The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Water Release: Water Barrage!

Hiashi Hyuga did not attempt to take the hits head-on. With the help of his Byakugan's powerful perception, he dodged the incoming water cannons one after another in the narrowest of gaps. The ground of the entire training ground instantly became pitted and uneven under the roar, and the scattered water flow accumulated to a depth that was enough to submerge the calves.

Can they escape?

As Hyuga Zechen fell through the air, he formed hand seals and slammed his palms against the water's surface upon landing, creating a spray of water.

"That technique is..."

The Byakugan had been fixed on Hyuga Hiashi, and through his hand seals and movements, it immediately identified the ninjutsu used by Hyuga Zetsu.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion Technique!

A-rank Water Release ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

Are all young people these days so amazing?

Perhaps the future of my Hyuga clan rests on his shoulders!

The water on the training ground seemed to boil, forming a huge vortex without leaving any blind spots in the blink of an eye. Then the water surged upwards, converging into huge, ferocious water dragons that rose and fell from different directions, tearing at Hyuga Hiashi.

Hyuga Hiashi unleashed two different Gentle Fist techniques to break through the incoming water dragons, and then used his Byakugan and agile movements to dodge twice more. However, the number of water dragons gathering from all directions did not decrease but increased, and his right leg suddenly tightened as a rope formed from a stream of water climbed up to his ankle.

Although Hiashi Hyuga's chakra suddenly erupted, instantly freeing him from the water ropes binding his feet, even with this slight restraint, five enormous water dragons simultaneously attacked from different directions with astonishing force!

Hiashi Hyuga's gaze sharpened, and just as he was about to use the Reversal Technique again to buy himself a chance to catch his breath, the five water dragons that were swooping down suddenly stopped in mid-air and completely collapsed.

"So the chakra consumption for using an A-rank ninjutsu is this terrifying?"

Hinata Zechen breathed heavily for a few moments, his upright body swaying slightly, as if his chakra had been completely exhausted.

Your acting is so exaggerated, you know that?

Also, with my Byakugan activated right now, do you think I wouldn't know how much chakra you have?

Hiashi Hyuga's brow twitched rapidly several times. He withdrew his hand, which was about to unleash the Resurrection Technique, and was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Not only does he possess such astonishing strength at such a young age, but he is also so precocious. Could it be that my Hyuga clan has finally produced a peerless genius comparable to the First Hokage?

Most importantly, Hinata Sawa is only thirteen years old and has unlimited potential for the future!

Perhaps in my lifetime I will be able to witness the Hyuga clan take another step forward and successfully become Hokage?

Although it was only a few rounds of fighting, Hyuga Hiashi could easily judge Hyuga Zechen's strength. Looking at the entire Hyuga clan, apart from him, the clan head, who could reliably suppress him, there was no other Jonin in the clan who could reliably defeat Hyuga Zechen.

Hiashi Hyuga was just overwhelmed by Hyuga Zetsu, not because he lacked strength, but because he lost the initiative from the start due to underestimating Hyuga Zetsu. In addition, Hiashi Hyuga was completely unaware of Hyuga Zetsu's methods, which allowed Hyuga Zetsu to gain the upper hand.

If the battle drags on, Hiashi Hyuga is confident that he can gradually turn the tide and regain the initiative.

But without a doubt, the strength and methods that Hyuga Zechen has demonstrated are enough to give the Hyuga clan another newly promoted Jonin.

A thirteen-year-old Jonin!

Chapter 11 Reincarnation Eye

As the battle ended, Hinata Hyuga rushed over and reached out her arms to support Sawa Tatsumi.

"Brother Zechen, are you alright?"

Seeing his daughter so close to Hyuga Zetsu, Hyuga Hiashi was no longer worried and instead showed a faint smile.

Unlike the Senju clan, who are fully integrated into Konoha Village, the Hyuga clan has a rule that, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, the main family members, including the head family, can only choose to marry within the clan.

