Bab 260: Chapter 260: Tenseigan Experiment
"Shishou, can I really awaken the Tenseigan?"
Seeing Hyuga Rimei looking at him nervously, Shishou smiled and said, "You possess special Byakugan, so you can certainly awaken the Tenseigan. However, it might take some time."
Shishou's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, 'Takamagahara,' could accelerate and lock biological growth states.
Thus, Hyuga Rimei's physical state was naturally locked in place.
Even if Hyuga Rimei's age continued to increase beyond thirty, her special Byakugan wouldn't disappear.
As long as there was enough time, having Hyuga Rimei successfully awaken the Tenseigan was not a problem for Shishou.
"Then I'm relieved." Hearing Shishou's affirmative answer, Hyuga Rimei breathed a sigh of relief.
To her, if Shishou said it was possible, then it must be possible.
"Tenseigan???"
Hearing Shishou and Hyuga Rimei's conversation, Mikoto, Pakura, and the others looked over curiously.
Hyuga Rimei bit her lip and explained to them the relationship between the Tenseigan and the Byakugan.
"You mean, those two Otsutsuki used the power of the Tenseigan?"
After listening, Uchiha Mikoto looked at Hyuga Rimei in shock.
If that was true, Hyuga Rimei's strength might soon surpass hers.
And not just surpass, but directly leap over the super-Kage level and step into the Six Paths level.
"I'm so envious of you descendants of the Six Paths, the thousand-year-old families. Your bloodline powers are so ridiculously powerful," Pakura sighed, feeling both envious and jealous.
Originally, in Fire Source City, she was the strongest after Shishou.
Her diligent training in sage arts and mastery of curse mark techniques had rapidly elevated her strength to the Kage level.
However, since Mikoto and Izumi had awakened their Mangekyo Sharingan, their strength had transformed drastically, surpassing hers and leaving her far behind.
Now, even Hyuga Rimei, who was only at Chunin level, could evolve her Byakugan into Tenseigan and gain Six Paths-level strength.
This realization struck her hard.
Indeed, decades of hard work couldn't compare to the accumulation of a thousand years of bloodline power.
Anko and Hyuga Natsu nodded in agreement.
Personal effort seemed insignificant compared to the power of an exceptional bloodline.
Seeing Natsu nod along, Mikoto laughed.
"Pakura and Anko saying this is one thing, but you, a member of the Hyuga clan, nodding too?"
Hyuga Natsu shook her head matter-of-factly, "We branch family members have our Byakugan limited by the Caged Bird seal, and we can only learn basic Gentle Fist techniques, not even as good as ordinary people."
The main family of the Hyuga clan strengthened their control over the branch family by not teaching them the main family's skills. Even common jutsu like Shadow Clone Technique were forbidden for the branch family.
Coupled with the Caged Bird seal, which could be used by the main family to take their lives at any time, their situation was indeed miserable.
Hearing Pakura and Natsu's complaints, Shishou smiled and said, "If you can master and excel in sage arts, you can still fight against Six Paths-level individuals."
"And Rimei's awakening of the Tenseigan won't be easy; it might take several years."
Although the ninja world valued bloodlines, Shishou didn't want this to discourage the others from their training.
"I guess I need to focus more on sage arts training," Pakura muttered, deciding to change her training approach.
Though she was initially discouraged, she quickly recovered.
After wandering around the moon with the women for a while longer, Shishou returned them to Fire Source City.
As soon as they returned, the women eagerly started their sage arts training.
Even Mikoto, who had been somewhat lax in her training after awakening the Mangekyo and Hashirama's power, joined in.
Although she was happy for Hyuga Rimei's potential to awaken the Tenseigan, it also gave her a sense of urgency and a feeling of impending competition.
Seeing the women immersed in their training, Shishou didn't disturb them and took Hyuga Rimei back to the secret base.
Next, he needed to work with Hyuga Rimei on awakening the Tenseigan.
...
In Shishou's secret laboratory.
Hyuga Rimei lay on the experiment table, her chest rising and falling rapidly, clearly nervous.
Noticing her unease, Shishou smiled and reassured her, "I'm just checking if there are any changes in your Byakugan, no need to be nervous."
The special Byakugan of the Hyuga clan contained a unique color, which decreased as the bearer aged.
Once the bearer surpassed thirty years of age, the color in the Byakugan would completely disappear, reverting to ordinary Byakugan.
Although Shishou was confident that his Mangekyo ability could lock Hyuga Rimei's physical state, keeping her at twenty-eight years old,
he still conducted monthly checks on the color of Hyuga Rimei's Byakugan to ensure nothing had changed.
Hearing this, Hyuga Rimei relaxed.
She had thought Shishou was going to conduct the Tenseigan experiment on her right away.
Seeing her relax, Shishou chuckled and gently held her head, carefully examining the color changes in her Byakugan.
Once he confirmed it was unchanged from the previous check, he was relieved.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he removed Hyuga Rimei's restraints.
Hyuga Rimei: "..."
"Didn't you say we wouldn't need to do this..." Hyuga Rimei blushed, trembling slightly, feeling a bit wronged as she looked at Shishou.
She was conservative by nature and felt uncomfortable even in front of her own man.
Shishou took out the mass of Phosphorus Bad Bugs he had absorbed from the Otsutsuki father and son, attached it to his hand, and smiled at Hyuga Rimei, "This is just to prepare in advance."
"After the experiment, we have other activities."
Hearing about other activities later, Hyuga Rimei's face turned crimson.
Seeing her successfully distracted, Shishou chuckled and pressed the hand with the Phosphorus Bad Bugs onto her forehead.
Reverse feedback!
The next second,
Hyuga Rimei felt a warm energy flowing from Shishou's hand, spreading from her forehead down to her toes.
The warm, gentle energy made her feel incredibly comfortable, her body trembling slightly, her face flushed.
Shishou's Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in his eyes as he injected energy into Hyuga Rimei, observing the changes in her chakra and the state of her Byakugan.
He wanted to see how her special Byakugan would react to the partial Otsutsuki bloodline.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Hyuga Rimei cried out in pain, clutching her eyes.
"Shishou, it hurts!"
