Heart Moved

"The Byakugan, what a truly enviable Kekkei Genkai..."

Yun Xi muttered to himself, observing Hyuga Hiashi standing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

The Hyuga Hiashi standing before him now was like a completely different person compared to the one he had known before.

Initially, the impression Hyuga Hiashi had left on Yun Xi was that of a very rigid, stern middle-aged man.

He had lacked the aura one would expect from an elite Jonin.

However...

The current Hyuga Hiashi was entirely different.

Yun Xi sensed a deep yearning and a distinct sense of tension emanating from his eyes.

"That goes without saying."

Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, Hyuga Hiashi froze, a flicker of pride surfacing on his face. As the head of a clan possessing a Kekkei Genkai passed down for centuries, it was only natural for Hyuga Hiashi to feel a sense of arrogance.

But as that proud expression faded, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Yun Xi with a sharp, serious gaze and spoke, "I asked you to tell me how the Byakugan evolves, not to listen to this!"

"Don't be so impatient."

Yun Xi smiled, then said in a casual tone, "Uncle, have you ever seen anyone pay for a transaction before the goods are delivered?"

"You?!"

Hyuga Hiashi understood the implication behind Yun Xi's words, but as the head of the Hyuga Clan, how could he possibly trust Yun Xi so easily?

After cursing Yun Xi's shamelessness under his breath, Hyuga Hiashi stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I don't want to say much at a time like this. Since you intend to trade, you must show some sincerity..."

"That's simple!"

Yun Xi immediately turned to Tenten and patted her...

"What is it, Brother Yun Xi?"

Clearly, Tenten was still feeling a bit bewildered at this moment.

"Give me a kunai," Yun Xi said.

"Oh..."

Though she didn't know why Yun Xi needed a kunai, Tenten didn't ask any questions and pulled a sharp one from her ninja tool pouch, handing it to him.

The moment he took the kunai, Yun Xi crouched down and wrote the two characters for "Future" in the smooth dirt...

He then stood up and gestured for Hyuga Hiashi to look.

"Future?!"

Seeing these two characters, a flicker of confusion instantly appeared on Hyuga Hiashi's face, and he asked Yun Xi, "I told you to tell me the evolution method of the Byakugan; why did you write these two words?"

"That's right, I am telling you the evolution method of the Byakugan."

Facing the bewildered Hyuga Hiashi, Yun Xi laughed. "The Byakugan, a dojutsu-type Kekkei Genkai unique to the Hyuga Clan, is generally divided into the Telescopic Eye, the Perspective Eye, and the Insight Eye. These three possess unique Byakugan traits. Am I right?"

This kid really knows...

As Yun Xi finished speaking, Hyuga Hiashi was secretly calculating the meaning behind Yun Xi's words and the word "Future."

Indeed, the Byakugan was a Kekkei Genkai unique to the Hyuga Clan, and these three different forms were no secret within the clan.

But Yun Xi was merely an outsider...

Yet he knew the Byakugan like the back of his hand.

This couldn't help but stir a flicker of anticipation in Hyuga Hiashi's heart, though he didn't let it show on his face. Instead, he said with a tone of disdain, "You're right, but anyone who does a little research on the Byakugan would know that!"

"Oh?!"

Watching Hyuga Hiashi pretend to be calm, Yun Xi instantly feigned extreme surprise and asked, "Then does Uncle also know what other functions the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan possesses?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi could no longer suppress his shock and immediately pressed, "The Byakugan has other abilities?"

To Hyuga Hiashi, if what Yun Xi said was true, it was absolutely a matter that could overturn the Hyuga Clan.

Having ruled the Hyuga Clan for decades, Hyuga Hiashi had never heard that the Byakugan had any other forms beyond the three known ones!

And now, a little brat was telling him that the Byakugan wasn't limited to just those abilities...

In an instant.

Hyuga Hiashi felt as if his worldview had been shattered...

"Beyond the three traditional abilities, the Byakugan also possesses the power to traverse space, the power to foresee the future, and the power to release a formidable pressure."

Seeing the confusion on Hyuga Hiashi's face, Yun Xi didn't hold back and directly revealed several of the Byakugan's high-level abilities.

He then continued, "This Kekkei Genkai is absolutely no weaker than the Sharingan. Once the Byakugan is evolved to its peak, it can even evolve into the Yellow Eye, which can release a unique space-time ninjutsu..."

"Yomotsu Hirasaka."

After a brief pause, Yun Xi directly named the space-time ninjutsu unleashed by Otsutsuki Urashiki.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that..."

If what Yun Xi had said previously had merely planted a seed of expectation in Hyuga Hiashi's heart, then as Yun Xi spoke the name of this space-time ninjutsu, the emotions within Hyuga Hiashi could no longer be described as mere surprise...

From Yun Xi's description, Hyuga Hiashi saw the possibility of the Hyuga Clan's rise...

To dominate Konoha...

And perhaps even dominate the entire ninja world!

This guy...

Yun Xi could see that Hyuga Hiashi was clearly lost in thought, but he did not say anything more, instead slowly beginning to explain the abilities of Yomotsu Hirasaka to him.

After all, only when the bait was irresistibly fragrant would the fish take the hook...

"Yomotsu Hirasaka is a top-tier space-time ninjutsu, even more powerful than the Fourth Hokage's signature Flying Thunder God Technique. Simply put, it utilizes the power of the Byakugan to open a black portal, allowing the user to traverse within the same space or move freely between the real world and different dimensions."

"To think such a ninjutsu could exist in this world!"

After hearing Yun Xi's explanation, Hyuga Hiashi could already imagine the terror of this technique...

Traversing between spaces...

In Hyuga Hiashi's mind, this was no longer a ninjutsu that a human could perform.

Only a god could achieve such a feat...

In other words.

As long as one possessed the ultimate form of the Byakugan...

He would be a god...

He would be the one and only true god of the ninja world!

Has this guy been swindled into madness by me?

Yun Xi watched Hyuga Hiashi, who was alternating between laughter and excitement, while thinking to himself...

However, if Yun Xi knew what Hyuga Hiashi was thinking at this moment, he would certainly tell him.

You're overthinking it...

There were many who wanted to be the god of the ninja world.

Pain...

Kabuto...

Uchiha Obito...

Uchiha Madara...

Yun Xi pondered, and it seemed the fates of these guys were all quite miserable...

Even somewhat pathetic...

Sigh, wouldn't it be better to just honestly be a Konoha Genin?
