In the middle of the night, Hyuga sat in his room, feeling a surge of energy within his body.
"This energy... how is it possible?" he muttered, astonished.
His Byakugan was somehow channeling chakra back into his body, unlike anything he'd experienced before. The nature of this chakra was different—its quality was far superior to the chakra he usually refined.
"Could this explain Tetsu's transformation earlier?"
Hyuga pushed aside his thoughts, focusing on the chakra circulating through his meridians. As it moved, he felt his entire body changing, as if it were becoming clearer, more attuned. His senses sharpened—hearing, sight, everything was enhanced. Even his meridians had widened and strengthened under the influence of this chakra.
Hyuga realized he had to seize this sensation, embedding it deeply within himself. If this energy was as transformative as he believed, it could mean a new beginning for the entire Hyuga clan.
Hours passed. By morning, he hadn't left his room.
Meanwhile, after returning from school, Hyuga Tetsu pondered his progress.
"School doesn't have much to offer anymore. I might be ready to take the graduation exam early."
Thinking about the others, especially how they'd all taken exams early under Reiki's influence, Tetsu decided it was time to discuss it with his father.
As he searched the house, he couldn't find Hyuga. The only remaining option was his father's room, a place usually off-limits without permission.
"Tetsu, are you looking for your father?" his mother, Hyuga Hanano, asked as she entered, just returning from a mission.
"Mother, yes, I am... but I can't find him anywhere," Tetsu replied hesitantly.
Hanano smiled and patted his head. "Let's go look together," she said, leading him into Hyuga's room.
Inside, they found Hyuga surrounded by an intense ripple of chakra. It was evident his father's chakra was now pushing the limits of what his body could handle.
"Your father... what happened?" Hanano asked, bewildered.
"Mom, it's like what I experienced earlier! I only activated my Byakugan briefly, so it wasn't as intense. But we should call Reiki!" Tetsu remembered how his own transformation had followed a similar pattern, and it seemed his father was undergoing something even more profound.
"Reiki? The famous medical ninja you mentioned?" Hanano asked, surprised. Though she'd heard of Reiki's reputation, she had yet to meet him.
"Yes, Mom. Please stay with Father; I'll go find Reiki!"
Tetsu hurried to Tsunade's residence.
"Reiki!" he called out urgently.
Reiki appeared, prepared. "You're here already? Let's go."
"Reiki, you knew...?"
"Of course. I treated your father, so I anticipated this reaction. Surprised it took you this long to come find me," he replied with a confident smile. As a medical ninja, Reiki prided himself on his foresight.
They quickly returned to Hyuga's home.
"Hello, Hanano-sama. I'm Reiki, a registered medical ninja in Konoha," Reiki introduced himself with a polite bow. "I'll be handling the follow-up treatment. I'll need you to cooperate by leaving the room for now."
Hanano, bewildered, found herself ushered out of the room by Tetsu and Reiki, who then activated a barrier around Hyuga's room.
"Tetsu, what's happening?" Hanano asked her son, still disoriented.
Tetsu explained, "It's his eyes, Mom. This is similar to what happened to me before."
Hanano listened thoughtfully. She had hurried home due to Tetsu's remarkable progress, and now, seeing this transformation unfold, she was deeply intrigued.
"So all we can do now is wait?" she said, feeling helpless at the situation.
"No, Mom, there's something else. Reiki gave me this list," Tetsu said, handing her a note.
"A list of… medicinal ingredients?"
Hanano frowned as she scanned the list. Most of these items were rare and valuable, and acquiring them quickly would be challenging.
"Reiki said we don't need to issue a formal treatment request—just supply him with these ingredients," Tetsu explained. "And if Father's transformation is anything like mine, then…" he trailed off, but the implications were clear.
Hanano understood the significance. Although their family belonged to the Hyuga clan, they weren't from the main lineage. The clan leader wasn't an automatic successor, and Hyuga hadn't been groomed for that role. Strength was everything within the clan, and the lack of it prevented him from asserting his place among the main family members.
If this transformation truly enhanced his power, it could mean a monumental shift for their family…
