Then Ryun reviewed the various eye abilities in the ninja world, and afterwards increasingly felt that his guess was very likely correct. If eyes were just ordinary organs for ninja to use jutsu, that would be one thing, but powerful eyes like the Rinnegan themselves carried sufficiently powerful jutsu; as long as one had the aptitude to install these eyes, they could use the powerful jutsu stored within them.
Moreover, eyes in the ninja world had a strong hot-swappable property; with the assistance of some medical ninjutsu, one could achieve a lossless eye transplant, with the only issue being that mismatched bloodlines might lead to increased energy consumption.
Didn't this further illustrate that eyes possess a strong independence from the body?
Also, if Yang Release's function manifests in the human body, then where does Yin Release's function manifest?
The answer was already very clear; the most common location was the eyes.
Then, was it possible that eye activation had similar effects and functions as physical activation?
Thinking of this, Ryun's spirits lifted. He felt he had finally solved the mystery of why Hinata, as a big eater, couldn't get full.
That was, her constantly activating eyes continuously absorbed the food Hinata ate, converting it into her dojutsu power for the eyes to grow and evolve.
As a result, due to Hinata's limited talent and not eating enough, her eyes ultimately didn't evolve, and the development of her physical talent was also affected.
One could only say this was a tragedy often faced after bloodline dilution. Even when given the chance for bloodline regression, later generations didn't know how to develop such abilities.
Seeing this, Ryun became even more determined to make Hinata's talent come to fruition.
Because once this talent of hers was realized, not only would her own strength advance by leaps and bounds, but it might also be crucial for whether Ryun could break through to the Six Paths level.
A Byakugan pure enough, combined with enough Byakugan sacrificed, and finally combined with the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline, would give birth to the Tenseigan, a power of the Six Paths level.
Originally, Ryun hadn't included this power within the feasible scope of his own strength progress, because he didn't meet any of these three conditions.
But now it seemed, perhaps it wasn't entirely without opportunity.
A sufficiently pure Byakugan could be obtained from the simulations of Hinata and Hanabi; as for Byakugan dojutsu power, it also seemed possible to find a way to accumulate it.
As for the final Otsutsuki bloodline, when it came down to it, wasn't that just sufficiently strong talent?
Once Ryun had talent comparable to it, even without the Tenseigan, couldn't he create his own dojutsu?
Having thought this through, Ryun considered a question he hadn't paid attention to before.
That was, does another branch of the Byakugan clan truly exist on the moon? If so, would Toneri still come to take Hinata, and if he really came, how should Ryun deal with it?
With Ryun's current talent, by then he certainly wouldn't be a match for Toneri with the Tenseigan.
In the original storyline, Toneri with the Tenseigan lost to Naruto in Nine-Tails Sage Mode, but Naruto at this time and the Naruto during the Fourth Shinobi World War were not comparable.
Even if Naruto at this time couldn't enter Six Paths Sage Mode, he already possessed complete Nine-Tails chakra and had the experience of entering Six Paths mode; his strength wouldn't be much less than a true Six Paths level.
Coupled with Sage Mode being able to break through the defenses of Six Paths mode, it wasn't strange that the battle-hardened warrior Naruto defeated Toneri, a mage who had power but little combat experience.
Ryun believed that by the time he grew to a few years later, he still wouldn't reach the level to contend with the Six Paths level.
Regarding this, Ryun thought of two possible solutions.
The first was naturally to ask Naruto and Sasuke for help. Given the current relationship between the three, plus the goal was to save comrades from the village, they definitely wouldn't refuse.
The second was to strike first, have a child with Hinata early and end the simulation.
Or he could find a way to absorb the dojutsu power of Hinata and Hanabi, then try to go to the moon and defeat Toneri without the Tenseigan.
Before obtaining the Tenseigan, Toneri's combat strength was relatively mediocre.
Although he was still a descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, he no longer had any super jutsu that could decide the outcome of a battle.
Even if he could form relatively strong combat power by controlling puppets, facing a Ryun going all out, he would likely have no way to resist.
As for exactly what to do, Ryun still needed to consider, or rather, act according to circumstances.
