Chapter 508: Hanabi Hyuga

Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new ninja: C-rank Hanabi Hyuga.

Charles opened the ninja details, starting with ninja skills.

Hanabi Hyuga: C-rank ninja

Star rating: 1 star

Basic Attack: Gentle Fist technique, Hyuga-style!

Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution

Skills: Hyuga-style: Rotation, Eight Trigrams Consecutive Palms, Hyuga-style: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms.

Hyuga-style: Rotation: Through rapid spinning, chakra is released from the body's acupoints to form a protective barrier around oneself, attacking enemies in the vicinity. However, Hanabi Hyuga has not yet fully mastered this jutsu.

Looking at this skill, Charles raised an eyebrow.

Not yet fully mastered?

He continued reading.

Eight Trigrams Consecutive Palms: Launches a swift attack forward. If it hits the enemy, it uses Gentle Fist to deliver continuous acupoint strikes, then blasts the enemy away.

Hyuga-style: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms: Hanabi Hyuga positions herself in the Eight Trigrams stance, delivering thirty-two palm strikes in a short time, culminating in the Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher, which blasts the enemy away.

Charles was surprised by Hanabi Hyuga's three skills; it seemed she had developed her own unique style.

Hanabi Hyuga's ultimate skill was much stronger than in the original Naruto series. The Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher, a jutsu Neji Hyuga only learned three years after the Chunin Exams, was now in the hands of Hanabi Hyuga. This represented a significant buff.

Upon recruiting Hanabi Hyuga, Charles's chakra reserve increased by 1 card, reaching 135 cards. He also felt his Byakugan's strength increase, though there was no noticeable change.

Charles knew there were three possible evolutions for the Byakugan:

Jōgan: An eye technique unique to Boruto Uzumaki. The Jōgan's abilities are similar to the Byakugan, but the Jōgan's vision is in color instead of black and white. It has a far greater field of vision than the standard Byakugan and can perceive special chakra and spatial coordinates.

Tenseigan: A supreme eye technique achieved by combining the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. It possesses the power of creation and destruction and is as powerful as the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths.

Owner: Toneri Otsutsuki

Rinnegan: Urashiki Otsutsuki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations can switch his Byakugan into blue Rinnegan, suggesting the Byakugan can directly evolve into the Rinnegan. The exact method of evolution is unknown.

Owner: Urashiki Otsutsuki

Charles had studied these three eye techniques related to the Byakugan. He understood that the Jōgan and Tenseigan evolutions could be achieved by absorbing a sufficient number of Byakugan.

However, he was unsure how the Byakugan evolved into the Rinnegan.

Charles was quite hopeful about his Byakugan evolving into the Tenseigan on its own, as he could recruit multiple versions of Neji Hyuga, Hanabi Hyuga, and Hanabi Hyuga.

…

The level of purity needed to upgrade Byakugan was extraordinarily high.

Although Charles held onto the hope of recruiting Toneri Otsutsuki directly, he realized that hope was slim.

After all, he had yet to see a single S-rank ninja, let alone the super S-rank figures such as Toneri Otsutsuki, Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Letting go of thoughts of such powerful beings, Charles focused on reviewing his own information.

Looking over his information, Charles's attention was drawn to three specific aspects: artifacts, ninja pearls and reincarnation stones.

The artifacts function had not yet been activated. His accumulation of ninja pearls and reincarnation stones had grown, but they remained unused. Normally, as his strength increased, the artifact function should have opened, but there had been no sign of movement.

Could it be due to an insufficient VIP level, or might it require a specific recharge item?

Or perhaps it required a Marvel universe artifact recharge to unlock the ninja world artifacts?

Charles wondered if something like the Infinity Stones or Thor's Mjolnir and Stormbreaker might be the key to unlocking the artifacts.

He thought about it for a while but couldn't find an answer. However, after the Battle of New York, he could experiment with the Tesseract to see if it could activate the artifact feature, or if a higher VIP level was required.

Lastly, after reviewing his stock of ninja pearls and reincarnation stones, Charles decided to exit the system space. As for Hanabi Hyuga, without spending gold coins to open a deployment slot, she would stay in the ninja list for the time being.