Looking at the next generation of main family disciples, the only unmarried and suitable candidate for Hinata is Hyuga Sawatatsu. So even though he knew that Hinata had secretly gone to Hyuga Sawatatsu, who was known as a good-for-nothing, Hyuga Hiashi chose to turn a blind eye and focused most of his attention on Hanabi, who was more suitable to inherit the position of head of the family.

In retrospect, it turned out to be a case of mistaken belief turning out to be a blessing in disguise...

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Hinata trying to suppress her shyness, her two fair little hands groping Hyuga Zechen's body without any hesitation, as if afraid that her father had hurt him somewhere, Hyuga Hiashi could no longer hold back and coughed twice.

"Father..."

After confirming that Hyuga Zechen was not injured, and hearing Hyuga Hiashi cough, he realized how impulsive his actions had been.

Realizing that her actions had been witnessed by her father and sister, Hinata's face flushed crimson, white mist rose from her head, and she fainted instantly. Fortunately, Hyuga Zechen had anticipated this and caught Hinata's petite and soft body in his arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.

When Hinata opened her eyes, she found herself being held in Hyuga Zetsu's arms, while Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hanabi were nowhere to be seen.

Where is Father?

Although she longed for the warmth that Hinata Sawatatsu had given her, it felt like she had returned to the snowy day when she was a child and got lost, when Hinata Sawatatsu chased away the children who were bullying her and held her in his arms.

Hinata, however, mustered her remaining strength to break free from Hyuga Sawatatsu's embrace, suppressing her shyness as she looked around.

"The head of the family took Hanabi back first and asked me to take good care of you."

Hearing Hinata Sawatatsu's gentle voice, Hinata's cute earlobes turned bright red again.

"I...I'm going back now. See you tomorrow, Brother Zechen."

After stammering through her words, Hinata waved to Hyuga Zechen and then turned to leave the training ground.

"The head of the family just said that if I can get first place in the Chunin Exams this time, he will ask my grandfather to come and ask for my hand in marriage."

Upon hearing such provocative words, steam rose from Hinata's head again, she stumbled and nearly fell, and dared not look behind her.

Hinata believes that Ze Chen-nii can definitely do it.

After taking a few unsteady steps, Hinata suddenly stopped and, in a trembling voice barely above a whisper, finished speaking before jogging away from the training ground.

Hmm, looks like there's another reason to go all out. Let me think, besides Gaara who can barely be considered, who else are some noteworthy opponents in the Chunin Exams?

Hinata Zechen pondered as he slowly walked out of the training ground, leaving behind a mess.

-----------------

Starting the following day, Hinata Sawa Tatsumi resumed his usual routine, sleeping until late morning before leisurely getting up.

Aside from completing a ninja mission every three days, Hyuga Zechen rarely left the Hyuga clan's territory, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Five months later, late at night.

Hinata Zetsu, who seemed to be sleeping soundly in bed, suddenly sat up for no reason, his open Byakugan shining brightly in the darkness.

Name: Hinata Sawatatsu

Blood Succession Limit: White Eyes LV2 (1996+5/2000)

LV1 Effect: After undergoing training that is unimaginable for ordinary people, your pupil power has been enhanced in an unimaginable way. Your field of vision, perspective, and insight will continue to increase with your pupil power.

LV2 Effect: Intimidation. Consumes eye power to unleash an intimidating aura from the Byakugan. The depletion of eye power causes enemies to suffer negative effects such as dizziness, knockback, and damage.

Chakra LV4 (5018+8/20000)

Water Release LV4 (5006+6/20000)

Should I upgrade my level if my experience with the "White Eyes" skill meets the promotion requirements?

Faced with the question that popped up on the light screen, Hinata Sawatatsu thought for a moment and chose to confirm the upgrade.

The next moment, a dazzling blue light burst forth from Hinata Zechen's eyes, illuminating the entire room with unparalleled brightness.

