The eyes that Hyuga Hiashi gave to Aoba were all from the Main Family. This is almost unimaginable to Hyuga.
Aoba is not polite either. The research on Sharingan has entered a bottleneck period, and it is natural to turn to Byakugan.
It's a pity that he can't see now, so a lot of research can only be done by assistants in the laboratory.
Byakugan is different from Sharingan.
Sharingan has many abilities, including dynamic visual enhancement, Genjutsu enhancement, Genjutsu rebound, and even Mangekyō's unique ability.
These abilities all require their own chakra, plus the unique Ocular Power implementation of Sharingan.
But Byakugan is different. Byakugan has only one ability, which is to strengthen vision.
This kind of enhancement is all-round. Dynamic, static, and even perspective effects. Taken together, it is the special effect of Byakugan.
This special effect is more of a biological effect.
Yes, according to laboratory research, these effects of Byakugan are more derived from the special structure at the biological level.
This is also an important reason why almost all Hyuga can turn on Byakugan. As long as the blood flow continues, every Hyuga person has this special physiological structure. As the body grows, turning on Byakugan is almost a matter of course.
This is also the reason why Byakugan seldom mentions Ocular Power. Because the special effects of Byakugan are not completed by Ocular Power.
But not relying on Ocular Power to complete it does not mean that there is no Ocular Power. According to laboratory research, Byakugan contains a special kind of chakra inside. If nothing else, it should be Ocular Power of Byakugan.
But this Ocular Power is in an inert state. Not only is it well hidden, but even if it is noticed, it cannot be affected at all.
Aoba tried to use chakra to stimulate Ocular Power inside Byakugan. But it only caused Byakugan's biological form to change.
That is, Byakugan is turned on. It has almost no impact on the special inert chakra inside Byakugan.
Hyuga is actually not unaware of this. At least Hiashi knows about it. He told Aoba that in the early years, Hyuga also tried to advance Byakugan.
But in the end they all failed. The Ocular Power inside Byakugan seems to be just a manifestation of incomplete evolution and has no effect at all.
Aoba also didn't think he could surpass Hyuga's own research in this area in a short period of time. So he shifted his goal to biological research.
The structure of Byakugan is very complex, even more complex than Sharingan. And it does not use chakra at all.
When performing form transformation, a certain amount of chakra still needs to be injected before it can be turned on.
The opening of Sharingan requires the stimulation of Mental Power. The fusion of Eternal Eye relies on some kind of completion.
So the initial goal of Aoba is to know whether Byakugan is the same as Sharingan.
This is not a simple task. It took the laboratory a full month to complete the analysis of Byakugan.
The final answer is, yes. Byakugan is indeed imperfect and there are areas that need to be completed.
Aoba infers that after Byakugan is completed, it should be Tenseigan that appeared in the plot.
Unfortunately, how to complete Byakugan is still an unknown problem.
Hyuga Hiashi is also very concerned about the research of Byakugan. He often comes to the laboratory to inquire about the progress.
"We once tried to fuse Byakugan, but it was not successful. There is a strong repulsion between different Byakugans and they cannot be fused at all. In order not to waste Byakugan, Hyuga stopped this experiment very early."
Hiashi basically blocked the road to fusion. But Aoba was not willing to give in. Because he knew a piece of information that Hyuga didn't know.
That was the Giant Tenseigan on the moon. He remembered that the giant eye was obtained by fusion using Byakugan.
However, the specific integration is not explained in detail in the plot.
But he also has an idea. If Mangekyō Sharingan wants to advance, it is subject to bloodline conditions, which means that Mangekyō, a blood relative, needs to complete some kind of completion.
There should be some special restrictions on the advancement of Byakugan. This restriction must be found and overcome to complete the fusion of Byakugan.
But what exactly the restrictions are, still needs to be tested bit by bit.
Aoba's behavior of being bored in the laboratory all day quickly aroused dissatisfaction. Mainly Tsunade and Yumi.
Especially Tsunade.
Because every time Aoba enters the laboratory, there is no one to help her with her official duties. Even her former little cotton-padded jacket, Shizune, is now blatantly staying out at night, and Tenten and Kakashi are getting tired of each other.
Tsunade, who gained and then lost his great-grandfather, was extremely dissatisfied with Aoba's behavior, so he rushed into the laboratory and dragged him out.
"... You are Hokage, you should pay attention to your image." Aoba is always a little helpless when facing Tsunade.
Tsunade is not a soft-tempered person like Yumi. She has a strong and assertive personality and doesn't care about other people's eyes when she does things.
"Hey, you still know that I am Hokage. Then who made me wear the Hokage robe last time..."
Before he could finish what he said, he was blocked by Aoba. He was convinced by this shameless woman, who dared to say anything with her mouth open.
After spending most of the day and destroying half of the laboratory, we finally slept with our Lord Hokage.
The two were lying on the bed in the lounge talking.
This is a very rare scene for the two of them. Tsunade has always had a style of treating Aoba as a tool man. Every time he starts chasing people away after sleeping.
But this time it was different. Aoba could feel that Tsunade, who seemed carefree on the surface, seemed to be a little different on the inside.
"Aoba, is it really true that my great-grandfather can't come back?"
"I'm not sure about this. But I have to give you a vaccination. Don't have too much hope."
"Why did things become like this? Even a powerful person like Grandpa can't resist?"
"This is not a question of whether it is powerful or not. In other words, the power of Hashirama Senju itself has a strong component of human intervention."
Tsunade was silent for a while after hearing this, then stood up and lay on Aoba and said.
"Help me, Aoba."
"Didn't I just help?"
"Shut up, that's not what I'm talking about. I need to become stronger, at least when the crisis you mentioned comes, I can handle it."
"Listen to me, I can..."
"Aoba Kamikawa, listen to me, I am Hokage. I am the guardian of Konoha. If one day, the crisis really comes, you should stand behind me."
"... Okay. What do you want to do?"
"I want to upgrade my Strength of a Hundred Technique. The current Strength of a Hundred Technique, even if it is completely liberated, can no longer keep up with your combat power. Therefore, I need to re-develop and perfect a stronger technique."
"No problem, you can use all the Sealing Jutsu data and resources in the laboratory."
"Very well, now leave my laboratory and get to work."
"... But this is my laboratory."
"It's mine now."
"Tsunade..."
"I am Hokage!"
Bang!!!
