The real battle

Looking at the reflection of his right eye in his kunai, Neji took off his mask. Sure enough, the reflection showed that the blue-green Caged Bird Seal on his forehead had completely disappeared.

"Hahaha..." Looking at his unmarked forehead, Neji laughed more freely than he ever had before!

The disappearance of the Caged Bird Seal meant he had regained his freedom. From now on, he could soar like a bird through the boundless sky and swim like a fish through the vast sea!

"I'm finally free again!" Neji laughed until tears spilled from the corners of his eyes.

Only after losing freedom could one understand how precious it was!

Just as Neji was basking in his delight, a strange pulse suddenly came from his right eye. It was an indescribable fluctuation, filled with a craving for chakra.

At the same time, Neji instinctively gained a wealth of knowledge about how to use the Tenseigan.

Suddenly, Neji felt at least half his chakra being absorbed by the golden Tenseigan.

"This is eye awakening... so it really does have to go through this process." Neji's expression changed as he realized his Tenseigan had not truly stabilized yet.

After the Byakugan evolved into the Tenseigan, it needed to undergo eye awakening before its form could truly stabilize. Otherwise, it could revert to the Byakugan.

Otsutsuki Toneri was a perfect example. After he stole Hanabi Hyuga's Byakugan and evolved them into the Tenseigan, he fought a fierce battle with Naruto Uzumaki during the awakening period. Things went wrong, and after taking a brutal beating, his Tenseigan reverted to the Byakugan.

"This is bad... just how many awakenings does it need..." Neji muttered to himself.

Each Tenseigan awakening required an enormous amount of chakra. More importantly, Neji had no idea how many awakenings it would
