Konoha Year 60, A Luxurious Status Panel

Time flew, and the years passed like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, childhood had reached its end.

Late March of Konoha Year 60.

The most extraordinary generation of newcomers had finally arrived at their graduation season.

"Izayoi-kun, wake up. You still have your Graduation Exam today."

Izayoi had rarely slept in today.

Lost in a dream, he was pulled back to reality by a gentle female voice.

The owner of that voice was right beside Izayoi, yet she had not startled him awake. This showed just how much Izayoi trusted her—he had not been wary of her in the slightest.

He opened his eyes, and the girl's outline gradually grew clearer through his blurry vision.

A beautiful, delicate little face that had shed its childishness appeared before Izayoi's eyes.

Her long, jet-black hair, which she had deliberately grown out over the past six years, fell like silk over her shoulders and down to her waist. The skin exposed outside her White Coat and Black Fishnet Undershirt was as fair as snow.

Unlike the other members of the Hyuga Clan, her Byakugan held a faint, indistinct violet hue, making her beautiful eyes look like translucent precious gems.

The corners of her cherry-colored lips curved slightly upward, carrying a faint smile. With both hands behind her back, she leaned over and looked at Izayoi, who had just woken up.

After staring into Hinata's eyes for several seconds, Izayoi felt somewhat dazed. It seemed as though that adorable little face, still full of baby fat, had only been there yesterday.

However, his gaze soon suddenly dropped lower, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Hinata, have you grown again?"

"Ah..."

Hinata cried out in surprise, only then realizing how indecent her current pose was.

She hurriedly pulled the zipper of her coat all the way up. Turning around with a flushed face, she said in a slightly trembling voice, "I... Izayoi-kun, go wash up. I brought you breakfast."

After saying that, the girl hurriedly left the room.

After habitually teasing his childhood friend, Izayoi got up, stretched, and went to the Private Bathroom in his room to wash up.

As he brushed his teeth, Izayoi looked at himself in the mirror.

Six years had passed. The black-haired, blue-eyed child with a face full of baby fat had also shed his childishness. His features were sharply defined, as though carved, and he was delicate and handsome.

His black hair, cut short enough to cover his ears, looked slightly tousled from just waking up.

His blue eyes were like a deep ocean, rippling with sparkling light under the lamps.

Yet in the next second, those blue eyes—which were the same color as Naruto Uzumaki's, though slightly deeper—suddenly turned white in the pupils, just like Hinata's.

Under the light, they likewise carried a faint, indistinct violet hue.

However, the veins at both of Izayoi's temples did not bulge.

Whenever Izayoi activated his Byakugan before, the veins at his temples would always bulge.

But since the beginning of the year, that characteristic had disappeared.

Izayoi narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, a Light Screen that only he could see and that could not even be reflected in the mirror appeared out of thin air before him.

Host: Izayoi

Talent Perks: Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red), Sage Eye (Red), Prince of the Byakugan (Red), Six Paths Potential (Red), Bloodline Limit (Gold), Chakra Control (Gold), Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple) "+", All-Attribute Constitution (Purple) "+", Medical Genius (Blue) "+"

Points: 12391

After six years at the ninja academy, Izayoi's Status Panel had become even more impressive.

Aside from his original Otsutsuki Bloodline, he had gained three additional Red Perks.

They were the Sage Eye (Red) obtained from Sasuke Uchiha; the Prince of the Byakugan (Red), which had burst from Hinata two years ago and automatically been renamed after fusion; and finally, the Six Paths Potential (Red) that he had elevated himself.

While everyone else possessed only Ninja Aptitude, and some did not even have a single Talent Perk, Izayoi possessed four Red Perks—the highest known tier at present.

Even the Child of Destiny, Naruto Uzumaki, who possessed Asura Chakra, half of the Nine-Tails, and the Uzumaki Bloodline, was far inferior to him.

However, a closer look at this Status Panel revealed that nearly five full years had passed since Izayoi fused with the Sage Eye (Red).

Yet his perk bar still had not unlocked Bloodline Limit (Purple), nor the Uchiha Bloodline (Purple).

The reason was naturally... Bloodline Limit (Gold).

In late June of Year 58 of Konoha, Izayoi received a belated birthday present and finally obtained a Red Perk from Hinata.

After the fusion, the perk's name changed. Over the following two years, the amount of Chakra within Izayoi's body changed almost every month.

He did not know how astonishing the amount of Chakra in a Sage Body was, but Izayoi was absolutely certain that if Naruto Uzumaki did not have half of the Nine-Tails and was not malnourished, then relying solely on his Sage Body, his Chakra volume would be far lower than Izayoi's.

His vast, ocean-like Chakra naturally included Yin Release Chakra.

If Izayoi's Yin Release Chakra were converted into numerical values, it would have long since reached the level required to awaken the Sharingan, or even evolve it into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Yet he had not awakened the Sharingan.

All the Yin Release Chakra secreted by his brain was absorbed by the Byakugan. It could not gather in his eyeballs and give rise to a new eye technique.

However, the Byakugan that absorbed this Yin Release Chakra quietly changed from Purple to Gold in Konoha Year 59.

Ever since fusing with the Prince of the Byakugan (Red), Izayoi's Byakugan's long-distance vision had likewise changed at regular intervals.

Now, the long-distance vision of his Byakugan had reached an astonishing eighty kilometers.

Moreover, it provided omnidirectional long-distance vision and X-ray vision across 360 degrees. This range was even more frightening than the Uzumaki Clan's Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

Without a doubt, Izayoi's Sensing Technique had already reached the strongest level of this era.

Nearly a year had also passed since his Byakugan had leveled up.

"Soon..."

Izayoi rinsed his mouth and spat out the foamy water. After drying his lips with a handkerchief, he raised a hand and touched the corner of his right eye. Looking at the faintly violet Byakugan in the mirror, he murmured, "I have a feeling that the First Fetal Movement will arrive before long."

Izayoi's current configuration was undoubtedly far superior to Otsutsuki Toneri's.

By the age of nineteen, Toneri's potential had already been realized. His Otsutsuki Bloodline, like a Sage Body, had already been developed to a very high level.

That was precisely why he had been able to awaken the Ultimate Eye Technique in just a few days.

But at present, neither Izayoi nor Otsutsuki Toneri had realized their full potential.

Even if they transplanted Hinata's or Hanabi's Byakugan, they could not evolve it into the Tenseigan within a few days like in the movie.

However, if he transplanted Byakugan at the same time, Izayoi's speed in awakening the Tenseigan would absolutely surpass Otsutsuki Toneri's.

The Sage Eye (Red) was Izayoi's confidence.

Possessing both the Sage Eye and the Prince of the Byakugan, Izayoi was equivalent to having two acceleration cheats activated.

At twelve years old, he already had the possibility of awakening the Ultimate Eye Technique.

That was even more outrageous than Uchiha Itachi awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan at eleven.
