Chapter 44
Two days later
It had been two days since Naruto acquired the Byakugan mixed with his six eyes. He was practicing his new dojutsu and doing chakra control exercises.
With 38-45% Otsutsuki blood flowing through his veins, his powers were increasing, and his chakra density had risen. He resembled a walking-tailed beast in human form.
.
Naruto strolled through Konoha's streets, unaffected by the hateful glares from the villagers.
He had turned off Kagura's mind eye to avoid overwhelming his mind with negative and hateful emotions.
He knew these people were insignificant to him; he could easily kill them if provoked.
Basking in the sunlight, he closed off his senses and walked in peace.
An apple in his hand, bitting while heading forward.
.
Soon, he found himself on an empty street, heading towards the training ground where he and his new team members were to meet.
Suddenly, an ink tiger roared and lunged at him from behind. Naruto continued walking, taking advantage of his perfect Byakugan vision. Just as the tiger's paw was about to strike, it hit a fist-sized rock. Naruto appeared 20 meters ahead.
Undeterred, the tiger roared again and charged at him. This time, a hawk swooped down from the sky, dropping explosive tags.
Naruto, with his 360-degree vision, saw the approaching explosions. He quickly infused chakra into a kunai and threw it at breakneck speed, destroying the explosive tags and hitting the hawk. the hawk exploded in ink.
Naruto jumped and turned to face the incoming tiger. Extending his left hand, a chain shot out from his palm, obliterating the tiger upon contact.
The street ahead was soon filled with various ink creatures, ranging from dogs and cats to lions and rhinos on the ground, and crows and hawks in the sky.
Naruto smiled, finding the situation intriguing. He didn't anticipate his new teammate possessing such powerful abilities. The ink creatures were numerous and diverse, posing a challenge even for a group of skilled Jonin ninjas.
These creatures varied in rank from genin to Jonin, and Naruto mused about how well Danzo must have trained his teammate.
He observed the creatures closely, all within his field of vision. As they rushed towards him, a spear launched from an ink-formed man. Naruto deftly sidestepped, allowing the spear to pass harmlessly by his ear and hit another ink creature.
Assuming a taijutsu stance, Naruto engaged in combat. His movements were fluid and graceful, each strike swiftly dispatching an ink creature. In just three minutes, all the ink creatures were vanquished, and not a single stain marred his clothing.
.
Surveying his handiwork, Naruto noticed the destruction left in his wake. The street was now in ruins.
Sai, who had been observing from a tree, was astonished by Naruto's taijutsu prowess. He was unaware that Naruto hadn't even employed his primary taijutsu style.
Sai began drawing more ink creatures but felt a disturbance in the tree.
"Are you done playing?" he heard a voice.
Turning, he spotted Naruto leaning against the tree, watching him.
Seeing Naruto there, Sai's iconic smile surfaced, giving him an innocent appearance. "Yes," he replied with a smile.
Curious, Naruto asked, "So, who are you?" He knew Sai was his future teammate but played along.
"Sai. I've been assigned as a new member of Team 7," Sai responded with a smile.
Naruto nodded and commented, "That's good." He then leaped down from the tree, landing gracefully on the ground. Sai followed suit, and they continued towards their training ground in silence.
.
During the journey, neither spoke, maintaining an uneasy silence.
"You don't use your full power, do you?" Sai finally broke the silence, sensing an odd tension.
Naruto grinned, replying, "You're right. Using my full power against your ink creatures wouldn't be much fun." He subtly indicated that Sai's attacks were relatively weak.
Unfamiliar with emotional nuance and humor, Sai didn't catch the underlying message. "So, what's your real strength?" Sai inquired, genuinely curious.
"Hehe... my true strength? You'll discover that in due time," Naruto responded enigmatically.
Again, his words went over Sai's head, who simply smiled and feigned understanding. Sai was used to following orders and executing missions without such wordplay.
.
Soon, they arrived at the training ground. Sakura was seated on a rock, waiting for her new teammates and the new sensei to initiate the mission.
She noticed two boys approaching and observed their changed demeanor over the past six months, especially Naruto after his return from that mission. Her mindset had evolved during this time.
.
As both boys reached her, she greeted Naruto, "Hey Naruto, how are you? I heard about your injuries. I'm sorry I couldn't visit. Tsunade Sensei had kept me busy."
"I'm fine, Sakura. No need to worry," Naruto reassured her.
Sakura turned her attention to the other boy, who greeted her with a smile that appeared somewhat forced.
"I'm Sai, your new teammate. Nice to meet you," he introduced himself.
Sakura regarded him with a perplexed expression, finding his appearance and mannerisms unusual. She settled onto the rock without saying much.
Sai, unsure of how to initiate conversation, settled on another rock, slightly away from Sakura.
Observing their interactions, Naruto also took a seat beneath a tree. The trio waited for their new team captain in silence.
Leaning against the tree trunk with his left leg stretched out and his right leg bent, Naruto assumed a relaxed posture.
His gaze was directed at a specific point, and his eyes glinted with intensity. His line of sight pierced through all barriers, reaching the Hokage's office.
Merging the Byakugan with his six eyes eliminated the visual limitations he previously faced.
Before, his vision extended infinitely as long as no obstruction intervened, and he could even see down to the atomic level at close range.
After the merge, these weaknesses were eradicated, granting him the ability to see in all directions simultaneously without hindrance. His vision knew no boundaries, and he possessed the true 'ALL SEEING EYES.'
.
Naruto's gaze penetrated the barriers placed on the Hokage's office, finally landing on his intended target—the Scroll of Sealing. His gaze sliced through the seals as he studied and memorized the forbidden jutsus.
His teammates regarded him curiously, witnessing his distant gaze and enigmatic smile. Eventually, Naruto emerged from his trance, meeting their puzzled stares. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he inquired.
Sakura voiced her curiosity, "You seemed lost in thought. What were you looking at?"
Naruto chuckled, revealing, "Oh... I was learning some forbidden jutsus." His mysterious tone piqued her interest, leaving her bewildered.
"Which jutsu?" Sakura asked, intrigued by his enigmatic response.
He smiled and answered, "You'll find out in due time." Naruto's response only added to the puzzle, leaving Sakura even more baffled.