After all, this matter wouldn't happen until after the Ninja World War at the earliest; before that, Ryun still had some things he should do.
The main line was definitely to accompany Hinata, and then ensure Hinata learned as many of the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist techniques as possible, so that Hinata could absorb the experience Ryun had gained through training.
Besides that, the blueprints related to the Chakra Cannon also needed to be arranged, but this time it would be stolen just before the simulation ended.
Finally, Ryun also wanted to try contacting Orochimaru to see if he had any insights on dojutsu power.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Ryun began this simulation.
However, on the basis of originally binding the Genjutsu, Strength, Spirit, and Yin Release chakra talents, Ryun also spent a huge amount to bind Hinata's high-purity Byakugan and eye activation talent.
This way, it could basically ensure that Hinata's talent could be completely inherited, without the offspring declining in the most crucial Byakugan and eye activation aspects.
And the reason Ryun was so generous was because he believed that Karin would soon replenish his simulation count for him.
[Simulation Start]
[Remaining Simulation Count: 20]
[Simulation Target: Hinata]
[Initial Relationship: You like each other.]
[On your suggestion, Kurenai decides to come and observe the process of you applying the True Spirit Seal to Hinata. Hinata is very shy, so you cover Hinata's eyes.]
[Hinata is no longer shy because of this, but she also lets go. The girl's soft humming and unreserved sweet hugs make Kurenai blush furiously, to the point where she once wants to flee.]
[However, she endures and watches to the end, because you don't do anything strange, only applying the True Spirit Seal to Hinata, strengthening her body.]
[After Kurenai feels everything is over and leaves your room, you go find her. You ask her if she also wants to experience the True Spirit Seal, and Kurenai, fidgeting shyly, nods.]
Well...
Ryun touched his nose. This development was a bit thrilling.
He hadn't intended to do this kind of thing. Originally, he just wanted to use checking Kurenai's body to see if she was suitable for the True Spirit Seal as a way to get closer, and it just ended up like this?
Alright, since Kurenai didn't refuse, it meant it was indeed possible.
Sure enough, one had to be assertive with Kurenai.
Ryun licked his lips, already starting to look forward to his new life tomorrow.
[After Hinata wakes up, her spirit, energy, and appearance all have visible changes. After sparring with you, she gains some new insights into Gentle Fist.]
[Kurenai slowly wakes up at this time. Seeing you, she initially wants to angrily come and scold you, but is pulled away by the excited Hinata to show off the results, and you take the opportunity to slip away.]
[You begin using your sensory abilities to familiarize yourself with Konoha's current defense layout and the positions of the Suna-nin, preparing for the upcoming Chūnin Exams.]
[Soon, you confirm Temari's location and the location suspected to be Karin's. You haven't met Karin, but the powerful chakra unique to the Uzumaki clan, even greater in volume than Naruto's, definitely belongs to Karin and no one else.]
Seeing this, Ryun's eyes lit up.
Should he go find Karin now? After thinking for a moment, Ryun decided to abandon this idea.
The reason was simple: rescuing someone should naturally be done when they are at their most desperate. Moreover, rescuing her now might bring some trouble.
For example, if Kusagakure publicly demanded her back from Konoha, Konoha might come looking for Ryun. Although Ryun was no longer afraid of pressure from Konoha, he didn't want to start a conflict with them at this time.
Just as Ryun was thinking this, his simulation self had already begun to act.
[Taking advantage of Karin and her team going out for supplies, you appear before Karin and directly invite her, wanting to go on a date with her. Karin looks at you in shock, thinking you've mistaken her for someone else. After repeatedly confirming you are looking for her, she is so shy she almost faints.]
[The Kusagakure ninja in her group, enraged by this, wants to attack you, but is stopped by Konoha-nin who arrive upon hearing the news. Although this is a suspected diplomatic incident you caused, the Konoha-nin let you go on the grounds that you are a civilian and don't understand the Chūnin Exams.]
[You can only smile and wave goodbye to Karin. However, you don't give up and repeatedly appear near the Kusagakure ninja's lodging. The Kusagakure ninja find you very disagreeable, but having learned your identity, they dare not attack you.]
