly.

This chakra was different from the last time; it was infused with Naruto's own.

In this Ninja World, the simplest way to increase one's strength was through ancestral bloodline regression, getting as close as possible to the bloodline of the Otsutsuki Clan.

I don't know how much time passed before Hinata regained consciousness. She opened her eyes to see Naruto looking somewhat weary.

"Naruto, are you alright?"

Hinata felt a sudden pang of heartache.

At the same time, she felt that her vision was a bit blurry.

"I'm fine, just a little tired. It's you I'm worried about—close your eyes. Your eyes are undergoing a transformation right now, so it's best to use them as little as possible."

"No."

However, to Naruto's surprise, Hinata actually acted a bit petulant.

If she closed her eyes, she couldn't see Naruto, and seeing him in his current state made it hard for her to feel at ease.

"Be obedient."

Naruto frowned instantly; he didn't want all his previous efforts to go to waste.

Hinata closed her eyes immediately upon hearing this.

"Three days at most. Do not open your eyes for these three days."

"Now, I'm going to teach you a sensory ninjutsu."

Naruto raised his right hand, pressed it against his own head, and pulled; a small blue bubble appeared, containing Naruto's memories.

Hinata suddenly felt a segment of memory appear within her mind.

Without needing to train or clumsily weave hand signs, she successfully used the ninjutsu.

She instantly sensed Naruto, though compared to seeing with her eyes, this perception was quite blurry.

Naruto possessed the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, so he naturally wouldn't bother developing a sensory ninjutsu; the Mind's Eye of the Kagura was naturally awakened and could not be passed on to others.

So, she would just have to make do for these few days.

Hinata had no choice but to agree, though fortunately, it didn't have much impact on her daily life.

Because of Naruto, Hinata had some unpleasantness with her family.

Hyuga Hiashi was somewhat disappointed in his eldest daughter. The Hyuga Clan was able to establish itself in the Ninja World by relying on the Byakugan and the Gentle Fist. Yet, Hinata, the heir to the main house, had abandoned the Gentle Fist. Even after witnessing Hinata's current strength, Hyuga Hiashi still felt displeased with Naruto.

Consequently, he hadn't shown much concern for Hinata over these years.

A red light flashed in Hinata's courtyard as Naruto brought the blindfolded Hinata back to her home.

If he weren't afraid of Hyuga Hiashi breaking his legs, he would have wanted to stay with Hinata every single day.

"Take care of yourself. I'll come to pick you up during the day," Naruto instructed.

She was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan. If the two of them stayed together during the day, Hyuga Hiashi might be annoyed, but he wouldn't say anything. However, if they really stayed together at night, Hyuga Hiashi would definitely rush over to tear Naruto's house down.

Naruto was very clear on this point, so he never overstepped and always sent Hinata home on time.

"The brat has improved quite a bit in strength, hasn't he?"

Just then, a stiff voice rang out.

Naruto's body stiffened. Because he was worried about Hinata, and because there were no servants in her courtyard, he had let his guard down.

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, Hyuga Hiashi was standing outside the gate with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
