Inside Flying Fish Town.
A Mist Ninja in a navy-blue robe moved his index and middle fingers away from his right eye.
His right eye could be seen wrapped in a layer of black cloth, with faint traces of a Sealing Technique still visible on it.
This man was none other than Qian, the Kirigakure Jonin known as the "Byakugan Killer."
The right eye he kept covered was precisely a Byakugan.

These things are still too rigid after all, whether in transport or in use.
