Chapter 25: Using Byakugan to Research Byakugan! Transparent World?

"What do you intend to do?!"

Mei Terumi was both shocked and furious at this scene. The precious Byakugan that Kirigakure had paid a heavy price to obtain was now being snatched away.

"If you keep talking, I'll seal you up and throw you out," Ishihara said with an impatient frown. This woman was really annoying.

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth in anger but, after witnessing the earlier scene and the previous attack, she realized she was up against someone formidable. Reluctantly, she held back her thoughts and focused intently on Ishihara's actions.

Ishihara, on the other hand, had no intention of hiding his actions from Mei Terumi. Bringing her to the base meant he never planned to let her go. Seeing her quiet down, he brought the Byakugan to the experiment table to begin his research.

"First, let's examine the structure of the Byakugan and see how it differs from a normal eye."

Ishihara placed the Byakugan under a microscope, carefully observing it while recalling the ocular anatomy knowledge he had learned from Orochimaru, comparing the two.

"The Byakugan has a smaller pupil, different positioning from normal eyes, more complex neural connections, and numerous chakra pathways..."

Ishihara meticulously recorded each observation. This was his first significant experiment, and he wanted to do it perfectly. After these observations, he collected cellular samples from the Byakugan for further study and then used chakra to sense its internal structure.

Time passed slowly.

Ishihara's research on the Byakugan progressed rapidly, and his mind was bursting with insights. Mei Terumi, watching Ishihara's focused work, found herself momentarily distracted.

"He does look handsome when he's working, though he's a bit cold."

"What am I thinking?!"

Ashamed of her thoughts, Mei Terumi's face reddened, but her gaze remained fixed on Ishihara. Suddenly, Ishihara stood up from the experiment table, muttering with a frown:

"It's not enough. This surface-level research can't uncover the root of the Byakugan's abilities! Do I have to dissect it?"

He could feel that his mind was teeming with inspiration. If he wanted, he could create a new secret technique now. But such a technique wouldn't be enough for him! This intuition came from his extensive use of the system.

Mei Terumi was shocked. "You want to dissect the Byakugan?!"

Dissecting the Byakugan would ruin it permanently, making it impossible to reclaim. Ishihara looked displeased and stared at Mei Terumi impatiently. "Did you forget what I said earlier?"

Seeing him about to act, Mei Terumi quickly said:

"Wait, I just want to remind you that besides the Hyuga Clan in Konoha, this is the only intact Byakugan in the entire ninja world! If you make a mistake in the dissection, no matter what you want to do, it will be impossible."

"It's better to keep the Byakugan and think of other methods to try!"

Orochimaru, who had been watching silently, said nothing. He quietly observed Ishihara, wanting to witness firsthand the process of Ishihara creating a secret technique and see how terrifying Ishihara's talent and insight were.

Ishihara, hearing Mei Terumi's words, calmed down a bit. He realized he had been too hasty. The appearance of the Akatsuki Organization, especially the potential confrontation with them, had put him under great pressure. In past experiments, even with existing data, he often needed a long time to create a complete secret technique. And now, he had only had the Byakugan for a few hours.

"Mei Terumi is right. There must be another way!"

Closing his eyes, Ishihara's mind raced. He reviewed the various ninjutsu and secret techniques he had mastered, searching for a solution. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, a gleam of realization in them.

"Maybe I can try this!"

He immediately picked up the Byakugan, releasing chakra to link with it. Then, he smiled in surprise. "It worked!"

Mei Terumi and Orochimaru's spirits lifted, watching intently. Ishihara was excited not only because of the significant progress in his Byakugan research but also because he had discovered a previously overlooked secret technique!

[Life Chain: After using this technique, you can transfer your chakra to another person and link with them, allowing you to heal their injuries promptly.]

Initially, Ishihara hadn't paid much attention to this technique, but now he realized its potential. This secret technique was unique because it touched on one of the fundamental properties of chakra—transmission and linkage!

Just like Naruto transferring Nine-Tails' chakra during the Fourth Great Ninja War, this secret technique, in a sense, had reached one of the fundamental aspects of chakra. Just now, after linking with the Byakugan using the Life Chain, Ishihara felt as though he had gained an additional eye—a Byakugan that he could control!

"Life Chain, an incredible secret technique!"

If he could control the Byakugan, could he control the Sharingan too? Could he control... people?! The thought startled Ishihara, but after pondering, he realized it wasn't impossible. Like Naruto being controlled by the Nine-Tails' chakra in his transformed state.

"This has little relevance to my current research."

Shaking his head, Ishihara refocused on the Byakugan. Taking a deep breath, he linked with the Byakugan again. The black-and-white transparent vision flooded into his mind, a peculiar sensation as if his eyes were receiving a special wavelength of light that could penetrate skin, flesh, and bone!

And the focal point of this vision was strangely 360 degrees.

"Could it be that the Byakugan receives special wavelengths from all directions? Or does this light itself transmit information?"

Countless sparks of insight lit up in Ishihara's mind, filling him with excitement. He then focused his vision on the Byakugan, its structure vividly appearing in his mind. Such clarity and comprehensiveness couldn't be achieved even through dissection!

"I see. The Byakugan is this unique?!"

Taking a deep breath, Ishihara was astonished by the complex neural networks and chakra pathways within the Byakugan, more intricate than the human body. Even if he wanted to create it, it would be a monumental task!

But Ishihara had no such plans. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create the Sharingan training method.

"Like the Sharingan, the Byakugan needs to awaken to exhibit its special abilities. Hence, the essence of these dojutsu lies in their chakra!"

"And this vision feels similar to an ability from an anime I watched in my previous life!"

Ishihara began studying the chakra within the Byakugan. When his chakra entered the Byakugan, it underwent subtle changes, granting the Byakugan its perception abilities.

[You carefully observed the Byakugan's structure and analyzed its chakra, creating the secret technique: Transparent World.]

"Transparent World? Still not enough!"

Taking a deep breath, Ishihara continued his research. He wanted more than just the Byakugan's perception ability.
