"Chakra is composed of physical energy extracted from 130 trillion cells in the human body, and spiritual energy accumulated through much training. The amount of chakra determines a ninja's strength and quality. Generally, ninjas with large chakra reserves achieve this after countless trials and missions. Although you are currently students, you will also experience this kind of life in the future..."
The Chunin instructor at the podium lectured endlessly, while below, a pile of students had already dozed off.
The routine lessons were soporific, and Rakawa, too, had laid his head on his desk, disappointing many who expected to see a genius diligently studying.
"Is he really a genius? He's sleeping in class."
"Was the strength he showed earlier fake? He's so lazy, nothing like a diligent genius. If I had that talent, I'd already be famous throughout the shinobi world."
Some boys' tones were a bit sour. The title of genius always came with countless accolades.
In fact, Rakawa wasn't lazy; his strength had long surpassed the level required for Ninja Academy graduation. He didn't need to attend the academy's lessons; he was here because of the Clan Head's mission and to investigate another matter.
Chakra cultivation was his most urgent task, something he diligently pursued at all times.
The Hyuga Clan's talent in taijutsu was extraordinary. Among Konoha Village's taijutsu experts, aside from a select few, the rest were from the Hyuga Clan.
The Gentle Fist style was renowned throughout the shinobi world, serving as one of the Hyuga Clan's defenses, along with the Byakugan.
The Byakugan is one of the three great ocular powers, possessing a 360-degree field of vision (the Branch Family's Byakugan has a one-degree blind spot due to the cursed seal). It can see the flow of chakra in the surrounding environment, and also has telescopic vision for distant objects and X-ray vision for seeing through objects. It can even see the opponent's circulatory system and pressure points. By amplifying the eye's abilities with chakra, it can see things up to a kilometer away, its insight surpassing the Sharingan.
Since he was not branded with the Caged Bird Seal, there was no blind spot.
This ocular power originated from Otsutsuki Kaguya, a Bloodline Limit inherited from her second son, Otsutsuki Hamura.
The Byakugan's power was incredibly strong, astonishingly so. If multiple Byakugan were gathered, they could evolve into the Tenseigan, which possessed the power to destroy and create.
However, his Byakugan was a bit strange. Perhaps a problem occurred during his transmigration, causing his Byakugan to mutate. In addition to its known abilities, it possessed another power: absorption.
This absorption ability had previously only manifested against the Hyuga Main Family. Every time he activated his eyes and saw a Main Family member, or even other clan members, a voice in his heart seemed to tell him to absorb, to absorb the life before him.
But he suppressed this voice. The Hyuga Clan had treated him well, so how could he commit such an atrocious act?
Yet, during his fight with Uchiha Fugaku earlier, that voice reappeared, leading him to a bold speculation.
Perhaps this mutated Byakugan's ability wasn't just directed at the Main Family, but at Bloodline Limits themselves!
Could the Byakugan possess the ability to absorb Bloodline Limits? This was something he had never imagined.
But if this peculiar ability could be developed, could it give rise to another type of ninjutsu? A ninjutsu unique to him alone?
If successful, then this would be another Bloodline Limit, a completely new Bloodline Limit.
Based on current research, this Byakugan's ability has great potential for improvement. The absorption attribute should be perfectly utilized. This would not only provide an advantage against Bloodline Limits but also against other ninjutsu.
Currently, his chakra reserves were only at the Genin level, a rather disheartening amount.
As a transmigrator, his mental energy was much stronger than others, but chakra is generated by the fusion of physical and spiritual energy. Having excessively strong spiritual energy alone didn't offer many benefits.
However, strong spiritual energy did have a significant effect against genjutsu. If this trend continued, he might be able to resist many genjutsu in the future, perhaps even becoming immune.
The terrifying power of genjutsu was unbelievable. If he could become immune, that would be a fortunate thing.
Although his chakra was only at the Genin level, he was confident he could defeat a Chunin if they fought, because his Byakugan was mutated.
Of course, another power supported his confidence: his three elemental chakra affinities—Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Three elements that could naturally be activated simultaneously for nature transformation, fusing Earth, Wind, and Fire into a new Release: Dust Release!
Dust Release is not a Bloodline Limit, but a Bloodline Expansion that transcends Bloodline Limits.
A Bloodline Limit is the innate combination of any two chakra nature transformations into a new nature transformation, while a Bloodline Expansion involves the combination of three chakra nature transformations. Users of this chakra attribute are extremely rare.
Currently, there is another Dust Release user in the shinobi world: the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki.
However, Rakawa's Dust Release was different from Onoki's. Although it involved the same three nature transformations, it had also mutated, possessing even greater power.
Both his Bloodline Limit and Bloodline Expansion had mutated. Rakawa continuously improved these two abilities, delving deeper into their study, and reaped immense rewards.
It was because of these two abilities that he was confident in fighting opponents one rank higher.
A long time passed. The dismissal bell rang, and Rakawa slowly looked up, walking out without a word.
The so-called classmates in this classroom were just little kids in his eyes.
Just as he reached the classroom door, Uchiha Fugaku blocked his path.
"Hyuga Rakawa!"
Uchiha Fugaku's face was grim, his teeth gritted, his fierce gaze fixed on Rakawa.
"What kind of skill is a sneak attack? If you're capable, fight me fair and square."
The students in the classroom stopped, seemingly waiting for Rakawa's response.
Rakawa looked at the other party indifferently, showing no joy or sorrow, his thoughts unfathomable.
Another prominent student in the academy, seeing the situation, quickly spoke up, "This is a school, not a battlefield. We should be peaceful."
"Shut up! This has nothing to do with you, Minato Namikaze."
"It has nothing to do with you either, Uchiha Fugaku!"
