impossible.
The Byakugan is the bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan. Perhaps it's just an optical illusion, or perhaps I'm seeing things.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Itachi forcibly suppressed it.
However, Sasuke's performance just now far exceeded his usual training level. His amazing insight and incredible throwing accuracy truly surprised Itachi.
That cannot be explained by luck or hard work alone.
But my father never showed any sign of disdain.
"Wait, a recessive gene?"
Itachi thought of what he had learned in medical class, where there was a lot of knowledge about the human body.
Sometimes, offspring exhibit atavism, inheriting recessive genes from their parents that have not yet manifested.
Father... could it be that he has also merged the Byakugan's bloodline limit?
Or perhaps they possess some genes that give them a bloodline limit?
Itachi's thoughts are unclear; either way is very possible.
"How was it, brother?"
Seeing his brother remain silent for a long time, Sasuke couldn't contain himself any longer and asked with his eyes sparkling, his tone almost overflowing with anticipation.
Itachi remained silent for a moment, suppressing his doubts, and said softly in his usual calm tone:
"good."
This overly simplistic evaluation clearly failed to satisfy Sasuke.
He pouted, muttering somewhat resentfully:
"Only one 'not bad'... You hit all the marks just like me, but the one that can turn is harder, right?"
Itachi looked at his still-childish yet determined appearance and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
He stepped forward, extended his index finger, and gently poked Sasuke's smooth forehead with his knuckle.
"Forgive me, Sasuke, maybe next time."
His voice carried a subtle, complex emotion.
"it hurts!"
Sasuke covered his forehead, feigning anger, but quickly grinned and smiled.
"It's a promise, I'll definitely do better next time."
Sasuke's cheerful voice echoed through the quiet forest.
Itachi smiled slightly, responding to his younger brother's joy.
However, his gaze lingered involuntarily on Sasuke's eyes, which had regained their dark and clear color.
That flash just now...
Is it really just rolling your eyes?
Or... am I just overthinking it?
Chapter 414 Sasuke vs. Hinata, the Byakugan is exposed!
On the way back.
Itachi could clearly feel the regular heartbeat coming from Sasuke's chest on his back, warm and light, like a fledgling bird.
The two walked through the streets of Konoha and headed towards the Uchiha settlement.
As night deepened, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and a cool breeze swept by, stirring up fallen leaves from the street corner.
Occasionally, the shouts of vendors packing up their stalls could be heard, gradually fading into the distance, leaving only the echoes of footsteps on the stone-paved road.
Sasuke's body rested comfortably on Itachi's back, his small arms wrapped around his brother's neck.
His breathing was warm and gentle, and a subtle weight came from his back, making a soft spot in Itachi's heart quietly soften.
Itachi felt a slight fluctuation in Sasuke's aura on his back. He slowed down, stopped, and turned to look at his younger brother.
"what happened?"
His voice remained calm.
Sasuke raised his eyes, staring straight ahead, and said with unexpected seriousness:
"This must be the place... the place where every ninja in our clan goes to become a ninja."
Following my brother's gaze, I saw a massive concrete building, circular in shape, towering and imposing.
The nightlight illuminated the gray-white walls, outlining their stark contours. The emblems engraved on them gleamed faintly under the light, giving them a solemn appearance.
"This is the headquarters of the Konoha Police Force."
Itachi answered calmly, his eyes serene.
"In the past, the Uchiha could only join here, but the Hokage..."
Itachi looked around; there was no one else there.
"After Father becomes Hokage, we Uchiha can choose to join the Anbu."
All of this was brought about by my father, Kiyoshi.
Itachi carefully pondered these things.
Kiyoshi's magnanimity also grew in Itachi's heart.
What kind of magnanimity is required to do these things?
Sasuke stared intently at the badge, its shape reflected in his pupils, and asked curiously:
"I've been wondering about this for a while... why do the police force badges have the Uchiha clan crest?"
