"Chakra is formed from the body energy extracted from the one hundred and thirty trillion cells in the human body, combined with the mental energy accumulated through extensive training. The amount of chakra determines a ninja's strength and quality. Generally speaking, ninjas with large chakra reserves achieve this only after countless trials and missions. Although you are just students now, you too will experience this kind of life in the future..."
The Chunin instructor on the podium lectured endlessly, while a pile of students below had already dozed off.
The routine lessons were indeed sleep-inducing, and Rakawa was also resting his head on his desk, disappointing many who had hoped to see the 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 hardworking genius. If I had that talent, I'd already be famous throughout the Shinobi World."
Some boys spoke with a hint of sourness. The title of "genius" always came with countless accolades.
In truth, Rakawa was not lazy; his strength had long surpassed the level required for Ninja Academy graduation. He had no need to attend the school's lessons. He was here because of a mission from the Clan Head and to investigate another matter.
Chakra extraction was his most urgent task at the moment, something he worked on constantly.
The Hyuga Clan possessed extraordinary talent in taijutsu. Apart from a select few, all the taijutsu powerhouses in Konohagakure came from the Hyuga Clan.
The Gentle Fist was renowned throughout the Shinobi World, forming one of the Hyuga Clan's defenses, along with the Byakugan.
The Byakugan was one of the Three Great Dōjutsu, offering a 360-degree field of vision (the Branch Family's Byakugan had a one-degree blind spot due to the Cursed Seal). It allowed the user to see chakra flow in their surroundings, possessed Telescopic Vision to observe distant objects, Penetrating Vision to see through objects, and could even perceive an opponent's Chakra Pathway System and Tenketsu. By amplifying the eyes' abilities with chakra, one could see things up to a kilometer away, surpassing the Sharingan in observational power.
Since he had not been branded with the Caged Bird Seal, he had no blind spot.
This dōjutsu originated from Kaguya Otsutsuki and was inherited as a Kekkei Genkai from her second son, Hamura Otsutsuki.
The Byakugan's power was incredibly formidable, astonishingly so. Multiple Byakugan gathered together could evolve into the Tenseigan, which possessed the power to destroy and create.
However, his Byakugan was somewhat peculiar. Perhaps a problem during his transmigration had caused his Byakugan to mutate. In addition to its known abilities, it possessed another power: absorption.
This absorption ability had previously only manifested when facing the Hyuga Main Family. Every time he activated his Byakugan and saw a member of the Main Family, or even other clan members, a voice in his heart seemed to tell him, 'Absorb, absorb the life before you.'
But he suppressed that voice. The Hyuga Clan had treated him well, so how could he commit such an atrocious act?
Yet, that same voice had resurfaced during his recent confrontation with Fugaku Uchiha, leading him to a bold speculation.
Perhaps this mutated Byakugan's ability wasn't just directed at the Main Family, but at Kekkei Genkai itself!
The Byakugan possessed the ability to absorb Kekkei Genkai? This was something he had never imagined possible.
But if he could develop this unique ability, could it lead to another form of Ninjutsu? A Ninjutsu exclusive to him?
If successful, this would be another Kekkei Genkai, a completely new one.
Based on his current research, this Byakugan's ability had significant room for improvement. He should perfectly unleash its absorption attribute. This would not only give him an advantage against other Kekkei Genkai 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 far stronger than others, but chakra was generated by the fusion of body energy and mental energy. Excessive mental energy alone didn't offer many benefits.
However, strong mental energy was quite effective against Genjutsu. If this trend continued, he might be able to resist many Genjutsu in the future, perhaps even become immune.
The terrifying power of Genjutsu was unbelievable. If he could become immune, that will be a stroke of luck.
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, there was another power supporting his confidence: his Earth, Wind, Fire chakra natures.
Three natures that could be simultaneously activated for Nature Transformation, fusing Earth, Wind, and Fire to form a new release: Dust Release!
Dust Release was not a Kekkei Genkai, but a Kekkei Tota, which transcended Kekkei Genkai.
Kekkei Genkai involved the innate combination of any two chakra natures to form a new Nature Transformation, while Kekkei Tota involved the combination of three chakra natures. Users of this chakra attribute were extremely rare.
Currently, there was another Dust Release user in the Shinobi World: the Third Tsuchikage of Hidden Stone Village, Onoki.
However, Rakawa's Dust Release differed from Onoki's. Although it involved the same three Nature Transformations, it had also mutated, possessing even greater power.
Both his Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tota had mutated. Rakawa continuously improved these two abilities, delving deeper into their research, and reaped immense rewards.
It was thanks to these two abilities that he was confident he could fight above his level.
A long time passed, and the bell for the end of class rang. Rakawa slowly lifted his head and walked out without a word.
In his eyes, the so-called classmates in this classroom were merely little kids.
Just as he reached the classroom door, Fugaku Uchiha blocked his path.
"Hyuga Rakawa!"
Fugaku Uchiha's face was grim, his teeth clenched, and his gaze fixed fiercely on Rakawa.
"What kind of skill is a sneak attack? If you're capable, fight me honorably."
The students in the classroom stopped, seemingly waiting for Rakawa's response.
Rakawa looked at him indifferently, showing no joy or sorrow, making his thoughts unreadable.
Another prominent figure from the school saw the situation and quickly spoke up, "This is a school, not a battlefield. There should be peace here."
"Silence! This has nothing to do with you, Minato Namikaze."
"And it has nothing to do with you, Fugaku Uchiha!"