"This is... the Tenseigan?"

Without a mirror, Hinata Zechen's vision was distorted like light, allowing him to see his face in the dim light and the pair of eyes emitting a pale blue glow within his eye sockets.

White Eye LV3 (5001/20000)

LV3 Effect: After unimaginable training, your pupil power has reached its current limit, and you have successfully awakened the Reincarnation Eye.

He actually awakened the Tenseigan in one go?

For Hinata Sawatatsu, this was naturally an unexpected delight.

According to Hinata Zechen's original guess, as his Byakugan power continued to improve, he would one day reach the level of the Otsutsuki clan, so that the Byakugan would no longer be just an auxiliary eye technique, but a powerful eye technique like the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan.

While both are Byakugan, the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan are completely different. It is clear that even if the Hyuga clan maintains intermarriage, it is difficult to reverse the gradual degeneration of their bloodline, resulting in the Byakugan gradually declining and losing all trace of the demeanor of the progenitor of chakra.

The successful awakening of the Tenseigan clearly indicates that Hyuga Zetsu's Byakugan has reached its final form, evolving to its ultimate limit.

However, the joy lasted only a few breaths before disappearing.

After sorting through the information from his bloodline, Hinata Sawatatsu was disappointed to find that, due to insufficient eye power, his Tenseigan was not in its complete state. He could only use a portion of its abilities and had not reached the complete state of the Tenseigan.

Unable to activate Tenseigan Chakra Mode, unable to condense Tenseigan Chakra Prayer Beads, and unable to unleash the most powerful Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

You need to raise your Byakugan to at least LV4 to master all the abilities of the Tenseigan.

It seems that we need to adjust the time allocation of the training camp in the future, and further focus on improving the Byakugan!

After a brief period of disappointment, Hinata Zetsu quickly adjusted his mindset and began to examine the various abilities he had gained when he activated the Tenseigan.

Glancing at the barely dawning sky, Hyuga Zechen, far from sleepy, left his room and went to the Hyuga clan's training ground.

Facing a wooden dummy used for shuriken training, Hyuga Zechen opened his right palm from afar, and green chakra gradually covered the surface of his palm, then condensed into a green ball of light the size of a fist, which he then blasted out in a flash.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire wooden figure was not only pierced through instantly, but also shattered into pieces by the explosion of the green light sphere, turning into a pile of broken wood.

It's at least equivalent to a B-rank ninjutsu, and it doesn't even require hand seals.

Hyuga Zechen nodded, quite satisfied with the power of the chakra orb.

Most importantly, if this chakra ball were to strike a ninja, even if it was successfully blocked, as the owner of the Tenseigan, Hyuga Zetsu could remotely absorb the opponent's chakra through the chakra ball, and the extraction speed was astonishing.

Once his chakra is exhausted, the enemy will naturally be at Hyuga Sawa's mercy.

Just as Hyuga Zechen was preparing to test other abilities, footsteps suddenly sounded in the training ground. It was obviously the Hyuga clan members who had gotten up early and rushed over after hearing the commotion.

Chapter 12 Danzo's Scheme

"strangeness……"

A member of the Hyuga branch family stepped into the training ground. Looking at the empty field, he subconsciously scratched his head, not noticing that one of the wooden figures on the sidelines was missing.

"Whether it's my clan or Konoha Village, there are too many people and too many eyes on me. It seems I need to find an opportunity to leave the village..."

Returning silently to his room and lying back on his bed, Hyuga Zetsu began to consider whether he should accept a ninja mission to gain a chance to temporarily leave Konoha Village.

However, both the village and the clan protect the Byakugan very closely. Especially after the incident where the Hidden Cloud Village attempted to kidnap Hinata in order to obtain the Byakugan, this level of vigilance has been raised several notches.

In particular, as a member of the main family, Hyuga Sawatatsu is not entirely without a chance to leave, but the application process will be extremely complicated and may even alarm the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
