"Get ready, I'm about to begin. I don't know if your body has the potential to awaken the Corpse Bone Pulse, otherwise, this step might be simpler."
As he spoke, pairs of Byakugan eyes, under Lin Nianqi's control, aligned with Hyuga Neji's Byakugan.
Then, with the continuous infusion of primordial Qi, the most fundamental active factors within it also began to activate, and then, instinctively, they moved toward the items where these factors were most active.
A sapphire-like luster flickered in his pure white pupils, and under the gaze of the three, the green caged bird mark on Hyuga Neji's forehead also faded slightly.
Sensing an opportunity, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha stepped forward. Then, pure Yang Release chakra and Yin Release chakra surged into Neji Hyuga's body. During this process, Sasuke even tentatively channeled a Mangekyou Sharingan-level eye power into Neji's body...
"Holy crap, it's a money-devouring beast!"
Feeling the massive depletion of energy within the three individuals, along with the natural energy gathered from the outside world, Lin Nian, who somewhat understood the leap to the heavens through the evolution of the White Eyes, gave the other two a look and then slowly reduced the energy supply.
More than half an hour later, after Hyuga Neji's eyes could no longer sense sufficient external energy and naturally entered a temporary state of dormancy, the three of them reluctantly removed their hands. By then, the Caged Bird mark was no longer visible on Hyuga Neji's forehead.
With each blink of his eyes, a soul pressure powerful enough to intimidate elite Jonin was felt. After silently experiencing it for a long time, Hyuga Neji finally spoke with some uncertainty.
"The power that was imprisoned by the caged bird has returned? And its essence is even higher?"
Looking at the chakra in his hand, which was shimmering with a bluish light, and having just received chakra of a quality that was even purer than the lightning release chakra he had painstakingly cultivated over the years, Hyuga Neji suddenly fell into deep thought.
"What exactly is a caged bird?"
The Caged Bird Seal truly accompanied the entire Hyuga branch family throughout their lives. Since being marked with this seal, not only did their Byakugan gain a perspective they couldn't see, but it also created a weakness.
Even one's own chakra and eye power will be restricted by at least one-third, and the difficulty of circulating chakra will also increase.
It's like cutting their own combat power in half out of thin air.
This is the real reason why many members of the Hyuga clan's branch families can only reach the level of Jonin and then cannot advance any further.
The overly pure Yang Release affected the power of other ninjutsu within the Hyuga clan, and the imprisoned chakra and ocular power became the final straw that broke the camel's back for ordinary Hyuga ninjas.
But now, after he freed the caged bird, his strength has actually increased!
The eye power and chakra, which had been continuously drained and imprisoned, were mutually influencing and transforming within the Caged Bird Seiryu. Nourished by the power of the soul, they continuously evolved towards the legendary Tenseigan chakra, but…
Unless you're a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, the chance of achieving this is practically zero.
While this cursed seal protected ordinary Hyuga clan members, it also gave new hope to those with high-level talent, but it also endlessly shattered that hope. All of this made Hyuga Neji's expression extremely complicated.
For a moment, she actually showed genuine crying and laughing.
Unlike Neji Hyuga, who was blinded by his own involvement, the three who witnessed everything came to the same conclusion after fully understanding the various conditions required for the Tenseigan to evolve.
Either the Caged Bird Seal has become incomplete over countless years of inheritance, or the person who cast the Caged Bird Seal was chosen incorrectly!
As for why the Caged Bird Seal has a curse mark that controls people, it can only be said that there are always a group of non-human beings who hold high positions, are not lacking in talent and intelligence, but have evil intentions, who are born among the human race.
If the Caged Bird Sequence is composed of the pure Byakugan chakra and Yin-Yang Release chakra of one Hyuga clan member engraved into the soul of another Hyuga clan member, causing their most essential chakra to undergo a self-transformation.
So, the caged bird in the physical body must have another function! To absorb natural energy and power the transformation of the white eye!
When the Hyuga clan's Byakugan evolves to near the Tenseigan level, the caged bird that imprisons everything will naturally dissolve under the increasingly terrifying soul and the essence of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.
But now…
Thinking about the entire ninja world, everyone fell into deep thought after realizing that the Sage Mode created by the Otsutsuki brothers had not been passed down at all, and that the only Sage Mode that could still be found had to be learned from the three great holy lands.
"Otsutsuki...Isshiki?"
In response, Lin Nian shifted the blame for the future era onto Danzo, since Danzo truly couldn't bear the responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke nodded seriously and affirmed.
"Otsutsuki Ichishiki!"
After all, there are three types of people that Sasuke Uchiha hates most in his life: those who can't recognize their own worth, those who are cunning and manipulative, and those who prevent him from being a cunning and manipulative person!
Lin Nian and Sasuke Uchiha exchanged a glance and affirmed each other's point. As for Naruto Uzumaki?
When even Ashura learns to use his brain, that will definitely be the worst time! And by then, will it make any difference whether he's there or not?
"Have you thought it through? Caged bird, what will you do?"
Lin Nian's soft words broke Hyuga Neji's current state of mind. The change in his identity and the broadening of his horizons made him understand the deep sea of this world. After realizing that even he could drown if he was not careful, Hyuga Neji, whose mentality, strength, and identity had all changed, spoke firmly after a moment of contemplation.
“The caged bird cannot be abolished until we have cleaned the area in front of our house. And if I can replace the caged bird in the future, the eagle that can break free from its cage and fly high will surely be able to fly freely in the sky, right?”
"But you should know that right now, your real focus is only on improving your strength, and it's impossible for you to find time to improve the Caged Bird Seal within the next ten years. So, what about those main families? What have you decided?"
After all, even if Hyuga Neji truly abolished the Caged Bird Seal forever, he wouldn't cause much trouble. The entire ninja world truly needs the Byakugan, and the only one Lin Nian is unsure about now is Otsutsuki Toneri. As for the others? Heh…
"Let's put them all in cages! They've been high and mighty for too long. If they want to live, this is the only way. Otherwise, those branch families who have been oppressed their whole lives will skin them alive. And I, from this moment on, am the head of the Hyuga clan!"
"Besides, those bastards were pretty arrogant when they were kids. Now, I'll show them how arrogant they can still be!"
At this point, even Hyuga Neji, who had always maintained a bitter and resentful expression, revealed a wicked smile.
Seeing that incredibly familiar smile, Lin Nian felt a surge of relief. After all, he had saved another troubled teenager—a truly joyous occasion…
