Chapter 21: Konoha Year 60, The Ultimate Profile

Chapter 21: Konoha Year 60, The Ultimate Profile

Time passed like a flowing river.

Before he knew it, childhood had reached its final chapter.

Late March, Konoha Year 60.

The most extraordinary generation in history finally reached graduation day.

“Izayoi-kun, wake up. Today’s the graduation exam.”

For once, Izayoi had indulged in a lie-in.

Still lost in dreams, he was gently tugged into reality by a soft female voice.

Its owner stood beside him, yet her presence hadn’t startled him awake. This spoke volumes about Izayoi’s complete trust in her—no guard, no hesitation.

Eyes fluttering open, the hazy outline of a figure gradually sharpened into focus.

A face once round with youth now bore delicate, mature features. Long, jet-black hair cascaded past her waist like liquid silk, framing pale skin that glowed like fresh snow against her white coat and black mesh undershirt.

Her Byakugan, distinct from her clan’s traditional pale white, shimmered with a faint lavender hue—like polished gemstones. Full lips curved into a small smile, she leaned down, hands clasped behind her back, watching him blink awake.

Locked in Hinata Hyuga’s gaze, Izayoi felt a flicker of nostalgia. That cherubic face from six years ago still seemed so close.

But his eyes suddenly dipped, a mischievous grin spreading. “Hinata, have you gotten bigger again?”

“Eep!”

Hinata yelped, realizing her compromising posture. She hastily zipped her coat to her chin, turned with a crimson blush, and stammered, “G-get ready, Izayoi-kun. I-I brought breakfast.”

She fled the room, leaving Izayoi chuckling.

After their daily ritual of playful teasing, Izayoi stretched and ambled into his private bathroom.

As he brushed his teeth, he studied his reflection.

Six years had transformed the round-faced boy into a sharply chiseled young man. His short black hair, slightly tousled from sleep, framed eyes that mirrored the ocean’s depths—currently shimmering under the light.

Then, without warning, those blue depths shifted to the same pale white as Hinata’s Byakugan, tinged with that telltale lavender glint. Yet unlike before, no bulging veins throbbed at his temples.

He narrowed his eyes. A translucent screen materialized in front of him—visible only to him, not reflecting in the mirror.

[User: Izayoi]
[Talent Traits: Otsutsuki Bloodline (Crimson), Sage’s Eye (Crimson), Byakugan’s Prince (Crimson), Six Paths Potential (Crimson), Kekkei Genkai Byakugan (Golden), Chakra Control (Golden), Swirl Bloodline (Purple)「+」, All Chakra Natures Affinity (Violet)「+」, Medical Genius (Blue)「+」]
[Points: 12,391]

Six years at the Ninja Academy had elevated his profile to unprecedented heights.

Beyond his original Otsutsuki lineage, three crimson-tier traits had been added: Sasuke Uchiha’s Sage’s Eye, the upgraded Byakugan’s Prince (fused from Hinata two years prior), and his own evolved Six Paths Potential.

While ordinary students struggled for basic talent traits, Izayoi now possessed four crimson-tier—the highest known rank. Even Naruto Uzumaki, blessed with Asura’s chakra and half the Nine-Tails, paled in comparison.

Yet closer inspection revealed oddities. Almost five years had passed since he fused the Sage’s Eye, yet neither Sharingan nor Uchiha Lineage traits had unlocked.

The answer lay in the golden-tier Kekkei Genkai Byakugan.

Since fusing Hinata’s crimson-tier gift two years ago, his chakra reserves had surged monthly. Though he couldn’t quantify the Sage’s Body’s natural output, he knew this: without a tailed beast or malnutrition, his chakra would dwarf Naruto’s.

His Yin Release chakra alone had long surpassed the threshold for Sharingan, even Mangekyou activation.

But no Sharingan emerged.

All Yin chakra secreted by his brain got siphoned by his Byakugan, preventing ocular evolution.

This absorption, however, elevated his Byakugan from purple to golden last year.

Coupled with Byakugan’s Prince, his visual range expanded exponentially. Now, he perceived everything within an 80-kilometer radius—360 degrees, with both microscopic and telescopic clarity.

This surpassed even the Uzumaki clan’s Heart Eye of Kuraigakure by a mile.

His sensory abilities had become unrivaled in this era.

A full year had passed since his Byakugan’s last evolution.

“Soon…”

After rinsing, he dabbed his mouth with a handkerchief, tracing his right eye’s lavender-tinged Byakugan. “I can feel it. The first Awakening Sign won’t be far now.”

At nineteen, Ōtsutsuki Toneri’s potential had already peaked early. His Otsutsuki bloodline, like the Sage’s Body, reached its zenith—allowing him to awaken the Tenseigan within days.

But neither Izayoi nor Toneri had reached their full potential yet. Even with Byakugan transplants from Hinata or Hanabi, neither could replicate the cinematic feat of evolving into a Tenseigan so quickly.

Yet Izayoi, possessing both Sage’s Eye (Crimson) and Byakugan’s Prince, held an undeniable advantage—dual acceleration.

At twelve, he already stood on the brink of awakening a divine ocular technique.

A timeline even more absurd than Itachi Uchiha’s Mangekyou awakening at eleven.