Itachi's gaze faltered slightly, a complex mix of emotions flashing through his mind.
He gazed at his younger brother's clear and earnest profile, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"What, you noticed...?"
"Of course!"
Sasuke immediately puffed out his chest, as if to prove his insight, and shouted it out loud.
The child's tender voice sounded exceptionally clear under the night sky, even startling a bird on a roadside branch.
Itachi's eyes softened, and he couldn't help but smile, a smile tinged with affection.
"Well... to put it simply, it's because our Uchiha ancestors established the police force, which is why our family crest is on the badge."
Itachi softened his tone, as if telling a story that his younger brother could understand.
"Since ancient times, the Uchiha clan has protected the security of Konoha. That family crest is proof of our clan's honor."
Sasuke listened quietly, his eyes gradually brightening, like moonlight reflected on clear water.
Itachi withdrew his gaze, his tone light, and continued:
"Now... the prestige of our Uchiha clan has far surpassed that of the past, reaching its peak, all because Father himself has become the glory of our Uchiha."
"Only a more skilled ninja can eradicate the crimes committed by ninjas."
Itachi said in a low voice, his eyes casting a shadow under the night light.
He silently added in his heart that only a more outstanding ninja could quell the conflict between ninjas.
"Brother, are you going to join us too?"
Sasuke suddenly spoke.
"Well... I don't know either..."
Itachi lowered his eyelids and spoke.
His voice was soft, but his eyes were heavy.
Itachi didn't know where he should go either.
He just wanted to make the village better.
Whether in the Anbu or the Konoha Police Department, he felt the same way.
You absolutely have to join!
Sasuke shouted without any room for doubt, his voice clear and loud, and that fervent belief made Itachi's chest tighten slightly.
"Because when I grow up... I want to join the police force!"
Sasuke had a determined look on his face, and his eyes shone like they were filled with starlight.
"That's it."
Itachi smiled.
……
Several days passed.
Kiyoshi's family.
Kiyoshi did not go to the Hokage Building today, but chose to train instead.
hum...
In his hands, the pale white barrier constantly changed shape, like a flowing stream of water.
Soon, the flowing water formed the shape of a shield.
Its appearance is like "Spiritual Spell: Fivefold Rashomon".
It stands straight up in the courtyard, like a gate.
"Let's call this technique 'Dust Release: Rashomon'."
Kiyoshi casually gave the ninjutsu in his hand a name.
He is improving his bloodline limit.
After synthesizing a bloodline limit, one must continuously practice and apply it skillfully to master it and finally make it useful.
As long as one has a deep enough understanding of "Dust Release" and strong enough chakra control, one can control its shape.
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, could only use the square-shaped "Dust" Release technique most likely because his skill level was insufficient. For example, his mentor, the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, could use "Dust Release: Particle Style - Pillar," directly using a cylindrical pillar of light to reduce the enemy to an atomic state and obliterate them.
"It can be considered a substitute for the 'Suzen-no-zun' (a type of teacup)."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
Although his eye technique is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy, even more than many space-time ninjutsu.
In theory, this technique can pull all ninjutsu into other dimensions and then annihilate them.
The higher the mass of the object being pulled and the more chakra it contains, the more chakra Kiyoshi, as the caster, needs to consume.
"You're already so strong, why do you still train so hard every day?"
Wow.
The sliding door in the courtyard was opened, revealing the delicate face of Yuhi Kurenai.
"Is it strong?"
Kiyoshi gently shook his head.
The Otsutsuki clan of the future will be truly powerful.
If we continue to live comfortably, we will not have enough strength when a crisis occurs.
"Yeah, there probably aren't many people in the ninja world who can rival you."
Yuhi Kurenai spoke.
When Kiyoshi was in the Third Shinobi World War, he shone brightly, overshadowing all the geniuses of his generation.
He became one of the most famous ninjas in the Third Shinobi World War.
