Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Tenseigan Permanently Activated
Let's leave aside the situation between Konan and Nagato for now.
This morning, Uchiha Akira woke up, ready to start another life simulation.
Yesterday, the Hidden Mist Village had sent over another twenty million ryō, so it was time for a new round of simulations!
However, before Akira could even begin, he heard an urgent shout from outside his room: "Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law! Are you up yet?"
"Hm? Is that Hanabi?" Akira thought, recognizing the voice.
The only person who would call him "brother-in-law" was Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister.
Before Akira could respond, the door suddenly swung open with a bang. Hanabi rushed in, her expression filled with urgency.
"Ah!" She gasped as she stepped into the room, immediately covering her eyes with her hands. "Brother-in-law! Why are you not wearing a shirt when you sleep?"
"I'm a man. It's not that strange to sleep without a shirt, right? It's not like I'm not wearing anything else," Akira thought to himself.
Looking at Hanabi, who still had her hands over her eyes, Akira couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, Hanabi, you can stop covering your eyes. Your clan's Byakugan has a 360-degree field of vision. Whether you turn around or cover your eyes, it's the same."
"It's not the same at all! When we use our Byakugan, everything appears in black and white. It's not nearly as vivid!" Hanabi hurriedly explained, defending herself.
Akira laughed at her response. "Oh, I see. So, do you often use your Byakugan to 'look' at people?"
"Brother-in-law! You-!" Hanabi, only thirteen years old, was completely embarrassed by Akira's teasing. Her face turned bright red.
"Hahaha!" Akira couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. She really was just like her sister, Hinata-a shy girl.
Of course, it was normal for a girl her age to feel shy after being teased like this. Unlike older women in their 20s or 30s, whose conversations could make even men blush, or women in their 40s and 50s who could shamelessly take over any conversation, these teenage girls were still easily embarrassed by a few teasing remarks.
"Alright, Hanabi, why are you here in such a rush? Is something wrong?" Akira asked, shifting the conversation back to the matter at hand.
Hearing Akira's question, Hanabi suddenly remembered the reason for her visit. "Brother- in-law, you need to come quickly! Something's wrong with my sister-it's her..."
Before Hanabi could finish, Akira's expression turned serious. Without waiting for an explanation, he vanished from her sight in an instant, moving as fast as lightning.
Using the Body Flicker Technique, Akira's speed was unmatched. Although the Hidden Leaf Village was large, it didn't take long for Akira to reach the Hyuga household.
"Akira, you're here!" greeted Hiashi, Hinata's father, as Akira arrived.
"I heard something's wrong with Hinata? Is her old injury acting up?" Akira asked, his voice filled with concern.
"No, it's her eyes," Hiashi replied, shaking his head.
Without wasting any time, Akira rushed to Hinata's room, where she lay on the bed,
seemingly unconscious, her face flushed red with fever.
Akira placed his hand on her forehead. Her body was burning up. The temperature was so high that Akira couldn't help but worry. "At this rate, she'll fry her brain!"
"Akira... is that you?" Hinata's voice was weak, but she stirred at his touch, opening her eyes slightly to look at him.
Akira looked into Hinata's eyes and was shocked to see that her eyes had turned a brilliant blue-the telltale sign of the Tenseigan!
"Hinata, why are your eyes in the Tenseigan state?" Akira asked in surprise.
The Tenseigan wasn't supposed to be activated unless one's chakra level had reached the Kage level. But Hinata's chakra level was only around six to seven thousand, still a ways off from the point where she should be able to maintain the Tenseigan continuously.
Yet here she was, with her Tenseigan permanently active.
Had her chakra level suddenly skyrocketed overnight? Even Akira's life simulator didn't make such rapid progress so easily.
"I've been trying to help you, Akira. I didn't want to keep being a burden, so I've been working on maintaining the Tenseigan..." Hinata said weakly. "I managed to activate it, but... my body isn't reacting well."
"I'm sorry, Akira. I've worried you again," Hinata's voice was soft and full of regret, clearly pained by the fact that she was causing Akira concern.
Akira felt a mix of emotions-frustration, sympathy, and even admiration. Hinata was always worried about being a burden, so much so that she had pushed herself beyond her limits to help him.
Her situation reminded Akira of the natural defense mechanisms of the body. Just like Kakashi, who had the Mangekyō Sharingan but only used the standard three-tomoe form because of his limited chakra, Hinata had already evolved her Byakugan into the Tenseigan, but her chakra wasn't enough to sustain it in everyday life.
But Hinata, determined to become stronger, had forced her body to keep the Tenseigan active despite the toll it was taking on her.
Akira reached out and gently patted Hinata's head, then placed his hand on her forehead again. This time, he wasn't just checking her temperature. He was using his chakra to examine her condition.
Although Akira wasn't a medical ninja, he had a deep understanding of the human body due to his high level of training.
By injecting his chakra into Hinata, Akira quickly discovered the problem. Her eyes had indeed fully transformed into the Tenseigan, but her chakra reserves were insufficient to maintain them. As a result, her body was burning through her chakra reserves at an alarming rate, like a constant drain on her energy.
In response, her body's defense mechanisms had kicked in, activating the cells that had been transplanted into her during a past treatment-cells from both Sasuke and Naruto. These cells, derived from the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, had been used by Orochimaru to help save her life, but now they were reacting to her forced chakra usage.
"In short, her body is in a tug-of-war," Akira thought. "On one side, the Tenseigan is constantly draining her chakra. On the other, her body is desperately trying to keep up." "Sigh... Pushing yourself to use powers beyond your limits is never a good idea," Akira thought with a heavy heart.
Hinata's condition wasn't life-threatening, but it wasn't good either.
A short while later, Tsunade, the village's top medical ninja, arrived at the Hyuga residence. "Tsunade-sama!" Hiashi greeted her respectfully.
Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage and one of the most skilled medical ninjas, deserved such respect.
"I'll take a look at Hinata's condition first," Tsunade said, nodding to Hiashi before heading
into the room where Hinata lay.
Akira quickly moved aside to give Tsunade space. Some things were best left to the
professionals.
After a thorough examination, Tsunade let out a long sigh.
"Tsunade-sama, you sighed just now. Does that mean the situation is serious?" Akira asked, showing his respect for the medical expert.
It's always a good idea to be polite to the person in charge of your loved one's health, after all.
"I sighed not because of Hinata's condition, but because of how reckless she's been with her own body. To force her eyes to evolve like this-it's no wonder she's in such bad shape!" Tsunade glanced at Akira as she spoke.
Tsunade could easily guess why Hinata had pushed herself so hard, and it didn't take a genius
to figure out that her motivation was linked to Akira.
Akira understood Tsunade's meaning immediately.
"So that's why her body is in this state," Akira mused. "But every cloud has a silver lining."
"Yes, it's bad that her body's in trouble, but from another perspective, there's a positive side
to all of this!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
