As Qingming anticipated, the subsequent surgery went smoothly. The transplantation of the Byakugan was a success.
About half an hour later, Qingming sat up from the stone operating table.
He touched the space between his brows, where a new eye had seamlessly integrated, appearing as though it had always been there. There was no trace of modification.
This natural appearance was primarily due to his mastery of the high-level medical ninjutsu, Palm Sage Jutsu.
While it looked perfect externally, Qingming could still sense a subtle discordance within.
After pondering briefly, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, enduring the discomfort in his eyes as he used the left eye's ability—Heaven's Reign!
In an instant, an invisible force enveloped his body, temporarily removing him from this world.
Taking advantage of this, Qingming modified his body to eliminate the side effects of the suppressive drugs.
A few moments later, he reappeared on the operating table, and his body's natural healing abilities began to take effect.
This self-healing quickly resolved the subtle discordance in his brow area.
This demonstrated the key difference between medical ninjutsu and natural healing abilities.
No matter how advanced medical ninjutsu is, it remains an external aid. True compatibility and evolution come only from the body's own choices.
Qingming waited silently. Once the discordance completely disappeared, he began testing the capabilities of his newly transplanted eye.
If the eye was non-functional, no amount of perfect transplantation would matter.
To Qingming's relief, his Byakugan didn't suffer the same drawback as Kakashi's Sharingan, which couldn't deactivate.
The same went for Ao, whose eye had to be sealed with a protective charm—partly to shield it and partly to minimize chakra consumption.
For Qingming, however, even when inactive, the transplanted eye consumed only negligible chakra. It was as ordinary as any other eye.
Taking a deep breath, Qingming calmed himself and, following an innate sense, focused his chakra and activated the Byakugan in his brow.
In an instant, a unique vision filled his mind.
At that moment, the surroundings seemed nonexistent, and his sight pierced through everything effortlessly. He could also focus on specific areas of interest.
For example, he could clearly see a shadow clone stationed on a large tree outside the cave, standing guard.
Interestingly, as he observed, the clone seemed to sense something and scanned the surroundings warily.
Unfortunately, it found nothing.
Just as the clone was about to investigate further, Qingming's voice rang in its mind:
"Don't worry, it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the clone immediately relaxed.
Back in the underground hall, Qingming deactivated the Mind Link Jutsu and resumed testing the Byakugan.
Time passed, and after about a minute, his eye began to feel sore. Sensing this, he stopped and deactivated the Byakugan, allowing it to rest.
There was no doubt about it—he had succeeded.
With this eye, he could clearly see anything within a one-kilometer radius.
Moreover, without the constraints of the Caged Bird Seal, his Byakugan lacked the blind spot that afflicted other Hyūga branch members.
In this regard, the result was flawless.
However, the only downside was its chakra consumption, which was higher than he had anticipated—likely due to it not being a natural fit.
Additionally, he couldn't sustain the Byakugan for long. Whether this limitation was due to the recent transplant or other reasons, he wasn't sure.
For now, he could maintain the Byakugan for less than a minute before needing to deactivate it to rest. Overuse caused pain and mental fatigue.
These were issues he would need to address in the future.
Still, his intuition told him these were minor problems.
After all, the first attempt at surgery often comes with imperfections; subsequent improvements resolve them.
Except, of course, Qingming had no plans for a second surgery.
Shaking his head, he turned his focus to his Proficiency Panel.
The familiar blue screen appeared before him:
Name: Uchiha Qingming

Constitution: 19
Spirit: 20

Bloodline:

Qingming's gaze landed on the bloodline section, drawn to the entry for the Byakugan.
Sure enough, his plan had worked.
Though he had expected this outcome, seeing the Byakugan's awakening progress confirmed on the panel made him genuinely excited.
From now on, like his Sharingan, he could improve the Byakugan through consistent effort.
While the Byakugan's reputation in the ninja world wasn't as impressive, its potential couldn't be denied.
As the natural eye of the Ōtsutsuki clan, it held immense possibilities for growth and diverse abilities.
Qingming wasn't aiming for anything extraordinary. Enhancing its range and penetrating power alone would be immensely beneficial.
Currently, his Byakugan could only see one kilometer, with its vision somewhat hindered by certain chakra environments.
If he could evolve the eye to bypass all obstructions and extend its range to two, three, or even more kilometers, it would be a game-changer.
This improvement would effectively address his scouting weaknesses.
As for whether the Byakugan itself could achieve such feats?
With his proficiency panel and Human Reign, Qingming was confident he could overcome the eye's inherent limitations.
However, he still needed to figure out how to awaken the Byakugan fully and improve its evolution.
The Mirror Heart Technique, though extensively modified by him, was originally designed for the Sharingan. It couldn't assist the Byakugan.
So, to enhance the Byakugan, he would need to devise a new approach.
